Best Ken Follett

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 an alternative universe wars are taking place between humans and ghouls. A thousand years ago, humans built a siege to keep the ghouls trapped inside and stop them from attacking human villages. Fifty years ago, the siege cracked, and ghouls flooded the human world, destroying many cities. They disguise themselves as humans or animals when they infiltrate cities. Then, they reveal their true forms, attack, and burn everything to the ground. Scientists built a barrier system to keep ghouls out, and governments trained warriors to use high-tech devices to fight them. The strongest group of warriors, who fought bravely for the last decade, are called the Knights of Askalan. They fought the battle that took place ten years ago, protecting their city from ghouls, and are now the heroes and protectors of the city. Ali is a 21-year-old fresh graduate. On the day of his graduation, he was having fun with his friends and taking pictures during the ceremony when ghouls attacked from the sea. Somehow they broke the barrier. His friends were killed while trying to escape. He went to check on his family, but two of his brothers had been killed while defending his mother and younger sister, and his father was injured. He tried to get them to safety amid the chaos, but they were trapped. So, he decided to sacrifice himself, leading the ghouls away from his family. The ghouls surrounded him and attacked one by one. Just as he thought he was finished, a system screen appeared, giving him a choice: start over the day with new armor or carry on and die.

At nineteen, he discovered the truth: the Star wasn't a blessing but a beacon, calling to the Devourers, cosmic horrors that feast on divine essence.
