Apotheosis of the fallen god

At the absolute peak of his divine ascension, Ivan Dovisky stood on the brink of becoming a god. But at the critical moment of his apotheosis, a mysterious entity intervened, shattering the ritual. Stripped of his divine power, Ivan was cast down—regressing back in time to when he was young and weak. He awakens on Earth, his long-lost homeland. But this is no peaceful realm. Earth has been transformed into a cutthroat battleground for "Players"—humans bound to a mysterious System that grants them superhuman abilities and powers. At the center of it all stands the White Tower, a colossal structure where Players must conquer floor after floor to earn experience, level up, and transcend mortality. Now, armed with the knowledge of a fallen god and trapped in a mortal body, Ivan must climb the tower to reclaim his lost power—and uncover the truth behind the entity that destroyed him.

But hidden within his past is a truth even he doesn’t know: he is the last child of a forgotten goddess. The divine abilities awakened within him could be his only chance of surviving the ruined lands, but every blessing comes with a curse. As the truth of his birth begins to surface, the boy must survive monsters, rival Heroes, and the darkness within his own divine inheritance.

Our Journey's End

(Undergoing Rewrite) “I want to live too...” Those were the last words he uttered before being left behind, torn apart by the fallen. Yet betrayal, anger, and frustration were not the deepest emotions he felt. Not even the pain of being ripped apart, flesh by flesh. It was clarity, much like his name. Lucid understood then that maybe, just maybe, he had spent his life the wrong way. Perhaps, in his next life, he would have better luck. However, Lucid awakens in a strange purple forest that feels both foreign and strangely familiar, against all odds he had survived. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar fog that seems mysterious. Suddenly a voice chimes inside his head, a beautiful, elegant voice. A voice that seems to belong to a long-fallen deity named Alice. But upon realization, she is just as lost as he is. She cannot remember her own past, and yet, she carries a hope he himself lacks. Alice guides him forward through the scattered realms, and as they journey together, Lucid may be the only thing capable of restoring this fallen deity to her former divinity. And in return, she may be the only one capable of leading him home. Or perhaps fueling the twisted desire buried deep within him. Revenge... After all, he has not forgotten...

I Died During The College Debate and Awoke as the Heavenly Debater

Is this what happens when a debater dies? Charlie Kellan was a college student who spent his life arguing, questioning, and dismantling the ideas of others through nothing more than words. His life ended unexpectedly during a university debate, and when Death came to collect his soul, Charlie was sent into reincarnation and awakened in a world where Cultivation Reigns Supreme! Here, strength determines status, powerful cultivators can shatter mountains, and countless paths to immortality have already been developed. Charlie creates something the cultivation world has never seen before The Verbal Arts! What begins as a peculiar technique gradually develops into a complete cultivation system built upon rhetoric, logic, psychology, persuasion, and the manipulation of conviction. However, the stronger the Verbal Arts become, the more terrifying their potential appears. A sword can injure the body. A spell can destroy the soul. But words? Words can make someone destroy themselves. As Charlie's techniques spread throughout the cultivation world, the righteous sects begin to condemn them, while demonic cultivators recognize their potential. Eventually, the Verbal Arts are classified as a branch of the Demonic Arts. Charlie, however, doesn't understand why everyone is so surprised. After all, he has never believed that a weapon needs to be made of metal. Sometimes... All you need is an argument. Note: - Daily Chapters for First 2 Weeks - Inspired By Charlie Kirk not the Real Charlie Kirk - No filters I will write it to the very detail even if this gets banned and if it does ill write in Patreon for Free - First 3 chapters are AI but I used my old novel as a blueprint since it kinda fit the novel and i decided to start this novel since I've always wanted to write a Novel where the MC only has Verbal Powers and I figured it's the best time to start.
