Synopsis

Discord: https://discord.gg/aCv3dUmYRe The year was 2334, when virtual reality reached its peak with the creation of the SHS prototype, an advanced neural simulation that allows players to fully immerse themselves in alternate worlds. Henry Bartholomew was hand picked as a recruit to try out this new project. He had carefully chosen to enter the world where he was the son of a king, a chilling and lazy life. What happens when he wakes up as the son of a Baron instead? And even worse, his newly claimed character has a bad reputation around the people. With all odds against him, the young man decided he was by all means going to create a world where he could live as carefree as he wanted. But first he needed to do one thing - make his land the most successful in all the seven continents and save his family name And luckily, he had support - [Your Ep has been filled.] [Earning points can now be claimed.] The young lord tapped the screen.

Chapter 1Prototype Shs

( Year 2234.)

"All participants should remain in their gaming pods! I repeat, all participants should remain in their gaming pods." The voice of the announcer echoed inside the enclosed facility.

Inside the sterile white room, were scientific pods, carefully arranged in a straight line. Each pod was connected to an artificial unit that was designed to regulate the health conditions of the individuals currently lying inside the pods.

This artificial unit was called, Prototype SHS.

A few months back, the gaming word took a drastic change when news of the high level virtual reality simulation was announced.

Boasting of having the highest level of artificial intelligence, this simulation was not only able to turn every game into a whole new world for players to live in, but it also introduced neural integration, making it feel like you are one with the character you are playing as.

The planning stage of the project was so impressive, that the government invested a total of 890 million dollars in market price. If it was going to be successful, then they could easily manipulate into military warfare.

Finally, when the launching day for the simulation was near, fifteen soldiers were chosen as test subjects for the operation of the prototype SHS.

One of them happened to be a new recruit: Henry Bartholomew. He was well known to be lazy and a loner, but his skills as a smart minded person was exceptional.

Lying inside the Gaming Pod, Henry could hear the muffled voices of the scientist discussing outside.

One of them walked up to his pod, and uttered, "Once we close the pod, the Prototype SHS will link to your brain waves, if you feel any type of pain, do let us know, okay?"

Henry gave a half hearted nod.

"Okay, ready to go!"

The scientist closed the pod, all noises getting shut out.

Almost immediately, a hologram displayed in front of Henry, different covers for different types of games and simulation.

'The commander mentioned we'll have to pick a world to run the test in. I don't want anything too intense or annoying.'

His eyes scanned the options until on caught his attention:

(Kingdom building: The Virtual story.)

'Hmm, this seems like a pretty chill game, it's basically just about a prince. If that's the case, I can relax as much as I want without needing to do much of anything.'

_click!_

He tapped the screen.

(You have picked your simulation.)

(Your journey begins in, 5...4...3..2..)

**Booom!**

That was the last thing he saw, flames surrounding him as his gaming pod went flying and crashing.

Was it all going to end like this?

With a final, violet jot, Henry fell unconscious, the whirlpool of light, pulling him into another existence.

'Eh? You've...got to be kidding me...right?'

×××{}×××

_kaaaawwww!_

The sound of the bird echoed.

Henry's eyes snapped open.

'Oi! W...what happened?'

He took his time to read his environment, blinking to adjust to the light.

The bed in front of him was neatly spread, and the window widely opened, allowing him to see the long flag just outside his room he was in.

There was a red rug on the ground, and on the wall hung two double blades and a red coat.

'Hmmrrgh...'

He grunted, rubbing his eyes before looking towards the window again.

'Chill for a second, I remember my pod blew up before the ai could complete the countdown. Did I still manage to enter the simulation? If so, my pod should have been destroyed, how the hell would I go back?'

[Returning to the real world is currently impossible.]

Henry's eyes instantly picked up on the blue template displaying in front of him.

'Is this...the Shs prototype?'

[Congratulations for your successful transportation into a new world. May the luck of the goddess guide you.]

'Luck of the goddess... fuck this, i don't know why I'm so calm, I'm basically trapped here. What if I'm actually dead? I know this yet I can't bring myself to actually panic. Maybe because I know this is a simulation?'

Henry sighed, before standing up from the chair so he could walk closer to the window and see exactly what he was going to be dealing with.

'Not that I care much anyway. I'm sure it will-'

Just as he wanted to take a single step, he noticed the mirror hanging on the wall beside him.

Gulping down his saliva, he slowly turned his gaze towards it. His reflection stared back at him.

"Ain't...no way..."

The man in the mirror looked nothing like him.

He had a medium long hair that could almost cover both his eyes. His body was lacking in the muscles he once had, red majestic eyes and even lashes longer than they needed to be.

In conclusion, he was handsome.

Henry was nothing like that, he had spent about 15 years of his life in a military school, and just only got recruited into the base, his skin was harsh and he was far from being handsome.

So who the hell was the man in the mirror?!

"The commander said we were supposed to regain our looks even after entering the game. I remember hearing that, so is this a bug? Considering my pod blew up, that shouldn't be out of the question. It's fine, since I'm the prince, life shouldn't be-"

Henry's eyes widened even more. The realisation dawned on him when he remembered something.

The prince on the cover or the game had silver hair and was way older than the person in the mirror.

'Shs?'

[Shs is unnecessary, call me the Carrier.]

'Yeah sure, who did I get transported as?'

[You are Alaric Montclair, the second son of the Baron, Rashin Montclair. 18 years of age, your status:...]

[The Joke of the Barony.]

"The Joke of the Barony."

Henry uttered in unison with the system as his memories began to settle in.

Still holding on to the memories he had as Henry Bartholomew, new memories began to resurface in his head, the memories of the character he was playing as, Alaric Montclair.

"What sort of sick joke is this..." Alaric continued to stare at the mirror, "I was supposed to play the character of the King's son, not this loser who only parties and womanizes all the time. It was so bad, people started calling him a joke... There has to be a mistake somewhere."

Suddenly -

_bang! Bang!_

"Lord Alaric, are you awake?"

The voice of a woman echoed from the other side is the door.

Alaric's eyes widened in nervousness, sweat already forming on his face.

'This is the worst case scenario playing out... I'm going to interact with a human!'

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
