Synopsis

I woke up in this world with a System and a sword. Without hesitation, I chose to complete the princess’ quest with my weapons: Arrogance. Cunning. Pride. I will lead guild Sol Invictus. Denizens of the 7 hells, respect me. Servants of the 11 heavens, know fear. Guild Invictus, know the suffering of training so you can wrest victory from the jaws of those who dare doubt you. This is a story about a snake named Tycondrius waking up in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery. There is action, violence, unapologetic murder, and arrogant displays of power. There is an emphasis on combat growth as well as psychological growth on more than a few members of Guild Invictus. There is camaraderie and also the inevitable comedic dialogue amongst manly men. There are even elements of romance and Tycon running away from terrifying, powerful women. (Did you know most female snakes eat their partners after mating?) Give this book a read. I hope some of these stories can inspire you to fight your battles with analytical intelligence, heroic courage, and ruthless lethality. Work is completed as of 9May2024. There's also a few side-stories written in Chapter 1151! The Author is working on a new story called 'I Wish You Were Never Reborn.' After four or so years of writing, my skills have much improved. Highly recommend. Here is my discord: https://discord.gg/NNbAj7N Constructive criticism and corrections welcome. Other Authors extra-welcome.

Path of the Extra

After a tragic accident that claimed the lives of his parents and little sister, Leo, just 17 years old, found himself shouldering all responsibilities alone. By some miracle, he survived the past four months on his own—attending high school, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and enduring sympathetic gazes that pained him. The only respite he found was in books, which offered him an escape and some semblance of joy. One day, while engrossed in the book 'Path of Heroes: Battle Against the End,' his life took an unexpected turn. Halfway through the story, he inexplicably found himself transmigrated into the world of Path of Heroes, inhabiting the body of Azriel Crimson—a character never mentioned in the story's first half. An extra. Someone seemingly irrelevant to the plot. Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—fate had other plans, and Leo soon discovered that being a mere extra was not his destiny after all. -------------------------------------- Character illustrations will be available on Discord.

Reincarnated With A Summoning System

Being sucked into a fantasy world that nobody leaves doesn't sound half bad to Cain. He was a high school dropout with a drinking problem, living off disability due to his poor health, so it's not like he had much to lose except a few faithful friends he didn't talk to enough. After a long night of drinking, Cain wakes up looking at what he believes to be the character creation screen of one of his beloved virtual reality games, but with no recollection of having purchased it. His unwitting choice to use the Random Character Creation option, unaware that the choice would be irreversible, sends him into this new world as a Puppet Master, a Summoning based class nobody else in the starting zone has ever heard of. But as he soon realizes, this is no game, him and hundreds of others have been brought to another world with no instructions, no clear goals and no way home. It's a second chance to live a good life, but what will Cain be able to make of it?

Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts.  However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew.  Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack.  There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree.  “Let the war begin.”

The best way to describe this novel for me would be, a more bloody, gory and dark version of konosuba. The main character reincarnates in the body of the current guild leader of Invictus, a member of the Medusa race, and with some fragmented memories of his new body. And he has only a system ( with no personality or system store with stupid quests, thank God) to inform him of the names of the people around him, and there status and hostility level. And apparently it can analyse and copy the skills and abilities of other people and creatures...? I love the character design of this novel, the characters in this novel feel more 'alive', the enemies aren't evil for the sake of being evil, they each have there own personalities, with there own motivations, ambitions and dreams. There are however some problems, for example, the lack of explanation of how the power system works, how magic works, the difference between the races in this world, etc... Like, it's fine if everything isn't explained to the last detail. But at least having a more detailed explanation about the race of the main character, the Medusa race, and about is strength, like, sometimes he looks super powerful and other times weak, tho he looks more like an assassin for the most part, maybe that's why. One thing in this novel is the, sometimes, excessive pov change, like, you can pass 5 or more chapters following the other characters going throught aventures and life or death battles, finding love, etc... . And you start wondering if the main character started hibernating or something. Don't get me wrong, the pov changes aren't bad and are very good even. It's just they are to God damn long, and when one ends, another starts. And that can be very frustrating, especially when you what to know the background and abilities of the main character. All in all, it's a great story. :-)

A wonderful tale of a bastard in charge of a guild of cut throat mercenaries, any one of which in polite society would be strung up and beaten with a stick. From comical misha** of a cowardly warrior forcefully conscripted to a plushie loving one eyed berserker woman, from a towering crude titanblood to a happy go lucky eldritch horror associating warlock, from a wonderfully lewd demonic woman to a horse wanted for murder. There's no end to original characters who are funnier, crazier and down right entertaining from their first introductions to their exits stage right. Read this book if you want anti heroes, scheming bastards, an MC who is a male medusa and an author who brings all these inglorious bastards to life with seeming ease and no end of flare!

Now that I have caught up with the story and have been following it religiously since, I got something else to say: This is the only webnovel I deem worthy of support from the entire lot(I hope to find more, but the amount of garbage makes it nigh impossible). Even compared to actuall fantasy books that take years to write(from writers like Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, R.A. Salvatore... you get the point) this is almost on the same playing field. However, you cant compare a novella written on a daily basis without much review with the biggest fantasy writers of the 21st century. It would be unfair and stupid, and yet this work is relentlessly grasping at the feet of such giants and the quality reflects that. As I keep reading, the story only keeps getting better, the characters more interesting, and the worldbuilding more believable. Even with all the pop-culture and meta refferences, this work keeps surprising. It easily brings you from ceasless bellowing laughter, to a serious atmosphere and it even throws freshly cut onions at your face(definitely not crying, ots the onion). Can't give the writer enough praise, and while marginally subjective, my opinion allows me to rate this webnovel 11/10. **: This is my second review and I don't care if its illegal to post more than one.

A beautiful bard with a seductive gaze A bloodthirsty brute wielding a giant ax And a skillful fighter just pissed...himself....wait...hold up...omg is he???..is he crying???? This basically sums up this convoluted ragtag group of mercenaries that Tycon ends up leading. Imagine all the Isenkai anime you have seen after the popularity of Sword Art Online and combine it with a chaotic nature of a Dungeon and Dragons game, and this...ladies and gentlemen is what you end up with. Funny and Memorable moments: Check Bloody Gore and Acts of Violence: Check Overpowered Isenkai character with an A.I assistant to give you world exposition for any questions you may have: DAMN Straight I love this novel and what it has to offer. It is definitely worth the read.

I'll be direct. Love the work, don't understand why it doesn't have more views, want more of these kinds of novels. So many people who are writing "reborn in a new world with a system" have ****ty grammar, nonsensical wish fulfilment storylines and stupid plot developments. I dont understand why they have 10s or 100s of times more views than this. Now, with my rant out of the way, I'll give my grade to boost the novels rating as a straight 5, and give some of my selfish opinionated thoughts. I have only read somewhat after ch70, but in my self entitled opinion, that is enough to judge. Writing quality - Hey, it's real English. Meaning there are no typos or stupid grammar or horribly translated, out of context sentences. And oh my god thank you for no repeating, overused and unimaginative descriptions like "it was like the difference between heaven and earth". Story development - Somewhat irregular, but not in a bad way. The important parts that you want to read are well detailed and narrated. The combat, the encounters, character interactions etc. The tedious things like battle aftermath or uneventful traning are sorted out in a few paragraphs. Character design - Interesting, strong(personality), and loveable characters. Or hateable depends on what floats ur boat. The speech patterns between the character are easily recognisable and consistent. World background - Didn't get much of it so far, but what I did, I liked. Introduced Countries/kingdoms/empires seem interesting and promising, and the world seems to slowly be coming alive. I still don't have any idea about the world's geography, like the amount of continents, world size or climate for that matter(other than it seems to constantly be cold. Maybe its winter idunno). But hey, neither do most Americans about earth(Ha). No offense, just stereotypeing. Overall, quite an enjoyable read and much more deserving than most of the trash on the top charts, and with better writing quality. Save a few. Hey, I said that I'd be direct, not quick.

I very much enjoy reading every single chapter of this novel. If I had to point out why I'm enjoying it that much, I'd reply "D&D". The world building, character design/development and the FEEL just reminds me of an awsome D&D session headed by an awsome DM. If you are looking for a novel with great but oftentimes dark humour, like a violently intelligent MC who, although with prior experience, has a snake's outlook on human society and just overall enjoy stories based on a party rather than an individual, YOU MUST READ THIS.

This is one of the best novels I've stumbled upon in a very long time. I highly recommend it!! I love the originality of the story, it is very engaging and the writing is excellent. The characters are unique and I enjoy how they interact with each other. My favorite is Tycon, so I think I'm starting a fan club, although I am not sure he would like that lol. The Author does an amazing job keeping the story interesting and his sense of humor cracks me up. Keep up the good work Author!!!

This is the 69th review, how auspicious. The story is very good and must be written by a very handsome, well-adjusted person. It's about a snake, a most magnificent creature, who disguises himself as a human through magic. Being a human is confusing, of course, and the first parts of the story is about adjusting to his dumb slightly-more-human allies and trying to make them successful. Once he figures more things out, he kills people he doesn't like, and lives his best life. Hopefully, everyone lives happily ever after, from there. It tends to never work out perfectly-- probably because humans are involved.

Awesome action scenes, great dialogue. Absolutely hilarious story. I loved reading this, it is fast paced, and action packed. I enjoyed the author's use of humor, and was surprised by how detailed the scenes were. I full heartedly reccomend reading this if you like fantasy/action or dark humor. (For some reason my phone wanted to change humor to humour everytime I tried to type it up... 🙄 Just another reason no one should use spellcheck for the final edit 😣)

Sooo... How do I say this... I f*ucking love this! It's pure comedy gold (mostly incredibly stupid humor, but that's exactly what makes it this good!). To be fair it's a bit wobbly in the beginning but don't mind that, besides somehow it works even tho the story doesn't explain to much (I recommend reading the author notes and the authors comments, there's some worldbackgroud info in there, maybe the author could compose one or two auxiliary chapters for those Infos?). But the worldbackgroud, powerscaling etc. Isn't really that important because this book is a lot like the anime 'konosuba'. In the sense the the characters and their interactions are in the foreground, and the humor. Then again it is a lot darker than konosuba. I still haven't completely made up my mind about this but I very much enjoy reading this story! So keep up the good work author! And to everyone else, I hope I could help you get a better picture of the novel with my ramblings. Sorry for any messed up english, not my first language. Yours sincerely Korriberg

Awesome book. Why? Because👇 1. Amazing grammar. Not like all the other stuff on Webnovel where you can’t understand a word and everyone seems to just ignore it. 2. The structure of the story and the buildup is just wonderful. 3. Consistent updates, an author in the know and real depth to the characters. Do you need more than that? Do you!? No! You don’t!! Why? Because I say so!

This story is wonderful! If you love TRPGs you should get a kick out of this. Just try to leave your preconceptions of a fantasy world behind. Some common stereotypes fit, while many are lacking. The author does a wonderful job of world building, and an even better job of balancing humor and cold violence. the only part of this i even thought about not giving full marks too is writing quality, and only because there were a few minor typos through out. After thinking more I decided that there is only so much perfection you can expect from a novel published on a daily basis with no editor. All in all a perfect web novel and one I am willing to spend all my coin on. Death to the enemies of Invictus!

Maybe someone will like it, but I did not appreciate the book. After reading the synopsis, I expected to see a book with serious characters and a story, but in the end I got a collection of not the most interesting jokes. Indeed, the synopsis talks about humor, but I did not expect such a presentation, where every f***ng sentence is a joke.
