In a world full of magic, Alex is a Static. He has zero mana. No spells. No powers. No miracles. He was born in the poorest of all countries, the bottom of the barrel. The neighboring gods all flock to exploit Alex’s land as nothing more than an oil rig. To be more specific, a "Star Ink" rig: the fuel for everyone's magic. To the divine, his people are nothing more than cattle waiting to be slaughtered. Alex isn't worried about his lack of mana. To him, all these spells are nothing more than inefficient reactions. He has something better to fight back: Science. He doesn’t need a fireball; he has combustion. He doesn’t need a shield; he has physics. He doesn’t need a god; he has knowledge. Alex decides to wage war against the heavens. One invention at a time, the Static boy will dismantle the divine.

At least, that was how it used to be, because now, by some miracle, he was able to enter his own novel when he got into an accident. 'Is this a blessing? From any angle I look at it, this is a blessing. What percentage of people can enter their own novel? Almost zero, or maybe I'm the only one who can. Of course, that's because I was chosen for this.'

NO SMUT. JUST KISSING. I was murdered by the two people I loved most—my fiance and my stepsister. Sickly, weak, and foolishly kind, I couldn’t even fight back. As I lay dying, I remembered all the novels I used to read—stories where villainesses lived fiercely, beautifully, without regret. I wished I could be like them. Then a voice echoed in the darkness. "Congratulations, host. You’ve been chosen for the Villainess System." Now, I’ve been reborn in a new world—strong, powerful, and feared. This time, I won’t be the victim.

It should have been just another quiet evening. Instead, Chris Valakis and his stepmother Isabelle are suddenly attacked by a group of… demons. That’s when Chris discovers the truth — his charming stepmother is actually a vampire. But during the fight, one of the demons manages to mortally wound him. And when Chris opens his eyes again… he’s no longer human. To save his life, Isabelle turns him into a vampire. Now Chris owes her everything — and a lonely, dissatisfied woman like Isabelle knows exactly how to collect that debt. Chris becomes her sexual servant. But that’s only the beginning.

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

Yun Yuan transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, arriving in the era before Tang San. This was a brilliant age, where heroes gathered and prodigies rose together. He awakened his martial soul, the Atlas Spear, with talent comparable to that of Atlas Douluo, who would later suppress the entire era twenty thousand years later.

(Vol. 1 completed. Vol. 2 ongoing...) Synopsis: A politician from Earth gets transmigrated into a semi-familiar cultivation world, where typical xianxia protagonists are cooking trouble in every corner of the street. Guided by a unique system, he begins to amass a legion of such children of destiny, manipulating each of them into becoming his partners-in-crime. What to expect: 1. Extremely overpowered enemies who actually have a brain. 2. Side Characters who make impact on the story 3. MC schemes more than he fights, and he ALWAYS fights dirty. 4. There are tons of scheming by side characters that even the MC can't easily deconstruct. 5. MC's cultivation method is fucked up beyond anything you've read on Webnovel. It grows wilder with each arc. So don't expect typical power-ups and revenge subplots. 6. Dry, lowbrow comedy.
