My Runes Can Be Upgraded - Chapter 24: 0 Second Core Rune

Rick Rolland didn’t expect to die young while gooning to some peak milf video, and he definitely didn’t expect to wake up in a world of dragons, elves, ancient empires, and magic older than civilization itself.But even worse than death was the cheat ability he received. Right after reincarnating, a small glowing figure floated out of his chest.A tiny chibi old-butler spirit with monocle, mustache, and a permanent irritated look.“Ahem. Welcome to Zorathia, gooner user.”[MATURE AFFINITY SYSTEM ONLINE]“You can only gain EXP by increasing affection with women aged 30 or above. Try not to die… while gooning again because you can have womans now...”Rick froze. Other isekai heroes would kill goblins, slay dragons, or train with legendary swords.But him? He levels up by seducing older women.“Slay goblins? Too simple.Lift a sword? Too mainstream.You, gooner user, must charm experienced ladies until they blush.It builds character and yours is nonexistent.”And just like that, Rick’s life in Zorathia spiraled into chaos.--------------------------------------------------Disclaimer: No NTR and Yuri.

Jiang Shi traveled through time, entering the chaotic end of a dynasty where wars were breaking out everywhere, demons rampaged, and ordinary people lived in constant danger.However, fortunately for him, he awakened a Talent, which increased his Power by 100 jin (1 jin = 0.5 kg) every day.Thus, he lived cautiously and bided his time, and even without understanding the methods of Cultivation, his own Power increased dramatically every day.“Jiang Shi, something happened! Two days ago, the crops you planted were vandalized!”“Take me to see!”

Immortal arts, magic weapons, magical powers*, and the boundless spiritual Qi between heaven and earth vanished into obscurity overnight, and all the exorcists became mere mortals.

300 years later, the Five Barbarians traversed the pass, a prelude to an era of great turmoil in China. They heralded the end of the world, where thousands of drought fiends stalked the night and the collapse of the Divine Land** was imminent.

Fortunately, within this long, dark night*** where silence had fallen on all magic, a lone star still glistened brightly on the horizon.

The Heart Lamp appeared, illuminating the vast expanse around it. A 16-year-old young man, who will end his life on his 20th birthday, embarked on a journey of reclaiming the spiritual Qi of the heavens and earth that had been sealed away — only four years remain.

The road ahead was filled with countless thistles and thorns, and it seemed improbable for him to succeed.

Chen Xing, “The important thing is that I’m the last exorcist in this world, yet the only magic I am capable of is emitting light. What can I do?”

Wait patiently then. When the Dinghai pearl reappears on earth, the uncertain trajectory of everyone’s fates will be completely disrupted before converging once more.

Chen Xing, “Could I be partnered with a more normal Protector martial god?”

Isn’t your Protector really skilled in fighting?

Chen Xing, “He is good at fighting, but when he loses it he’ll hit even me……”

There’s nothing that can be done about that, you can only blame yourself for losing yourself to lust.

*: Buddhist term: Abhijñā, a mysterious force that surpasses the limits of mortals gained through meditation

Qing Qin dressed as the cannon fodder character with the same name in the book, is an unlucky man who was imprisoned for a major accident after inheriting the richest man’s family business.

Now, he is about to start the first round of investment competition.

The winner of the competition will inherit the richest man’s 100 billion family business and embark on the road of cannon fodder, while the loser gets 10 million, which was enough for him to enjoy himself.

Qing Qin: “Okay, 1 million loses 1 million, and 10 million loses 10 million. If I don’t lose the game, I will be a dog!”

Seven years later.

Qing Qin is worth 100 billion yuan and is listed on the Forbes Rich List.

The former richest man burst into tears: “I now understand why you refused to compete to be heir in the first place. Even without the protection of your parents, you can create a business empire alone!”

The protagonist confessed to the media: “With all the properties under Lou’s family as a gift. I hope you can agree to my pursuit.”

Qing Qin looked up at the sky and sighed. He could only write sadly in his autobiography: “Really, I didn’t think about making money at first…”

This book became a bestseller. Netizens are happy to play along–

“Actually, I don’t plan to make money.”

“It’s not that I make money, but that money put itself into my arms.”

“Damn money, go away!”
