Jaylin, a man mistreated by the heavens from childhood, and forsaken by karma on his first date - the date of his death. Just like that, a life filled with strife, numerous tragedies, and desperate perseverance was extinguished like a puff of smoke. Jaylin's earthly tale ended, triggering the beginning of bizarre adventures.
Entangled in a bitter-sweet situation, Jaylin received a second chance at life through the body of a young missy of a family clan, Lilin - both a blessing and a curse. Lilin was labeled as 'worthless trash' by her family because she was born with a weak and fragile body, constantly plagued by sickness, unable to cultivate or manipulate magic. As if being a crippled girl wasn't bad enough, Lilin realized that malevolent intentions lurked in the shadows. What could be worse? It was discovered that Lilin was not The Patriarch's biological daughter, resulting in her mother being labeled as an 'adulterous slut', doomed to imprisonment and endless torture. With only the clothes on her back, grievance and hatred in her heart, the apparent bastard child was kicked out heartlessly. In Lilin's moment of helplessness, a familiar robotic voice reverberated through her very soul: [Beep, A.C.E system reboot].
An unknown father, an unknown heritage, in the bizarre world of magic. Will both lives be filled with endless suffering and despair? No! Why? Because this is the tale of a mortal battling through adversities to be on par - no, surpass even demons and gods to one day attain the apex, and change the cruel fate of the heavens itself.

Timeless Prominence
Rein, on the cusp on adulthood, found his family and town destroyed by forces beyond his understanding. Thus, the destiny within his heart called to him to seek out the cause of his calamity. So begins his journey as an advancer-- a title given to those who use magic to shape the world to their will. Author's note: Please check my profile if you like my works and are willing to support me through paypal/patreon! Anything will give me motivation to continues my works! I've always been a fan of progression fantasy. However, I do feel disappointed by many of them, with too many characters that vanish into irrelevancy, sometimes arcs that are overly repetitive and a lack of characters ideals. In this story, I aim to instill more character ideals, motivations, and integrate said characters throughout the story, and ensure their interaction with the main character remain relevant to his heart. Perhaps, it's best to say I want the story to have a 'human spirit' that one could feel in old-school wuxia and action/adventure stories.

You Only Live Twice (Discontinued-ish)
Olivia was your average 18 year old girl. Keyword, 𝙬𝙖𝙨, until she drowned in a lake and woke up in a crappy novel her friend recommended to her. The character she'd been convinced to read it for ended up being a small-time, side villain that disappeared half-way through the story, Olivia Auclair, the duke's sickly eldest daughter with the same first name as her. And just as her luck would have it, she now is living as that Olivia. Truthfully, she barely knew what she was getting into or why she was sent here after death in the first place. The only recollection she had of the story was the spoiled, self-centered heroine, Angelica, with a generic backstory and extremely overpowered abilities, the main characters who surround her, and of course, her hatred for the fictional book. Her saving grace to stay alive and well? Well of course it is to befriend the two most prominent characters within her reach, the antagonist and the male lead. Both of which eventually would be roped into the heroine's harem, but if all went right then hopefully by then she wouldn't have anything to worry about. Unfortunately, her plan backfired some where along the way, and now she is faced with the heroine's silent wrath and jealousy, her pawns overprotectiveness, an adopted noble's persistence, family drama, and the ever enclosing end of the story. What's a girl to do in her second life except lie down and accept her impending doom? -> Currently being rewritten!!! <-
