Oleg Sapphire

Oleg Sapphire was born in April 1993 in the city best known as “Little Paris”. He’s always been a good-natured banterer constantly in the thick of his fun-loving friends. This didn’t prevent him from getting two degrees though, in law as well as in IT. He used his expertise in both areas to pen his LitRPG series. His hobbies are archery and reading, but the one pastime that really moves his soul is coin collecting, hunting for rare specimens with quite a bit of history behind them. Ever since childhood, he’s been an artist at heart. His other passion is painting, and he’s made his way through an inordinate amount of books.

Oleg has been surrounded by pets from an early age, so animals take a large place in both his heart and in his books, much to his readers’ joy. Writing is his life and his livelihood; he relates to every moment of his characters’ journeys, sympathizing with them in both his heart and his mind.

I was a Hunter, and I honored the Code. For my services to humanity and for leading a ‘proper’ life, I was to be rewarded. A new life after death, and a new world to give me some well-deserved rest.But something went wrong.... more

But something went wrong. Once again, I must fight. The Monsters that face me here are far more terrifying than those of my past life. They are cleverer, crueler, more unpredictable. And their name is…

Are you a sociopath and dissatisfied with your life? Don't know what to do about it or where to begin?

In that case, we have the solution.

Congratulations! A system has come to your world. Half of you will die and become zombies, while the other half must try to survive, if they can.

Rejoice, Sociopath, this world is made for you. Good luck!

I was the most powerful healer in my world — the best, having devoted my entire life to mastering the art of healing. And yet, for whatever reason, my brother feared that I sought to claim his throne, and he marshaled his forces against me.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter, all the same I’d been planning on trying out a certain ritual and now...

I’m in another world altogether!? And this body I’m inhabiting, well, it’s not mine, but some young guy’s! And what’s it mean that in this world the gift of the healer is downright pathetic?

Apparently, they simply don’t know how to handle power.

Well, I’ll show them...

I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old…

So that’s what I did. I had everything I could ever want, and even more besides. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I’d accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

I’ve been reborn in a strange new world, and I now need to start over. I still have all my experience and memories, but what about my power? I’ve managed to climb to the top once already; I can do it again! And it’s crucial that I do so before this world is consumed by the beasts from the Shadow Plane…

They were just a bunch of ordinary demonologists trying to summon an ordinary demon…but at the moment of summoning, something went wrong. Still, demon or demonologist – what was the difference to them, anyway? Either way, they were going to have fun.

My name is Konstantin and I am no ordinary demonologist. Most people fear demons, but in my case, it’s the demons who fear me…

Have you ever watched someone’s pride go up in flames? I have. It happened on the day your children screamed for help, and the only one to come to their aid was the one you had humiliated and cast out. I saved humanity. The same humanity that had betrayed me. Then I was an outcast again…

The years have passed. I don’t expect gratitude, and I don’t offer forgiveness. I just don’t need you anymore. I am the Drone Lord. It is me who decides my fate – not gods, not people, not anybody except me.

Memory is my voice, rage is my fuel, and an army of steel is my weapon.

A new world. A new body.

I’m alone, but I’m not lonely.

Hey, wait! How come they know my name?!

My name used to be Victorian. I was the legendary Chimera Master who devoted his life to his calling. I never liked how people pursued those different from themselves. I changed that… My chimeras didn’t allow themselves to be pushed around, the way I was later on.

Now I’m Victor, the owner of a veterinary clinic on the outskirts of the imperial capital, in the world where I fled for some rest and relaxation. Even someone like me needs a break from time to time.

Yes, it’s what I wanted. Even the most powerful and audacious of creators needs a holiday. And this world, replete as it was with unique genetic material, seemed perfect. “It’s the ideal world for you,” said a certain goddess who was advising me to come here.

But she forgot to mention one thing: in this “ideal world,” even as a veterinarian I had to remember how to create monsters just in order to survive.

“All is not what it seems.” (c)

My grandfather brought our House to greatness, and my parents… No, they didn’t destroy it or weaken it. On the contrary, our family line is flourishing more than ever. But the ways they exploit our ancestral gift (and profit from it) would make my grandfather roll over in his grave. No, to hell with understatement! I am sure that he is spinning like a fan in there right now! If he is actually dead, of course, which is far from certain.

Well then. I have a conscience, I have talent, and I have strength. And I would rather renounce my loved ones than completely disgrace our family name. I have only one option – to start over in a foreign land.

Hmm… The Venetian Republic… And why not?
