I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

“Young man, I can tell from your skeletal structure that you have an extremely rare talent. You must be a one in a million prodigy in the martial arts. Now that the Blue Planet has ascended, mutant beasts are ravaging our homes, and foreign species are invading our land, our people are in grave danger. Here, I have an [Infinite Demon God Physique Training Method], I’ll give it to you for just two dollars. You shall be entrusted with the mission of maintaining world peace.” Xu Lingyun was touched. He said, “I can’t believe that you can actually see my true potential. Here’s four dollars, no need to give me change.” The scammer took the money, left him a fake secret training manual, and left feeling content. Xu Lingyun brought the secret manual home. He slapped the cover of the book. Instantly, the aged, tattered book started emanating a magnificent array of lights. An ancient and powerful aura filled the air, dominating the stars and piercing through the age. A fake? Oh please, in front of me, there is no such thing as “description may not match the actual item, please see the actual item”.

Tower of Origin: I Evolve All Rewards

When the ancient Towers descended, humanity’s fate was rewritten. Those who entered could gain power, wealth, and authority beyond imagination. But only a rare few awakened true talents capable of changing their destiny. Qin Yuheng, heir of a fallen ancient family, stood before the Awakening Stone and received the result everyone feared. Talentless. To the world, his path had ended before it even began. But hidden from every eye, another power awakened within him — a forbidden ability that could evolve anything the Tower rewarded. Weak fruits became heaven-defying treasures. Ordinary chests became ancient inheritances. Low-level rewards became stepping stones toward absolute power. Behind him stood a family burdened by forgotten glory, sealed wounds, and enemies waiting in the shadows. Before him rose the endless Tower of Origin. And Qin Yuheng would not merely climb it. He would evolve every reward, break every limit, and uncover the truth buried at the peak of the heavens.

Hello, this is the author of this story This story is really stupid but really captivating at the same time. Obviously, the story is inspired by classic superhero origin story but Sammy’s tale has a lot to offer besides just being a superhero story. It’s full of plenty high school drama and is weird in the best way possible. Of course there are still the basic superhero origin stuff, dead parents and whatnot. But the story has lots of great character interactions and each person that is introduced has their own quirks and flaws. I’d recommend a read. I think it’d be worth it and you won’t be let down! -Rigoberto_Garibay

I think the story is kind of fun. It's different having a superhero with a cultivation system. Although, gramps is kind of weird. I think the story is kind of fun.

It’s pretty good with none of this crazy misunderstanding that you get from other Chinese Webnovel. The story have a lot of intrigue in it with some mystery surrounding the FL origin. The ML is portrayed as some sort of superhero and the FL lead is actually pretty smart. Author spends time to build the character which makes you become attached to some of the sidekicks 🤭

Soul Game: I'm the Boss Behind the Scenes

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the old gods rose together. The Ji family used the First Flame to activate the eternal Zhou. The gods born from Pangu's blood were afraid of fire, so they controlled the supreme divine power to send down a flood that drowned everything. The chaos of war began to spread across the land like a plague. The fire of the royal family was the first to be extinguished… The Hundred Schools of Philosophy wandered in the darkness… The distant frontier had fallen into a breeding ground for foreign objects... This game, called Song of Nine, had become a global hit as soon as it was released. Chen Kui accidentally transmigrated into the game and became a witness to all of this. He was surprised to find that not only could he kill the monsters in the game, but he could also harvest the treasure rewards from the players. "Gou planning! Why did I lose my enhanced weapon after dying once?" Are you sure this isn't a plot kill?" "I'm paying a lot of money to fight for you! I've been stuck at this Elite monster for three days!" Chen Kui had become the most terrifying world boss in the eyes of countless players. Many years later, at the TGO annual festival, the designer of Song of Nine, who won the Best Game of the Year award, secretly nudged the planner beside him with his elbow. He looked at the game silhouette on the big screen and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure…? Is this really a character that we personally designed?“
