Arrogant(e)

The world ended once. Then it came back wrong. Seven years after the Aura Revival, Earth is no longer safe. New York City has become a war zone. Giant monsters surge through the streets in Beast Tides. Powerful bloodline families rule from fortified towers, using ancient cultivation powers that feel closer to gods than humans. Ronan Burke is nobody. He’s an orphan with no family, no backing, and no talent for cultivation. He survives by running dangerous courier jobs and staying out of sight. Every day is about not getting killed, by beasts, gangs, or the families who control everything. Then one escape goes wrong. Cornered during a Beast Tide, Ronan comes into contact with a relic that should not exist. It doesn’t just give him power. It locks him into a contract. A system awakens in his mind. It gives him one command: Reach Level 16 in every cultivation realm. Achieve perfection. Fail and die. In a world where even the greatest geniuses can barely reach Level 14, Ronan is forced to chase a level everyone believes is impossible. Every breakthrough makes him stronger, and more dangerous to discover. If the families find out what he is, they won’t recruit him. They’ll cut him open to steal his secret. To survive, Ronan must grow in silence. He scavenges the ruins, hunts monsters far above his level, outplays arrogant heirs, and hides his strength at every turn. His only ally is the cold, relentless system guiding him toward a kind of power the modern world insists no longer exists. The Beast Tides are getting worse. The bloodline families are making their moves. And Ronan Burke, the weakest man in the city, may be its last unseen hope… if he can stay hidden long enough.

In a cultivation world where talent decides fate, 28-year-old Alexander Kane has spent ten long years as the Azure Cloud Sect’s biggest joke — stuck at Qi Refining First Layer despite endless effort. Mocked daily as worthless trash and robbed of his hard-earned opportunities by arrogant rivals like Victor Lang, Alexander’s final humiliation comes when he is publicly expelled and violently shoved into the forbidden abyss to die. Instead of death, he finds awakening. On the brink of being devoured by a guardian beast, Alexander triggers the Supreme Late Bloomer System — a mysterious power that allows him to absorb any spiritual energy, technique, or heavenly treasure at maximum efficiency and evolve them instantly. What once took others decades now takes him moments. With his new power, Alexander begins a relentless rise. He delivers his first satisfying face-slaps against those who betrayed him, rapidly climbs through realms, and uncovers the terrifying truth: an ancient hidden realm war between long-forgotten sovereigns is stirring once again, threatening to erase the entire continent. Now labeled a demonic anomaly by the very sect that discarded him, Alexander must survive deadly fragment zones, forge uneasy alliances, and grow stronger than anyone imagined — all while the war fragments pull him deeper into a destiny he was never meant to claim. From the weakest outer sect disciple to the one who defies heaven itself… How far will the Late Awakener go when the entire cultivation world wants him dead, and an ancient war demands he rise? The Late Awakener: Never Meant to Rise — a fast-paced cultivation story of revenge, explosive growth, and ancient secrets where one man’s late awakening threatens to rewrite the fate of the world.

"In the Arctic, there are no witnesses. Only the ice." Vane Skadi found the ultimate energy source—and earned a flare to the chest and a thousand-foot drop into a nameless crevasse.

Consuming the frozen spirits of ancient predators, he masters absolute zero. He can strip thermal energy, forge weapons from black ice, and command the very blizzards meant to bury him.

In the first apocalypse timeline, he trusted the wrong people, gave away what little he had, and was betrayed when food became more valuable than human life. Death came quietly—without heroism, without meaning. Then time rewound. Kyle wakes minutes before the world collapses, reborn with all his memories intact—and a system no one else possesses: the Infinite Supplies System. Food. Water. Weapons. A private Paradise Space untouched by ruin. But abundance comes with a rule carved in cold logic: nothing is free. Supplies can only be unlocked through Emotional Function Points. As cities fall and boys’ survivor zones are wiped out, a sealed girls’ campus becomes an island of desperation. Kyle alone can move freely through the apocalypse. He doesn’t force obedience. He waits. Hunger does the work. Cleaning earns meals. Labor earns water. Emotion—fear, shame, gratitude, desire—determines how much. Six girls stand at the center of this fragile balance: a campus beauty hiding terror behind smiles, an ice-cold strategist who refuses to beg, a fallen heiress desperate to reclaim control, an arrogant provocateur who thrives on chaos, a kind healer who sacrifices herself too easily, and a hardened survivor who refuses to be owned. Between them, alliances form and fracture. Submission becomes strategy. Strategy becomes betrayal. Kyle’s relationships with them are never simple. He is their provider, their ruler, their shield—and, increasingly, their moral problem. As the system rewards cruelty more efficiently than kindness, Kyle begins to realize a terrifying truth: the system doesn’t care about survival. It cares about consumption. When outside survivor factions finally make contact and the system escalates beyond Kyle’s control, he is forced to choose—declare himself sovereign over a starving world, or challenge the very system that keeps everyone alive. And the system is already watching how he decides.
