Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 523: An Unexpected Encounter

Are you afraid of death?For Jie Fu Lian, who had already come to terms with his death, the thought of being alive was scarier.Although his death was quite tragic, he still lived a fulfilling life. He had done everything that he had wanted to do and he had achieved everything that he had strived for.Even as he died, he only had a single regret.He regretted the fact that he couldn't thank Hua Tianshu, an enemy who had stood up for him till the end.His death was quite painful but he wasn't unhappy with it.However, it should have ended right there.Why the hell was he now possessing the body of a tyrannical demon king?!The heavens above were certainly playing with him and laughing at his misfortune!As if possessing the body of his enemy wasn't enough, out of all the people that he could run into, why did he have to run into Hua Tianshu?!Just when Jie Fu Lian thought his luck couldn't get any worse, Hua Tianshu just had to go and recognize him as well!“Is this what an ill-fated relationship means?” Jie Fu Lian's lips twitched.It was as if even death couldn't break the red strings that had tied the two of them together.“Why are you so nice to me?”“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the reason,” Hua Tianshu sighed.“You are falsely accusing me. I trust everything you tell me.”“I like you.”“I like you too, brother,” Jie Fu Lian beamed, however, this response only disappointed Hua Tianshu whose words had been misunderstood once again.“We are clearly not on the same page,” Hua Tianshu sighed as he turned around and left.Jie Fu Lian frowned as he tilted his head cluelessly.The new demon king is a thick-headed idiot who can’t even take a hint!

What if you could hack the strongest heroes and turn them into your devoted companions?Once feared as the Heavenly Demon, Zain stood above all—unstoppable, unrivaled, unchallenged.But his reign came to an end when so-called righteous cultivators banded together to eliminate him, believing they had purged the world of its greatest evil.Yet death was not the end.Reborn in a world dominated by heroes and champions of justice, Zain awakens a mysterious Hero Hack System—a power that doesn’t just defeat heroes but rewrites them.With a single command, he can shatter their convictions, twist their destinies, and rebuild them into something new.A ruthless warrior queen? Now a loyal blade at his side.An untouchable holy maiden? Now eager to obey.The strongest hero who once stood against him? Now kneeling before him, waiting for his command.With every hero he hacks, his harem of once-unshakable warriors grows. But as he reshapes this world to his will, one question remains—who gave him this system, and what price will he have to pay?They ended his reign once. This time, he’ll reign over them all.

Tangtang's greatest dream is to live a simple life with the people he loves the most, but even at an early age, he soon learned that life was never meant to be easy.His parents abandoned him to marry their new love.His boyfriend, whom he loved for five years, cheated and left him for his half-brother.Friends whom he genuinely treated like family mock and gossip behind his back.And the one person who had ever genuinely loved him, his grandmother, passed away because he was unable to provide her with the necessary medication.At the end, all the people he loved had left and abandoned him.What is he working for? Why does he need to study hard? Why does he need to suffer?Everything turned dull and became a regular routine for him to continue living.Until he learned to play around, the only excitement in his mundane life was having sex with different strangers that he met at a bar once a week.Unacceptable? Disgusting?Yes!But he started to get addicted to the warmth and sweetness that he could feel once in a while from people he didn't even know the names of.Is this the life he dreamed of?No.He knew that this was not the life he was supposed to have.He tried to oppose this so-called fate, but the more he did, the worse his life got.As the days and years passed, he started to accept this cycle.Until one day, he woke up in a new world.Is this a second chance bestowed upon him to achieve his dream?________________________.English is not my first language.Kindly comment if there is a wrong grammar or spelling.Thank you.Update Schedule: Tuesday & Friday
