【I, Shen Miaomiao, was forced to take over a game company at the beginning. 】

Fortunately, the rebate system was awakened in time, as long as the company loses money, the system will compensate with ten times the rebate!

Therefore, the goal of this young girl president is to bring down the company! Wealth Freedom!

【I, Gu Sheng, traveled through the opening game and became a game designer. 】

Fortunately, the game treasury system has awakened, as long as it continues to produce popular games, it will be able to ascend to the throne of the king of games!

Therefore, the goal of this game director is to become bigger and stronger! Create another glories!

…

When the rotten president meets the sixth designer, the company’s style of painting gradually abstracts——

“No one plays the mech game you agreed to? What the hell are you doing about Titanfall?”

“Is the horror game market poor? What’s your “Escape” situation?”

“Is it easy to pay for the second-generation shooting that was agreed? Are you going to remake “Call of Duty”?”

Looking at the financial report that was profitable across the board, Shen Miaomiao’s mind was buzzing.

She couldn’t lose a penny, so she could only give up her heart!

“From now on! Torture the players for me!”

She didn’t believe it, she still couldn’t lose the money!

Hearing this, Gu Sheng unfolded a stack of plans in his hands:

“Look at the boss – black, blood, benevolence, wolf… which one shall we do first?”

- Description from novelbuddy

In the year Jin Stratus was born, Humanity had long since conquered the stars, with their sights now set on a cosmos filled with unimaginable horrors.Yet in a universe that is but one bubble in an endless sea of realities, on a worthless blue planet beneath a crumbling city, a slum rat named Jin Stratus awakens to his destiny.When the “Door to the Myriad Worlds” descends, Jin steps through, armed with nothing but his unyielding will and his innate comprehension-defying talent—“Against-Heaven’s Understanding.”In the Great Universe of the Starry Sea, where ancient beings can erase galaxies with a sigh and traverse endless light-years in a single stride, Jin is nothing but dust. But with each battle, each world, and each bloody step, he transcends the world that seeks to oppress him, forging himself into a being unrivaled across all realms.[Your Understanding is Against-Heaven.]-You have comprehended the “Bone Marrow Blood Tempering Divine Technique.”-You have evolved “Fist of Falling Thunder” into the “Thunder World Creation Technique.”-You have witnessed the collapse and rebirth of worlds, grasping the “Cosmic Palm Domain.”-You have obtained the “Limitless Incarnation Method.”From the gutter alleys of the Lower Slums to the endless cosmos, Jin Stratus will ensure the world remembers his name—For throughout heaven and earth, he alone… can comprehend it all.And he alone will become the strongest.

When Kael died, he thought it was the end.Instead, he woke up in the body of Kaelion Drenlor—the disgraced heir to a powerful duchy in a kingdom on the verge of collapse.In this cruel and mystical world ruled by bloodlines, magic, and ancient deities, Kael isn't interested in playing the hero.Not when being a villain gets things done faster.Cunning, cold, and dangerously ambitious, Kael begins his rise from the shadows.He doesn't shy away from blood or betrayal—and he certainly doesn’t mind bending hearts to his will.As power gathers around him, so do those drawn by obsession, loyalty… and desire.But even as his influence grows, he keeps his true face hidden. Behind the mask of a second identity, he handles the dirty work the noble Kaelion could never touch.In the darkest corners of the realm, he plants the seeds of something greater: a secret organization—The Order of the Black Sigil.Built to manipulate, infiltrate, and control, it becomes a force whispered about in fear.But as Kael pulls strings from behind the scenes, the world begins to see him as more than just a shadowy lord. They begin to worship him.And gods, even fake ones, are dangerous.In a world of schemes, monsters, and ancient mysteries, Kael never asked to be a savior. But one step at a time, through love, lies, and war—he carves his throne from the bones of empires.In the end, only one will sit upon the world.###Before you dive in, here are some things you should know to better enjoy the story:1. The MC is not an all-knowing monster from Chapter 1Our main character is a teenager who transmigrated into a dangerous world. He’s not some ancient cultivator with 500 years of experience. At the start, he’s a bit unhinged (he kills someone in Chapter 1), but still grounded—more of an antihero than a villain.But this is a journey of corruption. As he faces the horrors of this world and gains power, his mindset begins to change—slowly, and then completely. By the time you're deep into the story, he’ll become the kind of villain others whisper about in fear.So no, he’s not your overpowered righteous MC. He’s dangerous, ambitious, and eventually terrifying.2. Yes, there’s romance—but NO, this is not a fast food haremLet’s be real:Day 1: Meet Girl ADay 2: Sleep with Girl ADay 3: Onto Girl BThat’s not happening here.This novel values slow burn, proper development, and emotional payoff. The MC does have multiple love interests, but every relationship is earned. Each girl has depth, motivations, and unique interactions with Kael. No one’s here just for fanservice. And yes—they each get proper screen time.If you’re here for emotional stakes, chemistry, and realistic progression: this one’s for you.3. The worldbuilding is deep and rich.High fantasy. Secret cults. Ancient orders. Political schemes. Forgotten islands. Brutal wars. It’s a lore-heavy universe built to explore.4. The power system is risky and unique.Getting stronger can literally drive you mad. But don’t worry—our MC finds ways to survive (and thrive).Also, each continent has its own power rules—some based on bloodlines, others on potions, rituals, spells or forbidden arts. So expect variety.5. Lots of action and crazy fights.From intense duels to massive battles, this story brings the chaos.6. Side characters matter.No “zombie” side characters here.They have their own stories, motives, and growth. They're not just props for the MC. Some might even surprise you.7. Yes, there are other transmigrators and regressors.But they appear later in the story—and when they do, things get wild.
