In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

In this tale of misfortune and unexpected companionship, our protagonist must navigate through the trials of a harsh reality, questioning fate and finding strength in the unlikeliest of allies.

In the bustling and noisy modern metropolis, Ye Chen once stood at the pinnacle of wealth, with a personal fortune of 400 billion yuan in his hands. His name was like a thunderclap in the business world, an object of admiration and envy for countless people. However, fate played an extremely cruel joke on him, and a sudden accident brought his life to an abrupt end. When Ye Chen regained consciousness again, he found himself miraculously reborn and thrown back sixty years ago. The world before his eyes was both strange and familiar. The dilapidated streets and simple houses all told of the poverty and backwardness of that era. And he himself was no longer the glorious business magnate but a despised, penniless gambler. His wife, the woman who had once accompanied him through thick and thin, was now full of disappointment and determination, only begging him to sign the divorce papers to completely break free from this painful marriage. His father-in-law and mother-in-law hated him to the core. The looks they gave him seemed as if they wanted to devour him alive, wishing he could vanish from this world and never appear in their lives again. What was worse, those loan sharks who lent money at exorbitant interest rates were like wolves, closely watching him and constantly issuing threatening ultimatums for him to pay back the money. The slightest mistake would subject him to their ruthless and violent debt collection. However, Ye Chen was not crushed by this difficult situation. Relying on the memories and experiences of the sixty years from his previous life, he began his desperate counterattack. He knew full well the huge changes and opportunities that this era was about to usher in. Starting from small businesses on the street corners, he gradually accumulated his first pot of gold by making precise judgments about future business trends. As time went by, his business empire continued to expand, covering multiple fields such as manufacturing, real estate, and technology. The innovative products and business models he launched led the tides of the times time and time again, shocking the entire business world. During this process, he encountered the envy and suppression of countless competitors. They united to try to stop Ye Chen's rise. But Ye Chen, with his wisdom and courage, skillfully resolved one crisis after another and instead turned the attacks of his opponents into the driving force for his progress. In the game with various forces, Ye Chen gradually built a business empire that was unrivaled in the world. His enterprises spread all over the world, providing employment opportunities for countless people and promoting the development of the global economy. And he himself, from a despised gambler, had become a respected business legend. Finally, standing at the top of his business empire, Ye Chen looked back on the past with mixed feelings. He had rewritten his fate with his rebirth and created a business myth that shook the world, becoming an eternal legend.

Due to a game started out of boredom, he encountered her, and from then on, through heaven and earth, he would never leave her side! Snippet One: Dugu Qianye sat in the way she used to practice in her previous life, beginning to examine her current body. The blocked meridians, the weak energy channels, this body was truly terrible. As she continued downward, she arrived at the Dantian, "Eh? What is this?" What should have been an empty Dantian was floating with a... uh, an egg? "Why is it an egg? Could my body have turned into a hen? Does it have to be this fantastical!" "I am not an egg, you're the egg! Your whole family are eggs!" Just as Dugu Qianye was conflicted between the egg and the hen, a childish voice arose in her mind. "Eh? The egg can talk?" Dugu Qianye was astonished. "Damn it, I've already told you, I am not an egg!" the egg fumed. Snippet Two: Watching Dan Jingtian eating and exhaling from being burned at the same time, Dugu Qianye suddenly felt like teasing him. After thinking, she said, "I am a child from the mud pill family on Dot Street in Wuyou Town, next to Zixu City." Dan Jingtian rubbed the back of his head and said, "Zixu City, Wuyou Town, why haven't I heard of any of them? Also, what’s a mud pill?" "Stupid!" Mo Ziqing tapped Dan Jingtian's head, "Remove the city and town and read it again." "Zixu, Wuyou, Dot, Mud Pill, ugh, it's all nonsense to trick you! No way, brother, are you playing me?" Snippet Three: "Hey, that woman punched a hole in the sky." Ci Hun appeared in front of Zi Xiao and said wickedly. "Oh?" Zi Xiao looked up at him indifferently and said, "Just a hole in the sky. Go, find someone to fix that hole." "That woman also ripped a hole in that man’s pants, right on the butt." Ci Hun continued. "What?" The man, who had been casual just a moment ago, jumped to his feet, his bewitching face filled with rage, "A hole in the butt? Dare to show his butt in front of my woman, come, let's go chop his butt off!" Ci Hun was speechless, saying, "That was done by the woman." "Still, chop it off! Can't even protect his own butt, might as well chop it off." Snippet Four: Dugu Qianye looked at the person tied up like a rice dumpling in front of her, stroked her chin, and said, "I've decided, I'm going to rob. Hand over everything valuable you have on you!" "I don't have any money," Mang Qianjun said indignantly, looking at Dugu Qianye. "What? No money? Then what's the point of keeping you around! Xiaohuo, light a fire," Dugu Qianye said somberly. "Wait, wait, I haven't finished yet," Mang Qianjun shouted, "I don't have money, but I have the entire Endless Hell. You can rob it!"

The dimly lit room was cloaked in a shroud of secrecy, its walls lined with maps, photographs, and cryptic notes that spoke of unseen dangers and tangled networks. The air was thick with the scent of old paper and cigar smoke, remnants of a world where power was wielded in the shadows. In the center of the room stood a figure, his presence commanding and ominous. Ivan Petrov, the feared Russian mafia leader, was a man whose name had become synonymous with fear and control. His reputation for cruelty and cunning was legendary, and his influence extended far beyond the criminal underworld. He was a man who thrived in darkness, pulling the strings of power from behind the scenes. Petrov's gaze was fixed on a map spread out before him, dotted with various locations and coded symbols. His mind was racing, plotting the next move in a game of high-stakes manipulation and deceit. The room's dim lighting cast deep shadows on his face, emphasizing the harsh lines of his expression. "There are always new players on the board," Petrov mused, his voice a low, gravelly whisper. "And every player has a weakness to exploit." Across from him, a shadowy figure emerged from the corner, stepping into the faint light. This was not an ordinary operative; this was a figure of enigma and danger, known only by whispers and rumors. The Broker, a mysterious and elusive figure, was as much a legend as Petrov himself. Their meeting was one of necessity and mutual benefit, but the stakes were high, and trust was a currency neither could afford. "The game is changing, Petrov," The Broker said, their voice carrying a cold, calculated edge. "The dynamics are shifting, and new players are emerging. Your empire is vulnerable." Petrov's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint reflecting in them. "I am aware of the threats," he replied, his tone laced with menace. "But I have survived this long by adapting and eliminating any threat to my power. Tell me what you know." The Broker stepped closer, revealing a set of documents and photographs that detailed a series of operations and individuals connected to a new threat. These were not mere notes but a roadmap to a larger scheme—a scheme that could disrupt the delicate balance of power Petrov had worked so hard to maintain. "This," The Broker said, placing the documents on the table, "is a precursor to what could be a major upheaval. There are those who seek to challenge your position, and they are more dangerous than you might realize. We need to act swiftly and decisively." Petrov studied the documents, his mind working furiously to assess the implications. The stakes had been raised, and the threat was imminent. The world of shadows was never static; it was a realm where power constantly shifted, and the price of failure was unforgiving. "This is not a game for the faint-hearted," Petrov said, his voice taking on a tone of grim resolve. "I will deal with these new threats as I have dealt with all others. But I will need allies and information. Tell me what you require." The Broker's lips curled into a faint smile, a gesture that spoke of hidden agendas and complex alliances. "We need to ensure that we are always a step ahead. I have my own interests and resources, but we must work together to neutralize these threats. The balance of power must be preserved." As they exchanged information and forged an uneasy alliance, the room seemed to close in around them, the weight of their plans and the shadows of their past looming large. The stage was set for a new chapter in a high-stakes game of power and deception, and the consequences of their actions would reverberate through their lives and the lives of those who would become entangled in their web. Unbeknownst to them, the paths they were about to cross would set in motion a series of events that would test their resolve and shape their futures. In the shadows of their pasts and the darkness of their plans, a new narrative was beginning to unfold

Scarred by betrayal and bound by blood, she has learned that in her world, trust is as dangerous as love. Enter Dante Moretti, his name is synonymous with fear throughout the city's elite. Ruthless, calculating, untouchable, cruel and cold hearted, the Mafia prince with an icy calm navigates the underworld, ruling it with an iron fist. But when their respective worlds collide, sparks fly, and what began as a volatile attraction quickly spirals into a forbidden passion. Dante's charismatic presence brings forth a fire within Liliana that she had never experienced and was forbidden to; whereas her innocence, defiance, and wildness call to him in desire and in intrigue, he finds that she challenges his coldness and detachment in ways that shake his very rigid control. As the dangerous attraction continues to intensify, Liliana is thrust into a world of secrets being deadly, fragile alliances, and enemies around every corner. The distinction between love and destruction grows increasingly fuzzy as their decisions bring them closer to the precipice of betrayal that might be their undoing. In a city where danger and desire walk hand-in-hand, Liliana and Dante must navigate a labyrinth of passion and peril, but the cost of their love may be their very lives. ______________________ Please support me, this is my first time writing a novel.
