Alternate Universe

Pets may reign like emperors— but I am destined to become the Medicine King of another world. Nie Kong was a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his previous life—and a max-level pharmacist who once stood at the peak of a hyper-real game world. During the final battle against an undefeated game boss, fate struck. Lightning fell. Death followed. But instead of ending, his life began again. Reborn into a cultivation world, Nie Kong awakens in the body of a frail young man burdened with a terminal constitution—a body destined to die before the age of eighteen. His meridians are blocked, his blood ব্জpoisoned by years of failed medicines, and his family reduced to a declining shadow watched by predators. Yet something impossible crossed worlds with him. A purple illusory spirit seed, born from collapsed game data and fused with his soul, now lies dormant within his body—awakening as a terrifying spiritual companion with emperor-level potential. Armed with medical knowledge far beyond this world, forbidden needle arts, and a spirit pet that devours medicine to grow stronger, Nie Kong begins to rewrite the rules of cultivation itself. Illness becomes nourishment. Poison becomes a catalyst. Healing becomes a weapon deadlier than blades. As clans scheme, geniuses rise, and ancient powers stir, Nie Kong walks a path no one else dares to tread—a path where medicine rules over cultivation, and a once-weak youth forges his way toward absolute supremacy. This is not the story of a warrior. This is the rise of a man who defies fate itself— the Otherworldly Medicine King.

In the frozen heart of Midgard, Kratos and Atreus find themselves drawn into a nightmare that predates even the gods themselves. When entire villages begin vanishing into thin air—leaving only frozen blood and whispers in the wind—the Ghost of Sparta must confront a horror that cannot be killed by blade alone. Something ancient stirs beneath the Nordic ice. The Draugr no longer stay dead. The forests breathe with malevolent intelligence. And Atreus begins hearing voices that shouldn't exist voices that know his true nature, voices that call him by a name even Kratos fears to speak. As father and son venture deeper into cursed territories where reality itself fractures, they discover that some evils were buried for a reason. The lines between the living and the dead blur. Trust becomes a luxury. And Kratos must ask himself: what happens when you've killed gods, but the true monsters were waiting underneath all along? This is a story of survival, sacrifice, and the terrifying realization that in the world of Norse mythology, death is never the end it's just the beginning of something worse.

In the year 2093, Malcolm Voss is a rogue urban explorer and data smuggler who survives by stealing secrets from the city’s elite.

Suddenly, Malcolm is being hunted by The Parallax Syndicate, a powerful group that has controlled time manipulation for decades. Forced into an uneasy alliance with an eccentric scientist and a hacker with a vendetta, Malcolm must unravel the truth behind the Chronos Institute before time itself collapses. But every use of the device warps reality, erasing people from existence and rewriting the future. As Malcolm races against time—both literally and figuratively—he realizes that the greatest threat isn’t the Syndicate, but himself. Can he control the power before he becomes the very thing he’s fighting against?

Twenty years ago, nine heroes across the world fought the Monarch of Oblivion, a Godlike being who sought to erase humanity. Among them were Korea’s Han Seojin and Lee Mirae, one of the strongest of their generation. The Monarch fell, but his final words promised doom: “When the Monarch of Calamity returns, he will awaken the others. When peace blinds you… they will remind you of fear.” To the world, the heroes claimed victory and founded the World Hero School Competition, a global system said to train future defenders. In truth, it was a hidden plan created to find those capable of resisting the Monarchs when they ever rise again. Years later, their second child Han Jiwoo lives a quiet life in Seoul — unaware of his parents’ past or the secret buried within him. During his Awakening, his mana fractures the test crystal, revealing an impossible result: Dual-Class — Combat and Unknown. Unknown… the same signature as the Monarch of Oblivion's core but known to no one other than his parents and headmaster. Sent to Eclipse Academy, a once-glorious school now fallen from prestige, Jiwoo becomes the center of attention — admired, doubted, and watched. But when a fateful duel pushes him to the brink, his second power awakens, and within his consciousness, a forgotten voice speaks once more. Bound to the Monarch who once threatened humanity, Jiwoo must master the power that defies gods while forging his own path between light and void.
