Reformation: Southern Knight

In a world where magic thrives and mythical beasts lurk in the shadows, Tohgi Akura is born into the unforgiving southern district of Vandekar—a lawless land ruled by bandits and plagued by poverty. Despite his humble beginnings, Tohgi harbours an audacious dream: to achieve recognition not for himself but for the overlooked and downtrodden people of his homeland. To realize this dream, he must become a Knight, a title synonymous with honour, power, and nobility. Tohgi’s raw talent rivals the elite, but his lack of noble heritage leaves him scorned by the privileged. Yet, his unwavering determination and resilience catch the attention of influential figures who see potential in the unrefined boy. With their guidance, Tohgi rises through the ranks, challenging a society built to keep people like him in the dirt. However, ambition has its price. As Tohgi carves his path toward greatness, his defiance of the status quo ignites conflicts that spiral into devastating wars. In his quest to protect those he loves and uphold his ideals, Tohgi must grapple with the weight of his choices and the sacrifices demanded by his legacy. The Journey of Tohgi Akura: 1. The Knight’s Path. 2. A Knight’s Dilemma. 3. Terrorist’s Mirror. 4. The Dark Truth. 5. National War. 6. Rise of the South. 7. The World Engulfed. Tohgi’s brilliance and strength make him a natural leader, but his journey is defined by contradiction. His moral ambiguity, reliance on intellect, and tendency to isolate himself complicate his path. Beneath his unyielding exterior lies a man burdened by the pain of his people and the weight of his choices. As he battles societal rejection and his inner demons, Tohgi’s story asks: Will he be remembered as a hero… a tyrant… or… just another man? Tohgi’s Odyssey is a tale of ambition, loyalty, and the unrelenting cost of dreams—a story of a boy’s rise from the shadows of poverty to the heights of power, and the tumultuous legacy he leaves behind. Do not hesitate to comment your thoughts at any point in the story, it would bring me great joy to be able to interact with readers of my work. I hope to see you on the other side. PS: Bold text indicates the use of magic, parenthesis () indicates thought. Thank you! Enjoy! :)

As an evil god, how did I become a savior?

The apocalypse had arrived, and the world had collapsed. Other than zombies, there were also strange monsters filling the ruins. Gu Cheng, who was originally in despair, suddenly had an Evil God Acting Game on his phone. What surprised Gu Cheng even more was that after satisfying the believer's wish, the sacrifice he received actually appeared in front of him. From then on, the barrier between the two worlds was broken. The flesh of ferocious beasts that increased strength, the heavenly and earthly treasures that increased strength, and the cursed items with different abilities appeared in front of Gu Cheng through the sacrifice. The apocalypse was no longer scary. Through the blessing, the believers were given fresh water, thick quilts, and special medicine. The residents of the game who were originally shrouded in darkness were rekindled with a desire for light. A few years later, Gu Cheng's faith had spread throughout the entire game continent. All the believers were grateful to God. Because of him, they could live a peaceful life today… Only then did Gu Cheng realize it. He could not help but mutter, " As an evil god, how did I become a savior?"
