Lián Wúyǐ was born into greatness, the third prince of the revered Celestial Orchid Empire, a bloodline tracing back to ancient star spirits and divine blossoms. Yet from the moment of his birth, the heavens declared him worthless. His spirit root was dull. His meridians were frail. His talent was mocked by nobles, ignored by tutors, and pitied by servants. The boy who should have shone brightest became the empire’s quiet embarrassment. But none of them knew the truth. Lián Wúyǐ carried a past life The life of a man who believed in nothing. A nihilist soul untouched by fear, pride, desire, or hope. His rebirth was meant to be a curse. Instead, it became the foundation of a miracle. Wúyǐ discovers a flaw in the world’s Dao or perhaps a flaw in its understanding. For where others seek meaning, he sees the void. Where others chase fate, he unravels it. Where others bind themselves to emotion, he walks free. Heaven can restrain greed, wrath, ambition, and desire… But how does one restrain a man who believes in nothing? Lián Wúyǐ, the once-scorned prince, will either become the empire’s greatest sage or its final catastrophe.

In the city of echoes, some love stories never end... they just loop. Every evening at the stroke of sunset, Aryan sits in a forgotten corner of a Shimla cafe called ‘The Last Page,’ waiting for a girl who vanished three years ago. His only connection to her is a cryptic diary and a key that fits no lock he knows. But tonight, the atmosphere changes. The snow falls upwards, and a mysterious courier delivers a second key—one that leads to a forbidden basement in a ruined fortress. As Aryan descends into the dark, the lines between reality and delusion begin to shatter. He finds Meera, his lost love, but she is not the girl he remembers. She is a weaver of stories, claiming that Aryan is merely a character in a tragic book that she is writing. Or is it the other way around? From the haunting corridors of a mental asylum to a surreal time-loop where every choice leads to a bloody end, Aryan must confront the ultimate suspense: Is he a grieving lover lost in a ghost story? * A patient trapped in the labyrinth of his own mind? * Or is he a soul being kept alive by a writer who refuses to type the final "The End"?

But instead of a "Game Over," the System forces a Mandatory Redemption Arc. Kaelen is regressed back to his days as a low-level academy student. The catch? The System has calculated the "Total Karma Debt" for his future crimes. Every time he levels up or gains power, he is hit with a "Karma Tax" that physically weakens him or drains his mana unless he performs a "Heroic Deed."

In the year 2147, humanity no longer fights with guns or machines alone — they fight with genes. After the discovery of Primal Gene Fragments hidden within mysterious dimensional rifts, scientists unlocked the ability to evolve human DNA beyond its natural limits. The world entered the era of Gene Evolution. Cities became fortresses, corporations became gene empires, and the strong devoured the weak. But evolution is expensive. Only the elite can afford powerful gene upgrades. Kai Ren, a poor slum scavenger living at the edge of Mega City Helios, survives by collecting scraps from abandoned rift zones. During one dangerous expedition, he discovers a forbidden relic buried inside a collapsed alien ruin. Instead of killing him, it binds to his DNA. [Ultra Gene Evolution System Activated] Unlike normal gene users who must buy or steal genetic upgrades, Kai gains something impossible — a system that allows infinite evolution. Devour mutant beasts. Absorb alien DNA. Break the limits of human biology. Each evolution pushes him closer to something unknown… something no longer human. But Kai soon discovers the truth. The rifts were not natural. They were doors. And something beyond them is evolving as well.
