genius

For seven billion years, the world’s greatest secret lay buried in the dust of time. When the "Gates" first opened in 2018, humanity was gifted the Modern System—a digital interface of Ranks, Levels, and Mana. But for 18-year-old Ryuu, the System was a curse. Labeled the "Weakest Hunter in the World" (Rank F), Ryuu spends his days as a construction laborer, bleeding just to pay for his mother’s medical bills and his younger brother’s future. But during a suicide mission into a forbidden "Double-Gate," the rules of the world are shattered. Trapped in the Trial of the Three Gods, Ryuu is betrayed by his teammates and left to die at the hands of ancient stone giants. As his life fades and the purple flames of the chamber extinguish, Ryuu’s desperate cry for a "second chance" awakens a power that predates the universe itself.

Death was not dramatic. No prophecy. No sacrifice. No grand farewell. Just a sudden end — and then awakening. When an ordinary young man opens his eyes again, he finds himself in a ruthless cultivation world where strength dictates morality and power decides truth. Sect politics are bloodier than battlefields. Righteous heroes rise beneath heaven’s blessing. The weak are trampled without apology. But fate has not chosen him as a hero. Instead, he awakens the Villain System. A cold, calculating presence embedded in his mind. A system that rewards betrayal. A system that grants power for corruption. A system that grows stronger the more chaos he sows. Sabotage a rising genius? Reward granted. Destroy a rival’s reputation? Reward granted. Turn allies against one another? Greater reward. At first, he resists. He tells himself he is only surviving. Only adapting. Only doing what is necessary in a world that devours the naïve. But every calculated cruelty strengthens him. Every moral compromise sharpens his edge. And slowly, almost imperceptibly, survival turns into ambition. There is a Heaven-Favored Son in this world — a destined protagonist blessed with ancient inheritance, loyal companions, and righteous luck. The system whispers only one directive: Crush him. To survive, he must become what the world fears most — a villain hidden behind a mask of virtue. A strategist who smiles in public and schemes in silence. A cultivator who understands that true evil is not reckless slaughter… but patience. Yet the deeper he sinks into darkness, the more he begins to question: Is he using the system? Or is the system shaping him? In a realm where immortals are forged from ambition and blood, he will rise — not as a hero bathed in light… But as the shadow that devours it.

What happens when a Hanma is dropped into the Lookism world? He is not the anime Baki. He is not the legendary Hanma from another universe. He is just a boy born with a body that refuses to obey normal rules. He grows up in a world where gangs decide law, fists decide status, and weakness is punished without mercy. He does not start as a monster, but his body learns faster, adapts faster, and endures more than it should. By the time others realize something is wrong, it is already too late to treat him like an ordinary fighter. He does not chase fame or chaos, but he does not avoid violence when it becomes unavoidable. Each fight leaves marks on bodies, walls, and reputations, and each step forward forces him deeper into the brutal hierarchy of Lookism. As his presence spreads, familiar events begin to shift, alliances fracture, and organizations that once dominated the underworld start to feel pressure they cannot explain. If you want to see a Hanma walk into the Lookism world and dismantle its strongest fighters, and rewrite the balance of power with raw physical dominance and calculated decisions, then you are in the right place. This is not a story about instant supremacy. This is a story about a body that evolves, a mind that adapts, and a world that slowly realizes it created something it cannot control. Disclaimer: All credits belong to the original creators of Lookism and Baki. I do not own these characters or their worlds, except for the original characters I create. This version of Baki Hanma is not the same as the one from the anime. He only shares the name and abilities, while his personality and story are different. The cover image is not mine. If the original creator requests its removal, I will remove it.

In the stillness before the storm, she was a masterpiece of cold elegance. Riha was the perfect tool. As the "Shadow Lord" of the Shadow Vile, she moved through the darkness to protect a family that treated her like a ghost. She expected a life of service; she didn't expect the daggers in her back. Betrayed by her own blood and left to drown in the silver depths of the Star-Glow Lake, Riha’s life didn't just flash before her eyes—it shattered. But as she sank into the crushing darkness, the Abyss didn't take her soul. It recognized its ruler. They wanted a sacrificial lamb to die in the dark. Instead, they birthed a Sovereign who would command it. "The stars witnessed my fall. Now, the world will tremble at my return."

Zhang Wen was born into a high level family. He possessed status, bloodline, and a bright future ahead of him. He also had a younger brother with the highest level of talent. He was raised amid warmth, gentle teachings, the smiles of adults, and care that appeared sincere in every single day. Everything seemed perfect until the day he turned eighteen. On that day, memories from another world awakened within him. In his previous life, he had been a spy. A man who lived in the shadows, surrounded by betrayal and manipulation, treated as nothing more than a disposable tool. A single wrong decision during a mission led to its failure, and as a result, he was silently eliminated. His life as a spy ended just like that. But when he opened his eyes again, the world before him was no longer the same. This was a world where people could cultivate. A world where power could change fate. A world where lifespans could be extended, and the strong could stand above all rules. When fragments of memories from both worlds merged, Zhang Wen did not receive the chance to begin a peaceful new life. Instead, he was pushed directly into the worst possible situation. His younger brother was framed. Branded as a demonic cultivator. Labeled as a calamity that would bring ruin upon the family. And on the day when everything reached its darkest point, the person they had called mother for many years was the first to turn her back on them. She claimed it was for the protection of the family, for maintaining stability. She said that extracting his younger brother’s sacred bone was necessary. Her words sounded noble, filled with reason, and were supported by the elders within the clan. But for Zhang Wen, who had just regained his memories, he knew a secret about the woman who had raised them. This had never been protection. It was never love. It was cultivation for the sake of harvest. At that very moment, when the family became a trap, escaping was no longer merely an option. It became the only thing he could do. As he fled the clan with his younger brother, surrounded by pursuit and the line between life and death, a voice suddenly echoed within his consciousness.

Ymir Celestie of Lunar. He was a character I cherished because his design was modeled after me. One of the finest creations, and a central antagonist in the game I was working on. But if someone asked whether I’d ever want to live his life, I’d probably stare at them and wonder what kind of nonsense they were spouting. Because Ymir’s existence wasn’t one a person could truly endure. He was the kind of prince who would sacrifice even himself, if the trade promised greater gain. . . . And here I was… reincarnated as a psychopath, hiding behind the mask of a prince, and a professor. --- Disclaimer: All characters, events, and mythologies depicted in this work are entirely fictional.

Once, he ruled the heavens—an emperor of light, unrivaled and eternal. But betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, and a single misstep casts him from his celestial throne. Banished, stripped of divine power, he tumbles into a world of mortal cruelty, where gods are whispers and survival is earned through blood and cunning. In this harsh realm, kingdoms clash, shadows conceal deadly plots, and ancient powers awaken in forgotten corners. Allies emerge from the unlikeliest of places—rogue sorcerers, lethal assassins, and mystical beasts—while enemies, both human and divine, close in with relentless fury. Yet the heart of a sovereign cannot be broken. Every battle ignites legend, every decision reshapes fate. His journey is not just about reclaiming the heavens—it is a war to redefine destiny itself, to wield a power that even gods dare not challenge. In a world where betrayal, ambition, and myth collide, only the cunning survive—and the banished sovereign’s rise will either shatter realms or forge a new order that none will forget.

Hana thought she knew how to play the game. After getting kicked out of every school in the city, the quiet mountain town of Villaluz was supposed to be her final destination. But the rules here are different. When she enters a high-stakes rivalry with Jaden-the town's golden boy with a dark streak-she thinks she's just fighting for status. She doesn't realise she's being groomed. From uncooked meat to dancing with the devil, Jaden is pulling her deeper into a world of primal rituals and ancient shadows. Their "disease" isn't a medical mystery-it's a hunger. In Villaluz, the party doesn't end until the sacrifice is made. And this year, Hana is the guest of honour. Hana felt her pulse thrum in her chest as Jaden stepped closer, the dim light of the room casting shadows across his sharp features. His eyes locked onto hers, piercing, unrelenting, as if he were looking straight into her thoughts. "Look into my eyes, darling," he murmured, his voice low and smooth, brushing over her like a velvet threat. "You, Hana... are worth every single thing. Even if it means taking another's life." She swallowed, forcing her hands to remain steady, refusing to let the tremor in her chest betray her. His gaze sharpened, searching hers, testing. "I'm not very patient. Will you let me?" Hana's lips pressed into a thin line. Her mind screamed caution, yet a flicker of curiosity dared her to meet his challenge. She wouldn't let him see her fear-not fully. She wouldn't give him that. But with an invitation to the most dangerous party of the year and a coded warning from a missing friend, Hana barely realises that she is running out of time. Love is a trap. The village is a cage. written by P.L.ADMIRAL.(praise hope)

That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."
