Tóm tắt

Lassen, a young man who has failed at everything in his life, has had enough. Disillusioned with the world, he decides to end it all. But instead of dying, he wakes up in a parallel world, armed with a strange system that can accomplish anything he desires. Trapped in his room, reading novels and savoring every page, he has no intention of participating in the fast-paced world outside. Yet, despite his desire for peace, the world changes every time he makes an appearance. Everyone treats him like a genius, a being capable of disrupting the very fabric of reality, without lifting a finger. A powerful system, a new life, and a world that adapts to him: why complicate things when you can have everything without effort? The Genius System tells the story of a man who, although having everything to change the world, prefers to watch it evolve from the comfort of his room, through the pages of his books.

Chapter 1One Less

December 31st

While everyone else spent this festive season with their families, eagerly awaiting the New Year and making new resolutions, a young man in his twenties sat on the roof of a building. The cold wind blew across the empty streets below, silent, only lit by the tired streetlights. In the distance, the laughter and music from the celebrations rose faintly, like a melody from a world he no longer belonged to.

He clutched an empty pack of cheap cigarettes in his hand and stood up slowly. His fingers, numb from the cold, trembled slightly.

— Well... There's no point in staying here any longer. I'm officially broke.

The young man's name was Lassen, an orphan who had spent almost his entire life in foster care. He had never been particularly brilliant, nor terrible—just... average at everything he did. After turning 18, he had been forced to leave the foster home and live on his own. Despite state assistance and renting a small studio, he never really managed to get his life together.

A bitter laugh escaped his lips. He remembered his first days as a "free" adult. He had thought freedom would be sweet, that he would finally be the hero of his own story, like the characters in the novels he devoured. But reality had been very different. Freedom came with a price: loneliness, despair, failure.

He closed his eyes for a moment, listening to the heavy silence around him. Every breath was a painful reminder of his insignificance.

All he ever wanted was to stay home and read novels. His obsession with reading had gotten him fired from several jobs. He would hide in dark corners to read, unable to resist the call of the stories, the worlds where he could escape. With each firing, he promised himself to do better... but reality always took over.

Today, his landlord had thrown him out after six months of unpaid rent. He could still remember the disdainful look the man had given him that morning.

— You're really a good-for-nothing, kid. If you don't change, you'll end up under a bridge.

Those words echoed in his head, more painful than the cold wind biting through his worn-out clothes.

He looked at the empty streets below. Maybe he could... call someone? But who? He had no one left. He had had "friends" at the foster home, but they had all disappeared, caught up in their own lives. Once, he had thought about calling the social worker, but he had held back. She had done her job. He wasn't her problem anymore.

He thought of the box of books he had left in his studio, the only thing he had ever truly owned. They were probably already thrown in the trash. The thought hurt more than anything else.

At exactly midnight, as fireworks lit up the sky and the New Year began, Lassen glanced one last time at his phone. A bitter smile crossed his lips.

— As expected... Who would wish a Happy New Year to someone like me? I didn't even get the automatic message from the phone company. Hahahaha...

He looked up at the sky, then closed his eyes, murmuring to himself:

— One less burden for this world...

For a moment, he hesitated, memories flooding his mind. He saw the foster home's dormitory, the few friends he had made, the books he had loved so much. A small voice whispered that maybe, somewhere, someone would remember him. But that thought vanished as quickly as it came.

Yet, deep down, another thought persisted, stubborn. What if there was still a chance? A miracle, a reason... But where could he find it? He opened his eyes and stared at the distant lights, searching for a sign, anything. Nothing. The void responded to the void.

With a determined step, he plunged into the void.

Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"If you intended to die anyway, don't die quietly like a pussy! Go out in a fucking blaze of glory!" That was the statement that changed my world forever. I was a loser in life. I died and got reincarnated into a Revenant. Revenants were people who defended the living from the dead. In exchange for a second life, they had one task and were blessed with one cheat ability. The task? To kick as much zombie ass as possible. Unfortunately, my cheat just made me "Rewind". It didn't give me super strength, speed or the ability to fly. Hell, it didn't even give me a way to fight! Without any way to kill zombies, I nearly died on my first day on the job! Back then I remember crying and puking all over the place like a little bitch. But while I started out like a little bitch, I didn't stay one. Dying full of regrets changed me you see. So much so that I made a promise. I refused to repeat my mistakes when I was human. Reborn as a Revenant, I will never bow down to anyone ever again. Unfortunately, these Revenant bastards were old school. Like they hacked zombies with swords and all that crap old school. As a man born in the USA, I saw no reason why I needed to follow their outdated way of thinking. The modern world had the superpower of gun powder and lead. So instead of swords, I came after every zombie I saw with guns. Like countries in the middle east, I proceeded to blow the motherfuckers to kingdom come. And surprisingly because of "Rewind", I found out I could never run out of ammunition. $200 for each kill. Hefty bonus for each area of hell liberated. What scared normal people shitless suddenly allowed me to earn millions every day. The richer I got the more "Freedom" I could unleash! Mortars, tanks, air strikes to even nukes. Backed by modern science and technology, I slowly but surely drove the undead back. Along the way, I met and saved seven heavenly beauties. And all of them fell in love with me. They were a little obsessive, scratch that, they were all fucking insane. My precious harem was comprised of nothing but Yanderes in every sense of the word. Still, I would willingly burn the entire world for any of them. For when I called, only my battle harem answered. And that was even before I learned of another secret. Exchanging bodily fluids with my girls gave me their cheats. Suddenly, in contrast to every Revenant in the world who only had one, I alone wielded eight. One from each girl plus my own. And so unfolded my 2nd life. Which eventually became my legend. Who am I you ask? I was born as John Smith. But these days not even my girls use that name. Both on Earth and in Hell everyone else just calls me Limitless. And I am the Strongest Revenant. *************************** Author Notes: Harem size: 7 | No NTR | No Yuri | No Grape Novel Focus: Action, Adventure, Urban Fantasy, Reincarnation, Dark, Weak to Strong, Battle Harem, Beautiful Heroines, YANDERE Heroine, Military, Loyal Subordinates, Kingdom Building, War, Politics, Conspiracies, Overpowered, Face Slapping, Tragedy, Character Development, Multiple POVs, Betrayal, Alternate Realities, Demons, Zombies, Superpowers, Tower Climbing, Tower Defense, Wish fulfillment.
