**Synopsis:** Luciel, after transmigrating to the Fantasy Continent, finds himself reborn as a trainee knight with seemingly ordinary talent. However, fate grants him a unique advantage—a powerful biochip that becomes his ultimate tool for growth and domination. With this biochip, Luciel gains unparalleled abilities to analyze, optimize, and synthesize combat techniques, turning even the most basic skills into devastatingly powerful moves. **Storage Function:** The biochip successfully records the "Cross Blade" technique with 100% completeness, allowing Luciel to master it perfectly. **Analysis Function:** It evaluates the perfection of his sword movements, identifying flaws and calculating the exact number of repetitions needed to achieve mastery. For instance, after analyzing the "Cross Sword" technique, it determines that 1,934 more training sessions are required to reach perfection. **Optimization Function:** The biochip refines his techniques, transforming the basic "Cross Sword" into the advanced "Super Cross Sword." **Synthesis Function:** It combines different techniques to create even more powerful skills, such as fusing the "White Crow Sword" and "Cross Sword" to form the devastating "White Crow Cross Slash." As Luciel progresses from a lowly trainee knight to a Grand Knight, Earth Knight, and eventually a Sky Knight, his journey is marked by relentless training, strategic battles, and the constant evolution of his abilities. With each step, he grows stronger, surpassing his limits and defying the expectations of those around him. In a climactic showdown, Luciel stands atop the Silver Throne, having defeated even the gods themselves. With cold determination, he declares, "I've ended the gods, but this is just the beginning." His words echo across the Fantasy Continent, signaling the rise of a new era—one where Luciel's power and ambition know no bounds. As Luciel's legend spreads, the Fantasy Continent trembles at the mention of his name. Kingdoms vie for his favor, fearing his wrath and seeking his protection. Yet, Luciel remains focused on his ultimate goal: to unravel the mysteries of the biochip and unlock its full potential. Along the way, he encounters formidable allies and treacherous enemies, each shaping his path in unexpected ways. With every battle, Luciel inches closer to becoming the undisputed ruler of the Fantasy Continent, a figure whose name will be etched in history for eternity. But as he ascends to greater heights, he begins to question the true cost of power and the destiny that awaits him at the pinnacle of his journey.

Hello my fellow Cultural Daoists. This One shot Smut or lemon was inspired from the fanfic and the webnovel Against the Gods. Though the MC was OC and was inspired from lots of novels and CYOAs. Well to be frank I wrote/edited this lemon just to kill the time coz I was extremely bored and also for experiment sake. I had "researched" many lemon chapters from different novels in this platform, combined and edited their styles in one big chapter. I sincerely thank the Authors for producing the "research" materials. Also the Dao of BS and Hentai logic is kinda strong here so please kinda bear it.( ╹▽╹ ) Tags : Smut , Sex , Hentai, Yandere Warning : 13k+ word count.

The word shattered, heaven's once ruler was thrown into deep hibernation. His power burst forth from his avatar and spread throughout the mortal plain, years later that same power took on the form of Regalia and humanity was 'blessed'. For the first time in millennia, angel's descended upon the mortal plain to warn humanity, "The power bequeathed to thee is but a simple gift from thy divine lord. Thou must never use thine power for evil or else humanity shall be destroyed." The angel's deceived humanity in attempt to hide the state of their lord. Humanity used the new energy and power to develop their technology incredibly fast. They created entire islands, enhanced space travel, and within just a hundred years... They had even captured a star. However, humanity was still a curious species riddled with sin, over the hundred years of development humanity learned to revolutionise war... Regalia energy increased the physical capabilities of mortals dependent on their aptitude with it. Many humans had begun to discard the need for guns as simply, they became too slow. Humanity had regressed in a way, back to killing each other face to face in bouts with swords and other weaponry.
