A generation's mighty and most powerful expert died mysteriously and reincarnated without any memories on a small planet far away from the Cultivation World. This small planet was earth. Five thousand years ago, a great calamity descended on earth. Countless Spatial Cracks appeared in the sky and beasts invaded. After hundreds of years of fighting, humans discovered they could awaken a battle spirit that can help them raise their strength and grant them the abilities that were simply unimaginable for humans before. Qin Feng also awakens his battle spirit but unfortunately, it was swallowed by his own birthmark, The Infinity Symbol. This was just the beginning of the mysteries that surrounded him like invisible specks of dust. He soon discovered that the 'Infinity Symbol' was actually not his birthmark but something mysterious from another world. The Infinity Symbol helped him awaken a Divine Battle Spirit and granted him a Nameless Cultivation Technique that was beyond the world's limit. He also discovered that he could not die! Every time, he was killed, he returned back in time with the memories of what is going to happen in the future. Soon after awakening the Divine Battle Spirit, a mysterious beautiful lady stepped into his life and told him that he does not belong to the earth. He was actually the reincarnation of someone called 'KING'. The mysteries that surrounded him like the invisible specks of dust started to come on the surface from the day of his awakening, revealing many secrets to him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are some grammatical errors so please ignore them and enjoy the story.

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?”

The use of suspense is masterful. The slow build - up as the narrator plans the murder and then the increasing paranoia afterwards create a truly nerve - wracking reading experience. The story also has a very atmospheric setting which adds to the mystery. It's set in a rather dreary and claustrophobic place which enhances the feeling of dread and unease.

I, the model of the righteous path, how can I become a demon!

Shang You stood on the mountain peak and looked at the broken sky above his head as he chanted softly. Above the green sky, immortals appear, and divine light gathers in the divination of heaven. The ancient ruins of the Nine Realms were explored, and the treasures of Kunlun were locked in secret boxes. The Eight Desolates Sects started to fight, and the four sects 'prodigies danced in the sky. Now that the immortal destiny had descended upon the Nine States, who in the world could ascend? His gaze was far-reaching, and his pupils constantly reflected images of his past. After Shang You transmigrated to this world, he worked hard to cultivate and successfully entered the Green Firmament Grotto-heaven with the help of his system that could help others realize their hopes and become stronger. In the sect, his fellow disciples admired him very much and called him a genius who was willing to help others and an honest scum. Outside the sect, the disciples of Tian Ji Sect said that he was a genius who was entangled with the sect master. The disciples of Nine Realms Sky Pavilion said that he was a kind person who was entangled with the saintess. The disciples of Karakorum Immortal Mansion said that he was entangled with the sect and that he was a bastard that only appeared once in ten thousand years. Being loved by Karakorum Immortal Mansion, Shang You had always felt a great pressure. Later on, Shang You felt even more pressure. Because he was showing signs of becoming a demon. The conversation between him and the demonic witch was still vivid in his mind. "Shang You, you're destined to come to my side." "Bullshit!" Sigh, I was really young and frivolous at that time. It would have been better if I had agreed. Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. It was time to risk his life. Shang You protected the lights below him and looked at the terrifying figures in the crack in the sky. He raised his sword and said angrily,"Damn it, where are the Ascendant cultivators?" Come and save me! He shouldn't have believed the words of those scammers from the Archaic Mysteries Sect! When I get back, I will beat up the people of Karakorum Immortal Mansion to vent my anger!"
