The King of Urban Mercenaries - Chapter 1234 - 1237: A Promise Kept

Noah Brown had a gift for fighting. Unfortunately punching things didn't pay the bills, at least until he died and an Eldritch god found his soul. The encounter led him to a new world, summoned by bloody cultists, with nothing but the shirt on his back, and a strange item in his system menu.

[???] : A source of infinite potential.

Perhaps he'd finally get to put his gifts to good use.

Unite the Clans? Create an Empire?Atrox Soryu thought he was destined for greatness… until he wasn’t.Born into the smaller Soryu Clan, Atrox was a prodigy, praised for his unparalleled swordsmanship and relentless ambition. He vowed to become Emperor of the Eternal Skies, a title that hadn't been claimed in centuries. But on the day he was to manifest his Order Mark—the source of every knight’s power—everything went wrong.Instead of the revered Holy, Elemental, or Mystic Orders, Atrox was branded with a Forbidden Order: Something twisted and wrong. A death sentence in the eyes of the world. Branded a monster and exiled by his own father, Atrox was cast into a brutal labor camp where the weak are crushed, and the strong are barely tolerated.But exile isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. In the harshest of conditions, Atrox awakens the full potential of his forbidden powers, powers that could rival even the strongest Knights. He will forge alliances with the forgotten, turn his enemies into allies, and rise from the shadows to build an empire from nothing.Betrayed, exiled, and broken? No. Atrox Soryu is building an empire—and the Eternal Skies will bow to him.

They called me Evelina Hartgrave—the jealous heiress, the scheming villainess, the girl everyone loves to destroy.But I’m not her.I’m Reina Tanaka, a tired college dropout who used to play this stupid dating sim every night just to forget my own life. I killed Evelina hundreds of times—poisoned, exposed, humiliated—all for the heroine’s happy ending.Now I’ve woken up as her.In her penthouse. Wearing her diamond necklace. With a dozen death flags already blinking above my head. One wrong option… and I might die—by my brother’s hand, the male lead’s blade, or even by a bug bite.This whole world is against me.How am I supposed to survive in this game when even the system wants me dead? If I refuse its commands, the system punishes me—and the punishment can be fatal.So tell me… How does a villainess live long enough to change the ending?when both the world and the code are written to destroy her?

In my former life, I dedicated most of my adult life to achieving my goal of exploring the stars. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside my control, my life abruptly ended leaving my dream unfulfilled. Thanks to the intervention of the Big Guy Upstairs, I was given a chance to achieve my dream though the one who reincarnated me screwed me over. Unlike the futuristic type of world I wanted to start in, I ended up being born in a medieval, magical world as the third son of a regional baron. All I can do now is Dungeon Crawl for ancient technology in the hopes that I find a ship or technology to get me off this damn world!
