Toriko Four Heavenly Kings

In a world where rulers inherit not only their thrones but also the debts of their predecessors, King Alric ascends the throne of a crumbling kingdom burdened by a contract signed centuries ago—a pact with the enigmatic Bank of Eternity. The debt must be repaid not in gold, but in lives. Every decade, a monarch must sacrifice a thousand of their own citizens, or the entire royal bloodline will be erased from history. But Alric refuses to pay. With assassins, rival nations, and the shadowy enforcers of the Bank closing in, he must uncover the origins of the contract, rally his people, and find a way to break the cycle before his time runs out. But as he digs deeper, he realizes the contract is tied to something older than his kingdom—something that wants to collect, no matter the cost.

Thirty Years East, Thirty Years West. Don’t you bully the young and poor! Split open the sky! Go against Heaven! Sick and tired of that kind of cultivation quote and troupe? The never-ending long grind that seemed to have one world after another once you supposedly reached the false apexes? Well, it’s time to broaden your horizons! You shall now be blessed with the perspective of someone who’s at the top of the top: Ye Ming. Someone who had foolishly decided to experience mortal life before realizing how crap it was. It was time to return to his real life. “I wasn’t born with a diamond spoon, but born with the endgame life.” Ye Ming laughed sinisterly. He was the sole Young Master of a family who dominated everything already. Trash cultivation? Trash spiritual roots? Trash background? Sorry, but that ain’t Ye Ming! However, he does have one great and relatable trait: procrastination.

A deadly, high-ranking assassin, forced to live as an ordinary student, enrolls at a prestigious university and crosses paths with the "Four Kings," the academy's most popular and untouchable group.

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

A man rejected by the will of the world he grew up in for all of his life, and a genius with infinite potential who fell as a result of making a risky bet. Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core. Reincarnators, Transmigrators and Regressors were barely qualified to chase after the unprecedented monsters that had been brought into being for the express purpose of rising above the rest. Battles between peers were like peeling an onion–nobody ever knew just how many cultivation realms and Talents the other had hidden away to catch his opponents off guard. With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray. Unbeknownst to all, other than returning triumphantly, he was entrusted with another task: To kill Huang Xian’s murderer–his wife, the Heavenly Empress! ------------------------- Read advance chapters (by paying for my meals) on Patreon: • https://www.patreon.com/sh1ro My novel series "Reincarnation Cycle's Unfortunate Bug" on Amazon: • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYHGRR8M/ Discord Server (currently under construction): • https://discord.gg/NdAjjmXSDh ------------------------- Hi there, this is Shiro / the author. Just one little cautionary warning here: Due to being set in an entirely alternate world from ours, while some terms and concepts might seem familiar at first glance, many in actuality are not. In canon, the World's Will of a world exactly like our own 'got inspired' by memories that it secretly glimpsed from the Heavenly Emperor, thereby creating extremely loosely related concepts in its own universe. So never expect anything to work in the same way as something that you are already familiar with, because chances are very high that it won't be the same at all.

Note: Warning, this book is written by people who just wants things to be as much chaotic as it can possibly get. Additional disclaimer: The image is not ours. If you want us to take it down then bet. Are you tired of those troupes where the MC hides their powers? Or one where the mc wants or has to save the world for his loved one. Perhaps, one where the world just moves in a predestined motion. One where it's a sandbox for the mc to grow. Are you tired of those? Do you want to just throw your brain out the window and try something garbage for once. Do you want a scenario where something just happens for the sake of happening and not because it's for an overarching plot. If so, welcome. Take a stop here and read what this book has to offer. Fuck it, we ball. Serious note: - Fast-paced: Chapters transitions to other ones in a blink of an eye till around chapter 12, at least. - There are multiple main protagonists - mainly four of them, among them, two are guaranteed to have an harem apparently/ - Names are mixed. We'll be mixing names from different cultures as we see fit. - Confusing plot, apparently. Reasons you should read this novel: "JUST TRY IT."

Being the youngest son of the Murim’s Sword God and the most favorite grandson of the Murim Alliance’s leader.

Is that true?” The entire land of Murim is boiling due to the unprecedented gossip that Namgoong Mir’s tabloid caused. Of course, the creator is happy with his success because he finally triggered the excitement of the Murim. But little did he know, this caused him to be kidnapped by the Heavenly Demon himself. “Did you just say I am impotent? Do you want to personally prove that?” The Heavenly Demon asked Namgoong Mir as he towered over the latter, naked and in full glory.
