Although this is a translated fanfiction, I sincerely encourage you to read at least the first 50 chapters.

This isn't just a simple translation; I’ve put a great deal of effort into rewriting and enhancing the narrative to make it truly unique.

Charles Kosonen walked into a hidden bar one night expecting nothing but a good drink. He had only visited on one of his random whims, something to spice up his endlessly boring days as a man born with everything, yet utterly dissatisfied with everything. He quickly found a seat at the bar. Then he noticed a beautiful girl lingering by the stage, chatting with the band like she was their singer. Beautiful, she was, with those brilliant blue eyes, deep as sapphire, and her long black hair flowing carelessly down her back. But in the world he lived in, beauty was always in abundance, and for a pair of eyes so used to gems, even a shining jewel could start to lose its luster. The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smirk. He'd come for the drinks, as one of his business partners had praised when recommending this place. The singing was merely an extra. Or so he thought. The moment the liquid in his crystal-clear glass touched his lips was when the girl took the stage. The moment the cold sip slid down his throat was when her lips parted. And then she sang. The glass froze in his hand. If an angel could sing, why would she choose to descend into this hidden bar, of all places? The song wasn't a particularly popular one. The band behind her was just C-class amateur. And yet, with her voice alone, she took the song, polished it into a gemstone, and made it hers. He looked around the room. It wasn't just him, but every single man present there that night had their eyes glued to her, their face a mesmerized expression. A decision was made. He would have her under his wing, no matter what it cost.

The Dark Hero's Choice: Azazel is a 16-year-old prodigy who never had a childhood. Raised as an international information broker and hacker, his life is a string of fake identities, encrypted deals, and narrow escapes from every intelligence agency on the planet. When he's finally caught by the FBI, he's given a choice: face the full force of the law, or undergo "rehabilitation" in a Tokyo high school, living under the watchful eye of a government handler. He chooses Tokyo, viewing it as just another cage to escape. He plans to use the city's criminal underbelly to regain his power and freedom. But his plans are derailed by two unexpected developments. First, he meets Ruyi Ironveil, a mysterious, perceptive classmate who sees through his aloof facade. Against his will, he finds himself forming his first genuine connection, leading to a tender, real romance that offers him a taste of the normal life he never knew he wanted. Second, after Ruyi gives him a precious family heirloom—an ancient necklace—it violently activates, tearing him from his Tokyo apartment and hurling him into a dangerous fantasy world.

He died clutching a phantom feather. He awoke in a world where birds fly backwards. It was only the first page of his eleven-part damnation. My name is Mo Fei. One moment, I was a normal student. The next, I was chosen by a cursed feather in a sky-writing ritual and torn from my world. I awoke in a serene, impossible field—World 1. The sun was a cold silver coin. The silence was a physical weight. Tied to my wrist was a silk ribbon, embroidered with eleven numbers. The first one glowed. I soon learned the rules of my new existence: 1. Each world is a layer of surreal, escalating horror. 2. To move forward, you must survive until the world itself forces you out. 3. The ribbon is your only map, counting down your journey through the madness. My goal is no longer to understand. It is to endure. To outlast the haunting melody of a glass city, the predatory patience of a bone-monster, and the creeping exhaustion that promises to evict me into World 3. But here is the truest, most terrifying rule, the one I discovered when my first "death" sent me here: This is a cycle. When I finish the eleventh world… I do not go home. I start again from the beginning. And I remember everything.

The Divine Spirit, Vasana, found its vessel in Fuyu, a young boy dwelling in a primitive world whose existence was defined solely by farming and survival. From Vasana, Fuyu learned about the existence of Upper Realm and the Immortal World, receiving his life's new goal: to follow the path of Immortality with Vasana's guidance. Join him on this journey to transcend his humble, ignorant origins and become a true Divine Immortal being. "Oh, the power of reincarnation… yet, dying is still a hellish pain. Therefore, I have no desire to die." "But you will surely lose. The Emperor will exterminate you. He witnessed your presence with his wife and daughter, and you stand accused of the theft of the Immortal Sealing Divine Rapture," Vasana, the divine spirit, said with palpable unease. "You are bare-handed in this confrontation, while he possesses immense power and authority across all three regions." Vasana's apprehension was rooted in a deeper worry. The host refused to die, but without activating his third Nadis out of the seventy-two thousand before his passing, Fuyu would be unable to reincarnate himself. "Should he fail, I will be forced to seek out another soul. But the world order, which maintains peace and stability, will surely discover my mischievous actions. It would be disastrous for me to incur the punishment of the Heavenly Court for such meddling." "Do not worry, I will not lose." Fuyu smiled, his gaze descending from the Aphrodisiac Mountain of Purple Lilies. His eyes penetrated the deep, swirling sea of clouds below. His purple robe, interwoven with threads of gold, waved as if by an unseen cosmic current, lending him the majestic appearance of an Immortal God capable of sealing the heavens themselves. "Fuc× you if you lose.." Vasana, the Divine Spirit exclaimed in annoyance as she was worried about the consequences of losing and finding other soul. " Oh I would love to.." Nilvarma, smiled as he was ready to face the danger awaiting for him. It would start from primitive world and go to cultivation world as it's destination. It will take some time till he reach Immortal world so until then enjoy the primitive world he was living in. You are going to love his grand masti. The words quality would increase after 56th chapter so bear with it.
