Caught in a seemingly endless recursion, Benjamin must conquer a game world designed to shift, rebuild, and respond to player actions through a sentient, shadowy system known only as The Architect. With each death, the system logs his progress, but not for his benefit—it learns from him as much as he learns from it. The goal? Ascend. What Ascension truly means is a mystery, buried behind cryptic NPCs, hidden lore nodes, and countless realms—each governed by their own twisted laws of cultivation, mana manipulation, AI psychology, and ancient world scripts. But there’s a deeper truth lurking beneath the surface—Ascendant is not just a game. It’s an experiment. A prison. And maybe, just maybe, a key to something far larger than himself. ~~~ Ascendant: The Infinite Loop is a long-form, slow-burn LitRPG epic that rewards curiosity, problem-solving, and character growth. With deeply structured cultivation, system progression, psychological elements, and non-linear world exploration, this series explores what it truly means to break limits—both in the game, and in yourself.

It was just an ordinary day until it wasn't, the world flipped over its head and the Celestial Games began. Shinu had the worst growth potential and a curse that would make him lose his mind, but if that is the cost of infinite retries, then so be it, in this nightmarish world, isn't that godly? ...Or perhaps he'll lose his mind before completing it.
Location: Earth 0001 Date: Spring of 2069 Time: 16:20 That is the exact date and time the world as we earthlings knew was over. Calamities. That is the name we have given the creatures who invaded our planet. All manner of creatures we thought myth popped into existence on the surface of the planet from a crack in space. We termed it Rift. This happened all over the world at the same time. The world’s military tried in vain to kill the creatures but to no avail. They had an energy shield made of Energon, which is magic energy, to protect them. Their bodies were even infused with it. Therefore, nuclear weapons couldn’t kill them either. This went on for days. A billion lives were lost in not even a week. Until a crazy swordsman from Japan used a katana to slice a hellhound’s head off. Right afterward, he received a notification about exp. This then set off a frenzy of people getting whatever sharp or blunt object and started killing Calamities. That’s when a leader of the Calamities announced that our world would soon be overrun with monsters even bigger and stronger than the fodder we had killed. And to be safe from the new wave, we can go to another world with other races as well as other humans. Everyone jumped at the thought of going to this new world. Mainly due to fear of these next creatures’ strength. This new world is called Olympus. However, it was anything but that. Wars were fought between the races for thousands of years; we were too distracted with fighting to realize the threat looming ahead of us. All of our deaths were just food for the Demon God. Fast forward 799 years and 364 days, this world was also overrun. I am the last survivor. Well, the next generation are but they’re as good as dead because they’re too weak. With our last battle gone up in flames, and all of the heavy hitters dead, the next generation had no one to blame but me since they believe I abandoned my mission. As though a lone sword king could change the outcome of the battle. Once back, I told them I’m the only one. This enraged them. Execution was the only justice I could receive after the loss of their parents. I could’ve killed them all but, the last sliver of humanity left in me refused and I died. Unexpectedly, I woke up in bed next to my wife three months before the invasion. Not particularly shocked, I concluded this must be the cliché scenario in the novels I used to read millennia ago. Whatever god or gods that were left, perhaps even the universe, took pity on me and decided to send me back. But, I don’t care. I’ve regressed. This time I won’t die. I’ll cleanse Olympus of the scourge. I’ll kill those damned demon lords. I’ll reach godhood and decimate that pointy-haired, androgynous demon god bastard. This is the regression of I, Seraph, The Bitter. *** Follow along as Seraph ruthlessly ascends in World Rank while preventing deaths that would’ve played a vital role in the War of Worlds. Minor kingdom-building elements.
I never thought I'd be important. Just an ordinary guy in a world of heroes, royals, and ancient bloodlines. But one day, I got caught up in something way bigger than me, a war between different kingdoms, gods who don’t care about us, and monsters that shouldn’t exist. I wasn’t chosen by fate. I didn’t have special blood. I wasn’t the son of some legendary warrior. I was just… me. But I made friends. People stronger, smarter, and braver than I could ever be. And I promised to never let them down. So when the world started falling apart, I did what I always do, I made stupid decisions, ran straight into danger, and refused to die. If the world needed a hero, it wasn’t gonna be me. But if my friends needed someone to believe in them, to stand beside them even when things got impossible… well, that I could do. This is my story. The story of The Last Ordinary Guy.

I'm Just the Reader, But the Story Thinks I'm the Final Boss Morgan Reed was just an ordinary office worker with one obsessive hobby: reading "Apocalypse Online," a 1,503-chapter web novel about Earth being transformed into a game-like reality. After three years of sleepless nights dissecting every plot twist, character arc, and power upgrade, Morgan knows the story inside and out... except for the ending, which the author rage-deleted after a dispute. When reality suddenly transforms with a system notification—[Scenario 001: Begin]—Morgan realizes with horror that the apocalypse from the novel is happening for real. Subway cars are being torn apart by giant centipedes, regular people are transforming into berserkers, and the protagonist from the story, Kira Young, is right there on the same train. But there's a catastrophic twist. The System has misidentified Morgan as [The Hidden Threat]—the mysterious final boss who's supposed to appear in the last chapters to destroy the world. Now labeled as a Tier-SS threat, Morgan is being hunted by the System, monsters, and eventually heroes who are just following their programmed narrative. Armed with encyclopedic knowledge of a story that's already deviating from its original plot and zero actual combat abilities, Morgan must navigate an increasingly unpredictable apocalypse. Each action creates ripple effects through the narrative, rendering their precious foreknowledge less reliable with every chapter. Worse still, someone else seems to know the true ending—and they're determined to make sure it happens exactly as written. In a world where levels, skills, and character classes determine survival, Morgan's only power is knowing what's supposed to happen next. But as the line between reader and character blurs, a terrifying question emerges: if Morgan isn't really the final boss... then who is?
