I woke up in this world with a System and a sword. Without hesitation, I chose to complete the princess’ quest with my weapons: Arrogance. Cunning. Pride. I will lead guild Sol Invictus. Denizens of the 7 hells, respect me. Servants of the 11 heavens, know fear. Guild Invictus, know the suffering of training so you can wrest victory from the jaws of those who dare doubt you. This is a story about a snake named Tycondrius waking up in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery. There is action, violence, unapologetic murder, and arrogant displays of power. There is an emphasis on combat growth as well as psychological growth on more than a few members of Guild Invictus. There is camaraderie and also the inevitable comedic dialogue amongst manly men. There are even elements of romance and Tycon running away from terrifying, powerful women. (Did you know most female snakes eat their partners after mating?) Give this book a read. I hope some of these stories can inspire you to fight your battles with analytical intelligence, heroic courage, and ruthless lethality. Work is completed as of 9May2024. There's also a few side-stories written in Chapter 1151! The Author is working on a new story called 'I Wish You Were Never Reborn.' After four or so years of writing, my skills have much improved. Highly recommend. Here is my discord: https://discord.gg/NNbAj7N Constructive criticism and corrections welcome. Other Authors extra-welcome.

The world saw a common weed. The Heavens saw a God-Tier catastrophe. After a fatal accident on Earth, Zhao Chen is reborn into the Azure World—a realm where martial spirits define one's destiny and soul rings are the currency of power. He awakens as the son of a prominent merchant family, but his rebirth comes with a duality that would terrify the strongest Soul Sages: the Apex Assistance System and the Nine-Headed Hydra, a God-Tier martial spirit capable of devouring the very essence of the world. To the public, Zhao Chen is a "Hard-Worker" talent with a lowly Thorny Crawling Vine. He plays the role of the humble merchant’s son to perfection, hiding his true cultivation behind layers of System-generated Spiritual Masking. While the geniuses of the Heavenly Pattern Academy flaunt their golden soul rings and noble lineages, Zhao Chen moves through the shadows, using his "weak" vines to systematically drain the life force of high-tier beasts and arrogant rivals alike. But the Hydra is hungry. To awaken its eight dormant heads, Zhao Chen must consume the most refined spiritual energies the empire has to offer. Now, as he enters the prestigious Academy, Zhao Chen must navigate a lethal game of chess against Soul Kings and suspicious Senior Sisters. In a hierarchy built on visibility, his greatest weapon is his invisibility. He doesn't seek to reach the top of the rankings—he seeks to remain the hidden predator beneath them. Because when the mask finally slips, and the ninth head awakens, the Azure World won't be looking for a genius to lead them. They will be praying for a monster to spare them. "I am not here to stand beneath the sun. I am here to decide when it sets." Author's Note: This is inspired heavily by Douluo Dalu. Read at your own discretion.

Caught off guard by their unexpected and comical misinterpretation, Ashtarot must navigate this awkward situation while trying to do his job properly.

Twenty-three-year-old Shehroz Yousuf is an ambitious software developer living in Karachi. During a visit to the bustling Sunday Bazaar at Clifton, he purchases an unusual smartwatch from an elderly Pathan seller who has no idea of its true value. The watch comes with an English instruction manual that reveals an unbelievable secret: it can freeze time for up to sixty minutes. During the frozen period, every human, vehicle, animal, mobile phone, computer, CCTV camera, and digital surveillance system comes to a complete stop. Only the wearer remains unaffected. However, the watch can only be used once every twenty-four hours, and the manual warns that every action has consequences. Initially, Shehroz dismisses the instructions as a clever marketing gimmick. But after accidentally activating the watch and witnessing an entire city frozen in time, he realizes the device is genuine. Fascinated by his extraordinary power, he begins using it for harmless adventures, exploring Karachi's deserted streets and satisfying his curiosity. Soon, temptation overcomes his conscience. Believing he can never be caught because security cameras and digital systems also freeze, he starts exploiting the watch for personal gain. He steals money, manipulates business deals, gains access to confidential information, and secretly influences the lives of others. As his confidence grows, so does his arrogance. The magical watch transforms an honest young man into someone obsessed with wealth, luxury, and control. Every successful misuse convinces him that he is above the law and beyond the reach of justice. Friends drift away as his personality changes, while his family becomes concerned by his mysterious behavior and sudden fortune. One day, Shehroz discovers that the watch contains hidden abilities not mentioned in the manual. Ignoring every warning, he repeatedly pushes the watch beyond its intended limits. Strange glitches begin appearing around him. He experiences unexplained visions, brief distortions in reality, and mysterious shadows that seem to move even when time is frozen. The boundary between frozen and normal time starts weakening, threatening the natural order itself. Determined to achieve one final, life-changing fortune, Shehroz plans the perfect crime using the maximum sixty-minute time freeze. During the operation, he forces the watch beyond its limit in an attempt to gain a few extra minutes. The device overheats, malfunctions, and triggers a catastrophic collapse of the time-freezing mechanism. When time resumes, reality no longer behaves normally. Shehroz finds himself trapped in a horrifying paradox where everyone else continues living while he remains permanently disconnected from the flow of time. He can see and hear the world, but no one can see, hear, or touch him. He becomes an invisible prisoner, condemned to wander endlessly through a world that has forgotten his existence. The novel concludes with a powerful moral lesson: extraordinary power without wisdom leads to destruction. Shehroz's greed, dishonesty, and misuse of a miraculous gift ultimately cost him everything—his family, his future, his identity, and even his place in time. His tragic fate serves as a timeless reminder that every shortcut has a price, and every choice carries consequences that cannot always be undone.This ending gives the novel a dark, thought-provoking conclusion while reinforcing the central theme that power without responsibility inevitably leads to tragedy.
