Five Element Overlord: I Can Upgrade Everything!

KaeNovels

D36/100
Li Hao is transmigrated into a Xianxia cultivation world and thrust into the life of a servant in the Azure Cloud Sect. He has the worst quality trash five-element spiritual roots — in any other's position, he'd be chopping wood and eating inferior pills for the rest of his life. However, he binds with a system that can upgrade everything. A burnt, poisonous pill? One upgrade away from a priceless Marrow Cleansing Elixir. An old cracked butter knife? A few upgrades from a blade that slices through Demonic Serpent Scales. With his upgrade ability, Li Hao climbs through a world of sects, clans, and royal dynasties in constant war — accumulating magic items, spirit stones, and wealth along the way.

God Of Velmoryn

Winged Sage

D36/100
One moment I was a nobody — a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. The next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen informing me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, but a god nonetheless. No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers. So I destroyed the last statue of the velmoryn goddess: if I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers, and a little divine intervention seemed like the right place to start. Now I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't understand, and a world that won't take kindly to a new deity on the rise.

Liam has had a rough life and sees this as his one chance to make something of himself. To maximize his gains, he accepts a brutal trade-off: no offensive powers, no weapons, not even a thrown punch. In exchange, he receives passive abilities that could make him unstoppable — if he survives long enough to use them. The Gold Rush 2.0 is on, the competition is murderous, and Liam's only edge is learning to turn passivity into dominance.
