You have activated the Attribute System.』 『Congrats host, you killed 5th stage of body refining realm cultivator and gained Qi points ×30.』 『Congrats host, you killed 1th stage of Qi refining realm cultivator and gained Luck points ×80.』 『Absorbed white Attribute orb, gained 1-star sword.』 『Absorbed golden Attribute orb, gained divine Artifact.』 Tian Shen: “…Huh?” Armed with his new system, Tian Shen embarks on a ridiculous journey—casually strolling through battlefields to collect fallen attributes, dodging cultivation technique manuals (which drop on his head), and even trolling young masters into fighting just to farm their stats. But as he levels up in the most absurd way possible, he soon realizes… is he cheating too much? Because now, heavenly tribulations, ancient sects, and hidden experts are all eyeing him. Tian Shen: I am favored by the AUTHOR of this book, you lots can't even handle my shoes. *Rumble**Crackle* Again Tian Shen: I-i was just joking, don't take it seriously. **BOOM**

On the Stellar Ascension Continent, mysterious meteorites periodically fall from the sky, bringing strange energy and advanced technology with them. A hundred years ago, a pitch-black meteorite crashed in the western lands, unleashing hordes of monstrous Shadowbeast. Humanity was forced to retreat eastward, barely managing to survive. In the years that followed, an army of Supernaturals rose to drive back the Shadowbeast and establish the Human Federation, building twenty fortress cities to reclaim their homeland. Eighteen years ago, an anomaly appeared over Delta Stratos City: a violet beam of light shot across the sky from the east, illuminating the Chase Clan.

Ten years ago, at the age of eight, Leon Chase underwent an ability assessment, only to be declared a "Powerless One."

The people of this prosperous nation lived happily, taking great pride in their homeland. Ceremus Marcrinos had just inherited the throne, and despite his grief, he carried out his duties the best he could. Unfortunately, his loneliness overwhelmed him, and the only escape from the pain in his heart came through his vices. Whether it was drinking the night away, sleeping with countless strangers, or getting into unnecessary fights, the king just couldn’t stay out of trouble. The citizens of Trojas initially tolerated his behavior, sympathizing with his loss, but things only grew worse. Ceremus, once revered as a benevolent king, became a tyrant. His abuse of power pushed the people to their breaking point, and in desperation, they prayed to Kaleeso, the goddess and creator of mortals, to ease their suffering. The goddess, moved by their cries, chose to send someone who could finally put the unruly king in his place. A man emerged from the heart of the Aphthonia Forest becoming the protector of its land. He had but one mission—to save the people, but more importantly, save the King of Trojas from himself. The problem was, would the prideful Ceremus be able to accept such a change? Especially when all he had known for the last eight years was solitude? I mean his chosen one was destined to be a man! ~*~ Cover was recreated!

Twelve Thrones is a tale of twelve kingdoms, each with its own perspective, allowing you to follow one, multiple, or all as you decide who you want to see triumph in the end. But remember—this is a story of war, power, and ambition, and not all kingdoms will survive to the end. Twelve Thrones: United Islands of Khiz (UIK) Perspective tells the story of UIK, a collection of islands bound by the sea and a complex network of political and familial ties. The people of UIK are defined by their resilience and resourcefulness, as they face constant challenges both from the seas and the political ambitions of other kingdoms. As the ruling class of UIK navigates shifting alliances and internal power struggles, they must also protect their homeland from those who seek to control the valuable trade routes and resources of the islands. The first 25 chapters will cover UIK's history, uploaded weekly on Mondays at noon. Afterward, the main story begins with shorter chapters (1–2 per week) focusing on the present day. Unlike the history chapters, the story won’t have dates and will follow one character—you’ll need to piece together the timeline through character interactions and events. I recommend reading the series in date order to fully grasp the unfolding history. If the story gains popularity, I might include a date order map on each perspective.
