I Was The Final Boss Before The Story Began

Jeather died trying to save someone. Gravity disagreed. An orphan, former underground fighter turned priest, he thought his story ended on the twentieth floor of a balcony. Instead, he wakes up in a new world where power comes from sealing monsters into cards—and your social status depends on how scary your beast is. Unfortunately, he starts at the bottom. Fortunately, his “Common-ranked” Verdant Demon doesn’t behave like it read the ranking manual. Now living in the Ardent District inside the body of a disgraced academy student with unfinished grudges, Jeather begins hunting beasts, collecting them like expensive hobbies, and slowly uncovering fragments of betrayal tied to a noble heir named Jefferson and a suspiciously calculating princess. Between slipping in mud, negotiating monster prices, and questioning why he’s slightly addicted to collecting rare creatures, Jeather makes one thing clear: He’s done being the one who falls. In this second life, he will live fully, grow stronger, evolve his demon into something terrifying… —and when the time comes, he won’t just survive the revenge waiting for him. He’ll collect that too.

Elementals, Enhancers, Beast Tamers, Artifact Nurturers – These four pathways define the magical world of Arcanists. But Finn, a former university student from earth, wakes up in a body treading a whole different path…A forbidden path: The path of a Soul Mage. Soul Mages are the ultimate parasites. They lack the ability to use magic themselves, but instead, wield the power to assimilate the mana-saturated souls of the dead. From every Great Arcanist that once lived, to every Calamity Beast, to every Mythic Grade Spirit Artifact… So long as they were dead, they were simply chaotic souls waiting to be claimed. ​But this kind of power does not come without cost. Madness, frenzy, mania, innate wills and primal desires of assimilated souls threaten to drive Soul Mages to total corrosion. In this new world, ​Finn finds himself thrown into the deep end, waking up as a Vessel already housing a full Parade of Chaotic Souls. Now, his body is a battlefield. The souls demand immediate payment, stacking Soul Debts that steal his senses, his consciousness, and his very humanity. ​But yet… it is this same overwhelming corrosion that causes the ultimate truth and uniqueness of his soul to surface… . .

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! P.S.

The year was 2030 when dungeons descended and wreaked havoc across the world. Fortunately, along with the descent of the dungeons was the awakening of various people obtaining superpowers, allowing the world to barely defend against the worldwide threat. Five years later, Desther, a young man that only wants to watch anime and read online novels, awakened the SSS-Grade Talent, Ultimate Thief, allowing him to steal a target’s attribute in battle and making it his own. However, along with the overpowered talent, was an announcement he wished he never got. [You obtained the title, [Chosen One]] [Clear the dungeon or Die!]

The young trainers think he's just another researcher. The Champion thinks he's hiding something. The ghost in his shadow calls him Emperor when no one's listening. Rei Akagi used to ride Rayquaza through the ozone layer and break villain organizations with his bare hands. Now he debugs code and pretends his past is just a bad dream. It's not. It's waking up.

The world’s population has been reduced to less than 500,000, but the only remaining traces of the apocalypse are the Elements–“Elements of Life,” many call them. Jelani is 18, but he’s already left one past behind and now lives as a soldier, fighting for the city of Hoodsale. Beneath the shadow of Mt. Hood, Oregon, he exists, going about his day-to-day life with the least enthusiasm possible. However, when he’s called on a mission to hunt down the criminals of this world–“rebels”–his company is caught off guard and torn to pieces. But Jelani survives, obtains the power of an element, and, with the world on the brink of a second disaster, he resolves to gain strength and make his existence known.

Victor Malfoy is the elder Malfoy twin, a transmigrator from Earth, and unfortunately… someone who knows the entire Harry Potter plot. This should have made his life easy. It did not.

Yet for someone called “Most Fortunate Person,” Victor is spectacularly unlucky—always stumbling into trouble whether he wants to or not. To find out how his journey unfolds, and what’s really wrong with his so-called lucky system, follow the story. (Note: Except for the OC, I own nothing.)
