The villainous daughter of the Duke, needs a hero - Chapter 9: The night of the Ball

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly.But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods?Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight.Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living?I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

Kai’s life was small—coffee-stained mornings, cracked recipes, and a system in his head that tweaked toasters and dough like it was nothing. Then the sky shattered. Aliens—Skraiths, jagged and brutal—invaded, tearing his city apart with green-glowing weapons and relentless claws. Superhumans rose to fight back, fire and lightning blazing through the chaos, but Kai’s world crumbled with them.Hiding in his apartment, Kai stumbles on blood—human and alien, smeared on his wall after a superhuman battle. His system, once just a tinker’s tool, awakens, offering him a choice: mimic their powers, temporary and wild, through the blood itself. Desperate, he takes it—stealing pyrokinesis, then electrokinesis, then kinetic energy, each power burning through him, fading fast. But it’s not enough. Armed with a humming Skraith weapon and a body tougher from alien blood, Kai joins a ragtag crew of enhanced fighters—Liv, Rylan, Jace, and Tucker—scraping to survive in a warzone where every shadow hides death.As Skraiths swarm and the city burns, Kai’s system pushes him deeper, analyzing, integrating, crafting minor enhancements—durability, strength, sparks of power that could make him a target or a savior. Government factions, rogue scientists, and the aliens themselves start sniffing around, drawn to his strange tech and blood-stolen abilities. By the time Kai crafts his first super-powered enhancement—an artificial strength boost—he’s no longer just a tinkerer. He’s on the edge of something bigger, something dangerous, where blood and sparks could forge a hero—or break him entirely.In a world unraveling, Kai’s fight for survival becomes a desperate race to master his system, outrun the Skraiths, and confront the truth: the power he’s chasing might destroy him—or remake the world.

【Shuangjie VS Sweet Pet】

Tang Qi, who was the queen of supernatural powers in her previous life, was reborn once and became a scumbag girl who lived in a poor urban village, had no parents and no mother, and lived with her elderly grandmother.

In her new life, Tang Qi only wanted to do a good job in her studies, make money to support her family, and let her grandmother live a warm and happy life.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he was stared at by the most mysterious and noble Mo family boss in the imperial capital. From then on, he never left her, and he couldn’t get rid of her no matter what.

The famous family in the imperial capital joked about the bad taste of the Mo family’s boss, and let Shuyuan, a famous family in the imperial capital, not want it, and found her, a country bumpkin who has no money, no power, and no background.

Tang Hillbilly Qi calmly throws out his various identities, the second young lady of the Qin family, a powerful and famous family, the founder behind the 100 billion consortium, and the high-level executive of the national special ability department…

Every identity shocked the ladies and ladies with weak legs, and they all knelt down: “I’m sorry, you are a real boss, we are all scumbags.”

The big boss of the Mo family directly held his entire net worth in front of her, “Please take care of me. From now on, you will be responsible for making money and supporting your family, and I will be responsible for your beauty.”
