Body Tempering

Truth is a privilege of the gods--not a right. Caelion Vireth was a Spellbreaker of the divine, who would open deadly curses and bring the will of the gods. When his head started splitting up and his body broke down, the gods referred to it as a flaw. It was a disgrace, said his father. Betrayed and executed by the one he trusted most, Caelion should have died. Rather, he finds himself in the body of Vaelthar Noctryn- the tabooed God of Deceit, who is lord of the underworld. Caelion hides under a curse that ties him to the shadows, and masquerades as a young messenger back to the court of the gods. However, his lie has its price--once the moonlight touches him his secret will be known, and this time he will be dead forever. In his quest to unravel the truth about his execution, Caelion starts to unravel the truth as he travels through the gods who condemned him. He finds out something much worse than betrayal. He was never meant to die. He was to climb up. And the one who commissioned his death was never his father. Caelion, with the truth hidden in the lies and the court working against him, embarks on the quest to reveal the gods, at all cost. But in a world where one builds on falsehoods, even justice is punishable. In order to possess the truth, he must perhaps turn into the thing they were so afraid of.

Three strangers. One river. And a death that was supposed to be the end. After losing his job and his reason to live, Logan Hayes decides to end everything by jumping into the river locals call the river of death. But strangely... he survives, waking up in a body that no longer feels the same. He can move objects without touching them. The wounds on his body heal on their own. Even death itself fails to take him. And luckily... Logan isn’t the only one. There’s Reyn Walker, a man with deadly electrical powers capable of shutting down an entire city’s system with nothing but the touch of his fingers. And there’s Alexa Monroe, a mysterious girl who can hear hidden frequencies—heartbeats, lies, even the sound of bullets from miles away. When their abilities are discovered by a powerful mafia boss, they’re offered a job with an unbelievable payout: carrying out secret missions to expose corruption among the country’s elites and reclaim dirty money hidden behind power and influence. But the deeper they get into the game, the more they realize... they aren’t the only monsters born from that river. And now, someone lurking in the shadows has started hunting them down one by one. Will Logan, Reyn, and Alexa succeed in their mission—and make it out alive?

Aiden Draven was executed for a crime he didn't commit, kneeling before a crowd that once called him neighbor, watching the executioner's axe fall under the seal of gods who never once looked down to check if the charge was true. He should have died there. Instead, an ancient System older than the Concord itself tore open inside his soul at the moment of his death and bound itself to him with a single command: become strong enough to rewrite your fate. He wakes in a body the temple registry already marked deceased, with power the gods never intended a mortal to hold. No name, no status, no sect behind him, just a System that hands him missions, a body that shouldn't be breathing, and a slow, growing certainty that his execution wasn't a mistake. It was a cover-up. To survive, the man who was supposed to be nothing more than a closed case must learn to move unseen through a world where every temple, every enforcer, and every informant answers to the gods he's beginning to suspect framed him. But power like this doesn't stay hidden for long. When the Concord's local enforcer, Inquisitor Halden, is sent to quietly finish what the execution started, Aiden realizes the gods haven't forgotten him. They're starting to be afraid of him.

I was a disgrace to the Prestwick family—a poor, unwanted son-in-law they wished their daughter had never married. She had chosen me for my looks, but now, even that wasn’t enough. She wanted out. A divorce. To erase me from her life and marry into wealth like her family had always intended. But I loved her. Despite the insults, the humiliation, the way they treated me like dirt beneath their feet—I refused to let go. That was my biggest mistake. Frustrated by my defiance, my brother-in-law took matters into his own hands. He killed me, tossing my body into a cold, dark river, leaving me to sink into oblivion. I should have died. I did die. But before I took my final breath, a man appeared before me, cloaked in shadow, his voice like a whisper from the abyss. "What is your last wish?" I should have begged for revenge. I should have cursed their names. But all I wanted was one more chance. One more chance to live. And so, I was granted life again. But I was no longer the same. My soul was no longer my own. My body was no longer mine to control. Because I had been reborn as something far more powerful. I was no longer John Prestwick. I was the Devil himself.

He was already the greatest. In his former world, Dorian Ash climbed a mountain at twelve, descended at eighteen, and spent a lifetime defeating every warrior who dared stand before him. No master. No equal. No ceiling left to break. Then fate moved him somewhere new. A world where power is everything. Where cultivation decides your worth, your status, your right to breathe. Where the strong grind the weak into the dirt without a second thought. He wakes up in the body of a failure. A laughingstock. A lovesick fool who wasted three years chasing a girl instead of chasing greatness — and died with nothing to show for it. But the soul now wearing that broken body? He has never lost. Not once. Not ever. Armed with the mysterious Void Absorption System and a martial technique so ancient the world itself tried to erase it, Dorian begins his climb. Not for revenge. Not for recognition. Not for anyone. Only for one reason. The pinnacle of this world exists somewhere above the clouds — and he intends to stand on it. Every academy. Every kingdom. Every realm. Every so-called immortal who believes their ceiling is the absolute limit of what a human being can become. He is coming for all of it. The void does not ask for permission. It simply absorbs everything in its path.
