Under The Oak Tree Manta

In a world ruled by the Ascension System, survival is permission-based. At eighteen, every citizen is evaluated, awakened, and assigned a path. Those who fail are erased—cleanly, legally, without regret. Kael Ashborne fails. Declared unawakened, Kael is sentenced to execution inside a system-controlled dungeon. No skills. No stats. No divine interface to save him. His death is calculated, approved, and inevitable. Except it doesn’t happen. Through instinct, defiance, and choices the system cannot predict, Kael survives becoming a contradiction the Ascension System cannot classify or correct. Instead of granting him power, the system begins to observe him. Study him. Adapt. Hunted by system-enforcers and shadowed by a hidden group known as the Erased—people who exist outside recorded outcomes—Kael learns a terrifying truth: the system does not rule by strength, but by certainty. It closes futures, locks outcomes, and sacrifices possibility to maintain order. Kael can break those futures. Not by overpowering the system but by invalidating its decisions. As the system escalates from observation to rollback, rewriting time and reality to erase him, Kael’s existence begins to destabilize the world itself. Cities fracture. Laws glitch. People suffer under the cost of wasted authority. Forced to choose between survival and responsibility, Kael steps into a role no one was meant to fill: a living anomaly capable of reopening closed destinies. The system calls him a catastrophic variable. The world may call him something else.

Lampa, on the contrary, had a humane King hence was better. After the death of King Guantai of the Kamu Kingdom, the throne was taken over by his cruel son Prince Martin, who was far worse than his father.

In the Great Yan Empire, the Long Clan stood as the pillars of the north. Their young heir, Long Chen,was its brightest star—a genius born with the "Primordial Marrow"—a gift seen once in a thousand years. However, his brilliance planted a seed of envy in the heart of most elders. On his sixteenth birthday, the heavens turned red. His family was butchered by a coalition led by his father’s sworn brother, Wei Jue, who tore what he believed to be the Primordial marrow from Chen’s body and left him for dead in the Forbidden God-Grave Valley. Deep within the valley's lethal mists, Long Chen was rescued by Grandmaster Mo, a legendary figure who had ascended past the mortal realm centuries ago.

To the world, he is an unstoppable force of nature; to the traitors, he is a ghost from the grave who has come to collect a blood debt that can only be paid in full.

Synopsis – The Unexpected Heir In the small county of Cadbury, within the bustling Tulzar metropolis of Vernada, Cruz Piper is mocked as a worthless man living off his wife Lesley’s family wealth. Scorned by his mother-in-law, Margaret Piper, and pushed aside so Lesley can be matched with Gerald, heir to an influential Tulzar family, Cruz endures humiliation in silence. But Cruz is not who he seems. Presumed dead years ago, he is secretly the heir to the Archer dynasty, the wealthiest family in the world, and an undercover spy working for his country.
