My Contracted Beast Is a Rock
Ling Mo came from an ordinary family. At the Beast Contract Awakening Ceremony, he accidentally bonded with a rock—no energy, no potential. The system rated it worthless. The whole city laughed at him. His classmates mocked him. The elders expelled him from the base. He was cast out to die in the ruins. On the brink of death, he unlocked the Inanimate Beast Master System. That useless rock was actually a divine beast in disguise. With the power of mental control, skill theft, and evolution, Ling Mo fought to survive in monster-infested Jiangcheng. He killed Black-Fang Rabbits, Iron-Spined Wolves, and Armored Lizards, stealing their strength and growing stronger. He recruited outcasts, built his own faction, and wiped out the scar-faced gang. He became the overlord of the ruins. His old enemy Chen Xuan and the powerful Chen Clan came for him. Ling Mo crushed them all—using his rock’s evolved nine elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Metal, Wood, Thunder, Light, and Darkness. He killed Chen Xuan, crippled Chen Ba, and brought down the entire Chen family. As his power grew, he uncovered a hidden truth. Three hundred years ago, humanity faced extinction. They sealed a cosmic beast called Qiongtian using shards of the Falling Ink Star and a guardian beast named Kunlun. Ling Mo and his rock were the only ones who could stop the seal from breaking. The rock evolved. It grew a heartbeat. It gained consciousness. It learned to speak. It became a king-tier beast, bound to Ling Mo by life and death. In the end, Ling Mo let go of his personal grudges. He stood with his stone companion against the awakening Qiongtian—a mortal body with the heart of a true guardian, fighting to protect the world and everyone he loved.

Freshman Year, I’m the Ultimate Demon Exorcist
Lu Zhan crossed into a modern world overrun by demons, where the Demon Exorcism Bureau keeps the peace. The original body he inherited had been bullied to death. Right as he woke up, his slaughter system activated: kill enemies to earn points, exchange them for power, skills, and talents. He used it instantly. He killed Li Zhu and Zhang Tie, who had robbed him, and accepted the main quest—pass the Bureau’s exam in three days. During the exam, he was only at the 4th Layer of Qi Condensation. He killed beasts far above his level. He one-shotted a Diamond Python whose body rivaled the Opening Orifice Realm. He ranked first by a landslide and became a trainee exorcist. His first case: a serial disappearance in Anxi Residential Compound, with skeletons left behind. He teamed up with Tao Xiao’an and Zhou Hong, ventured deep into danger, beheaded the Rat King, and found the bones of fellow exorcists—hinting at traitors inside the Bureau colluding with the Five Poisons Cult. He cut through the cult’s Black Snake warriors, the Five Camel-Bell Fiends, and the mole Chen Lin. With poison immunity and ever-growing combat skills, he crushed every ambush. Following the trail of smuggled monster materials, he found the Black Water Hall—the Abyss Society’s core hideout in Linhai City. He killed its poison steward Mo Lin and seized evidence against high-ranking corrupt officials. The deeper he dug, the darker it got. Deputy Director Zhao Yue of Linhai Bureau was the Abyss Society’s top spy. And behind it all was Lord Xuan’s thousand-year scheme: the Demon Suppression Canon contained the primal essence of the ancient Demon Emperor, and every demon suppressor was a vessel for its reincarnation. Deep under Blackstone Mountain, Lu Zhan faced the Demon Emperor’s true form. He bet everything. He twisted the binding contract rules and turned his own body into a prison—sealing the Demon Emperor’s power forever. The thousand-year conspiracy ended. The city was safe.

Jiang Chenyu, daughter of the Imperial Tutor, gave everything to her husband Xu Huanshan. She spent her dowry to save his family, served his mother, and raised his adopted son Xu Yanzhou into a promising young man. But when her hair turned gray from years of toil, her adopted son strangled her from behind. In her dying moment, the truth emerged: Xu Huanshan had never died in battle. He faked his death and defected to the rival Liang Kingdom. Xu Yanzhou was his illegitimate son with a Liang female general, Meng Lang. By heaven’s grace, Jiang Chenyu was reborn on the very day of his supposed death. At the mourning hall, she saw through his trick. Pretending to collapse with grief, she crashed into the coffin and summoned the palace eunuch to nail it shut—trapping the still-breathing Xu Huanshan inside.

The emperor came in person for the ceremony and ordered the coffin opened. It was empty. Forced out of hiding, Xu Huanshan was convicted of faking his death and exiled to Ningguta. Later, Xu Huanshan and Meng Lang begged Chenyu to help their son become the Crown Prince’s companion.

The emperor and Chenyu ambushed the treasonous deal. Caught red-handed, Xu Huanshan and Meng Lang were beheaded. Su Yongzhen died of shock on the spot. The Xu family was destroyed.

Divine Debt Decree of the Heavenly Firmament
At the start of the story, ordinary young man Lin Fan sinks into utter despair. Stricken with an incurable terminal illness and with little time left to live, he is ruthlessly betrayed by his long-term girlfriend Zhang Li. After borrowing all his life savings, she refuses to pay him back and teams up with rich heir Qin Hao to bully and humiliate him relentlessly. Relying on his powerful family background, Qin Hao beats Lin Fan to the verge of death. Stripped of all dignity and trapped with no way out, Lin Fan thinks his life will end here. But at the brink of life and death, the sealed memories of his past life awaken, transforming him into the sole Divine Debt Lord of the Three Realms. A unique divine ledger for all debts across the Three Realms materializes in his palm, accompanied by Ling’er, a quick-witted ledger spirit who constantly aids him, completely turning his doomed fate around. As the Divine Debt Lord, Lin Fan holds jurisdiction over every form of debt across heaven, earth, and the underworld: monetary debts and favors owed among humans, grievances from bullying, karmic ghost debts in the netherworld, as well as vows and official obligation debts of celestial immortals. Each debt collected accumulates divine power, prolonging his lifespan and boosting his strength with every settled account. Freed from his former meek persona, Lin Fan first settles the debts owed by Qin Hao and Zhang Li. Using divine power, he makes the two suffer the bitter consequences of their deeds and brings them public disgrace, getting his revenge on the treacherous duo and accomplishing his first reversal of fortune among mortals. Not stopping at mortal feuds, he embarks on cross-realm debt collection guided by his divine ledger. He negotiates with the underworld, subdues insubordinate ghost officers, and settles the karmic debts of vicious tyrants plaguing the mortal realm, ensuring evil deeds meet due punishment and redressing the imbalance between good and evil on earth. Those around him gradually come to realize his extraordinary identity. As his debt-collecting territory expands, Lin Fan confronts celestial forces head-on. Zhao Cheng, son of the God of Wealth, exploits his immortal lineage to amass ill-gotten wealth among humans and defaults on the karmic vow debts owed to his worshippers. He obstructs Lin Fan’s work and even threatens him with celestial authority. Upholding the rule that all beings, mortal or immortal, are equal under divine debt law, Lin Fan stands unyielding against heavenly pressure, reveals his legitimate status as Divine Debt Lord, and compels Zhao Cheng to repay all debts in public, turning down the God of Wealth’s personal plea for leniency and shattering the long-standing notion that celestial beings are untouchable.
