In a world where the sword shapes destiny, strength is absolute. Warriors hone their energy cores, mastering aura to carve their legacies into history. But for caius vale, this is a path he has already walked—twice before. Reborn for the third time, caius is not just talented—he is unyielding, ruthless, and impossibly sharp. With a mind as keen as his blade and a mysterious system no other swordsman possesses, he refuses to rely on brute strength alone. Every battle is a lesson, every technique another weapon in his arsenal. He does not seek honor, nor does he waste time on fleeting desires. He bows to no one—on or off the battlefield.

Against peerless geniuses, ancient sects, and warlords who have ruled for centuries, fate is not so easily defied. This world is not kind to those who seek to rise above it, and even with all his knowledge and talent, caius is not invincible—yet. With every swing of his blade, his technique sharpens. With every battle, his resolve grows stronger. From towering warriors to forgotten legends, he will carve his path forward—until the very concept of the sword itself bends to his existence. This time, he will not stop at mastery. This time, he will claim Ethereal Eternity itself.

When Erina opens her eyes in a new world, she quickly realizes two unsettling truths—she has been reincarnated as an infant, and she is now the daughter of a devoted paramilitary officer in the war-torn Kingdom of Felsburg. With memories of her past life intact, Erina struggles to make sense of her new existence in a country still reeling from a political coup. The once-mighty monarchy has been overthrown, replaced by the rule of Erzregen, the self-proclaimed Supreme Regent. Through her keen observations, Erina begins to unravel the dark reality beneath the kingdom’s grand facade—widespread propaganda, growing militarization, and a population forced into unwavering loyalty. Her father, Paul, is a fervent supporter of the new regime, while her mother, Inge, remains quietly skeptical, caught between love for her family and the oppressive weight of the kingdom’s rule. As Erina grows, she must navigate a delicate balance: appearing as an ordinary child while secretly piecing together the mysteries of this world. But with tensions rising and a nation on the brink of something far more sinister, she begins to question—was she reborn here for a reason? And more importantly, can a mere child change the fate of a kingdom spiraling toward an uncertain future?

Under a crimson moon, Brian discovered that just like some rare extreme psychopaths, he also acquired a miraculous ability: to fulfill the lingering attachment of the remains and receive gifts from the corpses.

This was the greatest insult to his noble character!!!

Back in 1996, when the daughter of the Old Xie family, Xie Wanying, said she wanted to be a doctor, many laughed. "Phoenix begets phoenix, dog spawns dog. A truck driver’s daughter becoming a doctor is as likely as a sow climbing a tree." "I’m not just going to be a doctor, I’m going to be a female chest surgeon," said Xie Wanying. Her words provoked even greater waves of disdain within the doctors' community. Relatives who were doctors ridiculed her mercilessly: "Do you know how high the admission scores are for medical students? Do you think you can make it?" "There are zero female chief chest surgeons in the country. Who do you think you are!" A bunch of people mocked her: "You'll probably only get into a third-rate medical college and end up as a health worker in a small county town. It's easy to imagine what sort of marriage you'll have." After the college entrance exams, Xie Wanying entered the top surgical class in the country with the highest science scores in the province, with department heads in the Capital’s top-tier hospitals vying for her from her internship beginnings. "Student Xie Wanying, come to our digestive surgery department." "No, she must come to our urological surgery—" "Pediatric surgery is in short supply of female doctors like student Xie Wanying." Circles of relatives and friends: … At this time, Xie Wanying independently completed the youngest Tetralogy of Fallot surgery in the country, represented the national association of chest surgery at an international medical forum, and published the world’s first minimally invasive heart valve repair surgery, becoming truly the foremost surgeon in the field of female surgery! As for the marriage concerns that everyone "worried" about: A brother from the Returned Overseas Faction, a hot bachelor within the Capital, changed his QQ profile picture to Junior Sister Xie. The young CEO, a handsome man, came to the hospital every day with flowers, keen to offer a diamond ring. Not to mention, a whole host of suitors had long since worn a path to the Old Xie Family's doorstep...

A young man, with a keen mind of medical knowledge and skill, steps into a vibrant buzzing city for the first time. How would this young man face the challenges of love and hate, of family’s vengeance, and the temptation of beautiful ladies?

The world ended with fire. It wasn’t war. It wasn’t disease. It was something else. When the meteor storm fell, it carried more than destruction—it carried evolution. The alien microbes that embedded themselves into Earth didn’t just raise the dead… they changed everything. Survivors became something more. ✔ Stronger. ✔ Faster. ✔ Primal. The dead did, too. ✔ Smarter. ✔ Adaptive. ✔ Hungry for something more than flesh. --- Brian Wallace never wanted to be a hero. Before the world burned, he abandoned it—choosing solitude in the mountains over a society he no longer trusted. He built a home. He survived. But survival isn’t enough anymore. The symbiote inside him has reshaped his body—turning him into something beyond human. His ribcage expands like a bellows. His breath ignites with a force hotter than steel. He is no longer just a man. He is a hunter. And now, he has a war to fight. Because Cain—the self-proclaimed king of the new world—is building an empire of blood and submission. He is a predator with a mind as sharp as his powers, gathering armies, bending the weak to his will. And worse—he isn’t the greatest threat anymore. The dead are changing. The Hollow Ones are rising. And if Brian doesn’t stop them, there won’t be a world left to fight for. --- A brutal, evolutionary horror-thriller where survival means becoming something monstrous. ✔ Primal instincts clash with human morality. ✔ The war for dominance is no longer just among the living. ✔ The dead are watching. Learning. Adapting. And they are not done evolving. --- Perfect for fans of horror, sci-fi, and brutal survival thrillers, Silent Falls drags you into a world where the lines between predator and prey are disappearing—where the strongest won’t just survive… they will change.
