Coming Of Age

A thousand years ago, the world was consumed by an apocalyptic catastrophe. A thousand feet tall Sword came from above and setttled on earth. The earth itself twisted under the weight of its power, and from the fallout emerged monstrous creatures born from radiation and chaos it brought. In the centuries that followed, humanity clawed its way back from the brink of extinction. Massive fortress cities now stand as bastions of survival, shielding the remnants of mankind from the horrors that lurk beyond their walls. Over time, a new power system emerged — one that allowed humans to awaken unique abilities at the age of sixteen. Some gained bloodline powers, inheriting ancient strengths. Others awakened elemental affinities, commanding fire, water, or lightning as extensions of their will. But when Aren Hunter faced his awakening ceremony, he awakened… nothing. No bloodline. No element. Instead, something entirely different stirred within him — a mysterious interface that called itself the Creation System. “You can create any technique you desire — as long as you have the points to pay for it.” It also granted him the ability to cultivate any technique placed within its slots. Now, armed with this strange and limitless power, Aren must forge his own path. Will he rise to protect his family and defend humanity against the darkness — or fade away as another forgotten name lost to time? --- System Interface: [Host: Aren Hunter] [Tier: Non-Awakened] [Slot 1: Inactive (0/100)] [Slot 2: Locked] [Slot 3: Locked] [Slot 4: Locked] [Slot 5: Locked] [Points: 0]

In my former life, I was a female healer, unaware of the true extent of my powers. My abilities caught the attention of an S-rank guild, and I was recruited with promises of prestige and respect. But instead of the honour I was promised, I was met with betrayal and cruelty. They saw me not as a person but as a tool to be used and discarded. I endured unspeakable suffering—raped,abused, exploited, and left to die when they no longer had use for me. But fate granted me a second chance. [Ding!] For enduring so much suffering until death, you have awakened the Pleasure system. You will be reincarnated into a new body. Would you desire any changes? I was reincarnated as a boy, this time gifted with the power to manipulate time and a pleasure system. As my abilities awakened, so too did the memories of my past life. The pain, the humiliation, and the injustice—it all came flooding back. This time, I vowed, and things would be different. I would not be a victim again. I would rise above the cruelty of my past and claim the power and respect I was denied. Yet, revenge is not my sole purpose. I will become the strongest, the richest, and the most influential figure in this world. I will amass power not just for vengeance but to ensure that no one can ever take advantage of me. As I ascend to the pinnacle of strength and wealth, I will claim what was once denied to me: control, respect, money, and the loyalty of those who once sought to destroy me.

He will not settle with just being the King of the System but he wanted more! He wanted to become the creator of it! And to start he needs to spend more to become richer, but what if spending millions has become the hardest task ever? This is the story of Henley Austen and his newfound money system. Transferring from one foster home to another, Henley Austen was a survivor of an abusive home. He barely got to school. At a young age, he learned to live on his own, toiled, and worked hard to have something to eat. And what's even crueler is that Henley lived in a world where people of status like him are greatly despised ever since the proclamation of the Red Tape Letter which segregates the rich and poor. Like the usual commoner, it has been Henley's dream to settle in the Elite City for being able to live there was like becoming a new person. If he'll become a resident there, his girlfriend will get back to him, he'll earn people's respect, and he won't be bullied anymore, but unless he became rich, he'll forever be stuck in the mud. He's not giving up, he'll fight hell to make his way to the top. But how? One day he woke up having 100 million dollars in his bank which he needed to spend in just 3 days! He found out that the more he spends the richer he become. It was like he found a golden goose hatching limitless wealth! It was fun! It was thrilling, but where will this newfound system take him?

One moment, Alex Lopez was a brilliant 28-year-old urban planner and infrastructure specialist in Berlin, Germany a city renowned for its cutting-edge engineering, sustainable urban development, and layers of complex history spanning from the Holy Roman Empire to the modern European powerhouse. Buried under relentless projects blending historical preservation with futuristic city planning, he pushed himself to exhaustion. The next, he awakens in the frail body of Prince Alexander Valthor a forgotten son of the king, framed by his ruthless step-siblings and exiled to the barren wasteland of Valthoria. Sentenced to a slow death under the mocking order to “rule the state,” Alexander should have perished like so many before him. Dragged along with him is Annalise, his betrothed wife, who was completely abandoned by her own father after her mother died giving birth to her. But Alex came prepared with something this regressive Bronze Age world has never seen: a powerful World Saviour System, deep expertise in advanced infrastructure, resource optimization, historical regeneration, and large-scale project management, plus an unbreakable determination to build something extraordinary. Every victory earns points. Every failure raises the stakes. With milestones measured in hundreds of billions and trillions, Alex will ascend through multiple worlds, uncover the ancient truth behind the world’s long stagnation, and climb toward godhood itself. In a land where hope has long been forgotten, one exiled prince will rewrite destiny one irrigation canal, one loyal heart, one innovative breakthrough, and one hard-won discovery at a time.

In a universe which exists at an atemporal time, filled with infinite realms and dimensions. With an astral abyss comes the struggle for supremacy.    Races conquer the weaker species, lording over them like demigods, the quest for more resources turned the astral seas into a burial ground full with tales of wars.    In a universe filled with colossal beasts, monsters and mysteries, lies the foundation of the age in which Project Kied is based.    With the more powerful empires always thirsting and battling for more territories, they merge into leagues, orders and confederacies, to mutually channel their resources towards achieving their goals.    But a realm within the midst of this chaos suddenly disappeared as though it had never existed, its tides faded, taking along with it a race called the Nordens.    This set of lifeforms have had one basic characteristic with which they identified themselves, which is their State - Peace and Matter - Light.     Milleniums after, when their existence to the other realms had now become a myth, a child was born with a State and Matter that went against the status quo. By name Project Kied, he was confirmed to be of the State - War and Matter - Dark and Night.    Temporarily sent on exile after destroying his pillars of light, Kied finds his higher form - Equivax - while sailing the astral seas and he is trained by Equivax into becoming a cosmic pirate, who are the only form of resistance capable of challenging the feudal orders.    But Kied is fated to be more than a cosmic pirate, just as Norx Hade Zex had said, "... THE DARK CHILD OF WAR".     Will he be brave enough to pursue his destiny regardless of the trails and challenges ? Can he fearlessly grin at the death of day ? For in the beginning it was night.

In the Great Yan Empire, the Long Clan stood as the pillars of the north. Their young heir, Long Chen,was its brightest star—a genius born with the "Primordial Marrow"—a gift seen once in a thousand years. However, his brilliance planted a seed of envy in the heart of most elders. On his sixteenth birthday, the heavens turned red. His family was butchered by a coalition led by his father’s sworn brother, Wei Jue, who tore what he believed to be the Primordial marrow from Chen’s body and left him for dead in the Forbidden God-Grave Valley. Deep within the valley's lethal mists, Long Chen was rescued by Grandmaster Mo, a legendary figure who had ascended past the mortal realm centuries ago. Under Mo's training, Long Chen didn't just rebuild his broken body; he cultivated the "Chaotic Origin Scripture," a forbidden technique that allows him to devour the energy of his enemies and the “Heaven-Devouring Void Script” a relic from bygone age, capable of swallowing entire realms. A decade later, a mysterious youth enters the capital. He carries no banner and wears no crest, but his eyes hold the coldness of a thousand winters. The traitor now sits on the throne, believing the Long line is extinct forgetting that when you strike at a dragon and fail to kill it, it returns to burn your world to ashes. Long Chen begins his march, reclaiming the Long Clan's ancestral relics one by one. To the world, he is an unstoppable force of nature; to the traitors, he is a ghost from the grave who has come to collect a blood debt that can only be paid in full.

To the Dawson family, Ethan Cole is the ultimate disgrace—a broke, useless son-in-law whose only value is doing chores and staying out of sight. For three years, they humiliated him publicly and privately, never imagining he could fight back. But the night a mysterious stranger addresses Ethan as “Young Master”, everything changes. Because the man they mocked is no ordinary nobody. He is the missing heir of a hidden global empire. And now his enemies know he’s alive. Ethan Cole once belonged to the powerful Cole Dominion, a dynasty feared in business, politics, and the underground world. But after a brutal betrayal that nearly cost him his life, Ethan vanished. He walked away from unimaginable power, choosing instead to live a quiet life with Mia Dawson—the one woman who loved him without knowing who he truly was. To protect her, Ethan hid everything: his training, his wealth, his past, and the enemies hunting him. But after being exposed during the Dawson corporate gala, Ethan’s peaceful life collapses.

Lord Dryk and all his followers were defeated centuries ago. Or so the white mages believed until the reincarnation of his very own mistress, Ramona and her campaign to resurrect the dark lord. Yet darkness could return without the promise of a savior. Wayne a mage born without the gift was shipped off to stay with his uncle Alard and his daughter Calley, another abomination to the line of magic, while his father goes off with the other mages to find the savior and bring an end to the campaign of Ramona. But in the rarest of times, when no one expected, Wayne’s gift awakened, not in the manner which everyone thought it would be, and no one sensed it except Alard, yet that wasn’t all, Calley also awakened the gift like every other mage in history attracting the eyes of both good and evil, forging the prophecy to take a form no one saw coming and with it, the beginning of a long-avoided war. *** “I am tired of waiting for saviors, Fifteen years they have searched and found nothing. My father risks his life on a prophecy that may be empty. And we sit here like sheep, praying some child will appear to save us.” “In the old tales, it was not only mages who broke Dyrk’s host at the Battle of Broken Chains. It was the swords of men, thousands of them held the line while the archmages sang their spells. Common steel bought the world its freedom when magic faltered. If this Ramona comes again, let her face more than spells. Let her face men who will not wait for miracles.” Alard studied him for a long moment, something unreadable moving behind his eyes. “And what would you have, nephew?” “Train me,” Wayne said.

Kieran expected death but when he opened his eyes, he wasn’t greeted by a celestial herald or a mystic inheritance. He was greeted by the rotting stench of the Verdant Cloud Sect’s refuse pits thrown there after his Qi channels were shattered for daring to protect a fellow disciple. A cripple. Trash, discarded by the world of cultivation. As despair threatened to consume him, a cold, resonant voice echoed in his mind not from a heavenly treasure, but from the very spiritual garbage surrounding him. [System Initializing…] [Host Located: Zero-Star Aptitude. Mortal-Body. High Compatibility.] [Welcome to the Cosmic Scavenger Initiative. Processing Local ‘Waste’…] While geniuses plundered ancient tombs for legendary swords, Kieran’s system analyzed broken pill slag to reconstruct perfect Divine-grade elixirs. While young masters absorbed pure spirit stones, his system taught him to devour the corrosive resentment from cursed artifacts, turning poison into pure, terrifying power. His domain wasn’t a pristine meditation chamber it was the dump. And every piece of “trash” was a puzzle piece to ultimate strength. They laughed when he crawled out, covered in filth. They sneered when he dared to re-enter the outer sect as a janitor. But when a demonic beast core deemed too unstable and discarded by the Patriarch landed in the refuse heap, Kieran simply smiled. [Scanning… ‘Catastrophic-Level Waste’ detected. Beginning Assimilation.] Now, the sect that discarded him trembles. The geniuses who mocked him are baffled. For the man they left in the trash is sifting through the bones of fallen gods and the wreckage of dead realms and his cultivation path is built on everything they were too arrogant to see. This is the rise of an underdog no one saw coming, A cultivator who will forge a throne from the universe's waste.
