Gunmage - Chapter 181: Cracks in the mask

He was once a name whispered in terror.A Demon King no army could challenge. No god could judge. No fate could bind.But he didn’t fall in battle.He walked away.Immortality became dull. Victory became predictable. The world stopped pushing back. And for someone who was born to conquer limits… boredom was the only true enemy left.So Anos chose death.Reborn as a human in a fragile, uncertain world, he expects weakness, struggle—maybe even humility.Instead, something else awakens.A system woven from hearts, fate, and supremacy.A power that doesn’t just measure strength… it measures influence, dominance, connection, desire.The universe is watching.And somewhere in the silence between worlds, a former god of destruction begins carving a new path—one not toward simple conquest… but toward something higher.Beyond heroes.Beyond destiny.Beyond the very laws that once defined him.This isn’t a story about redemption.It’s about evolution.From Demon King…To something the cosmos itself may not be ready for.

“What does it feel like to be a shadow?”People say it's bondage — the absence of light, of freedom. But what is freedom, really?The ability to choose whatever you want?Or... just a beautiful illusion masking the void?Strange question, I know.But you'll understand soon enough.Because my lives?They've always been a little... enlightening.— Kaiser

I actually transmigrated while on an IV drip.Born with a weak constitution and a total weakling, even looked down upon when gathering.Physically weak and infertile, males all avoid me on sight.Life in the Beast World is miserable, using stones to wipe my little butt.Fortunately, the System came to be my cheat, and life is no longer miserable.Take some medicine and become awesome, meeting the big shot of the tribe.But my own System's temper, uh…Wu Yue's eyes sparkled: “System, give me a serving of braised pork belly over rice.”System: “Don't have it.”“How about some braised eggplant then?”“Don't have it.”“Steamed buns?”“Don't have it.”Wu Yue took a deep breath: “Then what do you have?”System, aloofly: “I have nothing.”Wu Yue gave a side-eye: “Then what's the use of having you?”System exploded: “I already told you, I'm a life system! A life system! You don't even move a muscle, just sitting here asking for food. In your dreams!!!”The System erupted, Wu Yue cowered...A happy and dorky daily life in the Beast World. Our slogan is: eat our fill, dress warmly, and strive for a comfortable life; happily build a house, and cheerfully stay busy with farming.This author's Beast World stories are all 1V1, so friends, don't hesitate to click and come in!
