what still lingers

Spiritual Qi Resurgence, Gods descending? Continuous disasters, all living beings suffering? What does it have to do with me? I'm just a patient with an incurable disease, who's been given up on treatment and has a countdown to death. Embarking on the path of exorcising demons and annihilating immortals with my crippled body is not for the sake of protecting my family and country, but because the hazardous duty pay is too tempting, especially the compensation... "This Evil Gods profession system is cursed, even if there's smooth progress in the early stages, the practitioners will eventually commit suicide..." "Give me a set." "This Demon Sword poisons its user and has already taken ninety-nine lives..." "Give me two, and also that man-eating demonic helmet, soul-devouring blood claws, get me a set." "This Magic Potion is harmful to heaven and earth..." "Enough talk, I'll take them all!" However, the problem is, why am I still alive after taking on all these high-risk missions, stepping on every risk, and doing every deadly task? 【Congratulations, congratulations! Ranked first among the Top Ten Heroes Who Moved the World...】 "...Heavens, wasn't the average life expectancy in this line of work three and a half years? I've been here for one cycle of three years after another, I'm almost an S-level hunter, the first of the top ten heroes! Why am I still alive? I just want to make an honor sacrifice, scam some compensation! Is that so hard?!"

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Li Che war transmigiert und nachdem er neunzehn gewöhnliche Jahre gelebt hatte, entschied er sich, sein Schicksal zu akzeptieren, zu heiraten und Kinder zu bekommen, und strebte danach, seine Familie zu unterstützen. Aber in dem Moment, als seine Tochter geboren wurde.... Durch seine Tochter stieg er im Status auf, und sein Leben war nicht mehr gewöhnlich. ... Mit der sicheren Geburt seiner Tochter erhielt er eine Dao-Frucht, "Unsterblicher Kunsthandwerker". Als seine Tochter ein Jahr alt wurde, sicher und gesund, erhielt er die Dao-Frucht "Drachenelefant-Vajra". Im Alter von zwei Jahren seiner Tochter, frei von Krankheit und Unheil, gewann er eine Dao-Frucht, "Reines Herz". Als seine Tochter drei Jahre alt war, lebhaft und klug, gewann er eine Dao-Frucht, "Schach-Heiliger". Seine Tochter war vier, fünf, sechs Jahre alt.... ... Li Che entdeckte, dass er mit jedem weiteren Lebensjahr seiner Tochter eine Dao-Frucht verdichten konnte, um sich selbst zu verbessern. Von da an hegte Li Che einen einfachen und bescheidenen Wunsch. Eine Dao-Frucht pro Jahr, still die Langlebigkeit schützend. Als Vater wünschte er sich nur... Von der Wärme seiner Frau und seines Kindes am Herd aus, seine Tochter friedlich in ihrer Unsterblichkeit zu beschützen. Still unzählige Dao-Früchte verdichtend. Von nun an seinen Geist kultivierend, unbesiegbar zwischen Himmel und Erde.

Forced into a wedding sedan by her scheming sister, she lands beside Highness Nangong Mo, rumored blind, crippled, and dying. Wedding-night script: Highness: “I’m a broken man; divorce me and be free.” Yun Ran (tearful): “I’ll stay till your last breath.” Inner monologue he hears: [Divorce? Why? Free mansion, endless gold.

Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband. Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?" On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg. The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself. Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles." Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..." Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?" Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich. Many years later. A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore. A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own. The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."

VOLUME001 Ethan's dying wish I was left paralyzed with only a month to live, but that "9-inch" part of me was still hard as a rock. Even the sickly beautiful schoolgirl couldn't resist my "pecker," and to fulfill my dying wish, my sister even dressed up as a lady in black stockings to teach me how to "drill." What's more outrageous, the hospital nurses wanted to make a little movie with me, lining up with the head nurse at the front... Just after coming out of the emergency room, I saw the system panel: Name: Ethan Jones Gender: Male Length: 9 inches Skill: Hard as a Rock LV1 Note: Peak human hardness Dying Wish: To caress auntie's sheer black stockings Task Reward Points: 1000 points Despite my strength and stamina attributes being only at 1, and my agility at 0, only my "pecker" could lift the heavy blanket while doing squats. My face was full of question marks—what kind of bug is this system? Just because I like looking at auntie's legs, did it give me such a special skill? Now, I have no choice. I must complete tasks to earn points and add attribute points. However, the story actually begins 12 hours earlier... VOLUME002 Ryan's death mission Ryan had been diagnosed with late-stage heart disease, and as he neared the end of his life, he unexpectedly received a miracle drug from Ethan that brought him back from the brink.

Wait, what? He has to be killed by five girls, one after the other? The only way to come back to life is to die? What kind of twisted logic is that?! But if that’s the only way to survive, then so be it... Just, could you all not feel bad about killing me? And falling in love with me—what’s that about??? The gears of his fate quietly begin to turn... VOLUME003Ethan's new body Ethan has traveled back in time and gained the ability to swap bodies with a girl named Lila.

Credits go to the actual author of this book (Baek Deoksu), translations uploaded by (saltgoblin & I_Love_Kim_Soleum). A pop-up event for some ‘modern fantasy’ media I loved so much that I even took a precious day off work to attend. On that day, I ended up transmigrating as a character in that very fantasy world. As none other than a newly hired employee at a famous large corporation! A dream job with great benefits, an excellent salary, and even kind and competent bosses. I’m using the information I know about the world to rise through the ranks at lightning speed! Am I happy, you ask? Please, just let me go home. I’m begging you.

In her past life, Ming Lingyi married Li Yun in accordance with her parents' wishes. In the eyes of the world, she and Li Yun were considered childhood sweethearts. Many people envied her good fortune, for she had become Li Yun's wife even before the Li family founded the state. Not long after the founding of the Dayan Dynasty, in the first year of Jing'an, she became the noble and esteemed Empress. But in the second year of Jing'an, after giving birth to a prince, the Empress fell into a coma for two days before passing away. When Ming Lingyi awoke again, she discovered she had become Ming Yao, the daughter of a merchant. Great men have always been prone to faithlessness; she could no longer hold any affection for the cold-hearted man in the palace, but she unexpectedly heard a rumor circulating among the people— Empress Hui Ming had been deceased for five years, but Emperor Jing'an had never allowed the people to speak of the Empress's passing. There were even whispers that the Empress's body was never interred in the Imperial Mausoleum, but was instead placed by Emperor Jing'an on a Kunshan Cold Jade Bed in the palace, where he used his blood for soul summoning. Ming Lingyi: "???" Was this the Li Yun she knew? Later on, when a noble guest in a black cloak entered her small shop, Ming Lingyi was caught off guard as she met a pair of eyes that had suddenly turned crimson. "Yuan Niang…" A low murmur, as if afraid to startle her, fell lingeringly into her ear.

The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband.

Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
