Synopsis

On the 15th of March 2164, the world mourns the passing of Darius Stone, billionaire broker, and philanthropist.  Yet while his family and friends put his body to rest, Darius wakes up to find himself reborn into a younger body in a different world. A strange voice informs him that his soul has been transported into the magic-filled world of Faust on the behest of a mysterious Goddess called Vena, for the sole purpose of entertaining her through his struggles. In this world where any dream can be achieved with enough effort, he sets out to become a Supreme, an existence above Mortals and even Gods! ————————————————— Warning: This novel features a villainous protagonist. If you have enjoyed Warlock of the Magus World, then you should be able to tolerate Darius Stone’s actions and choices throughout the novel in terms of Morality. Note: This story is slow-paced in order to allow for better world-building and development. If you’re looking for a fast-paced action story, this might not be for you.

Celestial Bloodline

On a peaceful planet filled with magic and power, Kyle's life was lazy and ordinary, but little did he know, he possessed something extraordinary. He lived his life with his family like any other lazy human, or so he thought, unaware that everything happens for a reason. However, everything changed when he turned sixteen. His older brothers, who were fed up with his laziness, came up with a ridiculous plan to teach him a lesson. They asked him to take the entrance test for one of the biggest academies. They thought this would knock some sense into their lazy brother. Kyle was stunned, but because of their coordinated planning, he reluctantly agreed with a hint of resignation. "I don't think I'll pass the test anyway. So, trying it for the experience isn't a big deal." "The only problem is, I can't guarantee that all my body parts will stay intact until the end of the entrance test." But to Kyle's shock, he passed the test without even lifting a finger! Still, he was convinced that he would eventually be kicked out of the Academy due to his lack of strength. But the moment he set foot in the Academy, he discovered something incredible about himself. He was special and nature's favorite. . . . ______ (#It's my first time writing. So, support me with ps, gt and gifts. Hehe, THANK YOU) (Note: The cover is not mine, found it from pinterest.

So, it's the proverbial Author's review. Now, let me use this limited and much-visited space to clarify some things for those who are yet to read and those who have begun reading but are likely confused about some things. 1. In this novel, you are mostly spoonfed things, but a wealth of things are also left for you to read in between the lines. This novel was written with the intention of appealing to a thoughtful crowd, so erm... please make sure you fit that category. 2. Darius Stone, the MC, is not an edgelord as many expected from the synopsis. The comparison to Leylin Farlier from Warlock of the Magus world was not referring to their personalities or logical choices, but their moral choices. Unfortunately, some fellows came in hoping to see Leylin V2.0, not Darius Stone. 3. Darius is - as they say - isekai'd. Yes, but please - and absolutely keep this in mind as it is the whole point of the plot - he is not done so freely. He is brought to the world of Faust with a goal in mind, and majority of the actions he takes - whether you like it or not, or whether you feel its smart or not - are geared towards fulfilling that goal, which is to amuse the one who reincarnated him. 4, Please, for the love of God, hide your arrogance and ego. yes, the suggestions you made as to loopholes with the ability he acquires are grand, but you aren't the only one who can do 1+1. I, and the create/characters in the novel, can certainly think that far, and if it's not implemented, it means it likely would not work. This is in regard to the system mechanism as well as the ability. 5. If the above-mentioned things have bothered you, please use this as an official clarification for your doubts. If they haven't, please keep an eye out for them and when you encounter them, remember my words. It would make much more sense when you do. Thanks for reading so far. If you have read a bit and want to leave some praises, you can also make a review or let me know in the replies here or in comments (chapter and paragraph) in the novel. If you have criticisms, you can also leave those, and I will investigate and either give you an explanation, gratitude, or apology depending on the validity. If you are part of the typical crowd who like to insult first and think later, you are also free to leave whatever comments you have wherever. Just beware that, heh, I also insult back, and quite scathingly at that.

Can't say that I enjoyed this novel as much as I did guild wars, but let's begin the analysis. 1- I feel disconected to this novel mostly because the protagonist's emotions don't make sense. He pratically "owned" the world before his death and transmigation to Faust, I won't say he should be a stuck up prick, but there should be at least some pride hidden in there, he should have some negative emotions towards the Goddes who sent him to this world to entertrain her and the goddes's 'dog' (forgot his name, but the system dude), I mean, I understad that it's useless to be angry at the goddes for her emotions, but there should be some anger hidden behind his demeanor, he's basically a toy for her afterall... (I feel like no ammount of being a cold-hearted MC would make that anger dissapear, hiding it would be possible, but making it inexistent is kinda weird...) 2- The story progression kinda sucks, ngl... I feel like things go his way too easily, if the goddes really created this world just for him, she could probably make his life harder, instead he goes to speak with a random bandit leader, he has 10 god level treasures, cuz why not (none of them were duds btw, that situation was unreal af...) and to top all that off when he goes to see the slaves there's a dude with Royal giant blood in his veins, won't even say how absurd that is... 3-The world is interesting at least, there's a few continents that have different settings, for some reason the technology advanced continents haven't enslaved the other continents (wich doesn't make sense, since they have a really advanced techonology level, but hey, magic.) 4-No romance during the free chapters (till c70), for those who were reading for the romance tag. 5-I feel like his system limits him a bit too much, but there's probably gonna be some changes in the future, with system upgrades and shit. 6-Transmutation was done in a bad way... (would say shitty, but that might be offensive so, bad). a) No reason for him not to make better potions... If the supreme version doesn't exist (as the author said in a comment) he could at least go for the highest quality possible, but due to balancing issues we had a protagonist that made a potion just slightly better and didn't give any explanation as to why only went that far. (aka we need more rules for the transmutation skill instead of plotholes) b)A rule that he can only transmute itens that are considered to be of his level would be nice. Ex: Journeyman can only make potions of medium quality and can only transmute things to idk orichalcum ore. The ownership system is weird af too, but sure. 7)I feel like his first scheme, kinda sucks afterall you don't really need to go for the "light" path in a kindgom said to be small af, he could just focus in creating his party and staying low while controlling the market from behind the scenes, but idk politics might help him in the future. Btw forgot to say that using the first scheme to create a 'identity' was total bullshit, no1 knew ppl from other towns in the medieval age, so it would be very easy to create a better indentity he could have gone with the tycon from a different kindgom identity, we all know that the spy network of a small kindgom won't be able to investigate his background that way.

This will be my review after going through first 60 chapters. It is written specifically for those who have come here after seeing the villainous MC tag. There might be a few spoilers, so please proceed with caution. Pros: 1) Author has done a good job weaving the world and MC's system. It states that since MC has adopted the system that'll grant him quick growth with it's OP features, he'll have to give up the organic growth in exchange for it. Basically, he'll have to raise his stats and skills through system and not by practicing his skills or working out. That leaves little room for plot holes and makes it easy for readers to keep track of MC's growth. 2) So far, the pace with which story progresses is solid and steady. And till now there are no young master troupes. The side characters bare not shown to be overly dense and synthetic. Their reactions are well within how a sane and able person would react to if placed in that situation. 3) The storyline is compressed and has a huge potential to have an amazing growth spurt. Meaning, there are no plots within plots as of now. Nor are there over abundance of characters that makes it difficult for readers to keep track of. But since there's plenty of foreshadowing introduced at the right time, it doesn't feel like the storyline is one dimensional. 4) The language part is good and there are no glaring grammatical errors. Cons: 1) Author shouldn't have compared this MC with Leylin. It puts this MC on a pedestal he can't easily walk out of. He has a character flaw that makes him a hypocrite. (Spoiler example: anything related to miner girls is totally off the table for MC because he had two daughters in the past. But he orders the bandits to perform raid on homestead he is staying in at the time that has such miner girls along with other innocent villagers to achieve his goals.) Although he admits his flaw and is aware of it's existence, it doesn't help him since he had been compared to Leylin from WMW, who didn't have such issue. Leylin wasn't a pedo either, but he was down with anything that'd gain him the most profits. But the good thing is, this flaw can be ignored for most times. 2) Although author won't admit it, the system grants him the most OP and broken abilities which he doesn't make use of for the most time in the beginning. And when he does, he does it in a non efficient way. 3) The base plot makes the readers question MC's smartness, as he was dubbed as the most successful businessman in the past life with 70 years of experience dealing with all sorts of people and situations. Since he was portrayed to be someone with cunning and coldness to not shy away from partaking in the most heinous tasks, and someone who caused wars to gain profits from them on earth; readers expect a certain mindset from the MC. He should be thinking first before performing any tasks with absolute certainty. And the story also tells the readers in the beginning that the goddess has summoned him because of his black heart and cunningness, to entertain her through his various actions while trying to achieve the Supreme level. But right afterward his entry into the new world, instead of displaying the cunning he possesses to swiftly tackle all the problems lying in front of him, we find that he is hurrying himself to find a human settlement coz he thinks the goddess that summoned him wants him to be doing just that lest she gets bored. We can ignore this after considering it to be the device to make the storyline progress forward, but there should have been a better way to retain MC' cunning. Till now he hasn't done anything too profiting for himself even with all those cheat abilities. 4) There's a subtle miscommunication that takes place in the storyline which makes the readers think that the story has a plot hole when there isn't. Author explains a few things in an ambiguous way that leaves room for valid questions to arise. Even when we give the author some liberty and consider that he did that to construct certain suspence and foreshadowing while leaving room to future developments, this too could have been avoided if only author chose to do it in a way that would leave less room for unneeded questions. 5) For a character that managed to retain his image of the most philanthropic man who did everything to help the needy and poor despite him causing wars to profit from them in the shadows; MC surprisingly becomes somewhat careless as soon as he finds human settlement. Although it doesn't look too apparant as of now, I can see some of his decisions coming to bite him back in the a**, coz he already has left some loose ends. This too could have been ignored. The problem is that author made a comparison between the MC and Leylin from the get go, who didn't let anyone see his true nature untill it was too late for anyone to do anything. So the readers expect same kind of perfection from this MC if not something better. But foreshadowing made by author breaks this very expectation even before it takes shape. 6) MC's evilness seems to be just for the sake of being evil with minimum amount of gains and maximum repercussions coming his way. Again, I have to say this at the cost of coming across as a broken record; but this too could have been chucked under the carpet had author not compared the MC with Leylin. Since Leylin did what he did to make the most out of every situations and only when he was certain there's no alternative way to do things in a subtle way, he doesn't come across as purely evil. But the MC here orders bandits to wipe out the homestead coz he wanted to gain two seemingly disposable pawns which was something that can be deemed unnecessary. 7) When he should have prioritised laying low before gaining an identity like what Leylin would have done, he has chosen to attract unwanted attention by sanctioning a mass wipeout. 8) There are no chapter titles. Although it seems trivial, most readers would prefer to have chapter titles to get the prelude of what's going to happen in them.
