But fate had other plans for him. He was mysteriously transmigrated into the world of cultivation, a place where strength reigned supreme and power could shape reality. In this world, Ye Tian embarked on a dark path... the path of demons. After trillions of years of cultivation, he ascended to the pinnacle of power, becoming the Absolute Demon, feared and revered across the entire cosmos.

He was a cold-blooded, merciless force of destruction, known for slaughtering without hesitation. Entire worlds were laid to waste at his feet. His cruelty knew no bounds, and his reign of terror spanned eons. Yet, for all his strength and dominance, there was no satisfaction. Ye Tian grew weary of the endless killing and ruling. Standing at the top, alone and bored, life had become empty... a never-ending cycle of bloodshed that no longer stirred his emotions. But everything changed one fateful day. In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian found himself back in his old body, back on Earth, as if the trillions of years he had spent cultivating were nothing more than a distant dream. However, this Earth was not the one he remembered. The world had changed. A giant Tower had appeared... like something out of the fictional fantasy stories he had read in his past life. And just as Ye Tian began to grasp this new world, a system window appeared before him...

In a world far larger than Earth, a cataclysmic event reshapes reality when mysterious towers appear across the continents. These towers, teeming with deadly creatures from other realms, open gateways for beings to emerge—creatures that can only leave their towers for 10 minutes at a time and cannot stray more than 10 feet from them. The appearance of these towers brings both chaos and opportunity. Great treasures, skills, and hidden knowledge lie within, but they come with a price. The world's balance teeters on the edge as these creatures wreak havoc on the land. The protagonist, a dedicated engineer, has spent years preparing for his dream job, only for the emergence of the towers to shatter his carefully laid plans. The once-predictable world is now unpredictable, and the protagonist finds himself thrust into a reality that no one could have foreseen. Along with the towers, adventurers—people who have awakened new traits and abilities—begin to appear. The protagonist, driven by frustration and a thirst for control, decides to forge his own path as an adventurer. With the knowledge he has from his engineering background and the systems granted by the towers, he embarks on a journey to explore the dungeons within the towers, uncover their treasures, and perhaps discover the means to restore order to the world. But the towers are not just a physical challenge—they are tied to the very fabric of reality itself. The protagonist must navigate not only the dangers of otherworldly creatures but also the increasingly fragmented political, geographical, and social conditions that arise from the towers’ presence. Each tower is a world unto itself, with creatures, treasures, and mysteries unique to each, and as the protagonist journeys deeper into these realms, he begins to understand that the towers might hold the key to saving—or destroying—the world. With new skills, powerful allies, and the weight of a crumbling world on his shoulders, the protagonist's quest is clear: survive, adapt, and find a way to confront the strange new system that governs this twisted reality. However, as his power grows, so too does the complexity of the world around him, and the lines between friend and foe blur. The towers’ true purpose is hidden deep within their foundations, and unlocking their secrets may be the only way to reverse the cataclysm—but will the protagonist be able to master the system before it's too late? *Towers of the Awakening* is a thrilling blend of RPG mechanics, world-building, and character development, exploring the tension between order and chaos in a world on the brink of collapse.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Shakespeare – [The Tempest] As a form of punishment for mistakenly killing an innocent civilian, Song Zhuyu, a priest and part-time exorcist, found himself exiled to the distant shores of Shenci Island, hundreds of miles away from his hometown and the only city he had ever known his whole life. However, unbeknownst to anyone, he harbored a secret agenda— to hunt down the culprit who had turned his life upside down. Fully prepared for meeting danger at every turn, what he encountered instead was a beautiful, serene island, albeit with two strange ironclad rules: First, do not climb the hill after 1 AM. Second, do not interact with Rui Ye. On the first night of his stay, Song Zhuyu broke two of the taboos, only to discover that the infamous Rui Ye was nothing like he had expected. “I am cursed,” the blind, beautiful man told him with a wistful smile. “If you associate yourself with me, the curse will haunt you too.” In response, Song Zhuyu’s lips hooked into a careless smile, “I don’t think you have to worry about that. I, myself, am cursed as well. What’s the big deal about adding another one?” But as inexplicable deaths began to plague the island, Song Zhuyu realized that the island, including the helpless and soft-hearted Rui Ye he had come to know, held a far darker secret than he could've ever imagined. In a race against time, he must navigate the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal to unravel the island’s sinister truth and achieve his goal before it's too late. *** Pretty, flirtatious yet heartless priest gong x blind, mysterious and cursed shou Additional tags: gong/seme/top protagonist, action, mystery, suspense, horror, psychological, thriller, dark elements, angel and demons, slow romance, murder, crime, beautiful protagonist, older love interest, 1 vs 1, dubcon, supernatural creatures, exorcism, tragedy, past plays a big part Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord
