“At thirty, a rare age in the past, and when the King of Hell doesn’t summon you, you go of your own accord.”After his divorce, Lu Liang suddenly felt as though the dirt was already up to his neck, especially when he could hear the sound of a running memorial lantern.Until he discovered that it was a message from the future, and that’s when his life took a dramatic turn.…Living in this world, we are all mere mortals.Being a mortal isn’t so bad—greedy, lustful, cunning, selfish…

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide.In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...?A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories...A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness...It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one.All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one.Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal.He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion.Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think.Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world.Is he fit to be a hero?Could he redefine it?***Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0.This is my spin-off novel of “Shadow Slave” by Guiltythree.But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character.This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity.There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun.I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too.

Transmigrating into the world of Douluo Dalu, I unexpectedly awakened the same Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, as Yu Xiaogang, and was discovered and taken as a disciple by Liu Erlong.Originally, I thought I would have to live cautiously under Liu Erlong's protection for the rest of my life. But who knew that a system would suddenly appear, binding me to female protagonists and allowing me to grow stronger by earning “conquest points,” evolving my Martial Soul!Now that the system has arrived, Xiao Yu feels there's no need to live cautiously under Liu Erlong's protection anymore. Instead, he can openly rely on conquering a group of female protagonists to dominate Douluo Dalu!Wherever there are female protagonists, there will surely be Xiao Yu's presence!And wherever Xiao Yu's presence is, his Martial Soul, fully evolved into the Radiant Holy Dragon, will surely shine upon the world!Liu Erlong: “Xiaogang, let's keep some distance from now on. I'm afraid Xiao Yu might misunderstand!”Xiao Wu: “Brother, I've fallen for Xiao Yu. Please forget about me!”Ning Rongrong: “Xiao Yu, from now on, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will be your exclusive money bag!”Zhu Zhuqing: “Xiao Yu, as long as you have the ability, I don't mind you taking all three of us sisters!”Qian Renxue: “For you, giving up the Angel God's position is nothing!”Hu Liena: “Xiao Yu, once I become the Pope, I'll immediately step down for you. I'll focus on being your wife!”

Cliche. Another monster progression story. That was probably what you thought when you read the title of my story. And, I can't lie, for the most part, it probably is.But, what else am I supposed to do when I've been thrusted into a world that could kill me in an instant? There's nothing to do but to progress, to devour and evolve. You would do the same too.Such is the basis of a monster.Such is the right of any living being.So that's what I did. I ate, I killed and I hoarded anything I could get my big limbs on. Friendship, allies and love? There used to be a little god calling himself “Heaven's Equal” who spouted of such things, before I ate him. The world went pretty quiet after that.Follow my story. Read for yourself how I evolved from a little monster in a lake I thought was the ocean, all the way into the Titan Of Destruction.What To Expect:- A relatively quick progression story- Ruthless, I mean - Fang Yuag levels - of ruthless protagonist.- A system? that grows stronger along with the protagonist- Big Monsters Duking It Out, with minimal humans/beastmen/elves, etc. . .focus. Basically, monsterverse without annoying ass humans ruining the show.- Did I mention that the protagonist was pretty evil?
