Reborn as a Demonic Tree - Chapter 214: Illusions

I became a staff officer of an empire whose defeat was certain.The only way to escape from the empire with an 8-year mandatory service was through dishonorable discharge.But then…“You can be glad, Lieutenant. Thanks to your accurate instinct, our military could prevent damage in advance.”The more I struggled to be discharged, the higher my performance evaluation became.

[You have inherited The Class Huntsman Of Death.]Deathborne.An RPG that I couldn’t stop playing in my free time. A game that hooked me to the core. A game that I was determined to finish and achieve the true happy ending by hook or crook.Why?Because no matter what choices I made, no matter how much I tried, it always ended with a bad ending.Not the bad ending in the traditional sense where the world comes to an end, but something worse. The protagonist would win, yes, but only at the unacceptable cost—sacrifices so immense that they left humanity and the world broken.And honestly? I didn't like it.Would you enjoy a movie, novel, or game that ends with only the protagonist surviving?Neither could I.That's why I tried my hardest and kept trying. Alas, despite all my efforts, I have yet to reach the true end but…Until today…It started just like any normal day for me.I returned home, greeted my mother, had my lunch, and was about to start yet another grind. Just as I was about to start, my screen flashed with a blood-red message:[Congratulations, player Mr. Per781, for clearing all hidden conditions. You are now eligible to access the hidden route, as deemed by the game developer.] [Do you want to proceed?] [Yes] [No] Before I could even think about my answer, a hand emerged from the screen and pulled me into the game.And when I regained consciousness, I wasn't myself anymore. I was in the body of a side character as Lukas Star, one of the weakest and nearly forgotten Hunter of the Archeon Academy.

“Should I accept the prophecy that destroyed my bloodline?”Aeron Velzorah thought he was just a regular village kid, until a dragon egg hatched in his hands.Now, everything’s changing. Aeron becomes a Dragonbound Warrior and unlocks forgotten abilities that fuse man and dragon, a power no one can understand, let alone control.As kingdoms prepare for war and the throne grows fearful of his return, Aeron must choose:Serve the crown that betrayed his bloodline?Or forge an empire of his own?

Rick Rolland didn’t expect to die young while gooning to some peak milf video, and he definitely didn’t expect to wake up in a world of dragons, elves, ancient empires, and magic older than civilization itself.But even worse than death was the cheat ability he received. Right after reincarnating, a small glowing figure floated out of his chest.A tiny chibi old-butler spirit with monocle, mustache, and a permanent irritated look.“Ahem. Welcome to Zorathia, gooner user.”[MATURE AFFINITY SYSTEM ONLINE]“You can only gain EXP by increasing affection with women aged 30 or above. Try not to die… while gooning again because you can have womans now...”Rick froze. Other isekai heroes would kill goblins, slay dragons, or train with legendary swords.But him? He levels up by seducing older women.“Slay goblins? Too simple.Lift a sword? Too mainstream.You, gooner user, must charm experienced ladies until they blush.It builds character and yours is nonexistent.”And just like that, Rick’s life in Zorathia spiraled into chaos.--------------------------------------------------Disclaimer: No NTR and Yuri.
