Of course, that’s easier said than done when you’re armed with nothing but a head full of optimism and… ink? Yeah, that’s right—Eleo’s got some weird, inky tricks up his sleeve, and he’s not afraid to get his paws dirty. But this isn’t just a simple quest for power. Along the way, Eleo stumbles into a whirlwind of quirky allies, towering foes, and mysteries bigger than his floppy ears. A fiery skeleton gentleman? A loyal yet terrifying warrior? A cocky kid with a chip on his shoulder? Oh, and enemies that could devour the world? Just another Tuesday. With every misstep and misfire, Eleo’s journey proves that being strong isn’t just about muscle—though it helps when you’re up against a monsters who could flick you into next week. It’s about heart, guts, and maybe a little luck… or a lot. So buckle up for a wild ride filled with unexpected twists, unexplainable powers, and enough ink to paint the town black. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll wonder if you’d stand a chance against a bunny who’s out to prove he’s tougher than the rest. Spoiler: You wouldn’t.

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning. With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

Elias was a man shaped by hardship, surviving the streets through crime and desperation. When he met Aria, she gave him hope and a reason to change—but fate had other plans. Long-standing injuries claimed his life, and he found himself reincarnated into the harsh, unforgiving world of Thorin. Now inhabiting the body of Elias, a "crippled trash" scorned for his inability to cultivate, Elias's second chance feels more like a curse than a blessing. To protect Elias from enemies, his powerful father forces him into an elite academy, not as a student, but as a teacher—a position that paints an even bigger target on his back. Complicating matters further, Elias gains access to a mysterious system that could change his fate. Unfortunately, the system is dysfunctional, sarcastic, and seems as broken as his mana veins. With strength as the ultimate law in Thorin, Elias must rely on his wits, the flawed system, and a dangerous ally—his brilliant but dangerously obsessive student. As secrets of the system unravel, Elias discovers that his destiny ties into something far greater than survival. Can Elias defy the odds and carve out a place in this brutal world? Or will he succumb to the fate of his predecessor, lost and forgotten? System: "Do you know how much divine ingenuity went into making me? And now I’m stuck with you—a mana-crippled, unworthy host. Someone’s getting fired for this.” Elias: Yes someone's getting fired, I really wish to know who created you so I can stab that Mother fucker

As if unrequited love was not enough, Vaidehi is cursed with a dead husband, power hungry guardians and distasteful glares from the society. But, though painful, life was consistent; a calm river where she needed not to look out for monsters. But then, she is hooked and dragged—only to be thrown in the middle of a stormy sea. Her only constant—a man with eyes more tumultuous than the wretched sea. But as the days turn into nights, and the sky is painted darker, Vaidehi realizes maybe she sought solace from the very root of her despair. (The cover art used is not my own.

In the imperial capital, a saintly figure spread his teachings far and wide, with followers throughout Qingzhou, his legacy lasting forever. Yet within Qingzhou City, in the compound of a family with a long military heritage, there was a child who never engaged in serious pursuits, instead spending his days playing chess, painting, fishing, and playing the zither. Years later— …… When the sword rose, dragon smoke stretched for three thousand miles, and a single strike wiped out the cities of nine provinces! Among all the laws of the world, only I, have entered the path. …… 【Light-Hearted Humor】【Martial Path Panel】【Art Master】【Scheming】

He stared down at her looking at his sweet innocent lamb, he couldn't help but smile at her widely. Her doe-like eyes staring back at him only made him want to devour her "Why do you play these games with me darling you know I don't like it. I think you forgot who you're dealing with." He leaned down against her lips slightly flicking his tongue in her mouth making her crave for more."My Quahneah Woman" Nicole gasped in shock as she wondered how he knew her tribe's name. Before she could say another Jasper had cupped her cheek softly placing his lips on hers and kissing her softly as he slowly removed his hands against the wall. He was wrapping his arms around her waist bringing her body closer to his as there was no space between them. As they continued Nicole started to become breathless pulling herself back to breathe, she couldn't help but look up to see Jasper looking at her with a smile that was Duchenne. His purple orbs looked into her seeing the love and adorn affection he was showing her.  "Jasper I have a question to ask you" Jasper hummed waiting for her question" What are we going to do about the tirade ." Jasper's smile suddenly became sinister as he narrowed his eyes "Why don't you leave that to me, darling."

Prologue: The Fall of the House of Eldras In an age long forgotten, the House of Eldras stood as one of the most powerful and revered noble families in the land. Known for their mastery over forbidden magic, the Eldras were the victors of a brutal war that reshaped the kingdom. They wielded an heirloom—an artifact of unimaginable power—that granted them dominion over the very forces of nature. But with great power came great envy. Betrayed by former allies and manipulated by political schemes, the Eldras were hunted down. Key figures were massacred, and the remnants of the family were exiled to the shadows, forced to adopt new identities and hide from those who sought their demise. Their legacy was erased from history, their name tarnished by propaganda that painted them as the villains of the war. Years passed, and the memory of the Eldras faded into myth. But deep within the heart of the Redwood Kingdom, a young boy named Sylas, the last bloodline of the fallen family, waits. His Ring—the key to his family’s forgotten power—will soon awaken, setting him on a path to reclaim his birthright. Yet, Sylas harbors no thirst for vengeance. He only desires a better life. But fate has other plans, and the world will soon discover that the true power of the House of Eldras is far from extinguished. In the shadows of the past, the Contracter's Conquest begins. ---

Welcome to a world where dragons soar through skies painted with magic, and devils lurk in the shadows cast by ancient portals. Five thousand years ago, a rift opened in the heavens, connecting our world to another—a realm teeming with gods, dragons, and a myriad of fantastical beings. Overnight, the balance of power shifted, and humanity found itself amidst an age of wonders and perils. In this new world, magic is not merely a legend but an everyday reality. It flows through the air, courses through the earth, and pulses within the very essence of life itself. With the advent of magic, humans evolved into heroes, demon lords, and monsters, carving their place in a society now governed by divine beings, dragons, and demi-humans. Three thousand years into this new era, a cataclysmic battle erupted between two mighty dragons—the Dark Dragon and the White Dragon. Their conflict ravaged continents and threatened to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Fearing mutual annihilation, humans, gods, devils, and demi-humans set aside their differences, forging an unprecedented alliance to slay the warring dragons. With great sacrifice and courage, they succeeded. The souls of the Dark Dragon and the White Dragon, however, did not find peace. Instead, they awaited their chance to reincarnate, their destinies bound to new hosts chosen from among humanity. Now, as the world enters its two-thousandth year of peace, the White Dragon has found its bearer—a young warrior named Ryuji. Ryuji, renowned for his valor and mastery of elemental magic, is hailed as the savior who bears the soul of the White Dragon. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to many, the Void Dragon—the counterpart to the White Dragon—awaits its own host, observing humanity from the shadows. As Kazuki Satoru prepares for his first day at a prestigious high school, unaware of the ancient power stirring within him, he finds himself thrust into a world where legends and reality converge. Little does he know, his destiny will soon intertwine with that of the Void Dragon, setting the stage for an epic tale of magic, courage, and the bonds that unite or divide us.

She was a pawn in a political game, nothing more. Her father, a man who despised her very existence, sold her off to the cold-blooded Duke in a marriage of convenience. Rumors painted her husband as a ruthless, unfeeling monster—a man to be feared, not loved. But she had long accepted her fate. After all, no one had ever cared for her, so why should her marriage be any different? Until her father, the man who abandoned her, barged into her life. “You are my daughter, and I have every right to take you back!” he declared, his once cold, dismissive eyes now brimming with something unrecognizable. Concern? Care? It was impossible. The man who hated her, who had cast her aside, now suddenly demanded her return. Why? As if that wasn’t enough, her aloof husband—known for his icy demeanor and ruthless efficiency—began to act… differently. The cold, unfeeling Duke she had resigned herself to live with seemed to harbor a warmth she couldn’t reconcile with the rumors that had defined him. “Do you really believe everything they say about me?” he asked, his piercing gaze softening for just a moment, leaving her speechless. Caught between a father whose motives are shrouded in mystery and a husband who defies every expectation, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew. Is her father’s sudden concern genuine, or is he playing yet another game? And what secrets lie behind the Duke’s impenetrable mask? In a web of lies, power, and buried truths, she must decide who to trust—if anyone at all. Could there be more to her fate than just being a pawn? Or will she be swept away by the tides of those who seek to control her?

The silhouette of a petite woman walked under the rain in the empty street, amidst the heavy beating and showering droplets. She dragged her weary herself through the cold and judging streets fully drenched as a lifeless corpse pushed around. Her clothes stuck to her from the rain, with eyes devoid of an actual sight. Crossing the deserted roads across the street, when a car collided into her, falling unconscious on the wet road. Asher opens her eyes, slowly to the soft warmth around her, feeling like death had taken her; only to see an intravenous inserted in her hands and beside her bed a man stood there holding a paper. " Miss, my boss saved your life. In exchange he wants a marriage contract with you. "

Aurora's intention was simply to escape temporarily from the chaotic city life and seek inspiration for her paintings by choosing an apartment on the outskirts. However, instead of the tranquility she expected, she found herself in a chaos even worse than before. The apartment she chose turned out to be a den of werewolves, creatures she had thought were mere myths. "You know too much. I should end your life right now."

Werewolves and magic, two things Aurora had never believed in her entire life, were now clearly right before her eyes. What frustrated Aurora even more was that she had to serve the Alpha, the leader of the werewolves, to protect her own life from being killed. She would serve this Alpha while plotting her escape. But why did the Alpha suddenly become so clingy, refusing to let her go, not even for a second? "My love, don't leave me. I'll do anything for you, so please stay here." What is the true reason behind the Alpha's sudden attachment to her?

Athena, a wise and fearless woman with unyielding ambition and a heart full of wonder, found herself bound to a man she despised. Yet, she couldn't resist the inexplicable pull he had over her, like a moth drawn to a flame. His piercing gaze, his chiseled features, and his formidable presence all seemed to whisper secrets in her ear, secrets that only she could hear. Kaden, a man of unyielding discipline and meticulous planning, never intended to marry. His life was a masterpiece of control and precision, with every detail carefully orchestrated. But fate had other plans, and he found himself wedded to a woman he disliked. However, her presence stirred something within him, threatening to upend his carefully constructed life. The way she moved with grace, the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the way her smile could light up the darkest of rooms all seemed to awaken a part of him that he thought was long dead. As they navigated their tumultuous relationship, the air was charged with an almost palpable tension. It was as if the very fabric of their world was waiting with bated breath for the spark that would ignite a passion that would change everything.

They were bound by a force that would stop at nothing to claim their hearts, a force that would change the course of their lives forever. ____________________________________________________ "We forge a love that conquers oceans, for our hearts were inscribed in stone, sealed by fate, and whispered by the stars."
