Chapter 1Chapter 1 - Filmed

Coldness all over the body, a strong desire to sleep, but pain all over his face does not allow the young man to fall asleep, of course, this pain is absolutely not comparable to that which he feels on his back. The saddest thing is that when the young man tried to move, he realized that he did not feel anything at all below the belt.

What happened? The young man asked himself the question because just a few seconds ago he spoke to the soldiers. Yes, in fact, in this body of a young man at the moment is the soul of a young lieutenant colonel, who, thanks to his many merits, recently received a new military rank and it was when he was asked to say a few words that he ended up here.

In a moment of despair, he saw a black screen in front of him, and also heard a voice in his head.

[Connecting to host]

[8% .... 13% ... 52% ... 83% .... 100%]

[Connection established]

[Danger, the host is in critical condition, forced treatment initiated]

After this phrase, the young man finally felt his legs, but after that, another round of terrible pain came in the lower part of the body.

If someone watched from the side, they would have seen a child of 4-5 years old, trembling and twitching with his whole body, but besides this, the wound apparently from the sword along the entire back slowly heals, leaving behind only a pool of blood.

[Treatment was successful]

[Initialize memory sync]

[12% .... 23% ... 44% ... 79% .... 100%]

In the eyes of the child, time completely stopped, and after that, it began to slowly unwind in the opposite direction, as if someone on the player was slowly returning the slider to the beginning of the film, gradually accelerating. Already after a couple of seconds, the speed reached enormous values, allowing the child to notice only blinking frames in front of his eyes. As a result, this rewind stopped when the child could see nothing but darkness….

Thus began the short history of this body.

As it turned out, the child was born in a fantasy world where various creatures exist, such as goblins, werewolves, huge beasts, gods, demons, etc. In addition, there is something similar to magic in the world. This child saw a local shaman create a small bright green flame right in his hands. In addition to these small pranks, this shaman told stories that in the south, in large stone "Devilish" structures, the minions of the dark gods live, who, using their dirty heretical prayers, can also perform various dangerous sacraments.

According to him, they steal small children like them and then sacrifice them to their dark gods.

Of course, when the adult soul was looking at these memories, he made the assumption that it was simple propaganda to intimidate the children and strengthen their faith in the "True Gods." But who knows, maybe believers in dark gods really live in the south.

The parents named the child Ivo, in addition to himself, his family also has a younger sister Vesta, mother Cleo, and father Kato.

According to the memoirs of Ivo, warriors also have special abilities in this world. The so-called power of blood, when a warrior waving his weapon stimulates his blood, awakening a particle of the ancients in it, thereby granting the warrior strength, speed, dexterity.

It is quite interesting to watch how his father pierced a stone 5-7 centimeters thick with one hand. As it turned out, his father is quite capable and he often went out with other people to hunt various creatures, when their squad returned, they brought several large carcasses with them, however, as one of the most capable hunters, the shaman passed on the best parts for his family. Therefore, Ivo lived happily with his sister.

His mother also had some success in developing her blood, but still, she preferred herbalism and knowledge, she was also loved in the tribe, because everyone knew that if you have any minor health problems, then it is better not to bother the shaman or his students, and immediately go to the herbalist Cleo.

But to the great misfortune for the traveler between the worlds, although he found himself in the wizarding world, he found himself in a completely backward time. Everyone in his tribe wore leather wraps, in rare cases from the skins of strong creatures, children ran completely naked, flashing their naked asses in front of the whole tribe, but no one paid attention to this at all.

The hunters had a better situation since they received most of the resources, they dressed better, all their families were dressed in more or less decent skins, and for their feet, they knitted primitive sandals from tree bark and leather.

The shaman and his disciples also dressed in something better than simple pieces of hide, also adorning themselves with various bone souvenirs and beautiful stones.

The best situation was with the leader, in order to consolidate his status, he dressed in the best skins obtained from demonic creatures, for example, the current leader Fius was dressed in a bright red skin of a fiery lion with white spots, a necklace of the crystallized eye of a frost imp, and his sandals were lined with swamp viper skin.

In this world, the tribe in which Ivo lives divides creatures into demonic and ordinary. Demonic creatures have some special abilities, they can breathe fire, release lightning, etc. Simple creatures are not capable of doing such special things, but you should not consider them weak, since some of the simple creatures have tremendous strength, comparable to the strength of the best warriors of this tribe.

Finally, the memories of 5-year-old Ivo began to draw closer to their tragic end.

On one sunny day, several hunters decided to teach the kids several survival skills, so having gathered a group of 5 hunters and 5 children, the group went to a safe part of the forest to teach them how to distinguish poisonous berries and fruits from edible ones, how to place traps correctly for catching small creatures such as a fluffy rabbit or a red-eyed squirrel.

In the tribes, naturally, there was not yet a hint of kindergartens, schools, etc. Here children learned everything from their parents, or by following other hunters. However, the hunters of the tribe still realize that subsequent generations must have at least some experience in order not to die in the wild because there are not very many people in the tribe.

While watching a flashback was like watching a long movie, the other soul somehow sensed all of the boy's experience. Therefore, at the moment when the hunters taught them survival skills, the boy felt ecstasy from being in the wild, apparently, he dreamed of becoming the same hunter.

A few hours later, when the children were tired, the hunters decided to return to the tribe, but then suddenly they were attacked by riders on horseback. Unlike the 5 hunters clad in skins and holding simple wooden spears with bone tips, these horsemen were much better dressed, they wore some kind of cloth robes and wore leather sandals.

Unlike the time when the boy studied nature, now he felt unimaginable despair and fear, since the shaman all the time frightened children with scary stories about southerners. Unfortunately, even prayers to the goddess did not help the boy

Holding bronze swords in their hands, these riders very easily dealt with the hunters, and after that, they did not spare the children. So, for example, one of the riders caught up with Ivo, slashed with his sword right on his back, thereby killing him and giving him the opportunity to transmigrate his soul.

Analyzing the shouts of the hunters during the battle, the newly arrived Ivo determined that these are the so-called heretics from the south, and looking at their equipment, one can understand that they are more developed than his own tribe, but compared to his past life, they are all are still considered very backward. These riders used simple bronze weapons and did not even use the stirrup to ride their horses steadily.

Most likely their society is at the level of the ancient Greeks when compared with the history of his past world. Of course, he cannot say for sure, this is only his own guess based on what he saw.

However, it cannot be said that Ivo is glad that his enemies are more advanced because because of this it can be understood that the southerners can easily cope with the backward tribe. And given the lessons of history about antiquity, when, during the war, states could safely carve out entire villages and cities.

Another option was that Ivo and his tribe could become slaves, but this option did not suit him either, so he hoped that the strength of his tribe's warriors could cope with the threat from the south.

Since then, the world of men was dominated by witches, establishing the seven witch kingdoms, which safeguards at the forefront of the demon invasion. In order to survive in the matriarchal society of the witch kingdoms, Vaan, like all other men who cannot use magic, had to learn how to service the witches to survive. Nevertheless, it did not come without its own benefits. Years of research have led the world to the discovery of intimacy between men and women could increase the witches' mana absorption. But at the same time, men could absorb some of this mana to improve their physique and lifespan. Thus, since then, an intricate relationship was formed between men and witches in the red-light districts. Love became casual, and dual cultivation is common. As a prodigy in the art of pleasing women, Vaan lived a smooth two years since his transmigration as an orphan. However, everything came crashing down in a heartbeat one day when his life was nearly taken, and Lady Eniwse whom he served went berserk. Even so, that was not the end. With the awakening of the Witch Hunter System, watch how Vaan takes on the world and becomes the lord of witches. ===== Genre: [Mature Content] [R-18] [Smut] [Magic] [Witches] [Demons] [Spirits] [Dragons] [Beasts] [Reincarnation] [Adventure] [Action] [Mystery] [Academy] [Weak-to-Strong] [Scheming MC] [Harem] [System] [Servants] [Slaves] [Smart MC] [Alchemy] [Forging] [Misunderstandings] [Game Elements] [Kingdom-Building] [Overpowered MC] ===== Note: Contains lemons.

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR

Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..." Note: I don't own the cover. If the creator wants me to take down the cover or put credit, please notify me by replying to my review at the Review section.

First of all, the whole background and the world building in this story is really great. Very unique and interesting. BUT sadly the plot starts out great and then just implodes on itself. Let me explain: The author stated rellatively early on that he doesn‘t luke cliche development, forced plots and idi*tic MCs, which I greatly appreciate, because I also had enough of them... The system was also ver intriguing and original, as was the early development of the story. But all that was lost, when the author(around chapter 20) just forced the plot into a direction that makes no sense. Minimal spoilers ahead! Beware! From the appearence of a young master to the betrayal from his own tribesmen and being enslaved, all packed into one or two chapters, none of it made sense or wasn‘t cliche. During all this we don‘t see a mature ex-military man making calm and logical decisions. No, what we got was a typical dumb MC relying on his protagonist aura and plot armor to survive. One of the most infuriating parts was, that he doesn‘t acitively use his sytem to gain strenght. No, he just keeps his FP(system points) stored and than gets owned like an id*ot. He practically wasted 10yrs of his life with the ultimate cheat, namely linitless knowledge, and didn‘t gain enough strenght to be more than one of probably dozens of elite tribe warriors. So, if this isn‘t nerfing or a typical dumb MC, than I don‘t know what is... Moving on, he is enslaved and again doesn‘t even use the system to ask about the method they used to restrain him or for a way to break it, despit the massive amount of points he has available. The author made some lame excuse about not wanting to stand out in case of an interrogation, but one chapter later he used his system to learn their language. Contradiction at its finest! From there the story starts to make less and less sense to me. After being bought by some aristocartic magician and losing his restraints, his ‚owner‘ proceeds to treat him like some honorable guest and not an uncertain threat, despite having no knowledge about him or his capabilities, excluding the war between ‚barbarians‘(which the MC is part of) and the ‚southerners‘(which she is part of). All that is once again glossed over by the author, with another laughable excuse, that she wants to know if barbarians can learn their magic. This woman, who is supposedly someone from noble status and a magician to boot, shows zero common sense by teaching a foreigner about a power that gives their part of the world a military advantage, to be able to contend with the barbarians and doesn‘t even use some kind of restraining method in case he turns against her. Another absolutely baffling moment was, when he showed of his cultivation technique which was better than that of his ‚owner‘ and she didn‘t even ask him about it, demanded to teach or even tries to trade for it. Despite her possessing knowledge about how rare and valueable these techniques are. I could only question myself about who the slave and the master where in their relationship, as they didn‘t talk about it, nor did the MC ever ask her about his freedom... Again something the author didn‘t clarify and glossed over... The author also seems very defensive when asked about these obvious flaws, and didn‘t give a clear answer. I do not recommend this story to all those who have problems with plotholes and a forced development, as this story will drive you crazy.

Somebody's gonna flame me for this one. First off, Webnovel Readers' fetish for protagonists that aren't 'goody two shoes' blinds them to any other aspect of Characterization. The character of Ivo is whatever the plot needs it to be, from what I can see, the one constant being that he's a somewhat average person with a somewhat ambiguous moral compass d a practical mind set and zero naïvete. That's...okay, but outside of that, I don't see much consistency here. But the real problem in my opinion is the author's writing style. It's very 'Tell not Show'...Which is very much NOT something you want to see in an author. Rather than choosing to show Ivo's personality traits slowly through action and character development, the author tends to tell us why a character does something directly. it's something I see a lot on webnovel and it's unfortunate because it weakens a lot of otherwise good novels. Moving on...The plot is essentially an isekai that subverts a few different common tropes of the genre...and so far, little more than a few. Ivo seems set up to be mostly the center of the plot, and there is little outside of him, which is unfortunate. The truly sad part is that if you can get past the author's writing style, somewhat thin characterization, and...very un-special plot. The rest of the story is quite good, as the rest of the reviewers can attest. And the only issues it has are quite common ones. In conclusion, if you can endure somewhat standard development and somewhat poor writing quality, this story is definitely for you. if you have a very gourmet taste in webnovels however...You will probably not like this one.
