Now, with the ninth civilization on the brink of collapse, the apocalypse has arrived, and nearly 30 billion people have had their memories erased before being thrown into a game of survival. Logan Lane felt very confused when he suddenly found himself on a small island, only seven meters wide and seven meters long. Just a moment ago, he remembered lying in a hospital bed. He looked around. The island had only one evergreen tree and a tall, weathered stone pillar. The sky above was bright, but the ocean around him looked dark and endless. “What is happening? I was in a hospital just now… how am I here?” he said to himself, voice trembling. Then an electronic, emotionless voice spoke in his mind: “Welcome to the Survival Games. You are a survivor from the ninth batch of civilizations. There are five ‘realms of hardship’ in this world: the Arcane Ice Sea, the Eclipse Forest, the Ironhearts Domain, the Dread Sands, and the Celestial Skyline. Each realm has different rules, but the goal is always the same: survive.”

Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way.

"Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

Shadowed Ascendance: The Forbidden System (SA:TFS) follows the journey of Reziel Blackwood, a lowborn orphan whose life takes a drastic turn when he accidentally becomes bound to a mysterious and malevolent system known only as “The Forbidden System.” Initially weak and overlooked by a world that values noble titles and magical bloodlines, Reziel soon discovers that the system’s power grows by feeding on darker energies—ambition, desire, and even conflict. Though each forbidden ability grants him new strengths, it also tests his moral limits, blurring the line between hero and villain. Surviving in an empire teeming with magical academies, dangerous beasts, and hidden conspiracies, Reziel is thrust into a life of constant trials. He crosses paths with women of various backgrounds and agendas—a fierce knight seeking redemption, a cunning sorceress in pursuit of forbidden knowledge, a sheltered noble lady entranced by his dangerous aura, and more—forming unexpected alliances and romantic entanglements. Torn between forging genuine bonds and using others as stepping stones to greater power, Reziel’s journey is marked by both epic battles and quieter, slice-of-life moments where he struggles to find normalcy in a world he’s slowly reshaping. As his influence grows, whispers of an antihero on the rise spread across kingdoms, challenging the existing power structures. With the threat of ancient evils looming and rival factions vying to control or destroy him, Reziel must confront the question: Will he succumb to darkness to protect those he cares about, or find a more complicated path that balances ambition and compassion? Shadowed Ascendance: The Forbidden System combines action, adventure, romance, magic, and the grit of an antihero’s path—perfect for readers who love a “weak to strong” progression laced with moral complexity and harem intrigue.

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.
