Legendary Guardian

Arthur Vance was a titan of modern industry—a ruthless corporate strategist who mastered the art of the hostile takeover. But when a betrayal ends his life in the 21st century, he wakes up in the body of Julian Valerius, the disgraced, "waste" illegitimate son of a dying Emperor. ​In a world governed by ancient steel and noble bloodlines, Julian is a man with a target on his back. His six half-brothers, each a powerful warlord or cunning politician, have already signed his death warrant to secure their path to the throne. He has no army, no wealth, and a reputation as a drunken fool. ​But he has a mind the medieval world isn't prepared for. ​Using his knowledge of modern economics, chemical engineering, and psychological warfare, Julian begins his ascent from the mud of the slums. ​He turns sour grain into Liquid Gold, a distilled spirit that corrupts the empire’s elite and funds his private shadow army. ​He recruits Elena Vance, a legendary but betrayed General, turning her into the sword that will carve his path to glory. ​He builds a network of "Rats"—the beggars and outcasts—creating the first global intelligence agency in history. ​As the Empire spirals into a bloody civil war, Julian doesn't just fight for survival; he executes a takeover. From the smoke of the slums to the gold of the high court, the "Waste Prince" will prove that in the face of modern logic, even the strongest crown is nothing more than gilded lead. ​Witness the birth of an Empire where gold speaks louder than swords, and a bastard's shadow looms over the world.

He was born a traitor’s son. The academy branded him a failure. But an ancient king’s soul calls him Master. Seventeen year old Kael Ashford arrives at the prestigious Dragonspire Academy with nothing but a patched tunic and the heavy burden of his family's disgraced name. Branded as the son of the kingdom’s ultimate traitor, he expects to be rejected during the public Bonding Ceremony. He expects to return to his starving border village in shame. He does not expect a legendary, midnight-scaled black dragon,a beast thought to be dead for centuries,to crash through the glass dome, bow in absolute submission, and call him "Your Majesty." Before Kael can claim his destiny, a cloaked assassin slits the dragon's throat, and a forbidden royal crest burns itself permanently into Kael's chest. Sentenced to the damp, rotten Discard Dorms with the academy’s lowest failures, Kael quickly realizes the dragon isn’t completely gone,its powerful consciousness is alive inside his mind, acting as a secret mentor. To survive the murderous gaze of Headmaster Vance and the cold, vengeful blade of the brilliant Lyra Voss, Kael must fake his weakness while secretly siphoning forbidden magic. But as he uses a stolen silver key to unlock the ancient, hidden ruins built directly beneath the school, he uncovers a dark laboratory that shatters the history of the kingdom. Deep within the academy's forbidden underbelly stands a cage of pure magical energy. And resting inside it, is a boy who shares his exact face,a perfect duplicate whose pitch-black eyes are wide awake, whispering a dark warning that will change everything.

Synopsis Eryx Vale was never meant to live. Reborn into a cultivation world as a minor villain, Eryx awakens with the knowledge of his own fate: he is destined to be publicly executed before the day ends, his death nothing more than a stepping stone for the story’s true protagonist. Escape is impossible. Begging is useless. Every path he remembers leads to the same ending—death. Just as fate closes in, a cold voice echoes in his mind. Villain Survival System activated. Unlike legendary cheat systems, Eryx’s System offers no free power and no mercy. Its rule is absolute: he can only grow stronger by surviving events where he is fated to die. Avoid destiny the wrong way, and the System itself will punish him. With execution looming, Eryx makes a choice no version of him ever made before—he refuses to follow the script. From the outer sect’s execution grounds to the inner realms ruled by monsters, cultivators, and hidden laws of destiny, Eryx begins tearing through a world that insists on his death. Each defied fate grants him dangerous rewards, each survival twists the future further out of control. But the more fate he breaks, the more the world pushes back. He is hunted by protagonists blessed by heaven, targeted by higher beings who despise anomalies, and watched by a System whose rewards grow more lethal with every success. To live, Eryx must become something worse than a villain. He must become the man fate itself cannot kill.

In a world that demands perfection, only the broken can cut through fate. On the eve of his historic ascension, Li Xuan was the undisputed crown jewel of the Azure Sky Sect. A peerless genius destined to rule the firmament. But supreme talent breeds venomous jealousy. Hours before he could condense his legendary Pristine Jade Core, he was brutally drugged and betrayed. His sworn brother wielded the blade, his beautiful fiancé orchestrated the trap, and together, they systematically smashed his jade dantian into ten thousand glittering, useless pieces. Stabbed through his spiritual foundation, stripped of his core, and left to die in the bone-chilling mud of the Abyssal Wasteland, Li Xuan was labeled a "cripple." A broken mirror forever unfit for the Dao. But his enemies made one fatal mistake: they left the shards inside his soul. Driven by an absolute, terrifying will for vengeance, Li Xuan refuses to heal. Instead, he does the unthinkable he awakens the jagged, razor-sharp fragments floating in his ruined body. Where others see absolute destruction, Li Xuan forges a forbidden new path: Fractured Ascension. A perfect mirror can only reflect the world, but a shattered mirror cuts it to pieces. Each jagged fragment of his broken soul becomes a lethal weapon hungry to devour heaven’s Qi, twist natural laws, and reflect every past humiliation back tenfold. Armed with a hurricane of broken glass tearing through his veins and an unbreakable will, the boy they discarded rises from the pits. No mercy. No negotiation. Those who broke his foundation to keep him on his knees will watch him ascend using the very shards they left in the dirt. “You thought you destroyed my future? You merely unleashed my edge.”

In our era, where science and technology dominate, magic and the like are always dismissed as myths and legends, elements of folklore. However, a boy named Tom crops up from the rural areas of Detroit. Tom, was a lover of books, a science freak, and an ardent admirer of magic. During his high school days, Tom found a book from one of the world’s most secret occult groups; The Order of the Chalice. This book led him to an unprecedented adventure into the depths of the most hidden places in the world. Meanwhile, Tom’s unrequited lover, Heidi, was worried about Tom and insisted on pursuing him. Tom left home after hijacking his father’s pension funds in search of the Stone of Heka which the occult book told him of. Heidi, on the other hand, cut a frustrated figure as Tom eluded her. Sometime in the future, decades after he left his family, Tom resurfaced. But now, as the ‘vulle guze cha’; the magic Overlord of the Order of the Chalice. Many catastrophic events heralded his ascension and emergence. This caused the States, politicians, and the Order of the Chalice surviving members to become alert. The state thought that a major terrorist group had attacked, while politicians confused, concocted many conspiracy theories in pursuit of the culprit. However, the Order of the Chalice was frenziedly preparing for the homecoming and true ascension of the legendary ‘vulle guze cha’ who will lead them to the limelight, and bring back the golden era of magic. Heidi, who was done with her college education, has been in pursuit of Tom and is the only one who knows his whereabouts. Tom, however, seeks supremacy. He wants to rule the world. An inevitable war will ensue but only Heidi can save the day.

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.

A thousand years ago, Roan was the most feared warlord in history. Undefeated in battle. Worshipped by armies. Betrayed and poisoned by his most trusted general at the height of his glory. His last breath carried one vow. I will return. He kept it. Reborn into the body of a broke, humiliated twenty year old, Roan wakes up with nothing. No home, no money, no allies — thrown onto the street like garbage by the cruel family who used him as a pawn for twenty years. At his absolute lowest, bleeding in the rain, an ancient War System activates inside him. Current rating: F. Pathetic. He almost laughed. Because the people who destroyed him had no idea what they just woke up. And the dormant king doesn’t fight with rage — he plans with ice cold precision. Every enemy catalogued. Every move calculated. Every humiliation remembered. Cole Crest threw him out. Victor Crest used him. The ancient entity that corrupted his most trusted general a thousand years ago has reincarnated and is already moving against him. They will all kneel before this is over. Rising from F rank toward the legendary S rank, reclaiming ancient power sealed since his death, uniting secret warrior clans that have waited a thousand years for his return, and protecting the one person who showed him kindness when the whole world looked away — Roan isn’t just fighting for revenge. He’s fighting to end a cycle that has lasted a millennium. The Dormant King is done sleeping. The final battle isn’t just for revenge. It’s for the soul of history itself.

Ren, a young man considered trash in his sect due to his inability to cultivate, lives in the shadows of ridicule and ostracization. However, he harbors a secret both terrifying and extraordinary: every time he nearly dies from a technique, his body strangely absorbs and copies that technique permanently, making it his own. From simple fire punches to lethal holy sword strikes, or even destruction by legendary domains, Ren rises again with the enemy's power now a part of him. This unique condition transforms his suffering into a source of infinite power, propelling him from a loser into an unrivaled entity in the world of cultivation. Ren's journey begins from the bottom, using his first "death" to master basic techniques he couldn't even learn before. With ingenuity and courage, he begins to strategically seek out greater "deaths," allowing himself to be struck by stronger and more dangerous techniques. Every "death" is a rebirth, every wound is a lesson, and every trauma is a power-up. His reputation as the "Copycat Immortal" begins to spread, though most only see him as a mysterious and terrifying cultivator, without understanding the true source of his power. He must face increasingly powerful enemies, from sect rivals to regional tyrants, and finally ancient forces that threaten the existence of the universe. As time passes, Ren not only accumulates a vast arsenal of countless techniques but also begins to understand the true nature of his condition. Is it a curse, a blessing, or a cosmic anomaly? His quest takes him beyond the boundaries of the mortal world, challenging Gods and Demons, and uncovering conspiracies hidden for thousands of years. With every "death" that brings him closer to total destruction, Ren instead moves closer to the peak of immortality
