Chen Yuan found that his superpowers refreshed every week. The first week, he noticed a red number attached to any object that exhibited signs of life, ranging from hundreds, thousands, to tens of thousands, and more. The smallest number he had ever seen was 0.00001, atop a teddy bear. A second later, a large truck crushed it. The second week, he discovered he could hear others' inner voices, uncontrollable. Whatever they thought, they would continuously pour into his head, keeping him from daring to visit places like subways and shopping malls. Moreover, he no longer dared to directly look at the girl with bangs sitting in the back seat who usually kept quiet... Subsequently, he refreshed other special abilities such as Dream Connection and Body Swapping. Several weeks later, his superpowers stopped updating. After several peaceful days, he was ready to return to his normal life. Yet, a girl wearing red stood under a gingko tree, tilted her head at him, and asked: "Can you see me?"

In a world where fate is dictated by the gods, Lorien awakens to a power that should not exist—the depths of chaos, an ancient force erased from history. His village is destroyed in a single night, and as the last survivor, he is thrust into an unforgiving battle against destiny itself. Marked as the new Sovereign, Lorien gains access to a cryptic system that grants him overwhelming abilities—but at a cost. Each skill he unlocks is tied to a trial, a test that warps reality itself. If he overcomes them, he grows stronger. If he fails, the world reshapes as if he never existed. But the deeper he delves into his power, the more he realizes the truth: he is not the first Sovereign of Chaos. Haunted by echoes of his predecessor’s downfall, Lorien must navigate a war between the Demon King’s legions, divine enforcers, and shadowy factions seeking to manipulate his fate. Alongside unexpected allies—including a mercenary with a dark past and a cunning rogue with secrets of her own—he uncovers the legend of a child born under a cursed star, one who holds the key to unshackling Chaos from its prison. Yet among all the betrayals and battles, one revelation shatters his resolve—his fate is entwined with a woman destined to become a god, a divine being created for one purpose: to kill him. With time running out, Lorien must defy prophecy, master the chaos within him, and challenge the very fabric of existence. Because if he fails, he won’t just lose his life—he’ll be erased from time itself. And in the end, only one truth remains: Chaos was never meant to be controlled.

In a realm where cultivators harness the energy of the heavens and earth to ascend to immortality, Li Wei is a lowly labourer in a forgotten part of the world called Luoyang, overlooked and underestimated. His life turned around when he discovers the *Eternal Flame Pendant*, a divine artifact lost to time. The pendant, forged by a primordial deity, contains the essence of the Eternal Flame—a source of infinite energy capable of incinerating the heavens or reigniting the spark of life itself. However, wielding such power comes at a cost: the flame consumes the user's lifeforce, and only those with a pure heart and unbreakable will can control it without being consumed. As Li Wei begins to unlock the pendant's secrets, he attracts the attention of powerful sects, demonic cultivators, and even celestial beings who seek to claim the artifact for their own purposes. With the help of a rogue cultivator, a spirit fox bound to the pendant, and a mysterious elder who knows more than he lets on, Li Wei must navigate a treacherous path of betrayal, ancient rivalries, and cosmic battles. As he grows stronger, Li Wei learns that the pendant is tied to a forgotten prophecy—one that foretells the rise of a cultivator who will either restore balance to the fractured world or plunge it into eternal darkness

In the world of Tenebrous, where darkness births monsters and shadows hold secrets, Kael emerges as an unlikely protagonist. Once a promising E-class hunter, his life was shattered when his clan was massacred and he was framed for their murder. Now branded as a traitor by the Hunter's Guild, Kael survives in the shadows, driven solely by his quest for revenge against those who destroyed everything he held dear. A mysterious awakening triggers the activation of a hidden system, marking Kael as its chosen vessel. This ancient power recognizes his rare Shadow Affinity – a trait occurring in perhaps one hunter in ten thousand – and sets him on a path toward unimaginable strength. As he navigates this new reality, Kael discovers he can manipulate darkness itself, moving unseen and striking from the very shadows. The story follows Kael's journey through a complex world where hunters are ranked from F-class novices to the legendary SSS-class masters who can reshape reality. Within this hierarchy, Kael must navigate treacherous political landscapes, forge unexpected alliances, and confront ancient mysteries while pursuing his vengeance. His path becomes intertwined with powerful forces – including enigmatic figures who seem to understand more about his destiny than they reveal. Through trials and tribulations, Kael evolves from a hunted traitor into something far more formidable. Each challenge pushes him closer to his goal of revenge, but also reveals deeper truths about Tenebrous and his place within it. As he rises through the ranks, he must confront whether his pursuit of vengeance will consume him entirely, or if he can forge a different path – one that balances his desire for justice with the weight of his growing power. Will Kael remain forever bound to the shadows of his past, or will he emerge as something greater – a force capable of reshaping the very fabric of Tenebrous?
