But when he crosses paths with Lady Yuki Himetsuru, a powerful and cold-hearted ice mage from one of the most prestigious clans in the realm, his world begins to shift. Yuki is everything Kaien is not—admired, noble-born, and emotionally distant. But beneath her frozen demeanor lies a girl burdened by duty, hiding scars far deeper than the snow she commands. Thrown together by fate, their unlikely bond sets off a chain of events that will unearth buried secrets, awaken legendary creatures, and challenge the ancient laws that govern the elemental world. As the entrance trials to the Grand Academy of Martial Arts approach, Kaien must master the power within—the dragon’s fire in his blood—while Yuki must confront the warmth threatening to thaw her heart.

A tale of forbidden bloodlines, mystical duels, growing romance, and the courage to break fate. Perfect for fans of epic cultivation, magical academies, icy heroines, and dragon legends.

Kaien Everflame was a nobody. No talent. No blessings. No kingdom backing him. When the gods summoned "heroes" from another world, Kaien wasn’t supposed to be among them. But fate—glitched, broken, twisted—dragged him in anyway. Stripped of power and tossed into the wild like garbage, Kaien is left to die in a world of monsters, dungeons, and divine bloodlines. But instead of giving up… He unlocks the Crest of Calamity—a forbidden power that adapts to kill anything stronger than him. Now, Kaien doesn’t just want to survive. He wants revenge. Respect. A harem. And one hell of a legacy. But he’s not alone. Alongside four other outcasts— Reinhard Skyeveil, a disgraced noble with wind-blade mastery Donovan Blackguard, a silent guardian with an unbreakable will Aziel Duskborne, a fire prince with charm, trauma, and flirt game Monku Ironpelt, a beastkin brawler with fists, loyalty, and zero filter (And okay, also Nikolai. He’s smart. But he’s not lewd.) Together, they’ll take on kingdoms, slay corrupted beasts, flirt with goddesses, break the world’s rules—and maybe even fix it. Brotherhood. Betrayal. Boobs. Blades. This isn’t your average isekai. This is a full-blown rise-from-the-dirt-to-divinity epic with waifus, war, and wild magic.

Kaien has no last name, no magic, and no clear memories. The only thing he has is a group of orphaned children who depend on him to survive. But when an ancient monster destroys his village, Kaien makes a desperate decision: to unearth the cursed sword everyone fears. Thus begins his bond with Ryusatsuga, a blade that feeds on the soul… and the pain of its wielder. By his side: a warrior with a living grimoire and a past even more painful; a beast child with horns and a wounded soul; and a two-tailed black cat who holds more secrets than meows. Together, they will face monsters, visions, hunters, and truths that hurt more than any physical wound. But at the heart of this story, there are not just battles or curses: It is a message for anyone who feels broken.

In the shadows of Valeborne City, where neon lights hide the blood on the streets, power comes with a price. and betrayal is the only truth. Kaien was raised to be the perfect weapon. Born with the Key of Power Sigil, he can steal or destroy the powers of others with a single touch. The government calls him their strongest agent — the one they send when no one else can finish the job. His missions are simple: Hunt. Kill. Erase. But when the corpses of his enemies begin whispering secrets… When the last breaths of his targets speak of hidden crimes and lies… Kaien starts to see the cracks in the world he was sworn to protect. His team is gone — dead, betrayed, or erased. And as the Key of Power mark consumes more of him, Kaien will be forced to choose: Stay the government’s loyal hound… Or turn against everything he’s ever known, and bring their empire crashing down.In a city where everyone has scars, Kaien’s will be the deepest.

In a world where football is played with magic, only the strongest teams reach the World Arcana Cup—where gods watch, and legends are born. Kaien, once the greatest magical footballer, died betrayed by his own nation before the finals. But fate gives him one more match. Reborn as a 16-year-old dropout with no mana, Kaien vows to reclaim his throne—this time, not with raw talent, but with wisdom, strategy, and a forgotten technique that once shattered empires. Welcome to the Mana League. Where every shot bends reality, and a single goal can shake the heavens.

Two brothers. One destiny. A world that won’t survive them both. Born under a fractured moon, twin brothers Aelric and Kaien were destined to change the world—or destroy it. Aelric, the child of light, was raised to become the savior of the realm—blessed by the Celestials and trained to wield the sword of divine judgment. Kaien, his twin, was cast aside… branded the Child of Ruin before he could even speak. Raised in the shadows by exiled warriors and ancient curses, his soul festers with the power of something long forgotten—something the gods once feared. But fate is never that simple. As kingdoms crumble and forbidden powers awaken, the twins are pulled into a war they didn’t start—but were born to end. And when blood is shed between brothers, will the light truly save the world… or will the darkness rewrite its fate?

In a world where only five Mystic Emperors may exist at any one time, Li Shibai—a peerless genius cultivator—dares to defy the heavens. Arrogant, brilliant, and ruthless, he attempts to ascend to the forbidden realm without challenging an Emperor, believing himself untouchable. He dies in ten breaths. But death is not the end. Given a second chance through a cursed mark, Shibai returns to the past with forbidden knowledge and a decade to prepare. As he rebuilds his power and rises through the realms, he uncovers the horrifying truth behind the so-called Emperors—parasitic tyrants feeding on a slumbering god’s body. What he once believed was the peak of cultivation is nothing more than a worm’s perch on the bones of something incomprehensible. As he climbs higher, so too does his understanding of power, mortality, and fear. At the end of his path lies not glory… but something far older than death. Because the world itself is alive. And it has begun to wake.

Now, in an era where myth and legend have faded, a young teenager and his companions embark on a journey to forge their own path.

With divine influence a seemingly distant memory, they must rely on their own resolve to overcome the challenges ahead and etch their names into the annals of history like those before them.

In the radiant world of AURELIS, where Ascendance determines destiny and Protocols shape power, every child dreams of their Rite — the moment the Monolith names them, grants them a Protocol, and charts their place among the Chosen. But Kaien Virell receives nothing. Declared Hollowborn, shunned as a mistake, and mocked as a fluke who broke the sacred Monolith, Kaien is left to rot in the ashes of failure. His past is haunted by loss. His future has no path. Yet something ancient stirs in the silence. A whisper. A flicker. A zero. Drawn into the elite halls of Solvyr Academy by a loophole and a professor with too many secrets, Kaien finds himself thrust into a world that does not want him. Rivals rise, powers awaken, and a flawless prodigy named Ayari Thornveil casts an unforgiving light on his every weakness. But beneath the Academy’s golden façade, shadows move. The Protocols are not what they seem. And Kaien’s failure may not be failure at all. When fate refuses to choose him, Kaien will write his own.

The rain never ceased. It fell in glittering sheets across a shattered landscape, soaking ash-covered ruins and roots that remembered too much. Long after the Garden devoured itself, and the Hollow King faded into rot and stillness, something ancient began to wake beneath the dirt. Kaien was born from that silence—branded, forgotten, and buried by a past he can't outrun. He has no legacy, only a sword that should no longer exist and memories that don't belong to him. When he joins paths with Eris, a survivor marred by the Garden’s corruption, and Ilya, a girl who sketches what hasn't happened yet, their fates begin to intertwine beneath the black rain. Something is drawing them east—through the remnants of the Sovereign’s vaults, past fields of salt and memory. Whispers become louder. Pendants bloom like seeds. And under every foot, the dirt remembers. This isn’t a story of heroes. This is a story of what rises from the wreckage. Of those who choose what to bury—and what to become.

In a world where the endless Sea of Essence fuels life itself, every being is born with an Inner Tide—a personal connection to the mystical energy that shapes reality. Warriors mold it into weapons, healers use it to restore life, and dimensional travelers harness it to explore uncharted realms. Kaien was born different—without an Inner Tide. Seen as a cursed anomaly, he was cast aside by society. But when a monstrous force known as the Negative Current attacks, Kaien’s latent power awakens: the ability to steal and wield the Inner Tides of others. Forced into a dangerous game of survival, Kaien must confront powerful clans, cunning guilds, and sprawling empires vying for control over the Sea of Essence’s richest sources. As whispers of war loom on the horizon, Kaien’s stolen strength becomes both his greatest weapon and his darkest curse. In a world where power flows like an unstoppable tide, will Kaien become its master—or drown in its depths?

Kaien Thorne, the bastard son of a legendary blacksmith, carries the forbidden gift of Echoforging—crafting blades that unveil memories long lost… or yet to come. When he awakens an ancient sword, echoes of an impossible future mark him for death. In a world where remembering is a crime, Kaien must fight to uncover the truth—with a blade that speaks too many secrets.

The stars forget. But the flame remembers. In a universe where gods rewrite history and power is measured in ranks, one boy's name was meant to be erased. Kaien Azaryth Vordrakar, heir to a bloodline the cosmos tried to bury, is haunted by a flame that predates memory. When his latent power awakens, forgotten truths begin to unravel, and ancient enemies stir. As Kaien grapples with his identity and the legacy of Rahul, the First Emperor of the Void, he must navigate a treacherous path filled with divine politics, cosmic battles, and unbreakable bonds. He doesn't fight to rule. He fights to remember. And if memory burns… he'll burn the whole cosmos with it.

By day, Kaien Vire is just another forgettable face in the crowd — quiet, average, and always zoning out in class like life’s just background noise. But when the world sleeps and the feeds go dark, he becomes REZYN — a masked ghost in the underground, pulsing with glitchy black aura and clout so cold it burns. In a world where “Aura” is currency, status is power, and attention literally fuels abilities, Kaien wants nothing to do with fame. But when a mission gone wrong forces him into the spotlight, the system starts glitching… and the mask he wears may no longer be enough to hide what’s coming. Hunted by shadow clans, stalked by rising stars, and dragged into a digital war for influence, REZYN must navigate the chaos of high school, secret missions, and viral power surges — all while keeping his identity hidden and his vibe immaculate. Because in a world where hype is everything… some legends don’t trend. They haunt.

Mas o verdadeiro teste vem quando enfrentam o Cavaleiro Cinzento, um rei que busca usar as máscaras para governar o mundo com punho de ferro. No final, Takashi descobrirá que, mais do que lutar contra inimigos externos, ele precisa confrontar o vazio que carrega dentro de si — e, finalmente, aceitar que o verdadeiro destino só pode ser encontrado ao lado daqueles que se importam

In a world where every child awakens their **System Codex** at the age of ten, power defines one’s place in the world. Each Codex binds the soul to a class—Warrior, Mage, Summoner, or Healer—graded from Common to Divine. Advancement is everything. But Kaien never awakened. Labeled “Codexless,” shunned and orphaned, he remembers only fragments of his past: a burning estate, a bloodstained mother whispering his name, and the words, *“Run, and live.”* Years later, at seventeen—long after any hope of awakening should have passed—Kaien is ambushed. Near death, something ancient stirs within him. Not a Codex. The **Genesis Nexus**. A relic of a forgotten age. Blank. Hungry. Limitless. It absorbs other systems, devours their rules, and remakes them into something new. Kaien is no longer Codexless. He is the **Heir of the Nexus**—a threat to the current order, a beacon of an ancient bloodline, and a living weapon forged for vengeance. Now, he walks a path of cultivation no one understands, claiming forbidden power from every system he tears apart. As secrets unfold and enemies rise, Kaien hunts the truth behind his family’s massacre… And the god who watches through the Nexus.

GODFIRE REBELLION When the gods fall, who dares to rise? In a world once ruled by divine flame and celestial order, the last god lies dead—his golden blood still steaming on the altar stones, his scream still echoing across broken skies. And Kazuki Arin, the seventeen-year-old exile who killed him, isn't a hero. He's the weapon they discarded. The flame they tried to snuff out. The mistake that set the sky on fire. Born of cursed blood and branded a traitor by the holy empire of Lirael, Kazuki was meant to die during the Trial of Flame—burned alive to protect a world too afraid to question its gods. But death didn’t take him. Something else did. Something ancient. Something furious. Something that whispered: “Let it all burn.” Now, armed with the Hollowblade, a soul-eating relic that drinks godfire and warps fate itself, Kazuki carves a path of rebellion across a crumbling empire. Each kill costs him a piece of his humanity. Each step draws him deeper into a war older than time. A war between false gods, forgotten monsters, and the shattered children they left behind. But Kazuki is not alone. There’s Rin—his imaginary friend, his curse, his echo. She lives in the shadows of his mind, wears his scars like jewelry, and guides him with a grin that never reaches her eyes. No one else can see her. No one else can survive her. There’s Yuna, the girl he once loved—now a priestess of the empire sworn to stop him. And Kaien, the brother who betrayed him for power. And somewhere in the dark: the Council of Eclipse, watching, waiting, preparing to unleash horrors that even the gods once feared. The skies are falling. The sacred flames are dying. The rules are gone. And as empires burn and monsters wake, Kazuki must decide: Will he become the tyrant they always feared? Or the spark that lights the end of the world?

In a world divided between humans and demons, Kaien Duskborn stands alone—a half-breed despised by both sides of his heritage. For centuries, the human realm of Solaria and the demon territory of Morbidus have existed in a state of perpetual conflict, their hatred fueled by ancient prejudices and the machinations of power-hungry leaders on both sides. Born from the forbidden union of a human mother and demon father—both executed for their love—Kaien has survived on the margins of society, constantly hunted and forever an outsider. His unique dual nature grants him abilities from both bloodlines but acceptance from neither. Despite this, he harbors a dangerous dream: lasting peace between the two warring races.

As Kaien navigates treacherous political landscapes and ancient hatreds, he uncovers a shocking conspiracy spanning both realms—powerful figures orchestrating conflict to maintain their control and prevent a unification that would threaten their authority. To survive, he must embrace both sides of his divided nature and become what neither humans nor demons expected: a bridge between worlds. With enemies closing in from all directions and the clock ticking toward all-out war, Kaien's quest becomes more than a mission for peace—it becomes a fight for the very future of both realms and a test of whether blood must always divide, or if it might finally unite.
