If becoming a "tool" is already an inescapable and cruel fate,

What's even more cruel than that is maintaining one's human nature throughout the process.

The real world is destined to have imperfections, but there will always be those who refuse to be assimilated into that imperfect part.

They must use reason, emotion, and all purposeful labor to fight against this fate.

...

In the year 4631 of the world calendar, a middle-aged man who had been imprisoned in a foreign land for many years returned to his homeland, and the story officially began from there.

[Traditional Fantasy] + [No System] + [Lighthearted and Humorous] + [Decisive and Ruthless] Having suffered humiliation since childhood, his spiritual veins remained unawakened, and he endured the cold stares of his clan. By chance, Ye Muchen obtained the Devouring Heaven Creation Tower and cultivated the Devouring Heaven Creation Technique, enabling him to devour all things in the world.

[Reborn as a devoted lover, the ultimate villain!]

Gu Li was reborn, returning to the time before she went to university.

Lacking any aptitude for cultivation, she was originally at the mercy of others, eking out a living in fear of death.

But the mysteriously appearing fragments of the evil mirror gave her the most dangerous gift—

You can add points infinitely by using resentment, but the price is a gradually mutated body.

Burning hatred can lead to endless development of martial arts, but the price is a gradually distorted soul;

Replicating the ultimate techniques of a powerful master is as easy as breathing, but each move is engraved with the original owner's dying memories;

Flat-chested loli, 1.5 meters tall?

Gu Li smiled faintly: "What kind of villain is so cute?"

Chen Ge, who served in the army in his previous life, died a heroic death and transmigrated to a parallel world. He originally wanted to become a star with his stunning good looks, but because he couldn't accept the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, he chose to work as a security guard at an entertainment company.

Just then, the company's female celebrity was kidnapped abroad, and the golden finger that every transmigrator needs awakened, binding him to a multiverse network that allows him to recruit military talent and purchase weapons and equipment.

He decided to return to his old ways, establishing Umbrella Corporation, a global conglomerate, and forming Hafk Corporation, Giant Industries, and Weyland Technologies!

Recruiting Ada Wong from Resident Evil, Master Chief from Halo Spartan Warriors, Call of Duty: Task Force 141, Iron Rider and Seraph from CrossFire, Tifa, Aerith, Slaanesh!

A colossus was born, tearing open the cracks in the old world order and bringing a touch of the awe of a global behemoth to this parallel world!

[One Piece Fanfiction] + [Invincible Male Protagonist] + [Decisive and Ruthless]

Starting in God Valley, facing a three-way battle between the Navy, Roger, and Rocks, Lynn, a slave, makes a fourth choice—to devour the era!

Having obtained the power of the Mythical Ancestral Dragon, he not only didn't run away, but instead kidnapped the sea overlord, Rocks!

Thus began an unprecedented path to hegemony.

He doesn't want to be the Pirate King because the entire ocean will be his territory; he doesn't want to be a revolutionary because he wants to establish an order even more absolute than that of the Celestial Dragons!

"Im, get off that throne! From this day forward, I, Lynn D. Caesar, am the one and only king of this world!"

(Decisive and ruthless, many people will die + skipping the development process + no system, the system was driven away by the protagonist + to put it bluntly, it's a deus ex machina, it's a critique of the bloodline setting in the later stages of One Piece. If you mind, don't read it. If you get angry, it means your bloodline is wrong. It also criticizes Koby and Momonosuke.)

Quanji, a young man from Earth, transmigrates to the world of One Piece and obtains a system that grants him invincibility simply by signing in. After hiding for seven days, he directly attacks the Holy Land.

This is a story about the pirate world where Im died and everything was reshuffled.

(Don't be angry if the bloodline isn't right; Izumi's bloodline isn't right either, haha.)

It all started with a small-scale outbreak of a variant of rabies in Southeast Asia. As soon as the virus was added to the government's monitoring list, it seemed like a premeditated attack. Hospitals all over the world received at least hundreds of patients with the variant of rabies. Unsurprisingly, the apocalypse broke out, and it was unstoppable.

Mu Bai, a college freshman reporting for duty, wakes up after being bitten by an infected person, only to find herself inexplicably transformed into... a white-haired anime girl? Beside her lies something resembling a bird-beak mask...

After the decades-long crisis was brought under control, a survivor of the apocalypse told a story in a restaurant... There was a strange doctor who wore a bird-beak mask, was highly skilled in medicine, and no one had ever seen his true face.

She wandered the wasteland, helping survivors. According to some survivors who died or went missing before the crisis was brought under control, she was a strange person. No one knew how to get this doctor to help them, but she was indeed highly skilled in medicine and even invented various miraculous drugs such as antidotes and inhibitors. The strange person experimented on zombies, and some zombies or infected animals did not attack her. Even more audacious claims were that she could control zombie rat hordes and several special mutants, the survivor said in the restaurant.

This story is interesting, isn't it? Even though the survivor kept repeating it, he wasn't actually telling a story...

(No superpowers + white hair + apocalypse + plague doctor + firearms + single female lead)

Bare-handed Susanoo blasts, bow drawn to shoot Raikage. Close-quarters stealth technique, blink of an eye optical sword. Gentle Fist Technique engine, Starburst Slash. Heavenly Reversal, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. At this moment, standing before you is the Fifth Hokage—Hyuga Yu! Hyuga Yu: The Hyuga is the strongest clan in Konoha, remember that well! —This story begins with a cannon fodder genin with no cheat codes, only at Elite 2 level.

Harmful creatures, the sanctimonious Taoist Master Fu, the kind-hearted Buddhist butcher...

This is a world where human life is worth less than grass.

Lin Ruoxu, touching the scorching Tai Chi jade, trembled as he embarked on the treacherous immortal path, a path of near-death experience...

I am not the murderous blade that cleaves through this chaotic and evil world, but a tiny feather struggling against the darkness and dust!

PS: This is a series about cultivating immortals, and the protagonist is dark. Don't click if you don't like it.

[Light Hundred] After being baptized by a dump truck, Lin Yun successfully transmigrated, but...

What the heck is the Fireworks Panel? Change back to normal, I don't want to become a girl.

What's even more concerning is

Why are there so many ghosts?! Brains, intestines, blood...

Wow, I'm so excited!!!

Huh???

——————————————————

"Beautiful lady, what's your name?"

"Me? Lin Yun,"

Or you can call me Fireworks.

(I'm really sorry, this is my first time writing a book, the beginning is terrible, even I can't stand reading it. But from chapter 27 onwards there's a qualitative leap, you can start reading from there. Don't worry about the setting or anything, because the beginning doesn't make any sense at all.)
