Discord Link: https://discord.gg/wQa4cJky Lumberling, a 42-year-old civil engineer, had grown numb to the monotony of modern life, set out on a quiet nature trip, only to stumble upon an ancient, forgotten pyramid. A blinding red light struck him dead… yet bound itself to his soul. Reborn in a war-torn medieval world, he awakens as a mere foot soldier, armed with one terrifying gift, the power to devour the essence of those he slays. But this is no ordinary realm. In every shadow, enemies stir, Knights, Mages, Vikings, Cultivators, Werewolves, Vampires, Chosen, Blessed, Dragons, Murim masters, Transmigrators, Primordial Beasts, Norse and Olympian gods, entire pantheons, Angels, Demons, Elves… every myth and legend gathered in one brutal world. “What is this place? Why are all myths in one world?” The answer doesn’t matter. He will devour them all. Even so, no single hero can face it all alone. Lumberling begins forging not just his own path, but himself into a true leader, commanding loyal subordinates who think for themselves, each with distinct personalities, bound by unwavering devotion. No petty betrayals, no pointless infighting, only unity. Through sheer will and ingenuity, he discovers how to share his devoured essence with his most faithful followers, allowing them to grow stronger beside him. Until one day, the world itself becomes their only shackle. And when that shackle breaks, they step beyond, becoming travelers between worlds. In each realm, powerful protectors rise to meet them, caped heroes from towering cityscapes, masked legends from summer blockbusters. Icons from epic comic book universes. Even returning to his original world brings no peace, only to discover that hunters and awakeners now walk the earth as demons, dungeons, and monstrous hordes pour into reality. With his loyal army at his back, what will Lumberling do? The answer is simple. Devour, Conquer, and Rise. Note: This is a slow-burn progression and kingdom-building epic. While Lumberling’s Devour skill is strong, it is not instant omnipotence, he must train, master, and adapt to each power system as it emerges. The full saga unfolds over 500-1000 chapters of battles, growth, and conquest. ...... *Overpowered MC - Starts from nothing, builds an empire. *Kaiju-Level Beasts (Primordial Beasts) - Monstrous threats beyond comprehension. *Kingdom Building *Harem + R18 Scenes - Slow-burn loyalty, emotional bonds, and steamy moments. *No Yaoi or Yuri - Straight harem, no detours. *Tactical Warfare and Political Intrigue - Outthink, outfight, outlast. *Modern Knowledge vs. Fantasy World - Engineering meets magic

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

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between 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 solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...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 and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the 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 waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become 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, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR
