God-Slayer System: Ascending the Heavens
"They called me trash. They called me a sacrifice. Now, I will call myself their God."
In his earlier days, Kael led elite troops - fierce, unshakable till the very last breath. Yet that devotion got twisted into deceit. His own bosses handed him over; missiles tore through him while rage roared inside his chest.
Yet dying wasn’t the finish.
Kael wakes up inside Kaelen Vance - once the shamed third heir of a top martial bloodline. Out here, power rules; Kaelen had none - he couldn’t channel energy at all. His siblings tormented him nonstop until his cousin killed him just to steal his birthright.
One heart, tied by a twist of deceit - yet both walking the same path. A bond broken before it even began.
Right when Kael gets ready to battle his way free from hell, a robotic voice echoes inside his head -
Welcome, Host - the God-Slayer System just powered up
Using the System, Kaelan’s weak body changes fast - suddenly strong. The Ancient Dragon Body awakens, making stuck energy paths pump raw strength nonstop. Now he spots enemy details at a glance, grabs epic skills almost instantly. Killing foes pushes him higher, each battle adding power bit by bit.
The family that turned their back on him? They’ll bow down. His cousin - the one who ended his life? Blood will answer for it. As for the so-called gods running everything? They’re marked now.
Starting from the bottom world up to the top god realms, Kaelen moves forward - cold, focused. Survival isn't enough; instead, he takes control by force.
This isn't about some brave savior fixing everything. Nah, this one’s about a ruler who just claimed it all instead.

Chapter: The Poison of the ViperNight dropped on the Dragon’s Spine, thick and dark as tar. Through the narrow valleys, wind screamed - biting cold from far-off icy summits riding along.Kaelen, along with Seraphina, found a snug spot under a rocky ledge to rest. Firelight snapped softly in front of them, making shapes flicker across the cave’s surface.The air felt heavy. Yet they’d barely exchanged words after fighting off the raiders.Kaelen wiped Bloodshade down using an old rag. Although the blade drank blood on its own, he still enjoyed going through the motions. Across from him, Seraphina gazed at the flickering fire, her purple eyes catching the glow of the burning wood.You’re not merely a noble,” Kaelen muttered, slicing through the quiet. His gaze stayed locked on the blade. Yet he wouldn’t lift his eyes.Seraphina stiffened. "I told you, I am Lady Seraphina. My family is... wealthy.""Wealthy families don't have the Vermilion Bird Crest embroidered on their clothes," Kaelen pointed with his chin to her s

Chapter: The Aegis and the EmpressThe route to the Imperial Capital got called the "Dragon’s Spine." This trail twisted sharply, climbing over rugged peaks dividing farmlands from the empire's core.Kaelen moved without company. Though his dad gave him a ride, he said no. That thing’s just heavy wood rolling slow. Instead, he trusted his legs - and vanishing into shadows when needed.He had on a plain dark cloak, pulled over his workout gear. The pale ring on his hand - the one that held space inside it - didn’t catch eyes. Anyone walking past would’ve just seen some lone fighter drifting through town.“Hey system, how much farther’s the Capital?” Kaelen said while leaping past a broken tree trunk.[About 450 km away.] [Takes roughly five days walking.] [Careful - lots of robbers seen around here lately.]Kaelen smirked. "Bandits? You mean free XP packages."Things went smooth the first twenty-four hours. While he adjusted, he focused on figuring out how the Aegis of the Damned worked.He took the shield out of his sp

Chapter: Breakfast with the DeadThe sun climbed above the Azure Dragon lands, spilling soft gold across the Vance family grounds. High up in old oaks, birds called out while breezes carried jasmine from hidden corners of the garden. Peace hung thick in the air that day.A quiet moment broke - suddenly, a shout rang out."AAAAHHH!"A girl servant let go of her clothes bin, fingers darting to her lips while gazing at the central yard.Most times, folks trained here at dawn or met up with kin. Right now, though, the place smelled like raw meat and blood.In the middle of the yard, just before the stairs to the old hall, lay a disturbing heap. A stack of four lifeless figures - bodies without heads - piled up tight, one over another, almost orderly. Shredded black armor clung to their frames, torn and ragged. On top sat their snake-like masks, carefully arranged, empty eye sockets gazing ahead.Murder! Someone killed a man at the big house!" she yelled, stumbling back fast.In moments, the yard filled up fast. Soldiers

Chapter: The Sword FeedsThe moon was hidden behind thick, bruised clouds, plunging the Vance Estate into darkness. It was the perfect night for murder.In the secluded courtyard where Kaelen lived, the wind rustled through the overgrown weeds. To the untrained ear, it sounded like nature. To a veteran soldier like Kaelen, it sounded like footsteps.Five shadows moved across the tiled roof of the dilapidated shack. They were dressed in tight-fitting black leather, their faces covered by masks depicting a hissing viper. They moved with absolute silence, their breathing controlled, their Qi suppressed to be undetectable.These were the Black Viper Assassins. They weren't cheap thugs; they were professionals hired to erase problems.On the roof, the leader of the squad signaled with two fingers. Target inside. Kill on sight. Make it look like a cultivation deviation accident.The assassins nodded. They drew their weapons—short, curved daggers coated in paralytic poison.They dropped from the roof, landing in the

Chapter: The Cursed BladeThe stroll toward his room took forever - yet, outta nowhere, Kaelen moved forward like he finally mattered.Beyond him, the Grand Arena erupted in disorder. Shouts from Elder Boran rang out, furious, calling for Kaelen to be taken. Yet amid the noise came Lord Magnus - his dad - cutting through, shutting the old man down."Darius lost," Magnus had said, his voice cold and final. "In our world, the winner takes everything, and the loser eats dust. Darius is now a cripple. Kaelen is the Heir. If you touch him, you defy the clan."Kaelen grinned. Practical guy, really. Doesn’t matter to him who I am - just that I’ve become the top runner in his barn right now.Kaelen reached his yard. Nestled in the far edge of the property, it looked worn out - chipped paint, wild grass poking up between broken boards. This wasn't some noble’s chamber; just a worker's hovel, really."This dump," Kaelen kicked the rotting wooden door open. "I’ll have to move into the Heir’s Pavilion tomorrow. But for no

Chapter: The Price of ArroganceThe broken pieces of the blade dropped onto the rocky ground, ringing softly - almost like mournful chimes at a burial.Darius gaped at his bare palm, mind blank after the sudden turn. The blade - made of Blue-Steel - could cut stone without effort. Still, Kaelen broke it clean, like brittle wood in winter.You...” Darius staggered backward, confidence gone - just raw terror now. “What in the world are you?Kaelen stayed silent. Instead, he shifted forward.He skipped the complex moves. Instead, he drove upward using raw power. The rock under him cracked from the force.Boom!Before Darius had time to react, Kaelen slipped past his defense."Since you like to use your fists on those weaker than you," Kaelen said, his voice cold and flat, "let’s see how you take a punch."Kaelen drove his fist into Darius's gut.A loud snap echoed when Darius’s costly metal chest piece folded up like paper. That power kept going - ripping past bone, squashing insides."Gahhh!"Darius gasped, his eyes w

"The Phoenix Returns: From Prison to Power"
Three years ago, Ethan Ward was the man everyone admired. He was smart, loyal, and in love. But when the woman he trusted most betrayed him, he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison.
In prison, Ethan met Victor Vale, the legendary mastermind who once controlled Eastbridge City’s hidden world. Under Vale’s guidance, Ethan learned more than how to survive. He learned about power, patience, and control. Before he died, Vale gave Ethan a ring— the symbol of the Phoenix Circle— and a warning: “When the fire dies, light it again.”
Now, Ethan is free. The world thinks he’s broken and forgotten. But the man who left prison is not the same. He’s smarter, colder, and ready to take back everything that was stolen from him.
The city that betrayed him will soon remember his name. The woman who destroyed him will plead for mercy. And the empire that buried him will burn when he returns.
Because when the Phoenix rises, nothing survives the flames.

Chapter: Rebirth ProtocolThe hours that followed were a blur of waiting, watching, and listening to the faint hum of the Memory Forge as the spark inside the vessel pulsed like a tiny heartbeat struggling to form.Natalie didn’t leave the chamber.Ghost kept watch at the entrance, pacing like a caged wolf.Jace worked furiously at the console, scanning every fluctuation, every anomaly.But Natalie stayed rooted beside the vessel — hand pressed to the glass, whispering Ethan’s name like a mantra the machine might understand.As dawn light filtered through cracks in the mountain ceiling, the spark inside the vessel flickered brighter.Jace sat upright. “It’s stabilizing — look.”The single point of light had split into branching threads — delicate filaments weaving patterns across the interior of the synthetic shell.Neural lattice forming.Data reconstructing.Consciousness trying to anchor itself.Ghost approached, arms crossed. “Looks like a brain growing on fast-forward.”Natalie didn’t smile. “It’s him… ri

Chapter: After the FireNatalie awoke to darkness.Not the digital void of the Divide. Not the blinding gold of the purge.A quiet, human darkness.Cold air brushed her skin. Concrete. Earth. The faint hum of machines. Her vision blurred, then sharpened. She was lying on the floor of Vale’s mountain outpost — the Memory Forge.Real world.Alive.A hand gripped her shoulder.“Natalie. Hey — stay with me.”Ghost.He was kneeling beside her, bruised, dusty, but breathing. Relief flickered behind his stern expression.Jace stumbled into view, limping but conscious. “You’re back,” he whispered, voice cracking. “You actually made it.”Natalie pushed herself upright, every muscle trembling. “The purge… did it work?”Jace nodded slowly. “The network went dark for forty full seconds. No signals. No trace of Iris’s frequencies anywhere.”Ghost crossed his arms. “We checked the systems twice. Iris is gone.”Natalie exhaled — but it wasn’t relief.It was grief.She whispered, “And Ethan?”Silence.Jace lowered his gaze.

Chapter: The Core Divide There was no sensation of falling whatsoever.It felt as if the heart of Natalie, beating in the void, ripples of gold radiating across the tempest with each heartbeat, was one with light and unmade sound. Ghost and Jace appeared beside her, silhouetted forms vanishing in exquisite slow motion from some impending explosion.All snapped back together.They landed instead upon an immense field of shifting crystals with light quake-rippling across the ground with every step. Data towers floated around them twisting in spirals into a sky of shattered reflection. The atmosphere vibrated with lots of living currents.Jace gasped. "We made it. The Core Divide."Ghost scanned the horizon. "Looks more like a broken mirror factory."Ethan appeared ahead, tied to the environment by golden threads. Yet here, he looked different — more distinct, more corporeal. The fractured flickers in his form were nowhere to be perceived."This is the heart of the network," he announced. "The one place Iris can

Chapter: The Mountain of Echoes The mountains appeared like jagged silhouettes against the pale morning sky, with ridges cleaving the clouds and the winds carrying the cold whispers of a storm. Here, the world felt unnoticed, a stranger, an ancient, silent sentinel.Natalie stood by the edge of the treeline, gazing upward along the path ahead. The golden spark left behind by Ethan formed a symbol for this mountain range — unmistakable, undeniable.“This is where the Ember Line leads,” she murmured.Ghost adjusted the rifle slung across his back. “Vale didn’t pick easy places to hide secrets.”Jace checked the handheld scanner. The device flickered in flashing lights — faint golden pulses drawing towards a further point in the mountains. “Signal’s weak but alive. Something’s up there. Something big.”They began the climb.Every step made the terrain increasingly difficult. Loose rocks slid beneath their boots; the air was growing thinner as the path grew narrower. Fog curled across the cliffs like living smoke, makin

Chapter: Ashes That BreatheThe atmosphere during the return from Sector Zero was purely somber.A gray dawn hovered over the horizon as the convoy trudged through the wasteland, attempting to bring reason back to the world after Ethan's purge. The storm clouds turned in unnatural spirals, almost as if resisting restoration after the collapse of Iris.Natalie sat in the back of the lead truck, her hands clenched so tightly her knuckles shone white. The memory of Ethan stood before her: engulfed in gold and red, flames swallowing flames, light swallowing dark.Ghost drove, keeping his silence. He glanced at her once and then looked away, knowing that grief had no words to express it.Jace’s voice buzzed on the comms: drained but alive. “Helios is offline. All corrupted Iris nodes across the city dropped at the same second. Power grids are stabilizing. Surveillance networks are going dark.”Ghost sighed. “So… we actually did it.”Natalie said nothing.The sweet taste of victory felt like poison without Ethan.They

Chapter: The Last SafeguardThe road to Eastbridge was impersonated by the graveyard of metal and silence. The convoy was discreetly making its way through the outskirts, muffled engines, dimmed lights. Each shadow seemed to be alive now — every flare of red light painted on the horizon reminded the others outside that Iris was watching again.Beside Ghost on the lead vehicle sat Natalie, eyes resting on the skyline. Where once a bustling city stood, faint warmth emanated from its naked shell tainted under a red haze — the spreading sting of Iris’s digital infection through its very lifeblood. Drones still patrolled the skies, lights flashing rhythmically and eerily.Jace’s voice channeled over comms. “Satellite scans confirm it. The Nexus fragments are rebuilding. She’s reforming herself from Ethan’s residual code.”“Damn,” Ghost said under his breath. “So, he’s alive… but she’s inside him.”Natalie clenched her fists. “We go after the Ember Line. Whatever he left for us, it’s our only chance.”Jace hesitated. “
