Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read. Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly, I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redoing that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.

What greater curse is there, than to be born a mage with no powers? I guess there is none in Namrys where you are only defined by what are__ a hunter, a healer or a human. In this world plagued by vicious soul eaters; who suck the souls of humans for food, you are either a protector or the protected. But there is Sora, a mage with no powers. He has no place in this world and is bullied every single day of his already miserable life. However, one fateful day changed the course of Sora's life. At the brink of death after being injured by a soul eater, he is given a chance to return to life and save his best friend, but on the condition that he takes on the most dreaded task. He has to face the Creator. Now, how does a mage with no powers, come face to face with he who creates soul eaters? Sora agrees, but as he delves deeper into the mystery of the soul eaters, he discovers that his journey may have just begun and the truth behind his rebirth maybe more dreadful than he ever could have imagined. Will he rise to become the hero the world needs or will he fall to the curse of his own weakness?

Ba Bel was the leader of the Dark Sect, titled the Demon Emperor, who possessed an ancient book called the Nine Transformations of the Demon Book, a relic left by a previous Demon Emperor. Because news spread that Ba Bel possessed the unrivaled Nine Transformations of the Demon Book, Ba Bel was besieged by eight other Emperors. The purpose of the siege was to seize the Nine Transformations of the Demon Book. In the midst of the ongoing battle, Ba Bel was betrayed by a disciple whom he had saved and raised since childhood. Ba Bel was stabbed directly in the back by the disciple he had raised as his own son. Even in his final moments before death, he never imagined his beloved disciple would betray him for nothing more than the Nine Transformations of the Demon Book. Ba Bel died filled with regret and rage in his mind, until a miracle occurred; he returned to his childhood, to the moment he met a master from the White Sect. Can Ba Bel change his destiny now that he has a second chance at life? Can Ba Bel once again become the Demon Emperor in his second life?

In the darkest corners of Marseille, where hope sinks faster than a rusted anchor, an overdose should have been the end for Jean Valéry. But for this broken Navy veteran, death was only a doorway. He awoke with another soul burning within him—that of the Black Sea Alchemist, the failed guardian of Atlantis, whispering of ancient magic and the vengeance of the deep. Every corner of the Old Port is now his laboratory, every drop of polluted saltwater an ingredient for deadly potions and poisons. Fractured memories guide him, while a raw and dangerous alchemical power demands release. But Marseille is not only a haven for crime bosses. Deep within its murky waters, an ancient power has awakened, demanding accountability for the failures of his past reincarnations. To save the city, he must first seize it from the grip of the underworld. To atone for the sins of the past, he must become a monster in the present. This is not a story about the rise of a hero. This is a story of transmutation—how a broken man is melted down in the crucible of magic, malice, and destiny. The question isn't whether he will survive, but what he will become afterward: an unbeatable crime king, or a protector damned by the sea?

"Come on, waiter," Tom taunted, his voice dripping with contempt. "You should lick it up while it's still cool," he added with a sly chuckle as his friends eagerly removed their phones to capture August’s humiliation for their amusement. August was devastated, the money he had been saving for the past eight months barely amounted to $180. How would he muster $800 to spare himself from this humiliating ordeal? Stooping that low to lick the liquor on the floor was an option he rather succumbed to death sooner than consider.  "Please, give me until tomorrow. I'll find a way to borrow the money and pay you back," August pleaded, desperation creeping into his voice. But Tom was not having it with him. “No waiter, everything starts and end today. If you are going to pay me the money then is going to be today and right now, or I will have to force you to lick up the liquor”. August's devastation intensified as he realized the gravity of the situation, this was not optional like Tom presented it the first time. His intentions were clear; he did not at all cared about the money all he wanted was to have August lick the floor for their amusement.
