I Became The Ugly Lady

In the infinite universe, countless worlds and planets exist. Strength is law, and weakness is a sin. Betrayal is the norm, and pride is nothing more than a worthless currency to be traded. Empires, kingdoms, and factions constantly vie for control, while an endless war rages between the three strongest powers. Yet even darker, more scheming forces linger in the shadows, waiting for their chance. Ethan was only a newborn when he became the victim of a conspiracy against his family—one that left him stranded in a world where he does not belong, forced to grow up in a village where people simply wait for the day they die. Unaware of his true origins, he vows to seek freedom and uncover the truth of who he really is. This is my first ever work, and I hope it catches your attention! Just a heads-up—the story will be a bit slow-paced at first, since I want to carefully explore Ethan’s life in detail.

Many planets exist in the universe, and each one had strong individuals of various races, some of these strong individuals rose above the masses and became a god. However above all gods was the mysterious Creater, no one knew if he was like the other gods but much stronger, or if he was there for the creation of the universe. Perhaps he created it himself but despite the many theories, nobody knew for sure. However everyone knew of his strength and wisdom And it was because of his strength that the realm was mostly peaceful. Creator: “Everyone, I’m bored. I’m ready to face the next thing in life! But if I leave, chaos will reign due to your petty power struggles, therefore I will create a challenge called the tower. You must either give up your power completely or challenge the tower having your memories wiped and your strength reset. The one to reach the very top will gain my strength, good luck young ones.” And so a race began! Although everyone immediately forgot what he said when they entered the tower… but who knows, maybe they can gain back some memory and learn why they are there? Why did they decide to join the tower?

Warren made to speak but just then the MC got the stage, officially welcoming everyone to the gala. Just then Lady Williams joins them. Surprised couldn't describe what she felt seeing Warren at the gala. “What's he doing here?” She asked. “We’re just as shocked as you are grandma,” Troy said. “Don't stand close to us. I don’t want anyone thinking we are actually associated with a commoner like you,” Laurel said. Soon they were interrupted by the loud voice from the speaker. “...Please welcome on stage, the host of tonight's gala and newly appointed CEO of Sterling Heights, Warren Easton.” Loud cheers and applauses erupted immediately. Warren made his way to the front and stood until the noise died down. His eyes squarely on the Williams family. He watched as their faces switched from the looks of confusion to realisation to that of surprise. He had them where he wanted them. Bingo.

Su Jin is the third and youngest son of a City Lord. When his brother was born, dragon roars resounded in the sky and when his sister was born, the entire city quaked and was almost buried but when he was born, nothing happened. He was born without a Spirit Root, Meridians and no Acupoints. Someone coveting his wife tried to kill him by drowning him in a huge barrel filled with all kinds of wines but as if it was a blessing in disguise, he became a cultivator. He now has the Drunken Scripture. "I don't just want to be the only drunken, let the city, the country, the continent, the world, the heavens be drunk with me!"

No one understood what the old master was thinking when he said Richard Gray should marry his granddaughter, Linda. Richard Gray was an orphan and a nobody, so why? But the old master had insisted and so Richard became the disgraced son-in-law of the Wayne family. His wife and in-laws despised and ridiculed him. Things start to get interesting when Richard receives a strange phone call asking him to come claim his inheritance. "Me? But I'm an orphan? How?" What is Richard Gray's true identity? And what will he do with such a huge amount of money? Take revenge on those who had made his life a living hell, perhaps?

The war in the Eastern Land dragged on far longer than anyone expected. It left behind nothing but desperate orphans. But one child was different. Driven by vengeance, he slaughtered over a hundred invading soldiers with his bare hands. Fifteen years later, he became a god of war hidden in plain sight. No one knew who he truly was. To the world, he was nothing more than a loyal stay-at-home husband—until the day his wife betrayed him for another man. "So, money and power were all you ever wanted?" he asked. "If you had told me from the start, I could have given you more than he ever could. I am King Fox, the legendary God of War!" SLAP! His wife struck him across the face before the crowd. "You’re nothing but a cheap mercenary. I wish you had died in the trenches!" That divorce forced him out of hiding. Now, he will take his revenge to the bitter root and build an unmatched military dynasty.

‘What will you do if the world ends tomorrow?’ Seth Holden was fed up with that question. ‘I’ll die,’ he used to joke. After all, what could a mere broken home, college student with no future like him could do if faced with the apocalypse? It became reality in a matter of hours. After the first wave invasion hit, the world was filled with dead people hungered for the living ones. Seth should be dead, too, if not for . . . Dong! [Congratulations!] [You are among one hundred lucky people to have receive a System!] [Free only for seven days.] Now, Seth was amongst one hundred people who became Systemist in this infected world. He grew stronger and had a higher survival rate. However, to survive meant he would still be alive when the second wave invasion started. He knew nothing about it, except people could crack and spontaneously exploded. Seth was sure he could tackle it when the time came by levelling up. But, raising a six-year-old while running away from blood-thirsty Systemist hunters in this not-pocalypse? Well, Seth was bound to fuck something up badly. Probably himself. Oh shit. What’s the price of the System’s lifetime subscription again?

In 2030, a giant wormhole appeared above the Pacific Ocean. Scientists believed that it was a portal leading to another world besides earth. The United Nations decided to send a drone to investigate this phenomenon, but one hour after the drone entered, disaster struck. The wormhole suddenly became twice as large followed by a yellow gas pouring out. Two brothers, Lee Young-soo and Lee Min-su watched from a Television store, as their mother died while reporting the incident for South Korea's International News Station. ******** With the camera on her, she raised the mic to her lips and started speaking. “Young-soo, if you're watching this with Min-su, I want you to cover his eyes. Don’t let him see this.” Young-soo who was by his brother’s side raised his left hand and covered his eyes. “No!” Min-su protested and tried to remove his brother’s hand, but it stayed firm over his eyes. Young-soo was watching his mother on the television screen with slightly red eyes, as he bit his bottom lip so hard a few droplets of blood fell to the ground. “I want the both of you to know that I love you with all my heart and that I’m sorry I won’t be able to see the two of you go off to college and get married someday.” Tears started to fall from her eyes as she spoke her next words. “Young-soo, I want you to protect Min-su when I’m gone, and... Crash!!” With a violent jerk, the yellow gas engulfed the helicopter causing the cameraman to drop the camera, cutting off the transmission.
