You have activated the Attribute System.』 『Congrats host, you killed 5th stage of body refining realm cultivator and gained Qi points ×30.』 『Congrats host, you killed 1th stage of Qi refining realm cultivator and gained Luck points ×80.』 『Absorbed white Attribute orb, gained 1-star sword.』 『Absorbed golden Attribute orb, gained divine Artifact.』 Tian Shen: “…Huh?” Armed with his new system, Tian Shen embarks on a ridiculous journey—casually strolling through battlefields to collect fallen attributes, dodging cultivation technique manuals (which drop on his head), and even trolling young masters into fighting just to farm their stats. But as he levels up in the most absurd way possible, he soon realizes… is he cheating too much? Because now, heavenly tribulations, ancient sects, and hidden experts are all eyeing him. Tian Shen: I am favored by the AUTHOR of this book, you lots can't even handle my shoes. *Rumble**Crackle* Again Tian Shen: I-i was just joking, don't take it seriously. **BOOM**

In the year 2025, humans awakened with the ability to summon mighty beasts—capable of destroying terrains, breaking the laws of physics, and creating wonders limited only by one's imagination. But before these blessings came a curse. An alien face appeared from nowhere and threatened all life on the planet, leading to the greatest war in human history. In the aftermath, the human race and the alien race were forced into a shaky treaty that could be broken at any time. Years later, tests for summoning abilities began for the next generation. Those who awakened low-grade summoning would be thrown to the gutters, while those who awakened higher got to join great factions after graduating from the academy. Kairos Veyl, the blank, calculating student, pulled his hand from the massive crystal pillar and stared at the large beast before him. "This kid—he just got a LEGENDARY SUMMON." A legendary summon? The greatest class of summoning. However, with this class came a risk one would have never guessed. #No—Harem

It all began in the grim aftermath of a devastating mech war on the desolate planet Virelia-7. The battlefield stretches endlessly beneath twin suns, littered with the ruined remains of massive mechanical titans and fallen warriors. Amid this vast graveyard of steel and death, a lone 15-year-old boy awakens—injured, disoriented, and alone. His body is battered, his clothes tattered, and his memory is gone. He doesn’t know his name, where he came from, or what side he fought for. All he remembers is the sky. Around him, war machines lie shattered, their pilots still strapped in their death positions. Clan insignias—the lion’s head torn in half and the twin-bladed wing—decorate broken steel, but they mean nothing to him. He wanders the wreckage in confusion, haunted by the stillness of it all, until hunger drives him into action. Strange scavenger creatures called Black Ravines pick at the corpses. Birdlike in shape but entirely alien, with bone-hooked limbs and oily feathers, they feast on the dead without fear. Desperate, the boy tries to hunt one but fails. On instinct, he plays dead, and when one comes close, he kills it with a shard of mech metal and devours it raw, choking through nausea to survive. Unbeknownst to him, his mind is fractured into three entities:1) The Amnesiac Self – the current version of him, living moment to moment on raw survival instinct. 2) The Aggressive Voice – violent, impulsive, and bloodthirsty. It tempts him to surrender control for power. 3) The Calculative Voice – cold, brilliant, and tactical. It watches from within, feeding him strategic thoughts and survival data when he’s close to death.

Each chapter peels back layers of pain, passion, and peril as their nights become bolder, and their days blur in the aftermath of whispered moans and guilty silences. But this isn’t a love story. This is a spiral—into obsession, into vulnerability, into the kind of madness only lust and loneliness can ignite. As secrets unravel and fantasies blur into reality, they must ask: Is this love... or are they just each other’s deepest sin?

What if everything we know about our world… is a lie? What if the wildest conspiracy theories—those dismissed as madness—were actually warnings? The Earth is flat. The moon is not what we think it is. Demons and dark creatures exist, and we are all trapped beneath an invisible dome. A dome built not just to protect us—but to contain us. Long ago, Earth was home to an ancient, godlike civilization—powerful, advanced, and ultimately, self-destructive. In the aftermath, the last survivors raised the dome to shield the weakened remnants of humanity from external threats... and from themselves. But the cost was high: it severed our connection to higher evolution, suppressed our powers, and left us vulnerable. Now, after a thousand years, the dome is cracking. And with it, the seals that kept chaos at bay. As darkness begins to rise, the world spirals toward a new cataclysm. Alexandre Cortero never expected to become humanity’s hope. Once broken, now awakened, he inherits supernatural powers—guided by an advanced sentient force within.

The final age has begun. The veil is lifting. The world must awaken—or perish. The first part of a series that will open our eyes to the real world.

This is not a love story. It’s the wreckage after one. this book is for those- "For the ones still carrying ghosts in silence." It’s about a boy who gave everything—time, heart, soul—to someone who barely looked back. This is a story of being forgotten by the one person you couldn’t forget, of watching someone become a stranger while they still carry a piece of you. He wasn’t chasing a fairytale. He was trying to make sense of a connection that once felt real—but maybe never was. Through short, intimate chapters, this story is about the haunting aftermath of love: the slow burn, sleepless nights, the what-ifs, the ache of being forgotten by the one person who mattered most. A side— the part no one ever hears. “If it was never real for you, why does it still ruin me?”

Heaven and earth are benevolent towards all things… "Benevolent? Who wrote this garbage? The so-called Heavenly Dao is just a cosmic butcher hiding behind empty words! Balance? Order? My foot! Endless wars, reincarnation cycles, and countless tragedies — all in the name of ‘destiny’." On Earth, he was an ordinary Asian guy — average grades, average job, no girlfriend, and a healthy obsession with cultivation novels. One day, a mysterious accident ends his boring life. But instead of reincarnating into some young master’s body or getting a cheat cultivation technique, he wakes up to a shocking revelation: He has become the new Heavenly Dao! Apparently, all his predecessors — countless so-called "Dao spirits" — failed miserably, plunging the realms into endless chaos. The mysterious System that governs cosmic order has finally chosen an "outsider" to fix things. But there's a catch: ➤ The System won’t hold his hand. ➤ No quest logs screaming “Go save the cat!” ➤ No divine guide whispering in his ear. He must use his own human intelligence, shameless cunning, and a bit of Earthly common sense — plus his OP heavenly powers — to straighten yin and yang, reconstruct reincarnation, and reforge a truly fair world of cultivation. Yet, nobody knows his true identity. To the cultivators, "Heavenly Dao" is an untouchable, cold-blooded, merciless force that enjoys watching them fight and die for karma points. They would never suspect that their current "Dao" is a clueless Earthling trying to act cool while learning on the fly! "Oh? The righteous sect is trafficking a nine-tailed fox beauty? Let me casually twist fate so they slip on banana peels and reveal themselves to the entire continent... Wait! Why are all these fox women proposing to me?!" As he fumbles through conspiracies, unravels ancient mysteries, faces off against demonic overlords, and accidentally builds a massive harem (he swears it was not on purpose!), he remains determined to rebuild a world where no one is forced into endless slaughter in the name of “balance.” "Watch closely! I — the Earth’s most normal guy — will rewrite heaven itself, and make even the heavens tremble from laughter... and maybe a bit of fear!" --- Genres: Eastern Fantasy, Cultivation, System, Comedy, Drama, Slice of Life, Action, Adventure, Harem, Smart MC, OP MC, Satire Tags: Reincarnated as a system/Dao, Secret Identity, Misunderstandings, Witty MC, World Building, Strong to Stronger, Mythical Beasts, Beautiful Disciples, Realm Wars, Karma, Fate Manipulation
