Playing the Gods' Game (With a Mythic System)
Community Rating
Description
Jae-Hyun-Woo was nothing special. In a world plagued by monster-filled dungeons, sudden dungeon breaks, and incursions from the Void World, he was just an average hunter, fighting tooth and nail to scrape together enough money to provide for his beloved younger sister, Mia. Despite his below-average talent, his grit and determination, forged in countless brutal encounters, kept him alive alongside his two more gifted friends, a formidable brawler and a skilled mage.
Their fragile peace shattered during a routine dungeon raid when a malicious plot orchestrated by unseen forces led to the dungeon's collapse. In his final moments, sacrificing himself to save his friends, Jae-Hyun-Woo felt the bitter pang of regret at leaving Mia alone. He died with a desperate prayer for strength in his next life.
But death was not the end. Waking in a celestial realm, he encountered a benevolent goddess who revealed a shocking truth: his untimely demise was no accident, but the cruel amusement of a god who viewed his world as mere entertainment. Granted a unique, Mythic System unlike anything he’d ever known, Jae-Hyun-Woo is sent back exactly ten years to the day he was about to enter the Hunter Academy.
Armed with the knowledge of his past life and the power of the Mythic System, Jae-Hyun-Woo has a new purpose: to become strong enough not just to protect those he loves, but to challenge the divine and demonic beings who play with human lives. He will exploit the "game," break the "scenarios," and level up beyond imagination, all for one burning goal – to kill every single god and demon responsible for turning his world into their cruel playground.

- Rivenlartor 09Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0It looks incredibly promising, and I’m genuinely excited about it. From its intriguing premise alone, I can already tell that this has the potential to be an absolute banger to read, especially if it's executed with care, creativity, and attention to detail. The concept feels fresh, original, and engaging, which, if fully realized, could lead to an unforgettable reading experience that stays with you long after you've finished. I'm eager to see how the story unfolds, how the characters are developed, and how the plot weaves together. If the author manages to capture the essence of the idea and deliver it with the right pacing and emotional depth, this could be something truly special—perhaps even a standout work that resonates with a wide audience. There’s so much potential here, and I can't wait to dive in and see where it takes me.
- YillyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Hi,
Your story is looking really interesting so far. Looking forward to see how it’s going to develop.
Would be cool to see how the space powers play a part of the story. Like how he got them or maybe a way that he can play around with its capabilities. Being able to suspend objects in a space tied to him and also outside would have so many possible uses beyond preparation. What types of limits are you planning on putting on it?
Anyway, I’m just rambling. Looking forward to the rest of your story.
