Little did everyone know, Dhein is actually powerless. Failing to awaken his ability to connect his soul to the divine, he is unable to use the supernatural powers granted to all members of the Divinity Clan. Fearing the consequences of being exposed, Dhein did his best in hiding his real circumstances. He proceeded to trick people using rehearsed lines and fake confidence into thinking that he is the strongest human in the history of mankind. And it worked. For years, he became the most feared individual not just in the empire, but the whole world. His excellent lies coupled with the extremely unlikely events that favored Dhein had cemented his position as the strongest.

"Erik, you committed a serious crime by plagiarizing a man's work," declared the God. "There are millions of criminals committing worse crimes than mine. Why am I being punished?" Erik retorted. "Because you stole a novel from a man who used to be a hero and died protecting the planet." --- "Hello, fraud. Live in a world as me, the pathetic hero you described, and I will be your greatest adversary, the demon lord," Rome proclaimed with a chilling smile. In this novel, Erik is reborn as the hero of the stolen tale, but the demon lord Rome and the Gods won't allow him a moment's peace. Because who wouldn't? Erik stole a novel from Rome, God's favored child. He plagiarized it, catapulting himself to the position of the world's top novelist while Rome spiraled into despair, ultimately ending his own life. For Rome, the novel wasn't just a collection of words. It was a universe where he had lived through triumph and sacrifice, where every character and plot twist had been a part of his own existence. As a former hero, Rome made a wish to the Gods. He yearned to be reborn as the demon lord in the same world where he had met his end at the hands of the demon lord, with Erik reincarnated as the hero destined to fall by the demon lord's hand. Will Erik defy fate and evade the clutches of the demon lord, or will Rome exact his revenge? Or perhaps, something even more monumental is about to unfold? ---- **Disclaimer:** This novel is a work of fiction and is not based on any real individuals or events.

I’m Lin Cola. I’m afraid of ghosts, but my job is paranormal investigator. Broke people don’t get to choose. Then I met Uncle Fa – a middle-aged fraud who calls himself the “38th generation heir of Maoshan Taoism.” His blessed talismans are charged with a phone flashlight, and his exorcism chant is “Chicken rice with egg, milk tea less ice.” He’s scared of geckos, but he’s dead serious about his fake Taoist act. Last week, a woman begged us to check her mirror – she swore there was a second person inside it. Uncle Fa burned incense and drew talismans. I turned off the lights, looked closer, and found that three reflections plus one overactive human brain equals a “ghost.” No spirits. Only physics. We don’t hunt ghosts. We hunt bad explanations. And somehow, this fraud in a crooked Taoist hat is the best partner I never wanted. Dual male leads. No romance. Malaysia comedy mystery. Every haunting has a real-world explanation and Uncle Fa gets it wrong every time.

I've been transmigrated, betrayed, and drowned in a pond — all within my first hour here. I'm not complaining. I'm taking notes. Transmigration? Fine. I accept it. Concubine-born daughter. Inner court politics. Contempt from every direction. I accept that too. But there was one thing I never anticipated — Someone got here before me. She stands where no one else can reach. Worshipped as a goddess. The entire world believes in her. Only I know what she really is. She doesn't know me. I know her. She thinks she's the only secret this era holds. She doesn't realize — she is the most valuable card in my hand. She walked right past me without knowing who I was. Fate has never chosen anyone. It's time to collect what's owed.
