MTL - Slag Shou Cultivating Manual - Chapter 67 Unexpected battle (replaced)

[Read up to chapter 5, you won't regret it.]Haru Mizuki died the lamest death possible: alone in his room, playing a hentai VRMMO. No heroic sacrifice. No tragic accident. Just... pathetic.But instead of oblivion, he wakes up in Aethelgard.Cursed by Chronia, Goddess of Time, Haru gains an ability no one else has: he can't stay dead. Every time he dies, he loops back to his last checkpoint. What seems like a curse becomes his greatest weapon, infinite retries mean infinite opportunities to learn, train, and seduce.And seduce he must. Because Haru's cheat ability, Touch of the Goddess, lets him steal powers from anyone he touches... but it works best through intimate contact.Armed with death loops, a hacker-class system that lets him sabotage rival players, Haru begins building the ultimate multi-species harem. But he's not the only player in this game, and they all want the same thing: absolute domination.

In the year 3000, the Earth shattered and it was torn open by a rift between realms that unleashed ancient beasts, magical chaos, and apocalyptic storms. Civilization crumbled, giving rise to a brutal new law: Tame or be Torn Apart. Beast Tamers, bonded to mutated and other creatures now rule what remains of the world through strength, savagery, and guild-driven power.Kelvin, a scavenger scraping by in the ruins, lives in the shadow of these warlords until he unearths Xerion, the End-Tyrant, a legendary primordial beast sealed beneath the earth. Bound by a forgotten bloodline and a cursed contract, Kelvin inherits the Sigil of the Overlord, thrusting him into a war-torn world where survival is no longer enough.He was hunted by guilds, worshipped by outcasts, and pursued by enemies both human and monstrous, Kelvin must rise from nothing to either unite or destroy what’s left of civilization. As forbidden powers awaken and ancient truths unravel, one man and his beast stand poised to reshape the fate of a world teetering on the edge of annihilation.

Kim Min-jae thought he was just borrowing his sister’s new gothic romance novel. Instead, he wakes up as Kaizar Amagi, the man who ruins everything for the novel’s beloved heroine.In the original story, Kaizar is a ruthless schemer who marries Duke Meical Vukasin, the heroine’s destined partner, purely to destroy her. He dies hated and alone.But Min-jae isn’t planning to die for anyone’s plot. If he’s stuck as the homewrecker, he’s going to be the best damn homewrecker this world has ever seen.He plays his part flawlessly: charming Meical, dismantling the heroine’s plans, and smiling sweetly as she loses everything she holds dear.What he doesn’t expect is for Meical to fall for him for real or for the story to reveal a hidden BL route that was never in the book his sister read.Now, in a world of revenge, lies, and dangerous passion, Kaizar isn’t just ruining the heroine’s fairytale ending… he’s rewriting the entire story as his own.

The most vulnerable time in a tennis game is when you are leading; even if there is a match point, the game is still possible.

Football is round, tennis is also round.
