I Became The Pope, Now What?

Johnathan, an old man with an extraordinary past but an ordinary end, gets reincarnated in a dark fantasy world full of magic, darkness, and mysteries furled. However, he committed a grave blunder by taking the fiction he had read as a reference. Reborn as a baby, he hoped to be deemed gifted by speaking early. One thing led to another, and tragedy struck. The villagers declared him a demon-possessed and called the church. Johnathan, now known as Sylvester Maximilian, realized that he had messed up. When the church's inquisitors came to judge him and burn him on a pyre. As a last resort and to welcome his soon to arrive second death, he started chanting holy hymns as his last breath. Overwhelmed, they kneeled, thinking he was a messenger of Solis. From there, the story of how Sylvester Maximilian rose through the ranks to sit at the top began. But his life won't be ordinary, as he uses his cunning and the tag of 'God's favored' to his advantage. Fighting treachery, unearthing secret plots and world mysteries, facing the darkness around him and creating his place in history, engraving his name in the annals to be forever remembered as the—Immortal Pope, The Young. [A/N: To not mislead you, the novel's name does not mean he instantly becomes the Pope from the start. The story will follow the life of MC. Though he will become the Pope at a pretty young age. 40% of the novel will be based around MC fighting to sit on the supreme throne.

I Am Tired Of Being A Hero

“Have you ever wished that a truck would hit you and you would transmigrate into a world filled with swords and magic? Perhaps you wished that you would be a hero, defeating the villains, protecting the land, and receiving all sorts of admiration and love from the people. I would give you one piece of advice. Perish that thought.” -Ravi West *** Ravi West was a hero of indisputable esteem. As a Sentinel, he traveled the Realms, killing villains and saving entire civilizations. His job was everything to him. Until Luxor. Luxor changed everything. Luxor changed him. Ravi was done. The tiredness etched into his bones. He laid down his mantle and vanished. He chose the most boring planet in his memory for his retirement, except this Earth was not like the one he remembered- Nests, monsters, superheroes, and villains filled the streets but that was not his business. He has a plan, a quiet, uncaring life filled with wine, food, and books. But the New Captain at the Bureau seemed to enjoy shattering all his carefully laid plans. He was the most annoying person Ravi had ever met, blonde hair, the most beautiful blue eyes, and a sunny smile, the righteous Arlen Sinclair constantly got involved in cases much bigger than him, dragging Ravi along into his Shenanigans. And like that was not enough. His perfect, quiet(everyone thinks it is haunted) neighborhood suddenly welcomed new occupants. A base for the notorious villain organization, Axum was suddenly built opposite his house and the occupants decided to get to know their new neighbor. Climbing over his walls, shapeshifting into his favourite mug, hiding puzzles for him to find at work.

A strom so cynical

A Vampire’s Caregiver

[Mature Content] "Everly, I know you can't hear me...but, will you reject me if I tell you how I truly feel?" His calm cynical tone sounded. ...... Twenty-five-year-old Everly Eloise, a pure-blooded orphan werewolf, is hired by a wealthy man who suddenly needs a caregiver.   She accepted the job, but one thing she didn’t anticipate was his monstrous side. The side of him that the media never showed, or at least never even knew of.   Valerio Avalanzo was a wealthy European man who was betrayed by his lover, leaving him in a condition that he very well hid from the entire world.   The incident caused him to drastically change. He became cold-hearted, feared by most, unsociable, emotionless, and, worst of all, developed a deep hatred for the word "love."   For a man who was blind and held such deep hatred for love, it was believed that he was emotionally incapable of loving anyone, therefore leaving the world with this perception of him.   But what happens when he meets Everly Eloise, his caregiver?   Will his heart win, or will his hatred for love win? And what happens when he discovers that Everly is not just his caregiver but a werewolf as well? The creatures that have been an enemy of his kind for centuries? And, was their encounter decided by fate or maybe it's a given chance? A chance given to each of their hearts to heal? ______ This book is in a contest! Please give your full support.

Cynic's Second Wind: DxD Chronicle

Debochado e alexitímico: esse era meu antigo eu, vivendo uma existência marcada pela indiferença e cinismo. Minha morte, tão degradante quanto a vida que levei, deveria ter sido um fim, um descanso eterno que, no meu ponto de vista, seria mais do que suficiente. No entanto, parece que os céus tinham planos diferentes – ou talvez, apenas um senso de humor extremamente cruel. Com o que deveria ter sido meu último suspiro, veio, para minha surpresa e desagrado, um novo fôlego de vida. Renascido em um mundo onde magia, demônios, anjos e entidades caídas não são meros produtos de contos fantásticos, mas uma realidade tangível e perigosa, aqui estou eu, reencarnado como um humano comum. Perdido neste estranho novo mundo, uma pergunta persiste, martelando incessantemente em minha mente: Por que eu não pude simplesmente permanecer morto? Qual é o propósito de ser arrancado do nada para ser jogado de volta à existência, e em um lugar tão absurdamente surreal quanto este? Por que, de todos os destinos possíveis, eu tive que reencarnar? Prepare-se para uma saga onde o sobrenatural e o humor negro coexistem, onde poderes, artefatos, criaturas místicas e personagens oriundos de diversos animes e mangás farão suas aparições. No entanto, no cerne desta narrativa enigmática e irreverente, encontramo-nos imersos no universo de High School DxD. Embarque nesta jornada desconcertante e, por vezes, hilariante, enquanto eu tento desvendar o mistério por trás de minha inexplicável reencarnação.

Cynic’s Second Wind: DxD Chronicle - English version

Sarcastic and alexithymic: that was my former self, living a life marked by indifference and cynicism. My death, as degrading as the life I led, should have been the end, an eternal rest which, in my view, would have been more than sufficient. However, it seems that the heavens had different plans - or perhaps, they just possessed an extremely cruel sense of humor. With what should have been my last breath came, to my surprise and dismay, a new lease on life. Reborn in a world where magic, demons, angels, and fallen entities are not mere products of fantasy tales but a tangible and dangerous reality, here I am, reincarnated as an ordinary human. Lost in this strange new world, one question persistently hammers away at my mind: Why couldn’t I have simply remained dead? What's the purpose of being pulled from the void only to be thrown back into existence, and into a place as absurdly surreal as this? Why, of all possible fates, did I have to be reincarnated? Prepare yourself for a saga where the supernatural and dark humor coexist, where powers, artifacts, mystical creatures, and characters from various animes and mangas make their appearances. However, at the heart of this enigmatic and irreverent narrative, we find ourselves immersed in the universe of High School DxD. Embark on this disconcerting and often hilarious journey as I attempt to unravel the mystery behind my inexplicable reincarnation.
