A Certain Lycoris of Fate

SinfulBel
Ashra Rabel is an ordinary, socially-awkward teenager, who, after a series of traumatic events in his life, succumbs to a spiraling depression. He ends up living in his school’s dorms, where he spends countless days and nights consuming stories of grandeur, his heart yearning to be released from his prison, and to be gifted a second chance at life—in a world with swords and magic, where he can become a Hero and forge genuine, more meaningful bonds, not unlike the stories he reads. One day, on his way back from a trip to a convenience store, his life is changed. Suddenly, he awakens as… a baby?! “Congratulations, King Regius, Queen Eslin. The Prince is a healthy boy!” It turns out he was reborn… summoned?—as the only heir to one of five influential kingdoms---Seraphis Eltath Verlice. Yet, unbeknownst to him, a storm brews behind the curtains, concerning matters far more divine and profane than himself, threatening to destroy this new world of his—leaving him questioning the reason for his rebirth, and just what role he'll be forced to play in his new life. (Available on Royal Road.)

Vile Dominion

(There are few chapters which has indentation issues, due to the site glitch. I would recommend the readers to read the novel on Royals Road if you find any difficulty. I have tried fixing them, but some chapters retain those problems) In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide—navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world’s control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)
