Chapter 1Welcome... to the Guardian Academy

"Welcome to the Guardian Academy," the voice boomed, resonating with a calculated elegance that demanded attention.

"This venerable institution is not a sanctuary for the faint-hearted. Here, you will face challenges that defy comprehension, adversities that will either shatter you or forge you into something extraordinary. Among the students of this Academy, there exist only two categories: the Exceptional and the Forgotten."

The speaker's gaze swept over the assembly.

"You stand here today not because you have proven yourselves worthy, but because you have been granted a rare opportunity—a chance to justify the seat you now occupy. Many of you have arrived through favors, lineage, or sheer fortune. Let me assure you, none of those will sustain you for long. Here, merit reigns supreme. To endure, you must earn your place and defend it with every fiber of your being."

The silence thickened as the next words fell like a gavel.

"In one month, the preliminary evaluations will determine your fate within these esteemed institution. Prepare wisely, for your actions will dictate the course of your lives. May fortune favor the diligent."

...

...

A young man strode down the corridor, his steps measured and deliberate. His hair, a silken cascade of blueish-white, partially obscured his downcast eyes of ashen gray. His uniform—a pristine white shirt beneath an oxblood blazer, paired with impeccably tailored trousers—was incomplete. He had dispensed with the tie and sleeveless cardigan, a silent rebellion that rendered him conspicuous amidst the sea of regulation-bound first-years.

"Hey."

The voice was sharp, tinged with arrogance, cutting through his introspection. He halted, lifting his gaze to find a student lounging casually on the staircase. The boy's companions, similarly attired but far less disciplined in appearance, flanked him.

The blue-haired youth sighed inwardly.

'Even like this, I still scream 'easy target,' don't I?'

[What did you expect? You think dressing down disguises weakness?] a mocking voice interjected in his mind.

'Don't distract me, please'

"I said, come here," the seated boy commanded, his tone brooking no defiance. The group began to move closer, their predatory intent palpable.

"And why should I?" the young man replied coolly, shoving his hands into his pockets as he locked eyes with the leader. His tone was one of detached indifference, a calculated defense.

[Brilliant. Poke the hornet's nest. That'll work.]

I'll deal with them. Just stay quiet.

The group's smirks widened at his audacity.

"Oh, you've got nerve," the leader said, rising from his perch. The lackeys began to close in.

"Do you think acting aloof will make you less of a target?" the leader sneered.

'Tsk. I really need to rethink this strategy,' the young man thought, his annoyance masked by an indifferent expression.

One of the lackeys grabbed him roughly. "You don't know your place, do you?" he hissed, before delivering a sharp blow.

The punch landed hard, and the young man stumbled, biting back a curse.

"Do you even know who I am?!" the leader bellowed, his voice dripping with arrogance.

"Boss," one of them muttered, his raven-black hair gleaming under the hallway lights.

"What?" the leader snapped, irritation evident.

"He's… a Level 1," the lackey said, his tone dripping with disbelief.

'Damn it! This useless Meta-watch! Why is the User's level the default display?!' 

A hush fell over the group before one of them broke into laughter.

"Level 1? Those still exist?"

The leader sneered, his expression twisting with mockery. "A Level 1 dared to act bold in front of me?" He walked towards the young man, his lackeys stepping aside to give him space.

"Teach him a lesson," he ordered. "And take every last point he has."

The lackeys grinned maliciously, their fists tightening.

[This is your chance. Merge with it already.]

'No.'

The blue-haired boy remained silent, his head bowed as if in resignation.

"Tsk." The leader clicked his tongue. "I was in a good mood today. I would've gone easy on you—taken maybe a hundred points. But now? You'll regret ever stepping foot in this Academy."

Blow after blow rained down. The young man didn't cry out. He refused to give them the satisfaction. But as darkness crept into the edges of his vision, one thought lingered in his mind.

'I hate this fucking world,'

When he woke, the world was cold. He groaned, pushing himself up from the tiled floor. His body ached with every movement.

"Those bastards," he muttered, clenching his fists. "They took everything."

He glanced around. The hallway was dark and deserted. Night had fallen, and with it came another problem.

'I missed curfew,' he realized bitterly.

He chuckled dryly, leaning his head back against the wall. No one had intervened. Dozens of students had walked by, but not one had spared him a second glance.

"It's every man for himself here," he whispered to the empty corridor.

[You're foolish. How long will you keep letting your emotions control you? Merge with it already and stop all this stupidity.]

'I told you, I'm not using that cursed power,' he retorted silently.

The voice faded, leaving him alone with his thoughts.

"Sigh. Just a little more rest," he muttered to himself, lying back down. The coldness of the floor seeped into his bones, but he didn't care.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... Disclaimer: I'd received a few complaints from some readers that my MC is not a real villain, and I have to agree; if you're looking for some complete psycho MC who burns random farmer villages down just for fun then don't read. The MC is a ruthless man who does evil things from time to time, but only to his enemies or those he considers to be true scum. He gains no joy from tormenting strangers. Also don't read if you want a story about buying s*x slaves and r*ping them, that doesn't happen in this novel. He will treat the women he wants to be with as if they were normal people, whether they're slaves or not.

Ok I am gonna give it straight First 30 chapters almost garbage from a readers perspective Are they important to the story? Yes very important. They set an important framework for the whole story. The story after that is quite enjoyable, I binge read all the way until I caught up with the story. The reason I have such disdain for the first 30 chapters is that, we as the readers have no context , who is Ryan? Asmodius? What blessing? Who is the girl? Why every girl wants to hit Ryan? I really wished I had clear info abt this story construction from the synopsis. Also the synopsis dosent really cover the actual of the story at all. Good thing abt the story is that the writing quality is pretty decent, unless there is major info dump. There is enough intrigue to hook the reader. I concept of the book is quite intresting. Some problems I would say are that there are too many characters introduced too early and at once. As a result everyone has a shallow personality. Currently only 2 people in the story have a proper personality: Ryan and Arian. Other than everyone else is superficial. Also this is clearly not a villain novel yet, bad marketing is never good. Some recommendations(you know best author, these are just personal opinions) More slice of life chapters: like mc and Selenea went on a ‘date’. You could have taken this aspect slow. Give us more perspective on what he is feeling which walking with her, them asking questions about each other. Maybe it will actually give an idea why Ryan started falling in love with Selena cause all I see is he got forced to say she is is gf, she bullied him into going places, she life when he complements her. Another thing I would say is add a few filler chapters, this adds on to the Slice of life aspect. Like mc talking abt the sword he got or a chapter abt him finding out that the fairy is enslaved by the earring. I am just saying the story does not need to go from one bug event to the next. You can slow down a bit and build the world. Also dial down the annoyingness of the mc. He has experience of 20+ years due to his 2 life’s. He dosent need to act childish or immature when talking with every single character. I would also appreciate chapter from other chapters pov(not too many but enough to give an idea) Again I am not saying the story is bad. I am just saying it is not refined enough to reach his full potential.
