The heavens decree that only 100 empires shall remain, each transcending to the Saint Grade or higher. For 100,000 years, the cosmos will burn with ambition, betrayal, and bloodshed. Those who falter shall be erased, their legacies forgotten.” Ten years after this cosmic decree, on the 6-star tier planet of Celestara, a child is born in the declining Black Dragon Kingdom, located on the smallest and weakest of the planet's six continents, Nanshan. This boy, Tian Yu, is the third prince of a crumbling kingdom, born with seemingly weak talent in a world where cultivation determines worth. Yet, unknown to all, Tian Yu carries the soul and memories of Alexander Steele, a visionary from Earth who built an unstoppable corporate empire through cunning, strategy, and ambition.
The world underwent a mutation, and the game manifested in reality, unleashing monsters from other dimensions to ravage the world.

Some opted to become mages from the very start, while others transformed into professional thunder fighters during their second job transition. However, Ling Zhan followed a different path. From the beginning of the game, he chose to be a non-professional casual player, allocating all his attribute points to the blue attribute. "People think he's crazy, mastering all low-level skills before changing jobs. How will he fare in the later stages?" "What's the use of the blue attribute? It doesn't increase combat power. It's quite amusing, isn't it?"

"18, 24, 15, 34… How come all the genius disciples are all below the minimum?" Fu Yang commented as he looked through all the results from his Aptitude Seeking Mirror. A year ago he discovered a Mystic Realm and became the inheritor. Together with his discovery, he found a cultivation book that could help him reach the Emperor Realm. Unlike other cultivation books that needed swords, vast energy, intelligence, etc. His Cultivation book needed him to find disciples. However, the minimum threshold was 70 of Aptitude Value from the Aptitude Seeking Mirror. Although the Cultivation Book gave him a chance to soar, he remained stuck at the First Nascent Realm since the time he discovered the Mystic Realm. "Now, it seems like I can't resume cultivating without getting myself a disciple first." _____ Hello, guys! I am the author of this novel, Shateralyn!

I've never wanted this life for myself—this life filled with perils and evil. It's like a dream I can never escape from—a dream which I'm forever stuck in. Heh, no one ever wanted this life or ever wished for it. You'd be either insane or extremely evil to wish for this kind of life—the life where you don't have a choice over anything—the life where you're bound by your deepest desires. I never wanted to enter into the supernatural world. I never wanted to come across the Crimsones[1], Lycanthropes[2], demons and the rest. I never wanted to be involved in anything pertaining to the dark and supernatural world. I had always yearned for freedom and not servitude. But of course I was wrong all along. I had been delusional, thinking I'd be able to escape it all—to escape from fate. I never knew I would be pulled into this mess, becoming one of those dark creatures which roam about in the ungodly night. I never wanted to be a merciless predator who was also a prey to another predator (what a food chain!). But all is good. No matter what I shall not alli myself to degenerate into a heartless monster who only knew how to tear flesh, spill blood and break bones. I cannot allow my desires to pull me down. I cannot be corrupted by the abyss! My name is Daniel Stark and what I'm about to tell you is a real life horror. I don't know what you call horror or romance or fantasy but this story I'm about to tell you, you need to listen attentively and not miss a bit of information. This is my story—one beginning with pain.
For centuries, the noble House Concordia, humanity’s torchbearers, guided the world through its darkest days. Their sacrifices drove back the malevolent force known only as the darkness, banishing it from the material world in the cataclysmic Battle of Scarlet Rivers. But victory came at an immense cost: the death of their revered leader, the Sword Saint, and the fracturing of humanity’s unity. In the centuries that followed, greed and hubris consumed the fractured factions of mankind, leaving the Concordia family shunned and their warnings ignored. Now, in the year 677, the darkness stirs once more, its hunger for chaos and despair reignited by humanity's corruption. As cracks tear through reality, unleashing hordes of demons upon the great city of Emberfall, the darkness manifests in a terrible, humanoid form—arrogant, cruel, and unstoppable. The nobles of the Kaizen Empire, consumed by their own self-interest, panic in the face of their reckoning, while the common people fall victim to unthinkable horrors. At the center of this unfolding apocalypse stands Eryndor of Concordia, the young head of his house. Dismissed as naïve for clinging to ancient prophecies, he has spent years pleading with humanity to unite against the darkness. Now, with the return of his family’s ancient enemy, Eryndor must rise to his legacy and rally what remains of humanity before it’s too late. But to fulfill his family’s oath, Eryndor must face impossible odds, forge alliances with those who once betrayed his house, and confront the truth of what it means to sacrifice for the light. As the forces of darkness spread across the land, "The Light Will Never Fade" is a story of shattered hope, enduring legacies, and the power of selflessness in the face of despair. Will Eryndor and those who stand with him rekindle humanity’s flame, or will the darkness extinguish the light forever?

In the heart of the empire, House Velcraven stood as a legend of power, feared for their dark blood magic and ruthless might. Their name was synonymous with strength, their red eyes a mark of nobility, and their rituals a gateway to unearthly force. At the center of their bloodline was Katherine, the youngest heir, born under a prophecy that declared her the future of her house. Her birth was marked by tragedy: her mother perished in childbirth, a sign of strength according to Velcraven tradition, for to kill in birth was to claim dominion. Yet this triumph was short-lived. When Katherine completed her Rite of Passage—drinking the blood of her ancestors—she gained the power of twenty men, but at a price: her very life would now depend on the blood she drained from others. No longer could she live in peace; she must feed or succumb to death. But the day of her ascension brought more than just power. She began seeing visions—cryptic whispers from the past, a woman shrouded in shadows, who seemed to be her long-dead ancestor. The woman shows her a vision of destruction, and of a war that would tear her house apart. Before Katherine could warn her family, the great houses of the empire, in league with the emperor himself, set their treacherous scheme in motion. Stormhold, the Velcraven ancestral castle, was engulfed in flames. Her father, seeing her gift as a sign of ancient power, managed to send Katherine away in secret, safeguarding the last hope of the Velcraven bloodline. But her family stayed behind to face the slaughter, their names lost to the ravages of war. Alone in a foreign land, Katherine must learn to survive, to feed, and to rebuild her house to its former glory. The blood of her ancestors courses through her veins, guiding her path as she seeks vengeance against the cowardly houses that betrayed her—and the emperor who plotted her house’s downfall. With visions haunting her every step and the weight of her lineage upon her shoulders, Katherine will carve her way through a world that knows nothing of House Velcraven and everything of its wrath.
