Kairo The One Who Watched Heaven Burn

Kairo: The One Who Watched Heaven Burn Genre: Dark Fantasy / Mythic Revenge / Seinen / Magic Tone: Brutal, tragic, mythological, with heavy emotional weight Kairo is the last blood of Zahrathos, progenitor of immortality—sworn for ages to carry out the will of heaven. When the First War erupts, the Old Gods are betrayed by their former disciples, the New Gods, who ascend by devouring their masters’ divinity. Kairo fights for the Old Gods and becomes the last obstacle to the usurpers’ throne. At the war’s end, the New Gods fear the undying heir of Zahrathos. They tear the Aion-Sigil (the brand of immortal lineage) from his soul and sear him with the Lethe Brand, a heavenfire seal that burns away his memories while leaving his immortality intact—cold, automatic, and stripped of feeling. Cast from the broken gates, he falls from the sky like a cinder and wakes in the mortal realm knowing only his name and a single image: heaven burning. Now in fragments he will fight the gods to avenge Zahrathos

The Slow Life of Sienna-Rose & Her 4 Wives [GxG]

Sienna, a 40-year-old assistant manager at an IT company, feels trapped in a monotonous life, for the luxurious lifestyle she craves. Without wealthy parents or a mysterious inheritance from her grandfather, she has had to work tirelessly to fulfill her dreams of wine in the weekend, fishing on the yatch on summer, skiing by winter, and touring a vineyard in fall. Her relentless focus on her career has come at the expense of her relationships, with most of her past girlfriends either cheating on her or leaving due to her constant neglect. Sienna's go-to response when relationships end is, "What else do they need?" - she simply doesn't understand why her past partners couldn't be satisfied with her providing for their material needs. Seeking an escape, Sienna immerses herself in a video game called 'Vintage Point', where the protagonist, male/female, inherits their grandfather's vineyard and creamery. Through the use of cheating codes she got from the game community, Sienna amasses unlimited wealth and the ability to have multiple wives in the game - living out her dream life virtually. "Oh lord, rich, vineyard, and wives. My dream life." One night, after a few too many glasses of wine, Sienna passes out in front of her computer. When she wakes up, Sienna finds herself in a large, medieval-style house, surrounded by four distressed women who seem to blame her for their current life. Disoriented and unsure of what is happening, "What is happening?" This unexpected turn of events propels Sienna into a surreal situation, where the line between her virtual dream life and reality becomes blurred.

“Married to the Crippled CEO” is an emotionally charged romance that blends vulnerability, strength, and slow-burn tension into a compelling story. The book shines in its portrayal of a misunderstood CEO whose physical disability does not define his power, intelligence, or quiet intensity. The heroine’s journey—from reluctant bride to someone who sees beyond his walls—feels heartfelt and believable. Read and adore

"Senior Brother, why did the queen of the Vermilion Bird clan call you Senior Brother? Did you secretly accept a junior sister behind my back?"

Add some points to cyberpunk and become the godfather

The sky was densely packed with airships, and the Dreadful Mobile Squad descended from the sky, bringing up smoke and dust. Harry looked around. There was no one around him except for broken limbs and flesh. From the huge Umbrella company to being alone now, he was already prepared to face death. The moment the members of the Trepidation Mobile Squad raised their guns and aimed, a calm voice sounded in everyone's ears. "I'm sorry, everyone. I still owe this gentleman a favor. Let's end today's performance here." What followed was the loud roar of the fist wind, which drowned out the roar of the airship. The sound of the firing of the Dreadful Mobile Squad was like the might of the heavens. "What did I tell you, Harry, you can always trust me?"

If I can't become an immortal, I can only become a demon.

Chen Ren awakened a panel. The panel was very simple. Killing ghosts would make him stronger. However, he gradually realized that something was wrong. Every time he killed a ghost, a ball of Yin Qi would fuse into his body. As the level of Yin Qi on the interface gradually increased, Chen Ren felt that he was about to become a real ghost. Suppressing the Yin Qi from entering his body, a strange spider lily grew out of his chest. Every time the flowers bloomed, Chen Ren would go berserk… P.S.: This book is mainly about the plot, not about leveling up, and half of it has a black soul background. Soul scientists, don't take it too seriously. I've only borrowed a portion of the settings and some famous scenes.
