But the real surprise comes when he discovers his new body isn't any of the familiar characters he once controlled. The owner of this body is some exiled noble named Adlet. An Extra.

In an archipelago teeming with unfathomable beings, a fragile boy exists—one who refuses to embark on the path of cultivation, unwilling to defy the heavens. All he desires is an ordinary life: to marry an average woman and pass away in peace. But how could I, the author, allow such foolishness? Cast out from his home by forces beyond his control, his own father is left with no choice but to hurl him into one of the mortal archipelagos. Yet fate does not grant him tranquility. This is not a tale of serenity, but of vengeance—the relentless fire that will forge a demon god, one who sees all life as nothing more than livestock. A quick reminder: If you are weak-hearted, I suggest you not read this. The amount of brutality and disturbing scenes is just too much to be swallowed. Don't complain if... You know what I am talking about.

No one expected a simple strategy game to become a real-world phenomenon, where the Earth merged with the game’s mechanics.

He tries to gather information to leave, such as observing Baron Kurtis' mansion. During a witch doctor's execution, a werewolf's attack reveals Friar Fula's powerful strength. Walter realizes that the chaos can be an opportunity to contact other heterospecifics, but he decides to wait until the Church's intense hunting subsides.

What if the balance of the world depended on a single awakening? In the ancient land of Bathalumea, a once-mighty civilization now fractured by time and turmoil, whispers of a forgotten power begin to stir. Haraya, the fabled ability to shape reality itself, was long thought to be a myth, buried alongside the sovereign bloodlines that once wielded it. But Haraya was never truly gone—it only waited. Now, as a new age dawns, the power begins to resurface. Across the sacred grounds of Bathalan, through the storm-laden waves of the Bagyuna Ocean, and into the shadowed ruins of Gintara, the resurgence of Haraya sends ripples through a divided world. The balance between order and chaos begins to tip, drawing the attention of powerful factions who see in it the key to domination—or destruction. Among them, a descendant of the lost power emerges. Haunted by tragedy and driven by the dream of rebuilding what was lost, they find themselves entwined with Haraya’s awakening. But as the forces of greed, fear, and ambition converge, they must decide: will they wield Haraya to heal a broken world, or will it unravel under the weight of those who seek to claim it? From the volcanic heights of Kaluyara to the enchanted forests of Aralyon, and into the unfathomable depths of the Diwang Abyss, Bloodline: Sovereign’s Awakening weaves a tale of hope, sacrifice, and reckoning. As ancient powers clash and the threads of fate tighten, one truth becomes clear: the return of Haraya may save the world—or destroy it forever. "Bloodline: Sovereign’s Awakening" is a tale of reckoning and renewal, where a power lost to time could unite a fractured world—or be extinguished forever, leaving its promise unfulfilled.

"This novel contains mature content suitable for readers aged 21 and above" What if everything you knew about humanity was a lie? In the year 2022, Earth stands as a testament to human progress—towering skyscrapers, supersonic jets, hypersonic missiles, and technology advancing at breakneck speed. Yet, despite these achievements, mankind remains blind to a far greater truth. Earth’s human race is not at the peak of evolution. Instead, it is the remnant of a once-mighty civilization that ruled the most energy-rich star domains in the universe. But why was this superior lineage reduced to a weakened, forgotten existence? Who stripped humanity of its divine power, making cultivation and cosmic energy undetectable? Zhen Chan, an ordinary young man living a peaceful life, stumbles upon a truth that shakes the very foundation of his world. The Bermuda Triangle, the Nevada Triangle, Japan’s Dragon Triangle—these are not just mysterious locations; they are remnants of a suppressed past, fragments of a forgotten war between powerful bloodlines and entities beyond comprehension. When Zhen Chan is abruptly taken from Earth and thrust into a realm where ancient human bloodlines still thrive, he faces a choice—embrace his extraordinary lineage or remain the weak, lazy man he has always been. But unlike legendary warriors who train relentlessly to become stronger, Zhen Chan has no patience for suffering. Instead, he schemes to exploit the cultivation world’s economy for his own gain. From selling beauty products to female cultivators to attempting to launch a social media empire in a realm where people communicate through divine senses, Zhen Chan’s ambitions know no bounds. But in a universe where wealth means nothing compared to bloodline power, can money truly buy influence? As he navigates interstellar clan wars, abyssal void beasts, and a galaxy where complete bloodlines reign supreme, Zhen Chan’s fate intertwines not just with Earth but with the destiny of the cosmos itself. Will he ever return home? Will he reunite with the women he loves, or will his heart be claimed by powerful female cultivators of another universe? In a world where one’s lineage determines their fate, will Zhen Chan rise—or will he remain nothing more than a lazy opportunist? Step into the journey and uncover the truth hidden within the bloodline!
