From the typical fantasy hero wielding a sword and shield to a cyberpunk warrior from a futuristic metropolis. From a vicious underworld monster to a literal messenger of God. Matthew Nash has complete control over who fights in his show. The possibilities are limitless. There's nothing special about him initially. He's just an average young man who enjoys professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. Aside from watching them, he is obsessed with all types of management mode from those show's games. Handling the show budget or selecting fighters and wrestlers is more fascinating to him than controlling a character to beat opponents. After he was transmigrated to another realm, a foreign entity assigned him to put on a show that focused on the fighters from many worlds. He must be able to amuse the gods and their servants across the multiverse. What kind of spectacles will he put on? Can he beat other shows that already have big names?

The System's Last Architect In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by the System's sudden arrival, Dante Reyes has nothing left. A disgraced engineer whose career collapsed in betrayal, he now works as a night-shift guard in a decaying urban wasteland, surviving on spite and routine. But the System doesn't forget anyone. When Dante survives a dungeon encounter that should have killed him, he discovers his hidden Class: the Architect Protocol—a Golden Finger ability that lets him see the world as a structural blueprint. He can identify weaknesses, build permanent Sanctuaries, and craft custom abilities that no other User can access. In a survival game where every mistake is fatal, Dante's power makes him the most dangerous player in the game. But the System has rules—and Dante is a bug that must be corrected. The Foreman, a Dungeon Master AI, marks him for elimination. An enemy User hunts him through the city's ruins. And the only ally who offers help, a mysterious woman with her own agenda, might be more dangerous than the monsters. Then Dante discovers the truth: his younger sister Valerie, presumed dead in the System's arrival, is still alive—trapped in a Pocket Zone that only an Architect can access. Now Dante must level up, build an empire, and gather allies he can't trust. In a world of hate-to-love dynamics, revenge against the System, and kingdom building in the ruins, one man must become the Architect of humanity's survival. The System has rules. He rewrites them.

When he opened his eyes he found himself in the world of the game, he created himself. Except, in a talent-less villain's body, Neo. Witness, the journey of a low-rank villain to the peak of the world...

In exchange for his eternal submission to the system's conditions, the system offers him a chance at a new and more fulfilling life.

He would be assigned difficult missions and put through impossible trials there, which would later be revealed to be a path to greater life and immortality. ******* This is a system novel set in medieval times with mythical characters and situations. It is NOT a harem, and there are very few sexually explicit scenes. My world building and character development aren't the best, but they will improve with time. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please consider supporting, reviewing, commenting, and following. Have a good time!
