Karnak, Monarch of Death - Chapter 3: Something is Strange (2)

Do you believe in Transmigration?Shengyuan a powerful entity that had reached the pinnacle of cultivation — shredded his mortality in pursuit of the Heavenly Dao path is struck down by his heavenly tribulation bringing an end to his desires, ambitions and his Conquest for usurping the universal law, defying karma itself and BECOMING one with Fate.His fall?Comes with a heavy price on all.Five hundred years pass and the world had deviated from spiritual leylines, meridians and technology took full effect — the cultivation method used? Technological implants and cores that bring forth Qi from data, systems and artificial leylines but with this new change in the ways of cultivation comes a great risk to all and mysterious creatures are brought into the world.A young, cultivationless inventor Yuanchen is betrayed by his family as he is accused of a crime he did not commit — cast from the heavenly cities, Yuanchen crosses the path between the living and the dead and there he meets Shengyuan's indomitable spirit.The following is the journey of two opposing souls with different ideals — one seeking the truth of where he comes from and why he is scorned. The other coming to terms with mortality again and trying to reach for fate itself again with his two hands.

“I lost everything again...?”Kain had to work hard to feed himself, in a small village on the edge of the forbidden lands. Unlike the others, he hated Keepers, the only people capable of fighting the creatures from the Astral Dimension. Everyone saw them as heroes, but Kain blamed them for the greatest tragedy of his life - the death of his parents.Ironically, the sacrifice of one Keeper allowed Kain to obtain a Rune Brand - the key to begin a trial, the outcome was either power or death.Facing another world, Kain discovered that his blood was cursed, and misfortune would always haunt him.But death would avoid Kain, wanting to keep such a valuable sacrifice for a god. Only failure would await him, but if it was possible death would pass by.Now, Kain must break his curse and take fate into his own hands for the first time in his life or remain a nameless offering.

He was a Martial Arts prodigy, a master of using poisons!He descended the mountain to search for his junior sister but unexpectedly became the School Beauty's bodyguard… From then on, a demon-like student was born! He pursued the School Beauty, took down bullies, and was revered as the supreme ruler of the city! He cultivated Ancient Martial Arts, annihilated formidable enemies, and swept across all directions to ascend to the Peak.

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called “last hope.”He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough.Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision:[Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.]Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual.Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s “legendary” starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life.Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first.After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.
