The Human Giant
There is always the desire to be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest, and to reach the apex of everything. To some, they believe that talent determines everything. To others, hard work is more important. For many to reach the apex of any field a combination of talent, hard work, and determination is needed.
In a world where powerful demons, unkillable immortals, and strange monsters ran amok. Where human lives were treated on the same level as ants. Yoze, a young man who had transmigrated from Earth to this dangerous world could only rely on his hard work, strong will, and his cheat, the Second Best System to that makeup for his lack of talent and resources.
With his desire to improve his family's life and his ambition to surpass human limits, he set his eyes on passing the Scholar exam as he took his first step toward dominating the world. Whether it was humans, demons, monsters, immortals, or gods they all were within his sights and would soon become a stepping stone for his rise to excellence.
"You are a genius of 1000 years. Okay, I'm a genius of 900 years. I'll surpass you in three years."
"You are the most talented runner in the world. That's okay, I'm fine with being the second most talented runner but I bet I can surpass you in three months."
"Having the most talent doesn't mean anything unless you use it. You are born with talent. I earned it. You are afraid of demons while I cherish seeing every demon." Yoze smiled as he looked at the nine-headed immortal under his feet.
"I heard that Immortals can't die. Let's test that rumor."
As Yoze advanced on his journey he slowly discovered that there was no supreme power system or logic that this strange world followed. Whether the Spiritual Energy that the demons monopolized, the Crystal Energy that could create entire worlds, or the Inner Vigor that humans held close to their hearts. Yoze was determined to become the master of them all!
Mr_Palados · Fantasy
It's not really well written, the author heavily uses AI but because he can't speak English well, the text isn't checked leading to errors. The MC is being crippled for the sake of plot. The MC is faster than the fastest Asgardian soldier, yet refuses to dodge any attacks leading to his bones somehow getting broken by a single punch from an unnamed Frost Giant, like this shouldn't even be happening. He wields a spear yet refuses to thrust, rather he swings it around like a sword. The MC has enough heat to melt a kingdom yet that isn't enough to melt some snow that is covering a village? Instead he has to draw on the Sun for extra heat? It was literally stated he could melt Uru and reduce it to Ash with ease. Except he was also trapped in Uru shackled just before that... The other characters are also being crippled too. An Asgardian General was oneshot because a Frost Giant, probably Laufey I stopped reading at this point, conjured an ice spear as the General charged at him... Amora, by Loki's word was a very poweful sorceress, was somehow oneshot too, want to know how? She was encased in ice. It wasn't instant, the guy had a whole monologue yet she just didn't cast a single spell because of the "pain". Amora is also a Yandere, which if its your thing, ok, but to me it got annoying real fast.
