The Art of Fusion

Leon sat cross-legged in the middle of his dimly lit room, his brows furrowed in intense concentration. A single candle flickered beside him, casting long shadows on his face. With his narrowed eyes, a slightly crooked grin, and his hood draped low over his head, Leon looked less like an innocent 12-year-old experimenting with magic and more like a nefarious villain from a cheap mystery novel. In front of him sat his subject of choice—a small, trembling gray cat with wide, terrified eyes. Its tail twitched nervously, and it tried to edge away, but Leon's outstretched hands blocked its escape. “Don’t be scared,” Leon whispered in a low, gravelly tone, trying to be reassuring. “This will… probably be fine.” To the cat, however, his words sounded like a devilish chant. Its fur bristled as it tried to back away, but Leon gently nudged it closer with a book. “Trust me,” he said again, his grin widening. To the cat, it looked like the grin of a madman. Leon raised his hands, ready to channel his fusion magic. He had this brilliant idea—maybe if he combined the cat’s natural agility with some enchanted fabric, he could create the ultimate stealth companion! He focused, energy swirling in his hands— BAM! The door to his room exploded inward with a deafening crash. “LEON!” shouted a chorus of voices. Startled, Leon’s magic surged uncontrollably. The glowing energy veered off course, missed the cat entirely, and hit the pile of uniforms scattered near his bed. In an instant, there was a brilliant flash of light, a puff of ominous black smoke, and a strange sizzling sound. As the smoke cleared, Leon’s friends—Aiden, Samual, and Felix—stood frozen in the doorway, coughing and waving the smoke away. Their eyes adjusted to the scene: a very guilty-looking Leon, a terrified cat darting under the bed, and the unmistakable sight of a bright red bikini hanging off the edge of Leon’s desk, glimmering faintly with leftover magical energy. “What… the… hell?” Aiden muttered, his gaze darting between Leon and the bikini. Samual blinked, then smirked. “Leon,” he said slowly, his tone dripping with mockery, “I didn’t know you had… interesting hobbies.” Felix, the youngest of the group and usually the quietest, pointed at the smoke still curling from the bikini and whispered, “Is that… black magic?” “Wait, no!” Leon exclaimed, scrambling to his feet. “It’s not what it looks like! I was fusing! The magic just… misfired!” Samual crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. “Oh, sure, Leon. Because the first thing every 12-year-old fuses is a bikini. Totally normal.” Aiden leaned against the doorframe, pretending to look thoughtful. “It must be black magic,” he said with a mock-serious tone. “How else could a loser like Leon accidentally summon a bikini?”

Global Apocalypse: Rebirth with God-level Talent

In his previous life, Xue Que devoted himself to the one he loved, tirelessly serving and protecting her, even sacrificing his dignity and identity to be her shadow and guardian. Yet, his loyalty and selfless devotion only earned him betrayal and manipulation. In the end, he was cast aside, left to die in agony and despair. In his final moments, he swore that if he had another chance, he would turn his pain into a blade of vengeance, making the world submit and crushing the dreams of all who had wronged him. By a twist of fate, Xue Que is reborn, taking on the form of a supreme demon. In this life, he is no longer the weak, naive "lapdog" of his past but a cold-hearted and ruthless avenger driven by rage. With fierce cunning, he seizes ancient relics, grasping the god-tier rewards countless others could only dream of. With these newfound powers, he embarks on a path to supremacy, aiming to reclaim everything that was denied to him and destroy anyone who dares to stand in his way. For Xue Que, there is only one goal—to ascend to ultimate power, sweeping aside all opposition and establishing a realm of his own design. With a fierce, unyielding spirit, he crushes the strong and shows no mercy to the weak. He relentlessly seizes the treasures, powers, and talents of his rivals, rapidly climbing to the summit of power. His ambition grows as he vows to unify all realms under his rule, enforcing his iron will across heaven and earth. “Those who follow me shall prosper; those who defy me shall perish.” These words are his creed, and the world trembles at his silent threat. His ruthless rise soon draws the attention of the ancient gods and demons, who feel compelled to descend upon the world and crush his growing power. Yet Xue Que stands atop the mountains, his gaze steely and defiant. With the divine forces looming above, he meets them with only scorn in his eyes. He roars to the heavens, “I, Xue Que, am here. Who dares stand against me? Even if the gods and demons themselves descend, I shall shatter their very souls!” On his bloody path to dominance, he encounters allies and rivals alike, each pushing him closer to uncovering the mysteries of his past betrayal. The person he once loved, the one he was willing to sacrifice everything for, is fated to cross paths with him once more. But now, she is either a sworn enemy or merely another piece on his chessboard of power. Xue Que’s heart, frozen and unyielding, no longer dwells on the past. All that matters now is to pave his way with blood and fire, ensuring every betrayer suffers the consequences of their actions. From betrayed lapdog to supreme demon, Xue Que’s journey of vengeance and conquest is filled with bloodshed and fury. Each step he takes shakes the heavens, each footprint marking the line between life and death. When he finally stands at the summit, the world will bear witness to the empire he’s forged, and with his powers, he will either plunge the world into chaos or bring it to the pinnacle of glory.
