The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Levelling Up, I Became The strongest Dragon Elementalist

You live in the United States? Imagine if blue mana rain fell and dragons descended from the sky, lifeless, straight into your city or at your doorstep? Tell me what's gonna be the outcome? Lemme guess; mana fuses into everything, including life forms and the non-living and plants will be like, "I will kill everything", or even four-legged mammalian animals fused with mana begin to grow wings. It's gonna be a damn chaos with a bunch of weird stuff everywhere, I've been there and guess what? I saw a monkey with three asses. Hilarious right? But to me it was terrifying, like, what does a monkey need three damn ass for? But what if this all Mana situation was controlled? What would the results be? Evolution right. Yeah, humans are way too smart to let such an opportunity pass them by, but the same Homo sapiens were devious and selfish; they want all the good things to themselves. In this world, I am Jayden Logan, rejected by my father because I didn't get a great SAT score, but don't worry, I'm a genius. My SATs were low because of these devious humans, you can call them the weapon fashioned against me, but don't worry, I conquered. Eventually, I break through the tough bars of this world of beast taming and gain a beast with potential greater than anyone else's, and I even found true love. But my biggest rival was a scientific organisation, MAGEO and the man in charge? Guess who it was? The United States governor, body and soul. Swears, I was damn fascinated when I realised. They were sure planning something big with those dragons, I wasn't certain of it, but I knew it wasn't good. I don't really know how my story is gonna end, but one thing is certain, I'm gonna cultivate my beast and kick some ass.

He sees the glitches in people and in reality itself. Alongside him are his cousin, Carl, his female self, Jane and Carl's own gender swap, Carly Together, they begin to uncover the truth: two parallel Earths have Merged, overlapping into one unstable existence.

F-ranker Sword Saint: My Soulbound Sword is Secretly SSS-tier!

A century ago, colossal stone swords descended from the skies, stabbing deep at the heart of twenty-eight cities. Like so began the Sword Trials. Worlds against worlds, species against species, set in a separate, unique, battleground realm that resembled the greatest sword-themed, faction versus faction MMORPG to ever exist. Levels, Legendary Equipment, Hidden Quests, Guilds, Territories, Spawns, NPCs, Sword Skills, Loot that could transcend worlds through a special currency… Only those who can awaken their sword marks would be called Bladeborns, warriors of their race. Armed with Soulbound Swords of varying tiers that decided their ranking in the modern hierarchy, they would fight for the continued existence of their worlds. Ending the battle, however, proved far more difficult than expected. A seemingly unbreakable hundred-year stalemate was reached. The apocalyptic ending eventually faded from everyone’s minds, and being a Bladeborn suddenly turned into a profession. Some even treated the Sword Trials as a mere game. Schools began adding swordsmanship classes as a major subject, and those who excelled beyond their peers at the same high school would be called Sword Prince and Princesses. One such celebrity was Daru Finnley, a young man who had an unusual love for the sword. Named the Fallen Sword Prince after a disastrous awakening ceremony, the label of genius changed into garbage overnight. But his “trash” sword held a secret. And so did his soul… Three worlds WILL fall. === For the month of December 2025: For every 20 powerstones / 5 golden tickets = 1 bonus chapter A cumulative total of 150 powerstones for the entire month would trigger a grand mass release event for the month of January 2026.
