The Alchemist’s Records

SovereignLobster
I'm really bad at writing synopses, so I'll just tell you what to expect. This is supposed to be a long novel. It revolves around Faust, a kid who had his whole life destroyed in a matter of hours. He starts on a quest for revenge, but he's still just a kid. He's inconsistent sometimes. He feels sad and angry. He's smart, but sometimes clouded by emotions. He's composed but not a stone-cold character, as in he won't see hundreds of dead people in front of him and not react to it. He will learn how to survive and evolve in the world. The novel won’t focus on a broken MC with fifteen different systems or a chosen one. There is no system. He won’t be broken either, not for a long time, that is. His main strength will be runes, potions and his mind. Sometimes the fights are less than half a chapter, sometimes they take a whole chapter or more, it depends. So read it if you want > A human MC with flaws. Slow world-building. I do info dumps sometimes, but I’m not really fond of them. An MC who fights using his brain instead of brawl. Also, the world is one of fantasy, don’t expect it to be ultra-realistic, obviously. Don’t read it if you want > A strong MC from the start (SSSSS+ rank skill). A system or anything similar. Harem or heavy romance. A psychopathic MC. Overall, if you like it, thanks. If you don’t, thanks for giving it a chance.

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
