All the anger and frustration that the people around him were withholding finally found a way out. The vent was the green skinned lifeform that calmly stood in front of everyone in the square. Agitated people started crowding menacingly around the lifeform, almost as if they would be overcome with violence. "Wait, Wait, What the fuck are you talking about? We don't know who or what you are, and we don't care!" "Yeah! We wanna go home!" "Let us out!" "Yeah! You better let us leave or else we'll f" *BOOM* Right on sight, the heads of twenty odd people who were moving forward seemingly with the intent of stirring trouble all had their heads simultaneously explode. Jets of red blood squirted up from the exposed necks of those people, while the insides of their heads colored the outerwear of the bystanders around them. The steamy red blood immediately created a suffocating atmosphere. Screams and profanities abound as people attempted to move as far away from that green "demon". Some fell over on top of each other, crushing others in the process, others fell on the floor hyperventilating. A piece of flesh landed on Midas' face, but he hadn't even noticed as he was now trying to calm his heart rate while looking around trying to figure out if there was a way he could get away from this situation. "STOP!!", yelled the green lifeform while exuding a terrifying atmosphere about it, and immediately all in the area lost their ability to move or even speak. Midas had never felt such fear in his entire life. Every molecule of DNA in his body was telling him that at that moment in time, his life wasn't in his hands. All he could do was stay still and watch the green lifeform while his ears throbbed with the sound of his own racing heartbeat. "Now that I have your attention, let me continue with my explanation. I will explain this once and once only. The planetary body that you lower beings call 'Earth' has Awakened, and thus it has attained it's right to undergo Planetary Ascension. You all have been chosen by your planet and your performance from now on will determine what will happen to your home planet. If you succeed a whole new Universe will open up to you. Knowledge, and Wisdom that will teach you Evolution. However, If you fail, your planetary body will have it's right of existence revoked... That is … Death." "..." None of the Chosen could say anything at that moment, but their expressions held visions of disbelief, excitement, confusion and despair. Right then, there was a high pitched sound and almost immediately everyone realised that they could now move again. Many fell on the floor from their muscle strain and tense emotional states but that did not stop the green lifeform from continuing it's speech. "Well, it seems we're all on the same page. Now, let's begin the 7 Trials."

Adira's chamber, shrouded in dim candlelight, was heavy with anticipation. Her three husbands, each representing a distinct realm, stood before her. # First Husband: Tharros, the Demonic Dragon Tharros towered, his scaled physique rippling beneath his dark, tailored attire. Horns protruded from his forehead, and his eyes burned with fiery intensity. "My queen," he rumbled, "your return signals a new era." # Second Husband: Lyrien, the Incubus Lyrien's chiseled features and piercing emerald eyes exuded seductive charm. His dark wings unfolded, casting shadows on the walls. "We've missed your ... fiery spirit, Adira." # Third Husband: Kaidos, the White Snake Kaidos, coiled beside Adira's throne, raised his serpentine head. His piercing gaze and snowy scales seemed almost ethereal. "Your Majesty's wisdom will guide us through turbulent times." Adira surveyed her husbands, her expression unreadable. "We face numerous challenges. Eastern provinces plagued by demonic uprisings, western trade disputes, and internal power struggles." Tharros growled, "Allow me to quell the eastern rebellions." Lyrien smirked, "And I'll ensure western trade agreements ... come to fruition." Kaidos hissed softly, "Internal balance is crucial. Permit me to navigate court politics."

The Scent of Death is a haunting tale of surrender, dominance, and the unnerving dance between hope and oblivion. In the suffocating monotony of his life, he had become nothing more than a specter-breathing, moving, but no longer living. One rain-soaked evening, everything changes. Under the dim, shivering glow of a streetlamp, he encounters her. A woman who exudes an aura of unsettling allure and whose presence whispers of endings.

The clock struck midnight when Ruelle heard the echo of footsteps. She tensed, the fine hairs on the back of her neck standing on end in the cool night air. "You shouldn't be here," Ruelle whispered, her voice a breathless murmur. The silhouette finally came to stand under the moonlight, his dark red eyes watching her and his inky black hair ruffling. "Shouldn't I?" His voice was a dark caress, and she stood there captivated by the danger he exuded like perfume. "I haven’t seen you for the last two days," his tone low. His hand reached out, fingers brushing against the silk of her nightgown, tracing the trembling outline of her collarbone. "Tell me, were you avoiding me, or perhaps... entertaining other offers?" Ruelle’s heart raced, her breaths shallow. She declared, "I don't belong to anyone.” "A bold claim," he murmured, his breath a tantalising chill against her skin as he leaned in. "Yet here you are, pulse racing, your body tensed as if in anticipation of my touch." His fingers gripped her chin, tilting her face towards his. The moonlight caught his eyes, revealing a glint of predatory intent. "Or must I remind you whose touch you truly crave?"

Above lies the endless expanse of the sky, a vast canvas painted in shades of blue and adorned with wispy clouds. Below, the sturdy, unyielding earth cradles the roots of towering trees, the whispers of grass, and the rich tapestry of life that thrives in its embrace. And occupying the space that graciously separates the two is air—the invisible breath that carries scents, songs, and the laughter of both the vibrant and the desolate. To the left, in the shadowy recesses where reality bends, linger the spectral figures of ghosts—echoes of the past, hinting at stories untold and lives once lived. They drift through dimensions, reminding the unsuspecting of remnants and regrets. To the right, the world of humans pulsates with life, ambition, and chaos—each individual a world unto themselves, striving, yearning, and often clashing against one another. Yet, at the very center of this cosmic arrangement stand the immortals, enigmatic beings who straddle the line between the mortal and the divine, their wisdom and power beyond the grasp of any mere mortal. For Jiang Bai, a newcomer thrust into this intricate tapestry, the world is not merely a staggering display of chaos. Armed with the most advanced Divination System known to existence, he possesses a unique ability to read the flow of fate and probability. To him, nothing in this world is unexplainable, and no individual’s destiny lies beyond his calculative reach. It is a gift—and at times, a weighty burden. Just after undergoing the life-altering journey of transmigration, he finds himself caught in an extraordinary encounter. He meets a legendary immortal—a figure exuding an aura of ancient wisdom and power. With an air of urgency, the immortal seeks Jiang Bai's insight, requesting a reading of his fate. As Jiang Bai channels the energies around him and peers into the threads of destiny, he is struck with a profound shock. The reading reveals an impending doom—the immortal has only thirty seconds left to dwell among the living. Stunned and deeply shaken by this revelation, Jiang Bai can't help but question the whims of fate. Was this a mere coincidence, or was there some deeper design at play? The gravity of the situation sinks in as he recalls the dangers woven into the very fabric of the human realm—a perilous landscape rife with schemes of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of cultivation. Each ascension toward immortality is shadowed by trials, and Jiang Bai knows all too well the treachery that lurks behind smiles and camaraderie. Faced with a monumental decision, Jiang Bai must navigate the blurred lines that separate ally from foe, illusion from reality. With the specter of mortality weighing heavily upon him, he recognizes that before he strides into the unknown, he must diligently assess his safety—a habit forged from his intrinsic cautious nature. On the brink of embarking on what promises to be an unpredictable journey, he turns to his Divination System, seeking guidance for the day ahead. “System, should I go out today?” he inquires, his heart racing with the anticipation of what lies beyond his immediate surroundings. With a calculated ease, the System responds, “Today is favorable for venturing out. Engage in activities such as cleaning and exploring the mysterious locales that beckon. However, heed this advisory: steer clear of marriage and intimate relations, for entanglements may prove hazardous in the treacherous world that awaits.” With a mind brimming with possibilities and the foreboding weight of destiny at his back, Jiang Bai steels himself. The world is poised on the cusp of an adventure, fraught with peril and promise, and he is determined to decipher the pathways ahead, one calculated step at a time.

Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant.

The Rogue wolves have long been seen to be the lowest of the lows. They are either booted out of their packs or left on their own free will. Rogues were nothing more than outcasts who were always cast aside by their society. They were never really a source of great danger, or so wolves thought.

Eligor and Lilith are the complete opposites of one another. One is a rogue, and one is a leader. They were never really meant to be a perfect fit… But the Moon Goddess seemed to have a different plan.

[The Undoer: Supervillain Lich from Cape Society to a Fantasy World Unlike Anything!] For 2000 Years, I have fought this world’s champions… And for 2000 years, I had seen myself change… Finally, for 2000 years, I learned of defeat… The Undoer was a Psychic-based villain who had existed since the dawn of superpowers. He was the strongest psychic to ever exist with a mind so powerful he could not die. Time would rewound itself if he so-willed. Even old age could not get him. When his body decayed, his mind would remain, imbued to what was left of his skeleton— proving his ghost to be eternal. Only after 2000 years had the Heroes of Humanity been able to defeat him— though they were not able to kill him, they were able to exile him somewhere as far away as possible from Earth. “Yes, I have tasted defeat. But it is fine. This was only a temporary setback… My plans have not changed. Oh, my lovely daughter… No matter how long it would take, I shall resurrect you!” ~~~ GMT+8; scheduled upload is every 7:00 AM Monday to Saturday. ~~~ [Character Profile— Name: Ivan Montano Alias: The Undoer Type: Psychic Motivation: Resurrect his daughter, and pursue a happy life.

Defeated: Year 4027, December 13. The Heroes of Humanity employed the Exile Strategy to finally get rid of The Undoer once and for all. Two centuries ago, a clairvoyant by the name of Sarah Mendez had learned of the unique telepathic variant ability of The Undoer to turn back time. More studies were conducted on how to deal with The Undoer. It had been deemed that the superpowers needed for the strategy were mainly hypnotic sleep, teleportation, telepathy, and specific mind-resilient abilities. Over 800 psychics from three generations had been gathered for the operation. Cutting-edge technology was also employed for the operation: power nullifiers, mind dampeners, electro-static shields, nth barriers, warp enhancers, psychic multipliers, and micro-healing. Along with 800 psychics and the Nine Pillars of Humanity, The Undoer had been subdued for a short second— using the teleporter-class psychics as axis and with the support of the provided technology, the operation to exile The Undoer had succeeded. To where? No one knew. Casualty report: Five of the Nine Pillars of Humanity, 728 Psychics, and over 81,622 civilians.]
