A Moment In Destiny

[Divorce + Hidden Identity + Face-slapping + CEO] For three years, Lucas washed clothes, cooked meals, and served the Carter family like a servant, hiding his identity as the sole heir to the world's richest banking family.

He looked exactly like her ex-husband. She knelt down, crying: "Lucas, I was wrong! Please take me back!" Lucas looked at her coldly, holding a beautiful CEO in his arms: "Who are you? Security, throw this crazy woman out."

He leaned forward, staring hard to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. Total Value: Forty billion dollars. He clicked Convert to USD. A small spinning circle appeared on the screen. Then all of sudden, it showed up a notification on the screen. Transaction Successful.  His screen refreshed, and the number appeared in green: Available Balance: $40,000,000,000.00 Ryan let out a cold loud breath.

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.

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.

Leo was typical, overlooked and completely unprepared when a forbidden tome chose him and gave him the mark of a Warden and placed him under the Mage Academy. This school is an intermediary between worlds, a training ground where recipients of a gift of a System Interface, called a Codex, are trained. However, the file of Leo himself is empty, his Codex whispers that they are “unfinished,” and the elite at the Academy are watching him with suspicion and fear. Dropped into a realm of magical rank and fatal challenges, Leo is an exception. His magic is not dead, but a forbidden energy, which develops by consuming the magic and memories of others. In a maimed mentor who has an overabundance of knowledge, a genius competitor with a cursed lineage, and an ally with a talent to outwit the street, Leo discovers a rot inside the Academy.
