Seven centuries ago, the Saintess Cecilia saved the world by killing the man she loved—Rain, a prodigy whose shadow-born power threatened the divine order itself. His death sealed the First Cycle. He awakens again in the current age, reborn as a powerless “F-rank pretty boy” with no history, no registration, and no proof he ever existed. Beneath the fragile mask he wears, the same abyssal shadows coil and whisper, remembering every betrayal. His return triggers the Outer District Purge, an event where rejects and criminals are thrown into a ghoul-infested zone as disposable offerings. Rain enters quietly, intending only to observe this era’s cruelty. Instead, he walks through a slaughterhouse. • 53 enter the district • 52 should die • 1 should live Rain breaks the rule. As he moves through the carnage, shadows peel from the fallen and obey his silent call. In minutes, the district becomes a graveyard sculpted by darkness. Among the last survivors stands a young girl in a white cloak—the newest Saintess, bearing Cecilia’s face seven hundred years earlier than expected. She recognizes nothing of him, yet her soul stirs with a familiarity that should be impossible. To protect his identity, Rain pretends to be weak, helpless, terrified. The perfect prey. The perfect lie. When deserters attempt to kill the survivors, the world goes black. Two bodies fall. Two new shadows kneel. Cecilia senses power where none should exist. Rain answers with trembling innocence. He asks her to protect him. She agrees. By dawn, only four survivors walk through the inner gate. The soldiers log a miracle. No one questions the missing corpse or the silent ring of graves left behind. Rain follows Cecilia into the holy city—wearing her cloak, breathing her lilies, and hiding an empty grave that belongs to someone very specific. The past is looping again. The Saintess has awakened early. The altar’s prophecy has already shifted. And the man with no name intends to rewrite the cycle— starting with the girl who killed him.

I was reborn— with ten years of apocalypse carved into my bones and every betrayal seared into my soul. This time, I came back one full year before the end. And I awakened something that should never exist: an Infinite Storage Space… and a Leveling System that lets me grow stronger, craft weapons, and evolve like a player in a real-life game. In my past life, I was hunted, betrayed, and played for a fool. Not anymore. In this life— no one will ever deceive me, use me, or stand above me again. Before the world collapses, I will hoard resources, build my power, seize wealth, and claim the beauties I didn’t dare touch in my previous life. When the demons arrive, I won’t be hiding behind walls. I’ll be on the front line— ascending, fighting, conquering— becoming the “god” humanity desperately needs. I will surpass every evolved powerhouse from my past. I will shatter mountains, rip open the sky, and break fate itself. The apocalypse is coming. But this time— I’m not here to survive it. I’m here to dominate it.

In a morgue filled with the bodies of Uchiha clan members, he opened his eyes... A mysterious voice echoed in his ears... With a bewildered expression, he muttered, "Save the Shinobi world? What does that have to do with me, a mere Uchiha survivor?" ---This is a translation--- Original author: 空想之龙 I do not own the cover image.

Jirei Lago, the protagonist, thinks that if he becomes a hero and defeats the Demon King in order to become the king, he can spend his days in laziness. When he found out that's not the case, he abruptly gave up his hero and king dreams to live lazily. However, the girls have ulterior motives.

Humanity collapsed in a single night. When the sky darkened and a perpetual night arrived, even the strongest monsters turned feral, tearing through cities until nothing was left but ruin. Dying alone in the ruined world, Ryn Eden Arctis finally understood the truth. Years ago, he was given a strange skillbook—one the church labeled taboo, one no one dared to touch. But the world had taken it away from him. However, he knew that—whatever was inside it, had to be powerful enough for him to stop this calamity. His final regret echoed through the silent wasteland: “If I had learned that damn book, we’d still be alive.” With his dying breath, he wished for only one thing: To go back in time and claim that forbidden power, no matter what. A single star answered. Ryn opens his eyes ten years earlier, on the day he received his first skill. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Korean Regressor Fantasy, if you like that genre this might be the one for you. Think (Trash of the Count's Family, Swordmaster's Youngest Son, FFF-Class Trash Hero) - Romance subplot is prevalent. This is not a harem novel! - MC is NOT naive, and will NOT be afraid to make morally gray choices! Readers advised!

The realms of Tovoran stand on the edge of civil war. But when a foreign warlord and his fanatical army descend upon the fractured kingdoms, the coming conflict threatens to consume them all.

Abigail’s only crime in life was being born as the mute daughter of the deceptive maid, who drugged her boss and got pregnant for him… or so she thought. All her life she had to serve her stepsister, Genevieve, attending to her every whim. While Genevieve used every opportunity she got to make Abigail’s life hell, even to the point of seducing Abigail’s boyfriend. On the night she resumes college, Abigail crosses path with Jamal Jonas, a heartbroken elusive billionaire, who leaves behind a stuffed animal that belonged to his first love. Abigail keeps the stuffed animal, which stirs her long lost memories. Five years later, Jamal shows up again, but this time as Genevieve's new live-in driver. Working for Genevieve quickly places him near the supposedly mute and intelligent Abigail who he doesn’t immediately recognize, and soon enough, Jamal finds himself pulled in by Abigail's charms. Jamal quickly realizes there is more to her than meets the eye, and there might be more connecting Abigail to his first love than Genevieve.

Coming back from the magic world, Riya rebuked her shameless stepmother. She was back to her first life with the world treasure and thought that her life would be smooth sailing. But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ??? Ah, Riya silently swore to secretly become stronger to deal with these magic beasts that went on rampage. She would use her runes to make a better life while watching the world recover from the destruction. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. Her best friend’s brother suddenly locked his attention on her. “Ah, ah, ah, you don't have to mind me….” “The runes you make are really interesting. Can you show me more?” The man smiled and stepped closer. “I…I can, but can you please not come too close?!” Riya just wanted to meditate silently, so how did she suddenly attract this big boss’s attention? ...

A Riser Phenex that is competent. A reincarnator who knows DXD only from fanfics. Chaos ensues. “When in Rome, do as the Romans. When in Hell, do as the demons. And when they’re as hot as hell itself, maybe do them too~” Not an AI book. Not a translation. Also because I have been getting a few three star reviews saying 'MC is gay' and that is 'too much love showed to male friends' consider, would you console your male friend at his parents funeral with a hug and a pat on the back? No? Is that too gay for you? Sheesh! I know this MC isn't conquering women like picking flowers and he isn't a horny sex beast at age 10 (not hit puberty yet) but that does not mean he is gay! I wanted to show platonic, healthy male friendships, but I guess putting harem in the tags makes people misunderstand. So here : Yes, he has a female only harem. No, he is not gay. Yes, Yubelluna will be part of the harem but she will not be part of the peerage, not his peerage at least. She will be put in Ravel's peerage, cuz she's smokin' hot but does not have Satan Class potential. Mc's peerage has almost all members be those who can reach Satan Class power by their teens, which means yes, MC's peerage is 10 guys and 6 girls. Its not an all girl peerage. No one said the peerage had to be the harem too. Mc can have more wives and girlfriends outside the peerage too. Hope that clears it up for new readers. This is a political and action thriller. Mostly wholesome. Sometimes evil MC. What to expect : 1. Cunning, ruthless, & cautious MC. 2. Harem (of convenience). 3. In depth exploration and expansion of DXD worldbuilding, magic system, and character arcs. 4. Rias Gremory may be a love interest, but she will not be the butt of the joke all the time. Only sometimes. 5. 4D chess with multiversal (not) time travel. 6. MC fucking up sometimes because he knows DXD only from fanfics. Fanon is not canon, ladies and laddies. 7. MC being a filthy cheater, speedrunning, jailbreaking, min-maxxing DND style power gamer (No, there is no system, this is NOT a system novel). He will find and exploit every loophole, every trick up his sleeve. And your sleeve. Not that sleeve, you perv~ 8. Only canon power sources though, no ass pull secret Mary Sue style power ups etc. 9. MC will start weak, work hard to be strong, but he will hide his power level until he is strong enough.

The sins of man had been cleansed off the surface of the Earth, thrown into a different world to manifest into a realm of unmistakable evil, malevolence and certain death... That was what the regular humans thought. Those bestowed with the keys to enter this desecrated realm, knew there was more to it. It was a realm of countless realities, possibilities, laws and stories. And each time the bestowed, the Prophets step into this Realm, they would experience fables and transmigrate into brand new worlds, to conquer these stories, so that the bad ones don't manifest on Earth.

For you see, although humans were made from clay, he was created from countless CURSES.

Lu Lin had transmigrated to a cultivation world, yet the sad thing was that he had no spiritual root, unable to cultivate, and could only practice martial arts. But a martial arts practitioner was as lowly as an ant here, serving as no more than a cultivator’s tool and cannon fodder. Their Qi and Blood(vitality), tempered body, and combat skills seemed to cultivators’ spiritual energy, spells, and magical weapons a flimsy sheet of paper. Fortunately, he had awakened with the Martial Dao Furnace, which could transform spiritual energy into time spent training. Should a year’s time fail, then two years. Should two years fail, then a decade. Should a decade fail, then a century, or a millennium?
