Leif Vin is mortally wounded and left for dead at the conclusion of a devastating battle.The squad he commanded have either fallen or abandoned the fight and all around are the cries and wails of the dying.With both armies all but wiped out vultures and parasites stalk the aftermath, one such creature finds Leif as the last of his lifeblood stains the muddy ground.Implanted with the essence of a carnivorous and corrupting tree, Leif loses his levels, memory and humanity.Reborn as a sapling in the newly formed wilderness that sprung up among the fallen, Leif must piece back together the fragmented shards of his soul and identity.But before that he must do what all trees must.Put down roots, stay still and grow. ===Hey, author here! Here's a few things about Hyperion Evergrowing to make seeing if this is something you might be interested in easier:This story follows a young man reborn as a carnivorous tree and missing all but one of his marbles. The plot focuses on his progression from feeble sapling to world striding legend. Utilising a litrpg system to quantify stats and skills Leif must engage with the system to evolve his monster class in a never seen before direction.There are certain advantages to his fairly unique circumstances, though these advantages do not instantly make him a demigod of war capable of defeating all foes with hands tied and eyes closed.One of the protagonists initial goals is to discover and reclaim his lost humanity, this puts him on the path away from sitting in the ground and doing tree things forever. Progress in this direction starts fairly early on so if you're not interested in seeing a monster attempt to reintegrate into civilised society and all the struggles involved this might not be for you.Time passes, due to his nature as a monstrous tree Leif has a much longer lifespan than most people. Leif will witness the rise and fall of nations, see the beginning of new eras and observe the very planet change as time marches inexorably onwards. There will be some light kingdom building, but it isn't the focus of the story.Oh! There's also a subplot involving the origin of the system itself.Three chapters a week, with updates happening at times convenient to an Australian. Enjoy!

Chen Qizhao was reborn and returned to the age of 18 when he was still the wicked little overlord of the Chen family.

At this time, his brother hadn’t experienced a car accident while his parents were in good health and weren’t seriously ill. The Chen family was still the prosperous Chen family and everyone thought he was a good-for-nothing who was useless and easily taken advantage of.

“He only knows how to quarrel with his older brother every day. He is arrogant and willful!”

“He looks good, but unfortunately, he is an idiot.”

“Isn’t he a useless person? Just serve him well.”

“It is a pity about that child of the Chen family.”

There were the group of scoundrel friends who were full of thoughts, the rats eyeing him covetously and the old, cunning people who were secretly scheming.

Chen Qizhao put on a mask of arrogance again. ‘Do you like acting so much? Why don’t we act together?’

It wasn’t until later that everyone discovered that at the end of the play, they would either go bankrupt or be imprisoned.

He found himself face-to-face with a goddess.Seraphina, the Goddess of Life, stood before him with an air of indifference. “Welcome, Ryan, to the world between life and death. I could explain your life and death, but I can’t be bothered. I’m Seraphina, blah blah blah. Go save the world, be a hero... whatever.”Ryan lashed out. “What kind of shitty goddess are you? I don’t want to be a hero!”“How dare you speak to me like that?!” Seraphina’s fury was palpable. She had never been spoken to like this before.Ryan scanned the endless white room, muttering, “So, I’m dead, huh? This is a new world… First thing, get strong. And maybe get some beauties...”“Listen, we’re not done talking—” the goddess started, but Ryan cut her off. “Shut the f**k up! I’m thinking here!” He was beyond thrilled to escape his miserable old life. This felt like a second chance.“Hero? F**k that! Make me a villain,” Ryan growled. “Give me powers like in those anime shows! I want to burn the world down and make them kneel to me!”The goddess paused, clearly annoyed. “Fine, have it your way.” She flicked her wrist, sending a flash of light toward him.Unseen by her, a shadowy presence entered with the light.“I shall grant you one wish,” the goddess muttered bitterly. “Name it, and it will be done.”Ryan’s eyes gleamed. “Anything?” His grin widened. “Make me someone who can f**k countless women and have a hundred wives. And you...” He leered at her, “You’ll be my first.”Before Seraphina could react, a system window appeared before Ryan’s eyes, glowing crimson.[Welcome Ryan Wood][You are reading a message from the system of the chosen ones][You are offered to become the Harem God][Will you accept your fate?][Yes/No]Ryan’s excitement surged. “F**K YES!
