I Leash Emperors: The Dead Shout. I Smile

“Richard Sterling said he wanted to acquire my company. I told him every intern in my office has razed a civilization.” This is the 88th floor of the Infinite Tower—the final tribunal of humanity. I leash beasts called “The Greats.” Caesar is the viper coiled in my legal department. Napoleon is the war-hammer crushing my supply chains. Wu Zetian kneels to plead for her HR legacy, and Cleopatra wears a bio-shell I designed just to lick intelligence from the shadows. I stripped them of everything that made them “human.” No taste. No pain. No dopamine. Their heartbeats are merely lines of code I simulate. In this vault, empire is a scrap of paper, ambition is an algorithm, and the legacy of ages is calculated in pure ROI (Return on Investment). The rules are simple, and they are depraved: The Winner: Earns 24 hours of “Sensory Sync.” They get to taste, to bleed, to feel the warmth of the sun—shivering on the marble floor like dogs for a single day of “life.” The Loser: Earns a “Hell Start.” I will shatter your soul and reincarnate you as a eunuch, a sacrificial lamb, or a maggot in the next cycle. Every full moon, the Tavern opens. The millions slaughtered by these twelve tyrants gather as my fuel. The Jury screams behind the glass, casting blood-stained ballots to decide who walks the earth and who rots in the deep. Arsinoe is forging evidence. Cao Cao is hiding a blade in his sleeve. They think this is a game of corporate intrigue. They think they can stab my heart with their petty schemes. The fools have no idea: I only have 17 months left. Progress: 0.011%. If the needle doesn’t hit 1.000% in 17 months, I will drag these twelve monarchs and this rotting planet into the void with me. I am stitching the wounds of civilization with the flesh of tyrants. The dead are shouting. The emperors are clawing. And I smile. I have to. [Author's Note] “No redemption. Only performance. If you want a hero, look elsewhere. Here, Caesar is a tool, Cleopatra is a ghost, and the greatest emperors in history are just 0.00x% on my dashboard. Welcome to the 88th floor. The clock is ticking. The Jury is watching. Are you?”

A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

As the executor of the Heavenly Dao, Li Suisui descended to the mortal world for a trial. Born under a celestial omen, her birthday was co-opted by her cousin, which left two girls in the Li Family with the same birthday but disparate fortunes. Everyone said Li Suisui was a harbinger of misfortune, a reincarnated curse spirit, who was fated to bring disaster to her family. They wanted to get rid of her as quickly as possible. On the other hand, Li Yanyan was a lucky star, a blessed bag, everyone wanted to latch onto her coattails, trying to rub off as much luck as they could from her. Later on, when hardship befell the Li Family, the elderly matriarch planned to bury Li Suisui alive to change their luck. But Suisui's powerful uncles came from all corners of the world to rescue her. A grandmaster illusionist, an incomparable physician, the world's top God Hunter...it seemed the Li Family had really kicked at an iron plate! Overnight, Li Suisui became the most adored and cherished member of the family. Sneering outsiders said, "Treating a harbinger of disaster as treasure, when she eventually causes all of your deaths, that's when you'll regret it!" Yet as time passed, not only did no harm befall her uncles' families, but they all began to thrive enormously. Her lame uncle regained his mobility, his barren aunt bore twins, the once discordant couple reconciled, the other uncle became the Number One Scholar... It was even rumored that a long-deceased grandfather had come back to life...

The Sovereign Rebirth : Rise Of The Urban God

The Peak of Divinity is a lonely place, but falling from it is lethal. ​Arga was the Eternal War Sovereign, the undisputed ruler of the Nine Heavens, until the Seven Heavenly Kings, his own sworn brothers, betrayed him. As his divine body shattered, Arga used a forbidden soul-reincarnation technique to escape through the void. ​He wakes up in the body of a man also named Arga, a "worthless" son in law in the modern city of Jakarta. For three years, this Arga was the punching bag of the wealthy Wijaya family, cleaning floors, washing dishes, and enduring the silent contempt of his beautiful wife, Siska. ​But the tiger has finally opened its eyes. ​On the night he is forced to sign his divorce papers and crawl away like a dog, the Sovereign’s soul finally merges with his mortal vessel. With a flick of his finger, elite bodyguards fall. With a single breath, the city’s hidden martial arts masters tremble. ​Arga no longer seeks the love of a woman who looked down on him. He seeks the spirit herbs hidden in urban skyscrapers, the ancient energy buried beneath city parks, and the path back to the heavens to reclaim his throne. ​From a discarded husband to the Urban God, Arga will show this world that even in a land of technology and skyscrapers, a Sovereign’s word is Law. ​"You offered me five hundred million to leave? In my previous life, gods offered me entire galaxies just for a moment of my time."
