Synopsis: Ren had always lived a peaceful life in a small village, unaware of his true origins. But on his sixteenth birthday, everything changed. For years, he had been haunted by vivid nightmares of a past life—a life filled with bloodshed, power, and betrayal. Little did he know, these dreams were not mere figments of his imagination, but fragments of a forgotten identity. One fateful night, guided by a mysterious voice, Ren discovers a hidden cave behind his village, where he uncovers a pitch-black pearl surrounded by ancient ruins. Upon touching it, his mind is flooded with memories of countless weapon techniques, a cultivation technique called Chaos Severing, and a powerful ability known as Heaven Refining Physics—an ability that allows him to absorb any form of energy and make it his own. But there’s a catch: to unlock its true power, Ren must first reach a certain cultivation threshold. As Ren awakens to the truth of his past life, he learns that he was once a Slaughter God—a being of immense strength, feared and revered across the heavens. In his previous life, he was betrayed by those he loved most, leading to his violent downfall. Now reborn, Ren must navigate a world that’s unaware of his true nature while unlocking the power that lies dormant within him. But as he slowly regains fragments of his past, Ren’s personality begins to shift. The kindness and naivety that once defined him begin to erode as anger and vengeance take root. The betrayal of his lover, Amelia, and the corruption of the heavenly beings awaken a ruthless side of him—one that will stop at nothing to tear down the very heavens that betrayed him. As Ren’s power grows, so does the danger around him. The gods, sensing the return of a being who once threatened their rule, will stop at nothing to destroy him. But Ren is no longer the naive young man he once was—he is the Evil God, and no one is safe from his wrath.

In a realm where magic and alchemy intertwine Aroza stood at the threshold of her new life as the bride to the infamous Sapphire Duke. The wedding was magnificent, draped in a veil from head to toe that shimmered like starlight; yet beneath this façade of elegance lay an unyielding wall built from suspicion and guardedness. The Sapphire Duke harbored a lingering doubt about Aroza's loyalty, believing her beauty masked ulterior motives inspired by ambition rather than true affection. Enveloped by daunting responsibilities toward not only herself but also her five companions who depended on her success for their futures, Aroza resolved to prove herself as an invaluable ally rather than a perceived threat lurking beneath royal glitter.

He was once an honor man who sacrificed himself as a police man for the criminal to relinquish his possession of the innocent girl. Born again into the Azure Mystic World, he was reborn into one of the most powerful families. But destiny does not allow even the most powerful of people to have an easy ride right from the very start of this new life. The essence of his physique-a thing old and unclassified in this world-had mysteriously been drawn out into the darkness while still locked within his mother's womb; sucked out, it would seem, through a vent in his wall by his twin brother. Even with that went his talents; he was left with merely being labeled as "the waste" by the people around. Mocked by his relatives, friends, and clan members, he was a stain in the reputation of his family. Was he indeed destined to do nothing, or was fate merely messing him around in a twisted game? As such memories of his previous life started emerging in him, he eventually found himself at the threshold. Was he going to stick with his family, who had never loved him even a little? Or would he leave them and enter into a different world, one way beyond anybody's imagination, all those who were against him, where people looked down upon him? Finally, when he decided to leave his clan, he encountered an old man severely ill and at the point of death. Human instinct urged him to save the old man. For saving his life, that old man gave him a weird herb and asked him to absorb its energy. He did, but his cultivation, already very weak, fell even lower with that. A bitter question raised within him: would he resent the man or consider this strange occurrence yet another trial on his journey? This road was his to walk alone, well-paved with only those trials that only he could endure. He was not born to be ordinary; he was born to be invincible, to conquer the past, present, and future.

I could hear the din from the bar as I exited my SUV and I was still almost a block away. What a shame! I knew from long experience that would change as soon as my foot crossed the threshold. I tend to have that effect on people. I’m six feet six inches tall and I weigh an even 250 pounds—all of it broad shouldered muscle. My Body Mass Index at my last physical was less than four percent. My light brown hair is styled exactly the way it’s been for the past fifteen years—ever since I first joined the Navy. Sure enough, no sooner had I taken my first step into the bar than the noise died. When I turned left and stepped up to the bar the people there couldn’t back away fast enough. I took a stool in the middle of the empty space and sat down, waiting for the bartender to approach. “I’m not looking for any trouble.” “Good…neither am I. Give me a ginger ale.” He reached under the bar for a glass and some ice. Twenty seconds later he slid the glass in my direction. I pulled a fiver from my pocket and dropped it on the bar. He ignored it and walked away to draw a few beers and pour some wine. It looked to me like this was a pretty cheap crowd. Checking up and down the bar all I could see were longnecks and drafts. I reached into the lower left pocket of my cargo pants. Like almost everything else I was wearing they were a true deep navy blue. My heavy shoes were black as was my wide belt. My belt said as much about me as the bold white lettering across my chest. Just below the American flag over my heart were the letters that were my life—U. S. MARSHAL. On my right hip was my nickel plated .44 Magnum Colt Python, just behind two speed loaders in addition to the twenty-four rounds on the belt. On my left hip was my ASP Talon baton—every bit as deadly a weapon in my hands as the revolver. A pouch at the back of my right hip held my stainless steel handcuffs and its partner on the opposite side held my radio—my link to my backup team. I placed the photo flat on the bar as the bartender returned to me. “I’ll have another,” I said in a loud voice, continuing so I wouldn’t be overheard. “Don’t pick it up and don’t make a production of looking at it. I’ve been told that he comes here a lot. Is he here tonight? If he is and he escapes because you’ve given me away I’ll see to it that you’re arrested for obstruction of justice.” He gulped a few times but did as he was told, nodding slightly in response. I continued almost at a whisper. “If my nose is pointing to twelve o’clock, my right ear to three, the back of my head to six, and my left ear to nine, tell me where he is. Again, don’t point or do anything obvious and we’ll be fine.” He pretended to wipe the bar as he whispered, “About 4:30 with his back to you.” I picked up the reflection in the mirror then asked, “Red shirt with black and white stripes, looking away from me?” He nodded again. Now, in my normal tone of voice I asked, “Where’s the men’s room?”

# WORLDDOMINATION Forlan transmigrated to a future world invaded by unknown monsters. In order to fight against the monsters, everyone here had a battle chip planted in them. With the aid of the battle chips, humans could improve their combat level through practices and battles. They could also accumulate more attribute points. When their related attribute points reached the threshold, they could pick up specific job classes, such as Mage, Swordsman and Archer, and learn more advanced techniques. However, after Forlan accumulated 10 points, or even after illuminating all the attribute points, he still could not reach the threshold for any of the job classes. He lamented, “Do transmigrators not have human rights?” Angry, he used up all his points on his mana bar and planned to goof off for the rest of his life. To his surprise, the door to the new world had thus opened and humans had a brand new understanding of how the chips worked. Someone exclaimed, “What? Is this the Fire Meteor Shower, a level 10 magic that only transmigrators can unleash?” Forlan answered nonchalantly, “This is just the fireball technique, but I unleashed 1000 fireballs in one go.”
