Level Up Arcana
Arcana High is known as the greatest magic academy in the Bluestar World. It is prestigious, disciplined, and supposedly safe. But when a group of ordinary teens accidentally breaks into the academy’s restricted library, they uncover something no student was ever meant to see: A living, ancient map that chooses them as its “Special Players.”
From that moment on, their lives changed into a strange, game-like reality where hidden, forbidden regions appeared all around the Bluestar World. Monsters, Mutated Beasts, Zombies, and unknown monstrosities roam the world.
Every basic spell evolves like a skill tree. And the map keeps issuing quests with one warning: “Level up… or die.”
Forced to team up despite their clashing personalities, the teens must explore the world's hidden regions, unlock ancient magic, and complete trials that push them far beyond their limits.
But the deeper they go, the more they realize: The map is just a trial ground for divine beings called the Naphil. Entities powerful enough to rewrite the structure of the Bluestar World. And now, they want to filter out the strong players from the weak.
If humans can't level up fast enough, Arcana High won’t be the only thing that falls…The entire realm will.

Chapter: Ch.22 General OfficeRaiden and Kade quickly headed toward the sound. Through the office's glass door, they saw five people inside — four men and one woman, all pressed against the far wall, looking terrified.Raiden looked them over briefly. None of them appeared injured. No bites or scratches."If you trust us, then follow behind us," Raiden said through the glass. His tone was calm but firm. "Stay close. Don't fall behind."He didn't wait for their response. He turned and continued running toward the General Office.On this level, the only zombies left were scattered former staff members. Following behind him wouldn't be too dangerous as long as they stayed close.Inside the Financial Office, a guy wearing glasses turned to the handsome young man beside him. The young man was dressed in expensive brand-name clothes with an elegant and fashionable look. He held a wooden staff in one hand."What now, Zhao Zhen?" the glasses-wearing guy asked nervously.Zhao Zhen looked toward the direction Raiden had gon

Chapter: Ch.21 Help!"We've got company!" Kade shouted, glancing back.Following their assault on the four zombies, more and more undead were gathering behind them. The sounds of combat had drawn them from all directions.The horde was growing denser by the second, looking extremely scary. Raiden and Kade didn't dare stay in one place for even a moment. They both continued charging forward, quickly killing any zombies that blocked their path.But there were too many now. They didn't even have time to pick up the System Coins that dropped from the zombies they killed.Raiden's sword flashed again and again. His blade cut through rotting flesh and bone with brutal efficiency. Behind him, Kade fired controlled shots, each bullet finding a zombie's skull.They carved a bloody path through the undead.A zombie lunged at Raiden from the side. He spun and brought his sword down in a clean arc, severing its head from its shoulders.[You have killed a Level 4 Spirit Circle Zombie and acquired its mana]The white o

Chapter: Ch.20 RecoveryRaiden walked back to the group, his mind already working through the logistics. Getting out of the dorm was one thing. Getting vehicles and making it to the Golden District was another."Driving a school bus, that's not a problem, right?" Raiden asked, looking at Talia specifically. What he needed was someone who could handle a large vehicle whilst he, Mira, and Kade focused on protecting the vehicle.Talia confidently replied, "There's no problem at all!""Do you know where the keys to the school bus are?" Raiden continued. Without the keys, even if they found the bus in the garage, it would be useless.Talia thought for a moment, then quickly said, "The school bus driver's room is between the General Office and the Academic Affairs office. His name is George. If nothing else has happened to him, we should be able to find the keys in one of those two places."Talia had been the president of the second-year student council, so she regularly dealt with the academy's administration.

Chapter: Ch.19 PlanRaiden sat on one of the beds with his eyes closed, sweating profusely. Though he was stronger than both Mira and Kade, the fierce battle with the zombies had consumed most of his stamina.His muscles ached and his arms felt like lead. Every breath came harder than the last.Right now in the dorm room, besides Raiden, Mira, and Kade, there were four other girls. The four girls looked at Raiden and Kade with curious eyes, especially Raiden.Just moments ago, they'd watched him rush into a horde of zombies, cutting them down with brutal efficiency to protect the dorm entrance. That scene was now engraved in their minds.A sweet scent drifted over.A girl wearing jeans and a white t-shirt with long flowing hair walked toward Raiden. She was beautiful and vibrant, with an energy that seemed impossible given the circumstances. She stopped in front of him with a slight smile."Hello, my name is Talia Crow," she said, her voice warm. "What's your name?"Raiden looked up at her, his gray eyes

Chapter: Ch.18 Close Call IIThe female zombie was right in his face now, close enough that he could smell the rancid odor coming from its rotting body. Its face was tattered, chunks of flesh missing, and teeth exposed in a permanent grimace.Raiden wanted to vomit. But more than that, he wanted to live.He kicked out brutally, slamming his boot into the zombie's abdomen. His enhanced strength, boosted by multiple level-ups, erupted through the blow.The zombie flew backward two meters, crashing into the wall with a sickening thud.Raiden didn't give it a chance to recover. He stepped forward and brought his sword down in a clean overhead chop, splitting the zombie's skull open.[You have killed a Level 6 Spirit Circle S1 Zombie and acquired its mana]The moment the zombie died, something appeared beside its corpse.The familiar black treasure box, about the size of a shoebox, materialized out of thin air. It glowed faintly with energy.Raiden stared at it for a second, then quickly grabbed it and shoved it into

Chapter: Ch.17 Close Call IThe trio worked together with brutal efficiency, cutting down every zombie that surrounded the girls' dormitory entrance.Within minutes, the area was clear. Bodies littered the ground, dark blood pooling across the concrete.But Raiden knew more would come. The sounds of combat had echoed across the entire district. Every zombie within hearing range would be heading their way soon."We need to secure this place," Raiden said, already moving.He sprinted toward the dormitory's security room, a small office just inside the entrance. The door hung open, and the guard who'd manned it was nowhere to be seen. Probably dead or turned into a zombie.Raiden rummaged through the desk drawers, searching frantically for keys. He needed the keys.There. He found a ring of them, dozens of keys labeled with room numbers and building codes. And beside them, a heavy-duty padlock with a thick chain."Perfect." Raiden grabbed both and ran back outside.Mira and Kade were already at the gate, keeping wa

Blind Paragon: Soul Devourer in a Game-Like World
This is a world where the dead conquer the living, where the gods have forsaken humanity, condemning it to its own demise by turning the world into a kingdom-building progression game.
Yun Kai, a prince blind from birth is constantly being bullied by his royal siblings and even fellow noble heirs.
During a faithful encounter in the mountains, he accidentally shattered a glass ball that changed everything.
The glass ball was a mystical artifact sealed by the First World King. This triggered a world-changing event: the entire Desolate Martial World transforms into a game-like system centered on warfare and kingdom building, forcing all the living beings into an era of endless conquest.
Fortunately, he acquired rewards that included a God-Level Village Building Token, a Unique Architectural Blueprint, and some additional techniques.
Within those rewards is the mysterious Spiritual Ocean Sutra, a cultivation technique that strengthens the practitioner's soul consciousness, spiritual sense, and allows him to devour souls.
Still, at a high cost, which is that he will lose a bit of humanity every time he does so, and by the end of the day, nobody could have guessed whether he would be the hero that saves the world, or the demon that destroys it.
Relying on his improved instincts as he finally began to cultivate, he realizes a huge conspiracy is underfoot within the Desolate Martial World.
In order to solve the mysteries around him, he must rely on his ability and the powerful but baffling Spiritual Ocean Sutra. Countless enemies obstruct him as he attempts to climb to the peak of the cultivation world by creating the most powerful Dynasty.
Fate destined him to be nothing but a chess piece, but he would not bow to destiny, or to the will of the heavens.

Chapter: Ch.70 The Wine Rush"I'm born to be useful! Wealth scattered will return again! Such brilliant words!""'Don't stop drinking' — what magnificent spirit! The drinker's name lives on through the ages. I wonder who wrote this masterpiece?"Two scholars stood on a street corner in Cloudville City, reciting verses that had become ubiquitous over the past few days. Passersby nodded along, many able to complete the lines from memory."Do you know the poem's name?" one scholar asked his companion."I heard children calling it 'Thousand Army Drunk,'" the other replied.A merchant passing by overheard and interjected. "That's right — 'Thousand Army Drunk' is also the name of a wine. Ten gold per jar, can you believe it? The story goes that a rustic scholar drank this wine and was so inspired that he composed this immortal poem on the spot.""Is that so?" The first scholar's eyes lit with interest. "I must try this Thousand Army Drunk myself. To drink what inspired such verses, then recite them again while tasting

Chapter: Ch.69 Brilliant PoemMeanwhile, in Cloudville City, Master Qiao sat in his private study examining a sheet of dark yellow paper. His eyes scanned the elegant calligraphy repeatedly, each reading bringing fresh appreciation.The poem was extraordinary. Genuinely extraordinary. Master Qiao had studied classical literature his entire life. He recognized brilliance when he encountered it.And this poem — "Bring in the Wine" — was brilliant.The imagery was vivid. The emotions were powerful. The technical execution was masterful. Whoever had composed this possessed literary talent of the highest caliber.The fact that it came from Village Chief Yun was shocking. The young man seemed preoccupied with commerce and administration — practical concerns that suggested a mind focused on material success rather than artistic achievement.Yet here was proof of extraordinary cultural refinement. The contrast was fascinating."Don't you see the Yellow River's water come from heaven, rushing to the sea, never to return? D

Chapter: Ch.68 Strategic MarketingSince Yun Kai had rented a large boat months ago, river crossings no longer required negotiating with ferry operators. The vessel sat moored at the Wanhe River dock, ready for use whenever needed.The boat had proven its worth repeatedly. In the three months since Yun Kai's departure, it had transported grain, building materials, and now would carry the first major wine shipment to the Qiao family's distribution network.Several new warehouses had been constructed in Spiritrock Village during his absence. The original storage facilities couldn't handle the expanding grain reserves. That was a good problem to have — surplus meant security.The strategy echoed an old saying from Yun Kai's knowledge: "Accumulate grain widely, build walls high, and slowly claim kingship." Store resources, strengthen defenses, and expand power gradually rather than rashly. It was advice that had served many successful rulers throughout history.Yun Kai intended to follow it precisely.Next year, famine wou

Chapter: Ch.67 An Unexpected ComplicationAfter leaving the village, Yun Kai headed directly toward Cloudville City. Léi Shén accompanied him — a necessary precaution given the complicated relationship between Yun Kai and the county magistrate.The magistrate wouldn't give up easily. Especially after witnessing Spiritrock Village's current prosperity, his greed would only intensify. He coveted what Yun Kai had built — that much was obvious from his transparent attempts to extract taxes ahead of schedule.But the magistrate didn't know the village's true military strength. If he did, his covetousness would transform into fear. Spiritrock Village hadn't quite reached parity with the county's forces, but the gap was closing at alarming speed. Even an incompetent administrator would sense the crisis in that trajectory.The primary purpose of this trip was meeting with Master Qiao to finalize wine business details. Basic pricing had been established during their last discussion, but implementation specifics remained unresolved. Di

Chapter: Ch.66 ProsperityYun Kai absorbed the information. Fifty Elite-Tier soldiers. Most player villages probably couldn't field a single Elite-Tier fighter. Spiritrock Village had fifty."Reaching Core-Tier?" Yun Kai asked. "Is that possible?""Difficult," Léi Shén admitted. "I'm classified as a cavalry general. I can train cavalry up to the eighth rank, but we lack proper warhorses. The three we captured are excellent mounts, but fifty Elite-Tier soldiers need fifty elite horses. Without them, advancement to Core-Tier cavalry is blocked.""Infantry Core-Tier?""Possible, but slower. Infantry advancement requires a different specialization than I possess. I can get them to Elite-Tier peak, but proper Core-Tier infantry training needs a specialized infantry general." Léi Shén paused. "Though honestly, fifty Elite-Tier soldiers is already exceptional. Most settlements would consider that an unbeatable force."He was right. In comparison to other player villages, most of which were struggling to maintain a hu

Chapter: Ch.65 Three Months of ProgressYun Kai hadn't been seen in Spiritrock Village for nearly three months. During that absence, much had occurred — some expected, some not. But Jiang Lao had managed everything with steady competence."I'm back," Yun Kai confirmed, returning the bow. "Tell me everything. How has the village fared?"Over the next hour, Jiang Lao provided a comprehensive report. Yun Kai listened carefully, occasionally asking clarifying questions, mentally cataloging every detail.The young administrator's capability impressed him deeply. Jiang Lao was handling responsibilities that could easily occupy a county-level official. Managing a village of this size — even an exceptionally large one, was honestly beneath his talents. But that overqualification meant everything ran smoothly."No major incidents?" Yun Kai asked. "No conflicts, disasters, or threats?""Nothing serious, my lord. A few civil disputes like property boundaries, water rights, that sort of thing. I adjudicated each according to the legal
