egoist

One quiet day, eleven people vanished — no one knows how or why. One of them was Shin Takawa — a lazy genius, a pervert, and someone who never really tried… until the very end. When he opens his eyes again, he’s no longer in his world. Now, he’s Ryan Nightveil — a boy born into a world ruled by caste, race, and ancient bloodlines. A world where every person is born with one special trait… But Ryan? He has something he shouldn’t. Everyone calls it forbidden. He calls it his only chance. In a society that wants him erased, Ryan must survive, adapt, and grow — not for revenge, not for fame, but to protect the few who truly matter. And as he rises… the world will learn: monsters aren’t born. They’re forced to exist.

"During the Age of Blades, the day when a moon appears, hovering in the sky, so far yet so close, weeping with one singular eye, one is tasked with gathering all of the Blades of Mantra.

These are the tales it is based upon. A Tale of Blades and Wishes.

In a remote jungle nestled between Chu City and Whitewater City within the Da Xuan Country, a thin and frail figure was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Both of his legs were spread apart in a relaxed manner. This figure belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.

Waking up without warning in the middle of nowhere. No memory of what happened. You find yourself in an unfamiliar world, with its own customs, morals, and ways of life. How do you survive when you have nothing? How far would you go to stay alive? Would you be willing to sell or buy the unthinkable? Would you compromise your morals just to survive? What would you do if everything you thought you knew about yourself and your limits was put to the test?

Long ago, there was a man who stood above all realms. He wasn’t just strong—he was invincible. Demons, gods, immortals… he killed them all. Why? Because they destroyed everything he loved. He reached the Infinite Realm, a realm so high that even the heavens couldn’t touch him. But after endless killing, endless blood… he was tired. Tired of pain. Tired of death. Tired of his own killing intent, which had become so terrifying, even nature feared him. So he left. He built a small wooden hut on a lonely mountain, far above the mortal world, and vanished. He meditated. He breathed. He tried to control the monster inside him. People began to call him “The Hermit Sage.” Years passed. One day, a simple and curious young girl—daughter of the richest merchant—climbed the mountain. At first, she feared him. His presence was cold like winter, and his eyes were filled with death. But slowly… she realized—this man was gentle. He wasn’t a demon. He was a man who had forgotten how to live. When danger came to her family, she asked him for help. He said one thing: “I will not follow anyone. I only do what I want.” And then... the Limitless Sage returned to the mortal world. Not to kill. But to protect. To guide. To change. But the world was not ready. Without creating a sect, without power-hungry clans or rules, he began teaching lost disciples. He built nothing—but the world changed around him. The greedy feared him. The innocent worshipped him. And the sky itself? Trembled again. Because the man who once slayed heaven… Had returned.

In the world of Aetheria, there is one name that is feared by all. Yet, he is known more for his title, the Demon General. Whether it’s Gods or Demons, no beings dare to oppose his authority. He ruled Aetheria with an iron hand. Cities are destroyed on his whim. Countries are razed at his displeasure. This is the tale of his rise to power. This is the tale of his rise to Godhood. This is the tale of the rise of the Demon General.

When a proud young king demands his death mask before his reign begins, a legendary sculptor carves a face that exposes the tyrant he will become—unmasking the terrifying truth that power reveals itself before it is earned.

Born without power in a world ruled by cultivation, Xuan Long was the first prince of the Eternal Flame Empire — kind, thoughtful, and cherished only by his family. Yet to the outside world, he was nothing but a disgrace. A “trash prince.” A royal failure. But love kept him grounded — until everything was taken from him in one brutal night. Betrayed by his own blood, his empire burned to ashes. His mother, father, brothers, and precious little sister were murdered before his eyes. Crushed, broken, and thrown into the cursed Lower Realm, Xuan Long was left for dead. For three days, he lay in the dirt — lifeless, soulless, forgotten. Then came the voice. “Invincible Revenge System activated.” “User recognized: Xuan Long.” In that moment, the powerless prince died… And something far more dangerous took his place. Armed with the ability to devour, reflect, and annihilate, Xuan Long begins his silent ascent — not for justice… …but for revenge. He will rise from the filth. He will shatter the heavens. He will return to the world that betrayed him — not as a prince… …but as a demon the world cannot contain.

Eric was a young man whom life had not treated well. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. One day, while riding his motorbike, he suffered a sudden epileptic seizure. Fate decided to take his life. For Eric, it was as if he was asleep. The next second, he woke up in another world full of wonders and horrors.

Two souls. One body. One chance to survive. Kael Morren died. So did Amira Solem. But instead of staying dead, they woke up in the same body chosen by a mysterious game-like system called REQUIEM. This system gives them power through combat. Each fight earns them points. Each kill makes them stronger. Quests appear. Stats go up. Skills unlock. But there’s a catch. Kael and Amira must share the same body, taking turns in control. And as their memories start to mix, it gets harder to tell who’s who. They’re not alone. Other Requiem users are out there. They are stronger, faster, and willing to kill to level up. To survive, Kael and Amira have to work together. Because in this world, death isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning.

Life, at times, can be quite unpredictable. But who could have thought it would be to this extent? It's unlikely that any sane person would imagine that in a single day, fate would grant them the chance to witness the end of one world and the opportunity to save another. But is that what our main character truly wants? That is an entirely different question... ___________ Gain early access to new chapters and support my work on Patreon: patreon.com/nitwish It's a tale of my attempts to go off the rails of canon and write something distinctly different from it, though I only managed to diverge more or less by the 21st chapter. Some arcs will be reworked, some will remain unchanged, and some will be completely rewritten or cut out. However, the overall plot is unlikely to change. In places, I will alter things for my own convenience. Also, the world's "system" will be severely trimmed down, as I'm not a fan of systems and all those numbers. Something like that.

She breaks all the rules. When the professional assassin Xavier Valentine died, he caught the attention of Calypso, the Goddess of Reincarnation who turned death into her personal gameshow.

The prestigious Catalyst Academy needs them to stop causing chaos for five minutes. They're probably going to disappoint everyone. In a world where dungeons hold divine secrets and ancient gates lead to untold power, one thing is certain: This goddess isn't letting her favorite soul leave her alone.

His family is weirder than most, and heroes are the real deal. His personal philosophy is that he's gotta step up, or get stepped on, and he doesn't mind stepping on others from time to time if it gets him what he wants. (AU) (I own nothing!)
