Kael Veynar, the least favored son of a powerful noble house, is cast out and exiled to the Ashen Frontier — a desolate, wind-scoured wasteland plagued by famine, banditry, and rumors of ancient curses. His title, Baron of the Ashen Frontier, is little more than a death sentence wrapped in ceremony. But Kael is no longer who he once was. Inside his body now lives the soul of Adrian Cole, a pragmatic U.S. Army lieutenant with a background in agricultural science, military logistics, and battlefield history. Armed with modern knowledge and a mysterious Danger System that warns him of threats to his life, reputation, or sanity, Adrian refuses to die quietly in exile.

He died with a lifetime of regrets. He woke up with a second chance—and a hunger that could swallow the world. In his past life, he was a man who never finished what he started. Now, reborn as Ren Amaki in a world woven from magic, he has been gifted with Infinite Skill—the ability to master any craft, spell, or weapon the moment he understands its design. He wants to be a builder. A protector. A legend. But Ren wasn’t born empty. He carries the Hollow—a freezing, voracious curse in his chest that devours mana to keep him alive. To his parents, he is a prodigy. To the shadows, he is a predator. As Ren grows, balancing his desire to create with his instinct to consume, he discovers that this world is far more broken than it appears. Alongside a reckless warrior and a brilliant elf, Ren must forge a path between the hero he wants to be and the monster he was born to become. Engineering meets Sorcery in this High Fantasy Isekai about growing up, building the impossible, and surviving your own nature.

He isn’t weak. He’s damned. Cursed to feed only on the mana of the dead. Eric won a second chance at life after a system promised he could get revenge for the death of he and his best friend. He immediately accepted, but he didn't sign up to be a Kill-to-feed being after carrying out his revenge on his killers. Eric refused the order of the parasitic System to kill and consume the mana of his own people. His defiance triggered a transformation into a mindless Beast, and he awoke in a field of corpses. Something he'd done in his mindless state. Thousands of his colony brothers and sisters, brutally killed, their mana devoured. Consumed not by choice, but by a curse he couldn’t control. Now, transmigrated to a world of magic and blades, the same System whispers to him again. His hunger for mana is a ticking clock. Consuming mana however, doesn't just stop his hunger, it also makes him stronger, whether he wants to be or not. And in this strange, violent academy in a violent world, he wants nothing. He just wants to hide. So he plays his role: the hopeless, clumsy freshman, content to be the bottom of the class. He'll be weak. He'll be harmless. He’ll be anything but a threat. But the curse has other plans. Eric never wanted to grow stronger than he was. He needed a solid reason to upgrade his stats so desperately... Until that reason came to him. A mad, brutal reason to grow stronger. To survive this world, he must first conquer the monster he brought with him. And the line between controlling the beast… and becoming it… is starting to blur. Weakness is his disguise. Hunger is his power. And the academy is about to learn that the most dangerous predator isn’t the one who roar in the wilderness. It’s the one pretending to cower.

But when love, loyalty, and overwhelming power collide, can the Warrior of Calamity survive a destiny he never asked for? Will it consume him entirely? This is a dark tale of cultivation, betrayal, and the price of becoming unstoppable.

Kingdoms will fall, heroes will perish, and entire races will be erased unless he can change the course of fate.

I found myself reincarnated into another world, not by being hit by Truck-kun, but by dying in a plane crash. Usually, when a main character is reincarnated into another world, what do they do? ​Hide their power? Become an Extra? Or whatever? I don’t care; if I’m reincarnated, I’m going to enjoy it. ​'I'm not like other Isekai protagonists, who pretend to be weak, then suddenly reveal their true power. That's disgusting.' ​If you have a strong System, what should you do? Be strong—no, be the strongest. Dominate and defeat all your enemies. If you are strong, no one underestimates you. If you are strong, no one dares to fight you = a peaceful life. ​I sometimes wonder if Isekai protagonists are stupid, that they don't even know that logic. They pretend to hide like rats only to be found by cats. ​I truly dislike it. Therefore, I will become the strongest in this world, even if the gods challenge me. ​

So, what’s this novel about? Think 'Squid Game' meets 'Game of Thrones'. ✧˖°── .✦───☼༺☆༻☾───✦.── °˖✧ In a kingdom where the crown is not passed by blood. Even a prince must earn it and even a peasant can claim it. Keiser was a knight of the royal brigade, one of the first commoners ever to reach the final trial of the King’s Gambit. A brutal tradition decided the kingdom’s next king. While nobles trained their entire lives for it, Keiser… born with no mana, rose through grit, loyalty, and unyielding strength. At his side stood Prince Gideon Aury Valemont, the king’s fourth son, who had seemingly renounced his own claim to support Keiser. Or so Keiser believed. It was in the final trial that the truth revealed its fangs. Keiser had been nothing but a pawn. Gideon had used him as a shield, a decoy to draw assassins and rivals, all while secretly paving his own path to the throne. In the trial, a candidate’s kingmaker must either make the ultimate sacrifice or betray their chosen king and seize the throne. Gideon chose the crown. Bloodied and broken, Keiser knelt, impaled by the very sword Gideon gifted to him. A blade forged from the core of a dragon he had once sworn to free, now twisted into the instrument of his death. Smoke curled from seared flesh, sigils burned into his skin by the hand he once trusted most. As numbness dulled the pain, he raised his gaze... And beheld Gideon, crowned in gold and betrayal... a serpent in royal silk, enthroned by treachery and gilded lies. In that final breath, Keiser understood. The King’s Gambit had never been about valor or justice. It was a masquerade of shadows, where victory belonged not to the strongest... but to the most ruthless deceiver. But death was not his end. Keiser awakens in the body of Muzio Auro Valemont, the king’s disgraced tenth prince, long-missing bastard son, doomed to die before the Gambit even begins. To stop history from repeating, Keiser must find the man he once was, must convince his former self that betrayal is coming, that Gideon will drive into his back the very blade forged from the dragon he once freed. Even if it means entering the Trials again in a body too weak to hold a sword. Even if it means bleeding himself dry to keep pace with his mind. Even if it means turning to the forbidden art of Blood Scripting. Keiser---now Muzio, must train, scheme, and survive... Not as the knight who flew too close to the sun, But as the bastard son hidden in its shadow. He no longer seeks the crown. He seeks to destroy all who dare to wear it. ༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺ Unofficial tags are: #Transmigration, #Regression #TimeTravel, #BodySwap #IdentityRebirth #MagicSystem #Greek/Latin/Symbols/Weird-Magic-System, #BloodMagic #ForbiddenArts #StrongToWeak / #WeakToStrong, #Trial-by-Succession, #FoundFamily #Mystery, #HorrorElements, #Elves, #Dragons, #Fae, #Sirens, ━⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅━ If any of that caught your interest, give the story a try, and hopefully you'll find it better than expected.

[WSA 2025] (45,000+ words before locked) —————————————————— “I will become the strongest knight…!” In the frigid border city of Nordhav, fifteen year old Soren dreams of knighthood, though he has no noble name, no sponsor, and nothing to his name but frostbitten fingers and a stolen coat. When a shard of metal falls from the stars and whispers to him in the night, everything changes. The voice inside the sword is ancient, weary, and bound to a forgotten oath. Her name is Valenna. Once a knight of terrifying power, now reduced to a fragment clinging to memory and steel. Through her, Soren gains more than skill, he inherits secrets buried by kings, and a purpose he never asked for. But power in Nordhav has a cost. The training grounds are brutal. The nobles cruel. The city’s lawkeepers are hunting forbidden relics, and Soren is already being watched. As he fights to stay alive, rise in rank, and master the sword’s techniques, he begins to question if he’s the one that’s wielding the sword, or if the sword is the one wielding him. As the world outside stirs with war and prophecy, Soren must choose who he becomes, before someone else decides for him.
