Silence. Like a nice bucket of shhhhhhhhh. Everyone shut the effing fudge UP! That's all I've ever wanted. *Sigh.* But silence comes in different flavors. There's mint - the peaceful kind that wraps around you like a blanket. The kind I chase at 2 AM. I've cried once. Just once. With a bucket beside me, watching heroes with super suits and impossible strength tear each other apart. Somehow that feels less broken than my reality. Then there's the suffocating silence at school. Not an ice cream flavor. This one tastes like metal and shame. High school is my personal hell. Empty wallet, empty lunch tray, empty seat beside me like I'm radioactive. Empty soul on Wednesdays because middles are always the worst. *The usual.* But Emily made the silence bearable. Mint-flavored again. Until she broke something between us. *Snap.* One moment she's whispering secrets with me, the next she's weaponizing them. She scattered my private thoughts, added her own twisted lies. The betrayal burns hotter than the stares drilling into my back. I went from invisible to spectacle. Being a ghost feels like luxury when you're dodging spit balls and "accidental" lunch trays. But somewhere between my third panic attack and contemplating switching schools... *Something shifted.* Like in those games you play, when your character suddenly glows and the screen flashes: "New Skill Unlocked" And it wasn't just in my head. I tested it. Small things at first – a pencil moving across my desk when I focused hard enough. Then books. Then someone's lunch tray right as they walked past Emily. *tap tap tap* I used to think rock bottom was the end. *Well ladies and gentlemen,* it's just a really messed up spawn point. And now? I don't stumble from cliffs anymore. I swim in gravity, and dive head first.

Elias Cross wanted nothing more than to disappear. Once the city’s most brilliant forensic architect, he vanished after a scandal that destroyed his career. But when an old friend turns up dead — and the body is staged inside one of Elias’s abandoned designs — he’s pulled back into a world he swore he’d left behind. Each crime scene is a building. Each building is a clue. Each clue points to an impossible blueprint for the city’s destruction. With only a reckless journalist and a washed-up detective by his side, Elias must outwit a ghostly mastermind known only as The Mason. But as the city becomes a maze of deadly puzzles, Elias discovers the final design isn’t about buildings. It’s about him.

A reincarnated genius scientist, once nameless in the modern world, now reborn into a world of magic. Though his death, steeped in betrayal, was painful, Victor remains determined to pursue his dream, one that should be impossible in this world. One day, he discovers what he had long sought: the Book of Rune Magic, a tome dismissed as useless in this world due to the existence of Gifted, whose powers are far more practical and easier to use than rune-based magic. Upon learning this, Victor becomes determined to reshape the kingdom into a futuristic civilization. But with no clear idea of who is friend or foe, Paul begins his journey across the kingdom, quietly building his own power in secret.

David slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was now a small child riding on a dragon but not just any dragon, a golden dragon and behind him was a woman holding on to him tightly with tears falling down from her eyes. Before David could raise his head and see the face of the woman the dragon landed, landing in front of a familiar orphanage David recognized from the broken fragments of his memory he was able to recall. David upon seeing the orphanage realized that where he was and everything, he was seeing was memory of his past but this one, unlike the others, wasn’t an unclear broken fragment, it felt real, almost as though everything he was seeing was really happening. The woman then with tears still falling down from her eyes carried David and came down from golden dragon, revealing her face to be none other than Ibierana, the Golden Dragon Warrior. David upon seeing her face was beyond shocked, wondering how he knew the Golden Dragon Warrior from his past but finally realizing something, something everything from the temple calling out to him to his ability to control all four elements and even the golden power he used against the elemental beast pointed to, something he had ignore to just refused to accept all together, thinking that it was an impossibility.

People in the myriad realms began cultivation by opening their spirit meridians and condensing a Qi sea in their daitian through the absorption of the essence of heaven and earth. "All living things are not born equal under the Heavens, yet the Great Dao is fair as far as one is willing there is a way " Zhan Shenwei was not useless, although he had crippled meridians, he was born with " Innate Divine Strength " and was known for his humongous appetite and battle strength, even among his generation none could defeat him.
