Solar Ascendant: The Divine Upgrade System

When Lin Xuan transmigrates into a world of martial might and ancient sects, he awakens in the weakest possible body— talentless, bullied, and moments away from expulsion. But fate refuses to let him stay weak. A hidden SSS-rank Divine Upgrade System activates, granting him two heaven-shattering gifts: Max Luck The ability to upgrade anything Physiques, spirit veins, techniques, pills, weapons—even living beings and entire worlds can be elevated to divine and cosmic grades. What begins as survival in the Cloudsky Sect spirals rapidly into destiny-breaking power: From Body Refinement 1 → 9 overnight From hunted disciple → alchemy prodigy From trainee spear wielder → Sun-Spear Sovereign From hiding his strength → defying tribulation lightning itself But power draws attention— including the gaze of an ancient, abyssal god who sees Lin Xuan not as an enemy… but as food. When the Abyssal Ancestor descends to corrupt the continent, Lin Xuan unleashes his greatest trump card: His divine artifact evolves into a living inner world, where time flows faster and a Saint Realm expert is reborn under his command. Each enemy he slays only fuels his growth. Each abyssal general strengthens his cosmic solar system. Each tribulation tempers his existence. And when the demonic armies invade, Lin Xuan stands alone between humanity and annihilation— a single spear blazing like a newborn sun. He will forge worlds, slay gods, and ascend beyond the heavens themselves. The Abyss wants him. He intends to make the Abyss choke. > “If the heavens fear my rise… they should.”

Wanting to Walk the Musical Path, Unknowingly Became a Heartthrob

Lin Feng's dream was very simple: to become a highly skilled, popular musician. To gain a firm footing in the unpredictable entertainment industry, he activated a system that, among other things, had an auxiliary function dedicated to minimizing all uncontrollable interpersonal risks. His creed consisted of only four words: emotional stability, team perpetuity. Thus, he was rational, calm, and "maintained" every relationship around him like a delicate instrument. To prevent relationships from breaking, he never disappointed anyone; for the sake of team unity, he would respond to expectations no matter how late. Years later, when he stood center stage on the world platform, looking at the former girlfriends, current girlfriends, and rumored girlfriends sitting neatly in the audience, and facing the sharp media accusations of him being the "Century Sea King" and the "Music World Bulldozer," Lin Feng clutched his guitar, his face full of weary innocence: "If I told you that, at the beginning, I honestly just wanted to prevent the band from breaking up, would you believe me?" This is the story of a completely steel straight man who, in order to practice his guitar properly, was forced to navigate the treacherous waters of a love shuraba, and who, in the end, unknowingly charmed his way through the entire entertainment industry. ~~~~ I wrote this book with the help of AI.

My Ultimate Gacha System

David Drinkwater lived his entire career as football's biggest joke. Thirty seven years old, rejected by every major club, and called a "club whore" by fans across Europe, but at Wembley Stadium, in the rain, he finally proved them wrong. Championship playoff final between Millwall and Norwich, and in the 90th minute, he scored the winning goal, then he died. **[Ding. Ding.]** **「Host found: David Drinkwater.」** **「Synchronisation complete.」** He opens his eyes in an eighteen year old body. Demien Walter, a failed Fiorentina academy prospect and suicide attempt survivor with an overall rating of 48, no team, and no future, but David brought something impossible with him. **[Ding.]** **「Ultimate Gacha System activated.」** **「Mission: Rise from nothing. Become the greatest footballer in history.」** Training earns points while matches earn rewards, and achievements unlock legendary packs. Every pack opening could change everything, whether through common stat boosts, rare techniques, or epic abilities, yet there's always the ultimate prize. **[Ding.]** **「Diamond Pack opened.」** **「Congratulations. Andrea Pirlo — Regista Vision obtained. Passing +15. Vision +10. Legendary Trait unlocked: Deep-Lying Playmaker.」** From trialist to conquering the football world, every pack, every point, and every impossible moment building toward football immortality. They called him a failure once, and they called him wasted potential, but now, with forty years of wisdom in an eighteen year old body and a system that rewards every drop of sweat with power, David will rewrite football history. One pack at a time. **Some dreams get a second chance, and some legends get a second life, so this is his.**

The Pinnacle of the Navy! Starting from Being Captured by Garp

[Raising Luffy and Ace to be Marines from Childhood] [Training Zoro and Kuina as Master Swordsmen] [Giant's Physique + Teleportation + Fist Bone Technique] [Multiple Devil Fruit Abilities] [A Goofy Training Diary + Hot-Blooded Action + Heartwarming Daily Life] After getting hit by the "Isekai Reincarnation Express Truck," Roy is tossed into the world of One Piece by a goofy goddess. But when Roy is actually dragged into Marine Headquarters by the collar by Garp himself, he's completely stunned— "Where are the system benefits I was promised? Why is this old man forcing me to throw 10,000 punches every single day?!" And so, the style of the Marines begins to completely fall apart— ▷ Luffy: "Azure Dragon Fruit (Pink Version) + Inherited Fist Bone Technique = Dragon Form: Fist Bone Gatling Gun!" ▷ Ace: "Who said the Flare-Flare Fruit is weak? Ever heard of ultra-high-temperature compressed explosions?" ▷ Zoro, Kuina, Law, Nami, and Nojiko are all tricked one by one into joining the Marines... "Brother Roy, who are we beating up this time? Should we go all out, or leave 'em breathing?" Everyone has Emperor-level talent + goofy daily interactions. A story about a bunch of young Marines being led astray into hilarious shenanigans. Heartwarming daily life, raising them from a young age. Luffy calls him "Big Bro Roy," and while Ace is prideful, he's still obedient. Slick and tricky maneuvers with multiple Devil Fruit abilities, but definitely not mindless or invincible. The main focus is on being both cautious and epic! "Who says being a Marine can't be hot-blooded and fun? I'm gonna raise a bunch of monster Marines, just you watch!" — Roy (P.S.: A light-hearted, comedic story with high-energy battles. Rejects tragic plot twists and maintains a generally heartwarming tone. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-nurturing and hot-blooded action!) Enjoying the story?

SSS Ranked Talent: I Can Upgrade My Skills Infinitely

He was a desperate survivor in a world devoured by monsters and gods, only to be granted a second chance. Reborn two years in the past, Alvian awakens moments before the launch of the hyper-realistic VR game "gods domain." He knows the horrifying truth: this is no game. In one year, the Convergence will merge worlds, and humanity will be the prey. During character creation, he makes a gamble that defies all logic. He abandons all pre-set classes for the custom class: "SkillBurst"...no starting skills, no stat bonuses...a path to failure for anyone else. As the system processes his suicidal choice, a new alert flashes before his eyes: [The System, recognizing this extreme handicap, has granted a compensatory reward!] [Ding! You have acquired the Sole SSS-Rank Talent: Super Upgrade System!] Instantly, the rules of the game are shattered. His path is no longer one of desperation, but of absolute domination. ———————— [You have learned the Legendary skill (Shadow Weave)!] [Super Upgrade System Activated! The skill has bypassed its limits!] [Congratulations on acquiring [Shadow Weave +2], granting damage immunity and near-perfect uptime!] While other players grind starter mobs, Alvian becomes an invisible phantom, assassinating a high-level exam boss before anyone can even react. While the academy’s elite follow the rules, Alvian exploits his future knowledge to gain legendary skills and world-first achievements. [You have learned the flawed AOE spell (Frost Descent), noted as un-upgradable with a high chance of self-injury.] [Super Upgrade System Activated!] [Congratulations! The self-harm drawback has been REMOVED! The spell now deals catastrophic damage and applies a powerful slowing debuff!] Armed with a talent that breaks the very concept of limits, Alvian’s rise is unstoppable. Dismissed as a cheater by the academy’s top prodigy? He leaves her in the dust, turning her rivalry into conflicted awe and eventually, hard-earned respect. Faced with an unkillable Apostle of a Calamity Demon? He achieves a World-First kill that puts his name on the global stage and reveals a terrifying truth: the apocalypse is coming faster than he ever predicted. Considered a classless anomaly? He conquers the Overlords Academy Championship, forges a legendary weapon, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear humanity's last bastion apart from the inside. But Alvian’s greatest power isn’t just his talent—it's the knowledge of the horrors to come. He will infiltrate doomsday cults, battle corrupted leaders, and stand against a newly awakened Demon God. Follow Alvian's journey from a traumatized survivor to a world-breaking anomaly. With the Convergence accelerating and humanity's last bastion falling from the sky, will his one-of-a-kind talent be enough to avert the end of the world, or will this second chance be his last?

Before It Started

The night sky over the Eastern Base burned a deep crimson. Flames devoured the steel walls that once promised safety, while the screams of the dying echoed through the cold wind. The stench of blood mixed with smoke, and the ground was littered with the bodies of soldiers, civilians... and Zombies. Ashira Vale staggered through the chaos, blood dripping from the wound on her side. Her breath came in short, sharp bursts. Each step felt heavier than the last, but she didn't stop. She couldn't. She had fought too hard to die like this. Yet... she had been left behind. She turned around, slashing down a lunging zombie with trembling hands. The gate slammed shut right in front of her face as metal scraped against metal, sealing her fate outside. The people she once trusted, those she fought for, bled for, were gone. Not because they died. Because they left her. "You're too dangerous to keep around, Ashira." That voice still echoed in her mind, cold and sharp as the wind cutting through the smoke. Her teammates. Her so-called allies. The people who swore to fight beside her... had used her. And when she was no longer useful, they threw her away. She remembered the cold look in their eyes when the gate shut. The smirk on one of their faces. The whispered words that cut deeper than the wound in her body. Betrayal. That was her final taste of humanity. She stumbled toward a burning truck, the firelight reflecting in her bloodstained eyes. Every breath hurt, but the pain didn't matter anymore. The world had already ended. She glanced at the barricade she once guarded, now nothing more than twisted steel and burning corpses. The walls that once symbolized hope were falling apart, just like the trust she'd once had in people. The Eastern Base... the last stronghold of survivors. Ashira tilted her head to the sky, watching as smoke smothered the stars. Her lips curled into a faint, bitter smile. "So this is how it ends... for me." Her voice cracked as she looked at the horizon. "Even the end of the world, can't kill betrayal." She smiled bitterly. Her fingers loosened around her weapon as she sank to her knees. In her fading vision, the shadows swarmed closer—hundreds of undead closing in from every side. But just before they reached her, a faint light flickered before her eyes— like a broken screen glitching. [System initializing...] [User: Ashira Vale - detected fatal condition.] [Rebirth protocol activating.] [Returning to checkpoint: Nineteen (19) days before the outbreak.] Her heartbeat slowed. And as her body was swallowed by darkness, a final thought crossed her mind— a vow whispered between blood and regret. "This time... I'll change everything." ^^ REMINDER: This was another version of what you might think of about zombie apocalypse, This is all about survival with the help of power. Surviving is more than just staying alive. It's keeping your mind intact when the world's already gone mad. It's sleeping with one eye open trusting no one but still hoping someone's out there. It's learning when to run. When to fight and when to stay quiet enough when the dead pass you by. It's the constant battle between fear and hope knowing every day could be your last, but choosing to live is more than that...

Reincarnated in a novel: I am the villain!

[System Alert: The Villain has logged in…] The world of Elias has already fallen once. Heroes died. Gods abandoned their creation, and Demons overran the land. In the final battle, the Hero and the Demon King perished together, leaving nothing but ash, ruin, and despair. Meanwhile, on Earth, one furious reader, Lin Ye, raged at the tragic ending of his favourite novel, The Hero Returns. He cursed the author, cursed the gods, and especially cursed the cowardly villain, Damien Voss, who was destined to die midway through the story Then, as fate would have it, a truck sent him into the afterlife. Reborn, Lin Ye finds himself a newborn, a newborn named Damien Voss. The same Damien who: Will be framed as a traitor by the Empire Will watch his entire family executed Will fall into madness Will become the “King of Ten Thousand Monsters” Will be slain by the Hero as a stepping stone But this time, something has changed. A blue screen appears: [Destiny System Activated] [Earn Destiny Points by altering the plot] [Rewrite fate. Reshape the world.] Armed with foreknowledge, a collapsing world, and a system that rewards defiance, Damien refuses to follow the script. If the plot says he dies? He edits it. If his skills are too weak? He rewrites them. If enemies resist? He enslaves them with the forbidden Contract Gem of the Voss Bloodline. Unfortunately, the price is steep. Grafting new abilities shreds the soul. Altering destiny draws the gaze of the Void Demon Gods. But Damien doesn’t care. He will save his doomed family. He will seize the power the original Damien never could. He will command beasts, monsters, demons, and races yet unseen. He will tear apart the script written for him. This time… he won’t be a villain in someone else’s story. He will become the King of Ten Thousand Worlds! -------------------------------------------- discord: https://discord.gg/CcbUSg8vtb

[BL] The System Runs on Magic
