In a world where magic defines power, she is labeled a succubus reincarnation—a marriage breaker, a stain on society. Some call her Lilith. Once a prostitute, she defies the stigma attached to her past. Does she care about the whispers and judgments? Absolutely not! Regret? It’s a foreign concept. She doesn’t lose sleep over being sold as a sexual slave; instead, she embraces her identity. How else would she have discovered that she was destined for greatness, fueled by a magic deemed uncouth and evil? In a society where sexual magic is feared, the truth remains: it is a source of immense power. Yes, if left unchecked, her seductive prowess could drain the life force of her partners, leaving them lifeless. But Lilith sees this as an opportunity, not a curse. Determined to transform the so-called "good-for-nothings" into powerful entities, she sets out to teach them the art of seduction. Her mission? To harness desire as a means of acquiring power and resources. Ever wondered what a male prostitute might bring to the table? Prepare to have your wildest imaginations challenged, as Lilith makes the impossible possible. Her vision is bold: to create an industry of desire, where both men and women thrive, bending the world to her will. Her ultimate goal? To rule the world and prove that those with her kind of magic are neither cursed nor evil. They are conquerors, destined to claim their rightful place in the spotlight.

"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.

My surname is Wu, and everyone calls me Little Wu. I've seen those Mobile Battle Armors deep underground that surpass human imagination, and I've also witnessed someone in the asteroid belt of space punch a star to pieces with a single Fist. Buddy, listen up, here are some of my fight insights: When fighting the Dragon Clan, don't listen to what they say, just keep hitting them until they're dead; Dealing with fairies is a bit tricky, it's best not to let them see you, and to take sneaky shots; When it comes to orcs, there are two words for it, wrestling naked! If a Devil is looking for trouble, just desperately twist its horns, and it's bound to kneel; Alright, I'm off to fight in a bar now, more detailed content when I get back.

Ensure that he gives the patient the ‘special treatment'.” “Huh? But Young Master Si is alright.” “I was referring to the Wang Family’s son.” “...” * Many years later, their little bundle of joy pointed at the television screen, which was showcasing The Nation’s Most Desirable Men and Women. The little one stared at the man beside him, looking very confused. “What’s wrong, little one?” the man asked, radiant with fatherly gentleness. The little one pointed at the television hesitantly, going back and forth multiple times before finally asking, “Are you my daddy or mommy?” The man’s face darkened instantly. “I’m your father, of course!” “But they say that my daddy is the real prince charming, and prince charming married you!” The little one explained with a serious look on his face. The man was speechless.

“He’s not coming”, Serena said not knowing how to break the news to her best friend that she had just been dumped on her wedding day. “What?”, Maya laughed as she thought this was one of the other jokes Serena made to cheer her up as she was nervous. “Here”, said Serena, giving her a letter… “he dropped this for you”. Maya the letter and opened it… her hands shaking as she was just about to confirm her worst fear. As Maya's eyes scanned the letter, her face crumbled, and her body began to shake.

She felt like she was drowning in a sea of despair, unable to catch her breath. The letter slipped from Maya's fingers, floating gently to the floor as she collapsed onto the bed, her body wracked with sobs.

With a deep breath, Maya picked up the letter and began to read...
