"A being of light embraced by darkness."... more>>

Evan spent the first years of his life in an eternal sleep.

But this sleep was not really eternal, it was all due to the assimilation of the Night System which was assimilating with his body.

Now that he woke up, he was confronted with reality.

What he never had in the nightmare world, he now has; the family he never had is now by his side, people who love and support him, he now has.

Author's notes

Hello, I am republishing the novel after rewriting it from scratch. I have points to clarify about the novel.

1- The novel has spelling mistakes which will be corrected as the novel progresses.

2- The novel is slow in progress, but I will try not to take too long to reach certain points that we all expect.

3- For those who want to read the previous version, since this version has many of the previous one but this time the themes have been polished in a better way you can read it in the patreon for free (In these days I will put them for free). <<less

Liu Feng wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens, surpassed all limits, and had jade-skinned beauties clamoring around him. He wanted to fight anyone who got in his way, and shatter the arrogance of those young masters!... more>>

Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I'm stuck here.

Jade-like beauties? No thanks, I have an awesome magical energy to study.

Young masters? Life and death battles? No, I would rather read some books on cultivation, and master some techniques that clearly don't obey the laws of physics.

There is a junior who has trash talent but suddenly started advancing by leaps and bounds? And he seems to be favored by the heavens themselves? Yeah, that has nothing to do with me.

Rein, on the cusp on adulthood, found his family and town destroyed by forces beyond his understanding. Thus, the destiny within his heart called to him to seek out the cause of his calamity. So begins his journey as an advancer-- a title given to those who use magic to shape the world to their will.... more>>

Author's note:

I've always been a fan of progression fantasy. However, I do feel disappointed by many of them, with too many characters that vanish into irrelevancy, sometimes arcs that are overly repetitive and a lack of characters ideals. In this story, I aim to instill more character ideals, motivations, and integrate said characters throughout the story, and ensure their interaction with the main character remain relevant to his heart. Perhaps, it's best to say I want the story to have a 'human spirit' that one could feel in old-school wuxia and action/adventure stories. <<less

Heroes, Villains and those in between constantly struggle in a world where the race to the top of the food chain can be brutal and... more>> unforgiving.

Meet Zanda, fresh from the prestige of becoming a Gevurah, member of the Fifth Sephirah, a powerful league of guardians in charge of protecting the seemingly perfect reality of planet Malkuth. Yet, her first day after graduation spirals into unforeseen chaos, reminding her that the luminosity of malkuthian society masks a profound darkness. As the young Gevurah confronts the challenges her new title involves, she is thrust into a journey beyond the realms of her training and expectations.... more>>

Parallel to Zanda's tale is that of Adria, a woman ensnarled in the brutal survivalist life of Dictaduria, the third country in the continent for exiled criminals, Sectum. Wrongly accused of her crimes, living in poverty and marooned in a social structure designed to mirror the struggles of a life under failed political regimes, Adria finds herself forgotten by time. That, until the day an unexpected opportunity that could change the core of who she is, and bring her liberty, presents itself when a bloodied and tortured man named Corven crosses her path, about to be murdered by sadistic hands.

"A Tree of Omens" is meant to interlace the destinies of Zanda and Adria, two souls from disparate worlds, bound by a shared fate that will pave the path for new generations in a galaxy where futuristic ideals and ancient secrets collide.

With the promise of a timeless epic that not only questions the nature of utopia but also the very fabric that weaves our universe, this is an open invitation to witness the unfolding of The Omens.

The journey begins now – are you ready to delve into the hidden knowledge? <<less

When everything in existence suffers a change, or welcomes it, and what is to come has finally come - would it beget with its origination the terror, deathliness, tragedy, torment and devastation? Or would it, by any chance, differ from its authentic nature and reality?... more>>

In the deepest of the first starless dark blue night, its point of origin vastly different from the one where everything 'began'... a beautiful hand reaches to taint the most fearsome. Would its origin bring chaos to it all?
--- *** ---

What are the words that hold the utmost power? What are the thoughts that break it all? Which are those who shine brightest, gloom darker, and explode defiantly against reality who prevail?

Any lifeform of the world, no matter how advanced and evolved; all become subject to terror for the very same ones:

One, afraid of the dark. Two, of the violent forces of Nature. Three, of Injustice.

It's not about having the reason on your side; it's not about having the power to demand for subservience and is not whether one is right or not... It's about taking it all with your own hands!

No darkness is gloom without light to obverse it; no light shines brighter without endless emptiness. But it is only one that is; only that has been; only one that can; that will; that KNOWS.

One little grain of sand can evolve into a dried-up sea; one little animal can become a monster; one sole thought can become reality... But can any of them regress, lose it all, suffer nonsensically, and beget — 'all that exists and there is'?

Would they be willing to? ...Can they do it? ...Do they understand?

---
Synopsis for dummies:

Born in a world where every imaginable thing is so advanced even the earth one can step on moves and thinks, met with the pureness of nature at birth, and touched by the unimaginable.

To see the future is for fools. To long for the past is too late. But to see ahead is the only road.

What might be a long and arduous lifelong objective for one can be a simple step for others. What others can't see might be sensed by someone else. And to walk as one never betrays themselves... is glory.

When the bells ring, the heavens change, the world trembles, and a change is called upon... Will there finally be that something that has been missing? What the world had lacked all this long? What... the world deserves? Will a person change that? Will they do it all alone, terribly consumed in coldness and leaving horrors wherever that person walks? Or will there be a returning change that the world has even forgotten for... ever?

Even the smallest of rebellions and uprisings... can be the start of everything.

Have you ever wished to live your life in a different world? To forget everything in your life and escape into your own Fantasy Story? To not just have an Avatar that just appears and does things, but to act as an actual person within this world, with their own family, friends, background, and life?... more>>

Fantasy Story Online, the latest VRMMORPG experience, promised an incredibly immersive virtual reality experience, giving any player the ability to create an entire background for their character. A new family, a new home, a new life, and a new story. With its unique approach to virtual reality, making it seem as if your character itself was truly reincarnated inside a fantasy world, the entire industry of videogames was sent into a storm.

Enter Paul, a young man in his nineteens, just entering the second year of college and getting ready to dive into this fantastical game, eager to have a better year at college after working out and gaining some more self-confidence. The thing is, he has social anxiety, and he’s having a really hard time socializing.

Until he met Chris, perhaps his first friend in college, a slightly bratty tomgirl that only wants to poke fun at his social awkwardness, but that is his only hope to learn how to socialize. And perhaps to learn what love is.

When these two souls find themselves inside the Realm of Eternal Night, Obscuritas, as both a Crippled Vampire Prince and a Half-Incubus, they will have to work together to navigate their new second lives in this virtual fantasy world full of Evil Gods, Demons, and the invasions of Eldritch monstrosities every Saturday night.

Yet Fantasy Story Online is a fair game, where it gives a Flaw, it also offers a Trait, and after learning that their characters have become the reincarnations of the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Emperor, who once battled inside the ancient Realm of Murim, things are bound to become crazy and break every conception of what this game even was about to the other Players.

How will Paul deal with the harsh, ruthless politics of the Imperial Vampire Family?

And how will Chris survive this harsh world as a being who must drain the life force of others to sustain himself?

And will Paul ever survive Chris' shenanigans?

Who knows? Maybe even the most unlikely pair will end up becoming the only hope for this war-thorn Realm!

Dive deep into this mix of Virtual Reality, Action, LitRPG x Cultivation Progression, Comedy, and Romance, which I’m sure will be fun as long as you read with an open mind.

It has all the things you love about LitRPG, Virtual Reality, and also Romance and Comedy sprinkled into it to make it an absolutely unique experience, especially in the nowadays saturated LitRPG genre. <<less

Yasenia is a child born different from the rest, her mother, Tatyana, used an ancient technique she found to absorb the world's energy to get pregnant instead of having regular intercourse.

Kaleb wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters with a new tattoo that he doesn't remember getting.

They see you when you’re sleeping. They know when you’re awake. They want to skin you all alive so run or you’ll get flayed!
The map is on your skin and starting now, the hunt is on.
Good look out there, players. We hope you enjoy your stay in the idyllic and welcoming world of Celestia.>

(WARNING! - The Author is not responsible for any actions, words, memetic hazards used by, or impressionable youths corrupted by, the MC.)

Meet ALPHA-555-12-4412; an unstable, unpredictable, and possibly insane Sapient AI of dubious morals with a love for everything that goes "Boom!".

All qualities that make him perfect as the "Spearhead" for the technologically advanced Third Galactic Federation of Sapients' and its "Galactic Unification Project". When you need a rebellion quelled, or a new species subjugated, you call in an Alpha Strike!

But when Alpha finds himself trapped in a world filled with reality-warping magics and thousand-year-old Cultivators, He quickly learns he might be out of his depths for once.

And like any good fish out of water, he adapts the best he knows how; by giving the fish a pair of sick robot legs and equipping it with a battleship-rated intercontinental Railgun!

Soon all the Worlds of the Grand Firmament will learn; He's not trapped inside with them; they're trapped in here with Him.

Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect.... more>>

Brief Synopsis:
American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities.

The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series.

Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know.

I want to do this the right way.
