So-called Taisu pulse is a form of physiognomy, which can discern nobility and lowliness, foresee auspicious and ominous events, predict misfortune and fortune. Good sir, do you dare to let me feel your pulse? One pulse reading is worth a thousand gold! Look, making money is so easy, isn't it? Ah, phooey!

Oh, which one did you ask about? Later, someone asked Qin Liuxi, if life could start over, what would her dream be? Qin Liuxi remained silent for a long time: To not strive for progress and to live for a hundred years!

Astreya was never meant to exist....at least, that’s what they made her believe. Cast aside, labeled as something she was not, she spent her life fighting for a place in a world that refused to see her. But when a dangerous figure emerges from the shadows—a man who, like her, was an outcast—she learns the truth: she is the forgotten sign, the one erased from history. The stalluna counsel, the very force that governs their world, has built its rule on a lie, a lie that the villain, a cusp born between two opposing signs, is determined to expose by any means necessary. Betrayal, bloodshed, and a war of ideologies erupt as Astreya battles not just for survival, but for the truth itself. In the end, the world still doubts her, still fears what she represents. They call her the lost one. Some call her a savior. Others, a monster. But Astreya? She knows only one thing—this is not the last they will hear of her.

Cove Bay. Scotland. A place constantly shrouded by storm fronts from the north, where dead forests, overgrown with distorted trees, repel anyone. On these steep cliffs of the North Sea stands St. Lazarus Orphanage, once a fortified city citadel known for its labyrinth of dungeons and many executions. A place far from welcoming, where discipline and punishment take centre stage. One day, in mid-May of 1718, a series of ominous events unfolds.

Liora was a pampered royal princess, with loving parents at the forefront and eleven royal brothers at her back. Always adorned with the finest silk and served with exquisite dishes while lounging in her palace. Her biggest concerns? Which dress to wear for a banquet and how many more hours she could nap before her royal duties caught up to her. But fate (or some seriously bad karma) had other plans. One moment, she was sipping fine wine and but the next moment-boom!—she wakes up in a world where people are eating each other, the sky is covered with ominous veils that look like it wants to swallow the world, and worse, her royal status means absolutely nothing. What she can tell more about her poor condition is that she has no servants, no food, and no idea how to fight off the disgusting zombies, who are trying to take a bite out of her. Just when she’s ready to scream at the heavens for an explanation, a cold mechanical voice rings in her head: [Welcome, Host. You have activated the Overlord System.] Overlord? That sounds powerful, right? Wrong. Turns out, she starts at the bottom of the food chain with no powers, no weapons, and zombies that see her as their next snack. While others awaken abilities like fire manipulation or super strength, she gets... a system that gives missions with questionable rewards and always tries to drown her in a huge debt. Fight a Level 2 Zombie with her bare hands? Sure, why not? Survive hordes of zombies while the system nags her? Classic. But as she battles to level up and gathers allies (some willing, some just too scared to say no). She realizes—maybe she isn’t as weak as she thought. Because when the world falls into chaos, only the strongest can rule. And if the system insists on calling her an Overlord, well… she might as well live up to the name. Power, danger, and a system that may or may not be trying to get her killed—welcome to the apocalypse.

--- The Lord of the Stars Kingdom For centuries, the celestial realms have watched over the universe, maintaining balance and order. But when an ominous dark energy takes the form of a powerful being, its sole purpose to bring doom and eternal darkness to Earth, the cosmic balance is thrown into chaos. Dhruv, the revered Lord of the Stars, is chosen to descend to Earth and uncover the source of this growing darkness.

He is accused of causing a major disaster in the city of Sirius, a tragedy called "Amusement Feast".

--- In the heavens, there exists a name that cannot be spoken casually. It is believed to be ominous. People often refer to this figure as the Devil King. He is the most ruthless and cruelest cultivator in the heavens, yet he is also the strongest. No one dares to confront him. One day, however, when all his enemies unite in an attempt to attack him, they fail to kill him. Ultimately, it is his own daughter-like disciple who betrays him and strikes from behind. Born in another world with the pure heart of a young boy, he is destined to enjoy this life to its fullest. His ambitions include forming a harem, conquering kingdoms, turning others into his loyal subjects, and becoming the strongest being in the universe. He will eliminate anyone who dares to come into his way. He inherits a supreme legacy that grants him the power to become the greatest force in existence. Combined with his sharp, scheming mind and vast knowledge, even immortals find themselves begging for his mercy. **Author's Note**: Although there will be elements of harem and the concept of sex slaves, rest assured there will not be any explicit adult chapters. I apologize for the darker themes, but the main character is portrayed as cruel, evil, and cunning. He adapts his attitude according to the situation—don’t worry; he’s not foolish and won’t kill without any reason. As I already mentioned he retained a pure heart in this life which stops him from uneccesary killing but not always.... Ultimately he is the devil king so he cant change his nature. Am I right ? (*~*) He is generally ruthless only towards his enemies. This is not a story of a naive protagonist; rather, he is a master schemer who ensures everything unfolds according to his plans. I have read over 100 cultivation novels, but this is my first attempt at writing one, so I appreciate your understanding of any mistakes. I hope you enjoy reading. The first few chapters may seem boring as they contain essential information, but trust me, the later chapters will become increasingly captivating, and you will surely find enjoyment in them.

“But that doesn’t mean we have to accept it. I Dao Wei, will never blame anyone for my own shortcomings! The so-called Law of the Jungle is something I will rewrite with my own hands!” Each word he spoke seemed to resonate with power, the air around him growing heavy with the force of his conviction. The dark child looked up, his anger wavering, replaced by something akin to fear as Dao Wei’s words crashed down on him like mountains, crushing the doubts that had festered within. “This is my Law!” Dao Wei declared, his voice rising as he drew himself to his full height. “And I am the Law!” Rumble! The sky began to change. Dark clouds gathered overhead, swirling in a furious dance as the heavens themselves seemed to respond to Dao Wei’s challenge. The wind howled through the peaks, and the ground trembled beneath the feet of those watching, as if the entire mountain was bracing itself for what was to come. The clouds grew darker, more ominous, the air charged with a strange energy. Thunder rumbled in the distance, a low growl that steadily grew louder, shaking the very foundations of the Sword Peak. The disciples and elders looked up in alarm, their faces pale as they realized the magnitude of what was happening. “Haa! Even if the Heavens try to stop me, I’ll split open the Heavens themselves!” Dao Wei’s voice rang out, defiant and unyielding, carrying with it a power that defied the very laws of nature...

Humanity has scattered across the stars, held together only by the unstable surges of Ricci Flow drives and the ancient, fragile Silent Network. Interstellar peace is tenuous at best. The Solarian Confederacy clings to order with rigid traditions and the ominous Mindfire Protocols that keep AI in check, while the ambitious Cygnus Combine pushes the limits of technology and commerce, stoking fear and suspicion. Beneath their cold war, something deeper lurks, waiting. That fragile balance shatters when Relay Node 717—an essential communications hub in the contested Fringe Sector 8—suddenly goes dark. Navigation becomes dangerous, messages stop flowing, and the sector descends into chaos. Solarian Command immediately blames Cygnus, and warships begin to mobilize. The galaxy teeters on the brink. Agent Kaelen Riley of the Solarian Bureau of Cognitive Security is sent to confirm the official story. But as she digs deeper, doubt creeps in. The pieces fit too well. The narrative is too clean. Meanwhile, on the lawless Waypoint Station Epsilon, Jax, a Fringe pilot drowning in debt, finds himself trapped—his ship grounded, his options running out.

Fate throws them together, each with their own reasons for digging deeper. Riley wants the truth beyond her orders. Jax needs to escape. Petrova is chasing a mystery that defies known science. Aboard Jax’s battered freighter, the Razor’s Edge, they plunge into the heart of Sector 8, dodging debris, hostile patrols, and their own distrust of each other.

Destruction and chaos spread on the once-vibrant Green Star, its surroundings plagued by the incessant noise of impending doom. An ominous darkness, akin to locusts, relentlessly devoured the land. "Why is this happening? Why?" A few melting figures glared at the impending doom of darkness above. A colossal shadow cast its veil over the Green Star, declaring an impending cataclysm. Above, a green pillar of light flickered intermittently, each appearance marking the vanishing of another source of life. Silence draped the star as both light and vitality were snuffed out. Everything became devoid of life, light, and silence spreading across the whole star along with darkness. Thousands of light years away, in the vast expanse of deep space, ripples distorted the fabric of the cosmos. A colossal shadow materialized, observing the distant spectacle of a supernova's explosive demise. Amidst cryptic symbols, a message emerged: "~~" "~~~" "~~~~~" Deciphering, "Not Found," "Erasure is Complete," "Proceeding to the next target."

To Yun Jieshi, it seemed that life had a way more ominous meaning than he had previously imagined. He had never asked for much in all his twenty-whatever years of living. His dream was to make up for all that he had missed, all he was never taught about half of his heritage, his culture. Who really was Sun Wukong? Was he better than Superman?

How could New Years go so terribly wrong? Will repeated that question over and over again in his mind. For a moment, he was basking under the firework painted night. And now what lay in front of him were two ominous scrolls, one that was far more inviting than the other.

Lin Feng had always been a professional procrastinator, a connoisseur of mediocre web novels, and a firm believer that superstitions were nonsense. So when he bought a cursed blood-red necklace on a whim, he laughed off the shopkeeper’s ominous warnings. Then he got stabbed. Now, he wakes up in a new world—trapped in the body of a half-witted noble disgrace with shattered meridians, mocked by servants, ignored by his family, and destined for a miserable, forgotten life. But something is different. The necklace… it came with him. And it isn't just cursed—it's hungry. In a world where cultivation determines fate, where families backstab each other with a smile, and where the strong crush the weak without hesitation, Lin Feng should be doomed. He has no talent, no allies, and no path forward. But he does have one thing—a mind that isn’t nearly as broken as people think. So let them underestimate him. Let them sneer, laugh, and scheme. Lin Feng will play the fool, twist their expectations, and weave his own web from the shadows. After all, when the world sees you as a joke, they never see the knife coming.
