The Ugly Duckling Story

Minami has always been painfully aware of her appearance. With her wild hair, rough features, and a face that makes people turn away, she has long accepted her title as "the ugly sister." It doesn’t help that her older brother, Kazuya, is the complete opposite—tall, effortlessly handsome, and admired by everyone. But if there’s one thing Minami hates more than her reflection, it’s Kazuya’s teasing. What starts as his usual playful torment takes an unexpected turn one night when he kisses her on the cheek, claiming she’s not ugly in his eyes. Flustered and determined to forget, Minami brushes it off as just another of his tricks. But Kazuya doesn't let go so easily. With every passing day, his teasing grows more relentless, his words more affectionate, and his actions dangerously close to something she can’t ignore. As Minami struggles to understand his intentions—and her own heart—she begins to question everything she believed about herself. Could Kazuya really see something beautiful in her that no one else does? Or is this just another cruel game she’s destined to lose? A story of self-worth, love, and the thin line between playful teasing and something much deeper.

The story takes place in the Nine Heavens Realm, a vast world filled with sects, ancient clans, and powerful cultivators. The realm is divided into Lower, Middle, and Upper Heavens, each with its own hierarchy of power. The protagonist starts in the Lower Heavens, where he is mocked and bullied for his ugliness, but through his journey, he ascends to the highest levels of power. --- Main Character Name: Luo Feng Appearance: Luo Feng is born with a hideous appearance—his face is scarred, his body is deformed, and he is often compared to a "monster" or "beast." His ugliness is so extreme that even his family shuns him. Personality: Despite his appearance, Luo Feng is kind-hearted, intelligent, and resilient. He has a strong will to prove himself and refuses to let his looks define his worth. "Cultivation Talent": Luo Feng possesses a unique cultivation talent that no one recognizes at first. His body, though ugly, is a rare vessel for an ancient, forgotten cultivation technique called the "Celestial Asura Scripture". This technique allows him to absorb energy from pain, suffering, and rejection, making him stronger with every hardship he endures. --- Cultivation System: The cultivation system is divided into Realms and Stages, with each realm requiring immense effort and breakthroughs. Luo Feng’s cultivation path is unique because his ugliness and suffering become the source of his power. 1. Mortal Realm - Qi Gathering - Body Refinement - Foundation Establishment 2. Earthly Realm - Core Formation - Nascent Soul - Soul Transformation 3. Heavenly Realm - Void Refinement - Dao Seeking - Immortal Ascension 4. Celestial Realm (Luo Feng’s ultimate goal) - Celestial Sovereign - Asura Emperor - Eternal Ascendant

Yeah, he kidnapped the wrong person (guess who). The fourth male lead-who was supposed to be a master manipulator? Yes, he was absolutely cunning. And the knight, who wasn't even supposed to be in this part of the story yet? Why does he keep asking her for life advice instead of guarding something important? Meanwhile, the heroine? She's her best friend now. Between disrupting the original plot, introducing modern innovations, and making sure Selena doesn't meet her tragic fate, Zylith has her hands full. But if she plays her cards right, she won't just survive-she'll thrive And you know what , if she's going to be trapped here, she might as well get filthy rich doing it.

His soul shone as bright as a galaxy once, but now is but a sun. His talents made him the envy of all. And He lost it all, tricked and manipulated from the time he was a child. The Second soul belonged to a man soon to be the richest in the world in his own universe. A man who had his face charred, a man who seemingly had every odd placed against him from the very beginning. He went against the family that abused him and triumphed over them. Yet he was left broken inside, He craved a release, and the first soul brought him that release. And he became a psychopath that scared the manifestation of evil itself. And the Third? The child born from their souls was anything but ordinary. Cursed with a fate no one wanted. Cursed with the fact that the Universe wanted him dead. He was born from Chaos And Ice and a fraction of light, yet he manipulated space. His abilities were so powerful they were harmful to his body. His talent is as infinite as the boundless cosmos. His enemies were greater than one could count. His luck is worse than shit. And yet, he continued to fight. Despite whatever was thrown at him, he would brute force through it or outsmart it, befitting the other two above. He continued to fight, not believing in the bullshit that was destiny. ---------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/Sgxw6QEsgE

This wasn’t just a normal disaster; it was a supernatural catastrophe, with strange beasts rampaging through everything. But amidst the chaos, something stirred within Satoya. Humanity had survived countless disasters before, but could this be the one where survival alone wasn’t enough? In that moment, it clicked: his instincts led him toward an impossible goal—was it possible for there to be a solace where everyone could simply thrive? It wasn't as easy as he thought, with even bigger historical threats reoccurring in modern times. Can Satoya and his close friends defeat them all or does he need the help of allies? “I’m confident enough to know Satoya’s journey will prevail, but in truth, what can I say?” - The scribe of the ancient crucibles This novel features short chapters (occasional longer ones). The beginning of the novel (first 50~ chapters) is rough, but I will in fact fix the pacing and details once I’m done with the novel. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy this novel. This is the updated synopsis, the original synopsis was severely outdated and no longer reflected the story’s direction. I’d like to deeply apologize for any confusion. Note - some later chapters would get quite gruesome.
