In a future where medical science has achieved remarkable breakthroughs, curing diseases that once ravaged humanity, a 45-year-old man named Arrol finds himself in a harrowing predicament. Despite the advancements around him, he suffers from a mysterious affliction that has aged his body prematurely, leaving him resembling an 80-year-old man. Trapped in a deteriorating body, Arrol believes he is slipping away, a mere shadow of his former self, with one foot already in the grave. His life takes a dramatic turn when he is approached by Dr. Albert Kesford, a brilliant but unconventional scientist at the forefront of groundbreaking research. He invites him to participate in a revolutionary experiment designed to unlock the secrets of human rejuvenation. Desperate for a cure and drawn by the potential of a new lease on life, Arrol reluctantly agrees, hoping to reclaim his vitality. However, during the experiment, everything goes awry. A series of unforeseen complications lead to a catastrophic explosion in the laboratory, engulfing Arrol in a blinding light. When he regains consciousness, he discovers he has been transported to an entirely different world—a vibrant realm of magic and supernatural beings, far removed from the sterile confines of his previous life. To his astonishment, Arrol finds himself in the body of a 15-year-old boy named Deese. As he navigates this new existence, he grapples with the excitement and confusion of youth, while also carrying the weight of his former life’s experiences. Not only does he have a second chance in life, but he soon discovers that his new body is enhanced with advanced nanomachines. These microscopic marvels harbor incredible abilities, granting him powers beyond what he ever imagined possible. [Nano Machine is fully activated, and all the functions are available to be used] In this enchanting world, filled with mystical creatures, ancient secrets, and a complex web of politics and power struggles, Albert—now Deese—must learn to adapt. He discovers that the nanomachines within him not only enhance his physical abilities but also enable him to tap into the magical energies that saturate this realm. As he embarks on thrilling adventures, he soon realizes a dark secret known only to the hidden powers of the world. ---------------------------------------- What to Expect: • [Reincarnation, but the MC retains all memories of his past] • [Slice of Life, Magic Technology, Crafting, Strong, Kingdom Building eventually] • [Romance?

The game has only just begun.

After 6,000 years of development by the immortal sect on Planet Earth, all of the leyline spiritual energy was controlled by the country. They only released enough spiritual energy for the cultivators to breathe. If a cultivator wanted to use the spiritual energy to train themselves, they would have to pay the immortal sect for that. Chen Mobai was a senior high school student at the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect. He was studying for his entrance exam at the colleges of the immortal sect. His biggest dream was to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm until he was transmigrated to a cultivation world. “There’s no one here despite how dense the spiritual energy is?” “Wait! Isn’t this the legendary spiritual herb? Are these not extinct here?” “Huh? Is this the method to extract one’s Spiritual Root? Also, isn’t this a divine technique?” “What a powerful cultivator! Please accept me as your disciple!” As his life in the cultivation world continued, his dream changed.

In the depths of the human imagination, the unsettling possibility of an omnipotent being capable of forging worlds arises. However, instead of weaving narratives that inspire or uplift the spirit, this entity plunges into the shadows, giving life to realms where evil and lust are the threads that weave its existence. In these dark realms, sins become the very essence of the story, reflecting the deepest and most disturbing inclinations of the human soul. This god, in his sinister work, not only creates, but also steals. The souls of mortals, caught in his web of temptations, are stripped of their essence and used as mere instruments in his theatrical work. Thus, the playwright of the macabre turns humans into puppets, manipulating their destinies in a spectacle of horror and despair. Creation is transformed into a grotesque representation of the human condition, where each act is an echo of the vices that dwell in the heart of humanity.
