Valerian The Legendary

Three hundred years ago... the sky split open. A wound in reality known as the World Scar connected Elyndra to countless unknown worlds, unleashing monsters, forgotten civilizations, and horrors beyond human understanding. Humanity barely survived. Those blessed with Genesis forged contracts with mythical beings, driving the invaders back and reclaiming their homeland. Then they uncovered an even darker truth. The World Scar would never stop expanding. The only way to save their world... Was to conquer the worlds beyond it. Kalexi Rowan dreamed of becoming one of the legendary Vessels who would lead humanity's advance into the Scar. Instead... He failed his Awakening. His dream ended before it ever began. Branded a failure, mocked by those around him, and destined to remain ordinary, Kalexi prepared to accept his fate. Until the World Scar swallowed him alive. Lost in a world where even the sky felt wrong, he encountered something that should never have existed. 《Welcome, Candidate of Ascension.》 《You have been chosen to participate in the oldest race in existence.》 《Failure... will result in death.》 Granted the Infinite Genesis Archive, Kalexi gains access to an endless library that records every being to have existed across countless realities. He cannot create life from imagination alone—but if he can understand it, and pay the price, he can call its Genesis into reality. Now thrust into a competition against Candidates from civilizations older than history itself, Kalexi must conquer one world after another, survive the judgment of powerful World Wills, and uncover the truth hidden at the heart of the World Scar. Every conquered world raises humanity's limits. Every Genesis carries the legacy of a forgotten existence. Every victory reveals an even greater frontier. And somewhere beyond the final world... Waits the secret that gave birth to them all. Countless worlds.

What would you do if the entire world wanted you dead… simply because you existed? Kai Ashford thought his biggest problems were paying bills and surviving another bizarre investigation job. Then an ancient inheritance awakens a forgotten power within him—Qi—turning him into the first cultivator in centuries and the one the world fears as the Last Cultivator. Now, every time he uses his powers, government satellites lock onto his location, deadly machines are deployed, and hunters descend upon the city. To survive, Kai must hide his identity, suppress his Qi, and continue living as an ordinary young man by day. His only ally is Aria Vale, a mysterious hacker who never leaves her hideout. From behind a computer screen, she erases his digital footprints, manipulates surveillance systems, and protects his secret while guiding him through a world of ancient legends and hidden conspiracies. Together, they uncover the truth about the Civilization Rift, a gateway to the last sanctuary of the immortals, and a terrifying project to create a weapon capable of killing gods. But the greatest shock awaits Kai. The woman leading the hunt for the Last Cultivator is Director Evelyn Ashford, the legendary enemy of all cultivators… and the mother he believed died long ago. She has spent her entire life hating immortals, believing they stole her child. She has no idea that the boy she is trying to capture is her own son. Caught between humanity and the surviving immortals, Kai must uncover the secret of his birth and decide where he truly belongs. Is he human? Is he a cultivator? Or is he the bridge between two races destined for war? And if the truth behind his existence is finally revealed… why did his dying master tell him to run from the world?

Betrayed. Ruined. Reborn. Austin was the undisputed top genius of the Roaring Heaven Sect, a legendary beast tamer who bled for three agonizing years to elevate his clan into royalty. But the very moment they grasped ultimate power, loyalty was traded for ruthless ambition. His aristocratic fiancée, Vivian, alongside her cold-blooded family, betrayed him without hesitation. They ruthlessly pierced his dantian, shattered his cultivation, and ripped his Grade-9 Astral Phoenix soul straight from his flesh to graft it into her body. Cast out like garbage into the freezing, bone-chilled Ashen Graveyard during a howling blizzard, Austin lay dying among the skeletons of forgotten monsters. But as his heart gave its final desperate beat, his blood boiled, awakening a forbidden primordial lineage. TABOO BLOODLINE AWAKENED: THE COSMIC DEVOURER SYSTEM CORE INITIALIZED: YOU NO LONGER TAME BEASTS. YOU EAT GODS. Reconstructed with a swirling vortex of infinite gravity, Austin’s first system pull grants him a tiny, translucent Void Slime. When a mountain-sized, Tier-10 Ghost Emperor Dragon tears through space to annihilate him, the tiny slime unhinges its jaw to swallow the sky whole—devouring the dragon and skyrocketing Austin’s power straight to the Golden Core Realm. Yet, this massive surge of energy alerts the Higher Planes. Three god-level assassins are now descending to hunt him down, leaving Austin with a strict seven-day ticking clock to prepare. To survive, Austin conceals his terrifying new power, assuming the role of a bruised, broken, level-one trash cultivator. While Vivian and her clan arrogantly celebrate his death and auction off his ancestral legacy, the ultimate monster slips back through the city gates. They stripped him of his beast soul, so he will feed them to his gods. The real hunt has just begun.

Noah Kane has spent his entire life being told he's worthless. An orphan with no family, no wolf, and no future, he's ridiculed at Blackwood Academy, where the strength of your bloodline determines your worth. Betrayed by the girl he loved and humiliated before the entire school, Noah believes fate has already abandoned him. Then he dies. As his blood soaks an ancient pendant left by his unknown parents, a voice echoes through the darkness. [Compatible Host Confirmed.] [The Last Lycan System Activated.] In an instant, Noah awakens the legendary bloodline believed to have vanished centuries ago—the blood of the Last Lycan King. Now every Alpha Lord, vampire house, hunter guild, and hidden faction wants him dead before he claims the throne that could unite—or destroy—the supernatural world. With every mission completed, the System unlocks new powers, forgotten memories, and terrifying truths about the massacre that wiped out his family. But strength comes with a price, and every evolution pulls him closer to the ruthless monster the world fears he will become. Standing in his way is Lyra Ashbourne, the proud daughter of one of the Twelve Alpha Lords. Raised to believe the Last Lycan is humanity's greatest threat, she's sworn to hunt him down. Yet every encounter shatters what she's been taught, forcing her to question her family, her loyalty, and even her own heart. As enemies become allies, secrets become weapons, and love blossoms in the middle of a war neither of them chose, Noah must decide whether to become the king history demands... or the man Lyra believes still exists beneath the beast. Because the greatest enemy isn't the hunters chasing him. It's the darkness awakening inside him. When the last Lycan rises, the world will either kneel... or burn.

In the urban fantasy novel "Hellstinger," billionaire playboy musician Marcus Hellstinger is thrust into a world of supernatural forces and ancestral history after a mysterious visitation drives him insane. Discovering his parents' secret past as legendary superheroes, Marcus awakens to his own inherited powers and vows to avenge their deaths while battling the demonic god Romulus and his legion of minions. With the guidance of his devoted trainer/bodyguard/caretaker, Alexander Hill, Marcus must navigate a treacherous path of betrayal, self-discovery, and redemption as he faces the ultimate showdown against the formidable Romulus to protect his city and honor his family's legacy... ... "Ugh! Grr hmgh..!" Marcus grunts with effort as he climbs out of the cavern onto the leveled ground of the dark cave. "Argh!" He sighed and exhaled heavily, taking in a lungful of oxygen only to exhale more heavily as he crawled to rest his back on the cave wall. "Damn..." He huffed heavily, panting and aching. His fingers had blistered, aching, and bleeding, his back felt at its breaking point, his muscles could hardly respond to him anymore, and his stomach groaned relentlessly for food. He had collected the bow from the stream of luminous fluid, strapped it to his back, and climbed out of the cavern. Marcus had never been so out of his elements before, and climbing had never been an imagination much less doing it fatigued and hungry. Marcus laughed, who knew he could ever go this hungry and still climb several meters out of an underground cave? No one. Although he has no idea how long ago he had left his hotel room or how far he had walked to the forest, he knows he will have to do it all over again. "Ah f@#k!" ***
