Fake Death

He did not care if the prayer stole precious seconds from the timer. Between speaking to God and the damnation the system promised at zero, there was no question which came first. “Dear Lord,” he murmured, “Ye who see all hearts and weigh all sins… hear me now as I stand at the threshold of damnation. What I am about to do is cruel and unforgiving. A stain no river may wash from my hands. Yet, if this evil must be borne so that greater horrors may perish, let that burden fall upon me. “I know the gates of Hell stand open before my feet, and should this act be the step that leads me through them… so be it. Let history curse my name—if by my damnation, others are spared. “But Lord…” he continued quietly, “when the trumpets sound in the final days, when the dead rise and judgment cometh upon all souls, I ask only this of You: do not forget that I once wept for what I became. Do not forget that I hated the necessity of my hands. Don't forget that though I walked willingly into darkness, I did so that others may remain in the light. And if mercy exists even for the damned… then let me be counted among those shown pity. “For the sins I commit in Your name, for the evil I embrace in pursuit of a righteous end, and for the soul I surrender this night… I beg Your forgiveness.” He lifted his gaze and fixed Vir Ossium a death stare. “... Amen.” —————————————— Kael was just an ordinary guy—until the night he died. But instead of staying dead, he is thrown into a brutal death game. The rule is simple: Be the last Kamen Rider standing... by any means necessary.

Arthur Pendelton and Lyra Vance are troubled teens who escape their strict boarding school through a giant wardrobe, only to fall into Eldoria. This is no fairy tale. It is a brutal, racist world where Arthur is immediately attacked by a shadow monster. On the brink of death, a sarcastic LitRPG system awakens in his vision to keep him alive. Saved by a foul-mouthed, drunk weasel named Bramble, they are dragged to Ignis Academy. There, they befriend a cowardly boy named Finn and a cynical elf prince named Kaelen. However, corrupt academy elites betray them, opening the gates for the dark entity Malakor. During the slaughter, Finn dies a brutal death to save Lyra. The tragedy completely shatters Arthur's innocence. His system disables his moral limits, turning him into a cold-blooded predator out for revenge. The group sets out to hunt the Shards of Dawn, ancient crystals meant to summon a savior god. Their bloody journey forces them to fight dwarf cartels, survive mind-bending swamps, and orchestrate political assassinations. But after barely surviving a massive war, they uncover a sickening truth. The savior god is actually a psychopathic tyrant who loves committing mass genocide. Refusing to choose between two evil gods, the group launches a suicide assault on Malakor's fortress. While Kaelen and Bramble hold off millions of shadow troops, Arthur and Lyra climb Mount Zenith. Facing Malakor, Arthur makes an insane choice. He shatters the Shard with his bare hands, absorbs its raw energy, and sacrifices his own sanity to brutally tear the dark god apart from the inside. With Eldoria finally at peace, Arthur and Lyra step back through the portal. They return to Earth at the exact second they left, looking like ordinary students but hiding the dark souls of ruthless predators.

[!]: SYSTEM START: Ancestral Resonance Cultivation Ascension Nexus (ARCAN) [!]: Genre: [Hunter System] x [Weak-to-Strong] x [Cultivation] [!]: Objective: Survive the Gate. Sow the Seeds. Build the Empire. --- Rome D'Angelo is a One-Star Hunter with twenty-one essence points, thirty thousand dollars in debt, and a survival instinct that borders on suicidal. His life is a simple, three-step cycle: 1. Fight monsters far above his pay grade to keep the lights on. 2. Nearly die in the process. 3. Get patched up by Kiona Tsukimori, a Three-Star healer way too talented to be wasting her mana on him. She thinks he’s an idiot with a death wish. He thinks she’s the most beautiful woman who’s ever yelled at him. It’s a match made in whatever circle of hell spits out One-Star dungeons. But when a routine raid turns into a Double Dungeon slaughter, Rome makes the ultimate gamble: he sacrifices his arm to ensure Kiona’s escape. He expected death. Instead, he got a voice in his head. [ SYSTEM INITIALIZED. CLASS: SOWER ] Rome has awakened a power that defies the laws of the Hunter world. He doesn’t just level up by hoarding strength; he ascends by cultivating it in others. The catch? His growth is tied to forging deep bonds with "S.E.E.D.S"— people with latent, world-shattering potential. And his first compatible target is the very healer who just watched him die. Now, every date is a quest, every touch is cultivation, and every shared heartbeat brings them closer to godhood. Rome just wanted to pay his sister’s tuition. Now he has to survive monsters, guild politics, and a harem of dangerous women who might just be the death—or the making—of him.
