Outside Lakeside Town.
Boom——
The footprint completely formed by the Fire of Secret Source was already within reach.
If one were to look down from a high altitude at this moment, they could clearly see a long trail of enormous fiery footprints stretching from the direction of the volcano all the way to Lakeside Town.
A series of inaudible howls continuously rippled through the night sky.
It seemed as if an invisible giant was steadily approaching the town.
...
"It's time to visit an old friend."
Lynn wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiling as he strolled forward.
All troubles originated from the gods.
He wasn't sure when it started, but every time his emotions became overwhelming, he would smile.
He kept smiling, as if doing so could suppress those emotions deep within him.
He had seen many dead people.
Enemies, friends, family, lovers, acquaintances—few had survived until now.
Sometimes, he really didn't want to recall those memories.
Because in his memories, everywhere was filled with the dead.
"In any case, Galord, you were indeed a fool just like me. Since we're both fools, I'll help you settle this debt too."
Lynn smiled.
With a single step, he covered a thousand meters.
His figure instantly appeared on the city wall of Lakeside Town.
His memory of the King of Secret Source was still from the eve of the Divine War a thousand years ago.
He vaguely remembered.
On the eve of the great battle, to counter the descent of the gods, he personally went to the King of Secret Source's secluded retreat and convinced him to come out.
Of course, this involved a fair amount of coercion, persuasion, deception, and trickery.
He still recalled the helpless words the King of Secret Source had spoken when he was forcibly brought here.
"Lynn, you bastard, if you want to die, don't drag me along! I've been hiding for tens of thousands of years, and you're throwing me into the fire!"
"Hehehe, is that so? Since a hundred years ago, I've seen you gathering Secret Source, accumulating power. Do you dare to say you weren't waiting for this day?"
"I... I was preparing to hide even deeper. Winter is coming soon; can't I stock up a bit more for the season?"
"Coward →_→"
"Coward says who?!"
"Coward says you!"
"Oh, so the coward is saying me."
"......"
"In any case, Lynn, I can accompany you on this gamble. I know the hatred in your heart, but I still want to remind you that gods are gods because they are invincible."
"If we lose this time, then we truly have nothing left."
"If we win, I'll treat you to a drink—authentic Lin En's Special Mystic Source Wine!"
Damn it! Darn it, can you stop mentioning that wretched wine of yours? Last time I drank it, I was vomiting and had diarrhea for decades. Do you know how much Secret Source I lost?!
Whenever Lynn thought of those memories before the Divine War, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift.
During the Divine War, he was targeted by the gods and died too early. When he resurrected decades later, he wasn't sure what had happened afterward.
However, since he could sense the King of Secret Source's presence this time, it meant that at least he had survived.
After all, he was the ultimate survivor!
How could someone who had hidden for tens of thousands of years die so easily?
And just at that moment.
Boom——
Another loud explosion echoed from outside the town.
A massive footprint appeared beyond Lakeside Town.
Here it comes!
Lynn immediately looked up, smiling faintly as his figure slowly floated into the air, standing tall in the sky.
"Brother! Long time no see. Do you still remember this old man?"
Lynn's slightly teasing voice rang out.
Then, he released a portion of his suppressed aura.
In an instant.
The entire Lakeside Town seemed to freeze. Just a part of his aura caused the space here to warp as if it couldn't withstand it.
The invisible giant seemed to have sensed the change in the surroundings.
The massive footprint stopped for the first time and didn't move forward again.
Vaguely.
Lynn could feel a gaze falling upon him.
Lynn smiled as he faced forward, saying:
"It's me, Lynn."
...
A brief silence.
It was as if time itself had frozen.
But it only lasted for a few seconds.
Boom——
The massive fiery footprint appeared on the streets of Lakeside Town, and the invisible giant directly passed through Lynn, as if it hadn't heard his words.
What was eerie was that.
When the massive footprint touched the houses on the street, it passed through them without causing any damage to Lakeside Town.
As if they were in two completely different yet overlapping worlds.
Lynn frowned slightly.
He sensed something was amiss.
"Source King, didn't you hear me? What's wrong with you?"
But Lynn still received no response.
The footprint lifted again.
Heading toward the church at the edge of Lakeside Town.
Lynn's eyebrows shot up, sensing something strange.
In an instant, he stretched out his hand, gently wiping over his eyes. The glow of Secret Source instantly flickered in his vision, then extended to his ears.
And in the next moment, through the perspective of Secret Source, he finally saw the scene before him clearly.
And at that very moment, he was stunned.
"This..."
What appeared before him.
Was a towering flame giant several hundred meters tall.
Its body was entirely constructed from flame energy, with Secret Source auras constantly emanating from it.
At a glance, he recognized it.
This invisible flame giant was the King of Secret Source's favorite form during battles.
But at this moment.
Countless massive chains were wrapped around its body, with the other ends of the chains extending far into the sky from where it had come.
Gurgle——
Gurgle——
The chains seemed alive.
One could see streams of Secret Source being drawn out from its body by the chains.
With every step it took, the chains tightened, causing its entire body to twist and deform.
"Roar——"
A roar that shook the entire night sky.
Under Lynn's gaze, the massive flame giant roared, stretching out its enormous hand toward the church in Lakeside Town.
But as soon as its hand touched the church.
The church instantly glowed with blinding divine light.
Boom——
Accompanied by ripples.
The flame giant's hand was directly shattered into countless fragments.
A shrill and painful wail.
And at that moment, Lynn finally saw everything clearly.
A massive cage spanning the heavens, extending from the church all the way to the horizon, covering the entire sky.
"I... am guilty..."
The flame giant's throat emitted a hoarse and hollow voice.
Its arm slowly regenerated, roaring again as it charged toward the church.
Boom——
Its body was repelled once more.
But it still stubbornly stood up, hollowly attempting to break through the cage.
"I... repent..."
Boom——
Boom——
One attack after another, one failure after another.
Lynn stood in mid-air, trembling as he watched all this, his hands clenching tightly. A surge of indescribable, violent anger swept over him like a tidal wave.
"I... beseech... Your forgiveness..."
The King of Secret Source raised its massive flame hand, hollowly lifting it toward the sky.
Its legs heavily knelt down.
Pulling the countless chains rooted in its body, its head heavily struck the ground.
"I beg... for your understanding..."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
