(There are few chapters which has indentation issues, due to the site glitch. I would recommend the readers to read the novel on Royals Road if you find any difficulty. I have tried fixing them, but some chapters retain those problems) In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide—navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world’s control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)

Life is dark and meaningless. That was what it had taught every single day I'd been cursed to live it. And now, finally, it was coming to an end. My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

Synopsis After wrapping months of nonstop filming, A-list actress 'Su Long' finally collapses from exhaustion in her hotel room. But when she wakes up… she isn’t in the real world anymore. She has transmigrated into the very historical drama she just finished acting in. Even worse.... she’s not the heroine. She has become Su Long, the notorious evil wife of the powerful General Fu and the cruel stepmother of his two young sons. In the script, this woman’s ending is miserable; exposed, abandoned, and left to die alone. And she has awakened on the very day the Fu family is framed for treason, stripped of titles, and sentenced to exile. But unlike the original Su Long… this Su Long has a secret. A calm voice grants her a system, along with an infinite storage space a world within a world, filled with resources, tools, medicine, and endless potential. As guards escort the disgraced family toward exile, Su Long simply crosses her arms and smirks. > “Exile? Ha! I have an infinite space.” Determined to rewrite fate, she decides three things: 1- survive 2- protect her two little boys, including her in-laws 3- and turn the cold, indifferent General Fu into her little fan boy.

On a storm-soaked night, seventeen-year-old Haruto Shikigami loses everything. His parents are slaughtered before his eyes by a devil born from humanity's fears. Yet when death stands before him, Haruto feels something strange—not fear, not anger, not grief. Nothing. That night changes when he becomes the vessel of the legendary Crimson Devil, a calamity responsible for one of history's bloodiest tragedies. Branded a threat to humanity and hunted by powerful factions, Haruto is taken to the Tokyo Institution of Exorcists, where humans form dangerous covenants with devils to fight back against the darkness. Surrounded by prodigies, monsters, and broken souls, Haruto struggles to control the power sleeping inside him. Alongside his teammates—Shimi Horimiya, a girl haunted by a tragic past and the scars of the Blast Devil, and Yamado Kahanru, an arrogant genius who trusts no one—he is thrust into a world of deadly missions, political conspiracies, and ancient secrets. Guiding them is Adryn, an unpredictable exorcist who possesses multiple devil covenants and hides far more than he reveals. As forgotten massacres resurface, powerful organizations move in the shadows, and the truth behind the Crimson Devil begins to emerge, Haruto discovers a terrifying reality: The greatest devils are not always born from fear. Sometimes they are born from humanity itself. In a world where every covenant demands a price, friendships are tested, families are torn apart, and survival often means sacrificing a part of yourself. The question is not whether Haruto can save the world. It's whether he can save himself before the Crimson Devil consumes him completely.
