Lord of the Truth

TruthTeller
"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

Starting With SSS-rank: I Get A New Skill Every Livestream

One day, I decided to end my short livestreaming career. Not that I had ever started it with the intention of earning money. My life had hit rock bottom: a disappointment to my family, painfully average in academics, buried under massive debt after my company failed, and to top it all off, the one person who had been my emotional support, my loving girlfriend, cheated on me. Yes, life had turned into hell. So I chose to cut off all distractions and focus solely on my studies. However, the moment I went live to announce my decision, the few viewers I had exploded in rage. [There will be slaughter! Whoever made my Kyle sad deserves to burn in hell!] [My time with Kyle… gone… that demands… massacre.] [Kyle… Kyle… don’t go…] Then came a suggestion. [I have sent a gift for you. I hope that helps change your mind.] That gift, sent by one of my regular viewers, completely changed my life. I learned that the world I lived in wasn’t as simple as I had believed. Nightmares, shadows, ghouls, curses… they were as real as humans. And with the blessing I received, I became part of that hidden world. On top of that, I received a system that sometimes rewards me simply for existing. It’s crazy. The viewers I thought were just regular people were all deities. •••••••• A/N: For the first few arcs, the protagonist will operate in secrecy, and there is a good reason for it. The main character will experience sudden growth in strength, as this story isn’t about gradual power-building but about personal connections and slice of life. Expect heavy slice of life in this one. And please read through the free chapters before passing judgment. https://ko-fi.com/rashcore

The Demon Lord’s Velvet Curse: My System Only Targets Lethal Beauties

[ SYSTEM ALERT: NEW GENRE DETECTED — EROTIC COMEDY ] Kael “The Unyielding” is the Kingdom of Austeria’s most efficient weapon. He treats warfare like accounting: cold, precise, and emotionally bankrupt. He has never lost a battle, and he has certainly never lost his composure. That is, until he kicks down the door of the Demon Lord Erosia. Bored out of her mind by Kael’s lack of narrative spice, the drama–hungry Demon Lord decides to give the stoic hero a fatal flaw. With a single, lazy flick of her clawed finger, she curses him with The Velvet Hunger—a spell that doesn’t just scramble his desires… it gamifies them. Now Kael is plagued by a neon-pink, translucent pop-up screen that only he can see. It floats in his vision, blinking like a magical mistake trying to ruin his public reputation: [ TARGET CRITERIA: WOMEN WITH FLUFFY TAILS ] [ MATCH DETECTED! INITIATE… COURTSHIP PROTOCOL. ] Suddenly, the man who once tanked a hydra’s breath is gripping his sword because a fox-kin librarian smiled at him the wrong way. To scrub the glitch and reclaim his dignity, Kael must fight his way back to the Demon Lord’s citadel. He is accompanied by a party assembled for maximum damage control: • Ignis, a battle golem programmed to physically restrain him when the curse activates, • Varen, a panicking geriatric alchemist who does not get paid enough for this, • Brother Oat, A young, incredibly handsome, pacifist monk who has taken a Vow of Silence and a Vow of Chastity. He acts as Kael safe space. • Sir Roderick, The textbook definition of a hero. Chiseled jaw, shining armor, kind eyes, courageous heart. He is perfect. He is Kael right hand man. • Pip, a defective cupid-like cherub who cheers loudly every time Kael makes a terrible decision. • Elara, a cynical Half-Elf with ink-stained fingers, messy dark hair, and glasses(which she nervously takes off whenever Kaelen looks her way).As the only human female in the group, she lives in constant fear that the "Weekly Criteria" will cycle to match her. Kael has to save the world from eternal darkness—if he can stop his internal HUD from locking onto every deadly woman he meets and labeling her with things like: [ THE EXECUTIONER OF DUNGEON LEVEL 49 HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE. ] And unfortunately… she agrees.
