The Ancient Genes

Pets may reign like emperors— but I am destined to become the Medicine King of another world. Nie Kong was a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his previous life—and a max-level pharmacist who once stood at the peak of a hyper-real game world. During the final battle against an undefeated game boss, fate struck. Lightning fell. Death followed. But instead of ending, his life began again. Reborn into a cultivation world, Nie Kong awakens in the body of a frail young man burdened with a terminal constitution—a body destined to die before the age of eighteen. His meridians are blocked, his blood ব্জpoisoned by years of failed medicines, and his family reduced to a declining shadow watched by predators. Yet something impossible crossed worlds with him. A purple illusory spirit seed, born from collapsed game data and fused with his soul, now lies dormant within his body—awakening as a terrifying spiritual companion with emperor-level potential. Armed with medical knowledge far beyond this world, forbidden needle arts, and a spirit pet that devours medicine to grow stronger, Nie Kong begins to rewrite the rules of cultivation itself. Illness becomes nourishment. Poison becomes a catalyst. Healing becomes a weapon deadlier than blades. As clans scheme, geniuses rise, and ancient powers stir, Nie Kong walks a path no one else dares to tread—a path where medicine rules over cultivation, and a once-weak youth forges his way toward absolute supremacy. This is not the story of a warrior. This is the rise of a man who defies fate itself— the Otherworldly Medicine King.

Ling Feng was meant to be the undisputed heir of the Ling Clan, born with the legendary Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root. On the day of his awakening, everything was stolen away by his uncle, Ling Zhaoyang, who was driven by ambition and jealousy, betrayed him in front of the entire clan, forcibly stripping away his visible Root and casting him as a cripple. Branded as a disgrace, Ling Feng was thrown from the Cliff of Exiles, his death declared and his name erased from the clan But the ritual did not destroy him. It suppressed something far older and far more terrifying. Rescued by the reclusive master Yue Xuān, Ling Feng vanished from the world for ten years. In isolation, he cultivated the Void Heart Path—a forbidden system that commands nothingness itself, concealing his power so completely that even the heavens cannot perceive it. Now twenty years old, Ling Feng returns to the Azure Eastern Empire under the alias Mo Ying, an unremarkable nobody moving through a ruthless world of Hunter Guilds and elite academies. To survive, he must remain invisible, climbing step by step while those who ruined him thrive in the empire built on his blood. His purpose is simple: expose the traitors, destroy Ling Zhaoyang, and reclaim what was stolen from him. But as buried secrets surface, Ling Feng discovers his betrayal was only the beginning of a far greater scheme—one tied to an ancient entity clawing its way back into existence. His revenge is no longer personal. If he fails, the continent falls with him.

What is FEAR to that whose only dream is to die while standing? That is the only dream of a boy who was born in the slums and had to fight his way out just to find himself still at the bottom of the food chain. Arkan, a boy obsessed with the ability to shoot lasers was this person. A dying god had summoned him and in turn of reincarnating him into another world, he would avenge him by hurting and killing all of the other god’s chosen ones who had reincarnated in that world long before him, for he was the perfect person who could do so. A person who could not and does not wish to use mana and possesses a power only fantasied on earth and one that no one had ever been able to produce using magic in that world, the power to produce laser. So starts the journey of Arkan. A journey that no one else could walk and live in order to fulfill his promise, he would have to hunt and face powerful people who not only possessed something powerful on their side, as they could choose to either have a System or an A.I to assist in their journey while he would only have to rely on his intuition. Not only that, but he would have to fight the powers of that world both in the shadows and in the light as many kingdoms fall while the powerful fight and ancient beings start to show themselves again. To make matters worse, by being summoned the way he had been, a divinity that no one would ever want to have was left in his soul, for the one who he has to avenge is the god of misfortune, OIZYS.

For a thousand years, the Dragonforge has slumbered, its molten heart pulsing with the blood of the first dragon. Every century, it awakens to choose a champion, one who will either reforge the legendary Dragon bane and slay the Eclipse Wyrm, or become its vessel and doom the world. This time, it chooses Dain, a lowly blacksmith’s apprentice with no magic in his veins. But Dain hides a secret: he is the last descendant of the Dragonforge Heir, a bloodline cursed to bear the weight of the world’s salvation, or its destruction. On the night of his twentieth birthday, Dain’s adoptive father, Borin, is murdered by the Order of the Silver Flame, a fanatical sect of dragon-slayers who believe Dain’s blood is the key to unleashing the Wyrm. Forced to flee, Dain discovers the truth: his hands bear the Mark of the Forge, and his veins run with the same fire as the ancient dragon. Hunted by the Order and pursued by the Ashen Covenant, a cult that worships the Wyrm, Dain must master the lost art of Runesmithing and gather the Seven Sacred Ores to reforge the Dragon bane. But the deeper he delves into his heritage, the more he questions whether the Wyrm is truly a mindless beast, or a prisoner of a divine betrayal. His only allies are Serra, a disgraced knight of the Silver Flame who wants to burn the world to save it, and Veyla, a sorceress of the Ashen Covenant who hears the Wyrm’s whispers in her dreams. Together, they journey across the shattered kingdoms of Eldros, from the Phoenix’s Nest to the Tomb of the Forgotten King, each step bringing Dain closer to the Wyrm’s awakening—and his own transformation.

"From powerless dropout to god-slayer—power demands sacrifice." Kael Thorne has spent his life as nothing in a world where magic is everything. Expelled from Argentum Academy, mocked by those born with power, invisible in a society that measures worth by magical ability alone. When his estranged grandmother dies, she leaves him a tarnished locket, he remembers her wearing obsessively, whispering to it like a confidante or a curse. Everything changes the night Kael opens the Locket. The locket grants him the impossible, the power to devour others' magical abilities and make them his own. For the first time, Kael tastes what he's been denied. But every theft leaves a trail, every stolen power whispers in his mind, and black veins crawl across his skin like corruption taking root. As the Mage Council hunts him and his victims demand vengeance, Kael uncovers a horrifying truth: his grandmother was the legendary Phantom Thief who massacred seventeen mages decades ago. The locket imprisons an ancient entity called the Devourer—and Kael was born powerless because it drained his magic in the womb, making him the perfect vessel. The entity is waking, fed by every ability Kael steals. He faces an impossible choice: destroy himself to stop it, or embrace what he's becoming. Kael chooses power. He absorbs the Devourer completely, transforming into something beyond human—a dark god who hunts the magical elite and reshapes the world in his image. The Council's gods had their reign. Now Kael will devour them all. In a world built on stolen power, he'll take everything.

They killed my family. Stole my empire. Forced me to marry their daughter as a "peace offering." For three years, I played the worthless son-in-law; beaten, humiliated, spat on by my wife's family. They called me a coward who abandoned the Chens during the massacre. They don't know the truth: I was drugged, framed, and left to rot. On the night my wife signed our divorce papers, her brother left me bleeding in an alley to die. That's when IT awakened; the Ancestral Blood System, a Chen family legacy that activates only when the heir loses everything. But this system doesn't give free power. It demands SACRIFICE. Want money? Trade your memories. Want strength? Endure torture that breaks your soul. Want revenge? Lose the ability to feel joy. Every victory costs a piece of my humanity. Every choice drags me closer to becoming a monster. The five families who butchered my bloodline think I'm still that pathetic son-in-law. They're about to learn what happens when a caged lion breaks free. My mother-in-law mocked me? I'll buy her company and make her beg. My wife's new fiancé tried to kill me? He's the mastermind behind my family's murder and he has a system too. The world thinks the Chen Empire is dead? Watch me build something even gods will fear. But here's the problem: The more I use this power, the more it corrupts my soul. At 100% corruption, the system consumes me and unleashes an ancient demon that will end the world.

A thousand years ago, the world was consumed by an apocalyptic catastrophe. A thousand feet tall Sword came from above and setttled on earth. The earth itself twisted under the weight of its power, and from the fallout emerged monstrous creatures born from radiation and chaos it brought. In the centuries that followed, humanity clawed its way back from the brink of extinction. Massive fortress cities now stand as bastions of survival, shielding the remnants of mankind from the horrors that lurk beyond their walls. Over time, a new power system emerged — one that allowed humans to awaken unique abilities at the age of sixteen. Some gained bloodline powers, inheriting ancient strengths. Others awakened elemental affinities, commanding fire, water, or lightning as extensions of their will. But when Aren Hunter faced his awakening ceremony, he awakened… nothing. No bloodline. No element. Instead, something entirely different stirred within him — a mysterious interface that called itself the Creation System. “You can create any technique you desire — as long as you have the points to pay for it.” It also granted him the ability to cultivate any technique placed within its slots. Now, armed with this strange and limitless power, Aren must forge his own path. Will he rise to protect his family and defend humanity against the darkness — or fade away as another forgotten name lost to time? --- System Interface: [Host: Aren Hunter] [Tier: Non-Awakened] [Slot 1: Inactive (0/100)] [Slot 2: Locked] [Slot 3: Locked] [Slot 4: Locked] [Slot 5: Locked] [Points: 0]

Aric Blackthorn is cursed by a power that loves him too fiercely, a psychic leviathan with no respect for boundaries—a Devil’s Fruit that warps flesh, mind, and fate. When House Blackthorn is torn apart by ancient betrayals, Aric must master psychic warfare and arcane combat to survive. But the power inside him hungers, and if he gives too much, it might devour everything he holds dear. Devil’s Fruit: I Couldn’t Evolve is a brutal, sensorial journey into love turned monstrous, where sarcasm scythes through blood‑dark magic and each spell is a promise of beauty and violence. Aric Blackthorn awakens in the ruined halls of his ancestral keep, the psychic presence of his Devil’s Fruit thrumming in his mind—a beast that speaks in riddles and carves runic fractures through reality. Determined to reclaim his legacy, he forges uneasy alliances: Seris the shadowsmith, Vira the mercurial envoy, and Kael the steadfast guard. Every encounter sparks a battle of senses and strategy—color‑bleeding mana webs, sigil‑etched swords, psychic pressure like thunder in the veins. As Aric climbs the ladder of power, House Blackthorn fractures under envy, and rival factions—Elowen’s hollow‑vein cult, Garrick’s iron‑sigil enforcers, Thane’s dread‑spiral cabal—seek to claim the psychic core within him. But when his psychic companion Lysander whispers that love is the greatest threat, Aric must choose: let the fruit consume him, or turn its monstrous devotion into salvation. Sacrifices will bleed sincerity, sarcasm will break bones, and comedy will red‑raw the absurdity of power.

The sunny afternoon sky shifted into a red sky with a blood moon, and the land stretched out endlessly, zombie armies accompanied by towering giant monsters and dragons. The invincible virtual realm and the real world merged for a time, shifting into an augmented virtual reality where everything is real. Nine giant demon lords, three times taller than the size of a man, dressed in full armor as medieval knights of skeletons and bones, declared that humanity has eight virtual survival game stages they must cross. Anytime a demon lord is defeated, their world returns to normal until the timer for the next stage begins. Humanity must defeat the demon lords of pride, sloth, gluttony, envy, wrath, lust, and greed, then death, and face the last challenge-King of the abyss, Abaddon.
