Ascent of Levelborn

LegendHe
Summary: A month ago, the world changed forever. Thousands of people — between the ages of 18 to 25 — vanished, only to return days later, bearing powers, levels, and mysterious abilities from another world. They became known as the First Generation of Rankers — revered like celebrities, feared like monsters. Among them was Raven Cross, a quiet, calculating thief with a shattered past and a family barely holding on. He never asked for power, but fate gave him something far more dangerous — an ability that lets him see glimpses of the future. As he returns to college, Raven finds himself at the heart of a world that’s rapidly shifting. Strength now decides status. Abilities redefine reality. And society is splitting — between the empowered and the powerless. But that’s just the beginning. Beyond the veil of the normal world lies the Tower, an endless structure with countless floors, where true power is forged and unimaginable secrets are buried. Raven, Seraphine, Grim, Aurelia — and others like them — will be forced to climb its depths, uncover their origins, and face enemies beyond anything they’ve ever imagined. This is not just a story about powers. It’s about family, betrayal, destiny — and the cost of becoming strong in a world that no longer plays by the old rules. --- Note: Chapters 1 to 50 are focused on the family arc, diving deep into the emotional background and personal dynamics of the characters to help readers understand their mindset and situation. From Chapter 51 onward, the Academy Arc begins, shifting the focus to the main character's journey, growth, and the evolving bond with the sole female lead. This story contains no harem, one love, and a mature tone. Strictly 18+ | Not suitable for readers under 17. I’m a new writer, and I’ve done my best—but I know I still have a lot to improve.

My Cold-Hearted Boss Wants to Marry Me

Lin Ruijiao dies with nothing but regret—and wakes up on the night she signed her soul away to Huarui Entertainment. In her past life, she was just a replacement, a white moonlight substitute for the company's ice-cold film empress Ye Ruihuan. Now she's back at square one: broke, desperate, and staring at the same contract that once destroyed her dreams. But this time, she knows the game. Armed with knowledge of the future, Lin Ruijiao rockets to stardom, becoming the hottest rising actress in the industry. Yet something's different—Ye Ruihuan, the untouchable award-winning actress known for her aloof perfection, is acting... strange. On set, Ye Ruihuan personally "coaches" her through intimate night rehearsals. During a reality dating show, she manipulates the producers to eliminate the male guest and takes Lin Ruijiao on romantic island dates herself. In a wilderness survival program, she ensures they're partnered together, sealing their "partnership" with a cold kiss that leaves Lin Ruijiao's lips tingling... Meanwhile, Ye Ruihuan—the crowned film empress who's never shown interest in anyone—finds herself dreaming of Lin Ruijiao every night, waking up with a racing heart and flushed cheeks. She knows Lin Ruijiao resembles her—the woman from her past—but she also knows Lin Ruijiao isn't really her. Ye Ruihuan can see through Lin Ruijiao's perfect act, the way she plays innocent and compliant. But that's exactly what draws her in: watching this clever little rabbit navigate the predator-filled entertainment world with such beautiful, calculated vulnerability. It isn't until one dream becomes too real, too passionate, that Ye Ruihuan realizes the terrifying truth—she's actually fallen for Lin Ruijiao herself. The internet thinks they're enemies. Huarui Entertainment's two biggest stars, locked in a power struggle as the rising newcomer threatens to dethrone the reigning queen. Their fandoms wage constant war, convinced their idols despise each other. Then Lin Ruijiao goes live, and Ye Ruihuan appears on camera, casually pressing a kiss to her lips: "Wife, give me a kiss." The internet explodes. --- After Ye Ruihuan finally confesses her feelings directly: Lin Ruijiao: "Sorry, but I'm frigid. I can't do romance." Later, watching Lin Ruijiao cling to her passionately in the throes of desire: Ye Ruihuan: "What happened to being frigid?!" Romance is optional, but marriage is mandatory.
