--WSA 2025 ENTRY--

The world doesn’t care about the weak. Eryn learned that young. No strength, no talent, no future. Just another forgotten face, another name swallowed by the crowd. Until the Illusionist System found him.

It didn’t make him a god. He couldn’t crush mountains or lead armies. It gave him lies—fragile, dangerous lies. Illusions that turned nothing into something, weakness into strength, and truth into whatever he needed it to be. But lies are sharp things, cutting deep, even the one who wields them.

Eryn’s lies bought him time, made him cunning, made him dangerous. They shaped him into someone the world couldn’t ignore. But every lie tangled the truth tighter. Kings watched him. Warriors hunted him. Gods measured him. And the system? Its secrets ran darker than he’d ever imagined.

This isn’t about heroes or villains. It’s about survival. About a man with nothing who clawed his way out of the shadows. About lies sharp enough to topple kingdoms and truths heavy enough to crush a man.

When the lies unravel, what’s left of him?

My Skills Are a Lie: The Illusionist System is a story of ambition and survival, where illusions blur into reality, and every victory demands a price. A raw, unflinching tale for those who dare to see the truth hidden behind the lies.

    Honestly the best sports book I have read in a while. And this comes from a person who doesn't like Webnovels of this genre that much. But the author's words seems to have a magical effect. You would feel as if you are self inserting into the characters. Each one is a human, an allegory of what we could and couldn't become, what one wishes to do in life and what one wants to achieve. In all honesty sport lovers should give this one a try, for I haven't seen any competitive web novel that stays truthful to the realism this much. Truly a great work.

    This has got to be one of the best stories I've seen.. I absolutely love how while being ridiculously powerful the character developes in other ways.. Being in the mind of something almost akin to the devil is quite interesting even if the characters originally human.

    It's a decent if generic story, with a Gaming like system and Portals. The Quality and the story are a average, the Characters are a little bit above average.Like I said the story is decent, if you are not awaiting super High-Level stuff and just want something more inline with what you have read of this type its pretty good. The setup is not unsimilar to Solo Leveling, even if many points are different, like instead of Dungeons you have those reaper. I have read much worse and the story itself is Solid.3.8/5

    So our mc transmigrate to another world where there are martial spirits, they thought he was really talented until they discovered he has no martial spirit. Well of course just like any other novel out there, our mc 'suddenly' have found a cheat where he can devour martial spirits. So it is kinda cliche but If you are into stories like this, you could give it a try.

    "Bro, you feel that too? Seems as if we're being watched." It was Sabira, talking through the mental link that they shared. The link allowed them to converse while Sabira was in wolf form and, while the link could be switched to others, he mainly kept it connected to Juda's consciousness allowing him to feel what he felt and vice versa.

    A sleeping Lion was woken up by a Mouse running over his face. He got up angrily and caught the scared little Mouse. He was about to kill the Mouse, but it said in its squeaky little voice, "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed at such nonsense, but he let him go. A short time later, though, the Lion was caught by some hunters. They bound him by ropes to the ground. The Mouse recognized his roar, and he rushed over and gnawed the rope with his teeth, setting the Lion free. The Mouse said "You laughed at the idea of my ever being able to help you. Now you know that it is possible for even a small little Mouse to help a great big Lion."
