When San Francisco socialite Evelyn Hawthorne's wedding dress was stained with gasoline and blood on the eve of her engagement party, a woman with burns crawled out of an abandoned church in the slums of Chicago.

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

Born in the slums, abandoned by fate, Lucian Voss refuses to kneel. In a world where the strong reign supreme, he will carve his own path—not with destiny’s blessing, but with sheer, unyielding will.

It’s 2100, and Vincent Carter – Ying – is a twenty-year-old virgin with a penchant for profanity, he has but three guiding principles: “In a world where honour and valour seem like unaffordable luxuries, cowardice remains the pragmatist’s ultimate virtue. Spinelessness isn’t shameful, it’s simply self-preservative romance.” “Doubt is unironically the cheapest superpower a person can have, after all if it’s human, it’s probably plotting something. And if it’s plotting something, it’s probably hiding something. And if it’s hiding something… well, you get the idea. So question everything, one sceptical step at a time.” And lastly, “Muscle heads – because who needs brains when you can just flex your way through life? Couldn’t be me, I’ll tell you that much.” Armed with nothing but these… questionable (?) values, as well as experiences shaped by a hellish life in the slums, Ying dives headfirst into the latest VR sensation – Cultivation Climax, a world brimming with great magic, ancient mysteries, and blood-curdling conspiracies just waiting to be unravelled. However, because Ying’s life is just that kind of special, he is greeted with a rather ‘lovely’ surprise upon opening his eyes to the new world… Ding! [Your misfortune is truly astounding!] [You have awakened the absolute WORST talent for Cultivation!] ‘…’ “…W-what?!” Yes, what indeed.

Rane was the cherished young miss of the William family, but as fate would have it, their affection deeply favoured her adopted sister. The reason was simple, as children Genna and Rane were switched at birth. Rane had lived in the slums while Genna was raised by the Williams family. By the time the Williams family found her their ties with Genna had already become too tight. They couldn't accept her. Haunted by a tumultuous past that saw her wandering the unforgiving streets, Rane had developed a quiet, fragile demeanour that resembled the calm before a storm. The scars of her past etched into her soul made her reluctant to defend herself, even when Genna—sometimes out of jealousy—slandered her unfairly. Rane often faded into the background, a silent observer in her own life, but this only stoked the fires of resentment among her siblings, who labelled her as spineless and malicious. The relentless bullying and merciless ridicule she faced took their toll, leading her down a dark spiral into depression. Friends, teachers, and family dismissed her pain, assuming she was merely feigning weakness, leaving her to suffer in silence. Instead of receiving the support she needed, Rane found herself trapped in a vicious cycle of mistreatment that deepened her despair. Only her godmother, Jenna, seemed to grasp the extent of Rane’s anguish. By the time Jenna intervened, attempting to rescue her from the suffocating grasp of her adoptive family, Rane had become a mere shadow of her former self. The vibrant spark of life within her had dimmed, extinguished by the burdens she carried. Her will to fight, to change her circumstances, slowly ebbed away, mirroring her physical decline. Ultimately, she succumbed to the weight of her suffering, leaving this world with one solitary wish: she wanted to be strong so strong that no one would be able to take advantage of her.

In a world ravaged by civil war, humanity teetered on the brink of collapse. The conflict was fueled by the fact that humans possessed extraordinary abilities, which they wielded against one another in a desperate bid for dominance. As the chaos escalated, the Hoshino family, driven by a desire to restore peace and balance to the world, took drastic measures. They created a virus, one that, when inhaled, would suppress the special powers that had become the root of the conflict. The virus, a potent tool in the quest for tranquility, was disseminated globally, its effects felt by all who breathed it in. To ensure that humanity remained in check, the Hoshino family periodically released the virus, maintaining a delicate equilibrium. However, there was a caveat: the Hoshino family themselves were immune to the virus's effects, possessing a unique resistance that set them apart from the rest of humanity. This immunity granted the Hoshino family unparalleled power and control, allowing them to shape the world according to their vision. As the sole guardians of the virus, they held the fate of humanity in their hands, dictating the course of history and maintaining the fragile peace that had been forged. Generations passed, and the Oshino family's grip on the world only tightened. They ruled with an iron fist, crushing any opposition and maintaining control through brutal force. But their power went beyond mere physical dominance - they had also developed the ability to manipulate the minds of people, erasing memories and altering perceptions to suit their own agenda. The world was a dystopian nightmare, with the Hoshino family pulling the strings from behind the scenes. But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged. A young man named Kaito, along with his loyal companion, a dog from the slums, rose up to challenge the Hoshino family's stranglehold on the world. They were joined by a motley crew of individuals from the slums, each with their own unique skills and strengths. Together, they formed a ragtag resistance, determined to fight against the Hoshino family's tyranny and reclaim the world for its rightful owners. As Kaito and his companions delved deeper into the heart of the Hoshino family's stronghold, they began to uncover the dark secrets behind the virus and the family's mind control techniques. They discovered that the virus was not just a simple suppressant, but a complex tool that altered the very fabric of human consciousness. They learned that the Hoshino family had been using the virus to erase memories of humanity's past, to make people forget that they had once possessed extraordinary abilities. The more they learned, the more they realized that their fight was not just against the Hoshino family, but against a system that had been designed to keep humanity in chains. They saw that the world was a prison, with the Hoshino family as the wardens, and that the only way to escape was to confront the truth and shatter the illusions that had been cast over the world. With this knowledge, Kaito and his companions steeled themselves for the ultimate battle. They would fight to free humanity from the Hoshino family's grasp, to restore the memories of the past, and to reclaim the powers that had been lost. The war for the future had begun, and the fate of humanity hung in the balance. Would Kaito and his companions be able to overcome the Hoshino family's formidable power, or would the world remain forever trapped in a cycle of oppression and control? Only time would tell.

Jane was just a girl living under someone else's roof, growing up in her aunt’s house, enduring a life as humble as that of a slum dweller. Her greatest joy in life was fantasizing about the world of magic. From Harry Potter to Dragon Raja, she was captivated by those mystical stories, always dreaming that one day, a letter from a magical academy would arrive, taking her away from this place that never truly belonged to her—into another world. Yet, she never expected— Her fate had already been manipulated. The magic academy admission letter she forged… turned out to be real? Why is the ruler of the demonic realm so obsessed with her? And why does the academy’s cold-as-eternal-ice headmaster keep breaking the rules for her? He, the supreme existence, standing above all, as indifferent as a god. Yet, for her, he broke the rules again and again— Even at the cost of forsaking his duty to guide all beings. He, the proud noble heir, born to be admired, his bloodline pure. He gazed at her, his sharp eyes filled with a complicated emotion. His voice was cold, yet carried an inexplicable hesitation. “You, an ordinary mortal without any noble lineage—why were you allowed to enter this place? So… who exactly are you?” He, the king who endured a thousand years of solitude, waiting for her in the depths of darkness. He reached out his hand, his voice as deep as if it had traveled through the endless abyss of time. “If you could only choose one side—would you stand by my side, or become my enemy?”
