"world of beasts, devils, and ancient gods — only defiance survives." In a world where Martial Souls dictate fate, and ancient clans weave bloodlines into destiny’s loom, the weak are nothing but dust beneath the boots of the powerful. Chen Tian was born in the lowest of realms, a forgotten village swallowed by fog and decay. His name was a curse, his existence an afterthought. In a land where your worth is forged by the Martial Soul you awaken, he was granted the lowest — a fragile, flickering Soul River Grade sword, unworthy even of mockery. Fate, however, is a cruel beast. On the day his soul shattered and death claimed him, a remnant of a bygone calamity descended. Hei Xuan, the fallen Demon Emperor of the heavens — bearer of the Void Abyss Eclipse Eye and the Reincarnation Six Path Eye — was dragged through the void and reborn within Chen Tian’s dying husk. What should have been the end… became a cursed beginning. Now, two wills share one body: A boy who refuses to kneel, and an immortal devil too proud to perish. Martial Souls clash. Immortal Eye Arts awaken. Soul Beasts roam. Ancient Clans hunger. In a realm where bloodlines dictate law and heaven’s will suffocates the weak, a single ember dares to ignite. This is the story of a forsaken boy who will carve his name into the bones of heaven. Not for vengeance. Not for glory. But to prove that even the smallest flame… can burn the sky.

Now he is going to use this cheat system to fuel his desires and accomplish his goals of becoming the crime boss

Betrayed by his dynasty. Cast into a feral world. Chosen by a fallen god. Caelan Orion was born into nobility but discarded like refuse—exiled for lacking magic, cursed for harboring the ancient Aetherius Pulse, and abandoned on Xylos, a dying world orbiting the prison of Xal’thun, the Star-Ender. But death was not his fate. Rescued by the dark god’s forgotten worshippers, Caelan made a desperate pact: in exchange for Voidmagic and vengeance, he would offer his soul. Now, as the Apostle of the Voidbound Darkgod, his body becomes a battlefield—torn between the soul-devouring curse of the Void and the life-anchoring force of Primordial Qi, an energy scorned by the modern empires. With every breath, he defies annihilation. As Caelan ascends through dark cultivation and forbidden sorcery, he uncovers a cosmic conspiracy: the Orion Dynasty and the Divine Overlords are parasites feeding on stolen divinity—and the very power that once marked him as “broken” may be the key to unmaking their rule. He is the Starsoul Heir. He wields the end of stars. He walks the edge of oblivion. And he will burn the gods for what they’ve done.

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent. Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities. Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail. Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek. Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal, having no idea that they just married their secret partner in crime. But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

The stark-naked, handsome, young man looked intently at a winged reptile creeping in front of him, His lips, closed tight since setting foot in this new realm, began to move as words echoed in the shadowy realm of awareness. "It has been determined that the leaders of the plan and all related individuals are dead, communication with Earth has been completely severed. Transitioning to autonomous operation mode. Updating log-in name to the fully planned 'Li Lin'. Given the current situation, autonomous task B4 is selected." The boy, now known as Li Lin, paused briefly, his voice taking on a chilling edge as if from the depths of hell. "Infiltrate and invade the low-level civilization, colonize it, Earthify it." The ultimate weapon in the form of a young man, in this magical alien world, sensed a familiar scent - war. And so, he continued his mission.

In a world where emotion fuels destruction, the greatest threat isn’t what people do—it’s what they don’t. Drive is the volatile energy born from resisting your own instincts. Repressed rage. Swallowed fear. Suppressed guilt. Most people leak it. Others wield it. And when too much builds up, it doesn’t vanish—it festers. The result? Hollows—mindless entities formed from humanity’s buried urges. They haunt the streets, feeding on tension, grief, and silence. At the center of it all is the Core Authority—a broken institution that recruits emotionally unstable teens to contain what adults caused and can't control. Failing is death. Succeeding means losing yourself anyway. In this system, being strong means being unwell—and surviving means never being whole again.

Imagine someone looked down upon because their ability name sounds like a paper cut, and imagine this ability giving the person the chance to cut anything, whatever it is. This ability, that being [Cut], cancels everything, but that is if the user pleases.

Left for dead on a snowy mission, cast aside by her own master and the disciples she once called family, Li Shuang should have fallen into obscurity. But instead, she rose. Severing her past, she cultivates the Supreme Forgetting Love Technique, a path of clarity forged through heartbreak—not detachment. In abandoning the soul-bound Frostcut Sword, she finds something far older, far darker: the Black Abyss Sword, an artifact of lost history and buried power. Taken in by a new master and siblings who see her for who she truly is, Li Shuang begins to rebuild. But the world is far wider than one peak, and the continent is only the beginning. Cultivators travel between nations and empires. Mysteries simmer beneath the surface of every sect.

Jin Mu-ryong, the disgraced heir of the Frozen Blade Sect, kneels before the Imperial Court—his hands bound in soul-severing chains, his once-proud robes reduced to bloodied rags. The Emperor, flanked by the very martial brothers Mu-ryong once called family, grins as he pronounces the sentence: "Execution for the traitor." Desperation turns to rage as Mu-ryong smashes his forehead against the floor—not in surrender, but in final defiance. The impact cracks the marble, and in that instant, a blinding summoning circle ignites beneath him, its intricate runes unlike any Murim formation. The Emperor's smirk vanishes as Mu-ryong dissolves into golden light, leaving behind only a whisper of qi and the echoing laughter of… someone else. He awakens naked and wounded in a grand cathedral, surrounded by foreign mages in flowing robes. Their language is gibberish, but their expressions are clear: awe and terror. For Mu-ryong has not been exiled—he has been summoned. The Kingdom of Luminar is losing its war against the Demon God’s hordes. Their last hope? A "Hero from Beyond the Heavens and a puppet they can control." But what they got was no hero, nor a beast to be tamed—they summoned a vengeful Murim monster.

He created an empire—not to rule the world, but to understand it. Silas Reed unified Earth, conquered nations, and led humanity into the stars. Not as a hero. Not as a tyrant. But as a man obsessed with truth. He needed minds. Tools. Data. So he raised a civilization around him like scaffolding. But when that civilization stopped growing—when it became content—he let it collapse behind him without regret. His final experiment was a time machine. It failed. Instead of the past, it flung him into another universe—one ruled by martial gods, bloodline dynasties, mana, and power structures beyond human logic. Here, Silas is no longer at the top of the food chain. But that only makes the puzzle more beautiful. He doesn't want revenge. Or redemption. Or power. He wants understanding. What he doesn't know—yet—is that he was expected. That his arrival was not a fluke, but a move. One placed on a board he cannot yet see, by players he cannot yet comprehend. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the chronicle of a man with a single obsession—and what happens when a cold, curious god of reason walks into a world that runs on myth. ------ -> Tags: #Transmigration #RationalMC #NoSystem #DarkFantasy #CosmicIntrigue #ObsessionDrivenMC -> Discord: https://discord.gg/W7DZDWYjKH
