Modern

Humanity in the modern era considers itself highly advanced, with remarkable technology and sufficient wisdom. However, what about those who came before, those who preceded humanity, who erected colossal towers, hid themselves within the mists of history, and now watch over humanity from beyond the vast cosmos? ________________ Rin, a web novel author, mysteriously finds himself inside his own story, inhabiting the body of its protagonist on the Night of Khalthu'ra, the very night the story was supposed to begin. But, he has forgotten what was supposed to happen that night. Worse, he has forgotten a large part of his own story. Follow Rin as he searches for his lost memories, uncovers the truth behind his world, and tries to escape from the novel he created. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes a terrifying truth: This world hides far too many secrets he has forgotten, and each one is more dangerous than the last. Fortunately, he has a system to guide him.

When an entire classroom is summoned to the Radiant Empire to become the world’s saviors, Evander expects a grand adventure. Instead, he is granted a seemingly useless, zero-mana support class: [Abyssal Coordinator]. Deemed a waste of resources by the corrupt royalty, Evander is stripped of his gear and thrown into the bottomless Abyssal Chasm to die. But the chasm is a gateway. Deep in the Underworld, a desperate and newly crowned Demon Queen, Vespera, is performing a forbidden ritual to summon a world-destroying Calamity Beast to save her collapsing realm. Instead of a monster, Evander crashes onto her altar. Due to a glitch in the magic circle and his unique class, a soul-link is forged between them. To survive the suspicious demon generals who expect an omnipotent tyrant, Evander must use his modern wits and unique system skills to act as the mastermind behind Vespera's throne. Meanwhile, using a remote avatar, he infiltrates the surface world to dismantle the "heroes" who betrayed him. He isn't just surviving; he’s playing both sides of an empire-spanning war.

O Bored Prowler of the white pages stained in dark ink. Do ye tire and lose interest in the scrolls of endless writers that tell the dry tales of Systems?

If that be the case, hearken unto me, O Prowler! Let me appeal to thy desire for adventure and darkness, bringing thee into the world of LEASTRIA, where ye shall follow the story of foul men born from distorted shadow! Where selfish Stars toy with fate from their Odd Demesnes!

Where ye shall follow the story of the Cursed Child as he seeks ‘The Bringing’ and rises from meagrehood to significance under thy eyes. Hearken unto my voice and begin this tale, if ye fear not to prowl in Mythology. Do ye dare, O Prowler, to be lost in true Fantasy? ---------------- I will be posting this story on Royal Road under the name Shade Arjuun

He's now Lucian Everstar, the sixth prince of the Valerian Empire, a realm where power is everything and weakness is a death sentence. His body is frail. His family wants him gone. And when he tries to open his eyes to see his new world, he sees nothing at all. He is completely, irreversibly blind.

Survival seems impossible. Then the system chimes. [Transmigration perk: Due to the Old Lucian being blind, you have received a Primordial gift.

Now Lucian must navigate a world of monsters, politics, and assassins—all while hiding the fact that he can see more than anyone in the empire.

In a modern world draped in the illusion of normalcy, secrets crawl beneath the surface. Cities bustle with unaware citizens, blind to the existence of the gifted, warriors, healers, mages, and monster hunters, born to protect a fragile balance between reality and chaos. Among them lies one boy, invisible to destiny… until destiny calls his name. Ridiculed, discarded, and cast aside, 17-year-old Kael Ardyn is a nobody with no spark of magic or strength. But when he saves an old beggar from thugs, Kael is taken in by the man, who reveals himself to be a forgotten legend of the ancient world. Under his brutal mentorship, Kael is reshaped, body and soul, into something the world has never seen: a martial-arts prodigy with forbidden medical mastery. As monsters tear through cities, noble families scheme, and powerful organizations hunt the reborn legend, Kael finds himself at the center of a hidden war, a war he might just be born to end. But power comes with a price. Can he uncover his true lineage before it consumes him? Or is he merely a pawn in a game older than time?

Kael Ardyn was the most powerful mage in the Nine Realms. Kings feared him, ancient clans praised him, and countless enemies wanted his secrets. When those enemies joined forces to kill him, Kael used a forbidden spell to escape. He expected to wake in another magical world. Instead, he opened his eyes inside Ethan Cole, a powerless young man on modern Earth. Ethan was mocked as a loser, buried under a brutal debt, and hated by the criminals who controlled his family. Kael planned to abandon the dying body and search for a better vessel. Then Ethan's parents and younger sister stood between him and the men who came to beat him to death. They were terrified, but none of them stepped aside. For the first time in either life, Kael chose a family over power. With only a small part of his magic left, he crushed the attackers and promised that his new family would never live in fear again. Now he must rebuild his strength, hide his true identity, and uncover why Earth's most powerful people know the magic of the world that murdered him.
