In a contaminated world on the brink of collapsing under countless dungeons, a harsh place where if you were unable to summon a creature, it meant you could die at any moment. Alas, the chance of summoning was very low for anyone—except nobles.On a fateful day, an unemployed guy from earth was reincarnated as a nameless slave and had contracted an illness—mana circulation disorder—that would prevent him from living past 30.His only chance was to summon something decent. Luckily for him, a second chance appeared… A challenge from the gods… By getting through it, he finally gained what he wanted.A sword demon....one of demon kings.[Do you want to evolve your summon?][Your summon has two paths to evolve]–[Hellfire Demon]–[Wind Demon][Do you want to use 2,000 Chaos Points to unlock another evolution path?]–[Supreme Sword Demon][Description]: A slave demon… An ancient demon… An extinct demon… They possess swordsmanship unparalleled in all of hell; no demon can defeat them. However, what all demons in hell fear is their ability—even demon gods are afraid of them. Each time they kill someone with their sword, the victim's existence is obliterated from the world. No one can remember them after they're dead.However, that was just the beginning of a Godslayer’s fate when he figured out the reincarnators. And unluckily, the world should have existed only one reincarnator. He had to kill them to survive, or they would kill him.[Author’s Note]*Is the MC a slave? Yes, he is, but it’s just a leftover label from his old identity in this world. The moment Alaric, a fourth-year university student, reincarnated into that slave body, I don’t think he should even be considered a slave anymore. Moreover, he gets rid of his inferior identity once he clears the final challenge of the Nameless God in Chapter 18.*Is the MC OP? Not exactly, since his early power isn’t really a cheat. The real cheat everyone expects only shows up after Chapter 19.

Le Xia traveled to the Marvel world. He was born ordinary, but after encountering a dilapidated bronze box, his life was destined to be extraordinary.

“Put on the holy clothes and protect the love and justice on the earth!”

The moment he touched the box, these words were imprinted into his soul.

Whether it’s evil spirits in the dark, covets in the starry sky, or “gods” who regard all living beings as playthings, all evils that try to disturb the peace of this land will face the justice of the saints.

When the golden holy clothes reflected the dazzling starlight and the white cloak fluttered without wind, the legend of the Saint Seiya began to spread throughout the Marvel universe.

- Description from novelbuddy

After years of exile, Marcus is coming back home. A powerful mage with few equals, Marcus lives in a world full of monsters and powerful adepts, many of which have bad histories with him. But he has not come back to pursue vengeance or start a fight. All Marcus wants to do is reconnect with old friends, build himself a house, and maybe train a successor or two.Alas, the world didn’t stop just because Marcus went into exile, and not everyone is content to let go of old grievances. Strange things are happening in the world at large, too, hinting at a looming disaster of unknown nature. Still, where there is a will, there is a way.If nothing else, Marcus has a lot of magical power to throw at problems.+++Zenith of Sorcery is set in its own original setting and isn’t related to Mother of Learning… beyond being written by the same person, of course. This is a more classical fantasy story than my previous one, with a lower level of technology and stuff like elves and dwarves, but it has a lot of worldbuilding effort put into it and its own complex magical system. The story has significant xianxia influences, but isn’t meant to be a xianxia story.For those of you not familiar with my previous work, I write relatively slowly. I intend to publish chapters at the rate of one chapter every three or four weeks, subject to further delays as life intervenes.
