Shadow leveling

Sung-style underdog taken to the extreme: Elias Crowe was once a promising D-rank Hunter trainee—until a betrayal in a high-risk Gate left him crippled, his mana core shattered, and labeled "permanently unawakened." Disgraced, broke, and mocked as "the living corpse," he survives by taking the dirtiest jobs: bait duty, corpse disposal, anything the real Hunters won't touch. During what should have been his last raid (a suicide mission to pay off crushing debt), Elias dies... briefly. In that darkness between life and death, something ancient answers: the fragmented will of a forgotten Shadow Monarch, granting him the "Shadow Leveling" system. No grand tutorial, no OP start—just a brutal mechanic: every time he kills (or nearly dies), he can steal a fragment of the enemy's shadow, converting it into experience, stats, or summonable shadow soldiers. The catch? He starts at Level 0—no skills, no gear, no mercy—and dying for real means permanent erasure. Elias claws his way back from the bottom: soloing goblin nests, outsmarting parties that once abandoned him, building an unstoppable shadow army one corpse at a time. As he rises, old enemies resurface, Guilds take notice, and the system evolves in terrifying ways—unlocking necromantic powers, shadow teleportation, and the ability to "level" entire battlefields by turning fallen foes into his legion. Fueled by cold revenge against those who left him to die, Elias vows to become untouchable. But the deeper he dives into the Gates, the clearer it becomes: his power isn't a gift. It's a curse tied to an apocalyptic prophecy—and if he reaches the top, the world might burn in shadow.

The Shocking Eunuch, Reborn as a Literary Girl

Renci, a renowned online novelist, is a legendary author who has created classic novels such as *Phoenix Clan* and *Eight Continents*. He is considered one of the most commercially successful writers of Generation Z, the youngest billionaire writer of the 21st century, and the writer with the greatest IP adaptation potential. In July 2024, Renci died. However, after his death, he received not blessings from netizens, but vicious curses instead. "I would feel sorry for other authors who have died, but for this one, I can only wish him well." "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. BYD's book with 10,000 subscriptions was cut, and the book was resold. It has only been a few years since the company debuted, and it has already cut more than a dozen books." "Not long ago he was arguing with readers on Bilibili, and now he's dead. This is all about karma." "Alas, the only pity is that the Phoenix Clan may never publish a fourth volume." "Don't worry, even if he were alive, he wouldn't be able to write a fourth volume, and given his skill level when he was alive, it would be garbage anyway." Some people say that such malicious comments are really going too far. But some people say that even the "benevolent" person himself has no objection. ....... Seventeen-year-old Chiya Umezon sat on the bed, smiling as she looked at the comments. "Yes, I really have no objection." "because......" As she spoke, she threw down her phone, stood up from the bed, and her eyes burned with a terrifying determination. "I'm back from hell." Thus, the astonishing eunuch was reborn as a young literary genius! (I won't marry)
