The Transmigrated Alchemist's Revenge System
When pharmaceutical genius Dr. Alex Chen dies in a lab explosion, he awakens in the body of Xiao Feng—the "useless" third young master of a declining cultivation family. Crippled meridians, endless humiliation, and a legacy of betrayal await him in the ruthless world of immortal cultivation.
But Alex brings something no cultivator has ever possessed: modern scientific knowledge that transforms ancient alchemy into an unstoppable force.
Bound to the mysterious **Revenge System**, he's compelled to settle every grudge from his host body's tormented past. Each completed mission unlocks devastating alchemical formulas and forbidden techniques. Where others see mystical pill recipes, Alex sees molecular structures. Where masters take decades to master basics, he revolutionizes millennia-old practices overnight.
**"Impossible! How can a cripple create Heaven-grade pills?"**
From the scheming cousin who sold him out, to the corrupt elder who murdered his friend, to the demonic lord who destroyed his family—every enemy will face his calculated wrath. But as Alex climbs from the sect's bottom to the realm's peak, he discovers the System's true purpose isn't justice.
It's harvesting.
Armed with explosive compounds disguised as cultivation pills, poison antidotes that shouldn't exist, and breakthrough elixirs that shatter natural limits, Alex must master both revenge and romance. The brilliant Mei Ling captures his heart, but can he trust her when everyone has hidden agendas?
**In a world where strength determines everything, the strongest weapon isn't a sword—it's science.**
Will Alex break free from the System's control and forge his own destiny, or will his pursuit of revenge consume everything he's fighting to protect?
*Power. Revenge. Redemption. The formula for immortality has never been deadlier.*

Chapter: Chapter 6
# **Chapter 6: "The Impossible Pill"** The morning sun cast long shadows across the Xiao family's main courtyard as Alex made his way to the patriarch's study. Word of yesterday's demonstration had spread through the household like wildfire, and he could feel the weight of curious gazes following his every step. Servants who had once looked at him with pity now watched with something approaching respect, while his brothers' friends whispered among themselves with barely concealed envy. Alex carried a small jade box in his hands—a container that held three pills that would either elevate his family's status or paint a target on his back. The experimental pill he'd created using Phantom Moss compounds was unlike anything the cultivation world had seen, but its very existence posed questions he wasn't ready to answer. "Young Master," Uncle Chen intercepted him at the study's entrance, his weathered face creased with concern. "Are you certain about this? Once you reveal what you've cre

# **Chapter 5: "Modern Chemistry Meets Ancient Arts"** The pre-dawn hours were Alex's favorite time to work. The family compound lay silent except for the occasional patrol of night guards, and the herb garden was shrouded in mist that would help preserve the delicate spiritual essences he needed to extract. He made his way quietly through the pathways, a cloth bag slung over his shoulder and his enhanced vision active. "Perfect," he murmured, examining a cluster of Moonbell Flowers that had bloomed overnight. Through his enhanced perception, he could see the spiritual energy was at its peak concentration—exactly what he needed for his next experiment. Alex had spent the previous day studying his grandfather's notes and cross-referencing them with his own chemical knowledge. The old man had been more skilled than anyone realized, but he'd been working with incomplete understanding of the underlying principles. Every formula was a brute-force approach that wasted enormous amounts of

# **Chapter 4: "The Alchemist's Eye"** The Xiao family's herb garden was a testament to generations of careful cultivation. Nestled in the eastern courtyard of the compound, it stretched across nearly an acre of carefully tended plots where hundreds of spiritual herbs grew in organized rows. Morning mist clung to the leaves as Alex made his way through the narrow pathways, his eyes taking in details that Xiao Feng had never noticed despite walking these same paths for eighteen years. "Crimson Lotus petals," Alex murmured, kneeling beside a cluster of deep red flowers. "High concentration of what looks like natural alkaloids, but the molecular structure is... impossible." He reached out to touch one of the petals, and immediately his vision shifted. The flower didn't just look different—he could *see* its internal structure, the way energy flowed through its cellular matrix like liquid light. It was as if someone had given him a microscope that could observe both physical and spirit

# **Chapter 3: "System Activation"**Alex sat in stunned silence for several minutes after Xiao Long's hasty departure, staring at the translucent interface that hung in his vision like a holographic display. The blue screen pulsed gently, waiting for his input, filled with options and information that defied everything he thought he knew about reality.**[REVENGE SYSTEM - MAIN INTERFACE]****[HOST: ALEX CHEN / XIAO FENG]****[INTEGRATION STATUS: COMPLETE]****[BODY CONDITION: SEVERELY DAMAGED]****[CULTIVATION LEVEL: CRIPPLED]****[SYSTEM LEVEL: 1]****[ACTIVE MISSIONS:]****[PRIMARY: DEFEAT LIU WEI IN SINGLE COMBAT]****[REWARD: BASIC CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE + 100 SYSTEM POINTS]****[TIME LIMIT: 7 DAYS]****[SYSTEM SHOP: ACCESSIBLE]****[ANALYSIS MODE: AVAILABLE]****[REVENGE TARGETS: 1 IDENTIFIED]**"This is insane," Alex muttered, reaching out tentatively to touch the floating display. His finger passed through it, but somehow the interface responded to his mental commands. "A video

# **Chapter 2: "A Waste's Memories"**The first thing Alex noticed was the pain.Not the clean, sharp pain of his molecular disintegration in the lab, but a deep, throbbing ache that seemed to permeate every fiber of his being. His bones felt hollow, his muscles atrophied, and his skin burned with fever despite the cool air flowing across his face.The second thing he noticed was that he was breathing.Alex's eyes snapped open, and he immediately regretted it. Sunlight streamed through paper windows, stabbing into his skull like needles. He tried to raise his hand to shield his eyes, but his arm felt like it weighed a thousand pounds."What the hell?" he croaked, his voice sounding wrong—too high, too young, too weak.The voice that came from his throat wasn't his own. Dr. Alex Chen had possessed a deep, confident baritone that commanded attention in lecture halls and boardrooms. This voice was barely a whisper, cracked and hoarse like someone who'd been screaming for hours.He forced

# **Chapter 1: "The Final Experiment"**The fluorescent lights hummed overhead as Dr. Alex Chen hunched over his microscope, bloodshot eyes burning from twelve straight hours of focused research. Empty coffee cups littered his workstation like monuments to his obsession, and his lab coat bore the stains of a man who'd forgotten the world existed beyond these sterile walls."Cellular regeneration at the mitochondrial level," he muttered, adjusting the focus with trembling fingers. "The key has to be in the ATP synthesis pathway."At thirty-two, Alex had already revolutionized pharmaceutical research twice over. His breakthrough in cancer treatment had saved thousands of lives, and his work on neurological disorders had earned him three international awards before he'd turned thirty. But tonight—tonight he was chasing something that would change everything. Complete cellular regeneration.

HELLSPAWN HUNTER
# HELLSPAWN HUNTER
## Synopsis
**When the gates of Hell crack open over his hometown, seventeen-year-old Kael Draven should have died with everyone else. Instead, he made a deal with a dying demon—and became something the supernatural world has never seen before.**
Kael's father was a legendary Hunter who died keeping secrets. His demonic bond makes him an abomination in the eyes of his father's former allies. And Vex'thul, the ancient demon sharing his headspace, won't shut up long enough to let him figure out which side he's supposed to be on.
**Vex'thul the Unbound has survived three millennia by being paranoid, ruthless, and absolutely insufferable. Now he's stuck in the body of an idealistic teenager who thinks "heroism" is a viable career path.** Together, they're humanity's most dysfunctional defense against the supernatural apocalypse. Kael wants to save everyone. Vex wants to survive everything. Neither is getting what they want.
The Hunter Academy doesn't train half-demons. Vampire covens don't trust monsters with consciences. Exorcist orders shoot first and ask questions later. And somewhere in the shadows, the conspiracy that killed Kael's father is pulling strings that could unravel reality itself.
**Armed with unstable demonic powers, a demon who treats life-or-death situations like a running commentary track, and a stubborn refusal to accept that some people can't be saved, Kael is about to learn that the hardest part of hunting monsters isn't the fighting—it's deciding which monsters deserve to live.**
In a world where humanity's protectors might be the real villains, Kael Draven will discover that sometimes the only way to save the world is to embrace the darkness within.
*Because when Hell comes calling, sometimes you need a monster to answer.*

## Chapter 42: Fallout and FlightThe thunder of collapsing stone swallowed the Academy whole. Kael, pushed forward by Marcus's last desperate shove, scrambled through the newly opened ventilation shaft, dust filling his lungs. Behind him, the cacophony of the battle raged – the screams of Academy security, the unnatural roars of the Chimera, and Vespera's primal, furious battle cries. His heart, already heavy with the weight of Thorne's revelation, was now a leaden weight, dragging him down with agonizing certainty. He had seen the desperate trust in Vespera's eyes, the quiet resolve in Marcus's stance. They had chosen to hold the line, to buy them time. The cost of that time was unbearable.He landed hard on the rusted metal floor of the shaft, the God-killing dagger still clutched tightly in his hand. The metal groaned and buckled beneath him as the Academy continued its internal implosion. Nyra and Grimm, disoriented and covered in dust, quickly followed, propelled by the urgent n

## Chapter 42: The Weight of FreedomThe earth groaned beneath them as the tunnel buckled, ancient foundations cracking under the raw power Kael had channeled through the God-killing dagger. Dust exploded in choking clouds, and the Chimera's shriek cut off abruptly as tons of stone crashed down to bury it. The thunderous roar of collapse filled the air, drowning out everything else.Kael grabbed Vespera's hand and pulled her back, ignoring the sharp pain that lanced through his shoulder. Marcus was already in motion, shoving Nyra and Grimm forward while bellowing orders over the deafening chaos. "Move! Now! Go!"They ran through the disintegrating tunnel, their footsteps echoing against the groans of a structure tearing itself apart. Behind them, the sounds of destruction mounted—grinding stone, snapping support beams, the agonized protests of magic-reinforced walls finally giving way. The God-killing dagger still hummed in Kael's grip, its work done but its power still resonating thr

## Chapter 41: Breaking PointThe world exploded into agony as Thorne's dark vortex engulfed Kael. This wasn't mere physical pain—it was something far more insidious, a corruption that sought to unravel him from the inside out, molecule by molecule. The sensation triggered a horrifying memory of his father's final moments, the 'processing' that had torn apart everything David Reeves had been. Vespera's scream cut through the roaring in his ears, raw with desperation and fury.For one terrifying heartbeat, Kael was drowning in that same suffocating darkness that had claimed his father. The walls of reality seemed to collapse inward, and oblivion reached for him with hungry fingers.*"FIGHT, BOY!"* Vex'thul's voice erupted in his mind—not the usual whisper, but a primal roar that shook him to his bones. *"EMBRACE WHAT YOU ARE! WE DO NOT BREAK!"*Something ancient and fierce awakened within him. Kael bit back his scream and reached deep, past fear, past pain, into the molten core of his

Chapter 40: The Instructor's TrapThe footsteps grew closer, measured and deliberate. Not the hurried scramble of searchers, but the confident stride of someone who knew exactly where they were going."Going somewhere, students?"Professor Thorne emerged from the shadows like a specter materializing from nightmare. His pale eyes reflected the dim light of Grimm's emergency lamp, and something about him had changed. The mild-mannered instructor was gone, replaced by something colder, more predatory. His posture held a dangerous grace that hadn't been there before, and when he smiled, it was the expression of a predator who had finally cornered his prey.Behind him came two figures in Academy combat gear, their faces hidden behind tactical visors. But their movements were wrong—too fluid, too precise, lacking the natural imperfections of human motion. Kael's enhanced senses screamed warnings as he recognized the synthetic aura radiating from them. Enhanced beings. Azrael's handiwork, pe

# Chapter 39: Forbidden AttractionThe ghost of Vespera's touch still burned on Kael's cheek three days later. He'd catch himself reaching up to trace the spot where her fingers had lingered, remembering the desperate vulnerability in her crimson eyes when they'd almost kissed in the common room. That moment played in an endless loop—her face tilting toward his, the world narrowing to just the two of them, until Talon's shadow had fallen across their table like a blade.Now everything felt different. The careful distance they'd maintained, the professional facade—it was all crumbling. They were losing more than their cover. They were losing themselves.Vespera's glamour wasn't just weakening anymore. It was actively dying. Kael watched her struggle through morning formation, her jaw clenched so tight he could see the muscle jumping beneath her skin. What the others mistook for concentration was actually her fighting off waves of agony as the Academy's wards pressed against her like c

# Chapter 38: Vespera's Fading VeilThe Academy's secrets weren't the only thing weighing on Kael anymore. Every day, he watched Vespera struggle against something that was slowly but surely winning. Her glamour—that careful human mask she'd worn so perfectly—was falling apart like a painting left too long in the rain.It started with little things. A flicker in her eyes when she thought no one was looking. The way her hand would shake just slightly when reaching for something. How she'd press her fingers to her temples during lectures, her face going pale with what she claimed were just headaches. But Kael could see it wasn't that simple. The Academy's magic was designed to expose supernatural beings, and it was doing exactly what it was built for.Her brown eyes would flash crimson for just a heartbeat before snapping back. Her perfectly human features would blur at the edges when the pain hit hardest. She was fighting a losing battle, and they both knew it."You okay?" he'd whisper
