Ultimate Gacha System: Reborn As A Mob in My Favorite Game

"Well… I'm fucked." … Imagine this: you escape your most mind-numbing college lecture… Professor Henderson droning on about the Agricultural Revolution of 14th Century Flanders, just to hide in a bathroom stall and pull your guaranteed legendary gacha in your favorite game. You've been saving for months. This is it. This is your moment. ...And you pull the worst fodder character in the entire game. Then, as if the universe hadn't humiliated you enough, you hear gunshots. That's how Klaus died… clutching his phone, staring at a trash-tier pull, bleeding out on grimy bathroom tiles while some psycho unloads a clip outside. Pathetic? Absolutely. But hey, at least it couldn't get worse. Except it did. Because now he's woken up inside [Artemis Online]... the very game that betrayed him moments before his death and not as the overpowered Protagonist with his bullshit angel bloodline and auto-heal cheat code and not even as one of the gorgeous gacha waifus everyone whales for or an extra with a decent backing. No. He's reincarnated as that exact same fodder character he pulled. The tutorial NPC. The guy with Metal Magic… the most common, bottom-tier trash magic in existence. The guy whose entire life savings (one measly gold coin) was already spent registering for the Divine Wizard Academy's Entrance Exams in two months. Oh, and did he mention the Protagonist is basically a nepo-baby demigod? Born with the King's bloodline, raised by an literal angel mother who peaced out to heaven, and adopted by the most prestigious noble clan in the kingdom because some rich lady thought his rags looked cute. The guy trips over plot armor everywhere he goes. Meanwhile, Klaus can't even afford a decent meal. How the hell is a no-name mob character with garbage-tier magic supposed to survive an entrance exam designed to kill 90% of applicants? How is he supposed to avoid getting trampled by protagonists, villains, and every overpowered side character in between? Just as despair sets in, a familiar notification appears: 「Ultimate Gacha System has been initialized」 「Roll the gacha wheel once daily for a chance at legendary rewards!」 「Good luck, player. You'll need it.」

The Reprobate Kpop Idol Trainee (Sexting Gone Wrong)

Lee Do Yun was made to believe that he could achieve anything and everything with hard work and by living right. But after his dad slaved all throughout his life for his bosses and their companies but still died poor at the age of forty-eight, Doyun started to doubt that hard work indeed pays. For this reason, instead of working diligently towards his goal of becoming a K-pop idol, Do Yun decided to use the short-cut method. Knowing how modern society seems to favor women more, Do Yun's plan is to leech onto well-connected cougars and rich ladies until he reaches the height of his career as a famous K-pop artist. Yet when his sugar mamas were unavailable during a dire situation, Doyun decided to grab a big thigh for an already-proposed deal.  But what happens when sexting goes wrong and the one who receives his nudes is none other than, Kim Byeong Ho, the future heir of Knet Entertainment, the very company that he is about to join as an idol trainee?  In a state of derilium, Doyun made a grave mistake with this unknown guy. How will he even get the chance to redeem himself when he doesn't even know where to start searching for him? Or what is he supposed to do when he finds out that the one he's been looking for is the heir apparent of Kimland Group? And how can he explain the complicated relationship he has with another Chaebol, Ahn Hyun-Woo, who happens to be a close friend of Kim Byeongho? With such a messed up life, will Doyun ever be able to achieve his dream of becoming a K-pop idol in this situation-ship? Will life be merciful enough to let him experience what real love means? And will he get a happy ending, a bittersweet one, or just a sad ending? Follow Lee Doyun and see how he handles it all. Note: This author will not give warning for any R18 scene. Thank You. Also: Arts Cover is not mine please. If you're the owner of any of them and you want me to take it down, please tell me and I'll immediately do so. Thank you too in advance.

Children Of The Black Sun

A man dies on a battlefield, a war slave who never owned a single day of his life. In the void between lives he is brought before a white figure, a god who admits plainly that it pities him, and just as plainly that it is bored of a world that has grown too predictable. The god offers him a second chance under three conditions. He will carry a unique skill shaped by his suffering. He will be born of the Black Sun, though the god leaves that unexplained. And he will live the life he always wanted, the simplest condition and the cruelest one for a man who no longer knows what wanting feels like. The man accepts without questions. Not because he has none, but because a lifetime in chains taught him that questions were not his to ask. The god sends him off with nothing but two words and the void takes him. Left behind, the white figure is joined by a dark one, horned and heavy with a presence that was never meant to look human. They watch the man go and wonder aloud whether he will get far. Neither of them knows. But then again, no one expected him to survive the first time either. He was born on the last minute of the Black Sun. Not pure enough to be hunted. Not ordinary enough to be forgotten. Somewhere in between, the way he has always been. His mana will grow more pure with age and the world will eventually notice him whether he wants it to or not. He carries a skill called Envy. He can take what belongs to the dead, or what the living choose to give him. In return the world will never give him anything on its own. Nobody knows what he is. Except his parents. And himself.

Lord Of Beasts

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top!
