Body Tempering

Ten years ago, Kael Draven was the pride of his family and the brightest genius in Emberfall Town. At just eight years old, he had already climbed to heights other cultivators only dreamed of. Everyone said he was destined for greatness. But one failed breakthrough shattered his future. His cultivation collapsed, his talent vanished, and the boy once hailed as a prodigy became the family’s greatest disgrace. Branded a waste, mocked and beaten by his own kin, Kael endured a decade of humiliation with nothing to show for it. Everything changes the night he discovers a strange black seal hidden in the Elderstone Hall. When his blood awakens the Dragon Seal, a shadow of a dragon roars to life, and the truth is revealed—Kael carries the Desolate Sacred Body, a physique both feared and revered. Cursed to demand endless energy yet blessed with limitless potential, it is both his greatest weakness and his greatest weapon. With the Nine Cycles of Samsara carved into his soul and the Dragon Seal at his side, Kael’s path begins anew. The family that scorned him will learn fear. The rivals who mocked him will kneel. And the world will remember the name they once spat on. He is no longer trash. He is the War Dragon.

To save them, he broke himself. To destroy them, he will break the world. Evans was the Azure Cloud Sect’s greatest healer. He spent years mending broken bones, curing deadly poisons, and saving the lives of disciples who called him brother. He gave away his wealth, his time, and even his own health to ensure others flourished. His reward was betrayal. Accused of crimes he didn't commit by the very people he saved, Evans is stripped of his rank, his dignity, and his cultivation. With his Qi sealed and his body broken, he is thrown into the mud, cast out as a "parasite." But the sect made one fatal mistake. They didn't check his pockets. Possessing a mysterious, charred seed given to him by a dying beggar—an artifact that only blooms in the ashes of a ruined life—Evans survives. But the man who rises from the mud is no longer a healer. The seed grants him a power antithetical to the life he once nurtured: the power to rot, to wither, and to consume. Now, Evans walks a new path. He will cure the world of its hypocrisy, one "righteous" cultivator at a time. They called him a parasite. He will show them the plague.

Five years after the Red Rose plague transformed Chicago into a vegetative hell, Nico Moretti survives as a monster wearing human skin. Known as Subject 01, Nico is the Patient Zero who successfully adapted to the alien seeds from Aegis Pharma. However, that power comes with a horrific price: every 1% increase in Mutation permanently strips away 1% of his memories. In the midst of the Great Bloom Cycle that has begun to destroy the remnants of civilization, Nico rescues Elena Vance, a scientist who holds the secret key to Project Catalyst. Nico is now hunted not only by the Apostles—humans who worship the plague—but also by Sovereign, the collective consciousness of the roses that seeks to take over his body completely. With the arrival of The Reapers from space and a military ready to incinerate the city, Nico must fight through thousands of Bloomers toward the Greenhouse. He must choose: lose all his memories to become a God who destroys his enemies, or die as a human who doesn't remember who he is. Blood must be spilled, mutations must bloom. Because in this world, power isn't free—it is paid for with the soul.

So, I decided to dedicate my time, my effort, my LIFE to my work in the hopes that I would be of help to my fellow man. But in a twist of fate the people I wished to help have turned on me. This left me broken with a hole in my mind and heart, but my resolve would not waver. Like every failure from before, I began to pick up the shattered pieces of myself and attempted to put myself back together, but suddenly I am reminded of what I truly wanted. ADVENTURE.

Zaiden's parents were killed when he was just 10 years old in a brutal attack, leaving him with nothing. Fueled by a desire for revenge, he pushed himself relentlessly in training, determined to grow stronger.

All the while, he desperately sought a cure for his blindness, but the final key was elusive: he needed tears of true love. However, love was something he never found.

"I must be losing my mind," Min Suhyun muttered, struggling to grasp the unsettling reality that unfolded before her. How had she ended up here? In the realm of clichéd stories, such a trope typically befell the deceased, not someone who had merely skimmed through old drafts. And yet, here she was, trapped in the body of an insignificant extra named Serein Rowe. The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning, raising questions she couldn't easily dismiss. ‘This can't be another one of my lucid dreams... Is this some twisted cosmic joke?’ she pondered, her mind reeling with the absurdity of her situation. Nevertheless, given that she could barely do anything to return to her world, she might as well seize this opportunity to finally finish what she had started, right? Living here and continuing until the end of this draft, she could create a good ending, '—though maybe it won't be as easy…?' Surviving as a side character suffering from a curse-like chronic illness? That would undoubtedly be a struggle. Now, that would undoubtedly pose a challenge, although it’s still a better fate than dying early, serving only as a trigger for the story's advancement. Min Suhyun contemplated for a moment before firmly resolving to a single objective: To survive until the very end.

From Erwin Wickison I never asked to be here. One moment I was living my life, and the next I was dragged—along with millions of others—into a place ruled by a system that treats us like pieces on a board. Every Game is built to break something, whether it’s a body, a mind, or the small parts of myself I keep pretending are “good.” I’ve watched people die. I’ve watched people change. And I know I’m changing too. I just hope there’s something human left in me by the end… if there’s even an end. WARNING. This book contains smut, psychological decay, moral collapse, human intimacy twisted into survival, and a variety of horrors that do not wait for your permission before sinking into your mind. It will not hold your hand. It will not apologize. And it will not stop once you open it. If you continue, you’re choosing to step into a sequence of events designed to peel apart the comfortable assumptions you rely on to feel “safe.” Some of you will be fascinated. Some of you will be disturbed. Most of you will not remain the same. I’m not here to reassure you. I’m only here to tell you one thing: Whatever you think this is, whatever you think you know… you don’t. And once you begin, you can’t go back. — Welcome to the Games
