You live in the United States? Imagine if blue mana rain fell and dragons descended from the sky, lifeless, straight into your city or at your doorstep? Tell me what's gonna be the outcome? Lemme guess; mana fuses into everything, including life forms and the non-living and plants will be like, "I will kill everything", or even four-legged mammalian animals fused with mana begin to grow wings. It's gonna be a damn chaos with a bunch of weird stuff everywhere, I've been there and guess what? I saw a monkey with three asses. Hilarious right? But to me it was terrifying, like, what does a monkey need three damn ass for? But what if this all Mana situation was controlled? What would the results be? Evolution right. Yeah, humans are way too smart to let such an opportunity pass them by, but the same Homo sapiens were devious and selfish; they want all the good things to themselves. In this world, I am Jayden Logan, rejected by my father because I didn't get a great SAT score, but don't worry, I'm a genius. My SATs were low because of these devious humans, you can call them the weapon fashioned against me, but don't worry, I conquered. Eventually, I break through the tough bars of this world of beast taming and gain a beast with potential greater than anyone else's, and I even found true love. But my biggest rival was a scientific organisation, MAGEO and the man in charge? Guess who it was? The United States governor, body and soul. Swears, I was damn fascinated when I realised. They were sure planning something big with those dragons, I wasn't certain of it, but I knew it wasn't good. I don't really know how my story is gonna end, but one thing is certain, I'm gonna cultivate my beast and kick some ass.

In the vast universe, there exist countless stars, planets, and forms of life. Yet now, the entire cosmos stands on the brink of endless destruction. Interstellar cultivators vie for power and treasure, leaving trails of devastation everywhere. But amidst the ruins, a few stars still shine peacefully… unaware of the danger slowly approaching. Zhao Long is a man from the planet Wesu, a world beyond the reach of chaos. Wesu is a fertile planet abundant with resources, where inhabitants live in peace without knowing the outside world is on the verge of collapse. Since childhood, Zhao Long disliked cultivators. Whenever he saw them, he would insult and belittle them. His disdain was born when he witnessed an arrogant cultivator humiliate his father just because of a difference in status. His parents opposed his attitude, but they themselves had no talent in cultivation… just like Zhao Long. Without ability and without genius, he had never been interested in walking the path of Dao Cultivation. But everything changed one day when a spatial crack opened in Wesu's sky. A crimson light descended, swallowing part of the planet. In an instant, Zhao Long lost everything… and for the first time, he regretted not being able to protect anyone. And this is the journey of a young man determined to carve his own path toward immortality. – Replacement series –

[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] [HOST HAS UNLOCKED: SOVEREIGNTY OF GLUTTONY] [HOST HAS UNLOCKED: SOVEREIGNTY OF REPLICATION] [HOST HAS UNLOCKED: SOVEREIGNTY OF ETERNAL] [HOST HAS UNLOCKED: SOVEREIGNTY OF UNBROKEN] [INTEGRATION: 4/49 FRAGMENTS COLLECTED] WARNING: DIMENSIONAL BARRIERS DETERIORATING Brett Lenhart was a modern man who lost his life to a stupid distraction—looking at the wrong thing at the wrong time. He wakes in a deal struck with a goddess whose divine beauty masks dangerous intentions. Now he's Kyrie Shaw, the unwilling avatar of a fragmented god, thrust into a world built on steam, brass, and ambition where Victorian empires clash across dimensional borders. Here, mental power separates the worthy from the worthless. Prophets manipulate futures in oligarchic courts. Warriors prove strength through psionic combat in meritocratic empires. Technocrats hide world-breaking science behind industrial smoke. And in the ruins of a war-torn realm, beast-kin survivors fight against monsters born from despair itself. Kyrie must navigate this maze of political games and dimensional intrigue, guided only by a system whispering in his mind and the fragments of a shattered god calling to him across reality. But there's a cost he didn't foresee: with each fragment collected, with each surge of power gained, the barriers holding the dimensions apart crack further. He has no choice but to evolve. To consume. To devour. This is the curse of hosting the essence of Gluttony—the hunger that never ends, the power that never satisfies. Caught between nations surging to war, Kyrie becomes both scapegoat and savior. But the political squabbles of mortals pale before the true threat stirring in the cracks between worlds. The Nether Realm—a dimension of entities born from humanity's pain, rage, and despair—hungers to return everything to nothingness. As reality fractures and monsters pour through the widening breaches, Kyrie must stand as the final defense. Or is it the first line? The distinction hardly matters when existence itself hangs in the balance. To survive, he must reclaim the fragments. To protect those he's grown to care for, he must master powers that threaten to erase who he was. To save a world on the brink of collapse, he must become the very thing he feared the most. A god with nothing left to hold onto. But Brett Lenhart refuses to disappear without a fight. And the bonds he forges with the women around him, the steamy nights they spend together and the love of everyone he knows might be the only anchors keeping his humanity intact. This is the story of a man forced to devour divinity piece by piece, surrounded by women drawn to the power he's becoming and the person he's desperately trying to remain. Every fragment brings him closer to godhood. Every bond pulls him back toward mortality. In the end, only one question matters: When the last fragment slots into place and the final seal breaks, will Brett Lenhart still exist to face what comes through—or will only Kyrie, the Gluttonous God Remain. ------ I Adapt,. I Consume. To Transcend.

In the heavenly realm, the immortal dragon after cultivating for half of time, hit a bottleneck that lasted the age of a hundred universes. Frustrated with his stagnation, the dragon accused the heavenly hierarchy of concealing cultivation techniques from the attendants of the heavenly court in order to maintain their control over the path of reincarnation. Proactive and cunning, the dragon devised the soul refinement process, a dark art that allowed the caster to view the entire life of a soul—not for judgment but to absorb its inspiration, knowledge, and skills, at the cost of destroying the soul in the process. The dragon, ever scheming, shared this forbidden technique with the heavenly court, causing its users to grow rapidly in power. This led to chaos within the hierarchy of the heavenly realm, spiraling it into confusion and upheaval. Eventually, the dragon staged a coup, aiming to change the fate of all souls within the river of time. During the height of the war, however, the dragon mysteriously disappeared from the heavenly realm, only to reappear in a secret realm of its own creation. Now, the immortal dragon has created pocket dimensions, concealed from the view of deity beings and the path of reincarnation. In these hidden realms, the dragon devours the souls of all who inhabit them upon their death, absorbing their knowledge and skills in a quest to transcend its limitations and ascend back to the deity realm. The dragon's empire spans multiple dimensional worlds, where civilizations rise and fall under its rule as it seeks a way to return to the heavenly realm with unprecedented power. Niu, a world-renowned 21st-century physicist, dies in a particle accelerator explosion while searching for the God particle. He is now the only being to have ever experienced reincarnation and hopes to share this gift with the inhabitants of the dragon realm because if he dies here, earth will be next on the dragon's list.

Behind the veil of an ordinary world lived two individuals who were anything but ordinary. Arata Kurosawa’s father and mother were true geniuses—minds that surpassed the limits of human intellect.

Riyan's death was absurd—hit by a truck, then stabbed by a serial killer who mistook him for someone he wasn't. But his second life? That's where things get interesting. He's reincarnated into Saint's Odyssey, the fantasy novel he rage-quit the night before dying. The same story with a "hero" who commits genocide with a holy smile. The same world where gods manipulate mortals like chess pieces and millions worship a sociopath planning to "purge" half the population for "the greater good." And Riyan? He's woken up as the designated villain—condemned not for actual crimes, but for daring to question the hero's divinely-sanctioned massacre. But here's the thing about dying once already: you stop playing by anyone else's rules. The hero has his cult of fanatics. The gods have their rigged game. The world has its prophecies and predetermined endings. Riyan has nothing left to lose and a burning desire to watch it all collapse. No redemption arc. No noble sacrifices. No playing the misunderstood antihero waiting for vindication. If this world wants a villain, he'll become one so magnificent they'll beg for mercy—then make them pay for the privilege. He'll dismantle the hero's twisted messiah complex, expose the gods' sadistic entertainment, and claim his throne over the ashes of their broken system. The villain always loses? Only if they play by the hero's rules. Time to rewrite the ending—in blood. --- [R-18: Dark Fantasy | Antihero Protagonist | Morally Gray | Revenge] The gods wanted a show.

"A mere hunting dog," he mocked aloud. A life lived not for himself, but to satiate his god's will, an inquisitor—the thing he saw as his purpose, his only purpose. From fables, such beings are spoken of with reverence and awe. A person of incomparable noble steed, one who lived with altruism and noble offset, without vice. Ironic, that same fool...No. THE pathetic shit-headed boy he truly was! Naïve he was. A man who had amassed a laundry list of dirty deeds, all in the pursue to satiate his god’s will. Shunned from society, a boy whose birth was that from a common backstreet whore, raised with patronage, growing used to condescending looks, hunger, fear, self-hate, and strife, all of it became to norm, all in order to reach his current self. Now isolated from the world, in a cell behind four impossibly thick walls of steel and concrete. Stolen from his sun, his purpose gone, he waited idle within that cell, awaiting anything... And that something, did happen... In the form of [Terminus]. （*＾-＾*）￣へ￣
