<p>The most popular game worldwide is Ancient Arena Online, a high-octane PvP fantasy game where teams fight for supremacy in mythical arenas. Millions of fans watch livestreams, bet on matches, and follow their favorite players like celebrities. The game’s competitive scene is so fierce that professional teams are treated like esports royalty.</p><p>At the heart of it all is Kai Ashford, one of the top players and captain of the pro team Phoenix Edge. With lightning-fast reflexes and strategic brilliance, Kai leads his team to countless victories. But success breeds jealousy. Sabotaged by a teammate he thought was loyal, Kai is not only kicked off his team, but also humiliated in front of millions of fans. With his reputation shattered and confidence at rock bottom, Kai retreats from the public eye.</p><p>However, Kai's competitive spirit is not easily extinguished. He stumbles upon a group of amateur players—a ragtag bunch who show raw potential but lack the finesse needed to win at the highest levels. Their quirky personalities clash with his no-nonsense attitude, but something about their passion reminds him of why he started gaming in the first place. Deciding to put his past behind him, Kai agrees to train them into a professional team.</p><p>Along the way, Kai builds unexpected connections with his new teammates, including romantic entanglements with a fiery mage, an eccentric hacker, and a mysterious assassin player, all while juggling his personal feelings and growing attraction for multiple women. As his new team rises through the ranks, they gain attention from fans and sponsors, putting them back on the radar of the professional scene.</p><p>But Kai’s past doesn’t stay buried for long. His former teammates—now rivals—plot to sabotage him once again, while jealous contenders within the gaming world aim to tear him down. However, Kai's return to the spotlight will be on his terms this time. With a darker, more calculating approach, he plans to not only dominate the game but also to get sweet revenge on those who betrayed him.</p>

Chu Xuan traversed the Mystic Azure Realm and became a demonic cultivator in the Infinite Sect. To cultivate as a demonic cultivator means to plunder the essence of the heavens and earth and seize the quintessence of all things. One has to slaughter countless beings to rise as a supreme demon lord. However, such killing was intolerable under the heavenly Dao of the human race. Consequently, the Infinite Sect was annihilated by the orthodox sects. In desperation, Chu Xuan stumbled upon a Blood Mirror, which allowed him to travel to a post-apocalyptic planet overrun with zombies! He realized that this place was a perfect sanctuary exclusively for demonic cultivators!

For any of those wondering why there isn't any chapters after 76. Its because the author said in the end of chapter 76 that he is going on a hiatus/taking a break to not be burned out and will be back in a few months. Heres to hoping he comes back safe, sound, and better than ever.
I will forgive him for the sake of the amazing novel cover art.
Drop at chapter 23. MC go to MHA world and gain copy quirk power. Go around collect quirk, and talk alot of hero nonsense.
Don't know what's up with the cover when spider-gwen doesn't even exist in this book, but i'll say this. This fanfic is probably one of the best marvel fanfics i've read yet and the author has so far not dissapointed me a single time. the multiverse aspects are really well handled and i never ever feel like they drag on, even when they're multiple chapters long. Another thing that makes this book one of my favorite is that the author is also really good at gathering hype for even the smallest things, like it seriously makes me want to be a fan of the hero they built. The extra chapters that they write that i would usually skip in a fanfic are also insanely good and not overly info dumpy. Even when they get in the way of the plot and serve as filler ( i only remember there being 2 ) I still happily read them because of how good they are. Anyways this is a solid 10/10 from me so far. Don't hesitate to read this.
Tengo una duda, ¿mc está en la Tierra-616 o una creada por el autor?
It feels like the character is to round. What I mean by that is, he is rich, handsome, well built, charming, well mannered, intelligent, powerful and has for everything the right answer… Don’t get me wrong, I like an op mc who is intelligent but that doesn’t mean he has to be perfect. Little flaws keep the mc interesting but this mc has none.And I feel the Death of his parent is just used so he doesn’t have to hide himself and his powers at home, plus he can use his money however he wants without anybody questioning it. The part that bothers me the most is all the powers… I have written once a comment before, where I questioned why the mc needs to have this mix of all the different powers instead of a well fleshed out single power system, anyway is just a few chapters he gets the powers of Spoilerhunterxhunter, Star Wars, my hero academia, and five other fantasy universes.. I get, that this is the main point of this novel but at least let him work for it and not just wait a week or month for his gatcha spins to load up. That being said, I think this is a very well written fanfic and I enjoy the long chapters.Just hope there would be more balance and kick to the story.

Little flaws keep the mc interesting but this mc has noneSpoilernahh, he has a flaw, like he got into this existential crisis mode every chapter, and imo, with so many intelligent characters that he assimilated , why not?The part that bothers me the most is all the powers… I have written once a comment before, where I questioned why the mc needs to have this mix of all the different powers instead of a well fleshed out single power system, I get that, this is the main point of this novel but at least let him work for it and not just wait a week or month for his gatcha spins to load up.Spoiler Secondly, the MC has already stated that he doesn't want to completely depend on one power system. He fears that there might be an enemy out there capable of silencing or shutting down his 'power system.' When he acquired the system, his talent soared, with this, he can easily learn any power(magic, nen, elemental, etc) which is why he summoned Uvogin from HxH to learn Nen. The MC has also mentioned that his hobby is training and grinding his power to the maximum level (omega level). Currently, he has copied or stolen many abilities because he aims to combine those skills to surpass omega level.
Need novels similar to this
That have many anime in it and world travel shit
And is actually good instead of the mc placing all the women he sees as slaves to be bred
Otima novel, o autor deu uma profundidade cabulosa pro mundo onde tudo acontece e principalmente pro mc, vale a pena ter essa novel em sua lista de leitura, a paciência pra ler os capítulos mega longos é recompensadora
Mc is idiotic monolog machine. He is like Santa giving his powers left and right for nothing and a major simp especially for black cat. Lets female characters walk all over him and talks to men like he is a Chad. Do waste your time with this shit.
Anyone know the upload schedule?
2 weekly/chapter. unless the author is not busy
so tomorrow
no, no chapter this week, the author just announced on webnovel : "Someone killed my cat. No chapter today. Till sunday. I will compensate later. bye."
