Oak woke up in the thousand beasts mountain range, confused at his reincarnation, and his past life's memories coming back to him. The world was not safe if his location was any indication, and the fact that cultivation was the main theme of this world made his awakened self face palm. But at least in this life, he can make up for past desires of his monotone life with only having some brief color at the end of it. A/N: Just so you guys know, this has a similar theme of novels like Journey of the Fate destroying emperor, Reverend insanity, and Er gen novels. I'm not a new author if you look at my profile, and the reason I stopped was because I was dissatisfied with my previous skills. Now I feel that they are at a good level, and I hopefully will try to go back to those novels I started and bring them back to life. Also the mentioned books above are really good so you should check them out. There will be no harem there will be only 2 wives and i already have a idea on what they are. Also like the first 5-8 chapters are a little rough but it does get better once i got the flow of the story down. I will try to get 5 chapters a week. I also will always get at least 1000 words every single chapter.

The First Great War was against a single person—the Soul Emperor. Years later, the Second Great War started because the Inheritor of the Soul Emperor wanted to open a portal to the mysterious and dangerous Demon Realm. As such, while the Soul Emperor had many contributions to the magical islands suspended in the sky, his name was still considered a taboo. Now, hundreds of years later, his power surfaced again. A young human, believed to be dead after a failed operation on an island filled with monsters, ended up inheriting the forbidden legacy. [Unnaturally high soul power detected.] [A body with a divine rank bloodline detected.] [All conditions to activate the system have been met.] As the Inheritor, Zed Deverux’s mission was simple.

All he needed was the body of a species, and he could turn it into a wearable skin! [You can become a demon. Do you want to read the 'haunted village' script?] [You can become a poisonous lamia. Do you want to read the 'gem-loving snake' script?] [You can become a dragoman. Do you want to read the 'dark dragon's harem' script?] Aidan soon realized the world's entertainment lacked variety, so he decided to create the first movie theater. And those who tried to stop him?

Then, everything changed when an incident awakened the Divine Yin Lotus Seed within him. It gave him hope—a cure for his illness and the power to rise again. But Seth soon learned that unlocking its full potential required one thing… The sacrifice of celestial blood. "Dual cultivation is actually the cure to my illness?"

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do.

In the year 2000, the System arrived on Gaia and changed the world of mankind. The environment became volatile and organisms evolved. To the humans, the System offered a class-base progression with a myriad of skills just like in old RPG games.

Party adventures, dark schemes, and veiled threats would accompany Drai throughout his journey.
