The Shadow Ascendant

Betrayed and killed in a fiery explosion, elite modern assassin Aurelia is transmigrated into a brutal magical world. Reborn into a frail body, she discovers a realm where corrupt mages, led by the hypocritical Light Saint Serena, slaughter elves for power. But Aurelia refuses to be a victim. Bound to an ancient ring, she awakens the dormant Origin Force, granting her apocalyptic physical strength that shatters high-tier magic like fragile glass. Teaming up with Valerius, a fearsome Warlord burdened by a monstrous shadow dragon curse, Aurelia declares war on the corrupted elites. From barehandedly catching legendary shadow arrows to punching arrogant gods into the dirt, she carves a bloody, unstoppable path to the top. Ascending as the new Goddess of Dominion, Aurelia will tear down the rotting heavens, protect her newfound family, and prove to the multiverse that absolute power doesn't require a magic wand—sometimes, all you need is a devastating right hook.
