Steel and Sorrow: Rise of the Mercenary king - Chapter 620: A life always on the moving

“Douluo: Sell Ning Rongrong mission card, she quits Shrek”

Li Haiyun traveled to the Douluo Continent and bound the system of selling mission cards to get 1 to 100 times the reward.

As long as someone buys his mission card and completes the mission, he can get one to a hundred times the mission reward!

It’s just that the content on this task card is a bit indecent?

Ning Rongrong, who was trained in the military at the beginning, was reprimanded by Shrek Friend. She ran outside to relax, and happened to meet the mission card shop that Li Haiyun was running.

Driven by curiosity, Ning Rongrong went shopping, received her mission, and upgraded the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Now it’s all right, the fugitive princess Ning Rongrong found the treasure shop, so she just didn’t go back to Shrek and continued to be humiliated.

Not only that, but she also wants to escape from Shrek with the ladies of Shrek, buy mission cards together, accept missions, and complete missions!

Zhu Zhuqing: “The black-level task is to swear to Dai Mubai’s lifelong enemy with the martial soul, rewarding the twentieth-level cultivation base, accept it!!”

Tang San: “A black-level mission hits teacher Yu Xiaogan’s ass thirty times, and rewards peerless skills!!!”

Bibi Dong: “Purity gold-level mission, give birth to a child for the shopkeeper, and reward all spirit rings with a 100,000-year lifespan!!”

…

The owner, Li Haiyun, was lying on the rocking chair and couldn’t help laughing as he watched the rewards he was constantly getting.

In the missions and rewards again and again.

Some people’s master-student relationship collapsed, and some people’s colleges were disbanded…

There are also people who find love…

Many islands dotted the vast oceans of this world. However, some of the islands were a lot more sinister than the rest. Those islands, known as Nightmare Islands, were true nightmares to all but the strongest and most fortunate. Children were kidnapped and thrown on these isolated islands by the Nightmare Palace, forced to sign soul pacts with evil soul pets: Nightmares. These devils slowly devoured the souls of their trainers to grow stronger. If the children did not cultivate fast enough, their souls will be devoured whole, leaving only an empty husk behind.

Chu Mu, the protagonist, was an heir to the Chu Clan, but due to a plotted murder, he was thrown on the island, sentencing him to almost certain death. Dancing on the edge of life and death, he struggled to survive with a small Moonlight Fox he captured. When he finally escaped the devilish foremen on his island, he couldn’t help but let a breath out. But little does he know, the experience was only a beginning to a fated journey with his little Moonlight Fox…

Kai’s life was small—coffee-stained mornings, cracked recipes, and a system in his head that tweaked toasters and dough like it was nothing. Then the sky shattered. Aliens—Skraiths, jagged and brutal—invaded, tearing his city apart with green-glowing weapons and relentless claws. Superhumans rose to fight back, fire and lightning blazing through the chaos, but Kai’s world crumbled with them.Hiding in his apartment, Kai stumbles on blood—human and alien, smeared on his wall after a superhuman battle. His system, once just a tinker’s tool, awakens, offering him a choice: mimic their powers, temporary and wild, through the blood itself. Desperate, he takes it—stealing pyrokinesis, then electrokinesis, then kinetic energy, each power burning through him, fading fast. But it’s not enough. Armed with a humming Skraith weapon and a body tougher from alien blood, Kai joins a ragtag crew of enhanced fighters—Liv, Rylan, Jace, and Tucker—scraping to survive in a warzone where every shadow hides death.As Skraiths swarm and the city burns, Kai’s system pushes him deeper, analyzing, integrating, crafting minor enhancements—durability, strength, sparks of power that could make him a target or a savior. Government factions, rogue scientists, and the aliens themselves start sniffing around, drawn to his strange tech and blood-stolen abilities. By the time Kai crafts his first super-powered enhancement—an artificial strength boost—he’s no longer just a tinkerer. He’s on the edge of something bigger, something dangerous, where blood and sparks could forge a hero—or break him entirely.In a world unraveling, Kai’s fight for survival becomes a desperate race to master his system, outrun the Skraiths, and confront the truth: the power he’s chasing might destroy him—or remake the world.

Shion, the ‘Hero of Darkness’. He was said to be the strongest hero ever. He believed one thing, and that was his current party members.

“I’ll defeat the Demon Lord with this party!”

That is what he swore to do, but a tragedy occurs. He was painfully betrayed by the girls that he trusted.

He barely held onto his life, but the incident left a deep scar in his heart.

He gave up on living, and while he was wandering around in a forest, looking for a way to die, a single monster appeared in front of him.

“Will you kill me, please?”

The monster asked Shion, who was still strong, despite losing his powers.

What Shion, who wanted to die as well, did was―
