Unsheathed - Chapter 501 (1): Some Principles Are Natural and Right

Rowen has no name, no family, and no magic. In a world where power defines your future, he’s already lost.The Awakening is his one chance to be chosen by the Path and escape his dead-end life running a forgotten shop. But when the crystal touches his skin, it reveals nothing... and yet, something ancient stirs within.Mana vanishes from his body. Visions haunt him. And buried deep in his soul, a relic from a past life begins to awaken.Forgotten by the world. Bound to something greater.Will he become another nobody — or the world’s greatest outlier?

Yan Hongyin saved a man.Although he was kind-hearted, he was frail and often coughed up blood.But Yan Hongyin didn’t mind.She lacked nothing – status, martial arts, or wealth.All she required of her husband was that he be good-looking, harmless, and not one of those martial artists that cause trouble on weekdays.He didn’t need to study hard for the imperial examinations or become a high-ranking official; she’d seen enough of those stuffy civil officials in the court.Ah Yu was perfect just as he was.****Sect Leader Yu was saved by a gentle and delicate pharmacist.His rescuer was a fascinating woman: beautiful, skilled in medicine, but without martial arts prowess. The renowned heroes admired by ordinary people were, in her eyes, nothing but troublemaking hypocrites and villains.Initially, he stayed only to recover from his injuries, but later he discovered that his wife seemed to have many unusual and numerous little secrets. For example, the hidden passages in their room, the poisonous carp in the pond, and the countless hidden weapons on her person…****Later.Two groups of men in black arrived outside the thatched hut in the suburbs of the capital.Commander Yan, observing the group trying to capture the Loucha Sect leader’s weakness, pondered for a moment, then put away her hidden blade.-Maintain a gentle and virtuous demeanor.Sect Leader Yu, watching the group attempting to seize the Jinyiwei commander’s weakness, fell silent for a moment, clutching his chest and coughing.-Appear frail and refined.

Villains.Characters who opposed the protagonist.There are charming villains, there are villains with a touching backstory, there are villains who are simply pure evil, there are villains you can sympathise, and there are villains who simply have that title because they aren't on the same side as the protagonist.But no matter what kind of villain you are, at the end of the day, you are just a stepping stone for a protagonist.But in this vast universe, where immortals can pluck the stars and gods can create the sun, there are villains who won't stand for their fate.They will trample over the protagonist and defy their predestined fates and declare to the heavens,“Villains aren't stepping stones!”

This is the war between humans and the Ancient God Clan, tracing back to Ancient Times, extending into the future, spanning the river of history, and composing an epic.The Ancient Gods invade reality with a shattered world.Secrets from timeless mythologies reveal the truth.Ascenders traverse the gaps of time and space, journeying between two realms.Reality and transcendence, blade and sword, blood and fire.When the apocalypse arrives, the Ancient Gods awaken from their long slumber.The curtain rises—My father once went missing while investigating the resurrection of a certain God, and his fate remains unknown to this day.I am anxious, but not entirely distressed.Because that resurrected God—Is me.
