Body Tempering

Once, Kael Draven was the Godslayer, the first mortal to ascend beyond godhood, feared by immortals and revered by mortals. But power breeds envy, and betrayal is sharper than any blade. Slain by his closest allies, Kael’s soul was shattered, his name erased from history. A thousand years later, Kael awakens in the body of a frail, ridiculed youth in a crumbling kingdom. The cultivation arts he mastered are now forgotten legends, and those who once knelt before him have risen as untouchable divine emperors. But Kael does not seek peace. Armed with ancient knowledge, a mysterious System of Vengeance, and a heart burning with wrath, he vows to reclaim his throne, not as a god, but as the one who will tear gods from their thrones. In a world where strength is law and the heavens conspire against him, one man will rise from the ashes to rewrite destiny itself.

The SYN virus turned men into flesh-craving monsters, causing the Earth to lose more than half of its population. Just when humanity gave up, fighters known as Reapers arose from the ruins, once infected but now immune. With their new strengths, these reapers could turn the tide. Alex Ray, just turned sixteen, was never meant to survive. Shot for defying a corrupt officer, his body is dumped in the Outer Regions—Earth’s deadliest horror land. However, God had other plans. [Congratulations, Mortal, you have fulfilled all requirements and obtained the Magnus Dei System.] [Host’s potential: Unlimited.] [Rank: 0] The system’s arrival sparks a new beginning with a single directive: survive and ascend, but great power invites greater responsibilities, and there’s even more. Alex holds within his blood the cure to the virus, and now he must prevent both the system and the cure from falling into the wrong hands. Otherwise, the virus will not only end humanity… but rewrite the very design of creation.

He was the world’s top gamer—the undefeated champion of Kingdom War Online. But moments after claiming his final victory, he died… only to awaken inside the game—as the very villain everyone wants dead.

Worse, he’s stuck in the body of a tyrant hated by the world, with an endgame war looming that promises his destruction. His only shot at survival? Break the rules, rewrite the story, and conquer the world before it conquers him. With cunning, charisma, and sheer dominance, Lord Virex begins gathering powerful female war generals—once enemies, now loyal to him alone. Each one is deadly. Each one desires him. And each one holds the key to changing fate itself. But the deeper he goes, the more secrets he uncovers… and the closer the real enemies draw. In a world where betrayal lurks behind beauty and every move could trigger the end, can the villain become the true king?

Elliot Kane is a scrawny, introverted college freshman at Crestwood University, relentlessly bullied by the campus elite: jocks, frat boys, and social media influencers who thrive on his humiliation. One night, during a particularly brutal encounter that leaves him battered in a dark alley, a mysterious cosmic anomaly binds an alien neural entity to his mind: the Death Mind System. This system grants Elliot a chilling power: by knowing a person’s true name and whispering their death in his mind, he can kill them instantly, their body collapsing as if their soul were snuffed out. No evidence, no trace; just a thought, and they’re gone. But the system isn’t just a weapon; it’s a living, evolving intelligence that feeds on death. Each kill upgrades its capabilities, unlocking new mental abilities: telepathic manipulation, memory siphoning, even glimpses into the victim’s final thoughts. The more Elliot kills, the stronger and more addictive the system becomes, transforming him from a timid outcast into a calculating force of vengeance.

But as Alex climbs from the sect's bottom to the realm's peak, he discovers the System's true purpose isn't justice. It's harvesting. Armed with explosive compounds disguised as cultivation pills, poison antidotes that shouldn't exist, and breakthrough elixirs that shatter natural limits, Alex must master both revenge and romance. The brilliant Mei Ling captures his heart, but can he trust her when everyone has hidden agendas? **In a world where strength determines everything, the strongest weapon isn't a sword—it's science.** Will Alex break free from the System's control and forge his own destiny, or will his pursuit of revenge consume everything he's fighting to protect? *Power. Revenge. Redemption. The formula for immortality has never been deadlier.*

The enhancement serum was meant to create superhumans—faster, smarter, stronger. Instead, it wiped out most of civilization and turned the rest into Hollowed: vicious, mutated monsters.

He’s the first successful mutation—and now, everyone wants him. Hunted by Viratech, the shady corporation that created the virus, Black Sun, a ruthless cult with dark motives, and other mutated survivors who’ve lost their humanity, Elias is stuck in a crumbling world ruled by chaos. His body keeps changing, the System in his head grants strange abilities with dangerous side effects, and his forgotten past might hold the key to everything. To survive, Elias must uncover the truth behind the virus, his own identity, and whether saving the world means losing what’s left of himself. Monsters. Mutations. Mystery. And a war on the horizon.
