The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.

This is a world where pain is someone else's pleasure, and pleasure sometimes leads to the worst pain. This is a dystopian world where the kingdom of Orin, a large kingdom that rules across seas of land, protects itself from the outside world by its large walls--known as the Iron of Orin. It's been decades since the people of the kingdom have even heard of stories of other's venturing outside of the wall--what's beyond it? What is the kingdom hiding so ruthlessly that it's forbidden to cross over to the other side? One man is quite curious of the wonders and evils that await beyond that wall, but he has other worries to--well--worry about. Introducing Alaric William Smith, a man known to be one of the greatest inventors of his generation. He's tall, smart, handsome, a bit mad (as inventors usually are), and a pocket full of sunshine that grabs the attention of many. Only problem is, he ends of receiving the attention of the dark Mage of the Tower, Maggie, who yearns for his love and hand in marriage, something he really doesn't want to give, yet may have to if Maggie earns the King and Queen's blessing. Desperate for a solution, Alaric needs to find a way out if this situation, and fast. Oddly enough, it just so happens that Madam Bigod, a woman known for her unamused expression and callous nature, offers him a deal--persuade her pure son to indulge in romance with Alaric, and she'll bestow upon him any desire Alaric wishes. Oh, there is a bit of another problem that leaves Alaric in a bit of a pinch--it so happens that Madam Bigod isn't talking about her eldest son Cedar, but her youngest, Joan, Commander of the White Lilies and known to be the most coldest, ruthless man in the kingdom. Alaric has a lot on his plate, and it starts with capturing the steel heart of Commander Joan Agnes Bigod.

"The end of physics is mathematics, the end of mathematics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology." In a certain parallel dimension of 2012, the predicted doomsday arrived, and three consecutive days of darkness enveloped the whole world. Afterward, three thousand colorful pillars of light mysteriously appeared in major human gathering places around the globe. After the cataclysm, all humans, animals, and plants embarked on a path of evolution. In this world, humans were evolving, animals were evolving, and plants were also evolving. The humans standing at the top of the evolutionary pyramid were called gods. Animals and plants that reached the pinnacle of evolution were called monsters. After being hunted, Zhao Hao, the captain of the university basketball team, stepped into the colorful pillar of light and transmigrated into a brand-new world. With his activated attribute panel, he mysteriously gained the ability of inner vision and the power to fuse randomly dropped combat skills. From then on, he began to fight monsters, level up, and constantly evolve in this world. Welcome to the world of evolution, weak creatures. Now begin your journey of evolution!

In the fractured world of Aetheria, where Eastern cultivation collides with Western technomancy, 17-year-old Aiden Lin survives as a gutter rat in the steampunk slums of Anvil City. His life shatters when a brawl in an underground fight club awakens a forbidden inheritance: the Aetheric Crucible, a hybrid energy system fusing his mother’s spiritual meridians with his father’s quantum-alchemy research. Now hunted by both the Azure Peak Sect (who brand him a "pollution of Dao") and the Arcanum Parliament (who seek to dissect his biomechanical blood), Aiden discovers he is the living key to the Xuantian Mirror—an artifact that can rewrite reality itself. With the help of a rogue cultivator Ling Shuang (who wields a sword forged from orbital titanium) and a disgraced techno-shaman Lily (whose AI familiar speaks in hexagrams), Aiden navigates a world where alchemy is coded in Python and demonic tribulations manifest as data corruption. As they race to recover his parents’ lost research on "Aether-Mana Fusion," they uncover a conspiracy by the Church of Singularity—a cult merging Eastern soul-refining with Western transhumanism to devour all dimensions. From dragon-infested data centers beneath neon-lit pagodas to floating monasteries powered by stolen nuclear cores, Aiden must balance his dual heritage before the Chaos Engine erases the boundary between magic and physics. But when the Mirror reveals his future self leading the apocalypse, the ultimate battle becomes a war against destiny—and the cost of survival may require sacrificing the sister he swore to protect.
