Decaying World

by karlmaks — Mystery, despair, pain, and decay — the world is losing its way, and I no longer know where I should go. Arriving in a world on the brink of ruin, filled with danger and devoid of hope, I can only rely on the mysterious blood mark on my body, continuously deducing and evolving various skills, in an attempt to carve out a path of survival amidst despair.

Chapter 1: Awakening

by karlmaks — Dark night, the surroundings were like ink. A tiny orange flame, the size of a bean, quietly burned in the darkness. It seemed to be the world's only light. The flame flickered and swayed, so fragile that a single breath could extinguish it. In the weak light it cast, a young man with a pale face and bloodshot eyes sat quietly on one side. The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with ordinary, unremarkable features. He was lightly biting his lower lip; the color of his lips was very…

Chapter 12: Low Point II

by karlmaks — “A Jiang, I know you and the Fourth Brother are close, but the situation is different now. We absolutely cannot be perceived as having colluded with the Fourth Brother's actions, or the trouble will be enormous!” Lin Chaoyi earnestly admonished him. “It's a good thing Father gave the Fourth Brother's quota to Hongyu back then, otherwise the quota would definitely be null and void now. That honest boy from the Fourth Brother's family, with his poor aptitude, wouldn't have amounted to anything even…

Chapter 6: Joining II

by karlmaks — Clear Wind Taoist Temple interior. On the training ground behind the main hall. Rows of teenagers dressed in gray short martial attire stood in neat formation, holding short branches, waiting for the Taoist priest in front to impart martial arts. “I am Mingxiu, and I am the Taoist priest specifically responsible for teaching you the fundamental sword style.” The Taoist priest had a handsome, jade-like face and a burly physique, giving him the strange, contrasting appearance of a scholar's head…

Chapter 22: Patrol IV

by karlmaks — This was not idle time-wasting. Instead, in the instant his finger was about to snap, Lin Hui immediately activated the Light Body special effect, and then, immediately after the snap, he instantly deactivated it. This was his practice and testing. Since Light Body consumed a significant amount of physical energy, why not cut it up into many instantaneous small skills? It was enough to use it only in the instant it was needed, making it effective at the critical moment. This was Lin Hui's idea. He…

Chapter 54: Exploration II

by karlmaks — "Grandpa, looking at background alone, our family has Summoners too. What's so amazing about that?" The young man in blue frowned unconvinced. "Summoners are different from Summoners. Low, medium, high—the gap between each level is immense. Even among High-tier Summoners, Yu Ying is in the tier of extremely strong power. Plus, her father is an Elder of the Shayue Sect, her mother comes from a major clan in the Inner City, and she herself is cruel by nature. Among the Three Sects and Six Gangs, she has…

Chapter 33: Change of Heart I

by karlmaks — A few days later, in the Mist Zone. In the murky gray mist, a tall, sturdy man with a ponytail, dressed in a dirty white martial arts uniform, walked into the small hut's courtyard. He looked exhausted as he dragged an object that resembled a black tree branch. Thud. He tossed the object onto the ground and sniffed the air; the faint aroma of eggs fried in lard drifted through the air. With a squeak, the wooden door slowly opened. Daoist Mingde walked out unhurriedly holding a bowl, eating a…

Chapter 44: Combat II

by karlmaks — Stab, retract. Stab, retract. The rapid feints made Wan'er fume with rage, but she was utterly helpless. She had no more trump cards, but her opponent clearly didn't believe it and was still cautiously probing. Strike after strike, she missed, and the anger in her heart accumulated more and more. "Stop running if you have the guts!!" She finally couldn't help but roar in anger. Puff! In an instant, blood exploded. Wan'er's figure paused, freezing in place, completely…

Chapter 23: Disappearance I

by karlmaks — The resting tea stall. The autumn wind was mournful, and the air was dry and chilly. In the roughly constructed tea stall, made of gray cloth and thick wooden stakes, Lin Hui casually found a stool and sat down, asking the waiter for a pot of hot tea. He waited for a while but didn't see Chen Chong appear. Clearly, that fellow might genuinely have been scared off. After all, the wound on his waist was only bleeding heavily and just needed bandaging. But the injury to his pride was a different…

Chapter 55: Exploration III

by karlmaks — Watching his master's figure ahead, Lin Hui narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then followed. As he stepped into the white light, his eyes were briefly dazzled, but they quickly adapted. What entered his vision was an endless plain dominated by brown and white. He seemed to be standing on a shovel-shaped gray cliff. Looking forward from here, the colors of the plain below the cliff were formed by vast swathes of brown and white pavilions and buildings, densely packed together. The…
