After 600+ chapters, here’s what to expect. First of all, throughout this novel, I have learned and improved in my story-making ability. Sadly though, you could only see this improvement about several hundred chapters in, like in the upper 300s and early 400s. And this change comes before a story arc that is bad compared to my recent story arcs. You may feel inclined to stop before then. You may feel inclined to stop even before you reach a hundred chapters. You may think, “Oh, there’s no action, it’s boring, and everything is easy for our MC.” But if you persist, you will see the true vision I have for the novel. Kingdom building, action-packed, and enough slice-of-life to warm your hearts into overdrive. If you hear the words, DIVA, AUBILITIES, and METROPOLIS, then you are about to enter, what I think, is my best major story arcs I have written so far. The Metropolis Arc is peak. Here’s what to expect: — Action: Yes. There’s a new and exciting change in the latter chapters that allowed for a lot of action. — Kingdom Building: Absolutely. I’ll admit that in the earlier chaps, there’s a lot of need for improvement. But I think that I was able to remedy most of them in the recent chaps. — Slice-of-life: Yes, sir. If you loved the novel for its slice-of-life, then you can rest assured that it would continue on even in the most latest chapters. — Romance: This one, I’ll admit, needs a lot of improvement. But it’s because they are still kids in the novel so I still stray away from something truly romantic. However, romance in this novel could be attributed to the romance of family and of friendships for now. I hope that I was able to convince you to start reading my novel. If you read it before and want to start reading again, you can message me on Discord for questions regarding plot points, characters, or anything you forgot and I can remind you. ——————— Michael was suddenly reborn into a another world by a God because of an accidental death.

Slowly, Michael transforms this new world into a place even better than his previous one by taking ideas from the modern world and putting it in this world, with the added bonus of magic.

Val Vorkard didn’t get hit by a truck. He didn’t save a child or meet a goddess. He was sitting in his bedroom when a claw the size of a skyscraper ripped through reality, grabbed him by the waist, and dragged him into the broken world of Aethelgard. He wakes up staring into the golden eyes of Ferrer, the "World Eater"—an Ancient Beast of apocalyptic power who has been sealed for centuries. But she didn't summon a hero to slay her. She summoned a battery. "My power is leaking," the massive wolf growls. "I need a soul dense enough to hold my leash. I need... a Master." Val has two choices: be crushed by the pressure of a dying world, or accept the pact. He chooses the pact.

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.

Tang Ziqian’s greatest dream was to live a simple life with the people he loved most—but even at a young age, he learned that life was never meant to be easy. His parents abandoned him to pursue new love. The boyfriend he had loved for five years cheated on him and left him for his stepbrother. Friends he truly considered family mocked him. And his grandmother—the only person who genuinely loved him—passed away because he couldn’t afford her medication. In the end, everyone he loved had abandoned him. What is he striving for? Why must he suffer? Everything turned dull—a monotonous routine sustaining his existence. In time, he began to "play." Having sex with strangers he met at a bar once a week brought a spark into his mundane life. Unacceptable? Disgusting? Yes. But he grew addicted to the fleeting warmth and sweetness offered by people whose names he didn’t even know. Is this the life he dreamed of? No. He knew this wasn’t the life he was meant to have. He tried to fight against what felt like his fate—but the more he resisted, the worse things became. As days and years passed, he accepted that misery was his destiny. Then one day, he unexpectedly woke up in a new world and met new people. Is this a second chance granted to him—to pursue what he truly wanted? ___________________. English is not my first language.
