Healing Skills

Healing Skills

Kael died once. That should’ve been the end of his story. Instead, the universe spat him back into a body far too young, armed with a power too gentle for a world too cruel — healing. Now reincarnated in a realm of blood, sigils, and fucked-up prophecy, Kael is tethered to a system that refuses to let him die quietly. With every wound he mends, every soul he saves, something in the world grows obsessed with him — and it doesn't know how to love gently. This isn’t a tale of a soft-hearted healer. This is war in reverse. --- Synopsis Kael was a broken mercenary, trained to end lives cleanly and silently. When a mission went sideways, his death was supposed to be a mercy. But instead of peace, he wakes up eight years old in a world where magic is real, monsters are philosophical, and the System — an AI-like force of impossible will — has made him its chosen Healer. But healing in this world isn’t passive. To mend flesh, he must feel the pain. To revive the dead, he must stare into death. And to survive, he must master the language of combat through restoration. Thrown into an orphanage that smells like trauma and burnt bread, surrounded by allies with secrets and enemies with smiles, Kael starts building power the only way the System allows — by saving people who are definitely not worth saving. Along the way, Kael must contend with psychic cultists, violent guild politics, experimental arcane theory, and the uncomfortable truth that whatever rules this universe? It fucking loves him. Maybe too much.

Chapter 45: The Second Trial (2)The battlefield before Kael shifted like a living nightmare, the ground vibrating under the weight of the werewolves as they advanced in relentless waves, each creature larger, faster, and more vicious than the last. Their claws scraped the dirt with a metallic screech that seemed almost alive, their fangs glinting like fractured moonlight under the dim sky of the trial realm. It was a grotesque ballet of predatory grace and lethal intent, every movement choreographed to destroy, and yet Kael moved through it with a calm born of absolute necessity, his mind a blade slicing through fear and calculation alike.He believed that as long as his sense of touch remained intact, he could perform at near-peak capacity, his mana flowing like liquid fire through every vein, every fiber of muscle, every quivering sinew. Yet the thought lingered like a shadow, inevitable and terrifying: what would happen when the connection severed complete

Chapter 44: The Second TrialKael lay sprawled across the soft, warm surface of his bed, the morning light painting golden streaks across the room, yet his attention was locked on the letters before him, an alphabet foreign and alien, crawling across the page like tiny soldiers demanding mastery. His progress astonished him, faster than anything he had accomplished in his previous life, yet the language resisted total comprehension, the shapes and sounds tangling around each other in intricate, maddening patterns.Compared to the worlds he had lived through before, this one moved at its own rhythm, more complex, more deliberate, as if the universe itself had conspired to make every syllable a test of patience, every written line a maze of intellect and persistence. He had memorized the alphabet with ease, yet forming words, speaking aloud, even reading aloud, felt like groping in the dark, fumbling for shapes that refused to align properly.Even with his

Chapter 43: Who Kael groggily blinked open his eyes, the dim golden light of the temple filtering softly across his vision. He was back in that sacred space for real this time, the comforting scent of incense lingering faintly in the air, mingled with the subtle tang of stone and water. His head throbbed violently, each pulse hammering against his skull, an incessant reminder that technically he had just died. He could not feel the physical agony of death, no, it was worse in a way: the other Kael’s memories had left impressions of pain so vivid that his own mind flinched in sympathy. Never again, he muttered to himself, teeth gritted, a flicker of both frustration and awe coursing through him. Yet he knew, with a resigned groan, that this was only the beginning. The synchronization was far from complete; this had been merely five percent, a taste, a shadow of the full truth. Ninety-five percent of his other selves’ experiences remained u

Chapter 42: Memory FragmentThat trial had been… something. Kael’s thoughts barely had the time to settle before he felt the cold embrace of water engulf him, dragging him into an unwelcoming darkness that smelled faintly of stone and stagnant algae. The teleportation had deposited him unceremoniously into the fountain, which from the outside had appeared quaint, shallow even, but now revealed itself as a deceptively deep pit, swallowing him whole.His limbs moved automatically, reflex honed by countless battles and desperate swims, muscles cutting through water with a practiced efficiency. Thank the gods, he could swim, he thought, lungs burning, heart hammering in a chaotic rhythm as he propelled himself upward. Breaking the surface, droplets of water clinging to his skin and armor, he landed on his ass, then instinctively stretched out, the stone beneath him cold against his back.So much for a warm welcome, he muttered, voice hoarse, taste of wate

Chapter 41: The First Trial (7)Kael had descended from the city wall, his boots striking the cobblestones with a muted clack, the weight of anticipation and residual tension from the battlefield pressing against his shoulders like a tangible force. He made his way back into the heart of the city, threading through narrow alleys and wide boulevards, until he arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild, expecting a scene of chaos, despair, and grief, the aftermath of losses recently endured, a tableau of shattered morale and anguished faces. Yet, to his astonishment, nothing had changed. The air hummed with the same casual indifference, as though the carnage and the trials outside were the mere flutter of leaves in an otherwise ordinary day.Lyra, ever the vigilant receptionist with her meticulous organization and piercing gaze, spotted him immediately and waved him forward, her gesture precise and commanding. Without a word, she indicated that he should ascend the stairs to

Chapter: chapter 40
Chapter 40: The First Trial (6)Kael surged forward, his body a conduit of pure intent, every muscle coiled and ready, every nerve singing with anticipation and pain alike. Six goblins now stood before him, grotesque little beings of gnashing teeth and jagged blades, but each one radiated a power that made even seasoned veterans blanch. These were no common fodder, no mere level 80 weaklings he had encountered in past encounters: they were creatures honed for chaos, the cruel geometry of their strength balanced with lethal precision. To face them head-on was to court danger, a thrill searing through his veins, a challenge worthy of the fire his pulse had long craved.Kael’s mind danced across the measurements of his own strength, a brief reflection of absurdity. According to The System, his level lingered around 44, a child in the eyes of the mundane, yet here he was moving and countering attacks that would obliterate anyone of mortal rank. The numbers fe

Shadow Assassin Rebirth

Shadow Assassin Rebirth

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses. The storey opens on the mountain of the dead - the last battlefield of the human race. Li Wei, who is a broken man under the curse of accelerated ageing, stands among the ruins of the Ancient God. His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.

CHAPTER 11 Infinite EvolutionThe night air felt thicker. The light from the dead crawler's body had long since faded. Li Wei stood silently, his shadow casting over the grass. Whuumm, crackle, hiss.He could still feel the warm, steady pulse of his lifespan in his chest. Though it was non-tradable - adding years to his soul rather than his pockets - it was useless for now.He exhaled softly, “Hmm….” His breath went out of him cool and slow. Before he could take another step, there was a Bzzz and fwoosh, and then a faint black light flared from the mark on his right eye.Li Wei froze. His eyes dimmed a moment, and a new voice was heard within his mind.[Power of the Eye of Judgment: Engaged.Talent: Infinite Evolution Granted.Thud. His heart skipped. His body shivered a little, as if something ancient had stirred within him.

CHAPTER 10 The First Hunt of the Shadow.The air was silent, even more than silent. The grass rustled gently on the legs of Li Wei, a shhhh sound. He narrowed his eyes. He could feel a slight shake, a low rumble on the ground, like something dragging its body slowly through the dirt. Crrkk, crackle, thud.Hmmm. He hummed and looked towards a tall tree in front of him. Moonlight fell on the rough bark and revealed a strange dark shape behind it. He stooped down, and stood motionless. His hand slipped down to the handle of his short blade.Something breathed behind that tree. It was deep, heavy, and wet. Hrrhhh, sssk, gulp. The sound made the skin of Li Wei tight. Then he saw it, a crawler.The skin of the monster resembled melted tar - slick and dark. It was low and twisted in its body, and its claws plowed the ground with each movement. The crawler should have been a normal level one monster, but this one was different. Its body throbbed with weird flickering light; it was developing.

CHAPTER 9 Agility Is LifeLinda stood there for a while, her eyes staring at the spot where Li Wei had vanished. The air around her was heavy, and she could still feel the slight pressure of his presence a few seconds ago. Now it was gone, completely gone, like a puff of smoke carried away by the wind. Whooshhh. She frowned and looked at her a few times. "He's gone... just like that?" She said softly, the words almost quivering off her lips.The assassin of her group made a small tch sound through his teeth. That guy, hmm, he just disappeared like mist. Didn't even take a step or sound, pfft, crazy. He scratched his head and glanced around. The grass swayed gently in the cool breeze, and the sky above Leaf Town was grey and cloudy, as if it didn't want to shine for anyone.Linda let out a long breath. After a brief pause, she said, "We can't stay out here any longer." "It's too dangerous. We already died once. If we die again, our life span will be lost forever.The little healer girl

CHAPTER 8 — Shadow SneakCrackle… hiss… boom…The wind howled across the scarred landscape, stirring dust from cracked stone paths. These weary trails led far from Leaf Town.Linda stood poised at the town gate, her long bow resting against her shoulder. Her gaze locked onto a figure ahead—the enigmatic Black. Though she didn’t know his true name, Li Wei, her instincts screamed: this man was anything but ordinary.Hmmm…Turning to her companions, she whispered, “Let’s follow him.”Confusion flickered among her teammates.The team’s assassin frowned. “Follow him? For what?”A smirk tugged at Linda’s lips, her eyes sharp as daggers. “Perhaps we’ll gain insight. Maybe we’ll witness his fight… or his fall.”Pfft…The archer beside her chuckled low. “He’ll meet his end quickly if he strides out there alone.”Linda remained silent, her focus unwavering on the man called Black.Boom… thud…Beyond the town walls stretched a land heavy with silence.

CHAPTER 7 — The Forgotten Realm of GodsBoom… crackle… hiss…The air ripped as if torn from a tapestry. Li Wei plunged into the Forgotten Realm of Gods. His feet struck the ground with a dull thud. The earth was cold and fractured, littered with ruins and stones that resembled skeletal remains.He surveyed his surroundings. Above, a dark gray sky loomed while the wind tossed gritty dust that nipped at his skin. Ruins sprawled endlessly—shattered buildings, fallen temples, and broken walls. The scent of smoke and aged decay clung to the air.This land was a graveyard for countless monsters. Mindless, they roamed, driven solely by ravenous hunger.Li Wei squinted. “Hmph…” His breath hissed like a warning. Caution was paramount; these monsters didn’t just kill—they devoured souls and siphoned years from life. Each moment here could signal the end.Boom… a distant explosion reverberated. A fading scream echoed—sharp and haunting.He adjusted his cloak and began to stride forward. Crunch…

CHAPTER 6 — ShadowbornCrackle… hiss… boom…The air shivered, as if it bore witness to thunder’s birth within the hall. Darkness erupted, wrapping around Li Wei like liquid fire, alive and pulsing with energy. His shadow danced upon the floor — fwoosh… crackle… — swiftly twisting upward, coiling around him like a sentient serpent, until it encased him in an enchanting cocoon of night.Li Wei gritted his teeth. “Ahhh… hhh…” His body trembled, while his heart drummed a relentless rhythm — thud… thud… thud… — as raw energy surged through his veins. The darkness seeped in, burrowing deep beneath his skin.Then, the transformation began.Strand by strand, his hair surrendered its color. The inky black gave way to a chilling, luminous white. Shhhk… flutter… The silken strands floated lazily in the shadow’s embrace that filled the room. His skin dulled slightly, taking on a glimmering gray hue, reminiscent of polished steel under flickering light. Clothes cracked apart, crumbling to dust — s
