The Temptation of the Sea and its Monsters

I am Ajarn Ken, a spiritual master from Malaysia. Born with the rare gift of Yin-Yang eyes, I’ve seen ghosts and spirits since childhood—realities most people never perceive. Over a decade ago, I began my journey into Thai occultism, training under a reclusive Ajarn deep in the mountains of Thailand. Today, I work as a spiritual practitioner and run a series called My Supernatural Files—true cases of exorcisms, hauntings, and unexplainable events I’ve encountered. Some stories are mine. Some belong to others. All are rooted in truth. You don’t have to believe. I only ask for one thing: please, show respect.

A hero must be compassionate, selfless and courageous. But that isn't all. Because a hero must also be powerful. In this world, power is everything. Strength decides who gets to save lives and who's left with community service. That’s why I was nothing — a rank 50 E-Class reject, skating through the streets, saving what little I could while the real heroes battled gods and monsters. Then one day, I died. Almost. Dragged into the abyss, I was given a second chance: the Forever Core. An armor that evolves. A system that never stops adapting. Every battle, every hit, every mistake, I come back stronger. Now, the monsters that once crushed me can’t kill me the same way twice. I must adapt. Evolve. I must grow stronger and fight harder. Because humanity is worth fighting for. Even if I have to burn every villain alive to prove it.

"If fate wants me to suffer, it should have picked someone else!" —Raven. Raven wakes up as the protagonist of his favorite novel. He knows the brutal storyline that makes grown men weep. The original protagonist endured it all, but Raven has no plans to play along. He has a system, but that broken thing has everything locked. He has knowledge of the plot, but no clue what twists the author hid beyond what he read. He has a choice to suffer like before or rewrite everything. The tragic twists? Fuck them The heartbreaking losses? Skip them Pointless sacrifices? Save them No more misery for the sake of character growth. This time, he is writing his own legend and a story worth remembering!

The Mayan ceremonial dagger had an inscription in the ancient language that read: "Offer thy heart". It's obviously an instruction left by the past inhabitants of this forgotten place, but who would be stupid enough to stab himself in the heart with a rusty old knife found inside a tombstone? After activating my battery pack the dagger shimmers brightly in a cyan light, the creatures are coming, I can hear their steps. 'It's do or die.'

Don't read if you want to complain, it will take time to write a few more chapters and hence to write synopsis. And yes, it will be Harem so stay away. Just writing for fun.

Humanity is caught in a great upheaval after the Intergalactic Union of All Species coincidentally discovers their existence on what they had formerly considered to be the fringe of the universe. Without any say in the matter, they get indicted into the Union as a legal member. Unfortunately, this meant that they were now obligated to partake in the exploration of a new Chaotic Realm parallel to their universe containing rich energies, resources, and essence that the universe itself craved. To that end, the universe has created its own will, which seeks to gather all races and strengthen warriors from them to explore the dangerous but lucrative Chaotic Realm, initiating the Augmented Reality simulation, Essence. In Essence, one can experience a carefully crafted universe similar to an RPG game, either by going in through your soul or going in through VR. The former means that death is true, and the latter is similar to a normal FIVR experience. Those who go in with their souls can freely receive feedback from their 'game characters' to obtain all stats, skills, and items they acquire in Essence, while those who go in with VR do not obtain that benefit. However, those who pay for it in Essence can receive an awakening of genetic talent called abilities. These abilities are graded from F to EX, a total of 10 stages. Not much is expected from the human race when the first 100 participants get chosen at random from the public - a standard protocol - only for each one of them to awaken at least an A-grade ability. Then, there was Damon Arnan, a young Ghanaian politician, who ended up awakening, not one, not two, but three EX-Grade Talents. The human race, which had just entered the galactic playground, was about to experience a storm with Damon smackdab in the middle.

When I first transmigrated, I thought my most cunning enemy was Varys. I eliminated Varys. After that, I believed my deadliest foe was Illyrio. I eliminated Illyrio. Then I crushed the Dothraki, thinking the path was finally clear. But with the Dothraki gone, the Free Cities became my greatest threat. Ah— Only now do I truly understand: My most dangerous and insidious enemy is neither Robert nor the White Walkers. He stands high above me. He is the one all men worship—the gods themselves!
