The Night Has Come, and kermesinus moon ascends in the sky. Hoarse whispers flow at the street corners, and brass steam machines spew out bloody mist. Your brain is singing a hymn, eyes are chanting a melody. Skin cracks, and flesh buds swell. Amidst the Mist, the wall of flesh that has devoured thousands of corpses wails endlessly— "Weep not, our players don't bite, they just want to play with you." Annan, the lone strategist, the top player, the savior of the mist-covered continent, the leader of the Thirteen Saints, the friend of the Twelve True Gods, the king of pioneers, "the Just", the Gatekeeper of the Fourth Calamity, the uncrowned deity, advised kindly.

I, Fang Cheng, an Immortal. Although I had developed many hit games, there was one question I never quite figured out. Games, why are you fun?

In the game Myth2, Klaus Park was already considered a top player at just 13 years old. With his advanced knowledge of the game and methods of adapting to the most varied situations, he became a world champion younger than anyone else. However, due to a tragic incident, he left his team and the gaming world a year later. Now, 7 years after leaving the professional scene, he returned to play the eminent VRMMORPG called Rise Online, a unique game of unrestricted freedom whose number of players already exceeds one hundred million. This game allows players to use real-world skills such as martial arts, archery, blacksmithing, or reaction time for their own benefit, along with the freedom to explore 7 colossal, mythological worlds. Planning how to conquer dungeons? Fight against powerful guilds? Slay the Werewolf King? Face hordes of thousands of zombies? Have the power to revive the dead? Or discover unknown battle techniques? None of this is impossible for Klaus, a legendary player, and holder of the Psych Class, allowing him to see and talk to spirits, copy abilities, cast magic items, and see the signs that no one else can see across the worlds. His real goal is to reach the throne of the paranormal world and the top of the player and guild ranks of Rise Online. No matter what is in front of him, he will be head-on with his best, be it the High Lord of Vampires or the strongest Guild Master. Main Tags: Action, Weaktostrong, Male MC, Videogame and evolution.

The MC is Overpowered!! And So Broken!! Leon was just grinding for loot like any other player. Until a rare quest dumped him in front of the Goddess of Sloth. She was breathtaking, a vision of divine perfection… if only she looked like she actually cared. With a half-lidded gaze, she let out a soft yawn before murmuring, "Mmm… I guess you’ll do." Boom. Overpowered blessing unlocked. Suddenly, Leon's rocking the Legendary Blacksmith Class, forging weapons so absurdly powerful that even the game devs are side-eyeing him. His stats refuse to stop climbing. His skills break every limit. Before he knows it, he’s leading a squad of insanely strong (and suspiciously attractive) allies. Oh, and he somehow accidentally founded a Kingdom. Even in real life, things spiral. Wealth, fame, and an alarming number of people begging for crafting commissions. But as the chaos piles up, one question keeps nagging at him: Why does this “game” feel a little too real? ◇◆◇ Discord Server: tinyurl.com/galanteodiscord ◇◆◇ Additional Tags: - Harem and Romance - No Yuri No NTR! - Blacksmith - Kingdom Building - Spirit Beast Contract - Real World Impact - Wealth and Fame - Seven Sins

Felix Maxwell war dazu bestimmt, ein Verlierer zu sein. Geboren in einer der schwächsten Rassen und unter den ungünstigsten Umständen, war er gezwungen, Widrigkeiten direkt ins Auge zu blicken, während er durch das weite Universum reiste, wo in jeder Ecke Gefahren lauerten. Eines Tages, auf der Suche nach Reichtümern, stieß er auf eine Ruine, in der ein höheres Wesen gefangen war. In einem Moment des Pechs richtete das Wesen seinen Blick auf ihn und versuchte, seinen Körper zu übernehmen, indem es sich ihm aufzwang. Aber das Schicksal hatte ihn nicht aufgegeben! Er wachte in seinem jüngeren Körper auf, 20 Jahre in der Vergangenheit, mit dem gefallenen Wesen, das in seiner Seele gefangen war. In seinem früheren Leben war er ein Verlierer gewesen, der Dinge auf halbem Weg aufgab und nie nach Größe strebte. Er war eine Nebenfigur, die die Starken noch heller strahlen ließ, aber nicht in diesem Leben. Er schwor sich selbst, nach Ruhm zu streben, sein Wissen zu nutzen und als höheres Wesen aufzusteigen!

Death is sometimes not the end, and the zenith is empty. Legends rise and fall. Myths are born. Faced with death after a dismal fall from grace where glory, renown, and prominence were once found, Kieran's second chance is fueled by vengeance. It burns like a ruinous flame and drives Kieran's quest for power within and without. Though not an ingrate, he remains curious about why he returned to the past instead of dying. He has nothing but questions, but his death puts the beginning of his story into perspective, showing him that Zenith Online... is the beginning of the end — the end of the current Age. The zenith is empty and calls for someone to claim its throne, but to answer that call means to bear the consequences. Everything — especially choice — has a cost. Challenges lay in wait. The road to supremacy is wound in suffering, and to know the truth is to know madness. And so, the Maddened awakens...
