Life is a cycle. Wake up, go about the days, go to sleep. Rinse, repeat. But it doesn't feel real. It feels unusual. Wrong. Victor Von Dercht IV is the son of a super mogul. Eldest son of the second richest man in the world, son of the man who nearly owns the planet. Each day is the same. Awaken, train, study, formulate. An infinite cycle. But strangely, he can feel himself breaking away. Things are cyclical, and he knows it. It is fake. Each day he remembers. Faded memories. Fragmented thoughts, and experiences. Victor Von Dercht?... Is that really him? It is not. Victor Ford lived an entire life already. Twenty-two grueling years, filled with pain, and unfairness. But he understands. There was something he was looking forward to in that life. Life Online. What should have been his escape. A massive virtual reality world, a perfect mimicry of real life, as it was portrayed. An advanced age, a world with a plotline. Apocalypse, of some sort. It was explained what Apocalypse would befall the world of Earth in this game, Life Online, but that wouldn't matter anymore, he lived another life in another place now. In this Earth where cities hum with advanced technology, where corporations rule from towering skyscrapers, and powerful substances circulate through society, granting abilities that blur the line between science and superhuman power... Things begin to add up. There are people that behave strangely. The way his life repeats in subtle patterns. Newcomers appear with impossible knowledge, treating the world like nothing more than a playground. Then Victor learns the truth. He isn’t a player. He’s an NPC. In Life Online, NPCs are tools—characters written to serve the players’ stories, to guide them, fight them, or be discarded once their role is complete. Their lives are scripted. Their destinies supposedly predetermined. Code written, there stories painted. But Victor was never meant to think. He was never meant to question. And he was definitely never meant to change. As powerful players flood the world searching for influence, experimental drugs, and hidden storylines that could grant them overwhelming strength, Victor begins to recall things fully. His encounter with the entity that called itself the "Game Master". The advantages he is given. The purpose he serves. If he wants to survive in a world ruled by players, and corporations, flooded with unpredictable characters, he cannot remain a background character. He must evolve. He must break the rules written into his existence. And if the players think NPCs exist only to serve them… They are about to discover the terrifying potential of the greatest NPC in Life Online.

I don’t have a hero complex. I don’t intend to remain humble either. All I am is a Fan, of the grandeur that is Sumatra. This world has everything necessary to charm your inner child: Mountains that roll around like worms, seas that curl up like flowers, and majestic beasts that thunder your breath away. I’ve reincarnated many times on Sumatra, to protect it from external invasions while rejoicing its beauty. This time is no different. However, the current enemy is someone who has outscaled the power system. Hence, I will Regress Seven Times in an attempt to defeat the enemy. Why only seven, you ask? Because that’s all this Fan can hope to endure. Regressions come with risks and inclining baggage, after all.

Stripped of their crowns and divinity, but cursed with their memories, they are thrown into my Endless Reincarnation Game. World 1: The Modern Conglomerate. The boardroom is their new battlefield. Stocks are their arrows. Hostile takeovers are their sieges. Here, Qin Shi Huang is a ruthless COO enforcing draconian order. Cleopatra is a VP weaponizing desire to close billion-dollar deals. Caesar is a Chief Legal Officer. They fight for power. They fight for the single seat at my right hand. And this is just the beginning. From Modern Corporate Empires to Cyberpunk Wastelands, from Ancient Warring States to Interstellar Fleets... they will reincarnate, struggle, and conquer, over and over again. But I stand above every world, every timeline, every scheme. I do not follow the rules. I AM the rule. I do not compete. I do not pity. I only judge. Their fates. Their cycles. Their very souls. I decide them all. Let the dead shout. I smile.

When his father was poisoned and his tribe was wiped out overnight, the world thought the boy named Temur would disappear like dust in the wind. They were wrong. Left to starve on the frozen steppes, betrayed by allies and hunted by rival clans, Temur should have died countless times.

A mysterious interface that evaluates warriors, predicts battlefield outcomes, measures loyalty, and rewards victory with power.

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and powerful magic means status, a Guild named the Black Wolf Knights, or rather—the Black Wolves—stand wildly apart. Their acting captain, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. Though he has no magic, he has another power that defies it—along with a crew as unhinged as they are loyal and who all have their own insanely broken abilities: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps for sport. A vice captain more promising than most high-ranking mages, but only wants to spend the days cooking. A horned lunatic with a superiority complex and an obsession for her acting captain. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others off on missions or prolonged duties—each with their own unique quirks. The Black Wolves only have a single goal: to live a life as meaningless and carefree as possible. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Valley—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very Kingdom they called home. As they fight to clear their names and face an enemy that seeks to destroy everything—the Black Wolves, ironically, become the Valley’s last line of defense. And everyone's last hope.

Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice and some sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Classic slow-paced story with character development, backstories, perspectives from multiple characters, ability descriptions, intricate plot, worldbuilding, and of course tons of fighting - A long, ongoing story Author's note: This book is only available on Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, Wattpad, and featured on Chereads as well for the time being.

Fusion is a science-fantasy saga set on a living world shaped by three suns—Solara, Virel, and Nexon—whose energies govern will, identity, and transformation. At its center is Allium Bell, a being created to maintain balance between these forces. Designed as a function rather than a person, Allium begins the story detached, precise, and unsure what it means to choose. As disturbances spread across settlements—emotional flattening, identity erosion, and subtle behavioral harmony—Allium and a small group of allies investigate what initially appears to be environmental instability. What they uncover is not a single enemy, but a growing manipulation of identity itself. As ancient entities exploit the world’s systems and the power of the tri-suns, the cost of balance becomes increasingly personal. Rose, a seraphim seeking warmth and self-definition; Cassidy Firewell, a human forger shaped by loss and humor; Weaver, a creator haunted by the limits of design; and others are drawn into conflicts where force alone cannot solve what is breaking. Fusion is a slow-burn narrative that prioritizes atmosphere, character psychology, and consequence over spectacle. Threats emerge gradually—through silence, behavior, and implication—before violence ever arrives. Power is never free, growth is never clean, and victories carry lasting cost. The series explores themes of identity vs. function, choice vs. design, and the danger of systems that value balance without humanity, building toward escalating conflicts that reshape both the world and those sworn to protect it.
