The world rests on the Sea of Suffering. Mortals are reflections on water—beautiful, but not truly there. Only cultivation can make you solid enough that reality bothers to remember your name. Liu Chenming has once in a generation talent. His clan calls him blessed. But the elders who shower him with gifts, the mentor who arrives at the perfect moment, the rivals who test him just enough to make him stronger—none of it is kindness. His clan doesn't just cultivate qi. They cultivate karma. They've been engineering his destiny for years, and he's only just beginning to see the bigger picture. To cultivate is to become real—and the path to becoming real is filled with strategy, caution, manipulation, and moral compromise. What to Expect - An intelligent MC who must navigate schemes to survive - A cultivation system that connects to the metaphysical structure of the world - Consequences that follow choices across chapters and years - A local MC with no hidden memories or cheats - Mysteries that reward attentive readers - An MC who is forced to make moral compromises - Karma as a literal, exploitable force rather than abstract justice - Political intrigue between family branches vying for power - An MC who reasons through problems rather than overpowering them - A world that existed before the MC and doesn't revolve around him

Growing up, Moon was but an avid reader of books. Having lost his parents at a young age and being forced to take care of his sister since then, she and his novels became the only things that mattered in his life. However, not even he had anticipated being caught in the middle of a train accident only to wake up and find himself in the depths of an abysmal chasm. But by the time he came to terms with his new reality, it was a little too late. Thrust into the body of the deuteragonist of his favorite novel, he does something he soon realizes he shouldn't have done… He saves the main villainess of the story and finds himself walking the dark path that led to her inevitable madness… But would he succumb to the fate the plot had woven… or would he change it like he did once?

Raised on Earth by a mother who lied to save his life, Damon is burdened by a forbidden power that literally bends light and is constantly on the verge of purging his own body. Now, ancient gods and demons are pouring onto Earth, some disguised as humans, Chronisouls— some torment, some help. For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that burns him from the inside out, or watch his life on Earth, including the one girl who sees past his walls, shatter forever. From quiet rooftops(literally) to cosmic wars(also literally), Damon must discover if saving existence means losing the fragile human he was trying to be.

In his past life, he died a hero. Reborn as Kai, he was gifted a golden future—until age eight stripped him of everything. Parents vanished. Bloodline broken. Left to rot in the mud while his fiancée ascended to the stars. For seven years, he was invisible. But when he finally touched the Affinity Prism, the Light didn't reject him. The Darkness claimed him. "Why struggle to chase the Heavens when you can simply devour them?" Armed with a forbidden power, guided by a mysterious fox, and commanding the legion of 'Crimson-Void Calamity', Kai rises from the shadows. He will not just rejoin the elite. He will drag them into his domain. The Sovereign has awakened.

Listen to me closely. Never, and I mean NEVER, leave a hate comment on a game forum right before you die. My name used to be... well, it doesn't matter. I was a 34-year-old salaryman who died in the stupidest way possible. How? I got slapped to death for grabbing a high school girl’s "assets". Wait, hold on! Don't look at me like that! It wasn't my fault, okay? My hand just moved on its own! It was just a tiny, split-second intrusive thought! Come on, you guys reading this—don't act like saints. You’ve had those dark urges too, right? You’ve wanted to grab something forbidden at least once in your life, right?! RIGHT?! Anyway, she slapped me. So hard my soul literally ejected from my body. I thought that was the punishment. I was wrong. When I opened my eyes, I was in [Legends of Valtheris]. Yes, that trash game. The one with the cliché plot where the world ends because some teenage students get their hearts broken. And the worst part? I didn't become the Hero. I didn't become the Villain. I became Revan von Alstaire. The background character. The loser. The guy I literally insulted online five minutes before I died. I called him a "Simp" and laughed at his "Tiny D*ck." Fate is truly a comedian. Now, I’m destined to be the bullied lackey of the future Villainess, Sylvia von Vespera. The game script says I should lick her boots, accept her abuse, and die with her like a loyal dog. Screw that. Remember my last comment? "Revan is such a loser! Tiny dck! If I were you, instead of bowing down, I would squeeze her boobs and own her completely! Garbage character!" Well, it seems God took that personally. Fine. You want a show? I’ll give you a show. I won’t be a simp. I won’t filter my words anymore. I’ll let my intrusive thoughts win. I’ll turn this trash plot upside down—even if I have to slap every "Genius" in this academy to do it.

Novan is brilliant, arrogant, and dangerously unbound by rules, an outcast expelled from his family and a prodigy stepping into the heart of power itself. At City Central, where strength is currency and weakness is hunted, he carves his presence into stone with words as sharp as blades and actions that command fear. But beneath his defiance lies a secret tied to death itself; one that refuses to stay buried. As Central’s trials draw closer, Novan must determine whether his pride will become his greatest weapon… or the fall that finally claims him. Power has rules; he has none. In a world where 80% of humanity is gifted with divine powers, the Global Power Authority (GPA) ensures stability, claiming that unregulated abilities would lead to destruction. They enforce strict power usage laws, ranking citizens by their abilities, and secretly conduct illegal experiments to enhance powers beyond their natural limits. But beneath this controlled society, a forbidden truth lingers: what if divine gifts were never meant to be controlled?

Robert Tucker lived in hell—only to be reborn into a world even crueler. He grew up under the same roof as a violent, abusive man: an alcoholic, a gambler, a shadow that turned Robert’s childhood into a relentless nightmare. When Robert finally found refuge in mixed martial arts, everything began to change. At eighteen, with his escape within reach and his future taking shape, a single mistimed blow during a sparring match ended his life. But death was not the end. He awoke in another world, reborn as Marcus Grayson. Fate, however, was merciless. In this new life, Marcus had also been born to an abusive, gambling father—though, by cruel mercy, the man vanished before Marcus could truly know him. Yet this world offered something Robert had never had: a family. For the first time, Marcus believed he could live an ordinary, peaceful life. But hat illusion shattered the moment he learned the truth about the world he now inhabited. This was not Earth. Humanity stood on the brink of extinction, hunted by monsters of countless forms that roamed the land. The only reason humans survived was because of Transformers—individuals capable of abandoning their human shape and becoming monsters themselves in order to fight back. Marcus is one of them. With no grand destiny promised and no safety guaranteed, Marcus can only do one thing: Endure. Grow stronger. Fight. Not for glory, but to protect the fragile family he has been given. Because in this world, survival demands sacrifice— and Marcus has yet to understand what he is truly facing. —————————————————— * No harem. * MC with emotions, not a cold edgy lord. * No system or golden finger. * The other characters matter. * A lot of fights, I love fights. * I accept ideas for powers and characters. —————————————————— * No harem. * MC with emotions, not a cold edgy lord. * No system or golden finger. *The other characters matter. * A lot of fights, I love fights. * I accept ideas for powers and characters.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● In the shadowed stillness, she stood broken, drowned in the memories of a father now gone. Tears fell in a stifled silence—until his tall shadow loomed upon the threshold. He stepped inside, moving slowly. Those eyes, said to carry the scent of blood and a dark, haunted past, locked onto hers. But behind that predatory gaze, a different truth was waiting. His fingers, trembling with restraint, reached for her face. A touch so gentle it was hard to believe those same hands had once closed around the cold hilt of a Jiàn (剑). He gazed into her eyes, but he wasn't looking at her. Deep within, he was searching for someone else. With a fevered longing, he pulled her against his chest, as if chaining her to his very soul. She heard it then—the rapid, thundering rhythm of his heart. A beat that offered solace to her broken heart. Her fear dissolved in the face of his pure grief. In that heavy silence, she clutched at his clothes, resting in the chill of a dangerous man's embrace. This is the story of a man who chose to become a monster in our world, only so he might remain a loyal lover in his own. A man whom history tried to bury; yet some secrets are too heavy for the earth to hold, and perhaps some men are better left forgotten!
