Nutri Sanctuary

His life as a pragmatic Swiss engineer met a definitive end, only for awareness to dawn again beneath the borrowed skies of a Xianxia world. He awoke trapped in the body of Chen Yi, a young master burdened by unfamiliar customs and the encroaching memories of a life not his own. Before he could fully grasp this impossible reality, a strange interface materialized before him—a system powered by the world's spiritual energy: Spirit Stones. Driven by a chilling curiosity born from the shock of transition, he activated it. The cost: one Spirit Stone. The result: a horrifyingly visceral simulation of his new family's impending doom – a wedding feast destined to become a bloodbath, culminating in his own brutal, simulated demise. Armed with this terrifying foresight and governed by the cold calculus of survival inherited from his past life, he made his choice. Heroism held no appeal; saving strangers bound only by phantom memories was illogical. Survival was paramount. Taking only the simulation's grim memories as his reward, he ruthlessly abandoned the doomed Chen Mansion, fleeing to a hidden grotto revealed during his simulated escape. Here, in the damp darkness, a new strategy takes shape. The system offers knowledge, experience, even items pulled from simulated timelines, all for a cost intrinsically tied to his cultivation realm. The path becomes chillingly clear: remain a mere mortal, keep the simulation cost minimal, and exploit this reality-bending power from the unbreachable safety of stone walls. While the world outside hurtles towards inevitable chaos, he will cultivate knowledge through infinite simulated lives, mastering theories of power and immortality, surviving on scavenged scraps pulled from virtual pasts. His sanctuary is a grotto; his cultivation ground, the endless, recursive possibilities of the simulation. Let others chase tangible power across the lands; he will build his foundation unseen, cycle by cycle, until the cost of godhood itself becomes affordable.

Born into poverty, Syra's beauty was both a blessing and a curse. With delicate features that could bring kings to their knees and a mind sharper than any blade, she should have had the world at her feet. But from the moment she stepped into womanhood, men coveted her, women despised her, and society sought to control her. Haunted by the hungry stares of lecherous men, crushed beneath the weight of jealousy, and drowning in the loneliness of being misunderstood, Syra had only one escape—her mind.

Yet, when success finally graces her life, her beauty becomes a different kind of curse—one that binds her to the obsession of a man unlike any other. Leon Alaric is not just rich—he is powerful, ruthless, and dangerously possessive. A man who built an empire with his own hands and takes what he wants, no questions asked. The moment he lays eyes on Syra, he knows one thing: She belongs to him. But Syra is not a woman to be owned. If he wants her, he must prove that he sees beyond the superficial. That his love is not just for her face, but for the fire burning within her soul. Can she trust a man whose love is too intense, too all-consuming? Or will she lose herself in the very obsession that promises to protect her? A story of pain, survival, and a love so deep it borders on madness.

After years of operating in the shadows as the infamous "White Fox," she finally allowed herself a rare break—a vacation in the comfort of her modern apartment.

In this unfamiliar world, where nothing felt like home, her own name became a haze to her—like a puzzle missing a crucial piece.

Omegaverse## Kaelith thought his life was over when his machine blinked its last light, his step-sister’s novel still in his hands. Dying while reading a love story: wasn’t that just cruel irony? He never even had the chance to experience love himself. But death wasn’t the end—it was a reset. When Kael opened his eyes, he wasn’t in a hospital or some afterlife. He was inside the very book he had just finished, a world ruled by Alphas, where Omegas were expected to submit, and vampires lurked in the shadows of power. And him? He was a nobody. A character that wasn’t meant to exist. But worse than that, he was an Omega, born into a prestigious Alpha family that saw his existence as a stain. Hidden from the world by a father who refused to acknowledge him, protected only by a mother’s desperate pleas. Yet, unlike the character in the novel who lived in quiet submission, Kael refused to let this new life be another cage. He wanted to live. To experience everything he never could. So he went to college. He went to parties. He kissed a stranger at a club. That was his first mistake. Because that stranger? Leonhardt. A ruthless Alpha who never cared for Omegas until Kael’s scent shattered his world. Then came Veyron. The Chaos Bringer. A vampire minister who lived for centuries without temptation until Kael’s blood left him intoxicated and craving more. And lastly, Cauis. The sanctuary. A Beta who saw Kael for who he was, but loved him with conditions, and refused to let him go. Kael only wanted to have fun. To finally live. Instead, he found himself at the center of a dangerous game where love, obsession, and power blurred into one. And the scariest part? He didn’t know if he wanted to escape or to fall even deeper. — An Alpha. A Vampire. A Beta. Who would he choose? Would it be Leonhardt, the possessive Alpha who refuses to let him go? Veyron, the enigmatic vampire who tempts him with both danger and pleasure? Or Cauis, the only one who offers him a love with conditions? One heart. Three paths. Which one will he follow?

The stability of existence. * * * Referred to by the Known as [All], and Firstborn of the [First Foul], Leon Oaken. 'I have Integrated... but what is my Rank? My Skills? The [Status] doesn't even display my Stats...' The boy who was meant to command reality, was revoked of this right. Instead he was forced to wield the idea before existence.

And in an existence steeped in stagnation and rot, he dares to bring change. Even if it means becoming what should not be. ============================= *WSA 2025 ENTRY* Hi! I recommend reading until chapter 15. Leon did not reincarnate, transmigrate, or regress. The story follows him since his birth, so I have to establish his character first. And that will take a few chapters, so, the side characters will have more screentime at the beginning.

It tore them apart, leaving behind an aching void and a distance that felt impossible to close. Now, as fate continues its relentless game, pulling them further apart, the question remains: Can they defy the forces that conspire against them, or are they destined to remain forever out of reach?

In the vast expanse of legends, there exists a singular figure known as Azeris, revered as the progenitor of the Infinity Dragon Bloodline. This remarkable lineage bestows upon him god-like powers, enabling him to manipulate the very essence of reality itself—creating and destroying with a mere thought, limited only by the bounds of his imagination. However, before he could fully harness the extraordinary potential of his abilities, sinister forces conspired to thwart him. The Omniversal Sovereign Court—a fearsome assembly of ancient cosmic entities; The Abyssal Void Order, masters of darkness and treachery; and The Tribunal of Fate, those who manipulated the very threads of destiny—all converged upon him with deadly intent, seeking to extinguish his light. In a desperate moment where death clung to him like a shroud, Azeris summoned his ingenuity and willed forth a sanctuary—a small yet powerful realm brimming with boundless resources and enchanted wonders. This haven emerged as a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching chaos, a place where the essence of his power could endure and grow. Fifteen years slipped by in an instant, leaving the outside world to forget the once-mighty Infinity Dragon Progenitor. His legacy, once heralded across galaxies, faded to mere whispers carried along by the winds of time. Yet, the pulse of his bloodline remained, an ancient force lying dormant, waiting for the right moment and the right spark to awaken its formidable power once again. That moment arrived with the birth of a young boy named Azeris Nightshade. Unbeknownst to him, he bore the weight of an extraordinary inheritance, the hidden truth of his lineage bubbling within him like a dormant volcano eager to erupt. This marked only the beginning of his saga—an epic adventure awaited him as the threads of fate began to weave a new destiny.
