概要

"I hate clichés," I mutter under my breath, frustration etching lines on my face as I stare at yet another overused plot blowing up on the website of the novel I'm publishing. It's a constant cycle of disappointment for me, with no viewers, no readers, and certainly no feedback. In other words, I'm a failed author, stuck in a rut of uninspired storytelling. I can't quite recall when my disdain for cliché tropes first took root, but one thing is for certain— I found myself reincarnated into another world after an unfortunate encounter with a truck. Typical, right? I die in a cliché manner and end up in a whole new reality. "Damn it, I had to go and die in a cliché way too!" I grumble, shaking my head at the irony of it all. But this time, I have a new name, a new body, and even magical powers to boot. I'm now known as Helis, and this is my chance at a fresh start. After hearing the name of the world I had reincarnated into, Crisyes, I realized it was the world of the novel I had only written the concept about. It seems I've been thrust into the world that is on its last living decades. The details elude me, but I'm certain of one thing—this world is on a collision course with chaos. What I didn't anticipate, however, were the lingering threads of my previous life, the invisible connections that bind me to Earth. These mysterious [Story] strings will come back to haunt me, weaving a web of uncertainty and challenges that I'll have to navigate sooner or later. I may despise clichés, but little did I know that I would become entangled in a story far beyond my control. It's a tale where my past and present collide, and only time will reveal the true extent of its consequences. ------Notice------ THE STORY WILL TAKE TIME TO BUILD! Yes, it will start as a normal reincarnation story with cliché elements and cringe events, but the energy will shift at the last chapter of the first volume. The story will focus more on the development of the characters and world-building, not just, "Wow, found a golden cup which I'll drink from and become immortal." No, I will make it as realistic as possible, especially the characters. Oh, and the mc has a knack to trigger cliché events, that's one of the reasons he hates them. If you care about horny chapters, they do happen but later on when the time is right. That's it here, please support me through this journey, and most importantly: Enjoy!

Chapter 1Prologue

Let's begin, my name is Rin Morgan, your average dude who became a shut-in after being bullied throughout all his school years.

I don't have a high drive for anything, relatively, nothing at all.

I stay cooped up in my room, watch anime, and read comics and novels.

Well, it used to be like that till I came across writing, which I realized I had an aptitude for.

"Whoa, it's kind of exciting to become an author," I voiced with anticipation noticeable in my tone.

I stretched my arms out, cracked my fingers, and finally got to clicking and clacking away at my laptop.

***

Months passed and I saw little to no progress, none of my works would blow up. I was just adding goods to an unused stock.

I still managed to make a little amount of money from each book, but having no readers was a real buzzkill.

"Why do all my novels flop when these overused tropes are blowing up so much? I even used them in one of my novels and it still failed. Does this site hate me?!" I complained while itching my scalp, needing a break from all this.

"Hm?" My eyes darted in the direction of my window, the blinds were closed off, making my room darkened like this for the past few years.

"How many months has it been since I've gone out?" I wondered to myself, as I decided to wear something decent.

I am the epitome of failure: A school dropout, I don't help my mother with anything, and I don't have a girlfriend, nor an actual job that is consistent with its payments, the same goes for friends.

My mother probably feels guilty, since she is Japanese, whereas my dead father was your usual American, so, having an Asian name and body features really incited the kids to bully me, making me a social outcast.

That's probably why she allowed me to live like this, hell even offered money to me that I've been indulging in for the past years.

"I must work on myself… I want to be a stronger, kinder man." I said my resolution for this year out loud as I grabbed the handle of the door.

I began huffing as my heart thumped against my ribcage, "C'mon, Rin, you've been gathering motivation for two weeks now, I mustn't fail again!" I said words of encouragement out loud to particularly no one but myself.

"Here goes nothing!"

I closed my eyes and pushed down the handle, "Erm… this was it?" I felt the soft gusts of wind washing over me, "What an anti-climatic event."

The rest wasn't anything special, I went to the convenience store near my house and got an ice cream and a soda.

I softly peeled the wrapping off while relishing the contentment for what I was about to taste.

"Well then, thank you for the treat–" I shifted my head to the side.

"Pf–" I just scoffed.

Talk about pathetic, I was a failure all my life, and now, I'm also about to die in an overused trope.

I thought as a crashing truck was approaching me with a speed I couldn't avoid.

I really hate clichés.

My eyes flashed white and I couldn't hear or see anymore.

Damn it, I wish I wouldn't die a virgin at least.

Don't look at me like that, you're one of my kind too… probably.

I wish I had felt some boobs too, during this empty life I have gone through.

My thoughts faded and just a simple ring followed me in darkness.

This darkness was kind of comforting, honestly, it gave me a sense of assurance that I lacked during my shut-in days.

"Oh?" I tried to voice when I began seeing a light.

Is this what they call the light at the end of the tunnel? I questioned myself inwardly.

"Congratulations, sir, madam, it's a healthy boy."

Oh, that was the vagina.

Wait… I've been reborn?

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR
