Jkingread
Khan is alone in a world where the weak are prey. With no talent for cultivation, his dream of greatness seems impossible. Yet, Khan refuses to let that stop him. Through The Record of Khan, a tome chronicling his extraordinary past, his descendant unveils a story of relentless struggle—against the world, his own limitations, and the odds stacked against him. On this journey, Khan discovers an unconventional cultivation method, carving a path to greatness that transforms not only himself but the world around him. From an ordinary man to a legend, his actions reshape the future and inspire generations to come. Will Khan’s determination be enough to overcome a fate written in weakness and achieve greatness? What to expect: -MC is not a good person, though he may appear to be at first. -MC does not have a harem, though future subordinates, nobles, etc., may have them. -A Cultivator World, Unfiltered: There is no equality, and morality bends to power -MC is not a wuss or overly deferential. -Eventual kingdom building, though expect to wait a while. -Business building (you don't have to wait that long). -MC has actual relationships with people. -Legacy building. - Mix between Cultivator world and Medieval world -MC transitions from slightly nice to cold-hearted and jaded over time. Expect a journey of self-discovery, where Khan faces not only external challenges but also the transformation of his own values and identity.

Ascension of The Heroic Demon Lord

For 15,000 years, the world of Imperia has been locked in an endless cycle of war. Every century, the Demon Realm crowns a new Demon Lord through brutal warfare, purging the weak and glorifying the strong. When the new ruler rises, they lead their forces against The Holy Empire—only to be slain by the Hero and their allies. The cycle resets, each generation growing stronger, each war bloodier than the last. In the Demon Realm, kindness is weakness, cruelty is strength, and evil is perfection. But one being rejected that. His name was Arminius. Though he preferred Armin. Born a demon in name alone, he lacks the monstrous power of his kin. His human-like appearance, fair skin, and gentle nature make him an outcast. Worse still, he possesses no Veil Arts—the reality-bending abilities that define strength in this world. Deemed a disgrace,he was abandoned by his clan along with his two pets,a white tiger cub and a black wolf pup. He was then killed in The Great Stampede. Yet, death is not the end. Pulled into the divine realm, Arminius is met by The Goddess—the one who shaped Imperia yet is powerless to change its fate. Bound by a single thread of destiny, The Goddess cannot intervene directly. But she can choose a champion. And so, she grants Arminius a Veil Art unlike any other—[A.S.C.E.N.D]. The Blessing that is given to The Hero. And tasks him with becoming The Demon Lord as The Hero. This power that allows him to surpass his limits endlessly, growing stronger with every battle. But there is a condition: his growth is fueled by [Experience] or [EXP] that he gains from defeating his foes and getting further into his goal of saving the world. Now, Armin must return to the Demon Realm—not as a victim, but as a contender. To break the cycle, defy fate, and claim the title of Demon Lord, not to destroy, but to reshape a world that has known only war. The weak have never had a chance before. But Arminius is done playing by fate’s rules. This time, the cycle ends. And then there was Azaran. The heir to the low-level Ruber Clan that Armin was a part of. He,like every other demon except for Armin,was born with The Veil Art of [SORCERY] and an affinity for fire. From a young age he was taught to oppress the weak like any sensible strong demon would do. He was a genius and everyone weaker than him should just grovel at his feet. To him that was true. Until he met Armin,Azaran didn't understand why Armin didn't seem pathetic and just decided to suck up to the strong. Slowly they began to interact more and more. Until one day... Azaran made Armin duel him. He thought that even without his Veil Art he could beat Armin. But instead of victory he was left with a broken sword and a blind eye thay had to be recovered with a special type of sorcery which left a black mark on his face. But,for some reason he doesn't blame Armin. Maybe because deep down...he knows he is as pathetic as he thinks Armin is. When they left Armin because of The Great Stampede he had to protect the clan in the desert. A lot of things go wrong and he is left alone. Just like Armin he now wanders the world and defeats people and gains strength. These two young men will cross paths and swords. But one thing will stay true. They will bring this world to It's knees.
