80 years ago, a colossal monster tore through New York City, leaving millions dead in its wake. Just when all hope was lost, a glowing figure descended from the sky and vanquished the beast single-handedly. His name was Solar, Earth’s first superhero. He revealed himself as a fairy from a neighboring dimension, and with him came the dawn of a new age. Now, the world is filled with human-fairy hybrids. Some rise as heroes. Others fall as villains. And a rare few walk the line in between. Superhero culture is everywhere. Cities have registered protectors. Kids grow up idolizing capes the same way they once admired movie stars. Thalia Grave is not one of the lucky ones. Just a broke college student with a Solar obsession, living quietly with her single mother and kid brother, until the night she dies saving a stranger during a monster attack. She awakens in the Pale Crossing, the border between life and death, where a cryptic entity offers her a second chance... and a System unlike any other. She's returned to life, but not as a fairy, or even a hero. Thalia is now something the world hasn’t seen before... A Necromancer. Now, shadows stir in alleyways. Skeletons rise. And across the city, whispers grow of a terrifying new figure haunting the night. Will Thalia use her powers to become the hero she always admired? Or is she fated to become the thing even monsters fear? (I will be uploading this story on Royalroad.com)

Introduction One: When Jiang Shouzhong finally resolved to help his wife vanquish demons and uphold the righteous path of the human world, he saw nothing but piles of white bones. Standing atop the battlefield of Asuras, the demoness was none other than his former wife. —— Introduction Two: Above the temple halls, beneath the rivers and lakes, where the world of humans and demons divide, along the righteous and evil paths, countless charismatic individuals weave lives full of fireworks, unable to exhaust the tales of snow, moon, wind, and flowers. Kings and generals, peddlers and pawnbrokers, scholars and swordsmen, fiends and phantoms, they are all but pages in a book—each of varying thickness, some with twists and turns, others dull and ordinary, filled with ups and downs, joy and sorrow, or a mix of good and evil, with causes and effects unending. And the book of Jiang Shouzhong's life is undoubtedly the most captivating of all. ——

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit. Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world! To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps: 1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets. 2. Subdue and vanquish the demon. 3. Take her cultivation technique for myself. Awesome! I'm already invincible! ———————— Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television: Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today? Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me. Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife? Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose. Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right? Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Many centuries ago, when the first demons set foot on the Land of Man, they brought with them a tide of fire and fear. For the first time, humanity trembled. But the war did not last forever — the demons were vanquished, cast back into the depths of hell, and peace slowly returned to the world. Yet, the scars of that age never fully healed. Before their banishment, the demons had defiled human blood, fathering children through mortal women — abominations known as Drakes. Seen as unholy by the High Church, the Drakes were hunted to extinction in a brutal crusade. All but one. Darius Drake, the sole survivor. The Church spared him, not out of mercy, but because they needed him. When the seals of hell begin to crack open once more and the shadows of old rise again, they send him to do what no man can — kill the returning demons. But fate has other plans. The demons are no longer mindless beasts — they move with purpose. Whispers speak of the old gods stirring from their slumber, and the world teeters on the brink of a new war. In the midst of it all stands Darius — neither man nor demon — cursed by his blood, driven by vengeance, and caught in a battle far greater than himself. Scattered across the earth lie the Keystones — remnants of the gods' last will, holding unimaginable power. Who will claim them? And where are they hidden? This is the story of Darius Drake. The last of his kind. The first to challenge the gods.

After fighting in the tumultuous Holy War against the Devil and Demon King for half a century, Mason, with the sacrifice of those he held dear, was finally able to vanquish his foes and bring about an end to the Holy War. With the Demon King's fall came the Devil's end, as God, the great Creator and Saviour of humanity, put the treacherous abomination to rest, and ushered in 100 years of respite. Yet, despite this, all was for nought in Mason’s eyes. As decades passed, an incessantly seeping regret continued to poison his heart. The regret of not being strong enough.

And it was on that fateful day that he would finally know the truth, a hidden ploy of two men which changed the fates of countless lives. A truth which would forever alter his own fate, pushing him along a path of vengeance and struggles across a cosmos much grander than once thought.

In the dawn of time, a family of ordinary sailors and fishermen unknowingly stumbles upon a fate that would forever alter their destiny. A goddess, angered by their alleged act of theft against her, cursed them to sail the seas eternally, plundering treasures and pillaging wealth. And they came to be known as the first pirates to ever exist. This curse, however, came with an unexpected twist; immortality. For centuries, the family navigated the treacherous waters, exploiting their newfound gift, to amass power and riches. They became the stuff of legend, feared and revered by all who crossed their path. Their dreaded name, "The Damned Ones," struck terror into the hearts of both men and gods. Years passed, and the goddess, seemingly capricious, lifted the curse, allowing the family to set foot on land once again. But this freedom came with a catch; their immortality remained, a double-edged sword that rendered them invincible and more formidable. And as the ages went by, the family's exploits became the tales told in myths and legends, but they themselves, lived among the humans. They built civilizations, sowed chaos, and reveled in their unparalleled power. Even the powerful rulers and other immortal factions trembled at the mention of their name.

From a crack in the heavens, a legion of armored warriors descended—each radiating golden brilliance, their swords shimmering with divine power. Standing tall amidst the celestial glow was Chen Da, his laughter booming like thunder. “Hahahaha!” he roared. “With Saint-rank Paladins under my command, I shall reign as the Supreme King! All lands shall bow before me!” Not far from him, atop a mountain scorched black by flame, stood Wang Ping, eyes burning with pride. Behind him soared colossal shadows—Demigod-ranked Dragons, their scales glistening with ancient power. “Let the world chat scream,” Wang Ping sneered. “I care not. I summon flame and fury! Whoever dares stand in my path shall be reduced to ashes!” The world chat buzzed with chaos—lords boasting, kingdoms clashing, wars igniting. Yet, none of them noticed the silence of the true sovereign. Far from the battlefield, in a towering obsidian castle above the clouds, Su Ping rested on a throne carved from the bones of fallen gods.

She knelt before him, her voice low and reverent. “My King… the God Realm has fallen. None dared speak your name… and now, none remain to resist it.” Su Ping opened his eyes—eyes that held galaxies and ruin. While the others were still dreaming of conquest, he had already ascended beyond mortal reach. The heavens themselves bowed in silence. The world chat roared on—oblivious, arrogant. But Su Ping? She came after slaying supreme god of heaven for her king who has been waiting foe her arrival Note: This novel may contain some sexual acts so proceed with caution.....
