Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World

Two hundred and fifty years ago, the world was on the brink of absolute collapse. Then, the Origin Network descended, bringing the Origin Ascension Domain with it. Suddenly, people were moving faster than lightning and jumping high enough to high five the clouds. They became known as Players. In today's society, Players dictate everything. Your entire worth is tied to your mana affinity and the Origin Talent you awaken upon your first time entering the Domain. Enter Caelus Kross. He is a transmigrator stuck at the absolute bottom of the barrel with an E-Rank mana affinity and a seriously terrible reputation. He was once known as the pathetic lap dog of a woman who treated his heart like a dirty welcome mat. Honestly, settling down as a magical construction worker seemed like his peak career path. However, the universe had a much stranger plan. Everything changed on the day he awakened. He did not get a glowing sword or a fancy fireball. He got a talent that allowed him to extract literally anything. [Ding!] [You have successfully extracted the S-Rank talent: Star King] [Ding!] [You have successfully extracted the SS-Rank Talent: Space-Time Rupture God] [Ding!] [You have successfully extracted an S-Rank Mana Affinity Physique] [Ding!] [You have successfully extracted the Battle God's combat experience] [Ding!] [You have successfully extracted an SSS-Rank bloodline] Armed with the Endless Extraction talent, Caelus will right what is wrong, crush his old reputation, and uncover the hidden secrets of the Origin Ascension Domain.

The Spoiled Young Lady Who Married a Military Officer

Modern medical virtuoso Su Tang transmigrates into the body of a 1970s Shanghai belle. Fearing for her safety, her parents send her—along with their entire fortune—to the military family compound. The original owner of this body had been spoiled and willful, causing trouble everywhere she went. In the end, she was divorced and met a tragic fate. Familiar with the plot, Su Tang knows that only one person can protect her—the husband she has never met. She prepares herself mentally, but when she finally arrives at the compound and sees the cold-faced, rugged man standing before her, she still swallows nervously. He looks so fierce. He wouldn’t hit someone, would he? … Lu Xiao’s marriage was arranged by his parents. He had never met Su Tang. All he knew was that his wife was a pampered young lady who had never lifted a finger. He despised such petty-bourgeois habits and held no favorable impression of her. On the day Su Tang steps into the family compound with her marriage certificate, Lu Xiao takes her luggage with a cold expression—only for something soft and warm to be pressed into his hands. His little wife stands on her tiptoes, carefully tying a hand-knitted scarf around his neck. “I heard the northwest winds are like knives,” she says softly in a gentle Wu dialect. “So I specially added some cashmere.” Lu Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobs. The tips of his ears quietly turn red as he picks up all her belongings. City girls were good at firing sugar-coated bullets. He definitely wasn’t falling for it. But later… Every time Su Tang spoke to him in that soft, coquettish tone, Lu Xiao found himself wishing he could climb to the heavens and pluck the stars just for her.

After Rebirth, I Accept The Arranged Marriage

In her past life, Jessie Sterling moved abroad for Julian Grant, only to have him break his promise and stand her up late at night for another woman on her birthday. Reborn into this life, Jessie Sterling personally severed her past adoration and affection, and instead entered a marriage of convenience with Victor Morgan, the heir to a century-old prestigious family in Aethelburg, a match approved by her family. She had originally thought it would just be a marriage for mutual benefit, and that they would treat each other with polite respect after the wedding. People in their social circle were not very optimistic about this newlywed couple with vastly different personalities. Until one day, some friends paid a late-night visit. By the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Four Joys Courtyard, a group of people saw the man who dominated the business world by day having his knee stepped on. He held a bottle of cat-eye nail polish and was currently bowing his head, diligently painting the toenails of the foot resting on his knee. "Is this okay?" With a coquettish air, Jessie Sterling glanced down, her chin slightly raised like a spirited little peacock, "Well, it's passable, I suppose. But I think it could use another coat?" Victor Morgan was almost driven to laugh in exasperation by her words. After setting down Jessie Sterling's leg, he moved forward, planting his hands on either side of her, his eyes deep and dark as he said in a low voice, "Mrs. Morgan, that's enough!" Before Jessie Sterling could react, in the next moment, the man had already leaned in and captured the red lips before him that had been tempting him for so long. "Mrs. Morgan, don't you think this... is what really needs another coat of color?" The group of people who had just walked through the courtyard entrance froze on the spot. How the hell could this be called... treating each other with polite respect?

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”
