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.

I am Alsean Zeffran. That day, the doctor informed me that my heart had only six months left. Before I could even digest that bitter reality, the world crushed me further. I was detained at the hospital because I had no money, brutally dumped by Laura, the woman I loved, and then fired without pay by the project foreman under a heavy New York downpour. Penniless, hopeless, and carrying a body that grew weaker by the minute, I found a mysterious old man dying in a street gutter. At my lowest point, I still chose to extend a helping hand. I cared for him until he drew his last breath. In return, he left me a dull black ring. As I lamented my fate and slipped the cold ring onto my ring finger, a ghostly voice suddenly echoed inside my head: "Welcome, Heir to the Ring of Prosperity." Now, held in my hand is a mysterious power bringing boundless wealth. Will I be able to rise, turn my fate around, and silence those who once looked down on me, or does this ring hide a dark secret that demands a price far higher than my own life?

Now in an unknown world and with very few memories. Our protagonist will venture forth to find himself. The time it will take, what will occur, and even how will he be changed are all questions that run behind every tale. But interestingly, other tales run in parallel with him.

​Thousands of years ago, the Dragon Sovereign sacrificed his life to seal away an apocalyptic threat. Today, that very threat sits on a throne of lies, worshipped by humanity as a god named Dominic Kane. ​The true sovereign has returned, but not as a mighty dragon. He has awakened in the frail and sickly human body of Luca Romano, a lowly archivist at an elite magic academy. This academy does not teach magic to save the world. It trains ruthless inquisitors like Kaelen Draven to hunt down and slaughter the last remaining dragon descendants. ​Luca must keep his head down among the dusty scrolls. His new human vessel is too weak to hold even a fraction of his true draconic aura, and a single burst of his old power would tear his flesh apart. Hiding, however, is a luxury he cannot afford for long. ​With the help of a brilliant outcast scholar named Amelia Hart, Luca begins secretly forging a new dragon core right under the watchful eyes of his enemies. He must decipher the twisted history Dominic Kane wrote and locate his loyal ancient general, Elias Thorne, who just might still walk the earth in secret. ​The weak archivist is about to remind the world of the terror of the true Dragon Sovereign. They stole his empire. He is going to burn theirs to the ground.

"Stop digging up your father's past, Theo! You'll only die a poor courier!" Theo ignored his mother's cries. He'd had enough of being insulted by everyone, considered a stranger by Agatha—his former lover now engaged to her wealthy ex—and crushed by Valen's criminal faction. When his body was broken and he could no longer fight with his brawn, Theo chose to use his brain. Through an Anonymous Scholarship, Theo entered Armagenda University, the most elite campus in Monia. While everyone thought he was just a lucky street kid, Theo used his campus access privileges to track the flow of funds of enemies trying to seize and control Theo's father's company inheritance. Assisted by Allia, a secret ally in the cyber data center, Theo began dissecting the city's legal system to cut through the lifeblood of his rivals' businesses. Theo had thrown away his naivety as a good person. He no longer cared about romantic drama or caste slurs. His focus is only one: to reclaim his father's legacy, overthrow the Head of the Security Authority, and ascend to his own throne as the shadow ruler who silently controls the law and the underworld of Monia.

"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.
