The room fell into an eerie silence after my daring escape from the abandoned construction site. As I caught my breath, I directed my attention back to the System interface, eager to explore the possibilities that lay within its enigmatic features.

"Is this everything the System offers?" I inquired, my curiosity unabated.

"Yes, if you want to access more System features, you will have to level up to Master rank cultivation," the System responded matter-of-factly.

"Master rank cultivation? Can you explain all the cultivation ranks to me?" I queried, realizing I had much to learn about the intricacies of this newfound power.

"The Cultivation ranks of this world are divided into 9 stages: Mortal, Master, Martial Art Master, Grandmaster, Energy Condensation, Martial Core, God Rank 1, God Rank 2, God Rank 3," the System explained.

I was taken aback by the complexity of the cultivation hierarchy. "So many levels, but I thought only four levels existed based on my novel reading experience."

"Host should not read such pathetic novels," the System retorted, a hint of disdain in its mechanical voice.

"Damn, System, that hurt," I replied, feigning offense.

As I continued my interrogation, a sudden wail of sirens pierced the air, sending chills down my spine. Panic set in as I peered out the window to witness the approach of numerous police cars converging on the abandoned building.

"Did my yelling attract so many police cars? But no one would have heard them, right?" I wondered aloud, my confusion evident.

The System, seemingly unperturbed, suggested, "The host's body's strength has increased due to the System binding. The host can easily jump from the back of the building and escape safely."

"That better be right, System, otherwise, I would curse you to death," I muttered, a mix of annoyance and fear clouding my thoughts.

With no time to spare, I rushed to the back of the building, confronted by a window that held both escape and uncertainty. As I prepared to make the daring leap, the footsteps of approaching officers echoed through the corridor. In a split-second decision, I propelled myself out the window.

The rush of wind enveloped me as I hurtled towards the ground, adrenaline coursing through my veins. With a resounding thud, I landed on the earth below, relief flooding my senses.

I landed with a resounding thud, leaving deep imprints in the soil beneath. Adrenaline pumping, I sprinted towards the apartment complex exit, narrowly evading the watchful eyes of two officers guarding the way.

Utilizing a simple distraction technique, I threw a stone to divert their attention. It worked flawlessly, providing the perfect opportunity to slip away undetected. Hailing a cab, I raced home, relieved to have narrowly escaped a potentially disastrous encounter with the law.

Upon reaching the safety of my home, I ensured my presence went unnoticed by my father, sneaking into my room without raising any suspicions. With the door securely closed, I peeled off my clothes and stood before the mirror, scrutinizing the changes in my body.

My muscles appeared more defined, and a subtle glow emanated from my skin. As I observed these alterations, I couldn't help but feel a surge in mental power. I sighed, contemplating the implications of possessing the Supernatural Divine Godly Power System.

"Now that I officially have the System, what can I do to increase my skills and cultivation? It seems I need to explore the System," I mused.

  • Cultivation with a System in the Modern World   Strike and Synchronize

    The first blow had sent him skidding across the scorched earth. The second had thrown him into the air. By the fifth, Danial had lost count of how many times Balthazar's lightning had found him — had claimed him — despite every desperate dodge, every instinctive twist of his body away from the crackling white-hot discharge. But the sixth strike did not merely find him. It consumed him.He hit the ground hard, arms splayed, the air driven from his lungs. His clothes were burned through in jagged patches, the edges still smouldering, and the skin beneath hummed with a deep, resonant ache that reached all the way to his bones. For a long moment, he simply lay there.Then his eyes opened — and they shone.It was subtle at first, like candlelight behind frosted glass. But it grew, a faint luminescence deep within his irises, flickering with the same rhythm as the charged air still crackling around him. Danial blinked once. Then,he pushed himself to his feet.Balthazar watched without a word

  • Cultivation with a System in the Modern World   The Angel's Mission

    Danial stood stunned for a brief moment before looking toward Master Balthazar, who remained standing several meters away in a perfectly relaxed stance. One of his hands was raised casually before him, his palm facing inward, as though nothing in the world could disturb his composure. His expression remained unreadable, yet there was a faint curiosity hidden within his eyes."Show me what you received," Balthazar said calmly. "The power to control lightning."Danial swallowed hard and took a slow breath to steady himself. Raising both hands before his chest, he left only a narrow gap between his palms before circulating his internal energy. The familiar warmth flowing through his meridians gradually changed, becoming sharper and more violent as he reached for the foreign power Astrape had bestowed upon him.Tiny blue arcs immediately danced across his forearms.They crackled loudly as they crawled over his skin like living serpents before converging between his palms. Danial slowly vi

  • Cultivation with a System in the Modern World   The World That Was Lost

    The three masters were shocked beyond words. None of them had expected Danial’s fate to intertwine so quickly with a demigod, and the revelation hit them with the force of a hammer. Balthazar looked stunned to the core, Yamato rose to his feet and stared at Danial in a mixture of disbelief and jealousy, and even Abhaya’s eyes widened slightly, his usually composed expression finally cracking. Danial scratched the back of his head and gave an awkward laugh.“Yeah… that happened. And I gained the power to control lightning.”Balthazar sank back into his chair and rubbed his temples. “Well, this took a turn for the worse.”Yamato’s gaze remained fixed on Danial as he replied in a low, tight voice, “I didn’t expect the demigods to intervene this early. The prophecy is unfolding faster than expected.”Abhaya nodded once, his prayer beads resting against his palm. “Amitabha. We have to prepare the boy for the cataclysm.”Danial blinked at them, confused and increasingly uneasy. “Prophecy? C

  • Cultivation with a System in the Modern World   A Shockwave Felt by Gods of War

    The explosion did not remain confined to the Sedgegan Mountains.It rippled outward—through the skies, through ley lines, through the invisible currents that only divine beings could sense. Across Somerland, every God of War felt it at the same instant. It was not merely power; it carried intent, conflict, and something disturbingly unfamiliar.Within war temples and divine sanctums, armoured figures paused mid-motion. Blades stopped inches from targets. Conversations died as divine senses flared open instinctively, all turning toward the same distant direction. Expressions hardened. A presence had clashed—one powerful enough to shake the foundations of the world.At the Tournament of Sovereign Might, the disturbance arrived like a silent hammer.Elysia Fang stood at the center of the arena as she prepared to announce the final results. Her authority alone was enough to silence tens of thousands. But before she could speak, the air itself trembled. The ground vibrated faintly beneath

  • Cultivation with a System in the Modern World   You Forced My Hand, Mortal

    The brother’s eyes flared with a golden, eerie radiance, so bright it seemed to hollow out his expression, leaving only wrath made visible. His voice rumbled through the fractured air, cold and divine. “You forced my hand, mortal… this next strike will be your end.”He stretched out his palm. Light gathered—first a spark, then a stream, then an overwhelming torrent. In a blink, a broad sword materialised in his grip, forged from blinding white and molten gold. Golden edges shimmered like heated metal meeting sunlight, while the white blade pulsed with interwoven golden runes that looked alive, crawling beneath the surface like veins. The hilt was short—not built for leverage, but for gods whose very grip carried the strength of storms. The pommel bore a pair of etched wings, glowing faintly.His sister giggled—no, laughed—her childlike innocence shattering into something wicked and cruel. “Hahaha! Mortal, now you’ll die a gruesome death. Not even your god can save you.”Quintan didn’

  • Cultivation with a System in the Modern World   Stronger then an Insect.

    Grandmaster Quintan’s expression tightened the moment the word “Angels” left the brother’s mouth. His heavy eyebrows furrowed, shadows gathering beneath his eyes as memories he wished he could forget resurfaced. Abraham’s divination flashed in his mind—the vision conducted near this very Stargate, a vision of obliterated landscapes, cities swallowed by celestial flames, and the sky torn apart by divine wrath. The same term had been whispered then.Angels.Quintan’s jaw flexed.This shouldn’t be possible. The Stargate showed signs of awakening, yes… but dimensional traversal? Manifestation into the mortal plane? It was never supposed to happen. How—how did these two cross over? What laws were broken? What forces were involved?His mind raced, but his voice remained steady and cold.“What are your names, and why are you here?”The brother chuckled, a smug, slow curl of his lips. He tilted his head with an almost artistic arrogance, as if speaking to a creature beneath notice.“Our names

  • Cultivation with a System in the Modern World   Strike and Counterstrike

    Danial and Pavan took their seats in the viewing area, eyes glued to the arena. The crowd’s energy was infectious as they eagerly awaited the match’s outcome, and anticipation filled the air when Elysia stepped forward, drawing the next names with a calm yet intense look."The next match will be Roma

    The tournament grounds were still thick with tension. Even though the arena had been swiftly reconstructed using temporary stabilising arrays, the atmosphere had yet to recover from what had transpired. The lightning had struck with divine fury — not a natural strike, but something that seemed to

    The air was still heavy with divine pressure. The golden light that had healed Danial moments ago was gone, yet its afterglow lingered faintly in the air, dancing across the cracked arena floor like dying embers of divinity.Danial stood there — battered, shirt torn, his breathing uneven. Every inc

    The heavens tore apart once more. The sky raged and churned, its thunderous voice drowning every sound as the next bolt of lightning gathered power above. Danial, broken and barely conscious, could only look up. His eyes were hollow yet stubborn, glinting faintly in defiance.The lightning was thic
