Starcore Chronicles : Deep Awakening

Kann_Kisan
In a future where Earth has become a forgotten relic of the past, humanity has spread across the stars under the rule of the powerful Star Federation. But deep beneath the surface of Mars lies a secret lost to time—a relic known only in myth: the Starcore, a cosmic artifact holding unimaginable power and ancient knowledge that could reshape the galaxy… or destroy it. Seventeen-year-old Li Yan, a low-ranking excavation trainee from Mars' outskirts, stumbles upon the hidden ruins during a routine mission. When he accidentally activates the Starcore, he becomes the center of a galactic storm—marked by strange powers and hunted by every major faction in the known universe. His only ally is Bai Ling, a mysterious girl from a forgotten race known as the Voidkeepers. Together, they must escape assassins, rogue AI, alien remnants, and the Federation’s elite forces as they journey to uncover the true purpose of the Starcore and the prophecy tied to Li Yan’s blood. In a race against time and tyranny, Li Yan must embrace his destiny, unlock the secrets of the stars, and face a truth buried in the heart of creation itself. The war for the galaxy has already begun. He just didn’t know he was the trigger.

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
