Having transmigrated to a Blue Star invaded by the paranormal, Chu He is the National Guardian War God who single-handedly guards the Demon Cave.Several years later, the first Queen in the history of Great Jing ascends to the throne.She publicizes footage of Chu He brewing tea and reading books daily, criticizing him for neglecting his duties and putting him on public trial before the entire nation.In a single day, Chu He becomes a public enemy.The Queen selects twelve beautiful young women to guard the Demon Cave, replacing him.Chu He laughs, offering no explanation.His ice-queen CEO wife also chooses to divorce him, calling him a true disgrace, little knowing that everything she has today is thanks to his halo as the National Guardian War God.In truth, Chu He has long been tired; living the life of an ordinary person is also quite good.The Queen even gives a public speech: “Without him, we can still annihilate the Evil Spirits!”“The Queen is sharp-eyed and discerning; otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark by this parasite!”“The Queen is so beautiful! I am willing to lay down my life for you!”As a result, the twelve highly anticipated young women are met with an outbreak of innumerable Evil Spirits the moment they arrive at the Demon Cave.In the blink of an eye, corpses litter the ground.The allied forces of Great Jing's experts assemble, only to be slaughtered with devastating ease!“The one we fear is Chu He. You swine and dogs are worthy of suppressing us?” A horde of Evil Spirits swarm out, cackling wildly.“Is it really impossible without him?” the Queen despairs.“So the Evil Spirits of the Demon Cave are this terrifying! Chu He, we were wrong. Please come back, okay!” the populace breaks down.……“You said you could kill Evil Spirits without me, so why are you crying now?” Chu He says indifferently.

- Description from novelbuddy

My older brother, who was my only family member, lost his memory. “I have a sibling? Are you kidding me?” He was a fool who cared for me ever since he brought me from the temple… “I can’t even take care of myself, so what is this…” I left the family because I didn’t want to be a burden to my older brother, who had no memory, and was helpless in the tragedy that followed. So I turned back time. That too, to the point when my brother lost his memory. “I don’t have anything in my head, so I don’t know what to do next. What if I have a kid with me?” We must not repeat the tragedy of the past life. So I grimly said, “That’s right. I don’t have anything on my brother’s head right now.” “…What, what?” I chuckled and took out a document I had prepared. The contents of the document, written in crooked, large letters, were simple. [I transfer all the property in my name to my younger sister.] While my gaping older brother was checking the documents, I took out his seal from his drawer and smeared it with ink. Then I put it in his hand and said with a very sad expression. “So stamp it. Now.” I will protect you in this life.

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong.The world he returned to was unrecognisable.Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once.Ethan wasn’t one of them.Not at first.Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him.“Your title is… Lord Of Beasts.”But his awakening was wrong.Instead of power manifesting in the real world, Ethan was dragged into the Tower of Beasts - a brutal, game-like realm he could only enter while asleep. There, he hunts, tames, and evolves monstrous beasts that persist beyond his dreams…Registered as an E-Rank Titled with D-Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant.Yet the Lord Of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary means.As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and the Gates themselves.His past refuses to stay buried. His beasts grow more dangerous. And the truth behind his title hints at something far older and far more terrifying than anyone realises.In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom.But as Lord Of Beasts, it's only a matter of time before he reaches the top!P.S.
