Synopsis

The center of the universe. The undisputed victor. The one who ultimately wins hearts and undoes enemies with a triumphant smile. That is the role of the protagonist. And all in their orbit are merely supporting characters in the epic that is their life. As for me? I was just a writer, whose words seldom echoed beyond the silence of my own mind. And when they did, it was in the form of a novel – my sole outcry in the vastness of literary oblivion. Until the day the thread of my life snapped… and in the blink of an eye, I was reborn. Inside my own work. With clenched fist and resolute soul, I faced the new reality. Reincarnating into one's own story seems promising, right? To be the immortal hero, the aura of invincibility, the inevitable romances. Except no. The plot twisted and I returned not as the hero, but as an extra – an NPC in the affable terminology of gaming. Away from the spotlight, on the fringes of adventures and loves, I am just a figure that completes the backdrop for others to shine. And honestly? What a relief! Why, you might ask, do I not wish to be the chosen one? Simple – protagonists are magnets for mishaps. Living on the edge of calamity? No, thank you. Death and I have already crossed paths; dramatic pretexts can keep their distance. Thus, I summon to the heavens my heartfelt thanks for this second anonymous chance. “Let me enjoy a stable life away from the limelight,” I plead fervently among tears of joy and resigned smiles. Yet, stifle that laughter. Know that these words, uttered in the innocence of a fresh start, would soon prove to be the prelude to an involuntary comedy. Because, it seems, even an extra can find themselves face to face with destiny. And so begins the most unexpected of journeys – one where the smallest of pawns may, somehow, change the game.

Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..."

Strongest Mage with the Lust system

[ Warning: Mature content R-18 ] Is death a new begining? For Max, it was. Max, a twenty-year-old virgin, got attacked by a bear in forest and died an untimely death. Fortunately for him... that wasn't the end to his story. In the next instant, he found himself transmigrated into the body of a noble's youngest son in a world full of Magic, wonders and... beautiful women. As if God was making up for his untimely death, he also got a system -The Lust System. "I can become stronger just by having sex?" Join the journey of Max and watch he have the time of his life and become the strongest mage the world had ever seen before. ______________________________ [Things to be noted] 1. From the title, you should've guessed it already but let me tell you the story will be filled with many sexual adventures. So... you are welcome to enjoy them..... 2. However... don't expect MC to have sexual relations with every woman he meets. I'll be focusing on the story, and would 'Try' not to blindly throw sex scenes left and right. 3. Most importantly, this is my first time writing so the the quality of first 50 or so may be a bit lacking (But it would cause you no problem if a few minor errors don't bother you). 4. It is a slow paced story. If you want everything to be explosive and fast, maybe this isn't for you. Important Note: If you enjoy the story then don't forget to vote your GTs, Power stones and also if you can, send some GIFTS too. This poor soul would appreciate it. Also check out My other work: [ Rise of the Strongest War God ] & [ My perverted devil system ] Happy reading~ ________________

Very good novel. Writing quality is very good. If you're a ESL reader then I'd recommend against reading it. The novel is filled to the brim with figurative language, and sarcasm. All goes to suggest that if you're reading web novels, for the sheer action and clean thrill, then don't read this novel. However, if you're a reader who appreciates the satirical nature of writing, then enjoy. I've read many satirical essays and literary works composed in the 1800s, and I can say that this is more enjoyable read than all the essays prescribing self reliance and fundamentalism. Stability of updates, I have nothing to discuss. Last chapter has been almost a week, so, where he at dawg. World background, is honestly not bad. It's another one of those rinse and repeat, with a standard, academy, system and a bunch of mystical skills, with an author transmigrating to their own novel. There's not really a twist, but hey, sometimes even unoriginal works can be outstanding. Character design is a bit questionable. All of the side characters/main protagonist have their own clear defined personalities. Chloe is different though, because her characteristics is an unclear imitation of the mc's, which I don't think should be the case. I'm not arguing against the author's intention with the character, but I'm not a fan of it. The progression is the weakest of all 5 elements, in which, I feel the arcs are moving too fast. It's obvious that the author is able to extend a chapter by two fold when the mc's inner monologues, but the fact that the author is in an academy, then working as a bodyguard, with the whole class unaware is his disappearance, is just a bit peculiar. There also should be more training montages. Is he a lazy bum? because unlike all the other characters who have a designed combat prowess, he relies solely on his one skill, with his swordsmanship, suddenly honing itself out of blue.

Are you searching for comedy? Or action ? Perhaps some adventures? may it be some teenage romance? Maybe you're more in the mood for some mafia drama? Stop right here, whatever you're searching for this novel has it all. A piece of art which will left you forever changed, your taste in novels ? Elevated. Setting high standards achievable only by few. A great story, masterfully written, with a captivating plot and characters just as intriguing, each chapter leave you eager to read the next, each detail given awakens within one self a thirst for more knowledge. Unfortunately that's when the few negative points of the novel emerge as the shadows of it's shine. First of all we have a lack of dwelling into the world building, we don't know much about the world of the novel in itself, how it is geographically, politically, and socially, as well as how Mana, abilities and such works in this world. Maybe it is intentional and I just didn't get it, maybe not, either way it is really a shame the author didn't indulged in fourth wall explanation for us, readers, a chapter dedicated to it or a lesson the characters would've had to endure during their academic days would've done the job. Anyway it is what it is. As the novel progress it gets better, and better, we get a clearer view of the world and the stakes of this story being unfold before our very eyes. The rare complaints I had in the earlier stages being rectified, and each word, phrase, paragraph sucking you harder into the tale of Dean Carleon and his entourage, you can never get enough. A tale which will left you mesmerized. Secondly, we have the updating stability, which seems quite bad. This novel has his flaws but it is one masterpiece rarely seen, not perfect as nothing can be, but definitely nearing it, I can't get enough of it. That's why I fear after many weeks of not updating, the author will drop it like what happened to his previous serie, his new book leaving worry as it could very well be a surrogate for this one. I hope it is not the case but it could very well be. This inconsistent updating, the constant fear of being dropped, it's the only reason I didn't gave it a five star rating, as the others “negative points” as set backs, are everything but major.
