Rise Of The Relentless

In a world where power is everything, every child is born with Aether—the energy that shapes strength, status, and destiny. Everyone… except Kael Draven. Born without even a trace of Aether, Kael is branded a failure in a kingdom that worships power. Mocked by elites and ignored by society, he still dreams of the impossible: becoming the Supreme Commander of Aether, the leader of all who wield it. With nothing but relentless training, sharp instincts, and an unbreakable will, Kael refuses to surrender to fate. When the Aether Trials begin, Kael is placed into Iron Resolve, the academy’s worst and most ridiculed team—a group marked by black stars and known only for failure. Meanwhile, his childhood rival, the prodigy Rion Valeris, joins the most elite squad, earning gold stars with ease and standing at the peak Kael can only chase. Among Kael’s team is Lyra Selendis, a noble girl whose unstable Aether has made her the laughingstock of her family and peers. Forced together, resentment slowly turns into trust, and trust into something deeper, as Kael’s determination inspires his team to rise. One mission at a time, black stars are erased, gold stars are earned, and Iron Resolve begins its climb from the bottom to the top. But their growth draws dangerous attention. In the shadows, the followers of Malrik Noctis, a terrifying figure seeking to tear the kingdom apart, begin to move. As conspiracies unfold and war looms closer, Kael is forced to confront the truth hidden within himself—a power unlike Aether, a strength born not from energy, but from will. With rivals closing in, enemies rising, and the fate of the kingdom at stake, Kael must prove that leadership is not granted by power… but forged through resolve. This is the story of a powerless boy who refuses to kneel— and the legend he will carve into the world.

The Illusion of Heaven

After three hundred years as a legendary grandmaster in a glorious cultivation world, Zhung Hang dies peacefully in his death bed, only to awaken in a modern hospital bed. Doctors smile kindly and tell him it was nothing but a coma-induced dream. Stripped of every achievement, every bond, every shred of meaning, he returns to a life where no one ever truly wanted him. Parents who saw him as a burden. A little brother who died forgotten. Love that was never love. On a rainy night, he slits his throat and makes one final vow: “If reality is crueler than any dream, I will carve the next one with my own hands, even if I have to become something neither demon nor saint.” Death refuses him. He awakens again, reborn as an eight-year-old boy named Zhung in a third, far crueler world. Here, there is no qi, no spiritual roots, no merciful heaven. Power is measured by the **Nine Refinements of Will**, a brutal path where mortals must drink the fresh blood of divine or demonic beasts to tear open an **Aperture** inside their flesh. One wrong drop can leave you a conscious vegetable feeling eternal agony. One deep wound can strip a lifetime of progress in seconds. In this world, Zhung has only one light: his mother Zheng Han, the third and person in three lifetimes who has ever loved him without condition. For eight years he remains powerless, hiding behind a gentle smile while secretly feeding travellers to a beast in the forest cave, waiting for the day its blood will let him begin. He does not walk the righteous path. He does not walk the demonic path. He walks the **Broken Path**, a third road forged from the refusal to ever again be heaven’s tragic puppet. A dark, slow-burn xianxia of cosmic betrayal, quiet maternal love, and a soul that will gamble everything just to protect the one person who never asked him to be anything more than her son. The heavens wrote the first two tragedies. The third one will be his.

He was addicted to the brutal, open-world simulation known for its 99.9% mortality rate, a digital hellscape defined by the "Blooming Decay Event" that swallowed humanity twenty millennia ago. He died thousands of times to the acid-drenched fangs of Spore Beasts and the lung-collapsing rot of cyclonic spore storms. Pushed to the brink of frustration by the game's impossibility, Scott spent weeks coding a balancing script—a "Shelter Core" cheat designed to defy the game’s cruel fate. However, things took another extreme turn as Scott woke up trapped in the body of a "Critically Weakened" Shelter Lord on Sporos, with a remaining lifespan of only 17 years. He is now a mutated survivor struggling to breathe in a world where the atmosphere is thick with corrosive pollen and the ground is buried beneath miles of sentient, hungry mycelial mats. However, the code came with him. Floating before his eyes is the interface that will change the fate of this rotting world. While the horrors of Sporos—the flesh-eating Bio lilies and the hallucinations of the Feral Echo, Scott begins his grind. He possesses the unique ability to inject fixed experience points into his very DNA, forcing evolution where nature intended decay. —- [ First Ordered Foundation Gene: Lvl 0 Bull's Frame] [ Effect (Lvl 0): Physical attributes +1, One fixed point of upgrade experience is gained daily, with additional, random experience points earned through continuous exercise. ] [ Upgrade Path: Each level will directly repair and enhance the user's physical body by an additional 50% each level by restoring bone density, rebuild atrophied muscle, and increase overall physical strength, durability, and resilience.] [ Upgrading First Ordered Foundation Gene: Bull's Frame from Lvl 0 to Lvl 1... ] [ Upgrading First Ordered Foundation Gene: Bull's Frame from Lvl 1 to Lvl 2... ] . .
