MTL - Darkness is Coming - Chapter 730 Rune Mark (middle) (thanks to Omnivorous Ice

The Earth's Evolution begins with the first phase Monster Invasion, and everyone receiving a system.The system allows them to choose classes like RPG games: Warrior, Mage, Paladin, Healer, and many more.____Li Wei and Li Xin were both shut-in gamers and stepsiblings. They were bored with normal life and yearned to live as if they were in RPG games.When suddenly the world started to change suddenly like they wanted.Li Wei selected special class, “Jack-of-all-Trades,” because he desired to master everything.There was no problem and everything was going well, when suddenly he was forced to accept the quest to kill gods, along with the upgrade of his system.Little did he know that he was chosen mistakenly because of his bad luck.However, every time he kills a monster, he gains 10× more XP and rewards than a normal person, making him stronger.___It was when the second phase of Earth Evolution starts, making everyone stunned because it begins with 'World Rebuilding.'The Earth begins to absorb nearby worlds, changing the whole map, adding dungeons and spawning monsters.The Earth was changing, similar to fantasy world's described in games and novels.____Li Wei and Li Xin were in trouble as people discovered their extraordinary strength; because of this they escape from the city of earth and head towards unknown forest where they stumbled upon a city from another world.The city was just like a fantasy where Adventures Guild existed with all kinds of quests.

The main character is suddenly summoned to another world…..and the one who shows up next is a malicious and scheming noble…..obey or die. I’ll try to rise in this world and live on by any means! It’s the story of such a hero.

“Look, I don’t need to be the strongest — I just need to be slightly stronger than the guy trying to kill me.”---Zayn Eldrake was nothing more than a nameless extra in the grand tale of summoned heroes — a disposable swordsman in the legendary Hero of Light’s party, fated to die in an early battle against the monsters of the Apocalypse.But when he awakens in this doomed body with memories of his past life, he refuses to meet the same pathetic end.He knows the story. He knows the heroes. He knows their strengths, their weaknesses… and most importantly, their women.With the power of [Devourer’s Pact], Zayn can consume the abilities of those he defeats, transforming himself into something far greater than a mere extra.Strength, magic, divine blessings — everything in this world is his for the taking. And if fate itself stands in his way? He’ll devour that too.

Lu Shang picked up a dirty teenager while discussing work at a bar. It was merely happenstance, but memories from ten years ago resurfaced when he saw the gunshot scars on the teenager’s back.

Lu Shang asked him, “What is your name?”

“Xiao Li… My surname is Li, so they all called me Xiao Li.”

“You don’t have a name?”

“I don’t remember.”

Lu Shang said, “Then I will call you Li Sui. From now on, you will be with me.”

From that day onward, a young “lover” was always by Lu Shang’s side.

Years later, Dr. Leung teased Lu Shang, “You didn’t get his heart, instead your heart caved in; boss Lu, that doesn’t seem like a bargain.”
