Ashton is stuck between an underwater volcano, and a heart devouring dragon. Metaphorically speaking anyway. The princess of the sea has sworn on her mother's life to drag him down. Problem is, Ashton can't be killed. So after hundreds of years of pulling beasts of legend to her side, rewriting history, and backing him into a corner where he broke his heart into pieces, she thinks that with one final push... she may convince Ashton to simply end his own existence. Ashton is fully aware of her little schemes, it's not every day a dragon get's its still beating heart ripped out, then is bound to the land it ruthlessly conquered. Ashton would have even found it mildly poetic that the slain dragon was now forced to bless the land for all eternity... if, and emphasis on the IF, the blessing hadn't been twisted into a curse for the last 700 years. Now, Ashton has a few minor inconveniences to deal with. First, he's stuck in a decaying body. Second his memories aren't fully intact. Third, it would prick his pride if the descendants of "blessed" dragon died while he was in their territory. Fourth, he has two really, really, REALLY scary siblings that don't always bother with the details. Fifth, the only reason this princess and her mother even had the chance to scheme against him is because he was looking for a possible mate. He's the only one of his kind, thousands of years alone has him craving for a companion... for a heart to sing just for him... There are really only two outcomes now that Ashton is starting to regain his memories. Will the princess succeed in dragging him down, used as the new sacrifice to keep the "blessing" going, or will he ascend? Well, maybe three outcomes. Maybe this time a heart will sing for him as he ascends... a bird can hope.

The world saw a common weed. The Heavens saw a God-Tier catastrophe. After a fatal accident on Earth, Zhao Chen is reborn into the Azure World—a realm where martial spirits define one's destiny and soul rings are the currency of power. He awakens as the son of a prominent merchant family, but his rebirth comes with a duality that would terrify the strongest Soul Sages: the Apex Assistance System and the Nine-Headed Hydra, a God-Tier martial spirit capable of devouring the very essence of the world. To the public, Zhao Chen is a "Hard-Worker" talent with a lowly Thorny Crawling Vine. He plays the role of the humble merchant’s son to perfection, hiding his true cultivation behind layers of System-generated Spiritual Masking. While the geniuses of the Heavenly Pattern Academy flaunt their golden soul rings and noble lineages, Zhao Chen moves through the shadows, using his "weak" vines to systematically drain the life force of high-tier beasts and arrogant rivals alike. But the Hydra is hungry. To awaken its eight dormant heads, Zhao Chen must consume the most refined spiritual energies the empire has to offer. Now, as he enters the prestigious Academy, Zhao Chen must navigate a lethal game of chess against Soul Kings and suspicious Senior Sisters. In a hierarchy built on visibility, his greatest weapon is his invisibility. He doesn't seek to reach the top of the rankings—he seeks to remain the hidden predator beneath them. Because when the mask finally slips, and the ninth head awakens, the Azure World won't be looking for a genius to lead them. They will be praying for a monster to spare them.

In the border city of Santa Fortuna, power is a currency and survival is an art. Cartels rule the streets, politicians sell their souls, and loyalty is worth less than a bullet.

A fast-paced crime saga filled with tension, psychology, brutality, and the relentless climb for power.
