Killing Dao Fruit

"Nine Heavens cast down the Undying Tree, from the tomb the Immortal's bones were fetched; Taoist Venerable tut-tutted as they drank blood plasma, Old Buddha relished in the chew of meat; Beasts and livestock rang the Dharma Drum, city foxes and hole-dwelling rats boiled in the pot; In the Immortality Wine, the resentful spirits were fishy, at the Killing Banquet, the Dao Fruit was bitter!” In this world where Daoist Skill manifested, countless Sect Cultivators, Side Door Magicians, princes and scholars, officials of high rank and nobles all coveted immortality! Owl God Tomb, stealing heavenly secrets, Pearl Gathering Skill, Holy Infant Pill, bone effigies, Yin God Shrine, human-transformed monsters, Undying Elixir, Red Line Poison, Blood Immortal insects, Mermaid Meat, gold-threaded robes, Five Poisons Primordial Spirit, Seven Star Life Extension... They killed and harmed life only to steal the "Killing Dao Fruit" borne upon that Undying Tree! Until... a sly "Fishing Man" came to this world. Wang Yuan, born with the Small Book of Life and Death, had but a simple and unadorned dream: Amid bustling strings and smoky vistas, on a night bathed in moonlight, in peace and quiet did I lean on the rail, savoring the wind, toasting to the stars. With his "Bride in bridal clothes," watching the sunrise at Taishan in the morning, admiring Qionghua in Luoyang at noon, and drinking under the aurora by the North Sea in the evening. "But you all smell so incredibly fragrant! No more, none shall escape, for today I shall crowdfund Cultivating Immortality! Please... my treasure, turn around!” The blood-red veil of the Bride abruptly fluttered to the ground.

The Devil in The Code

Zark Arnold Morales was once a programming prodigy, a self-taught coder who quickly mastered languages like Python, C++, and JavaScript. By the time he reached the prestigious Lumenis Institute of Technology, Zark had already earned a reputation for his exceptional talent in cybersecurity. He seemed destined for greatness, with a bright future in the tech world ahead of him. But tragedy shattered his promising life. His mother's death from illness and his father's murder over unpaid medical debts left Zark alone and grief-stricken. Forced to abandon his studies, he was left scrambling to survive, taking on freelance tech jobs just to keep a roof over his head. Gone were the ambitions that once drove him—now, his focus was simply to make it through each day. In a desperate bid to cover his rent, Zark hacked into what he thought was an anonymous cryptocurrency wallet, only to discover that it belonged to Jason Cheng, a powerful and ruthless leader of the Chinese mafia. Captured and tortured by Cheng’s men, Zark was coerced into making a dangerous deal: hack into the secure system of Cheng's rival mafia, or face certain death. Zark successfully executed the hack, but he knew that completing the job wouldn't be enough to earn his freedom. With Jason's men keeping him on a tight leash, Zark plotted his escape. Against the odds, he fled to the city’s squatter areas, a place where the desperate and forgotten lived outside the reach of law and order. There, Zark stumbled upon an underground network of renegade hackers, each with their own story of oppression and anger toward the corrupt government. Operating from hidden bases in the slums, these hackers fought for the poor and oppressed, using their skills to challenge the system that kept them down. Their ideals stirred something in Zark, awakening a spark of purpose he thought he had lost forever. But Zark's past isn't so easily left behind. Jason Cheng's men are hunting him, determined to exact their revenge. At the same time, the government has begun to crack down on the hacker group, viewing them as a serious threat. Caught between two powerful forces, Zark must decide whether to keep running or to fight back with the skills that once made him a legend. In The Devil in The Code, Zark finds himself at the center of a digital revolution where survival means mastering both the art of hacking and the darker side of human nature. With enemies closing in from all sides, Zark must choose whether to use his talent for personal gain—or for something far greater than himself. But in a world where information is the deadliest weapon of all, the lines between right and wrong are constantly shifting, and the price of freedom might just be his soul.
