Ever thought of finding oneself in situation where you are life and death enemies with your family just after transmigrating? Tian Chen opens his eyes only to realize he is no longer in the world he used to know. But in this world, he was doubting the concept of family, as his birth mother killed the original owner of this body, leaving behind strong resentment that becomes stronger when another woman deceives him. The resentment is his biggest concern as it had started to grow and devour his vitality as well as lifespan, while making his body endure unbearable pain. But he knew he had no way of getting back at his birth 'Mother', with his current ability. What was even more terrifying was that she had made progress from turning her children into sacrifices and refining their ancient God bloodline as well as souls. It was also the same reason he was able to transmigrate into the body. From the memory fragments, the Ancient Wu God Clan was an Overlord, standing on par with the seven strongest factions in the world. Forget getting revenge, once he was discovered, the only ending would be death. But with the God clan bloodline stripped from him, it was impossible to cultivate their techniques. What was worse, the resentment didn't just extend to his birth mother, but the entire clan, meaning the path of following the Wu clan training techniques was blocked. He was indeed secretly frightened, but unwilling to sit down and hand over his head. "Why can't I also raise my own force! As long as it is strong enough! Who would stop me from getting my revenge! Besides, my situation is somewhat complicated, I need martial arts not just to survive, but become stronger, and this can only be obtained by plundering. I can't accomplish this on my own." He was indeed no different from waste, as the bloodline of the Ancient gods had been stripped and didn't own any spirit roots to take that path of immortality, as such Martial arts was his only option. But as a transmigrator, could he become a martial ancestor, by taking martial arts to a higher height!

If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

What would happen if you put 150 students together in a school-like system and had them compete in various challenges to earn points to try and become number one? The outcome has been pretty bland for the past few years at Astral Academy, and the results are not what the higher-ups who run it want, until now.

Five different classes with thirty different students in each class. Who will come out on top? Malakai, who came from London to compete in this academy? Maria, the daughter of a famous actress? Alexander, who has got everything he has ever wanted? Ryan, who can get anything he wants? Isabella, who has never had to try for anything she's done. Dillon, who wants everything everyone else has? Adam, who wants to prove a point? Too many names but only one top spot. Will they be entertaining? I post chapters every Wednesday and Saturday.

In the apocalyptic fantasy realm of Erespara, magic is both life and death. The world pulses with Espera, a mystical energy that transforms those strong enough to wield it into beings of unimaginable power. Erespara is home to diverse races—humans, elves, demi-humans, dwarves, dragons, the enigmatic Nexalith, and many others—all thriving in their mastery of elements, ancient skills, and arcane forces. But are these races truly prepared for what’s about to come? Strange and nightmarish creatures have begun appearing across the land—creatures unlike anything seen before. Dark forces stir in hidden corners, seeking to plunge Erespara into chaos and reshape its very foundations. Into this turbulent world is thrown Ryan, an ordinary man from a mundane life, who awakens in the depths of a labyrinth teeming with peril. Disoriented and hunted by unknown horrors, he suddenly hears a voice—a girl claiming to be linked to his soul, offering herself as his guide, his “system assistant.” With her help, Ryan must adapt to survive, harness the elemental energy of Espera, face deadly challenges, and discover powers he never imagined possessing. --- Author's Note: In this story, the "system" is not what gives Ryan his strength; it’s an additional aid—more like a helper, resources provider, and guide. Ryan won't start as an Chad; he’ll grow over time, adapting as he faces the brutal world of Erespara. His decisions will be realistic, and he’ll act rationally according to the situations he encounters. I’m still learning, so please forgive any grammatical mistakes. I’d appreciate it if you could point out any errors so I can improve!
