When Dio woke up in a desolate slum, trapped in the frail body of a 16-year-old boy with no memory of how he got there, he quickly realizes survival isn’t his only challenge. The boy whose life he now inhabits is drowning in debt to a ruthless collector, and the slum’s grim hierarchy offers no mercy. But Dio isn’t entirely powerless—his transmigration grants him a rare ability: the power to download passive skills from others, though such individuals are exceedingly rare, and the process comes with its own risks. In a world where magic breeds violence, Dio must avoid treacherous streets, dodging suspicion while uncovering the limits of his download ability. Two targets with Tier 9 passive skills—a dangerous gangster and a hidden criminal—became his focus, but getting close enough to download their powers brings danger. As the collector’s deadline looms, Dio devises a plan to delay the inevitable, but every move he makes uncovers deeper layers of the slum’s brutal reality. With time running out and his body pushed to its limits, Dio must decide: will he use his stolen passive skills to escape this pit of despair, or will he become another victim of the slum’s endless cycle of cruelty? No matter what, he must find people with passive skills and download them! Too weak? Download strength-based passive skills! Easy to die? Download hundreds of regeneration passive skills! In the end, Dio realized that he had become so OP that he had millions of passive skills in his body. "It's really lonely to be at the top..." Dio sighed.

“Listen for the buzz of the Golden Honeybee’s wings, Where it will guide you to a lonely mountain creek, Follow the path abandoned by the hearts of kings, And be sure not to make a single peep. Then, the White Tiger’s snores you’ll hear, Below the bright azure skies of crystal clear, Walk into the fiery sea of blazing chrysanthemums, Whilst being careful of the spirit foxes’ bums, And there, you will find me, Sleeping below the great willow tree.”

In his previous life, Jiang Che was a self-made multi-millionaire, sacrificing his youth and energy to amass wealth. But just as he was about to bask in the riches he’d fought so hard for, life took an unexpected turn—he was reborn, waking up as his 18-year-old self, right after his failed confession. “F**K! Why did I work so hard without enjoying it?” All those years of sacrifice, only to be thrown back into his high school days? It was beyond frustrating. But as he sat there in shock, a new idea took shape. "Bitcoin... Stocks... the rise of e-commerce. Here I come!" Faced with a second chance, Li Feng’s priorities are clear: forget being a licking dog and start making money. This time, he’s going to get rich even faster—and actually enjoy it. The school beauty changed her mind? I don’t care! I am too busy counting my money!

Two generations after mysterious superpowers begin manifesting in children around age 13, only to disappear soon after they turn 18, the sport of EMA(Enhanced Martial Arts) has become a worldwide phenomenon for its bombastic action, in spite of the minimal risk to its competitors, called the Enhanced. Pairs of fighters and their Conduits, other kids who serve as their power batteries, and often, fighters of their own, enter competitions on many levels in search of fame and money, while world governments conduct research on the powers of the Enhanced, and organized crime syndicates find increasingly dangerous and exploitative uses for disadvantaged Enhanced children.

He Yuan had accidentally caused his own death. He had no idea he was even dead until he suddenly woke up on the hard floor of an empty room. What had killed him? Well... for future reference, it's a terrible idea to install a chandelier over your bed. As he tried to get his bearings right, a strange guy suddenly popped out of thin air and he was offered a job. The job offer granted him eternal life with the alternative being reincarnation. Most would hastily choose to be reincarnated so they can start a new life but not He Yuan. He was skeptical, why would anyone want reincarnation? Once you reincarnated 'you' cease to exist. He didn't care about what people said about starting afresh, gaining new memories and all that. All he knew was that once a person reincarnated, they get thrown into a different environment, different family, meet new people and in short became a different person entirely. What scared He Yuan the most was losing his own thoughts and hence, awareness of his current self and so, he chose to accept the job. What did the job entail? He carried out tasks given to him by people who were called 'leasers.' They were called this because they leased out their bodies to 'taskers' for a period of time to help set their crooked lives straight. What the leasers didn't know was that the taskers got into realms and helped them so they( taskers) could focus on their own main tasks which was world/realm balance. These realms had 'special ones' who siphoned the luck out of it. Luck was the binding force of these realms so without it, the realms would begin to break apart and deteriorate into unlivable hells. So in essence, leasers gave put their bodies and 'payment' in the form of soul energy, taskers helped out the leasers while balancing the realms and the realms become stable once more. Pretty straightforward right? Yes. But can someone tell He Yuan why these world was so full of hypocrites, Mary sue and Gary stu characters who thought it was excusable to do horrible things just because they were in love? He Yuan grit his teeth. If you want to be in love, then be in love, was there any need to use others as stepping stones?! He rolled up his sleeves and bounced forward. Just you wait as I teach you all a valuable lesson! #Gongmc UPDATES: Twice daily ORIGINAL STORY.
