You can call everything cliche, when all the stories you read are copy and paste of one another. MC gets humiliated. MC turns dark and edgy. MC wants revenge. And as for the reason she's helping him, I can't see how that is cliche. Maybe if you talked to more people in real life and understood how the human mind works, you'd know that humiliation does not make everyone dark.
Why the woman helped him is literally explained. If you didn't read it, that's your own problem. And if you have read any books that didn't follow the same storyline of mc turning edgy because of humiliation, then you would know that 7 years of humiliation won't just turn everybody 'dark'. It depends on the MC's personality, surroundings, and other factors.
How I see it? Your tastes are what's cliche here. And if you ask me - my MC's brain functions a lot better than yours, if you can't even read properly before leaving a senseless review. :)
Like I said multiple times already, I rewrote a lot of earlier chapters after receiving feedback from numerous readers. Alura is not removed, she will just be introduced later on.
All of that is coming. Alura's introduction early on felt forced and sudden, like she was just there as a waifu to keep readers reading. I want her to feel more like a genuine character, so I'm saving her until later on.

Xuan, alias Zero, had been on the verge of being the first player ever to reach Godhood in humanity’s hottest VRMMORPG, Xianxia Online. Even after several years of hard work and training, he failed to comprehend the enlightenment needed to ascend to Godhome. But when disaster strikes Earth and everybody is forced to migrate their consciousnesses into the fantasy world of the VRMMORPG, his progress in the game is wiped clean and he is forced to restart from a blank slate, all over again.
Perhaps, however, this was not a bad thing. Perhaps, this was fate giving him another chance. What he failed to comprehend about Godhood may be re-discovered in this new life. Making use of his past knowledge and experience, climbing back to the top was going to be a breeze. Who cares if he didn’t have his legendary artifacts? He’d find new ones and re-obtain his old ones alike. Who cares if he no longer had his powerful cultivation techniques? He’d acquire even better ones in this life.
And so, on that day, Xuan swore to himself.
Since the Heavens have granted me this opportunity, then I will make the best out of it.
Godhood? I will reach it. Power? I will stand at its pinnacle.
Witness as Xuan climbs back to the apex of cultivation with the help of the Chaos Scripture!

The Porter of Porters.
That had been Zane Silverdale's title ever since the Day of Ruination occurred. Ever since the holographic screens known as Systems appeared, ever since mana filled the earth. While others absorbed the magical energy in the air and obtained supernatural abilities, however, Zane remained unable to.
They called him a Late Awakener. Others called him weak.
But when a Dungeon Hunt goes wrong and Zane is forced to drink the blood of his own friend to survive, a wistful twist of fate leads to the rebirth of a man.
[Become the Void you desire.]
[Command your army.]
[Devour them all.]
From weak to strong. From human to vampire. From porter to the Shadow Sovereign.
[Vampire Devouring System - Initializing...]

From the moment Xuan Kai was born, he was fated to suffer. Devoid of any magical powers in a world where arcane power rules all, no one could protect him after his parents were assassinated. Betrayed by his friends, cheated on by his fiancee, and humiliated by his own family, no one would've blamed him if he ended his own life. However, he remembered his mother's final words as she passed him a stone pendant - "Live on." And as he held the rough rock in his hand, unbeknownst to himself, a never seen before magic element began waking in his body...
"If fate wants to make me suffer, I will defy fate itself. If destiny wants me to die, I'll kill destiny first. If the heavens want to crush me, I will stand up against even the heavens!"

The first arcs of this story have some illogical parts/interactions to it, which I apologize for. This is my first novel, so I wasn't that good at the time. However, if you keep reading beyond (chapter 80-100+) I guarantee you will not regret it.

*****
When the Game calls, will you answer?
Money, fame, power, love. Anything can be obtained by the victor. However, to get to the summit, one must be ready to risk their lives, surviving through powerful zombies and mutated nature alike. They must be prepared to kill without a second thought, use any tools they had at their disposal. They must be ready to sacrifice all humanity and abandon all morals.
But Jace Silverdale, codename "Cyanide", didn't need to do that. Why? Because he had already done so, long before the game even began.
He, was a professional assassin.
And when said assassin is suddenly offered a chance to obtain what he always wanted through a survival game where killing is the only path to take, Jace felt right at home—though his wishes may differ from everyone else's.
"Money? Fame? Power? No, no, no. I came here for one reason and one reason only—to break the game."
Merciless and resourceful, watch as the former number one underground assassin dives into the apocalyptic world of Endzone and survives to become champion!

Excerpt:
On the receiving end of the throw, Ragnar caught the knife like a champ, and immediately stabbed down on the flower’s tentacle. The massive plant screeched in pain, letting go of him, and Ragnar began falling from the air.
“Woah-!”
He was well on his way to falling into the monster’s mouth with no hope of making it out, but luckily, Cyanide was present. Immediately dashing into the air with his insane agility and speed, the assassin…
… landed a painful kick in Ragnar’s stomach, and sent him flying into a wall.
“Oof!” Ragnar grunted as he hit the ground, clutching his abdomen in pain. “Ugh… goddammit, Cyanide! Was that really the only option you had?!”
“Yes,” Cyanide replied calmly as he evaded the flailing flower’s various tentacles with ease, and did a backflip. “What else did you want me to do? Princess carry you out of danger?”
“Tch… whatever,” Ragnar snorted, looking around. “But that aside… where’s my goddamn sword?”
Cyanide landed beside him, dusted his clothes off, and pointed at the still-wildly-thrasing flower.
“He ate it.”
“…”
“…”
“Oh, NOW I’m PISSED,” Ragnar muttered through grit teeth, cracking his knuckles and glaring at the massive flower. “GIVE ME MY FUCKING SWORD BACK, YOU BOTANICAL BASTARD!”
Saying that, he charged at the enormous Venus Flytrap-esque plant, fists bare and head fuming. Cyanide gave a sigh in exhaustion, closed his eyes briefly, then followed after him to take the flower down once and for all.

You've read about zombie apocalypses and machine apocalypses... but what about both, blended into one?
I ensure you, this is not the usual apocalypse survival story you are used to. This will be a fresh experience, something new to dig into.
With that said, enjoy the book and please vote with your power stones! ^_^
P.S. This is purely a work of fiction. Please don't bring real geographical facts into this novel, as I am well aware some things may not make sense. This is a web novel, not a geography textbook.
(P.P.S. Yes, the beginning is like Squid Game. If you read past 5 chapters though, you'll see it's anything but similar.)

Thousands of years ago, the First Expungement came. The world changed, and humanity was nearly wiped out. Thankfully, with the paracausal power of Angelicas, humans was able to push back the Ghost tide and rebuild their civilization.
Now, however, it was time for the Second.
Finn Thresher was just a normal university student at first. He, like the rest of the public world, had no idea what was coming for them — but sometimes, just because you don't know, doesn't mean you can't be harmed.
His family... his sight... his purpose. All lost to the paranormal.
It was time to abandon his beliefs. To throw away his morals.
After all... if these creatures weren't human anyway, there was no point in showing them humanity.
In the first battle of this war, the Ghosts won, nearly driving the human race to extinction. In the second, the humans fought back with the power of Angelicas and managed to secure a victory.
Now, the third and final round was approaching — and this time, it's personal.

[ ON HIATUS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ]
Due to school, I've paused this series. In the meantime, you can read my newest novel, The Legendary Ghost Hunter. You won't regret it, I promise. If you don't believe me, just go read the first few chapters.
*****
[When realities overlap, will you be able to distinguish lies from truth?]
This is the tale of a multiverse governed by supercomputers, a brand new world waiting to be challenged, and a boy simply wishing to escape from reality.
But what happens when worlds collide, and the Creator of All seeks to build a perfect world, cleansed of all sin? Emotions, humanity, consciousness - forever lost in the dark corners of time.
In order to fight against a perfect being, you must first become one.
My name is A.R.X.A, and I am watching you. Do not fail to entertain me, human.
The game has just begun.
[Welcome to Ascension: Online. Welcome, to a new reality.]

*Note that this is a fanfic, so the events of this novel will not be following the original plotline of the game. Instead, we will be offering a dark twist...quite literally.*
*****
Before time began, before the universe was created, before everything else, there were two primordial forces. Constantly at odds with one another, yet utterly inseparable, wherever they go. Their names were Light, and Darkness.
After an unknown duration of time, our universe was created. The Light, seeking something new, arrived at our solar system. We called this Light the Traveller. With it, we, the human race, became prosperous. Powerful. And...arrogant. We took everything at face value, for granted. What we didn't realize...was that the Traveller was not as grand and almighty as it seems.
With the seemingly invincible powers Light has granted us, we humans began to become overconfident. The phenomenon known as hubris began to take over our minds. And eventually, we would pay the price.
The Darkness chases the Light wherever it goes.
And now, it's here. With us.
*****
Written by the author of The Mage of Primordial Chaos, Cyclxne, along with the author of The Crimson Calamity, Retric. We are both in love with the game Destiny and its lore, so we decided to turn it into a novel.
Enjoy!
P.S. You don't need to know anything about Destiny to enjoy this novel. So, even if you haven't played the game before, still give this book a try!

Chapters are fairly short, usually below 1k words.
Reason being, I'm not taking this series very seriously, I just wrote this one for fun when I had nothing else to do. The MC is based upon myself, FYI.

Weebs like myself will have the best experience reading this novel, since they will be able to understand a lot of the references I inserted. But fear not if you are not a member of the Weeb Army! You'll still be able to enjoy this webnovel's comedy components regardless.

Release rate: 1 chapter/week at the very least.
