​Title: The Zenith Merchant: Trading Souls in a Dying World

ushyscribe
In a world where the gods have long departed, only one currency remains: The Soul. ​In the Empire of Astrum, your worth is determined by your "Soul Rank" at birth. Those born with Gold Souls become Kings and Heroes, while those with Iron Souls are destined for a life of slavery. Zael was born with something even worse—a "Void Soul," a rank so low it shouldn't exist. ​Betrayed by his family and left to die in the Abyssal Mines, Zael awakens a forbidden power: The Zenith Marketplace. ​Unlike the warriors who use their souls to fight, Zael can see the "Market Value" of everything. He can buy a dying warrior’s talent for a few years of life. He can trade a criminal’s guilt for a hero’s luck. In his shop, memories are bought, destinies are sold, and even the power of the gods has a price tag. ​"You want to be a King? That will cost you fifty years of your lifespan and your ability to feel love. Do we have a deal?" ​Follow Zael as he climbs from the pits of despair to the peak of the world, not with a sword, but with a ledger. In a world of monsters and heroes, the most dangerous man is the one who knows exactly what your soul is worth.

World martial art

Legends are not born. They are forged — through pain, defeat, and unbreakable will. Leo, a boy from a small village in Nepal, always believed he was ordinary. But everything changed the day a forgotten evil awakened in the mountains — the Dragon Spirit, once sealed away by Leo’s own father. Kaito Jin, a rogue wielder of beast power, breaks the seal and unleashes chaos. Leo tries to fight, but he is powerless. His father sacrifices himself to protect him. That day, Leo loses everything. But he gains one thing — a reason to rise. Carrying the scar over his left eyebrow, the memory of his father, and two unimaginable spirits inside him — the Lion King (Guardian of the Gods) and the Phoenix (God of Fire), a power connected to his mother’s soul — Leo begins a journey across nations. In China, ancient masters push him beyond his limits. In Korea, he learns discipline, philosophy, and inner balance. In Japan, he encounters powerful rivals and a girl who slowly changes his life. In India, Indonesia, and other countries, he faces challengers, builds friendships, and discovers new forms of martial arts. From international tournaments to mysterious beast realms, Leo must face fear, rivalry, loss, and the uncontrollable powers within him. Because one day, he must confront Kaito again. Not as a weak boy… but as the strongest martial artist the world has ever known. This is World Martial Art — a journey of strength, growth, destiny, and the flame that refuses to fade.
