In the sprawling metropolis of Shanghai, where ancient pagodas sit beside glass skyscrapers, two lives intertwine in the relentless pursuit of success and belonging. Liu Wen, a young woman from a modest town, arrives in the city with nothing but a dream and her tenacious work ethic. Working tirelessly in a high-rise office by day and studying for her business degree by night, she aims to prove that success can be built brick by brick. Yet, the weight of urban life and the allure of easy shortcuts constantly test her spirit. On the other side of the city, Chen Kai, heir to a growing tech empire, navigates the gilded traps of wealth. His ambition has always been to prove his worth beyond his family's name, but the glitter of the city often blinds him to life’s true values. Burdened by expectations and hungry for connection, he yearns for love that transcends social status. Their paths collide in an unexpected moment—a night when city lights blur, and strangers become confidants. Through late-night conversations in hidden cafés and chance meetings in crowded subway cars, they discover a shared dream of something more profound than money and fame. Will their love survive the trials of ambition and the ever-turning wheels of the urban jungle? And can they reconcile their differing worlds to build a future together, or will the city swallow them whole, as it has countless others?

The Multicolored Orb also provided Emrys a SYSTEM which can help him understand the functions of the Multicolored Orb in an easy way. It changed his life completely. Not only did it grant Emrys the ability to level up the Soul Orbs to the Mythical level that no one in the world knew about, but it also provided him the "Soul Mark" that gave him the ability to manipulate space itself. But this Multicolored Orb seems to be more mysterious than Emrys originally thought. There was much more to it than just a SYSTEM and a few abilities. This Multicolored Orb was an inheritance item of a Supreme Being, one who had surpassed the constraints of a reality known as "Cultivation". In the universe, every creature engages in a relentless struggle, fighting, killing, betraying, and enduring countless hardships to advance along the path of cultivation. Yet, this Supreme Being had transcended beyond this reality. How? Let's walk on this journey together with Emrys to know the answer.

Have you heard stories of love, love that would never waver for years, decades, centuries or even millenniums to come? But can you really call it love? To keep loving someone forever and ever can't be anything less than crazy, can it? This is one such story. A story of a crazy love. And it's also a story of ... Someone somewhere who wished to be saved. Someone somewhere who wished to be free. Someone somewhere who wished to be able to someday make a wish. It's a story that was supposed to be a fairytale but it turned too ugly, too twisted, and far too wretched to be called one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's my first time writing.

Aku terbangun di tempat yang tenang dan indah, tanpa mengetahui siapa diriku sebenarnya dan kenapa aku bisa berada ditempat ini. Di Kejauhan aku melihat seorang manusia dengan pakaian serba putih dan mata yang sebiru langit di tengah-tengah dekat pohon yang sangat indah berada. Dia mengatakan ini kepadaku "kamu adalah seorang dewa." aku tidak mengerti apa maksud dari perkataannya. Setelah mengatakan itu dia menghilang, tanpa memberikan alasan yang jelas. Dan aku juga tidak memiliki ingatan apa pun tentang masa lalu. Aku memutuskan untuk melakukan perjalanan untuk menemukan jati diriku. Jika aku adalah seorang dewa, mengapa tidak ada yang menyembahku? Atau memberikan persembahan untukku? Ya aku tidak mempermasalahkan nya sih, jadi aku memutuskan untuk menjelajahi berbagai tempat yang asing, tapi di mana pun aku pergi, tidak ada yang mengenalku atau bahkan menyadari keberadaanku. Namun, di dalam perjalanan yang panjang dan sulit ini, aku mulai merasakan adanya kekuatan dalam diriku yang belum pernah kurasakan sebelumnya. Aku memahami bahwa mungkin aku bukanlah dewa yang diinginkan atau diperlukan oleh orang lain, tetapi aku tetap mempertahankan keyakinan bahwa aku punya tempat dan arti di dunia ini. Aku semakin dekat dengan jawaban yang aku cari. Namun, semakin aku mempelajari sifat diriku yang sebenarnya, semakin banyak juga pertanyaan yang muncul di benakku. Apakah aku benar-benar seorang dewa? Mengapa aku tidak memiliki ingatan tentang masa lalu atau siapa diriku sebenarnya? Dan mengapa tidak ada yang tahu tentang keberadaanku?

Mythology and Legends were seen as nothing more than imagination by most of the people of Earth after the Age of Enlightenment, an attempt of the past humans to explain phenomenon they could not understand and though faiths existed, most have started to believe them to be nothing more than imagination. That however changed in 2023 when God and higher beings suddenly started to choose people from amongst the populace and gave them power to use, essentially turning them into superhumans and the fully cemented the fact that the Supernatural do indeed exist. The Earth has changed greatly with these chosen people becoming the most important people in the world due to their status and strength as some of them are even leaders of their own nations. The emergence of Gates and it's dangers however allowed the world to realise the reason as to why the higher beings have decided to bless them. The chosen fight them and are admired and the chosen people, called the Blessed, were a career that was sought after by many in the world as it gave fame and fortune. This is a world where myths and modernity collide. A/N: This book is inspired by "Blessed by the Night" by AnathaShesha as I liked the system with which the story was written, so there might be some similarities between the two stories.

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.

Ciel. A boy with extraordinary abilities. Born and raised in the kingdom of dragons. A kingdom where your standing depended on your power.

He wanted to mourn the death of his beloved by killing the ones responsible for causing her body to deteriorate. He wanted to kill the children. But as soon as he met them, he changed his mind. They were the spitting image of his beloved. He couldn’t go through with it. So instead, he protected them. For the first time in his life, he wanted to protect something more than his pride. That’s where this story begins. The story of the most powerful human to have ever been born.
