Backlash

The Day They Walked

In 1972, a groundbreaking discovery by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in genetic engineering, where they created the first transgenic organisms by inserting a resistance gene into an E. coli plasmid, sparked both immense scientific excitement and public backlash. While many hailed it as a monumental step forward, others protested, fearing humanity was "playing God." Amidst this controversy, Jeremy Karlson, a renowned paleontologist, recognized the profound potential of Boyer and Cohen's work. He saw it as a means to achieve something unprecedented: bringing dinosaurs back to life. Jeremy, accompanied by his wealthy step-brother Jake, who offered to fully fund the ambitious project, met with Boyer and Cohen. Jeremy revealed that during an expedition in Alaska, his team had discovered a perfectly preserved, 17,000-year-old juvenile dire wolf with intact organs, from which they successfully extracted degraded DNA. He believed that with Boyer and Cohen's expertise in transgenic technology, they could use this DNA, and by extension, potentially dinosaur DNA, to resurrect extinct creatures. Initially hesitant and skeptical of the audacious proposition, Boyer and Cohen were eventually swayed by Jeremy's unwavering confidence and the sheer magnitude of the idea. With Jake's financial backing and Jeremy's bold vision, they agreed to collaborate. The project, estimated to take four to five years, aimed to apply the nascent field of genetic engineering to the realm of paleontology, promising to reshape the world in an unimaginable way. As they left, Jeremy mused that when their success became public, the world would be irrevocably divided.

Mythic Gene Architect : Evolution Through Pain

Mythic Gene Architect: Evolution Through Pain Shen Yue was a genius developer, pushing himself to the limit to complete his most ambitious creation: the Mythic Gene Evolution System—a sci-fi cultivation simulator where strength came only through blood, pain, and ruthless decision-making. But he pushed too far. And he died. Only, death wasn’t the end. Shen Yue wakes up inside a cultivation novel he once read—in the broken body of a 14-year-old boy with the same name. A forgotten side character. Betrayed, crippled, abandoned. But not truly alone. For years, his elder sister has sacrificed everything—her time, her health, and her future—to care for him. Now, with his new system awakened inside him, Shen Yue is determined to stand back up—not for power, but for her. The world, however, is no longer what he remembered. The plot is shifting. Characters aren't following their destined arcs. Events are spiraling off course. Even his sister, who was originally fated to join the Jade Flower Sect, now walks an entirely new path. And through it all, the Mythic Gene System speaks: cold, sarcastic, but always brutally honest. Compatibility rates. Gene pain thresholds. Memory echoes. Emotional backlash. Shen Yue must bleed to grow stronger—there are no shortcuts. To survive, to protect, and to change fate— he must rewrite the story from the inside out.

Nightmare Puppet Master

It all began when Xie Mingchi discovered that his pupils could turn red. "Congratulations, you've become the 273rd Nightmare Puppet Master. You have 273 days left to live." Suddenly, countless eerie ghost puppets appeared in front of Xie Mingchi. He grabbed one, and instantly, he was sucked into another world. The ghost puppets surrounded him, and the mist was thick with illusions… This place was desolate, dangerous, and strange. Countless puppet masters scrambled in fear, terrified that if they hesitated for even a second, they'd be devoured alive by the ghost puppets. Looking at the frail, red-eyed boy, people sneered. They thought he wouldn't be able to capture a single ghost puppet, and even if he faced the lowest-level one, he'd surely be killed by its backlash. To this, Xie Mingchi simply curled the corner of his lips. "Interesting." The ghost puppets bared their fangs and lunged at Xie Mingchi. With a calm smile, Xie Mingchi tied a string around the wrist of one of the ghost creatures. Ghost puppet: "???" Is this a joke? But the very next moment, the ghost puppet became Xie Mingchi's servant. With a flick of his finger, the ghost puppet was forced to diligently serve him. The stunned puppet masters: "???" Why was it so easy for him?! Then, one day, they realized that even the Lord of Puppet City willingly worked under Xie Mingchi’s command… What couldn't he control? A legend began to spread through the puppet master community—the 273rd Puppet Master was unlike anyone else. No matter how powerful a ghost puppet was, it would obediently become his puppet when it came into his presence—even the Lord of Puppet City was no exception! Under the night sky, the city lord, surrounded by chilling mist and stepping lightly under the starlight, walked toward Xie Mingchi, smiling. Wan Wuqiu: "I've been playing with you for so long, shouldn't there be a reward?" Xie Mingchi: "How about I return a few ghost puppets for you to put to work?" Wan Wuqiu: "…Good. Time to go home."

A kiss to the devil

“Now, I think we must -” A pair of sumptuous lips abruptly silenced his words, capturing his mouth out of the blue. Feminine hands held his nape, pulling him closer. Kian stood rooted in place, shocked and unable to process what was happening. Just as he realized he was being kissed by an unknown girl in the midst of his most important business meeting, he heard his elderly client rebuking him for unprofessional behavior. “What kind of unprofessional behavior is this, Mr. Wilson? Did you invite us here for a display of your scandals?” the old man roared, forcefully pounding his walking stick on the floor. His assistant beside him shook his head disapprovingly at the scene. With a sudden burst of force, Kian pushed the girl away, causing her to stumble to the ground. “Mr. King, I apologize for the disturbance. But it’s not what it looks like,” Kian said politely, attempting to conceal the incident. “Save your justifications, Mr. Wilson!” Mr. King scowled, his teeth clenched in anger. Meanwhile, the girl stood up and reached out for him once more. This time, as Kian saw her, he recognized her face as the scarf she had used to cover herself was slightly pushed aside, revealing her blue eyes to him. Anger surged within him, but before he could utter a word, she surprised him yet again. “Baby, I know you’re angry, but please give me a chance,” she pleaded, her voice almost on the verge of tears as she cupped his face. Kian widened his eyes in shock. “What are you saying?” Her behavior left him bewildered. Meanwhile, growing tired of their drama, Mr. King clicked his tongue in annoyance. “The deal is off, Mr. Wilson. Call people for business meetings when you have time between your scandals and affairs.” With that curt remark, the elderly man exited the elite restaurant, followed by his assistant. Snapping out of his shock, Kian attempted to chase after them but failed as the elderly man walked briskly and quickly left the restaurant. Enraged, he turned around and shot a murderous glare at the girl. Grabbing her forcefully, the infuriated man made a vow. “You wanted a chance, right? Well, I’ll ensure you regret that chance every single day of your entire life.” ***** Running away to save herself from the goons sent by the man her uncle forced her to marry, Ariana chose a path that would lead her further into hell rather than rescue. On chilly winter nights, she dared to disrupt the CEO of her company and interrupt his most important meeting, unaware of the greater havoc awaiting her life—Kian Wilson, the devil of the business world!

He faced backlash from his family and the company’s board members, threatening the loss of everything he had worked for. All of this transpired because of a blue-eyed girl who bore responsibility for his crumbling situation. He vowed to seek revenge on her for the catastrophe he had endured, even if it meant risking his most precious possession—his freedom!
