Losing his fathers to monsters at just seventeen, Axel had given up on life. But everything changes when he stumbles into a portal leading to Khaos Realm, and there he reawakens the powers of the Thirteenth Inferno Hero.Now wielding the flames of an Inferno Hero, Axel is chosen to prevent an impending catastrophe. Khaos Realm is teeming with monsters and villains, and if they break free, Earth will be next. With a mysterious guide, newfound allies, and enemies far stronger than him,Axel must rise as a superhero to save both worlds.His journey takes him to Superpolis—a sprawling city where everyone has powers. There, he makes friends with other superheroes, but not all friendships are built to last. Some will help him rise, others will try to break him.But Axel’s greatest battles won’t just be against lone enemies. He will face entire monster hordes, villainous empires, and warlords seeking to conquer both Khaos Realm and Earth.What's worse, a villain seeking world domination who has already destroyed countless realms and worlds — leaving nothing but ashes behind. And now, he’s set his sights on Khaos Realm... and Earth is next in line.To stop him, Axel will need all the help he can get.But this enemy is patient, calculated, and always a step ahead. Worse yet, Axel’s powers comes with a weakness—one he doesn't know exists… but the villain does.[A/N: This novel includes intense battles, strategic fights, and moments of gore(not extreme or too detailed), which is why I’ve used the R18 tag. Axel will be powerful as a superhero, but not overpowered—every victory will be earned. Expect detailed fight scenes and epic showdowns that will keep you on the edge of your seat or the road (considering what you're doing at the time of reading ^⁠_⁠^)The first villain Axel faces in Chapter 3? Let’s just say I have big plans for him. He’s not just an obstacle—he’s a key piece of the story.I’ll be releasing three chapters daily, and I promise, I won’t drop.]No Harem!

"So, that's how my life ends, what a waste of time it was...".
These were the last thoughts of a young man, shot by accident in a fight between local gangs. Little did he know that he would soon wake up in another world, a world of cultivation!
This is the story of the whoreson of a wealthy family, of a transmigrator that had no purpose in his previous life, of a demon that will make power his reason to keep on living.
Noah Balvan, after he transmigrated, will have to fight against his social status and the many difficulties of the world he was reborn in to obtain the power to stand free in the sky above anyone!

Living in a world of cultivators is like walking on the edge of a knife. If you slip, the best result is a deep cut, but the likely result is death. Su Fang is brought into this world completely unprepared, knowing nothing, and lacking any skills to help him. This means only one thing. He is destined to die.Fortunately, Su Fang is immortal. Not because he cannot die, but because when he does, he un-dies.In this world, everyone is born with a Golden Finger to help them survive. Su Fang’s blessing is to return to the beginning of his journey after every death. His System provides him credits upon death with which he can purchase absolutely anything, but he is only rewarded enough credits to help him return to the point he died. To advance further, he must rely on himself.This is both a time loop story and a xianxia story. At different points, one element is more pronounced than the other, but it is always a combination of both.This can also be considered a slice-of-life story. It isn’t about saving the world or defeating a big bad guy. It is about living life in an unfamiliar world where it can sometimes seem like everyone is out to kill or enslave you.Expectations:-Detailed cultivation and crafting.-Limited fighting scenes through most of the story.-Slow cultivation progression. Each level will be explored in detail.-Somewhat unreliable narrator. Cultivation affects the mind, and it will affect the MC’s perceptions of the world. Facts can generally be trusted, but many times there are layers beyond what the narrator sees.-Xianxia tropes with a world built around them so they make sense. Why do young masters go crazy shouting “You dare!”? Why do their guards willing throw themselves to their death against someone with significantly higher cultivation? All that and more is explained.-This is a story of cultivation. It has cultivation in the xianxia sense, working to gain strength and power, but, more importantly, it is a story about cultivating the self. Finding ways to make yourself a better version of you.New chapters drop 5 days a week, M-F, at 7:00AM Central Time (US)
