In my previous life, I was half a step short of playing chess and ultimately failed to reach the top.

Traveling back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world!

To become the strongest in this world, you only need three simple steps:

1. Picked up a demon girl who just traveled through time on the street.

2. Subdue demons and monsters.

3. Bring her cultivation techniques.

Yay! Already invincible!

————————

Many years later, Yan Yu, who had won the title of "the strongest", accepted an interview with a TV station:

Host: Who do you most want to thank for your success today?

Yan Yu: I want to thank a woman who is very important to me.

Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your good wife?

Yan Yu: No, it’s just a stepping stone.

Host (wiping sweat): So... what about your other teammates? They should have helped you too, right?

Yan Yu: How could the long stairway to godhood have only one stepping stone?

Looking at the declining sect, Lin Fan set a rule:

1. Applicants with the surnames Xiao, Ye, Shi, and Lin will be given priority for admission.

2. Those who like to talk to themselves with rings and other objects will be given priority.

3. Those who have survived disasters more than three times and whose fiancées have mysterious origins will be given priority in admission.

4. Those whose engagements have been annulled or whose parents have disappeared mysteriously will be given priority for admission.

5. Those who are targeted and made things difficult for them as soon as they arrive outside the gate will be given priority for admission.

6. Those who like to wear mysterious smiles at the corners of their mouths, and whose enemies also like to smile arrogantly, will be directly designated as direct disciples.

Seven: Those whose bones have been dug out and who are in danger will be directly designated as direct disciples.

eight:···

On this day, the fifth elder came to report: "Sect Master, what a happy event. There is a person who has been annulled, has a mysterious smile on his lips, and likes to talk to the ring! His parents are also missing?"

"What? Let him in quickly, I want to take him in... By the way, what's his name?"

"It seems his surname is Tang."

"Your surname is Tang?! Wait, don't bring it. This sect leader will personally shield Tianji and edit a book. You can bring it and introduce it to the enemy sect..."

"Remember to be tactful, and also! From today on, my sect leader will be in seclusion. Please do not ask me to leave seclusion unless there is something important!"

"By the way, be sure to keep an eye on all the sect's secret books to avoid being robbed by thieves!"

Fifth Elder: "Ah?!"

About the story of the immortal corpse reincarnated: In the last days of the Dharma, the immortal corpse reincarnated and ascended to heaven, accidentally descended into the wizard world and became a wizard pursuing the truth.

After surviving the apocalypse for 28 years, Li Lin was reborn before the apocalypse.

At this time, he carries the attribute panel and is determined to kill his way through the apocalypse.

The apocalypse is coming, and killing is the way to prove the truth.

Reject all moral kidnapping!

Reject all hypocritical saints!

There is nothing that cannot be solved by killing. If there is, then add another arrow.

(The protagonist is ruthless and doesn't talk much. This book is not saintly, does not lower intelligence, does not lick dogs, everything is based on self-interest, if you don't like it, don't read it.)

Ruthless Protagonist | Mutation & Evolution | Dark Fiction | Eldritch Horror | Cthulhu Elements | Evil Gods | Indescribable

Summary:

In a world ravaged by monstrous creatures, plagued by bizarre phenomena, and teeming with unspeakable evils, humanity is no more than a fragile speck, preyed upon by horrors beyond comprehension. These eldritch entities treat the world as their playground, and human lives are as insignificant as ants.

This is a brutal world, one where not only monsters devour humans, but humans devour each other, and even the world itself seems to consume its own people.

Under the eerie light of a twisted moon and abnormal sun, three major factions rule this nightmarish realm: Dan Ghosts, Venomous Insects, Yin Talismans, Poison Gods, Corpse Cultivators, Mountain Fiends, Famine Spirits, Witch Mediums, Three Corpses, and Plague Bugs... An endless web of dark powers and terrifying forces.

Into this chaos steps Zhang Yang, who transmigrates into this grotesque world with a mysterious BUFF system. As he gains one overpowered BUFF after another, his power grows beyond comprehension.

Until one day, looking back on his path... he realizes:

The greatest and most terrifying evil god in this world, is himself.

During a drunken hangover, the once familiar earth became a magical world. Guided by the old parchment, Zhang Cheng traveled through different fantasy worlds, embarking on an incredible journey, acquiring knowledge, skills, and power in each world. Little by little, uncover the huge secrets hidden behind…

When Gao Fan tried to paint the “God” with a brush.

madness descends.

? Gushing from the bottom of the sea, rising from the ground, descending from the sky… From the beginning and end of the sequence to the sentient beings with despair.

Lately, rumors have been circulating that I, Chen Xingzhi, am the same person as those reincarnators who terrorize newcomers—like the Daoist Xuanjun who spreads the Seven Secret Chapters of the Mysterious Lord, the sinister martial artist claiming to be the 18th-generation heir of Cthulhu-style Xingyi Boxing, or the Whisper of the Void, known for tricking others into signing dark pacts with eldritch gods.

Allow me to clarify: these are nothing but baseless slanders. As one of the first-generation reincarnators, I can assure you—we would never harm newcomers. If you’re new here and facing any challenges, you’re more than welcome to seek our help.

We’re more than happy to offer you warm and comprehensive starter support, including (but not limited to): instruction in Lovecraftian spellcraft, full-body cybernetic modification, and pact-forming with the Five Deities of the Virtual Realm—all to ensure your steady development on this path.

And let me emphasize once again: I, Chen Xingzhi, have absolutely not been experimenting on newcomers. I’ve merely helped them… shift genres a little.

[Role Reversal—You'll See What Cruelty Is] + [No Female Lead]

When the human world was infiltrated by monsters and humanity was helpless, a game called [Night Paradise] suddenly appeared.

In this game, humans became the [Slaughterers], while monsters became the [Survivors].

After entering the game, Lin Yuan, who had been reborn, drew an X-Level Talent: Slaughter Abyss.

The effect of this talent is: For every perfect kill of a survivor, you can gain 2 points of Brutality, 1 point of Agility, and 1 point of Perception.

"With the roles reversed, Lin Yuan will use the weapon in his hand to show those monsters what true cruelty is!"

[Dark + Traditional Cultivation! The protagonist follows a twisted path—decisive, ruthless, and anything but kind. If you prefer gentle heroes, this isn’t for you.]

The so-called Immortal Path is nothing but hypocrisy—built on blood and bones.

Lu Li claws his way out of a pit of corpses, uses bones as his lantern, and walks a road only true demons dare tread.

From that moment on: killing, soul harvesting, bone refinement, devouring the heavens.

If I ascend, I shall butcher all who call themselves Immortals.

— The Four Steps of Cultivation:

Qi Condensation (10 Layers) → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul
