Chapter: Chapter 170: Disbandment of the War Sword Adventurer GuildFaust felt… off. Kaelen noticed it the moment he stepped back into the city. The air carried a strange tension, like the calm before a storm.People stared. Whispered. Pointed. Everywhere he looked, curious eyes followed him and his companions, as if he’d sprouted a giant, neon sign on his forehead. Kaelen barely reacted. He’d seen this before, in another life—a top-tier player, legendary among millions. In that world, wherever he went, everyone stared. Billions of players, only a few thousand ever reached the top. A handful.That’s one in a million. Rare doesn’t even begin to cover it.Kaelen had gotten used to it. Jeka and Shia, though… not so much. Jeka, with his temper always teetering on the edge, finally snapped. He stepped in front of a skinny, trembling man. “What are you staring at?” he barked.The man flinched. Ordinary folk, fragile and unprepared, could hardly stand against adventurers. They were different worlds, barely intersecting. Jeka’s sudden confrontation pressed do

Chapter: Chapter 169: A Super Harvest!Silver weapon—no, a real silver weapon! Blinding beams of silver shot straight into the sky, cutting through the gloom like a flare. Everyone could see it clearly now—this was no ordinary drop.Kaelen, Shia, and the rest couldn’t hide their excitement. Not a single one of the five managed to keep a calm face. Sure, the weapon’s attack power was impressive—but the real kicker? It reduced the experience needed to level up. For adventurers, that was basically priceless.The moment the silver weapon appeared, Shia and the others swarmed around. Jeka, bouncing like she had ants in her pants, practically shouted herself hoarse. “A silver weapon! Captain, your luck is insane! You actually got a silver weapon!”Without even catching her breath, she examined it and broadcast every single property to the team:Ice Flag (Banner)Origin: Purple Thorn CastleRarity: Silver ItemMaterial: Silkworm ClothWeight: 10.2 kgEquip Requirement: NoneEquip Slot: WeaponEffect: Ice TrapCreates a 10-meter r

Chapter: Chapter 168: Level Up, Another Level UpWith a thunderous roar, the towering monster shattered, exploding into fragments that scattered in every direction.Kaelen hoisted the Death Face high, stepping in front of Jeka to shield her from the flying shards. Amid the chaos, he shouted, “Jeka! Keep an eye on everyone’s HP!”“Got it!” she called back, her soft voice steady despite the danger.Kaelen’s foresight paid off. The final wave of debris carried serious damage, but the Death Face protected them both. Shia, as a Paladin, could withstand the worst of it. Antonio and Angela? Not so much.Shia managed just barely on her own. Antonio and Angela relied on constant healing. Following Kaelen’s instructions, Jeka unleashed a stream of healing spells, keeping the two alive by a thread. Beads of sweat gleamed on her smooth forehead, trickling down her nose as she worked.Kaelen didn’t slow down. He moved carefully, guarding Jeka while inching closer to Antonio and Angela. When the two sides met, Antonio and Angela fell behind him,

Chapter: Chapter 167: Finally Killed!At first, Kaelen honestly thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.But no—the tower was actually moving.The whole structure twisted and groaned, like stone protesting after centuries of silence. Then it revived. Just like that. One moment a dead tower, the next a living nightmare dragging itself back into the world. Kaelen, who’d barely managed to sit down for a breath, snapped his head up in disbelief.And the thing’s new appearance?Hideous. Disturbing. Wrong on every level.“It’s now!” he barked, jumping to his feet. He didn’t even hesitate—just sprinted straight for the creature. “Everyone, stay sharp!” he shouted behind him.When the monster was still a tower, they could damage it, sure, but only as a structure. Kaelen couldn't use Charge on it at all. But now? Now it had flesh. Limbs. Whatever counted as a body.Now Charge would actually connect.“Captain! Careful!” Jeka called out.Kaelen narrowed his gaze. Everything they’d been working toward hinged on this one moment. I

Chapter: Chapter 166: One Million HPKaelen had absolutely no idea what was happening back in Faust. Deep inside Purple Thorn Castle, cut off from everything outside, he and his team had only one thing on their minds: the massive structure standing quietly in front of them.The five of them didn’t stop attacking for even a second. Arrows whipped through the air, spells exploded like cheap festival fireworks, and metal rang through the hall again and again. Through all that noise, the tower didn’t move—not an inch. It just sat there, perfectly still, like some ancient monument pretending to be harmless.But that illusion didn’t last long.The moment their attacks connected, its real nature appeared.A gigantic health bar shimmered into existence—cold, sharp, and unmistakably hostile.And the number sitting above it…1,000,000.Not one hundred.Not a thousand.Not even ten thousand.One. Million. HP.A single “1” with six zeros slapped onto the end.Even Kaelen, who had survived the madness of Sky City, felt his stomach tw

Chapter: Chapter 165: Shocking Upheaval — The Return of the UndeadFaust had always been a city of extremes—where journeys began, and where many came to their grim end. And on this particular day, within one of its grand stone halls, an icy tension pressed down on the War Sword Adventurer Guild like a hand closing around a throat.For days now, the guild—second only to the mighty Gemini Adventurer Guild—had wandered in a fog of unease. Rumors whispered through corridors. Arguments flared and died. No one said it aloud, but everyone felt it: something was about to break.At the center of the hall stood Rachel, a 19th-level adventurer whose expression rarely shifted from its usual hard, granite-like stillness. Today was no exception. “Everyone here knows what happened to our previous guild master,” he announced, his voice carrying effortlessly across the chamber. “He overestimated himself. Took his team into the Bloodstained Corridor… and even dragged several of our elites along. Because of that reckless judgment, not one of them survived.”Not a singl

The Actor's Emperor System
Caleb Davis never imagined his dream of becoming an actor would turn into a daily fight for survival. After years of playing nameless background roles and chasing auditions that went nowhere, he was just another face lost in the crowd. Fame felt like a distant fantasy — until one unforgettable night changed everything.
In the middle of chaos, a strange voice echoed in his mind:
[The Film and Television Martial Emperor System has been activated.]
From that moment, Caleb’s life turned upside down. The system gave him the ability to gain real martial power through the roles he performed. Every time he stepped in front of the camera, he didn’t just act — he lived the part. When he played a warrior, he learned their strength. When he played a monk, he gained their discipline. And when he played a villain, he inherited their ruthless will to survive.
As his skills grew, so did his fame. But the deeper he sank into this new world, the harder it became to tell where acting ended and reality began. Enemies from the industry, hidden powers, and mysterious figures started to take notice.
Now, with his rising fame and the system’s power pushing him forward, Caleb must walk a path between illusion and truth — where one performance could change not only his career but the fate of the entire world.

Chapter: Chapter 17: The Veteran's SacrificeMaverick Wyatt had completely lost control of his bladder. He peed himself, right there on set.Guess who smelled it first? Caleb Davis, naturally.After pushing his martial arts training so hard these last few weeks, his senses—especially smell—had become razor-sharp, almost unnerving, honestly.So yeah, he was the first to catch the distinctly foul, pungent stink rolling off Maverick Wyatt. His eyes narrowed instantly, and for a split second, he was genuinely shocked. Profoundly shocked, even.See, he’d always thought that with the authentic, ingrained memories of the Grand Eunuch ‘Colt Cooper’ guiding him, his own performance of the vile character was unmatched. Like, nobody else in the whole country could touch his level of authenticity.But holy cow, he never expected to meet a heavyweight like Maverick Wyatt.This guy wasn't just acting the Eunuch; he was living the castration side effects!Caleb Davis knew the grim history well, thanks to Colt Cooper’s memories. Eunuchs, those

Chapter: Chapter 16: Perhaps You Should Tone It Down?Maverick Wyatt was honest with himself—at least internally. As an actor, he was completely useless.His skills? Non-existent. His work ethic? Lazy, bordering on hostile. He’d spent the entire first day of shooting, relying on his deep-pocketed sponsors, throwing his weight around, and basically treating the Director like a waiter.Honestly, the only thing he was focused on was figuring out the best way to get some private time with the female lead.But even a useless actor like him knew one thing: today’s catastrophe was not his fault!Caleb Davis was the one who went off-script and improvised a line, right? So why in the world was he the one getting the verbal beatdown?A storm of sheer outrage built up in his chest. He felt totally, unshakably justified. He figured that if the actual, in-the-flesh Emperor showed up to arbitrate, he’d still win the argument.The Director just stared at Maverick Wyatt’s stubborn, righteous pout, then let out a short, harsh laugh. “Are you a grade-A id

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Grand Eunuch's GazeListen, as the lead actor, chosen by the big money people, Maverick Wyatt wasn’t exactly running the show. But slipping a few personal demands into the script? Yeah, that was definitely a perk he could afford.So, purely out of self-interest—you know how these stars are—he did this pretty petty, unreasonable thing: he changed the hero’s surname in the movie to Henry, just like his own.It’s a bold, kind of cheeky move, but I have to admit, it was effective.Since Wyatt is such a rare family name in their world, having the character and the actor share it gives a strong, powerful first impression to the audience. If he just managed to act halfway decently, people would forever connect his face with the great hero of the story.When Caleb Davis first spoke those words, “Great Hero Henry,” he was just doing his job, speaking as his character, the sinister eunuch Colt Cooper, to Maverick Wyatt’s heroic role.But Maverick Wyatt didn't hear the character. He heard himself being addressed. H

Chapter: Chapter 14: Are You Kidding Me?Maverick Wyatt? Yeah, his arrogance just evaporated. Poof. All those tough words and grand plans he had about ambushing Caleb Davis? Gone. He was shaking, absolutely terrified, his whole being screaming at him to bolt, to just vanish into thin air.But his feet—those dead things—were like anchors of sheer, cold terror, frozen solid to the dirt.“Move! You absolute wastes of space! Just run!” He was screaming this internally at his own useless legs.Then he watched Caleb Davis start walking toward him, just casually strolling, and panic took over. Maverick Wyatt’s heart started hammering a desperate, frantic rhythm against his ribs. Since the kid was already eaten up by guilt and knew he was outmatched, he immediately assumed Caleb Davis was coming over to settle the score right now. To teach him a painful, unforgettable lesson for daring to stick his nose in.That psychological pressure finally did the trick. Maverick Wyatt’s feet came back to life.He didn’t hesitate. He just bolted,

Chapter: Chapter 13: Caleb Davis's First Experience“Brother Caleb, hitting the practice hard again?”The voice was super familiar, catching Caleb Davis’s attention as it drifted in from a quiet corner. This was the one place the crazy set noise rarely reached.He looked over, honestly surprised to see James Jaxon walking up. Seriously? he thought, mentally rolling his eyes. I picked this spot for absolute privacy. How did the fight choreographer manage to track me down?Does this guy have literally nothing else to do?He answered smoothly, "Yeah, just finishing up my forms. Brother Jaxon, everything alright?"“Oh, not a big deal at all, just wandering around aimlessly and ran right into you,” James Jaxon declared, keeping his face totally straight. He was lying, of course, but he didn’t even blink.The truth? He had spent time tracking Caleb Davis's movements just to find this exact, secluded location. But that wasn't the important part of the conversation.The important part was:“Brother Caleb, are you busy right this second?” James

Chapter: Chapter 12: The Wicked File the Complaint FirstNine o'clock in the morning. Sharp.It was just another Tuesday—or whatever day it was. After his usual morning ritual—the intense martial arts session in the park—Caleb Davis headed home, did the quick brush-and-wash, and grabbed his street-vendor breakfast. Today, it was an egg pancake wrap, still warm. He practically flew toward the set.The crew was already rolling.I mean, total chaos. People were sprinting everywhere, dragging cables and yelling at each other, all under the Director’s frantic guidance. The whole place was buzzing, seriously loud.Caleb Davis snagged a decent spot, settled down, and started eating his wrap, watching the spectacle unfold. He looked perfectly relaxed, like he was just at the movies.But, you know how it is. Peace never lasts. Someone immediately decided to bother him.“Why didn’t you show up last night?”The voice, coming from his left, was sharp and had this completely overbearing tone—like she owned the air he was breathing.Caleb Davis stopped m

Chapter: Chapter 148: Replacing the Royal FamilySebastian Vance stood frozen, utterly stunned.He had brought a warrior—a massive force meant to crush Emberfall Town. He had expected to walk away a victor, maybe even watch Kael Draven fall beneath his banners. He had been certain. Absolutely certain.And then… everything fell apart.“Sebastian Vance,” Kael Draven said quietly, but with steel in his voice, “no matter what you tell yourself, I always considered you a brother. I don’t blame you. Being part of the royal family… sometimes you have no choice.”Those words hit Sebastian Vance like a winter wind slicing through layers of armor. He shivered. His eyes stayed locked on Kael Draven. For a long moment, there was no pride left—just a messy mix of shame, relief, and a faint trace of grief. He had never guessed that Kael Draven had truly seen him as a friend. As a brother.Royal life didn’t allow for that. In the palace, even blood could sour into enmity. That was the harsh truth Sebastian Vance had lived with all his life.“Leave

Pure, unrelenting killing intent.Even before the figure came into view, the air itself seemed to shiver. A terrifying aura had already descended, pressing down like a storm hell-bent on swallowing the world whole.Kael Draven wasn’t like other tribulation warriors. He had devoured the Thunder Tribulation itself and fused with its power. Now, every fiber of his being pulsed with the raw, untamed might of thunder.The Thunder Tribulation… one of the deadliest forces in all creation. Its power alone could shred ordinary humans like paper.Everyone around him felt it instantly. Especially Sebastian Vance. His face drained of color, shadows of fear darkening his features. He knew. He knew exactly who was coming.Kael Draven?How… how was he not dead?Panic tightened around Sebastian Vance like iron chains. Kael Draven’s strength wasn’t just dangerous—it was absolute.

Chapter: Chapter 146: A Roar Through the Skies“Brother Draven, it’s better that the Veyne and Duskbane families leave. At least now, we can see their true colors.”Ardyn Draven glanced at Halvor Stormveil and let out a quiet, wry smile.Of the four great families of Emberfall Town, only the Stormveil family had stayed loyal, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Dravens.Even though Kael Draven and Aria Stormveil were a couple, his fate hung in the balance. Yet the Stormveil family had not wavered for a moment. That alone spoke volumes—honor, loyalty, and courage.Nodding, Ardyn Draven chuckled softly. “With the Stormveil family backing us, the Dravens are more than strong enough.”Meanwhile, the Veyne and Duskbane families had abandoned Emberfall Town and approached the Starcloud royal warrior, eager to pledge their allegiance. But when their heads tried to meet Sebastian Vance, they were flatly dismissed.Shock froze the two families in place. They had thought their defection would win favor with the royals and that they’d bec

He began merging the powers immediately.The Blood-Drinking Eight and the Destruction Seal Technique—fusing them with the raw energy of the Thunder Tribulation—looked simple on paper. In practice? It was a nightmare.He worked through the night, sweat streaming, energy crackling around him like it had a life of its own, until finally, a partial fusion was complete. Even then, Kael Draven’s confidence burned brighter than ever. Right now, both techniques are at least twice as strong.Starcloud City.News of Kael Draven’s battle with the ancient patriarch of the Starcloud royal family spread like wildfire.

The Nine-Turn Reincarnation Art had reforged him completely, purifying him down to the very bones. He wasn’t the same boy who had faced the Thunder Tribulation moments ago—he was reborn, sharper, faster, alive in every fiber of his being.To the people watching? He looked like a lunatic. Pure, unmitigated madness. A fool walking straight into death.But Kael Draven didn’t hesitate. He strode forward, unflinching, toward the swirling storm above Starcloud City. The clouds churned like angry seas, and the thunder roared as if the heavens themselves were beating war drums.“You want to destroy me? Then I’ll destroy you first!”A wild laugh tore from his lips. He raised the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, feeling every ounce of his power gather in his hands. With a roar that echoed across the city, he swung.
