Ascent of the Cosmic Conqueror
(This story is being rewritten as "Descent of the Nightmare King" and the Discord is being repurposed for the Rewrite)
The greatest genius on the continent, he had everything: power, wealth, and a beautiful fiancée. But it was all taken away from him in a single night by his own traitorous brother, who murdered his fiancée and destroyed his whole life, turning the world against him.
Now, he lies poisoned and dying beneath a random tree in an unknown place. He is broken, both physically and emotionally. But even in death, he refuses to give up. He vows to rise from the ashes and claim his revenge. If need be, he would complete his revenge in the next life, and the life after that, and the one after that.
But instead of being reincarnated, his body itself is remade, his mind being the only thing that stayed the same.
But even with new life, he cannot forget the past, with his hatred burning brighter than ever before. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He will climb to the top, no matter how many lives he has to take. He will make his brother pay for what he has done, no matter the cost.
But as he ascends through the world and the greater universe, he begins to suspect that there is more to his new life than meets the eye. Was he really reborn, or is he simply a pawn in a larger game? And who is the mysterious figure who seems to be watching his every move?
As he gets closer to the truth, he realizes that the stakes are even higher than he thought. The fate of the entire universe hangs in the balance, and it will take a massive toll to save it.
Will he be able to overcome his demons and fulfill his destiny? Or will he be consumed by his own hatred?
The answer lies in the stars...
This novel contains LGBTQ+ characters, but the MC is not one of them.
Note: The first thirty chapters are not my best work and contain much exaggeration for the point of setting up the plot, so do not take their quality as the overall quality of the novel.

SHAMELESSNESS ALERT!!!!! THERE IS A SHAMELESS AUTHOR IN THE VICINITY THAT IS GIVING HIS BOOK A FIVE STAR REVIEW!!!!! HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!!
This novel is great. First of all, the writing quality is amazing and you can clearly see the writer's ability also improving through each chapter which is something you rarely see on webnovel, most writers take quite a while to improve so this rapid improvement is nice to see. The plot is quite interesting as well, with a good old revenge layered in mystery due to the origins of the power that caused his rebirth. I hope this continues, so keep up the good work.
spoiler alert.. well.. all in all this story is about a nice, powerful prince who got betrayed by his very own brother and had to see his fiancee die before him!! his father, the king didn't believe him and he got hated by everyone.. he is on his way to become powerful again and take his revenge... i quite like this story honestly.... if u wanna read some action type novel, i recommend this one.. : )
Honestly, I'm pretty biased because I love a good revenge story. The build-up is great, the backstory looks well thought out, and the action looks like it's going to be amazing. Author just needs to work on describing what needs to be described.
A review from JaffaKing since it won't post theirs: So first of all a very nice story. I like the characters. Good plot and good evolution. I don't prefer such details like it was in the first chap. I would say it was too much. But after that the flow was very good. All in all good world building and lovely characters.
An interesting and descriptive story. I only read the first chapter and I do appreciate the amount of detail, we know quite literally everything that's going on. The ending of the first chapter is rather comedic so I gather there will be more amusing scenes and look forward to future updates.
I love the descriptions used, especially the imagery! The setting seems to be quite well fleshed out, and I love how everything (the plot) progresses!
