The 'Black Phantom'. A name when uttered would send chills down the spines of anyone who worked in the underground world. That name was akin to a boogeyman to every rich and powerful individual. No one knew his face or his identity as everyone who met him never lived to tell the tale.
It was said that if the Black Phantom was to target you, you have two choices. Either commit suicide or pray that you get a quick, painless death.
However, in unknown circumstances, that legendary hitman suddenly vanished from the underworld, never to be seen again. The reasons were a mystery and the uproar it created was nothing short of historical.

*Ding* [Creature-link successful! You have created a new creature!]
Lyrian Theageld's life was nothing short of a nightmare. He had been a slave and a victim of
constant abuse before he finally died. But instead of finding peace, he was reincarnated into a fantasy world where he was given a second chance to discover his identity and find his place in the world.
Determined to never be a victim again, Lyrian became obsessed with gaining power. He knew that the only way to achieve his goal of never being at the mercy of others was to become powerful enough to rule the world. With his unique ability to create new things from the old, Lyrian was able to merge skills, beings, and magic elements to create something entirely new, which helped him grow in power.
Lyrian's past experiences made him determined to never be a victim again, and his search for identity and power are inextricably linked. Thus, he embarks on a grand journey of power, and a sense of self where he gains companions with goals no less impressive than his, battles powerful foes that are worthy of being called monsters and eventually even takes over vast empires.
Will his resolve throughout this legendary adventure allow him to find what he’s been searching for all along, standing atop the countless heads of his enemies, or will he forever be lost in his pursuit of power? Only time will tell.
-----
Lyrian will not be your typical mc, so do not expect for him to be a cold and selfish lone wolf, nor a righteous hero. Throughout the story he will be trying to find himself, and so do not judge him harshly for any of his actions either, as he could change in a heart beat (;
-----
Also, the first two chapters (can be considered prologue) when the mc hasn't died yet are quite dark, but the story takes quite a turn when he is reincarnated. Not into something that's bright and jolly by any means, just something that you could call a normal amount of darkness and lightness, that's of course ever changing as well.
-----
There will be no harem whatsoever in this novel, and when it comes to romance, it will be scarce, if not completely invisible until 500+ chapters.
PS: There will be a point in time where the mc personality will completly change in a certain way. It is recommended by the author to read until that moment.

Like every (Isekai) protagonist, I got reincarnated after getting hit by a hyper-speed truck.
That was an empty and dark life anyway, so I was already looking forward to a decent, unknown afterlife.
But... the world had a unique thing in mind.
In this new world, I had parents, amazing ones at that.
My father was a talented mage, and my lovely mother was a sharp and cunning merchant.
Ignoring all of my weirdness, they loved me unconditionally.
This was the life that anyone would love.
Eating and cooking delicious food, practicing archery and magic, and playing with my parents.
Everything was wonderful until... those demons separated us and it left me in a ferocious forbidden forest, just to be eaten alive by beasts.
But dying wasn't even a question.
I will go back… to them.

The only game in my life that makes me laugh: The Lands of The Lunerra... I played this game for six thousand hours in three years, and the day I thought I had done everything I could in this game, I felt a great emptiness inside me. I thought nothing in my ordinary and monotonous life could make me happier than when I played this game. But it didn't take long for me to realize that I was wrong with an e-mail I received the night I finished the game.

Hi! Thank you to everyone who came to read this story. There are two things I want to tell you.
First of all, I first started writing this about two years ago, but I was writing in my native language, Turkish, and on a different site. But unfortunately, the website where I published the series came to the brink of collapse. While I was thinking about where to publish the series, I remembered Webnovel and here I am. So this is my first English novel and I believe I will make mistakes while translating. Please forgive me for these if you encounter some of them. I will do my best.
Second... yes, while writing this novel I was inspired by most of the novels I've read so far. Like The Novel's Extra, that novel is a pure diamond for me and I don't think I will ever reach the level of that thing. So I want to say the first few chapters may feel familiar to you, but I'll do my best to smooth it out.

Two people, different from each other and yet quite similar. Unique, and still strangely too compatible. Special on their own, yet when together, nothing might possibly defeat them...
Inseparable, even through the vicious cycle of life and death.
Intelligent and wise, so much so that the whole world might envy her gift.
Stubborn and gentle but a perseverance so great that even geniuses would long for his finesse.
They were special. And they were also together. So the bitchy world got jealous and played his dirty tricks infamous throughout the countless tales of the world.
They were amazing, but at the end of the day, they were mortals, bound by the inseparable chains of death. So... just when they finally felt like they had everything they could ever wish for, the bastard gave them the ultimate gift and curse—a miserable end.
They died, but it wasn't the end of story though. Death wasn't enough to separate the two stubborn individuals.
They were reincarnated after cutting off the strings of fate but still, the world was a bitch, and doing nasty things was its calling.
They found each other again in a familiar world this time. From the start too.
They were happy for a moment but then they found out... they looked too alike to ignore.
The world was a jealous bitcha and they were most likely twins.
(Yeah... they still love each other.)
It would have been more than enough to separate two people with normal thinking, no? Alas for the world, they were anything but normal...
