[Breaking news]
"The newly constructed ijin Park was destroyed by a fire for some unknown reasons there is no information about the casualties, yet we are currently investigating the situation."
on the Tv that I Bought there was a news update about the park I Destroyed it was being said that the park was built recently, and it has been only 3 months since its construction.
I wonder how much money it cost them?
"Well, who cares it's not like they will know I'm the one who caused it..."
"I am sure they won't find me anyways..."
***
President hung stared blankly at the TV screen after hearing the breaking news report. He didn't care too much about the park that had been destroyed; however, he did feel bad for the people whose houses nearby had caught fire. But when he saw the footage of the park being blown apart by Antares, the president's expression turned sour. It wasn't a good idea to have a monster in charge of guarding something important. The fact that they'd let such an animal roam freely was unforgivable. If they weren't able to control that beast, they deserved to get destroyed.
"Hm?" President looked back at the monitor. There was another breaking news flashing across the bottom of the screen.
"President Hung, all of the Devil Net is currently in shambles.... they have no information on this individual or individuals who may be involved in the incident, we request your assistance in finding any leads related to this case."
'It seems that my work here isn't done just yet.' Hung decided to put off dealing with the aftermath of the destruction until later and focused instead on hunting down whoever could possibly be responsible. After all, it wouldn't do anyone any favors if someone else got blamed for the incident.
***
Today marks the first day of my new life, today I will try to understand where I stand, as I've become weaker, at most if I took a guess I would have 2/100ths of my peak power, or in other words two percent of my original strength.
This body though, its cracking, each time I use strength that this body can't process or handle it starts to Break apart, and I can feel the cracks spreading from my head down to my toes.
My hands are now covered in blisters because I have to constantly move around, but even then, they aren't strong enough to hold things anymore.
I have to eat more than before to make sure I stay alive, and my stomach hurts because of it.
All I want right now is to sleep, but I can't rest, I need to keep moving forward.
Ah, this is really a pain, this body is in the beginning stages of being molded to fit my own strength if I bring out too much of it, this body will Crack and shatter into pieces.
But what am I supposed to do, if I don't train, I'll die eventually.
this body is not accustomed to even a single shred of mana, even my mana which is extremely chaotic is getting tangled upon this body and causing it to unintentionally Release mana from it, though it doesn't matter in the grand schemes of things when this is happening it's as if I'm saying
"Come Fight Me" to the vicinity that I am in, anyone in the Vicinity of 200ft will be able to sense the mana that is leaking from me.
it feels like I am being forced to fight against myself, fighting with my own body while trying to reach my goal...
At this point, my body looked like a horrified clump of mess with Blisters all over my body and cracked skin everywhere.
The hotel that I Booked a room in is apparently well known amongst humans, apparently, it's Classified as a love hotel, which means that it caters to couples who wish to have sex without having their partners see them, so I assume that these rooms are used mostly by married people who cheat on their spouses.
'it's not like I had a choice, every other hotel in the vicinity is accompanied by a pungent mana Smell, as if rotting Ashes were constantly up in your nose, and the only thing you could smell was that stench, this place seemed clean enough for me,'
I entered the room, and immediately felt uncomfortable, the moment I opened the door I could hear moaning coming from inside, I assumed that this must be a common occurrence for those who stayed there.
As soon as I entered the room and lay down I could hear constant noises from the room next to me.
"AH!~~Ah!!~"
so I quickly closed the door and locked it, I thought that maybe I should leave this place and look for a better hotel, but I didn't want to risk fighting in this state even my mana itself was causing this body to crumble, one wrong move could force this body to crumble like a domino, so I will just have to force it to Adapt to it,
why was Ashborn's vessel different? he was able to bring out all of the shadow monarchs' power without his Body breaking apart. I wish life could be that easy for me, but why does everything always come with such complications?
'I wonder how long till my body breaks down completely.'
***
Today is it the second day or the third?
This body is slowly healing, the Cracks and Blisters that were previously on this body, are no longer there, as if all the blisters and Cracks that were on the skin were never there to begin with, though some of the wounds are still visible through the skin.
Now my body has been molded to match my strength, though I have noticed something strange about my body, it seems to have changed somewhat since yesterday,
my body feels lighter, as if it wasn't made entirely of stone and metal, I also feel less pressure on my bones, as if my skeleton is somehow softer, but my muscles are stronger, as if I didn't waste away during the time I was sleeping.
I guess this body is finally starting to adapt to my strength, I hope it continues to grow.
Though I'm feeling optimistic, I know that I shouldn't get too excited, I have yet to even regain a tenth of my strength currently I don't even think I'm at 3/100ths of my strength if I was at my heyday or even when I fought Sung Jin-Woo or in other words the Shadow Monarch, though even though I'm currently extremely weakened I could be at least low class-mid Class in the power scaling in this world it depends on the strength of this world but from what I've seen it looks pretty weak.....
I've thought of something that is pushing this body to the extreme, but the benefits would be worth it..... if this works it would need an incredible amount of mana which I do not currently possess.
To start a war you need people. You need an Army but, I currently do not possess my army or even any soldiers of my old army, so what should I do..... I've thought of one idea that could work....
This world possesses mana, but it's not like my world's mana, This world's Mana is Clumped together forming in the air constantly, but it's not as pure or Chaotic as my worlds, so what if I Connect my world's mana to this world, would this Connect this world to mine, even if it did I doubt the rulers would even care to supply mana so that this world can survive the War that would come.
But this could possibly make this world more powerful than my own, if this were to happen then the Itarim would take notice, of a world that they didn't create and just so happens to have an enormous amount of mana in the said world...
I have an understanding of where I stand. So, I need to go to school, even though I would like to skip it, it will provide me with opportunities to recruit people into the army that I will be making,

[Destruction Element (EX Rank) Sealed EX - - - > C]
Antares wields the Destruction Element at an EX Rank level, allowing him to wield the ultimate force of annihilation. This power is unique in that it doesn't just destroy matter or energy—it erases the very concepts of existence, the Destruction Element operates as a passive buff that affects both his attacks and presence, making him a constant threat to anyone in his vicinity.
Power Level: EX, Rank Sealed EX - - - > C
Effect: Passive Buff: All of attacks, both physical and magical, have an additional chance to trigger a Destruction Effect. This effect can reduce enemies to nothingness with a 5% chance on each attack, causing them to be erased from existence (no remains, no memory, and no concept of them exist anymore). This makes Antares an extremely dangerous foe in any battle, with random bursts of overwhelming power that can erase even top-tier opponents.
Duration: Permanent while active. It passively empowers his attacks until the battle ends or the ability is interrupted.
Breath of Destruction
This powerful concentration of the Destruction Element is Antares' ultimate ability to wipe out everything in its path. It causes an AOE (Area of Effect) damage that erases matter, energy, and even concepts within its radius. This breath can be used strategically, causing large-scale devastation, especially against groups of enemies.
Effect: Channeling the Destruction Element into a massive breath attack, Antares releases a wave of annihilation that disintegrates everything in a line or cone in front of him.
AOE: This attack has a cone radius of 50 meters (scaled up depending on Antares' power level). It can completely decimate structures, enemies, and landscapes within its reach.
Damage Type: The Breath of Destruction does EX Rank Destruction damage, erasing 95% of the target's mass from existence. However, the attack's true effect isn't just physical—it erases concepts, memories, and time related to the target. This means living beings affected by the Breath are not only physically obliterated but erased from existence entirely, leaving no trace of their being.
Cooldown: 30 seconds (must regain enough energy to perform this attack).
Ruin Effect:
Chance: There is a 5% Ruin Chance on every Breath of Destruction used, which means that with each use, there is a 5% chance that the Breath will go beyond the normal AOE and trigger the Ruin Effect. When Ruin activates, instead of just disintegrating everything in its path, it will spread outward, erasing an additional 10 meters of landscape or entities in the area. This expands the AOE and extends the area of total annihilation. The 5% Ruin chance gives an element of unpredictability to the attack, making it especially deadly when facing multiple enemies or attempting to clear a large area.
Ruin Effect Mechanics:
Trigger: 5% chance on every use.
Effect: When Ruin triggers, the area of the Breath increases by 10 meters, and anything in this expanded area will be erased with greater intensity. Those caught in the Ruin radius will have no remains, even if they were high-level enemies or rare entities. Essentially, Ruin represents uncontrollable annihilation, where the normal destructive wave has been empowered by Antares' sheer dominance, making it nearly impossible to escape.
Example: If you unleashed Breath of Destruction in a 50-meter radius, and the Ruin Effect activates, the total radius of destruction would increase to 60 meters, expanding the range of devastation and increasing the potential for destruction.
Destruction Wave
In addition to Breath of Destruction, you can release a Destruction Wave that extends the destructive power of the Destruction Element over a larger area. This attack is not as concentrated as his Breath of Destruction but is ideal for wiping out groups of enemies and destroying landscapes in a widespread.
Effect: The Destruction Wave is a massive radial explosion that releases the energy of the Destruction Element in all directions. This ability is designed to clear a large area by spreading the annihilation effect over a huge radius.
Radius: 100 meters (increases with more energy channeling).
Damage: The Destruction Wave causes massive AOE damage with a 95% destruction chance for anything within the radius. Enemies within the AOE are erased from existence, leaving nothing behind.
Cooldown: 60 seconds (due to the extensive energy required to channel this ability).
Ruin Effect:
Chance: The Destruction Wave also has a 5% chance to activate a Ruin Effect upon use. If the Ruin Effect is triggered, the Destruction Wave becomes far more intense, increasing the radius to 120 meters and causing additional devastation to the area.
Ruin Effect: When the Ruin Effect activates, it also erases environmental features like terrain, buildings, and natural landmarks in the expanded area of effect. This can completely reshape the landscape, leaving nothing in its wake and ensuring total destruction.
Dragon's Fear (EX) Sealed EX - - - > C
Antares, the Dragon Monarch, emanates an overpowering aura of fear that induces a paralyzing terror in all living beings around him. As a being of unimaginable power, his presence alone is enough to send shockwaves through the minds of all who are in his proximity, making them feel an instinctual dread akin to facing a true dragon. This terror is so overwhelming that it can freeze enemies in place, shatter their will, and make them unable to act in the face of his might.
Ability Mechanics:
Effect:
Dragon's Fear is an aura-based ability that manifests as a passive effect radiating from Antares. It affects all enemies within a 100-meter radius, inducing extreme fear and panic. This draconic aura is not only psychological but also has physical consequences on the targets, slowing their movements, weakening their will, and often freezing them in place due to sheer terror.
Status Effects on Enemies:
Fear-Induced Paralysis:
The sheer intensity of Antares' aura can cause paralysis due to overwhelming fear. Those within proximity may experience a complete mental shutdown, rendering them unable to move, fight, or defend. This is not just a psychological effect but a physical response to the primal fear of being in the presence of a true dragon.
Effect: 30% chance to paralyze enemies for 2-5 seconds. The closer they are to Antares, the higher the chance of paralysis. This effect can trigger multiple times within the duration of the ability.
Intensified Fear:
Enemies trapped in the aura of Dragon's Fear experience mental disarray. They become unable to focus, with their senses dulled by the overwhelming terror. In battle, this makes their reflexes slow, accuracy decreases, and morale plummet.
Effect: Reduces movement speed and attack speed by 20% for 30 seconds.
In addition, enemies lose the will to fight and become more vulnerable to destruction-based attacks, as fear causes them to hesitate and second-guess their actions.
Mental Breakdown:
Prolonged exposure to Dragon's Fear results in a mental breakdown. The affected enemies start experiencing hallucinations of their worst fears and past traumas, increasing their disorientation. This makes them vulnerable to further attacks or manipulation.
Effect: For enemies exposed for longer than 15 seconds, there's a 10% chance to trigger a mental breakdown, reducing their mental resistance and rendering them more susceptible to Antares' other abilities. These enemies may even flee in terror if their will breaks completely.
Dragon's Fear Aura:
Radius: 100 meters (scales with proximity—stronger closer to Antares).
The fear aura becomes stronger the closer enemies are to Antares, creating a gradient effect. At the center of the aura, the effects of paralysis and disorientation are much stronger. At the outer edge, enemies may feel a mild sense of unease, but not the full brunt of the fear.
Effect:
Inner circle (close range): Enemies experience full paralysis chances and intense fear effects (30% chance of paralysis, 20% movement speed reduction).
Outer circle (medium range): Enemies experience mild paralysis and mental disorientation, but not complete incapacitation (10% movement speed reduction, 10% chance to become disoriented).
Outer edge (far range): Mild unease and slight morale loss; enemies are still intimidated, but do not suffer the intense effects closer in.
Duration:
Dragon's Fear lasts for 20 seconds after activation and remains active as long as Antares remains engaged in combat. The effect gradually diminishes as enemies move farther away from him. After use, there is a 60-second cooldown before Antares can activate it again.
Synergy with Other Abilities:
Breath of Destruction:
Dragon's Fear weakens enemies significantly, making them ideal targets for Breath of Destruction. Paralyzed or disoriented enemies will be unable to avoid or defend against the devastating wave of annihilation, increasing the accuracy and damage of the breath attack.
Destruction Wave:
Enemies under the influence of Dragon's Fear will be less likely to evade or counter the Destruction Wave, ensuring that the wave covers a larger area and inflicts maximum destruction. The aura causes enemies to be far less mobile, making it difficult for them to avoid the explosion of annihilation.
Destruction Element:
The mental disarray caused by Dragon's Fear amplifies the Destruction Element. Targets weakened by the fear will experience more intense destruction, as they are less likely to defend against Antares' most overwhelming powers.
Vessel of the Monarch of Destruction
Description:
As the vessel of Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, you are the living conduit of his immense power. The Heart of Antares resides within your body, infusing you with the Monarch's vast energy and perpetually replenishing your mana. The power of Antares, once an unimaginable force of nature, now flows through your veins, providing you with limitless potential—both destructive and regenerative. This connection turns you into a living weapon, capable of wielding the sheer force of Destruction without the typical constraints of mana depletion or physical fatigue.
Ability Description:
Heart of Antares:
The Heart of Antares, a core of unimaginable power, continuously pumps the Monarch's essence throughout your body. As the source of your abilities, it allows you to access vast mana reserves and grants you extraordinary strength and resilience. This connection ensures that you will never run out of mana and that your body is capable of withstanding tremendous stress, allowing you to continually use destructive abilities without fear of exhaustion.
Effect:
Infinite-Like Mana: Your mana regeneration rate is near-infinite, allowing you to use abilities without the need for rest or recovery time.
Enhanced Vitality: The Heart continuously revitalizes your body, significantly enhancing your physical capabilities and granting you extreme durability.
Regeneration: Your connection to the Heart also provides rapid healing, allowing you to recover from serious injuries almost instantly.
Destructive Aura:
As the vessel of Antares, the overwhelming power of Destruction radiates from your body in the form of an aura. This aura induces fear, disorientation, and weakness in all nearby enemies. The sheer intensity of your presence causes a physical and mental strain, making enemies unable to focus or fight effectively. The aura also provides a natural defense against incoming attacks, deflecting or weakening them before they can harm you.
Effect:
Enemies within a 30-meter radius of you experience a debuff to their mental clarity and physical strength, reducing their speed and damage output.
Mental Instability: Enemies are weakened by the presence of the Monarch's aura, making them more vulnerable to Destruction-based abilities and lowering their combat effectiveness by 20-30%.
Damage Reduction: The Destructive Aura grants you an innate defensive buff, reducing incoming damage by 20%.
Vessel's Fury (Monarch's Wrath):
When you draw upon the full power of Antares' Heart, your body is imbued with an overwhelming rage—the Monarch's Wrath. This surge of power amplifies your physical strength, mana-based abilities, and overall combat potential, making you a force to be reckoned with. In this state, the very air seems to tremble as your power reaches its peak, turning the tide of battle in your favor.
Effect:
Destructive Enhancement: For 30 seconds, your physical attacks and Destruction-based abilities are amplified by 50%, causing even greater damage.
Overcharged Mana: During Monarch's Wrath, your mana consumption is temporarily increased by 30%, but the damage dealt is also significantly higher.
Aura Strengthening: The Destructive Aura grows stronger during this state, with the debuffs to enemies increasing to 40-50%, while your damage resistance increases to 40%.
Vessel's Rebirth:
The Heart of Antares is not only a source of power, but it also grants you the ability to regenerate from near-death experiences. The energy of the Monarch's heart allows you to revive from mortal injuries and continue fighting, essentially granting you immortality as long as the heart remains intact.
Effect:
Immortal Rebirth: If fatally injured, the Heart of Antares automatically triggers a self-repair mechanism, reviving you in a fully healed state after 2-3 minutes.
Cooldown: After activation, there is a cooldown period of 1 hour before the ability can be triggered again.
Limitations: This ability can only be triggered if the Heart of Antares remains intact and is not destroyed. If the heart is damaged beyond repair, this ability will be disabled.
Monarch's Power (Exponential Growth):
The Heart of Antares gives you access to the Monarch's vast power, making you an unmatched force in battle. As you engage in combat and utilize your abilities, the mana from the heart builds up, allowing you to progressively increase your strength and power in a short amount of time.
Effect:
After every minute of combat, your strength and Destruction abilities are increased by 10-20% Randomly, up to a maximum of 100% after 10 minutes.
Additional Boost: This effect works in synergy with Monarch's Wrath, making you even more dangerous as the battle progresses.
Ruined Body (EX)
As the vessel of Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, your body is a fragile yet paradoxically powerful conduit for his overwhelming energy. The Heart of Antares, embedded within you, is the only thing keeping you alive, as your body is in a constant state of decay from the sheer strain of containing the Monarch's power. Without the Heart, your body would have collapsed into eternal slumber, unable to sustain even the most basic functions. Every movement, every breath, and every use of mana comes at a cost, as your body cracks and fractures under the pressure of power,
Heart of Antares (Sustained Ruin):
The Heart of Antares is both your salvation and your curse. It pumps the Monarch's essence through your ruined body, allowing you to function despite the constant strain of mana overconsumption. The Heart's energy sustains your basic functions and grants you access to immense power, but it also accelerates the deterioration of your vessel.
Effect:
Mana Overconsumption: Your body is in a perpetual state of mana exhaustion. Every action you take, even basic movement, consumes mana from the Heart. If the Heart is removed or destroyed, your body will immediately shut down.
Cracking Vessel: Each time you use mana beyond your body's natural limits, your physical form cracks, leaving visible fractures that glow with the energy of Antares. These cracks weaken your body further, making it more susceptible to damage.
Forced Sustenance: The Heart's energy prevents you from dying outright, but it does not heal your body. Instead, it forces your vessel to continue functioning, even as it falls apart.
Destructive Overload Active skill (EX):
The Heart of Antares allows you to tap into the Monarch's power but at a great cost. When you unleash Destruction-based abilities, your body struggles to contain the energy, causing it to crack and fracture even more. The sheer force of this power is devastating, but it comes with the risk of irreparable damage to your vessel.
Effect:
Overwhelming Power: Your Destruction-based abilities are amplified by 50%, but each use causes your body to crack further, reducing your maximum durability by 5% per use.
Using these abilities drains the Heart's mana reserves at an accelerated rate. If the Heart's mana is fully depleted, your body will enter a state of stasis until the Heart replenishes itself.
Critical Fracture: If your body's durability drops below 20%, you risk complete collapse, rendering you immobile until the Heart stabilizes your vessel.
Weakest Dragon (S)
Status Effect: Terminally Ill
The Heart of Antares, once the source of unimaginable power, is now the only thing keeping you alive. Your once-mighty form is reduced to a frail vessel, the result of an intense mana over-consumption. Most of your powers have been sealed, and those that remain are severely weakened. Every time you use your abilities; you risk accelerating your own destruction.
Sealed Power (C)
Once a terrifying being capable of destroying entire realms, you now only possess a fraction of your previous power.
Power Lock: You are 99% weaker than your former self. Even basic abilities like claw strikes and breath attacks have little effect on low-tier enemies.
Mana Drain: Using any ability drains 5% of your mana per second. Your mana reserves are quickly exhausted, and you are left vulnerable with no way to recover.
Fragmented Dragon's Roar
Your Dragon's Roar, which once shook the heavens, is now a mild shockwave that can only disorient weaker beings and cause minor environmental damage.
Weak Fear: The roar induces a weak fear effect for 3 seconds, enough to cause hesitation in weaker enemies but useless against stronger foes.
Mental Strain: Each use of the roar reduces your focus by 5% for the next 10 seconds, making it difficult to react to incoming attacks.
3. Dragon's Cracked Wings
Your wings, once capable of long-distance flight, are now cracked and barely functional. You can only glide for short distances.
Limited Flight: You can glide for 30 meters at most before your wings shatter further, causing you to fall and take 10% damage to your health.
Wing Exhaustion: Each use of flight costs 2% of your health and mana per second. After 3 failed attempts, your wings break completely, leaving you immobile for 10 seconds.
Weak Dragon's Breath
Your once-feared Breath of Destruction is now a faint burst of energy. It is enough to level a small park but lacks the range and intensity to affect anything beyond that.
Self-Harm: Each use of the breath causes 5% damage to your own body and drains 10% of your mana. You become vulnerable after using it.
Weak Impact: The energy released causes moderate environmental damage, like small craters or scorched earth, but has no effect on more resilient enemies.
Dragonic Aura of Collapse
Your aura of destruction is now a faint, unstable energy. It causes minor discomfort to those around you but does little more.
Weak Aura: Enemies within 5 meters experience minor discomfort and lose 5% of their focus and physical stats for 5 seconds.
Vessel Decay: The aura puts a constant strain on your body, causing 2% damage to your health and 3% mana drain every second it remains active.
Ruined Dragon's Claws
Your claws, once capable of rending mountains, are now cracked and weak. They can barely harm low-tier enemies and do little damage to stronger ones.
Cracked Claws: Each strike has a 50% chance of breaking your claws on impact, rendering them unusable for 10 seconds.
Weak Damage: Your claws now deal minimal damage (1-2% of an average enemy's health), making them useless against anything stronger than low-tier monsters.
Two Egos in One Body (S) (Passive):
Effect: The body is home to two conflicting egos, each vying for control. At random intervals, one ego takes control, but its influence is never complete. The two forces clash constantly, with one trying to overpower the other, resulting in sudden shifts in the host's abilities.
Human Ego (Passive): The human Ego seeks control over the body, using strategic thinking, adapting to situations, and managing resources. While in control, the host's attacks are more calculated but less powerful.
Antares Ego (Passive): The Dragon King, Antares, brings raw destruction and power, often bursting forth uncontrollably. While his ego dominates, the vessel body is flooded with immense physical strength and destructive energy, but the power is wildly unpredictable.
System Reflection (EX)
Each category of ranking Represents the Difficulty of breaking said debuff or Buff, if it S Class most beings even if they tried wouldn't be able to undo it, the only way is to level up, all effects related to these effects or try to mess with said effects become meaningless to the vessel, if someone tries to change or effect any aoe, buff, debuff, or Effect with their ability's or powers they will be met with a 5% debuff put upon them
Ah, so I'm that weakened it's at least good to know how weak I truly am..... are there no limiters on this body though...? if not, why did they let me even use that much mana without even letting me know.... is it because I didn't have the system at that moment, but shouldn't this body have to told me in certain ways like coughing blood, being sluggish to move, or even being harder to move than normal.
Wait.... so that's what that was. I thought it was just me getting used to the body, but as soon as I used my Destruction element, I felt sluggish. I thought it was because it was the first time I was using the destruction element in this vessel. How was I supposed to know that this body would truly be this weak?"
"Swoosh!!!"
Mana enveloped the area as Antares started to connect the two worlds, using his destruction Element as an anchor point he then began to pull from both sides, creating a massive hole in space, the hole grew rapidly until it reached the size of a house, the hole slowly closed up before finally vanishing, the entire process took about 30 minutes, while it seemed like nothing happened, the amount of magic energy required to create such a large portal could've easily destroyed an entire city.
Cough!! Cough!!!
Antares started to cough violently, as his body became weaker and weaker, he looked down at his hands which were starting to tremble, his eyes turned red and his breathing slowed, he quickly grabbed his head and fell forward onto the floor, his body convulsed as his mind went into shock, his consciousness fading away, his heart stopped beating for a few seconds before suddenly restarting, his vision blurred and his ears rang loudly, he couldn't hear anything anymore,
Cough!!! Cough!!!
He started to cough even more violently, as blood filled his mouth, he coughed out a thick black liquid that tasted terrible, he spat it out and immediately started to breathe again, his chest feeling lighter and easier to breathe, and his lungs started to fill up with air, he sat up and noticed that his body had returned back to normal, his wounds healed instantly and his stamina recovered completely, he stood up and looked around, he saw that
"He had done it"
***
A/N:
[One thing i want to note before we continue, even though The Mc declared himself as Antares, he is in fact not Antares himself, but more of a Recollection and past of Antares mixed with a human ego, this will be explained later on and I already have a plot point for it but just so we are clear Antares and this MC are different people....]
anyways thanks for reading I'm working on getting Patreon Chapters up i will upload 5 chapters ahead on my Patreon
at
https://www.patreon.com/c/translations327
"Let me talk a bit more about this story and how I came up with the ideas behind it. First of all:
The main character is set in South Korea, and I'll explain more about that later. If at any point something feels off in terms of cultural or religious beliefs, please feel free to step away. Everything I write is purely fictional and doesn't aim to reflect real-life religions or traditions.
I'll do my best to represent cultures and religions accurately based on how they're portrayed in anime and the light novels that have influenced me. This is all part of my learning process as I build up my skills before working on my own original novels.
The main light novels I've learned from and tried to incorporate into my writing style are Solo Leveling, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, The Max-Level Player's 100th Regression, I Obtained a Mythic Item, The Indomitable Martial King, The Regressed Son of a Duke is an Assassin, and Swordmaster's Youngest Son. These are stories that really influenced my writing. I personally loved them and tried to capture that same feeling, but I quickly realized that simply copying their style wouldn't work. Instead, I've learned a lot from how they were written, and I've worked to incorporate those lessons into my own work.
If it feels like "copy-paste" to you, I can assure you it's not. I write everything by hand, and the only AI I use is Grammarly to help me with grammar and spelling, as I tend to make a lot of mistakes while writing. My process for creating chapters usually involves watching the Solo Leveling anime, re-reading the manhwa, or exploring new manhwa, which sparks all kinds of random ideas in my head.
For this chapter, I spent a lot of time thinking about how to connect Solo Leveling: Ragnarok to this world. Honestly, I didn't originally plan for them to connect, and it probably won't happen, but who knows? This is how this chapter came together—I just let the ideas flow, and suddenly, this thought popped into my mind. I hope you enjoyed it!"
Thank you for Reading take Care.
