[Dungeons & Monsters]+[Streaming]+[System]+[Cultivation]+[Multiple races]+[Multiple Dimensions]+[Overpowered MC] [AN: Till the end of August, the chapter updates will be very irregular. I apologize for that as I have my exams on 30th August. From September onwards, regular updates will follow, thank you for your patience.] [AN: Please do not buy the Red Rank Privilege yet, the chapters are yet to be amended.] Five years ago, The Merge shattered everything. Earth was pulled into a vast network of dimensions, overrun by dungeons and monsters — and governed by a System that turned survival into spectacle. Hunters could stream their runs to a cosmic audience, trading clout for resources, and those who awakened rose to power. Everyone else learned to endure. Reyansh endured. After losing his father to a dungeon, he's been holding his family together ever since — working multiple jobs at fifteen to support his sick mother and younger sister, all while chasing a dream that was slipping with every passing moment. He failed to awaken at twelve, he kept going anyway. 3 years later, he scrapes together enough to buy an Awakening Potion — And this time, it works. But something else wakes up alongside him. [Cosmic Patron System Initialized] A system no one else can see. While every hunter can stream their hunts, Reyansh's system is different — it connects him to beings across every dimension from the very start, and it promises something no ordinary system offers: 100× rewards on everything he earns, among other things he has yet to discover. The catch? He has to perform for it. Every dungeon run becomes a broadcast, every fight, a show. As his channel grows, powerful and mysterious patrons begin sending gifts, abilities, and opportunities his way. But the bigger his audience gets, the more dangerous the eyes in it become. Reyansh wanted strength enough to protect his family and himself but he may have gotten something more. Because in this universe where strength is everything — being watched might be the most dangerous power of all.

Luo Qiu became the boss of a ‘club’ by chance. It was a weird club that sold strange items, assisted by a servant girl with 300 years of work experience. Countless people with dreams, hopes and ambitions came to the club, exchanging everything precious they owned just to fulfill their desires. They would offer their lifespan, items, and even their soul. Each successful trade would increase Luo Qiu’s lifespan by a little. “Tribute successful, your lifespan has increased by 99 years.” Thus, Luo Qiu began his endless life as the club’s boss.

A smiling parasite who understood that loyalty lasted only until fear, love, or money offered something better. For sixty years, persia survived the streets of chicago by refusing to become anyone’s prey. Then one night, beneath the flickering lights of a filthy motel parking lot, her own people betrayed her.

Her new body belonged to Annabelle de’ Medici. The forgotten former head of one of europe’s oldest and most corrupt dynasties. A tiny but towering, frail and aged woman abandoned inside her own home while her nephew ruled florence in her place. The medici believe Annabelle is weak. They believe she is dying. They believe the inheritance buried with her can never rise again. They are wrong. Outside the palace walls, the world is collapsing beneath disease, fear, and political unrest. Strange rumors are spreading. Events are being buried. And somewhere among ordinary orchards and forgotten places, persia has awakened inside a family built on masks. A house of blood, wealth, betrayal, and beautiful monsters. Unfortunately for them, she has spent an entire lifetime learning how monsters survive.

They called me a genius back on Earth. A threat. The man who broke into systems no one should access. They hunted me for years until... until they took her away. I died with nothing left to lose. Then I woke up here—in a world of swords and sorcery I recognize all too well. The "Saga of the Divine Swordsman." Except I'm not the hero. I'm barely a footnote in this epic tale. That might be my only advantage. I know this world is doomed. I know the so-called chosen one, Lucifer Windward, isn't enough to stop what's coming. I've seen how this story ends. But this time, I refuse to be a background character in someone else's tragedy. This time, I'll change the script. After all, what's fate to a man who's already lost everything once? https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

Humanity has evolved. In a world where supernatural abilities known as Venma have become part of everyday life, Heroes protect civilization from those who threaten it, while Hunters venture beyond its borders to face the monstrous creatures known as Mo. Sixteen-year-old Liam Paxton wants to become a Hunter. There's just one problem. His Venma is the kind of ability people would rather never see used Quiet, awkward, and far more comfortable being ignored than admired, Liam has spent years avoiding the power that makes others uneasy. To him, strength was never supposed to be about controlling people. It was supposed to protect them. But after enrolling in Dawn Academy, one of the schools responsible for raising the next generation of Hunters and Heroes, staying unnoticed becomes increasingly impossible. Rivals. Friends. Monsters. Training. Secrets. And classmates whose seemingly simple abilities may be far more terrifying than anyone realizes. Because a Venma isn't limited by what it can do when you're born. It can Awaken. And as Liam is pushed further than ever before, he'll discover that awakening one's power may be easy compared to awakening the person buried underneath it.
