May my pneuma allow me to take this mortal body to challenge these beings! May my axe resonate with my heart! In the end, only humanity will remain, by hook or by crook! ------------------------- Cover made using AI.

"From now on, you can stay in this room and live the rest of your life here for all I care," were the words that condemned Li Na to a lifetime of isolation and despair at the hands of her own family. Betrayed by her sister, Li Jing, who injected her with a lethal dose of poison, Li Na's world faded into darkness, filled with a deep sense of sadness and betrayal. But fate had a different plan for Li Na. Instead of the expected descent into the afterlife, she found herself transported to a new existence, her younger self staring back at her from the mirror. Overwhelmed by this inexplicable rebirth, tears welled in her eyes as she made a solemn vow to herself: to seek justice and make her family pay for the pain they had inflicted upon her. As Li Na battles with the struggles of her past, a new surprise awaits. … With their faces just an inch apart, he softly asked her, "Do you trust me?" tracing her lips with one finger, lightly.  With a quivering smile, she nodded and whispered, "Yes, I trust you." To her Tang Zheng was the light sent by the heavens to shed her tears away. As Li Na embraces this new chapter of her life, a veil of mystery envelopes her path. The shadows whisper, and destiny's secrets slowly unveil, shaping Li Na's fate in ways she never imagined. Note: Daily Updates

What could drive a man of his stature to such an irrational act? The answer lies in Astra's carefully concealed secret — her ability to cast spells and foresee the future. Yet Astra is a woman of conviction, refusing to use her mystical talents to chase wealth. Unmoved by her defiance, Jiang Ting exerts his dominance, weaving a web of pressure, coercion, and calculated manipulation. But as sparks of defiance and dominance clash, an unexpected and forbidden emotion ignites between them, drawing them ever closer to a line neither thought they'd cross. Under the weight of Jiang Ting’s relentless demands and their volatile relationship, Astra finally breaks her vow and uses her spells to fuel Jiang Ting's ambitions, turning his already formidable empire into a financial juggernaut. But the universe does not grant power without cost. The karmic consequences of using magic for profit begin to darken their path, each success shadowed by an invisible debt they cannot repay. As they navigate a world of cutthroat real estate deals, volatile stock trades, and risky foreign exchange maneuvers, they are pursued not only by external rivals but also by the unseen forces that seek to reclaim balance. Amidst these dangers, Astra begins to unravel Jiang Ting’s true motivations — secrets that could shatter everything they have built and redefine the very nature of their bond. Together, they walk a tightrope over a chasm of power, destiny, and fate. The question remains: when the final reckoning comes, will their alliance be their salvation — or their ultimate destruction?

After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn.

Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky.
