Lin Rui was reborn, reborn in the year 4161, two thousand years later. In this era of highly advanced technology, where the peak of human biotechnology had collided and fused with the culture of Tianji Star, a new path for human evolution was born—'Zhi Zhuang Wudao', capable of granting eternal life and transcendence beyond the universe. The entire society esteemed the strong, and it was considered an honor to practice Zhi Zhuang Wudao. There was even a group of 'Variant Walkers' who stood at the pinnacle of the social pyramid, looming over the world with arrogance. At first, Lin Rui couldn't fathom the meaning of his rebirth. He merely adapted to this era out of a sense of responsibility. It wasn't until one day that the 'Battle Spirit Ring', which had come into existence alongside Lin Rui, captured its first Battle Spirit. Lin Rui could let the Battle Spirit possess him for combat, and could also copy all the martial skills and abilities mastered by the Battle Spirit. The Battle Spirits he captured grew increasingly powerful— Lin Rui began to realize this era was his to own. A 'Super Abyssal', who would overshadow the future, began his rapid development journey at the Tianji Star's ninth base.

Purpose : This novel isn’t about profit or fame. I wrote it to strengthen my own manipulation skills. It also warns readers of how dangerous these techniques can be. Who It’s For : Anyone—no matter their background—can learn these tactics. Each chapter builds on the last, revealing deeper methods. Read with caution: knowledge is power, but also a burden. Warning : The story gets darker as it unfolds. Psychological harm, twisted motives, and moral conflict lie ahead. If you’re uncomfortable with intense manipulation, proceed with care. Quick Story Summary : Sorin Vex hits rock bottom in a grim, neon-lit city. A devilish ex-spy mentor named Ravenor shows him how to bend minds. What starts as survival soon becomes an obsession with absolute control.  Further Insight : I extracted data from 15 different books on manipulation. Over 150 techniques—gathered with AI assistance—appear naturally in the plot. Each chapter reveals these methods in realistic, often disturbing scenarios.

Brielle is one of the few female hunters at the association. Dealing with useless trainees every six months, she has a low tolerance for bullshit. She no longer believes in love, and nothing will change her mind after what happened to her. She believes that the only thing she can love and trust is her job, where she helps protect the defenceless by killing those who use their abilities to get everything they want. Hunting is a thrill that she enjoys more than life itself. Having a minimalist life, the only thing at home she cherishes is her painting. A vampire that refuses to choose a partner for his sister. Ketan will do anything to protect his loved ones, even kill those that threaten his livelihood. Usually, he is calm, gentle, and collected. He stays hidden away from everyone when he does not want anything to do with individuals until the day he is captured and locked away in a dungeon. After that moment, his life changed for good. Cursing the blood that he drinks, Ketan fights against the pull of drinking more blood from the person that donated the blood. An Excerpt from the book: Brielle throws her arms around Ketan’s neck. “I was so worried about you. I did not know what you were going to do or if you would survive.” Ketan smiled and accepted her hug. “I am sorry for worrying you. I had to do what needed to be done. Besides, I knew that this was going to happen and be as painful as it was.” Brielle starts sobbing in his embrace. “I think that you should take what you need from me, Ketan. You will not be able to stand the bloodlust soon… will you?” Pushing her away before losing control. Ketan moves away from her weakly. “Stay back. I am not in control of myself right now. You should not even be here right now. Leave me alone!” Ketan holds his hand out to stop her from coming closer to him. “I can hear your pulse racing; it’s deafening.” “You were fine a moment ago; now you are you pushing me away, Ketan? I can help you.” Brielle leans down towards him and gently pulls him into her arms. “No, stop. I can’t control myself, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. I am not a sedated beast; I lust for every drop of your sweet blood that I hear pumping through your veins, but I must resist. Otherwise, I will harm you in the worst way possible.” Ketan pushes her back and teleports deeper into the cave. “Stay back before I begin to acquire a taste for your blood. It is a deadly thing to tempt fate once again.” Brielle continues to walk into the deep dark cave towards him. “Ketan, I trust you more than I have trusted others. I know that you will not kill me. Just look at how fearful you are right now.” She finally reaches him again. Crying, Ketan grabs her from behind, sits her in his lap. One arm wrapped around her waist, the other in her hair, pulling off the right exposing her neck. Slowly he lowers his lips to her neck, licking the surface testing the flesh. His fangs rest at the hollow of her neck before carefully breaking the skin. He starts to drink her blood deeply, but as he drank, he slowly stopped and lifted his face up, crying while holding Brielle against his body crying. Blood leaking from the bite marks while some drips down his chin. Her body was being held up by Ketan, and her eyes were now closed. Her body seemed lifeless in his arms. She started to slide forward as a deadweight. Ketan catches her and holds her princess style in his lap, rocking back and forth. Crying fresh tears.

"Martial Arts World..." Death murmured, shocked by the turn of the events. How could he, primordial being of the afterlife, get tricked by a mere human? Not just a mere human, but also earthling, race that was weakest of the twenty realms. Death realized the extent of his mistake. An earthling had just jumped into the river of the reincarnation, where he definitely didn't belong. It was too late. The damage has been done. The matter was now out of his hands. "Kiernan Hunter..." ... Remake of the Martial Arts System, and while the concept stays the same, the story is completely different. A few names, etc, stays the same, but mostly whole new story. I've wanted to do this for a while, and now I had finally motivation to do it.

The cultivation world is not for the weak, the journey to the top has always been filled with bloodshed. Those with weak willpower will be trampled to death. In a world where Cultivation Arts made it possible to shatter mountains and drain the seas, only with power can one survive. Kyrell Zade Evander, a transmigrated earthling found himself thrown into the chaotic world of cultivation as the Young Master of a Minor Clan.

In a world not unlike our own, the rapid progress of martial arts had empowered a small group of rebels with supernatural abilities and fostered an unprecedented uprising. The long lived Emperor Taizong's vast army had been routed by the bandit Huang Chao and his gang of commoners. The emperor himself was forced to fend for his life and the fate of his empire in single combat. For the very first time it was personal prowess, not governance and strategy, that dictated the tide of history. Although the emperor had won the battle and forced the rebels into hiding, all semblance of order had been lost and the country splintered, as what little remained of the central government could not reestablish full control of their territory. The countless sects that made up the martial arts society rose up to the occasion to fill the gaps left by the ailing empire, be it to protect or to exploit the common people. Almost two hundred years later, what was once the martial arts underworld had become the forefront of society. What were once sects were now kingdoms, while armies had turned into lone, prodigious swords, upon the edges of which teetered the fates of countless thousands. As law became whim, as technology stagnated, as society regressed, as chaos ruled the land... ...only a single question ran through the minds of the warlords responsible for it all.

Wang Yuan and his classmates were granted varying ranks of cultivation talents—some received the highest, while others the lowest. Unfortunately for him, he ended up being the only ones with the lowest cultivation rank. His friends abandoned him, sect leaders looked down on him, and people ignored his existence. Wang Yuan lived in misery with a low cultivation rank. “You’re weak!” “You’re nothing but an ant before me!” “Get out of my sight before I purify your soul for eternity!” But everything changed when Wang Yuan received another ability—Dark Arts Cultivation Path. This allowed him to reach higher realms of cultivation than anyone else could ever achieve. Armed with his astonishing and terrifying power, Wang Yuan vowed to become the strongest among all cultivators. If the heavens had a will for him, then Wang Yuan would defy heaven's will. “Anyone who stands in my way must die!”

When all nine Stars were opened completely, it would be equivalent to having nine Dantian. (Most unique point to the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.) This is a Yang (阳) cultivation method, specific to males. Once he managed to completely condense his FengFu Star, he would be able to store an extremely large amount of spiritual energy. Then he could attempt to agglomerate his blood vessels and enter the Blood Condensation stage, thus becoming a true martial artist. As the FengFu Star grew larger, his physical body also changed with it and became stronger. The FengFu Star was just like a spring nourishing his whole body. His current transformation made him greatly different from his old self. Each Star requires ‘nine transformations’ to become perfect.” The other most peculiar aspect of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was that while ordinary cultivators had to cross only nine Heavenstages for each cultivation realm, Long Chen has to go through thirteen Heavenstages to enter the next realm. Besides, after the ninth Heavenstage, each increase allowed his power to explosively multiply.
