My Multiverse Trip

I, LONG ZHENTIAN......... was always called a jinx. After my adoptive parents died, the Azure Dragon Hall merely tolerated my presence until I awakened a peerless Indigo Spirit Root. Instead of earning their respect, my extraordinary talent rewarded me with a stab in the back by my own Senior Brother. Stripped of my cultivation foundation and thrown into the Forbidden Demon Ocean to rot, I learned that some waters do not consume the broken, but reforge them. Carrying the primordial weight of a forgotten universe within my me, I am finally returning to the surface world. The arrogant empires that built their glory upon my suffering will soon watch their supreme heavens fall.

“Please… don’t kill me!” My voice trembles as I stare at the two people standing in front of me, my own brother and my wife, the woman I love more than my life. “Why…?” I whisper, my throat dry. My brother smirks and she avoids looking at me, as if I mean nothing to her. That silence… it breaks me more than anything. I step back slowly, but my foot slips near the edge. Panic rises in my chest as I realize where I am the cliff behind me, the darkness waiting below. “No…” I murmur, but it’s too late. A sudden push and I fall. The wind roars in my ears as my body drops into the abyss. Fear grips me, but stronger than fear is the burning betrayal inside me. My eyes shut as darkness swallows everything. They think I die that night But I don’t, I survive and I change. Years pass, and Now I return to the same world but I am no longer that weak man. I am something else… something darker. The city fears my name. The underworld bows before me. Power runs through my veins. Money, influence, control everything is mine now. And I don’t return alone. With a mysterious princess, beautiful yet dangerous, her secrets as dark as my past. She understands me in ways no one ever could. This time, I don’t beg. This time, I don’t fall. Because I am no longer the man they betrayed… I am the nightmare that has returned for revenge.

My life was a lie. I was a corporate drone, a cog in the machine, living a life of quiet desperation. Then my "father" died, leaving me a single key and a final, cryptic message: "The truth is in the blood." That truth shattered my world. I am not a nobody. I am the last heir to the Obsidian Throne, a secret lineage that has secretly controlled the world's shadows for millennia, wielding a power my family called the "Dominion." But the throne is cursed and the legacy is a bloody one. My inheritance was stolen, my family was murdered, and the architect of my ruin is the man my parents trusted most. Now, I'm a ghost in a world of high-stakes conspiracy. I have the key—an ancient artifact that binds to my soul, granting me a fragment of my family's power—and a burning need for vengeance. To claim what is mine, I must tear down the secret empire built on my family's bones. I will fight, manipulate, and kill my way through the criminal underworld and the glittering halls of the ultra-rich. They think they killed the last of my bloodline. They are about to learn that you cannot kill a king. The reckoning is coming, and it will be paid in blood.

Born into the most prestigious clan of sword masters, I was destined to become a legend. My father believed I would be his prodigy, training me relentlessly to awaken my Hakana — the power that defines a true master. My family had high expectations. My friends believed I would be the next mighty warrior. But everything shattered when my father was betrayed — murdered by his closest friend, who stole the power meant to be mine. Stripped of my birthright, cast aside as a nobody, I must now claw my way back from nothing. I will challenge the strongest masters, slay the demons in my path, and reclaim the power that was stolen from me. But as blood stains my hands and the darkness creeps into my soul, I must ask myself: Will I rise as the hero I was born to be? Or will I fall... and become the Demon Slayer I was never meant to be?

Seven years ago, a dark giant shadow visited my house and killed my mother. It changed me, forever. Four years later, after the Mega Human experiment 2.0 went wrong, I became a mutant. I became.... "Shadow Man!" "The boy behind the shadow has been identified as..." "Jude Rutherford! Seventeen year old high school boy..." "Is he Shadow Man?" When the mutant who killed my mother appeared again to destroy me, I knew being Shadow Man was not just my hobby. It was my destiny. Now I must protect everyone I love. And I must find out why my mother died. Who was the dark shadow? And why did he come for her? I must find out all these while hiding my second identity.

Book 2 of the Dragon Lord Series. (Can be read as standalones, but better yet read the first book so you can have a better understanding of the book’s storyline) Everything was taken away from me, my wife, my son, the few people I care about were all stripped away from my grip. I lost them all. I lost everything, my world was turned upside down. Yet my enemies lived, they doubled and craved nothing more than my downfall, my permanent demise. However, I promise to rise once again and regain my strength, assert my dominion and make them all pay. I will take and have back everything that I have lost. My name is Avon Barksdale. They’re going to come back for me, to usurp my dominance, and to cease the existence of my loved ones. I don’t plan on just giving them a hard time, I intend to give them their hardest time. Because, I’m going to protect what is mine, and mop the ground with those that seek to harm them.

My peaceful short life had been quickly cut off by a band of bandits that had raided my village, killing my father and capturing my mother. The bandit leader took a fancy to me and decided to make me one of them because of my face, for reasons unknown to me, but this was only the start of my journey. The more I grew up the more I realized that I had no talent, I was as ordinary as I could be, with no inherited memories, no old masters to help me improve my talent, no legacies left behind, no locked bloodlines that would burst into activity when I was in danger. But I still had something that most people didn't have. A stubbornness that many wouldn't possess, the stubbornness and sense of danger that I got for life after I saw my father die in front of me. And with that, I shall predate upon those that are more talented than me. I shall walk forward and reach the apex of the world, not because I want to protect anyone, but because that's simply what I want to do! Regardless of the methods that I have to use or the people that I have to push out of my way!

I design adult toys for a living, but my own love life has been on hold for two years. Now my boss needs me to save our careers, a wealthy client takes a personal interest in me, and another is determined to end my lonely nights. Keeping business and pleasure separate is about to become my hardest job.

My life has been thrown into chaos by the catastrophe that had befallen the planet. I'm one of the "chosen ones" who have been granted extraordinary powers by the System and my mission is to fight monsters and complete perilous tasks in order to save humanity! But then, A prophecy confronted me, warning that I would bring about the end of humanity. "What a joke!" I said in disbelief. "I'm not going to let that prophecy dictate my life!" I strived to become the most powerful person and prove that my destiny was in my own hands! I wanted to have whatever my heart desired, from power and fame to wealth and even women. You need to follow my journey and witness how an ordinary person like me can become the strongest person, one who will shape the destiny of the world!

"You are nothing without this city, and this city is done with you." My uncle's voice cut through the rain as his men threw me onto the deck of a boat headed nowhere good. I was eighteen, cut out of my father's will, and left to freeze on the harbor while men like Marcus carved up everything my family had built. Aethelgard Bay used to feel like home. Now the Iron Syndicate owns the night, and nobody with a badge or a business card does anything to stop them. The night they came for our fishing fleet, I thought that was the end of it. Then three strangers in armor dropped out of the storm and tore the raid apart before it could finish us. Their leader put something in my hand before he vanished: a keycard to a vault my father built and never told me about. It's supposed to be the key to taking my city back. So far all it's done is put a target on my back and put me in a car with the one woman in Marcus's empire I can't decide whether to trust. I'm done running from my uncle. Whatever it costs, I'm getting my family's name back.
