Yunwu Shi was a very old sect, hell-bent of protecting their home and the only remnants of their ancestors, the FIre Altar. It was made up of an ancient sect, the beast guardians of the Old Fire Kingdom. A known fact that was ignored by the Listerians. One, because they have been elusive for centuries after the passing of their Fire Sovereign. Second, they have never appeared to the Nanus inhabitants of Listeria, ever, in their anima form. ... more>>

Believed to be merely beastkins who has lost their anima form, they have been treated as a special cultivators' sect, that was detached from the rest of the world. That was until Xu Ningshu had taken over the sect and started a regime to cultivate Shadow Guards. The Shadow Guards of Shi were a special group of cultivators that was trained for the then young lord to investigate the passing of his mother and protect his youngest brother with a strange fate.

Xu Ningyan, the very life and death Yunwu Shi, Shi Country and Listeria as a whole.

This is a story about a native cultivator of the Gu world. He lived in the era of/before Spectral Soul Demon Venerable (two venerable eras before the main RI plot). He suffered the rise of the demon venerable, barely able to make his arrangements before his death. He manages to rebirth, but doesn't everything go as planned. The story starts off in an isolated small word (grotto heaven), until the MC can grow and reclaim his former glory, before surpassing it. (long way, he was already rank 8 before) The MC has a pragmatic worldview, aligned with what you would expect from someone living hundreds of years in that kind of hostile environment. He doesn't shy away from immoral acts if it benefits him. The MC bears close resemblance to Fang Yuan in this regard, but his goal is not eternal life.

One of my aims was to showcase the later introduced cultivation rules into the mortal cultivation (dao marks, attainment etc.) and explore novel scenarios within this highly technical cultivation environment. <<less

For time immemorial, the Empire has waged war. ... more>>

They turned their fangs on all who wouldn’t stand with them, striking down both friend and foe alike— forging a legacy of cloaked daggers and bloody struggles in the dark. Theirs is a throne built on the backs of countless tragedies and a million atrocities.

Nevertheless, time passes, and with it, so did memory of their bloodstained deeds.

Now, on an isolated island where a nation grows unchecked, where a new generation grows up without the glory of war, where age-old miracles are spun into new stories, and new inventions serve older purposes— The Empire lives in a time of mundane wonder and tenuous peace.

That isn’t to say that the old horrors have been idle, despite being forgotten.

Where war no longer decimates the street, insidious growths flourish in the shadows of the city's golden lights; modern nightmares veiled in theological lace and rotting silks prowl the dark, all the while less monstrous monsters grow fat on the ruins of war-torn nations.

In another world, heroes wielding virtuous ideals and divine decrees would’ve taken a stand, but the era of stark villainy and righteous heroics are long dead, mercilessly ground to dust and buried beneath the ashes of their world.

Yet despite this, nestled within the capital proper, lives a girl who wants nothing more than to live a steady life. The issues within her society couldn’t mean less to her. After all, she has bigger things to worry about, like deciding what to wear, unearthing the secrets of long-lost art, and fulfilling those promises she made all those years ago.

But as the novelty of peace grows old, and as old plans come to fruition and older enemies crawl into the light, her plans to secure a quiet life grow more distant than ever.

Starry Eyed is a high fantasy web novel about troubled individuals trying to make their way in an uncaring world, where larger-than-life problems often seem more insignificant than personal ones, where old virtues are perverted and new evils are caught in a bittersweet light. The story is set in a world where modern-day fantasy magic meets Victorian and steampunk revolution, in a time similar to our own second industrial revolution, with hints of enlightenment and renaissance era ideals, mixed with contemporary themes.

This story is updated every other week, on Sundays. <<less

The Maedra. Foul flesh-born creatures which lurk in the darkest pits hidden across the Overworld, lying in wait for the time Crux is revived so that they can once more plunder the lands and feast on anything that lives. Beasts with no other function but to devour and tear the world asunder for their merciless leader. They've lurked within the Ravine, festering like a plague, for centuries. Finally, they've been exterminated. Through grit and rage, Jake has burned the Ravine from the inside out, slaughtering the Maedra in their nests until not a single one remained. All to repay the debt of hate and blood.... more>>

With his task complete, Jake returns to the surface with a burden to carry. Darius, or Delmuth as was his Elven name, fell to the Maedra and left behind a pair of blades. As repayment for both his teaching and out of respect for the Swordmaster, Jake has decided to return the fallen Elf's swords to the rightful family. He first returns home to prepare and then begins his travel north to the Land of the Elves. A long, grueling trek that will take longer than a year to complete one-way. An adventure that will see him crossing hundreds of miles, passing thousands of faces, and encountering both friends and enemies alike.

What he doesn't know is that along the way, he will learn that the Maedra aren't the only evil creatures that the Overworld cradles. <<less

Finally! After hundreds of years of suppression and abuse, humanity produced a genius!

---

From 391 Aetil to 'now', humanity has had to live as the servants of the Gods. They had been wrongfully abused and used as slaves with no rights. Just as they were going to give up and forever live at the bottom of the food chain, hunted by every existence and used as sources of entertainment, a genius with extraordinary talent had been born!

Raymond Valtere, or Ray for short, had been born. And only 5 years after his birth, he was sealed away by some Gods who were afraid of his talent.

Sealed in the Void, where nothing exists, Ray trains and learns. In a place where his mind ages yet his body doesn't, he meets the Void and comes to see it as a sort of Guardian that raised him.

Ray reaches the peak of his talent and, eventually, reaches the peak of humanity. Now wielding the power of the Void, he sets out to free humanity from the shackles of the Gods. Though he might find other goals in the future, not everything is certain!

But... Why is he so strange? And why isn't he perfect, as all heroes should be?

Reincarnation is like a routine for Nikolay. Die, laugh (or cry) about it, then get sent off to have your heart broken again.
Thanks to a set of unfortunate circumstances, Nikolay's routine has been flipped on its head. This time, he is forced to share his new body with an infuriating guy named Raine. And almost immediately, they realise that they absolutely hate each other's guts.
To make matters worse, the gods need them to run an errand. Something about the world ending? Though, Raine and Nikolay are probably too busy fighting amongst themselves to care that much.
The gods better know what they're doing, because this sounds like a horrible idea.

Some clarifications and notes:

- While this is a School Life/SoL Novel, it contains dark and traumatic content. I advise you to be aware, as I won't put warnings to spoil avid horror readers.

- Multiple characters with some exploration, town-building, and politics. There's something for everyone and I never write a perspective without you knowing something new afterwards.

- The Game World of Callixtus has an entire map, along with special ranking, magic systems, races, classes, and commands/spells. I'll make a list once enough information is given.

- This book contains Drama and Romance aspects, though they'll be naturally occurring and won't be the focus of the story.

- There are a lot of characters both in Callixtus and in the real world. At some point, I'll create a fandom/wiki so you'll be able to visualize them all with art, along with a ranking chart of the different academy brackets. <<less

Since the ancient times, many mortals have believed in the passage of afterlife.
