Soul Refiner

The Demon Lord had grown weary of his existence as the strongest being alive. Power no longer thrilled him; victory had lost its taste. The only thing he now looked forward to was listening to the stories of Lucian, a human captive. Of all the tales Lucian told, the Demon Lord most enjoyed those about the quiet lives of ordinary humans — their laughter, struggles, and fleeting joys. He envied that simplicity and secretly wished he could experience it himself. One day, as Lucian spoke, the demons under his rule rose in rebellion. They gathered their strength and turned against their lord. The Demon Lord, instead of resisting, welcomed the uprising. At last, he saw a chance to end his long, lonely reign. When he fell, his powerful soul refused to fade. It drifted through the void for centuries, searching, wandering — until it found a newborn’s body, one that had just died moments before. And just like that, the Demon Lord began life anew — as an ordinary human. But some beings, no matter how they try, can never truly remain ordinary.

Immortal Emperor Dao was tricked into believing that capturing the wheel of time and space would fulfil his longtime wish of having children and a Dao companion of his own, but he ended up losing his original body, and his soul travelling through space into Earth possessing Old Ye who has eleven grandchildren. "Grandpa, I lost my job because my Boss instructed me to tell you to sell the Old Ye property" "Is your boss tired of living? Don't work for him, a Boss like that isn't even worthy to be the shoe carrier of Emperor Dao's grandson" "Grandpa, My husband's family want me to divorce my husband because I couldn't give birth to a child" "Is just giving birth to a child, I will give you a pill that you will give birth to triplet, are they worthy to be in-laws of Emperor Dao? They should be burning incense to their ancestors for getting such an undeserving opportunity" Heaven above and Earth below, who can make prideful Emperor Dao lower his head?

They laughed when you had nothing. Your ex humiliated you in public, calling you worthless. Your family turned their backs, and your boss threw you out like trash. Rock bottom wasn’t just a phrase—it was your reality. Until the day everything changed. When a mysterious man in a black suit steps out of a sleek convoy and hands you a letter sealed in gold, your life flips overnight. You’ve just inherited the unimaginable: the fortune, empire, and secrets of the world’s richest consortium. Now, you're not just rich—you’re untouchable. From surviving in the shadows to commanding boardrooms, buying skyscrapers, and reshaping your past with limitless power, your story becomes one of revenge served ice-cold. The same people who mocked you now crawl for your attention—and mercy. But with great wealth comes darker enemies, hidden agendas, and choices that could destroy the very soul you once fought to save. Because in this new world, money doesn’t just make the world spin—it spins you.

Samuel Gray is no one special. Just another forgotten soul in the lower levels of Novus City a place where dreams are traded for survival and even hope comes with a price. Each day blurs into the next as he delivers packages to people who don’t see him, eats food that barely tastes like anything, and falls asleep wondering if this is all life has to offer. But everything changes the night he tries to help a stranger and bleeds out in an alley. On the edge of death, a voice echoes in the darkness. > “Vitality Critical. Initializing Ascension Protocol. Do you accept?” In that moment, Samuel awakens something unimaginable: a system interface that turns the laws of life into a game complete with stats, quests, abilities, and something far more dangerous purpose. Now marked by a power that shouldn’t exist, Samuel must navigate a world where reality bends, imagination has weight, and forgotten dreams can become weapons. But the Ascension System didn’t choose him at random. There’s a reason he was chosen. There’s a cost to rising. And someone or something is watching.

The last strand of patience I had snapped into shreds when she chose her ex-lover’s son over our dying daughter. Now she paraded around smiling, flaunting him like a trophy, while I was left with nothing but the cold, lifeless body of my child. This wasn’t about hurt anymore. It wasn’t even about pain. She’d stolen a soul from me — and she would feel every atom of what I felt, and more. “I want a divorce.” “That’s not happening. You and I are in this together,” she screeched, eyes boring into mine, searching for the man who always bent to her will. “You will sign the papers,” I said, every word a quiet stone. “Make me!” I stepped closer. My hand closed at her throat — delicate, trembling under my grip — and forced her to meet me. “Sign the papers,” I whispered, voice low and cold. “Or I’ll make you suffer so that even our daughter hears your screams from six feet under.”

In the ruthless Solar Kingdom, where gods rule with iron fists and betrayal flows like blood, Lian is a broken slave marked by a dark curse—the mysterious Blood Key branded on his chest, a symbol of an ancient pact with a forgotten god of hunger. Beaten, burned, and forgotten, Lian’s life changes forever when he embraces a cursed power that grows stronger with every soul he devours. Now, walking the thin line between man and monster, he rises from the shadows as the elusive Black Ghost—a force of vengeance and rebellion. But the kingdom trembles under the cruelty of Prince Kairo, whose own dark transformation threatens to ignite war. As hunted whispers spread and the royal court launches a relentless pursuit, Lian must navigate deadly betrayals, forbidden powers, and a love that could either save his fading humanity or consume it entirely. Amidst swirling conspiracies and ancient secrets, one truth remains: only the Blood Key can break the seal binding their fate—and the princess who holds it may be both salvation and destruction. Blood will rise. Kingdoms will fall. And in the shadows, a god’s hunger awakens.

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?
