Level Up

In the global calendar year 2087, the world did not collapse... it calcified. Society is split between the towering skyscrapers of the wealthy and the filthy slums where honest labor barely buys life. For Ray Anne, this system is a cruel trap: his fierce morality prevents him from acquiring the huge sums needed to save his ailing mother, and his only hope lies in the virtual realm known as the Second Reality. His escape arrives through a debt: acquiring a state-of-the-art Link Gear from the city's powerful Governor in exchange for nearly 13 million Credits and a looming employment contract. With his mother's fate hanging on a one-year deadline, Ray Anne dives into Nexgenesis, only to be immediately thrown into a geopolitical nightmare disguised as a tutorial: [Resolve the conflict between two species]. To survive and succeed, Rayanne weaves between ruthless action—such as calculatingly incinerating the newborns of the Blockheads to earn skills and strategic alliance, befriending the outcasts and the like. He must leverage his intellect to control the war between the grotesque world and the simple-minded Brickheads, a conflict he accidentally escalates into chaos. Follow Ray's urgent race against the clock as he leverages the virtual world's economy and its fantastical politics to conquer a debt that is almost his life's worth, striving to pay for his freedom and secure his mother’s salvation.

To the world, Salim Bakar was the "worthless" son of the elite Bakar real estate dynasty. While his brothers closed multi-million dollar deals, Salim spent his time on his phone, managing obscure influencers in the "frivolous" world of TikTok. The tension boils over at the Bakar Group’s 50th Anniversary Gala. In front of the city’s elite, Salim is publicly betrayed by his own father. "A Bakar is a lion of industry, not a lapdog for internet clowns," his father bellows. Disowned, stripped of his inheritance, and cast out into the rain, Salim is left with nothing but his smartphone. But the Bakars made a fatal mistake: they confused "quiet" with "weak." They didn't know Salim’s hidden identity. He is the "Ghost Manager," a digital genius who controls the world’s largest viral talent agency. With his Cold Protagonist mindset, Salim decides it’s time for a lesson in business. Using his God-Tier Manager System, he begins to manipulate the trends that the Bakar Group relies on for their "modern" rebranding. As Salim builds a new-media empire that dwarfs his family’s dying industry, the Bakars find themselves losing millions. Desperate, they seek a meeting with the mysterious "King of Influence" to save their company. The face-slapping begins when the boardroom doors open, and the "disgrace" they spat on is the one holding their debt. Salim isn't back for a reunion; he’s back for revenge.

In the Azure Sky Continent, true power lies not in personal cultivation, but in the spirit beasts one commands. A tamer without beasts is worthless—mocked, forgotten, and powerless. Jiang Chen, a wandering Foundation Establishment cultivator with zero contracted beasts, is branded the ultimate trash. No one suspects the impossible truth: he is the reincarnation of the Primordial Beast Sovereign, the legendary emperor who once ruled the continent with ten Celestial Divine Beasts at his side. Betrayed and slain a thousand years ago by the jealous Shadow Alliance, his soul has returned—awakened by the mysterious Primordial Beast Sanctuary System. All Jiang Chen desires is a quiet, low-profile life. The system, however, has grander plans: establish a sect, recruit disciples, contract legendary beasts, and reclaim the throne he lost. Reluctantly, he founds the tiny Heavenly Beast Peak Sect in the remote Misty Jade Mountains, accepting only the “talentless trash” discarded by greater powers. Yet miracles follow his every step. The blacksmith’s son awakens a Thunder Wing Eagle. The herbalist’s daughter bonds with a healing Jade Leaf Deer. A disgraced noble commands a primordial Blazing Mane Lion. A merchant’s daughter freezes battlefields with her Frost Wing Butterfly. His enigmatic senior disciple, the breathtaking Qing Yao, hides an even greater secret—she is his loyal Azure Dragon from his past life, now in human form and fiercely determined to stand as his wife. As the unknown sect rises impossibly fast, dominating tournaments and revolutionizing beast taming with forbidden techniques—beasts powering automated forges, farms, and defenses—Jiang Chen’s peaceful dreams shatter. Old enemies awaken. The Shadow Alliance hunts once more. And the continent itself begins to tremble. The forgotten sovereign has returned—and this time, he will not fall alone.
