In a world where power is governed by the Eight Fundamentals of magic, talent isn’t earned—it’s measured. Kai never had talent. After surviving a demon attack that should have killed him, he’s recruited into the Victor Solomon Institute, an elite academy that trains magic users to fight threats humanity barely understands. But the system doesn’t see him as special. Low potential. No lineage. No ability. Ranked near the bottom, Kai is thrown into a brutal environment where strength defines worth—and weakness is erased. Yet something doesn’t add up. His power awakened naturally. His perception exceeds expectation. And beyond the academy walls, whispers spread of cults, disappearances, and a clan whose influence runs deeper than anyone admits. As Kai struggles to keep up, he’s pulled into a world where: Potential can be engineered Strength is controlled And the strongest don’t always follow the rules Because in a system built on fundamentals… Someone like him shouldn’t exist.

Nixon Vance and Barrett Cross are hockey’s most infamous rivals—one a disciplined legacy captain, the other a reckless wildcard who lives for chaos. Their hatred fuels the league until a shocking marriage between their powerful parents makes them legal stepbrothers overnight. To protect their family’s billion-dollar sports empire, they are forced to fake a perfect public relationship while living together and competing for a future executive role within the franchise. But behind closed doors, resentment turns into dangerous attraction, and their secret relationship quickly spirals into something neither of them can control. Then a single lingering glance during a press conference goes viral. Suddenly, fans and internet sleuths begin dissecting years of footage, convinced there’s more between them than rivalry. As suspicion grows and a private investigator is hired to follow them, Nixon and Barrett are forced to hide their relationship while the entire hockey world watches for them to break.

In the inchoate annals of esoteric traditions, the manifold essence of sorcery is shrouded in a tapestry of ineffable complexities. The neophyte, venturing into this eldritch domain, must be prepared to immerse in a labyrinthine lexicon and cryptic concepts that transcend the mundane and pierce the very fabric of reality. This tome, Arcana Obscura, aspires to be a beacon for the aspirant, a guide through the enigma that is fundamental sorcery, delineating the intricacies of thaumaturgy with an obsessive granularity.

The year is 3049. A thousand years ago, humanity discovered that some people carry a talent gene — an ability that awakens in new generation of humans and grants control over forces ranging from fire and ice to the very fabric of spacetime. The world rebuilt itself around this discovery. Awakeners became researchers, scientists, and engineers. They cracked warp travel, antimatter reactors, and Dyson clouds. They didn't become warriors. Fighting wastes Spirit Force, and Spirit Force is expensive to replenish. When you have a grudge, you settle it with a research wager, the winner gets all your life work. When you want power, you study. White Astris already knew what he had before he ever walked into the testing room. Three months of vivid dreams and strange incidents. White had awakened the Four fundamental forces. Gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. The four interactions that hold all matter and energy in the universe together. One person, carrying all of them simultaneously, for the first time in recorded history. The machine found two. It always stops at two — nobody had ever awakened more than 2 talents, so the programmers of the Talent detector forgot to write a little code. IF Number of Talent > 2, Display ALL. But that little line of code wasn't written and it worked in White favour. It only detected his Gravity and Electromagnetism Talents The room erupted over Gravity and Electromagnetism alone. Top institutions were flagging his file before the session ended. White said nothing about the other two. He didn't know enough yet to explain them properly, and an explanation he couldn't back up was just noise. What follows is the story of how he closes that gap — through comprehension, through battle, through the kind of grinding practice that turns theory into instinct. Through school rivalries and college trials that push him harder than he expected. Through field missions where the stakes are real. Through a war that will force everything he's built to either hold or break. In this world, talent rank is just a number. What you comprehend about your ability is what makes you a god. White Astris has the ability of a god and the current output of a first-year student. He intends to fix that.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
