SSS Ranked Talent: I Can Upgrade My Skills Infinitely

He was a desperate survivor in a world devoured by monsters and gods, only to be granted a second chance. Reborn two years in the past, Alvian awakens moments before the launch of the hyper-realistic VR game "gods domain." He knows the horrifying truth: this is no game. In one year, the Convergence will merge worlds, and humanity will be the prey. During character creation, he makes a gamble that defies all logic. He abandons all pre-set classes for the custom class: "SkillBurst"...no starting skills, no stat bonuses...a path to failure for anyone else. As the system processes his suicidal choice, a new alert flashes before his eyes: [The System, recognizing this extreme handicap, has granted a compensatory reward!] [Ding! You have acquired the Sole SSS-Rank Talent: Super Upgrade System!] Instantly, the rules of the game are shattered. His path is no longer one of desperation, but of absolute domination. ———————— [You have learned the Legendary skill (Shadow Weave)!] [Super Upgrade System Activated! The skill has bypassed its limits!] [Congratulations on acquiring [Shadow Weave +2], granting damage immunity and near-perfect uptime!] While other players grind starter mobs, Alvian becomes an invisible phantom, assassinating a high-level exam boss before anyone can even react. While the academy’s elite follow the rules, Alvian exploits his future knowledge to gain legendary skills and world-first achievements. [You have learned the flawed AOE spell (Frost Descent), noted as un-upgradable with a high chance of self-injury.] [Super Upgrade System Activated!] [Congratulations! The self-harm drawback has been REMOVED! The spell now deals catastrophic damage and applies a powerful slowing debuff!] Armed with a talent that breaks the very concept of limits, Alvian’s rise is unstoppable. Dismissed as a cheater by the academy’s top prodigy? He leaves her in the dust, turning her rivalry into conflicted awe and eventually, hard-earned respect. Faced with an unkillable Apostle of a Calamity Demon? He achieves a World-First kill that puts his name on the global stage and reveals a terrifying truth: the apocalypse is coming faster than he ever predicted. Considered a classless anomaly? He conquers the Overlords Academy Championship, forges a legendary weapon, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear humanity's last bastion apart from the inside. But Alvian’s greatest power isn’t just his talent—it's the knowledge of the horrors to come. He will infiltrate doomsday cults, battle corrupted leaders, and stand against a newly awakened Demon God. Follow Alvian's journey from a traumatized survivor to a world-breaking anomaly. With the Convergence accelerating and humanity's last bastion falling from the sky, will his one-of-a-kind talent be enough to avert the end of the world, or will this second chance be his last?

Chronicles of the First Age

Before history, before kingdoms, before language or law, the world died and was born again. In the ashes of a forgotten age, the Earth awakened to a second beginning—its lands reshaped, its oceans teeming with monstrous life, and its air overflowing with dormant power. From this primal chaos, humanity rose once more: scattered, weak, and ignorant of the ancient forces pulsing beneath their feet. But the world remembers what they do not. When a young tribal chief survives a near-fatal encounter with a beast strong enough to tear mountains in the ages to come, a spark ignites within him. Through instinct, suffering, and an unyielding desire to shield his people, he becomes the first of humanity to step onto a path long lost: the path of cultivation. From the first breath of strength to the birth of concepts—Wisdom, Balance, War, Justice, Forging—new powers awaken among men. Tribes grow into clans, clans into nations, and the once-primitive world stirs with the early heartbeat of civilization. But as humanity rises, so too do envy, ambition, and darkness. An ancient order begins to weave itself into reality: the Mandate of Heaven, a system through which the world itself chooses who may lead, who may ascend, and who may shape the destiny of all living beings. Those who grasp Concepts may transcend mortality. Those who refine them may become gods. The First Age chronicles: - the rise of the First God of Wisdom and Balance, who lifts humanity out of savagery - the forging of rival gods—of War, Justice, Might, Betrayal, Devotion, and more - the clash between humanity’s potential and the beasts that ruled the world before them - the wars that shape continents - the first artifacts, the first laws, the first civilizations - the proto-mythical beasts evolving toward true dragons, phoenixes, leviathans, and beyond - the cosmic awakening that signals Earth’s place in the wider universe For every god born, a shadow grows. For every tribe united, a rival rises. For every spark of wisdom, a deeper mystery unfolds. This is the story of the world’s first cultivators. The story of how men became more than men. The story of gods being forged—from flesh, bone, and will alone. When the First Age ends, nothing of the old world will remain. And from its ashes, the age of gods will begin.

Between Masks (BL)

Two heirs. Two histories. One collision they can't escape. Noah Wellin, 22, was raised inside the rigid world of New York old money—polite, controlled, sculpted by the expectations of Phillips Exeter Academy and later Yale, where refinement is mandatory and emotion is optional. Atlas Sterlins, 26, heir to another Manhattan dynasty, shaped by the same elite pipeline—Phillips Exeter, Yale, and a Stanford MBA—institutions that produce leaders, not lovers; men trained to win, not feel. They come from the same elite orbit: private academies, Upper East Side galas, family alliances, and a social scene where image is everything. Their connection was always there—quiet, tense, dangerous—but they never crossed the line. Until a major partnership forces their families' companies to work together. Suddenly Noah and Atlas are in constant proximity: late-night meetings, travel, deadlines, the pressure of legacy closing in. What they buried for years ignites—slow, sharp, impossible to control. Attraction deepens. Jealousy surfaces. Distance becomes impossible. This is not a gentle love story. This is the unraveling of two men who were never taught how to feel—only how to hide. Between Masks explores: slow-burn M/M tension obsession-driven intimacy New York old-money dynamics high-pressure corporate power plays jealousy and emotional volatility identity conflict and awakening two powerful heirs losing control of the lives they were trained to perfect Told in real time—every shift in energy, every stolen moment, every night where the mask cracks and the truth pushes through—this is the story of desire becoming undeniable and changing everything. Two New York heirs. Years of restraint. One moment that shatters the distance between them. Link: https://books2read.com/between-masks

Cultivator of ACTQUY

In the ancient Red Dragon Empire, a legend whispers of a Golden Dragon born only once every thousand years—cunning, mighty, and destined to rule the night. That dragon was Leo, the crowned prince of all dragonkind… until betrayal struck. After a mysterious voice laughs, “Ha ha ha ha… Goodbye, Leo,” the mighty prince loses everything—his body, his power, and his memories. He awakens as a handsome young man in a filthy room, with nothing but confusion and a single name echoing inside him: Leo. His so-called teacher, the strange and miserable Lord Tuga, mocks him, orders him around, and—most terrifying of all—can hear his thoughts. But beneath Leo’s blank memory sleeps something ancient… something dangerous. When Leo steps into the lively Gu Region for the first time, fate begins to move. A brutal young cultivator threatens the village. A mysterious short merchant gives Leo priceless dragon seeds. And a hidden underground cave leads Leo straight to Su-du, the forgotten spirit of a legendary female cultivator who mistakes him for someone else—and nearly kills him. Inside the cave, Leo’s true nature awakens. A voice speaks in his mind. Flames burst from his body. His soul splits into a thousand shadows. He has begun the first step on the path of cultivation—and something within him remembers how to dominate. But the Gu Region is only the beginning. Powerful young masters, savage sub-cultivators, monstrous geniuses, and deadly clans all prepare for the upcoming Red Dragon Empire Competition, where only ten will survive to become the feared Red Dragons. And in the shadows of the empire… …the voice that once said “Goodbye Leo” begins to stir again. As enemies rise and destiny unfolds, Leo must uncover who he truly is— A useless student? A reincarnated prince? A living weapon? Or the return of the Golden Dragon of the Night, feared by heaven itself? IT BEGINS

100x Rewards: Draconic Evolution As An NPC

Once the strongest demon in the cultivation world, Kaizen spiraled toward madness after the death of his dao companion. At his deathbed, wounded and broken, unable to reach the final realm, Kaizen struck at the heavens in fury. In that single, desperate strike, he unknowingly seized a treasure. Instead of dying, Kaizen was transmigrated in the past. Everything had changed. The heavens had punished the cultivation world for its broken laws. Its fate? Its timeline forcibly regressed and transformed into a game world. Another world, young and brimming with potential, had just reached the threshold to awaken its first power system. And it received an RPG system. To gain real-world powers, its people now had to enter the regressed Cultivation World, which functioned as their game world. There, they would level up, gain skills, complete quests, and battle monsters, earning strength that carried over into the real world. To them, it was a game that defined their future. To Kaizen, it was his past, his battlefield. Now, he existed as an NPC, one who remembered everything. One who was bestowed with a Draconic lineage. And unlike the others of the cultivation world, Kaizen had an upgraded player interface despite being an NPC. He gained experience 100x faster than anyone else. Where others got 10 experience for killing a rat, he got 1,000. Where others completed a mission for 100,000, he walked away with 10 million. Where others crafted an artifact for a million, he earned a 100 million. Who could stop him?
