Opposite Attract

Jaka was just a simple village youth from the slopes of Mount Sumbing. Framed and stripped of his factory job, he was forced to return home and toil the fields alongside his father. His once-hopeful life slowly withered into quiet days on the farm, accompanied only by damp soil, sweat, and a lingering sense of betrayal. ​However, months later, an inexplicable premonition urged Jaka to ascend to the peak of Mount Sumbing. ​At the desolate summit, he encountered a mysterious figure claiming to be the mountain's guardian. From this fateful encounter, Jaka received a gift that would alter his destiny forever: the Eternal Dew Mantra, a mystical cultivation technique that grants the path to immortality and the power to conjure drops of spiritual water. ​This extraordinary water could accelerate plant growth a thousandfold and cure any ailment upon consumption. ​Starting from his family's humble plot of land, Jaka slowly forged a new path toward immense wealth, unrivaled power, and a life he had never dared to imagine. ​But monumental changes always attract formidable attention. ​A renowned business goddess, a gentle university student, an ice-cold doctor, and an A-list celebrity begin to gravitate toward him, each bringing their own hidden motives, deep secrets, and irresistible temptations. ​Once an underestimated, ordinary farmer, Jaka is about to prove that a grand destiny can bloom from a single drop of dew.

This is the Seven Deadly Cardinals - seven stories of seven different people, how they embody the heavenly cardinal in its goodness and then how they are dragged to become the opposite sin.

Not all is set in stone. The stories include a lady that falls for a serial killer, an actor and tailor, the flower shop owner and orphanage, a priest and gangster mob, an office worker and a stalker, landlords son and new tenant, youth centre worker and how things did not go as it should.

A thousand years ago, the Strongest Demon Emperor, Xar'thos, nearly plunged the cultivation world into eternal darkness, only to be defeated and sealed by an alliance of holy sects in a heroic sacrifice. Now, after a millennium has passed, the Demon Emperor is reborn as a poor youth named Aron in a remote village—without power, without memories, and without any remnants of his past glory. The world has forgotten him, and the holy sects have enjoyed a fragile peace, establishing their dominance without threat. However, fate has other plans. As Xar'thos's memories begin to return, an ancient entity known as the "Demon Empire System" activates within him. This system is more than just a guide; it is the key to rebuilding his shattered empire, granting him unique abilities to revive forbidden cultivation techniques, recruit loyal followers, and most crucially, attract powerful women with demonic potential to become his Demon Consorts—the pillars of his new strength and authority. Starting from zero, Aron—who is now slowly reverting to Xar'thos—begins a perilous journey to reclaim what is rightfully his. Xar'thos's journey takes him from a helpless youth to a rising ruler of darkness, rebuilding his army from the shadows. He gathers followers, forms unexpected alliances, and establishes a hidden base of demonic power. However, his rise does not go unnoticed. The holy sects that once sealed him begin to sense the echoes of a long-lost demonic aura. They send agents to investigate, sparking initial clashes that reveal weaknesses and ancient secrets among his old enemies.

Additional Tags: #Romance, #Evolution, #Antihero Power in Aethelgard does not come from prayer. It comes from Divine Marks, fragments of Authority carved into existence itself. A single Mark can lift a mortal beyond the limits of flesh. With enough Marks, a being may evolve into a Saint, a Demigod, an Angel, or even a True God. But every Divine Mark has a sequence, a stage, and a burden. Ilyan Morveth was killed for one. His heart was pierced in an abandoned ruin. His killer left him there, waiting for the Divine Mark inside his body to appear. It never did. Before the Mark could manifest, an ancient soul drifted into the corpse. Then the dead man opened his eyes. Now Ilyan wakes with a closed wound over his heart, broken memories that do not belong to him, and a power he does not understand. His first day alive only gets worse. A Beast attacks him in the ruin. A mysterious Divine Mark rises from its corpse. And when Ilyan reaches Blackstone, the city gate already has his name written in the death ledger. According to the records, Ilyan Morveth died before dawn. To survive, he must play the role of a dead man whose life he barely remembers while hiding the impossible power awakening inside him. Because Miracle is not luck. It is not fate. It is the quiet violation of reality itself. A falling stone at the right moment. A wound that should not heal. A question asked one breath too late. A coincidence too perfect to be coincidence. But miracles attract attention. Ilyan is not a chosen hero. He is a survivor wearing a stolen life. And if the world insists that Ilyan Morveth should have stayed dead, then his first miracle will be proving it wrong.

What happens when yesterday becomes the tomorrow we see today? So the favorite saying in Bel Haven goes. The breakthrough of Elixa was one that mankind has never seen. It was able to merge the past, present, and future and bring people back to life, for a second or third time, but not permanently. But in Damian's case, the opposite was in play. He had lost his parents and granny and his brother too. Their deaths were not his fault, but Damian had blamed himself all the days of his life. Some said it was because of his family heirloom, others believed that he was just unlucky. But the fact was that Damian was a Silverton. The Silverton was a rare species that is neither alive nor dead. They were the force that regulates the timeline and prevents the Darkeels from coming into the present. However, Claudius, a scientist who invented Elixa, having lost his daughter, wanted eternal life. But to achieve his goal, he needed three items. The tooth of a Darkeel, the blood of a Silverton, and the staff of Jethro. Damian wants to see his family again, but for that to happen, he must work with Claudius and also kill himself willingly.

I am just so weak right now but when the time is right, I will change the world. **** For sixteen years Rafael was haunted daily by this dream of being chained opposite a scary sculpture on the wall but yesterday a very pretty girl who was sure older than himself in real life visited him and the feeling of being with someone who could listen to him in that cold room for the first time made him feel better than living in a world where he was rejected and his views no longer matters.

When it became louder his heart began to beat now he could spend some more time with the beauty who visited him last night but his joy did not last long because instead of a slender looking lady with an endearing smile, a hoarse cough was heard and thereafter an evil looking plump man walked in. "For the first time I have met you awake." He laughed. "And it tracks since it will be rude if you are not informed before your are executed. Even though you are an anomaly your majesty, your mother was a queen so it is wise if you are atleast honored as a prince for the rest of your days!"

At this time Damien's phone vibrated rapidly. He took out from his pocket, this got him a snort from the lady opposite him. Looking at his phone, he saw a strange message. [Ding! System fully activated. Awarded welcome gifts, do you wish to receive it?] Damien could not help but frown as this was somewhat unusual. What welcome gift? He never applied for anything online. 'Hah! These mobile phones ads are really something.' Ding! The next moment the phone's screen flashed red, and the returned to normalcy a few seconds later. «Ding! Congratulations, you just received twenty thousand dollars.» «Ding! Congratulations, you just received ten thousand dollars.» «Ding! Congratulations, you just received ten thousand dollars.» Damien could not help but wonder; is this a program that keeps giving out fake awards? However at this time, a new message popped up, he received two text messages from his bank. "Wells Fargo Bank: Credit alert; twenty thousand dollars" "Wells Fargo Bank: Credit alert; ten thousand dollars" "Wells Fargo Bank: Credit alert; ten thousand dollars" Damien was startled. These three amounts turned out to be the exact amount this ads sent me.
