A particle physicist with an eidetic memory is reincarnated into a world where magic is real. Born into the Empire’s upper nobility, Ezra Blackfyre quickly learns that power isn’t earned by talent alone—it’s negotiated through bloodlines, oaths, and brutal politics. As his family is pulled into rising conflicts and assassination games, Ezra must grow stronger fast… without becoming a pawn. Armed with modern scientific knowledge and relentless curiosity, he approaches magic like physics—testing, refining, and weaponizing it. To survive, Ezra will build technology, forge new methods of combat, and reshape his domain from the ground up—while the Empire’s great houses close in around him. --- Finally Got around to rebooting this. I have fleshed out more chapters, for those who have come across this before, yes I didn't drop this. It just really took time to organize the magic system, the world building and characters. The chapters that have been read before are mostly relevant still but there will be arcs in between the previous time skip. For those who are new, this is going to be a slow burn kingdom building novel. Please leave feedback or any comments, they are much appreciated.

Fortunately, his luck was strong enough to grant him a special talent, Infinite Reward Multiplier. With multipliers ranging from as low as 10x to as high as 1,000,000,000x, the once impossible mission slowly began to show a faint possibility of success.

Yet again, Earthlings were summoned. A dying Time God, already half-corrupted, descended upon Earth with nothing but a single, blinking eye. No body. No mercy. Before he could explain why the other world was collapsing—or what happened—he died. The chosen were cursed. Each Earthling aged from 12 to 60 was reincarnated into another world. Each was trapped in an isolated time loop. Each was abandoned without answers. Ganesh chose to reincarnate as the weakest race imaginable: a slime. Not for survival—but because the system offered him a trait, very powerful: Eternal Mastery [Mythic]. With every death, his body reset. With every loop, his masteries, learned techniques, and pain carried over. He awakened in a slime farm, where slimes were bred like cattle, harvested for food, and burned alive for amusement. He learned quickly. He died quickly. Again. And again. And again. Across loops, Ganesh experimented with his own existence— Fire Slime {Uncommon}. Water Slime {Uncommon}. Acid Slime {Uncommon}. Elemental Slime {Rare+}. Spirit Slime {Legendary}. Dragon Slime {Mythic}. Even Primordial Slime {Divine}. But strength revealed truth. Humans had erased their own history using sealed artifacts. Demons were branded as betrayers. Gods fought unholy beings elsewhere—leaving their failures behind. Beneath ruined cities and sealed fortresses, eldritch creatures waited— Rituals granted power along with a curse. Artifacts erased wills. Faith was devoured before it could bloom. And the deeper Ganesh went, the clearer it became: The world had lost hope and was corrupted with Eldritch. Even the sun and moon were taken over by Eldritch. Now, as gods fall, timelines fracture, and ancient wars resurface, Ganesh must decide— Will he save the world Or will he follow the same path… and become something unholy himself? Dark Fantasy • Time Loop • Eldritch Horror • Progression Fantasy Daily Updates A dark progression fantasy with time loops and psychological erosion (for readers who enjoyed the despair and repetition of Re:Zero). No one 17 and under admitted is due to gore and dark... And an important note, something happens near the end of Arc 3, this is for those who feel limitless loops have no tension....because he can still loop—but every reset tears his soul apart. The truth behind this wound is revealed near the end of Arc Three. {Read it to find out}

I died a virgin right after winning the lottery. Bad luck? That's my brand. So when a Grim Reaper offered me reincarnation with a gacha system for a "second chance," I should've known better than to trust my luck. I rolled... an orc. The only fat orc in my entire tribe. The dungeon's demon lord gave me three years to lose weight or die. I trained harder than anyone, became stronger than most warriors in my tribe, but my belly stayed huge. With hours left to live, I made the dumbest decision of both my lives: if I'm dying anyway, might as well lose my virginity first. [Virginity Lost! System activated!] [Obtain dungeon control upon complete subjugation] Turns out I was supposed to be a DUNGEON MASTER, not a slave warrior. And turns out I've committed the ultimate taboo: interspecies breeding, forbidden across all civilizations. Now I'm a fugitive. Humans, demons, and monsters alike want me dead. My own kind thinks I'm disgusting. I have absolutely nothing left to lose. Time to turn the worst gacha pull in history into the greatest dungeon the world has ever seen.

Zephyr was not born with a mana processor in a magic world. He was not born with any SSS+ ability or talent to process spells. No. He was just a regular guy, living a normal life... in a magic world. Even after awakening his mana core, nothing changed... that is, until he receives a gift his deceased father left behind for him... What to expect: - A magic system that draws inspiration from modern processors. -MC will be weak and confused at first. He'll take time to understand how things work, but when he fully does...? Well, I'll only say I'm not one for pointless power-gatekeeping. If nothing logically stops him from doing something, he will do it. - There will be no harem or any of that kind of stuff. There will be some romance, but it'll be very light and mostly by the way. There'll also be kingdom building later down the line. Cheers. Enjoy reading Mana Processor. xD

Verc lived a quiet, meaningless life as an office worker, counting days rather than living them. When he casually wished for excitement, the world answered with steel, headlights, and death. He awakens reborn in a pitch-black cave as something no longer human—but a vampire demon. Guided by nothing, Verc learns a simple truth of his new existence: consume, evolve, rule. By drinking the blood of others, he can steal their abilities, physical traits, and powers, growing stronger with every kill. Starting from the depths of darkness, Verc claws his way upward—hunting monsters, crushing goblins, and uncovering a brutal world ruled by strength alone. As his power grows, so does his ambition. Survival turns into domination, and domination into the rise of a new Demon King. In a world where blood is currency and mercy is weakness, Verc will carve his throne one bite at a time.

The War of Shadows For a thousand years, the elves of Eldarín have lived in radiant peace beneath the light of the Great Tree—untouchable, eternal, pure. But now, their world is unraveling. On the eastern border, patrols vanish without a trace. Cities fall to silence. And where elves once stood, only cold ash remains. Worse still, their magic—their very connection to light—is failing. Arrows blessed by ancient song shatter midair. Healing wards crumble at a glance. And the enemy they face is unlike any orc horde from legend: silent, unified, and marked with glowing runes that drink elven power like water. As fear spreads through the Five Great Cities, the kingdom must choose: cling to the purity that defined them for centuries… or reach into the shadows for a power older than memory—one that could save them… or erase them entirely. At the heart of this choice stands a warrior bound by honor, a scholar who reads truth in forgotten tongues, and a prince who dares to question everything his people hold sacred. They are not fighting just to survive. They are fighting to decide what kind of world deserves to survive. In a realm where light has always been enough, the first shadow may be the hardest to face.

He was a husband. A father. A man crushed by responsibility and quiet failure. When exhaustion finally takes him, he wakes in the body of a sickly child in another world, one disturbingly similar to his own. There are no miracles. No chosen destiny. Only hunger, cold streets, and two girls who choose to stay with him when they don’t have to. A system awakens years later, not with power, but with consequences. This is not a story about becoming strong overnight. It is about discipline, survival, and the cost of waiting too long to believe.
