Chapter 1Chapter 1: Back to Youth

In the summer of 2013, during the vacation in Hui Province, Guyang County, a city bus was en route to Yuzhou City.

The heat of summer prevailed, and it was the afternoon, causing all the passengers on the bus to feel drowsy.

In the back row, a pale-skinned boy suddenly opened his eyes as if he had just awoken from a dream, his face initially clouded with confusion, then he looked around.

The handrails, seats, windows, and curtains were all brand new.

"This can't be the bus 311 from the summer vacation after my middle school exams in '13, when I was headed to Yuzhou City to start my first year of high school, can it?"

"I clearly remember that the 311 city bus service started this year, covering forty kilometers and costing ten yuan."

"At that time, I was riding to Yuzhou City with my cousin's sister."

Jiang Ning turned his head, his shoulders felt somewhat heavy, a girl was leaning on his shoulder, her hair partially covering her face, eyes shut, sleeping profoundly.

"Everything matches up."

"But didn't I fail in overcoming the tribulation, destroyed utterly by the thunder tribulation? Why am I here?"

"Could it be that I've been reborn?"

Jiang Ning's pupils dilated, his centuries of Cultivation had long since crafted him a heart as still as an ancient well, yet at this moment, his heart was brimming with hope.

"I'm back, I didn't perish in the heavenly tribulation but have returned to my youth."

Jiang Ning, one of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Luoyun Sect, also known as 'Not Foolish True Monarch.'

In his previous life, at the age of twenty-seven, he passed through a spatial fissure to the Cultivation World.

He was gifted, born with a Heavenly Spirit Root, and upon entering the sect, was immediately taken as a direct disciple by an elder. In just three hundred years, he achieved Nascent Soul Perfection.

Though an ascetic, his ability in spell combat was exceedingly formidable, having once eradicated the Seven Nascent Soul Sects, he instilled fear across the entire Central State Cultivation World.

Regrettably, he ultimately perished under the Divinity Transformation Tribulation, struck to dust by the thunder tribulation.

Right until the moment of his tribulation, Jiang Ning finally grasped that although he was revered by countless as a True Monarach of the Nascent Soul, his Dao Heart had severe flaws.

Under the assault of his inner demons, the various Tribulation Crossing Magical Treasures he had meticulously prepared were of no use, as his soul was scattered instantaneously.

The reason was that in the year he turned twenty-seven, the death of his loved ones, the departure of his lover, and setbacks in his career had already deadened his heart, and thereafter, he merely existed apathetically.

When the sect offered him a technique that claimed to abandon all passions and desires, supplemented by his Heavenly Spirit Root, he unhesitatingly agreed.

From then on, he became an emotionless cultivation machine, advancing rapidly, surpassing all past ancestors of the Luoyun Sect.

However, during the Divinity Transformation Tribulation, he realized that true divinity meant transcending the mundane; having discarded all passions and desires, how could he achieve such transcendence?

Thus, he failed.

Jiang Ning felt through his body, only to discover that his profound mana, capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, had completely vanished.

Even his Divine Sense, that could perceive over ten thousand miles, had disappeared.

He pinched his thigh with force.

"It hurts, it hurts too much."

The physique capable of withstanding magical treasures was also no longer present.

"This isn't a dream, I've truly returned."

Mana, Divine Sense, a body tempered through arduous cultivation, Magic Treasure Divine Weapons, Elixir Pills, talismans, countless years of treasured collections, all were lost.

No matter how terrifying the Divinity Transformation Tribulation was, it would not be able to completely strip him of everything.

What further convinced Jiang Ning that all this was real was that, incredibly... he was able to smile again.

Ever since he practiced the technique that claimed to forsake all feelings, he hadn't smiled for three hundred years; he had lost the instinct to laugh.

Jiang Ning's heart was filled with joy, and despite losing years of arduous cultivation, there was not a trace of dejection.

Because only at this moment did he truly feel like he was not a piece of wood, but a real person.

Suddenly, there was a movement on his shoulder.

The girl woke up, her fair and delicate face slightly blurred with drowsy eyes, a few messy strands of hair falling on her forehead made her irresistibly charming. However, Jiang Ning quietly shifted away.

Jiang Ning was born in a small town under Guyang County, Yuzhou City.

His parents worked in the coastal region all year round, and he grew up with his grandparents in a very ordinary family.

Jiang Ning scored 650 points in his middle school exam, surpassing the admission score for Yuzhou City Fourth Middle School. For better education opportunities, his parents asked their relative who lived in Yuzhou City, Jiang Ning's uncle, if Jiang could stay at his home and attend Fourth Middle School.

His uncle gladly agreed. However, the three years of high school at his uncle's home were not happy ones.

His aunt was not easy to get along with, being mean-spirited and disdainful towards the poor, she often found reasons to discipline Jiang Ning. Adding to that, her son who was Jiang Ning's cousin and the same age as him.

Living under someone else's roof, Jiang Ning inevitably faced comparisons, and in every aspect he wasn't as good as his cousin, so he suffered all kinds of setbacks, not to mention countless unequal treatments.

Consequently, after graduating, Jiang Ning never went back to his uncle's house, and the once close family ties turned incredibly frosty.

Sitting next to Jiang Ning was Shen Qing'e, who came from the same town as him. She was the younger sister of Jiang Ning's cousin's wife, and would be living with them at the uncle's house in the future.

Shen Qing'e was beautiful, and a younger Jiang Ning, admiring her, fell for her.

Whenever he had tasty snacks or fun toys, he shared them with her, treating her incredibly well, completely doting on her like a ''fawning dog."

He thought that living together would make it easier for him to win her heart.

However, after Shen Qing'e arrived in Yuzhou and saw the bigger world, how could a small-town boy like Jiang Ning catch her eye?

Compared to the peers in Yuzhou City, Jiang Ning nearly had no advantages to speak of—average looks, not very tall, and also not good at sports.

The high grades from his town became just mediocre in the city, far behind the top students in his class.

With only one hundred yuan a month for pocket money, what could he use to gain the favor of Shen Qing'e?

Throughout the three years, Shen Qing'e kept Jiang Ning on the hook, being ambiguous with superior guys, occasionally paying him some attention, which often left him distressed. After the college entrance exam, Shen Qing'e and a tall, handsome classmate went to a prestigious university in a coastal city with bright futures ahead.

Jiang Ning only got into a second-tier college. By the time he graduated and started working, he had come to terms with Shen Qing'e's past behavior, silently deleted her contact information, and from then on, they had no further contact.

Seeing Shen Qing'e again, Jiang Ning almost felt as if worlds apart, vividly recalling many memories about her; indeed, the impression the girl had left on him was profound.

It all came down to Jiang Ning's hundreds of years of cultivation, spending 99% of his time immersing in harsh cultivation practices, becoming an ascetic cultivator.

"How much longer until we reach the station?" Shen Qing'e rubbed her eyes.

Jiang Ning looked at the roadside sign outside; they were almost at the station.

Seeing that Jiang Ning did not respond, Shen Qing'e frowned slightly and raised her voice,

"Jiang Ning, where are we?"

"We're almost at the station," Jiang Ning replied.

Shen Qing'e seemed to realize something and fell silent.

The bus entered the station, and the conductor shouted. Jiang Ning, carrying his suitcase, got off the bus.

"Jiang Ning, the suitcase is so heavy!" Shen Qing'e struggled to lift it, blinking at Jiang Ning.

If it were the old Jiang Ning, seeing her like this, he would have rushed to carry it for her without being asked.

Now, looking down at his own slender frame, Jiang Ning thought it best to decline.

Shen Qing'e, speechless, dragged the suitcase away resentfully.

Jiang Ning followed the crowd towards the station exit.

At the exit, Shen Qing'e looked at a milk tea shop across the street, twisting a lock of hair from her forehead:

"I'm so thirsty, I don't know when they'll arrive."

...

Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"If you intended to die anyway, don't die quietly like a pussy! Go out in a fucking blaze of glory!" That was the statement that changed my world forever. I was a loser in life. I died and got reincarnated into a Revenant. Revenants were people who defended the living from the dead. In exchange for a second life, they had one task and were blessed with one cheat ability. The task? To kick as much zombie ass as possible. Unfortunately, my cheat just made me "Rewind". It didn't give me super strength, speed or the ability to fly. Hell, it didn't even give me a way to fight! Without any way to kill zombies, I nearly died on my first day on the job! Back then I remember crying and puking all over the place like a little bitch. But while I started out like a little bitch, I didn't stay one. Dying full of regrets changed me you see. So much so that I made a promise. I refused to repeat my mistakes when I was human. Reborn as a Revenant, I will never bow down to anyone ever again. Unfortunately, these Revenant bastards were old school. Like they hacked zombies with swords and all that crap old school. As a man born in the USA, I saw no reason why I needed to follow their outdated way of thinking. The modern world had the superpower of gun powder and lead. So instead of swords, I came after every zombie I saw with guns. Like countries in the middle east, I proceeded to blow the motherfuckers to kingdom come. And surprisingly because of "Rewind", I found out I could never run out of ammunition. $200 for each kill. Hefty bonus for each area of hell liberated. What scared normal people shitless suddenly allowed me to earn millions every day. The richer I got the more "Freedom" I could unleash! Mortars, tanks, air strikes to even nukes. Backed by modern science and technology, I slowly but surely drove the undead back. Along the way, I met and saved seven heavenly beauties. And all of them fell in love with me. They were a little obsessive, scratch that, they were all fucking insane. My precious harem was comprised of nothing but Yanderes in every sense of the word. Still, I would willingly burn the entire world for any of them. For when I called, only my battle harem answered. And that was even before I learned of another secret. Exchanging bodily fluids with my girls gave me their cheats. Suddenly, in contrast to every Revenant in the world who only had one, I alone wielded eight. One from each girl plus my own. And so unfolded my 2nd life. Which eventually became my legend. Who am I you ask? I was born as John Smith. But these days not even my girls use that name. Both on Earth and in Hell everyone else just calls me Limitless. And I am the Strongest Revenant. *************************** Author Notes: Harem size: 7 | No NTR | No Yuri | No Grape Novel Focus: Action, Adventure, Urban Fantasy, Reincarnation, Dark, Weak to Strong, Battle Harem, Beautiful Heroines, YANDERE Heroine, Military, Loyal Subordinates, Kingdom Building, War, Politics, Conspiracies, Overpowered, Face Slapping, Tragedy, Character Development, Multiple POVs, Betrayal, Alternate Realities, Demons, Zombies, Superpowers, Tower Climbing, Tower Defense, Wish fulfillment.

Omnipotent Husband System

Hao Ren was born in another world and has lived for over twenty-two years being nothing but a definition of the word, average. After a high school reunion, the young man sat down on the beach shore, and mumbled to the sky, "God of Novels, you are unfair. I spent forty years of my life doing nothing but reading books and stories written by others. I worked hard to manifest this rebirth, and yet you did not bless me with anything. Why?" A voice echoed in his mind, "Host, you have the Omnipotent Husband System." Hao Ren scoffed and scolded the system, "What is the use of having you when you are not even active? Are you shitting with me, you bastard?!" The system replied, "Host the condition for activating the system is to get married." Hao Ren could not handle it anymore and cried out loud as he complained about this condition. He was not good-looking, and neither was he wealthy, who was going to marry him? Tired, he spent the on the beach. When he was returning home, he passed by the marriage registering center. He sighed for his fate but suddenly, a beautiful lady asked him, "Hey, do you have any identity card on you?" Hao Ren nodded in a daze, and the lady dragged him inside the office. The young man was yet to register what happened to him when an automated voice sounded, "Host, congratulations on getting married. Omnipotent Husband System is now activated." ... Years later, Hao Ren became an entity many people wished to meet. However, Hao Ren never stayed outside, to everything he had one reply, "I have to go home and cook for my wife." Would you like to know his journey from an average to an over-achieving person standing at the apex of power and prestige? ...
