The Betrayal Ye Tianming was the pride of his clan—until the world branded him a failure. In a single day, his status as a "Great Emperor" candidate was stripped away, his family’s lands were targeted by greedy vultures, and his childhood sweetheart abandoned him for a "true" genius. To the world, he was just a powerless mortal; to his enemies, he was a bug to be crushed. The Awakening They were half right: he is a mortal, but of a kind the universe hasn't seen in eons. Ye Tianming possesses the Innate Mortal Body, a physique so profound that "Heavenly Providence" is too lowly to even touch it. With the mysterious Small Tower at his back and the legendary sword Xingdao (The Way-Walker) in his hand, he unlocks a path of power that bypasses the very laws of the Dao. The Domination The time for hiding is over. Ye Tianming isn't interested in fair fights or slow cultivation—he is here for total suppression. From the arrogant sects that bullied his family to the cold-hearted girl who threw him away, all will learn the same terrifying lesson: when a man’s destiny is truly invincible, even the gods must bow their heads or lose them.

What kind of meat was this?" "The fish also offers comfort and an exquisitely delicious taste."

Chen Xi looks at the soldier who just threw a rock weighing a few hundred kilograms away and looks at the sky speechlessly. Is this really the late Eastern Han Dynasty? It doesn't make sense to see Lu Bu single-handedly cut through the ten-thousand-strong cavalry. Zhao Zilong ends up truly possessed by a dragon soul. Is he really human? Dian Wei single-handedly defends Cao Cao as they storm out of the enemy camp and slaughters a few thousand cavalry of the enemy. His combat strength is off the charts! Is there something wrong? Chen Xi touches a goose feather fan and fans it. A strong gale blows and he sighs. "This must be some mythical story, right? Even I'm not normal anymore."

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

If he wanted to boss around, he could do whatever he wanted. I would continue to farm, but if he tried to attack me, then he would not live to see another day. Zhao Hai was a shut-in until he was transmigrated to another world with a farm and taken over the body of a fallen noble. The land that the noble had was one that could not grow anything. He also had a fiance who was the heir to a principality. To make matters even worse, he was talentless in martial arts and magic where he couldn’t even learn both. “So what if I can’t do magic? I have my farm. Let’s see you try and attack me! I’ll let my bugs out to devour all of your military rations! I’ll put pesticides in your water source and grow weeds on your land! Let’s see you try and attack me after that!” “What? You’ll hire assassins to kill me? Try and do that when I’m hiding inside my farmhouse. Once that is over, I’ll rid your country of all your food sources! Your citizens will come after you instead of you coming after me!” The shut-in had a slightly foul personality. This is a story of how he, and his farm, became a nightmare to the people of a world of swords and magic.

I found a portal to a Vanilla Minecraft world. No mods, no cheats, just infinite blocks and monsters that wanted to eat my face. Most people would build a dirt hut and pray for sunrise. Me? I realized I couldn't conquer this world alone. I have the power to 'Possess' mobs, but I only have one soul. I needed an army. So, I did the only logical thing—I called the government. Now, the world’s elite special forces aren't just soldiers; they are the new 'mobs' in my realm. Imagine a Sniper who can teleport like an Enderman. Imagine a battalion of Iron Golems driving modern main battle tanks. While the rest of the world is fighting over dwindling oil and rising electricity prices, my country is building aircraft carriers every single day using infinite iron and coal. We aren't just playing a sandbox game. We are industrializing it. From crashing the global gold market to deploying a hundred-meter-long zombie siege engine, we are the 'National Mod' that the world never saw coming. The 'Vanilla' era is officially over. The question isn't whether we can survive the Minecraft world... it’s whether the real world can survive us.

Li Daoxuan received a strange scenic box. Inside the box, there was an ancient village, and a group of plastic figures, holding swords and knives, hacking and slashing through the village. He bent his finger and flicked it towards a most conspicuous figure... Late in the Ming Dynasty, in Shaanxi, there was a great drought in the land. A gang of mountain bandits was looting, burning, killing, and plundering in the village. A poor maiden was about to be killed under a mountain bandit's blade. Suddenly, a giant hand stretched out from the clouds, bent a finger, flicked it, and the mountain bandit was flung several dozen yards away.

If Naph, a 17 year old, was asked what’s the value of a life? He may answer, “not much.” He would be lying. Extremely. Based on his own experience and his one true goal. Anaphol, aka, Naph, had just killed Bulwark. A 12 year old child designated as a terrorist in a world that is just around the corner to pass its established steampunk era. The bounty on her head? 10 million Tarna. With a condition, ‘bring her head back clean and undamaged.’ Money he wanted to collect for his goal of delivering justice in a place far away. But the consequence of killing Bulwark? A war of enormous proportion on the country that took him in, the very same country that put the bounty on Bulwark. As he began realizing the weight of the consequence, a ray of hope came from the very same light source of his morality. Don Extea gave him a message to follow and he followed it. The message entangling him further into the stories and fate of the world he did not want to become part of. “What a world, as if it is in fact a dark fantasy wanting to be a steampunk.” Remarked a noble referred to as the Duchess of Knowledge in the platinent Jhorime. That only entangled him further and further into what the world demanded out of his existence, pulling him away from the goal he wishes to complete and pushes towards his goal despite it all. Yet, despite everything that keeps happening, one word kept ringing in his mind until he learned its true meaning before he could complete his own goal, the word being: “Cata.” ---------------------------------------------------- Updates regularly with 1 chapter a day. ---------------------------------------------------- Genre: Modern, Urban, Fantasy, Steampunk, Sci-fi, Adventure ---------------------------------------------------- To read ahead of Webnovel and RoyalRoad become my patron on patreon.com, the handle is mentioned below! :) This story is also available on RoyalRoad.com with the same title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username 'alexUnderTheStars'.

They called him worthless. Abandoned by his family and left to die, Kael was nothing—weak, powerless, and forgotten. Until something answered him. A forbidden system. But unlike others, this system doesn’t grant skills… it grants Authority. Kael doesn’t just grow stronger—he dominates. Vermin bend to his will. Beasts become extensions of his control. The forest itself begins to obey him. What starts as survival quickly evolves into something far more dangerous. He builds Libertas—not as a kingdom, but as a living ecosystem where everything answers to him. But power like this doesn’t go unnoticed. The Crimson Cull, rulers of absolute authority, mark him as an anomaly. Hunters are sent. War begins. And Kael doesn’t run. He declares something far worse. “I don’t belong to this world’s rules.” “I rewrite them.” But the deeper his power grows, the clearer the truth becomes: Authority is not meant to be taken. Something ancient is watching. And Kael… might not be the only one evolving. This is not the story of a hero. This is the rise of something the world was never meant to contain. 2 New Chapters Daily - 11:30 am (GMT +8) 9:30 pm (GMT +8) Find me on Instagram & share your thoughts - @authorzima

In a vast fantasy world where countless dangers lurk for humans and demi-humans alike, no creature is more fearsome or powerful than the Dragons, proud, intelligent beasts who stand at the very peak of existence. Dragons do not fight for kings or armies. They are the purest manifestation of nature’s fury and brutality, beings born to stand alone. Yet even such creatures seek a connection, a single partner chosen only once in their lifetime, bound through a unique Pact that links body and soul as one. Those chosen are no ordinary individuals. Dragon Riders soar through the skies atop their mighty companions, dominating land and air alike with powers of overwhelming magnitude. Thus begins a ruthless race between peoples and nations, each striving to secure the loyalty of the most powerful Dragon Riders the world can produce. This is the story of Theo, a noble whose family was brutally murdered, leaving him orphaned and alone as a child. Now a young man, his gaze turns toward the Royal Academy of Dragon Riders of the Empire of the Four Kingdoms, for nothing could serve vengeance better than a creature that embodies the raw fury of nature itself. But while Theo’s steps are driven by revenge, his journey will be filled with both intriguing allies and cruel enemies. And in his search for a battle companion, he will discover something far more precious, because the same mythical beast capable of terrorizing the skies and the land also holds another side, one far more unexpected than anyone could imagine.
