egoist

I was executed in front of the entire city. Not because I was guilty. Because I was useless. Level 1. No talent. No bloodline. No backing. When the blade fell, the System finally responded. [ERROR: SUBJECT SHOULD HAVE DIED] [FORCED REGRESSION ACTIVATED] I returned to the moment everything began — but this time, the System refuses to let me die. Enemies level up faster. Allies betray sooner. And every time I escape death, the world adjusts to kill me harder. This time, I’m not chasing power. I’m racing the execution clock.

Eleven centuries after our existence, a new world has emerged. All nations now live on a single land, united under one supreme god in absolute supremacy. But is this truly a perfect world? If we are all equals, then why do superior races still exist, while others are cast aside as societal waste? Divided by golden domes, each person dreams of becoming a “Perfect”, a being purified of all emotions and perfectly sane, a being stripped of feelings in pursuit of eternal life. But at what cost? That is why they were born... The "Tracks Emotional", beings who possess only a single, pure emotion, were created to destroy all threats that transcend the nature of our world. From corrupted emotions arise the “Transemotional”, born mostly from the Fosse, and driven by unstable genetics or devouring feelings. They transform into massive, uncontrollable shadows that relentlessly attack the domes. All they have are their dreams.

At sixteen, Richard Nicola Martin wakes each morning knowing this life is not his first. Once, he lived an ordinary existence that ended far too soon. Now, he has been granted a second chance—reborn as the son of a world-renowned actress whose name dazzles across marquees and magazines, and a strange, distant father he has never truly met. Raised beneath studio lights and whispered rumors, Richard grows up caught between glamour and loneliness, fame and anonymity, always sensing that the world around him is only half the truth. On a quiet morning in the wee hours before dawn, everything changes. A letter arrives—unmarked, elegant, and unmistakably impossible. It is an invitation to Divine Academy, an institution that does not exist on any map, meant only for children touched by something far older and greater than celebrity or wealth. There, Richard learns that the world he thought he understood is merely a surface—beneath it lies a hidden order of beings, legacies, and powers woven into humanity since the beginning of time. Caught between two worlds—showbiz and secrecy, humanity and the divine—Richard must decide what it means to live fully when destiny refuses to remain silent. Love, ambition, and youth pull him forward, while ancient forces shape his path from the shadows. This time, Richard Nicola Martin intends not just to live again—but to live completely, even if the truth behind his rebirth changes everything he believes about life, death, and the gods who walk unseen among men.

It was February 4th, 2040. Humanity’s strongest rankers gathered for the final conquest. The final conquest only had one goal: to defeat the final boss of the Tower of Ragnarok and conquer the final floor. Led by the Three Great Guilds, the conquest from the 73rd floor until the 100th floor was successful. Although many perished on climb towards the top, everyone believed that it was for a good and noble cause—once the Tower was finally cleared, humanity would be able reclaim their home once more. Then, the moment finally came. The final boss was defeated. But... “Ragnarok Tutorial cleared.” At that moment, everyone that survived until the end received a notification from their system. Including me, Zold Starks, a D-rank Ranker. “Congratulations.” “Humanity has proven itself worthy of the real Ragnarok Tower.” “Remaining survivors will be granted the privilege to choose one ability, talent, and technique to carry over in the Global Regression.” “Furthermore, survivors’ rewards will vary based on their contribution to clearing the Ragnarok Tower tutorial.” “In 30 seconds, the Global Regression would begin...” I’m sure it wasn’t just me who was thinking the system suddenly went crazy. But before everyone could comprehend what was happening, the tower crumbled away. And I, Zold Starks, a masocore/hardcore gamer was back to the day where it all started! *** “Every floor seems to be harder now...?” In the tutorial, every floor was cleared through either brute force, overwhelming magic, or the simplest strategies. This made me, someone that only knew to exploit weaknesses and loopholes, far behind others, But now... “Isn’t this perfect for me?” While the Three Legendary Guilds, and the strongest rankers struggle to adapt, with my experience in hardcore games—I climbed the insurmountable extremely difficult Ragnarok Tower! The Legend of the Hardcore Ranker begins! === Also known as "Hardcore Ranker Only Has One Life", or "The Legend of the Hardcore Ranker". First and foremost, this is a epic power fantasy story--lots of fighting and plot twists. Second, its a romance harem. Third, anything goes.

There are some things that everyone knows. Team Rocket is evil beyond belief, and their boss Giovanni is even worse. The man have ordered his team to make use of the fragment of Mew's DNA they have found in the dense jungle. With that Team Rocket get into possesion of a living weapon. Most powerful Pokemon in the entire world. Mewtwo. What no one knows is the fact that Mewtwo wasn't mindless. It learns. Grows. Adapts. And finally realizes there's some ability its creator won't let it have. Form changning. Thanks to that Mewtwo finally breaks out of the laboratory and manages to escape. Which would be a great news but something must have gone wrong. Giovanni spot its while changing forms. And most importantly the man's corpse weren't found. It means there's only one way Metwo could ensure its own safety - by getting rid off Giovanni once for all. So here comes the main problem. How to do that? It's hard (to say the least) to even track a man who ruled the most powerful organisation in the underworld. Not to mention he most likely has a contacts all around the 'upper' world. And that's why Mewtwo came up with ridiculous plan. To gather every legendary from five regions most close to Kanto and unite them against Giovanni. Is it stupid? Yeah, surely. But the alternative is returning to Team Rocket and letting Giovanni rule the whole world. Mewtwo can't allow this to happen! After all it wouldn't like to share. AN: Hi! Due to some life circumstances I quit writing for about 7 years. Used to like it a lot and tries to return. This fan-fiction is a 'returnee' to it, so do not have high expectations. Writing could be bad as hell (or the Distortion Worlds for geeks). updates would appear as I update (tldr randomly) and at some point I may just cancel this. Despite that (even if only for now) - have fun! Some chapters may contain TW, mostly brief desripction of violence (let's be honest the main character isn't the most paceful one). I'll make sure to point it at the beggining of every chapters where it appears. Also try to not write much of them - after all this novel is for general audience. EDIT: Considering many TW chapters I decide to change it to parents strongly cautioned

Shorter synopsis (for the lazy readers) Vastro was once the absolute apex of the Eight Realms, a being so powerful that logic itself bent around him. A usurper whose idea of fun usually ended in devastating chaos. They tried to kill him. They almost succeeded. Betrayed by his closest ally, Vastro died and woke up at the Gates of Hell. Instead of despair, he chose speed. Clearing the hundred Gates of Hell, he became a forbidden existence. Hellbound. Granted early reincarnation and armed with hell-forged power, Vastro rushed back to life for one reason only. Revenge. Unfortunately, something went wrong. Instead of returning as a god, he was reborn as a fragile human baby in the lowest realm. The Mortal Realm. Cursed or not, it did not matter. Power was only delayed, not denied. He will rise again. Faster. Stronger. More ruthless than before. As long as he survives long enough to learn how to walk. --------------- Longer synopsis for those who love trailer like synopsis. Hellbound Vastro was once the greatest existence across the vast Eight Realms. A being so far beyond logic that the very idea of power bent around him. Absolute was not a goal. It was his default state. A usurper of absurd authority, Vastro had only one true hobby. Causing fun. Unfortunately for everyone else, his idea of fun usually looked like catastrophic chaos and ruined civilizations. Naturally, the other usurpers decided he was a problem. They gathered. Dozens of them. Beings of unimaginable might. Legends that ruled eras. And Vastro only smiled, fully confident that he would win. He would have. If his best friend had not driven a sword straight through his chest. Betrayed. Slain. Erased. Or so they thought. When consciousness returned, Vastro found himself standing before the Gates of Hell. How his soul survived made no sense. But honestly, who cared. What mattered was this. He wanted revenge. Immediately. No mourning. No reflection. No tragic speeches. Revenge delayed was revenge wasted. So he entered the Hell Trial and tore through all one hundred Gates of Hell, earning a title no being should ever possess. Hellbound. A forbidden existence. As reward, he was granted early reincarnation and Vastro took it without hesitation. His vengeance would not be slow. It would be fast, violent, and served scorching hot. Armed with hell-forged abilities, forbidden perks, and power meant to break worlds, Vastro was certain his rise would be unstoppable. Swift. Absolute. Then reality slapped him. Instead of reincarnating into glory, he was reborn as a human. Not a king. Not a God A baby. A fragile, screaming, lowest-tier existence in the Mortal Realm. For the first time in eternity, Vastro felt cursed. Still, he did not panic. Why should he. Primordial or mortal, god or infant, the result would be the same. He would rise. Stronger. Faster. More violently than before. With countless quests, disasters, and blood-soaked adventures ahead, Vastro would reclaim everything he lost. He would become the unstoppable tyrant he once was. Assuming, of course, he did not die before learning how to walk.

In a world ruled by supernatural abilities known as Quirks, Suzuki Saito awakens in the body of a ten-year-old child… completely powerless. Not a chosen hero. Not the bearer of a delayed miracle. Just an ordinary human thrown six years before the beginning of My Hero Academia, in an era that shows no mercy to the weak. Inside a small room filled with heavy silence, living with a kind grandmother who fears the world of heroes after losing both her husband and son, Saito comes to understand a cruel truth: This body failed once before—because it tried to become a hero through brute force… and paid for it with its life. The new Saito has no Midoriya-like illusions, nor Bakugo’s reckless aggression. He is a twenty-eight-year-old man in mindset, a former office worker who understands risk, values life, and refuses to live in fear. Rather than waiting for a miracle that will never come, he makes a different decision: If he cannot become a hero through overwhelming power, then he will become one through intelligence, planning, and preparation—a “gear” that prevents disaster before it begins. Six years stand between him and U.A. High School. Six years of training, studying, and analysis. He has no room for mistakes… because in this world, mistakes mean death. And so, a new chapter begins— not with dazzling power, but with stubborn human will, in a world that believes only in strength. Author’s Note: For every 10 Power Stones you add, you will receive an extra chapter, friends!

Across countless Universes, through endless Multiverses, past the towering Omniverse and into the silent Void Expanse, there exists a place no being has ever reached. A place older than creation itself. A place even gods refuse to speak of. The True Outside. And sitting at its deepest edge is a throne — a throne no one has ever touched… because no one has ever been worthy. Until he arrived. He has no origin. No destiny. No chains. His name is Void — and he does not rise through realms… realms rise beneath him. A System awakens within him, but it cannot guide him. Laws try to bind him, but they cannot define him. He does not chase power — power reshapes itself to survive his presence. Elders kneel. Gods shatter. Omniversal beings fall silent. Void walks with the arrogance of someone who already knows the truth: The throne beyond the veil was never lost. It was waiting for him. This is a dark fantasy with a ruthless protagonist. Read at your discretion. Disclaimer: The early chapters (Chapters 1–11) are written mainly for fun and setup. The true depth of the story, its darker themes, and the main plot begin unfolding from Chapter 12 onward. Please read patiently.

In a world divided by a jagged border, the rules are simple: Humans serve the Emperor and his Ten Great Commandments, while Demons bow to the eternal Demon King. For centuries, the two realms have been locked in a "chess match" of resources and blood, where the common folk are mere pawns and the rulers are immortal. But the status quo is built on a lie of "Purity." When a human raiding party uses a forbidden Zenith-Rank relic to kidnap a hundred demons for experimentation, they intend to create the ultimate weapon. Instead, they create a nightmare. Alaric, a sixty-year-old Vampire prince with the appearance of a teenager and the pride of a god, survives sixteen days of agonizing torture. On the sixteenth day, a single drop of human blood falls into his cell, sparking a massacre that stained the "Hollow Needle" fortress crimson. Escaping with six other survivors—each a different race, each a victim of a different horror—Alaric breaks the ultimate demonic taboo. He chooses brotherhood over bloodline. Now, the Seven Deadly Sins have returned to the Demon Realm. Hunted by the 100 Commandments of humanity and shunned as "defiled outcasts" by their own kin, they must forge a new path. They will not be the Demon King's soldiers. They will not be the Emperor's specimens. They are the Vessels of Ruin, and they have come to shatter the relics that keep the world in chains. "The humans took sixteen days of our lives. We will take sixteen centuries of theirs."

Warning: Contains heavy R-18 smut, a shameless Trash MC, corruption, Netori (stealing the other hero’s girl), and lethal amounts of fluid-based magic. Kaizen was 99% of the way through a legendary three-hour gooning session when he was rudely summoned to another world. Standing naked on the holy altar, blue-balled and furious, he discovers a unique mechanic: his "unreleased frustration" counts as infinite Holy Light mana. Now, the Kingdom is in chaos. The "Good Hero" Arthur is blind and crippled (Kaizen’s fault). The "Real Hero" is dead in a ditch (Kaizen stole his potion). That leaves only Kaizen—a lazy, manipulative, trash-tier human being who killed an assassin with a tactical pelvic thrust. The demons are coming, and they are only weak to Light. But Kaizen refuses to lift a finger unless he gets something in return. If the noble Princess Seraphina wants to save her people, she’s going to have to help the Hero "reload his weapon" manually.
