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.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

A world of cultivation. Only the cultivation entails the gluttonous hoarding of resources. In a world where mere humans are meat and another's possessions are coveted by greedy eyes. How will a good-for-nothing survive that environment? The Baron's Bloody Goblet. That was the name given to the blood soaked lands of the valley where a terrible faction of practitioner's resided. The name and thus the infamy of the Bloody Baron and his band of flesh seekers had spread far and wide within the region. One could even hear the screams of his cattle throughout the nearby lands, the constant screams. The never-ending screams. The fort of the Baron was carved into a large crater with an immense castle spreading over the roof of the open structure as if it had been nestled on top by the Gods themselves. Inside the crater was filled with a blood so viscous that it might be more fitting to call it 'molten'. Dotted about the sheer cliffs of the crater were small hovels. Holes in the dirt that housed his preferred meats. There they grew, fattened up for their eventual slaughter. The Bloody Baron is a heartless, unforgiving and cruel lord that rules over his pedestal of corpses with a meaty fist. Will his empire last with the addition of a foreign element? When a good-for-nothing is given control of his body in a mere instant, will the meat topple over like a stack of dominoes? Or will he continue in his predecessor's place and make use of every body in his possession? --- Tags: Cultivation, Transmigration Fantasy, Male lead Schedule: New chapter daily Chapter length: 1000 - 1500 words The main lead: He is an incredibly troubled person who has many defective traits.

The Age of Mythology A time lost to memory, when beings of unimaginable might shaped the cosmos and vied for the devotion of all life. They were worshipped as gods, feared as demons, and revered as the architects of reality itself. But as the ages turned, they vanished—leaving behind only relics, legends, and silence. In their absence, mortals rose. Freed from divine dominion, they reached for the stars with intellect and innovation, building civilizations that spanned the world. Yet, in the darkness beyond the known, something ancient stirs. Echoes of the forgotten age whisper once more. Shadows move beneath the fabric of space, and signs of the old powers begin to awaken.

Their origin is not what they were taught. Their destiny, not theirs to command. This is the story of humanity’s rise—and the return of those who once ruled them. A saga of faith, fire, and forgotten gods.
