The Thirty Nine Steps

If there was an object that could grant any wish you wanted, what would you ask for? Most would ask for wealth and prosperity, while those who are sick would probably ask for health and safety.

After doing a good deed for a beggar, he was given a magical candy that supposedly granted wishes.

After 6,000 years of development by the immortal sect on Planet Earth, all of the leyline spiritual energy was controlled by the country. They only released enough spiritual energy for the cultivators to breathe. If a cultivator wanted to use the spiritual energy to train themselves, they would have to pay the immortal sect for that.

Step 1: Find yourself an overpowered Awakener. Not just any Awakener, mind you; aim for the one who takes down bosses solo, preferably with a scowl. They’re the ticket to your hassle-free existence. Step 2: Power up your Awakener. Feed them, encourage them, and let them do all the XP grinding. The stronger they are, the safer you’ll be. Step 3: Marry the Awakener. Lock it down, officially. With this, your safety is practically guaranteed. Step 4: Relax and let the Awakener handle the world’s chaos. You’re now free to enjoy your easy, drama-free life. (Well, mostly.) --- P.S. 1. Steps 2 and 3 are totally interchangeable—or combine them. It worked for me. 2. Forget heroes; look for the anti-hero. The selfish ones, villains? That’s where your real safety lies. 3. You may need to deal with some light trauma cleanup now and then, but it’s no biggie. 4. Not foolproof, but hey, it worked for me! *** Lol it's romance okay, no fight scenes, no system interface cause I'm too lazy to do that research, just romance a hot man,hot woman and some smut here. And a plot. [Two chapters daily] [Please comment and review, votes too]

Kael Ardyn never believed in fate. Living a quiet life in the sprawling city of Azorith, he never cared about the myths of old gods, demons, or celestial wars. He had always been different—too detached, too cold, too indifferent to everything and everyone. Nothing ever sparked his interest, and emotions felt like distant memories. But then, something changed. One Morning, a stranger appeared at his doorstep with an admission letter to a school he never applied to—Velmorian Academy. His mother, thrilled beyond reason, urged him to accept the offer, but Kael sensed something was wrong. The invitation felt too deliberate, too unnatural. And yet, he went. That was his first mistake. Velmorian Academy was nothing like he expected. It was no ordinary school—it was a sanctuary of magic, hidden from mortal eyes, training warriors to fight against demons that had long escaped the depths of Hell. But Kael wasn’t interested in their wars. He had no desire to awaken his powers, no drive to fight, and certainly no intention of being anyone’s hero. Until they threatened his mother. When dark forces target the only person he has ever cared about, Kael is forced to make a choice—embrace the power buried deep within him or watch the world burn. But what he doesn’t know is that he is no ordinary student. Within him lies the soul of an ancient god—Drakarios Valtheron, the Nine-Tailed Dragon Lord. A being so powerful that even Lucifer himself swore a blood oath to destroy him if he ever returned. Now, Kael must uncover the truth of his past, awaken the power within him, and prepare for the battle of a lifetime. Because the demons that lurk in the shadows aren’t just hunting him. They’ve been waiting for him. And this time, they will stop at nothing to claim what was once theirs—the Dragon Orb. But there’s just one problem… Kael still doesn’t give a damn about saving the world. Until the world gives him a reason to.

Every step she takes towards him is another step in turning his dreams into reality. A mixed strange yet familiar surge of pain and happiness welled up from his chest, it made him difficult to breath. He gave his respectful bow as their eyes met, hiding a streaming tear against his cheeks. Everyone else followed in unison. His deep ocean blue eyes trembled in agitation, alas, it has been forever. He won`t miss this last chance to be with her in the altar. She felt her knees trembling. Once upon a thousand years ago, she was nothing but a subject needed to complete a divine prophecy. Seeing the look on their faces right now and how they bowed in utmost reverence, her heart melted in joy. Another pair of jet black eyes stared right into hers, there she found her refuge for her raging heart.

Her eyes, lips, nose, her presence, all of her... she is indeed the owner of the Last Imperial Crown.
