"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

"Saras Gayen! Are you reading those dusty old books again?"  Nina Gayen's shout preceded her entrance as she banged open the door to her son's room. As she expected, she found Saras sitting on his bean bag, holding a paperback copy of World History: The Ancient Civilizations. She snatched the book from his hands and tossed it into the pile of other books covering a range of topics from politics to economics related to Earth. "Look at Ellie's daughter, Stivi. She has already reached Level 3 in the Dreamverse VR within two hours of its launch. Why are you still lounging at home?" "I am not lounging! I am studying History…" Saras protested, looking at the book pile before turning his gaze towards his mother.  She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him as if he had committed a grave sin by not entering the game as soon as it was launched. "You are turning 25 this year. If you don't play the Dreamverse VR now and join a good guild, how will you find a wife?" Thus started his journey as he once again navigated the VR scene through the mysterious game Dreamverse VR that was said to hold the keys to Human Evolution.

After an unforeseen circumstance, Kayn is abruptly transported back in time, accompanied by someone he once considered his most significant foe.

Fueled by a deep desire for retribution, Kayn vows to take matters into his own hands and right the wrongs of the past, proclaiming his intent to become a Kingmaker and shape the future according to his own vision.

Kairos Veyne was a nobody in the real world, a shut-in gamer who spent his life grinding through the legendary RPG Eternal Dominion. His unhealthy lifestyle finally caught up to him, and in the middle of achieving the game’s ultimate victory, he dropped dead from a heart attack. But instead of fading into oblivion, he wakes up in Eternal Dominion itself, reborn as an impossibly handsome version of himself with god-tier stats and a broken ability that lets him generate any weapon, armor, or item he desires, as long as he gathers the right elements. However, Kairos isn’t placed at the top of the food chain. He is reborn in a struggling kingdom on the verge of destruction, caught between warring nations and monstrous threats. The only reason he survives? The kingdom’s young ruler swears loyalty to him on sight, sensing his overwhelming power. Determined to build his own legend, Kairos begins strengthening the kingdom, forging legendary weapons, training warriors, and crushing enemies with ease. But his rise to power doesn’t go unnoticed. Enter Seraphina Drakos, the pride of the Draconian Kingdom, an elite knight tasked with destroying the very nation Kairos protects. She challenges him in battle, and despite his overwhelming strength, he finds her fierce determination and skill intriguing. What starts as a rivalry soon turns into something more, but love is complicated when both of their nations are sworn enemies. As Kairos levels up, he discovers that the world is not exactly like the game he once knew. Darker forces are moving in the shadows, forbidden dungeons appear where they shouldn't, and legendary figures from the game’s lore have minds of their own. Even the true purpose of his reincarnation remains a mystery. With his power growing at an absurd rate, his kingdom rising to prominence, and his slow-burn romance with an enemy knight threatening to turn into something more, Kairos is faced with one ultimate question: Will he conquer the world like the Overlord he was destined to be, or will he rewrite the game’s fate and forge his own path? One thing is certain. This time, he won’t be bound by game mechanics. He is the system now.

He was a beast. Composed of nothing but sheer brutality, masculinity and power. A mate was the last thing on his mind. . . until he laid his eyes on her. [ influenced by the story of Hades and Persephone ]

Ukris—the God of Creation, sovereign of all that exists—was not slain by blade nor curse, but by his own supremacy. The weight of countless worlds eroded even his divinity, and as illness consumed him, his twelve children saw their chance. A holy war erupted. Brother against sister. Child against father’s will. Entire timelines shattered. Worlds collapsed and reformed again and again, leaving behind fragments of broken realities. From these scars, dimensional cracks tore open across forgotten worlds—birthing the monsters humanity would come to know as dungeons. Ukris was struck down. His guardians ended the war, wiping out his children. Only one escaped—Chronos, the betrayer. Yet even as his body crumbled, Ukris cast his soul and mind into the stream of eternity, searching… desperate for an heir who could inherit his will. His countless reversals of time destroyed multiverses, dimensions, and lives. He found a worthy one once—but failed to bring him back. Just when all seemed lost, he discovered another. A perfect soul. A boy identical to the one he had lost. A boy who had already given up on love… and on himself. His name was— Snow Quincy.
