Snow Sword Stride

I died in the snow outside her dorm. She learned my name too late. Then she died beside me Then I woke up seven days before the sky turned gray with every memory of how the world ends. Everyone on this campus wears a rank on their wrist. Gold gets a warm bunker. Gray gets scraps. I have nothing. No tag. No family. No name on any list. That's exactly why no one is watching me. I know what's coming. I know who leaves her behind. I know which doors lock and which ones don't. What I don't know is how to speak to the girl I've loved since before this life began. So I do it quietly. A warm coat left at her door. A shift covered. A meal already made. She reads my silence as coldness. She laughs at another man's jokes. And the people who ruined her the first time? They remember too. They woke up just like me and this time they're coming for her before I can reach her. Seven days. Then the sun goes out. Everyone had a title except me. Maybe that's the only reason I'm still alive.

I woke up to find myself a weakling vampire with only 10 health points, and the Holy Light Knight Order was right outside to purify me! In my despair, the 【Proficiency System】activated—so long as I live, everything is grindable! To survive, I did anything! While other vampires were hunting maidens, I was slaughtering a hundred thousand rats in the sewer, my 【Bite】skill maxed out, awakening the talent 【Life Drain】! Holy Light burns painfully? I treated myself like the Monkey King's flesh and braved the Holy Light, my 【Holy Light Resistance】maxed out, awakening the talent 【Holy Light Affinity MAX】, and directly took a Holy Light bath in the church! They thought I was an elegant noble, but what I was actually thinking was, "This sword strike will probably only take 0.001% of my health—too risky, I must kill him instantly!" They called me the "Nighttime Scourge" because I targeted only the most heinous scoundrels, after all, the proficiency points from "Sinful Blood" were simply too generous! Years later, the Abyssal Demon God descended, and the gods fell. In the despair of the entire world, I brushed off the dust from my tailcoat and looked at my blood bar that had grown to an uncountable length. "You... can break my defense?"

Ye Fan has spent his entire life believing he was born trash. A lowly outer disciple of the Profound Sword Sect with broken spiritual roots, constantly bullied and mocked by fellow disciples and elders. His only light was his fiancée, Liu Ruyan, and his mother's cracked jade pendant. But fate has other plans. On the day Ruyan publicly breaks their engagement to marry his tormentor Liu Hao, Liu Hao crushes Ye Fan's jade under his boot. The jade shatters — and bleeds golden light. Inside lies the Heaven-Swallowing Scripture left by an Immortal Emperor who was also betrayed by his own disciple 10,000 years ago. It reforges his broken roots into a peerless heavenly root. Since then, he rises from the bottom. He crushes geniuses, seizes heavenly treasures, subdues prehistoric monsters, and uncovers a horrifying truth: His roots were not broken. They were stolen. His family was not killed by beasts. They were massacred by the grandfather figure who raised him, on the order of the Sect Master himself. He breaks through realms step by step, establishes his own sect on his family's ruins, defies the Heavenly Dao, and finally becomes an unparalleled Immortal Emperor. But his golden finger wants his soul, and his little sister's blood, as payment.

He wasn't supposed to remember what it felt like to die. Three centuries ago, Prince Kael Draven was cast as the monster responsible for the Great Demon War. Betrayed by his own father and executed as a public warning, his existence was systematically scrubbed from every history book that mattered. The world knows his name, but they’ve gotten everything wrong. Now he’s back. He’s sixteen, stripped of his power, and attending Eclipse Academy under the identity of a dead boy with a stranger's face. He isn't looking for a throne, and he isn't even looking for revenge, at least not yet. He just wants to understand why the world needed him to be the villain. But the world hasn't forgotten him, even if he can't prove who he is. A sealed sword vibrates with recognition when he passes. A demon exchange student turns pale the moment they lock eyes. And a professor who once investigated his "death" is starting to ask questions that could get them both killed. The lie that ended the war is the same lie that supports everything built in its wake. And the boy they buried is the only person alive who can tear it all down. He isn't just trying to climb the ranks. He's digging up a grave the entire world is standing on.

Kaizer Jin, on day 11,024 of surviving in the crazed frozen world looked at his final seconds as he was being devoured alive by an evolved creature called Silver Ice Dragon, he was nothing but a weak person but he managed to survive till this day attaching himself to a group of kind people. Yet, at this day, they were all killed. He had witnessed many people die before him, those who had protected him at the cost of their own lives, those who had loved him and given him their food. They were a group of outcasts who would not bend to the rules of the corrupted. How did all of it happened? It was nothing but a normal day, but suddenly, the world had gone cold, and it kept growing colder. It was so sudden when in the middle of summer, snow started pouring nonstop, till even ice dropped from the heavens. It was the start of how civilization halted, like the world frozen in time. After a year, people also evolved, trying to survive, and gaining powers they never knew were possible. Even monsters started to evolve, creating a new era, an era of the frozen world, its rebirth! He stared at his comrades lying on the ground. What was once a group of 450 people was now dead, being eaten by frozen dragons. As he closed his eyes, he heard something. [Frozen World Rebirthing in progress!] [System activated! Power gained!]

Jayden Hunter spent six years giving everything to his wife, Summer. When the sky turned red and the world froze, he spent three months collecting food to keep her alive. Then she stabbed him, took every supply he had, locked the door and left him to die on the frozen floor. She was running to a warm shelter and the man she had been secretly messaging. Jayden wakes up in his old apartment exactly one year before the apocalypse. His wife is alive, the fridge is humming, and his phone shows a date he already lived through once. This time he knows everything. He knows the day the sky turns red, which cities fall first, and which people will save thousands of lives. His late mother's jade pendant awakens and opens a hidden space inside him where time stands still and nothing spoils. Jayden quietly sells what he owns and fills that space with a year's worth of food, water, medicine and fuel. He builds a fortified base, gathers a team of people the world will soon need, and plans a divorce that will leave Summer with nothing. But the apocalypse is not a simple disaster. The timeline is shifting, monsters are waiting in the snow, and a hidden force behind the collapse is watching his every move. Jayden wasn't sent back to survive. He was sent back to rebuild the world, and to make the woman who betrayed him watch him do it.

Everyone thinks the God of War died 743 years ago. They couldn't be more wrong. He wasn't killed; he was erased. Ronan Ash has nothing to his name. No family to claim him, no rank to protect him, and zero divine affinity a crushing, humiliating void in a world where every other student at the Imperial War Academy radiates power. To everyone else, he’s a punchline: an orphan clutching a rusted sword with nothing but an F-rank future ahead of him. Then, the System wakes up. Welcome back, Host. You have been dead for 743 years. Suddenly, Ronan is haunted by memories he doesn't recognize, hunted by enemies he’s never encountered, and guided by a System that knows infinitely more about him than it’s willing to reveal. It speaks in riddles, hiding his skills and sealing away his true potential. But buried deep within its data is a ledger containing six names: the six beings who wiped a god from history to claim the world's thrones for themselves. They are still alive. They are still worshipped. And they are still watching. To find them, Ronan must climb from the absolute bottom of a world that has already forgotten his existence. To defeat them, he will have to evolve into something even the gods feared. And to survive, he’ll have to demand an answer to the one question the System refuses to touch: Why was the God of War erased, and what was he truly becoming?

In his first life, Ethan Vance was a dedicated logistics manager who sacrificed everything to keep his fiancée, Clara Sterling, and his best friend, Garrett Hayes, alive during the Great Freeze, a catastrophic climate collapse that plunged temperatures to -60 degrees. In return for his devotion, Clara and Garrett betrayed him. After Ethan spent months braving freezing blizzards to scavenge the last remaining rations, Clara and Garrett ambushed him, chopped his body for food, and tossed him into the snow to die. Dying in agony, Ethan swore an oath of vengeance. Then, he snaps awake. It is August 10, 2026, exactly 60 days before the Great Freeze hits civilization. The sun is shining, society is functioning normally, and his betrayers are still treating him like their personal piggy bank. Better yet, Ethan discovers he has unlocked a soul-bound Dimensional Vault System, an infinite storage space with total time-stasis and range-based resource absorption. This time, Ethan will not give away a single cent. While Clara and Garrett demand money for luxury trips and bad debts, Ethan silently liquidates his assets, secures billions in loans, and absorbs millions of tons of high-calorie foods, fuel, generators, and military supplies into his dimension. When the temperature drops and the world freezes, his betrayers will shiver in the dark, begging at his door. But Ethan will be sitting in his heated fortress, enjoying a hot meal, and watching them burn.

Ethan is an ordinary college student, majoring in history and leading a quiet, unremarkable life. One day, while walking home from class, he is suddenly engulfed by a mysterious portal and transported to Aetheria, a sprawling fantasy world of magic, monsters, and legendary heroes. Upon arrival, he discovers he has been summoned as a “hero” to aid the realm against an encroaching darkness. However, his magical aptitude is abysmally low, and he fails every basic test and training exercise. The other heroes and villagers quickly label him “the weakest hero”, mocking him as a liability. Desperate and confused, Ethan’s life seems doomed… until a hidden system activates. A mysterious interface appears before him, explaining: > “Your power grows through failure. Each mistake, setback, and defeat will grant you new skills or enhance your existing ones. Your strength is derived not from talent, but from resilience and perseverance.” With this strange rule in place, Ethan begins to experiment. At first, his failures are laughably pathetic: falling off training cliffs, accidentally triggering explosions, or summoning useless monsters. Yet, each failure brings surprising growth: a missed spell suddenly evolves into a devastating magical combo, a botched sword swing awakens latent elemental energy, or a misstep in stealth unlocks precognition. As he slowly accumulates a patchwork of bizarre yet powerful abilities, Ethan’s reputation shifts from the weakest hero to a legendary wildcard, a hero who seems to defy logic and overwhelm enemies in the most unexpected ways.

Four years ago, Shen Yuan disappeared without a trace. Everyone on the Tianxuan Continent believed the insignificant young cultivator had met his end. They were wrong. Shen Yuan had fallen into the Celestial Expanse, a world where four mortal years could become a thousand years of bloodshed, cultivation, and survival. For a thousand years, he fought his way from the bottom. He faced immortal beasts, crossed forbidden lands, battled countless experts, and climbed realms no ordinary cultivator could even imagine. Eventually, the insignificant ant became the legendary Starfall Celestial Venerable. Then, at the height of his power, Shen Yuan was betrayed. An unexpected ambush left him on the brink of death. But instead of dying, he opened his eyes to the world he had left behind. The Tianxuan Continent. Four years after his disappearance. His cultivation is gone. His body is young again. But his memories of a thousand years remain. And so does his hatred. Everyone sees a young man who has returned from nowhere. No one realizes that behind those eyes is a Celestial Venerable who has already walked through a thousand years of war. Shen Yuan has only one goal now. Regain his strength. Return to the Celestial Expanse. Find the people who betrayed him. And this time, he will not stop until his sword reaches the person responsible. They thought they had killed him once. They have no idea what they have unleashed by giving him a second chance. The heavens may have taken a thousand years from him. Now Shen Yuan intends to take everything back.
