Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing

I transmigrated into the world of Battle Through the Heavens, but I arrived far earlier than expected. At this time, the Xiao Clan was still one of the four great families of the Jiama Empire, with Dou Wang experts guarding it. Xiao Yan had not yet been born. According to the clan records, the only Xiao Yan was an ancestor from five hundred years ago whose grave could not even be found, while his father, Xiao Zhan, was still just a child. The future rise of the Xiao Clan did not belong to Xiao Yan, but to a mysterious young man named Xiao Li. Years later, Yao Lao asked curiously, “Xiao Yanzi, your family seems quite wealthy. Is there a pharmacist in your clan?” Xiao Yan smiled. “Of course. My second granduncle is the only pharmacist in the Xiao Clan. I just don’t know his rank.” Yao Lao nearly went mad. “Evergreen Vine, Snow Bone Ginseng, Blood Essence Fruit… Heavens, this old man is blessed!” Single Heavenly Flame: Yin–Yang Dual Flame.

In 2045, the world collapsed into The Evolving Post–Apocalypse Game, a nightmare where half of humanity became zombies and survival was dictated by system mechanics. Smile, once human, awakens buried beneath a mound of rotting corpses. The stench of decay, the weight of bodies, and the groans of the undead press down on him. He remembers the bite that should have killed him, but the Zombie Vampire System has revived him—changed him. Crawling free from the pile, he realizes the zombies don’t attack. Perhaps he is one of them now. The desolate city greets him with silence and ruin. Searching for safety, he approaches a red Mustang, only to find a massive zombie trapped inside. As more undead close in, a holographic panel appears: Danger detected. Five D‑rank zombies approaching. Probability of survival: 50/50. Smile curses the system, but instinct drives him forward. He fights, desperate, screwdriver in hand, body trembling, until hunger overwhelms him. His jaw splits with agony, his teeth lengthen into fangs, and the system demands blood. Pinned beneath the zombie, Smile makes his choice. He bites. He tears. He drinks. The foul taste becomes fuel, the pain fades, and power surges through him. His senses sharpen, his strength grows, and the hunger transforms into exhilaration. The holographic woman appears, announcing his evolution: Zombie Vampire Halfling, D‑rank awakened. Ability unlocked: Nitro Accelerate. Bloodied, trembling, yet alive, Smile realizes the truth. He is no longer human. He is something new—predator, halfling, hunter. And his hunt has only just begun.

Cole's life ended under the headlights of a spinning Mercedes, but he instead awakened in a rain-soaked Portland alley, transmigrated into a younger, more responsive body. He is the host of the Apex Predator System, a metaphysical framework centered around a Predator Essence that allows him to consume and manifest the abilities of the Wesen he kills.

While navigating a complex and intimate alliance with the Hexenbiest Adalind Schade, he must manage his Essence States to prevent "Rampant" instability from overstimulation. Somewhere between the professional masks of Portland's elite and the hidden world of the Wesen Council, Cole utilizes his Predator Sense to track targets and climb the supernatural food chain. As he balances his human conscience against the system's drive for evolution, he realizes he is becoming an anomaly that both sides of the ancient war have every reason to fear.

Nora Atwood has never been the kind of girl who kneels. Not for anyone. Not even for the Dragon King of Drakenval — a man who has ruled for seventeen years with cold eyes and colder silence, who stopped laughing at the age of nine and has not started since. When fate places an ordinary merchant's daughter before the most feared king in the realm, everyone expects her to tremble. To bow. To disappear quietly into the palace and be forgotten. Nora does none of these things. She negotiates. She argues. She picks the books she wants from his library and refuses to be impressed by his throne room. And slowly, impossibly, she becomes the only person in seventeen years who makes the Dragon King feel something he has no name for. He wrote her a two-hundred-page book and told no one. She has not decided what to do about that yet. A story about a king who forgot how to be human, and the girl who refused to let him stay that way.
