Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength - Chapter 40 Professionals

Power comes with a cost... and it was something she was willing to trade her soul for.A few nights before her wedding, Lauren sought a way to break her fourth engagement. Known for her bad reputation as the rebel princess, she was the only lady who had the guts to step foot on the Everston mansion, the house of a notorious warlord, in the middle of the night.She offered him a wicked alliance that the entire kingdom did not see coming: a marriage.A vixen pretending to be a damsel in distress and a man whose crimson eyes screaming for bloodshed. Could something blossom in this treacherous dance of lies and deception?--“Are you upset?”She eyed him sharply. “Should I be honored that I got tricked by you, milord?”He drank the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and put it on the wooden table.He stepped in front of her. His hand was on the rail on her side while his other hand grabbed her glass and finished her wine before putting it down.The way his Adam's apple moved with his every violent gulp made her feel a tickling heat around her nape.When he brought his attention back to her, he licked his lips to wipe off the trace of wine.“How shall I make it up to you then?” he asked with his deep voice, like a seductive devil asking his victim how she would like to be killed. Dangerous yet… enthralling.

In a single day, a global calamity wipes out humanity, leaving their souls adrift in an endless void.An enigmatic entity, responsible for the catastrophe, offers a twisted mercy: reincarnation into a deadly“King's Game.”Every soul from Earth must choose a character card to determine their new form and fate.Chaos erupts as billions scramble for power. Some snatch weak cards in haste, while others luck into formidable ones.Su Ping, caught in the frenzy, watches desirable roles like Goblin King, Blood Goblin King, and even Succubus King vanish.Desperate, he claims the only card left: Dark Dragon King.To his shock, this “lowly” dragon bloodline ranks among the top 1000 strongest. As Su Ping finds himself in a treacherous cosmo's where every player is a king vying for supremacy, he wonders:If a dragon is this low, what monstrous powers lie at the top?

—WSA 2025 ENTRY—The weakest loser they mocked for years wasn’t at all weak—he was a god in disguise, with the power to bring the world to its knees.“I want you to teach him humanity, so he who feels NOTHING but rage can at least learn morality”“And you trust a Demon to do that?”Seiya dreamed of becoming a hero, one of those legendary warriors everyone worships. But his Awakening failed, leaving him powerless and humiliated—a target for cruelty.Locked away and tormented by those he trusted, his suffering revealed the truth of his origin: he wasn’t just human.Unleashing powers that defy the laws of the world, such as his All-Seeing eyes—capable of negating time, absorbing skills used against him and granting him 360° vision.Seiya rises from the shadows, no longer a punching bag but a force that terrifies demons, monsters, and humans alike.Hero or villain?

[I'm sorry host]“Oh, you're sorry? Do you think that will be enough!?”[I mean it isn’t all bad! You are a noble!]“My entire family wants me dead.”[You're a student at Astraelis!]“All the commoners hate me for getting in through my status as a noble. All the nobles hate me for being useless.

One minute he was one of the best spies in the world and next minute he was in the body of a cliche villain. And to make matter worst, it's one with no advantage!“Uh whatever. I will just focus on surviving by sucking up to one of the teachers-”[Um Host... Did you forget? If you don't complete the Fate mission, everyone in this school will die.]“...”Reinhard held his face, not wanting to look at the blue screen that. Specifically, the text that tells him to seduce the Resonator and sleep with her.“Are you sure this will stop her from exploding?”[Absolutely! And it will also make you stronger.]“It better or else I'm not surviving in this crappy world.” Reinhard pushed himself up and stretched before heading towards his first target.
