"Your name is Kai. Not 1508. Remember that." "Yes, Master." He was born broken. Sickly. Weak. His left leg crippled by years of beatings. Slave 1508 was unworthy, unsold, and unwanted. In the dark corners of Omino Village-where women breed and children are raised only to be sold as slaves-there's no mercy for the useless. At eighteen, Kai was a failure. No one bought him. Three attempts. Three rejections. His fate? To be taken down. Erased. Killed. Until he arrived. A stranger with cold eyes and quiet power. He bought Kai without hesitation. Gave him a name. Touched him like he was something fragile... and precious. "You're mine now. And I decide what you're worth." Kai doesn't understand kindness. Or desire. Especially not when it comes with strong hands, low whispers, and a heat that coils in his belly every time his master gets too close. But the man who saved him is not just a savior. There are secrets behind that calm voice. And danger comes with every kiss. Kai was worthless. Until the right man decided he was priceless. --- Warnings!!

Sky, a young girl who was reincarnated in a world filled with powerful cultivators, finds herself at the center of an ancient prophecy. Born as a genetic chimera, she possesses both physical and spiritual aptitudes, yet her powers manifest late, leaving her labeled a "dud" by her peers. In the city of Seven Star, Sky’s life is turned upside down when an accident in a dangerous lake awakens her latent abilities and grants her control over the mysterious Heaven Lake Space. As Sky begins her studies at the prestigious academy, she uncovers the truth about her origins. The prophecy foretold the rise of a being who would restore balance between the fractured realms of gods, spirits, and mortals—foretelling her role as the one destined to heal the rift caused by a dark god centuries ago. With this knowledge, Sky must navigate a world full of danger, intrigue, and hidden enemies. Alongside her three roommates—Aerin, Mira, and Caius—Sky struggles to master her abilities, all while hiding her true potential from those who would use her as a pawn. She faces the complexities of friendship, rivalry, and love, particularly with the aloof and mysterious Kai Xu, a talented cultivator with an illness tied to the ancient powers of the realms. As she takes on her first major challenges—survival exams, spirit beast contracts, and navigating political intrigue—Sky learns that the prophecy is not just about restoring balance but about stopping the dark forces that threaten to consume the world. Her journey leads her to the discovery of a legendary Vermilion Bird egg, setting her on a path to find the other three legendary beasts tied to the prophecy, each of which holds the key to unlocking the realms' salvation. But with every step, enemies emerge from the shadows, and Sky’s growing power makes her both a target and a beacon of hope. As the first book concludes with a climactic battle against the Nameless One, a dark force that threatens to undo the goddess’s work, Sky realizes that her role as the Chosen One is far from over. The balance between realms may have been restored, but greater challenges lie ahead in a world full of secrets, ancient beings, and powerful factions vying for control.
