Eldridge, a wanderer across realms, pieced together the delicate balance between immortality as a both a blessing and a curse. Unwilling to accept this, he distorted his own path, leading to his unexpected transformation into a Cursed Artifact.... more>>

With an end to the prologue that was his human existence, he accepted a new identity: Apollyon. As he ascended, countless souls were melted and recast, but his new form still had shackles of its own, and they demanded payment. Apollyon needed them to bear the great karma of his Path towards [Detachment] - the only true unfettered immortality he recognized.

It was a good thing, then, that mortals often sacrificed themselves for a myriad of petty reasons.

As the choices of Apollyon’s wielders reshaped the destinies of those around them, so too did the cursed artifact they accepted affect them. Only, could they bear this pact and accomplish their wishes before the weight of the curse became too much?

Expanded Synopsis:
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chased after immortality rarely ended with happy endings. They either came to terms with their limitations, gave up, and returned to a life of mundanity or faced a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter was often the worse fate, as they came to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained.

Ultimately, the common thread in all these stories was that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. Time and again, people either realized this early and turned back, or pressed forward, doomed to inevitably face the consequences of their choice.

Throughout Eldridge’s travels across countless worlds, nothing had contradicted this saying yet. Every pathway had shackles of its own. To ambitious mortals on the ground, they brought the skies high above down to the earth, leveling the playing field. With luck and determination, they too could become the heaven others looked up to. And, with time, they too would be replaced. After all, what fun was a game if the pieces stayed stagnant over the eons?

It was thanks to this fundamental, foundational law that the determined few were able to defy their fate and achieve immortality for themselves.

Eldridge’s path didn’t break this trend. In fact, his shackles were more binding and restrictive than most. However, he didn’t see it that way.

On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, its feeble form remolded into a Cursed Artifact, cursed by the resentment of a world. All of this, however, was secondary to the fact that his plan had succeeded. An artifact, a weapon, was eternal, after all.

As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload it to someone else? Mortals threw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in times of desperation.

Someone would eventually be willing to foot the bill. Most would, if given the chance. The bait was far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge - all were at their fingertips, if only they said “yes”. Though their meager life alone might not have been enough to bear the weight of all those shackles, what were mortals if not numerous?

Apollyon was very willing to help any lost souls; his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. His help extended to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong. It did not matter. Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course. <<less

The next games were called: Worldbound Warriors: The Great Reincarnation. A thousand unsuspecting creatures were transported into ten worlds vastly different from their own, to compete until one man was left standing.

Xie Jing woke up expecting to find himself in his hospital bed, but what he saw was a dangerous world teeming with vicious monsters that he had never seen before. His bleak but simple life was instantly replaced for one riddled with dangers, excitement, and cultivation.

Followed by a small demon who was filming everything about his life for all the higher worlds to see, ninety-nine other players in the same world who were aiming for his life, and forced to undertake a dangerous infiltration mission by the demonic sect he found himself in, Xie Jing must quickly adapt to his newfound reality, or succumb to the multitude of dangers that sought to take his life. <<less

The Eleventh Prince had always been a worthless wastrel.... more>>

Arrogant, untalented, stupid, shortsighted, selfish, greedy, cowardly, lazy, untrustworthy and abhorrently lustful. Born the shame of the empire; a bane to noble, dutiful wives and daughters everywhere. A failure of a cultivator. A fool.

A wastrel.

The world had watched him mature, yet now it looks on with growing concern. Na Wei, the disgrace of the Na dynasty, now stalks the many lands of Fanghu, his pursuits confounding wise men; his allegiance eluding the grasp of even divinities.

None can fathom his intentions.

Just what does he seek?​ <<less

- A balance of action, worldbuilding, mystery, and eventually crafting (MC sucks at engineering, but loves it)

- Vast universe with conflict, threats, and world building.

- Many tropes, some subverted

As everyone's attention shifted to the clock, its hands inching towards 12, a sudden and unexpected darkness swept over the room. A strange, otherworldly voice echoed through the engulfing shadows, "This will be fun."... more>>

And in that moment, everything changed.

...

"Let's see, for you... what about a game of chess?" the skeleton proposed, its voice a strange blend of ageless wisdom and playful mischief.

...

"The world is filled with uncertainties and choices," the skeleton began, its voice echoing softly in the void. "They intertwine in a beautiful, complex way – not entirely random, but not predetermined either. You're not completely free, yet not entirely a prisoner. To simplify... or perhaps complicate things, I'm setting you humans in a game. A vast game, by your standards. The 'why' of this game is for you to uncover, as is its objective."

...

“You’ve pondered it, but the true scope of this Game is beyond your wildest imagination…” A brief pause punctuated its point, “You are simply too limited in your current state to grasp its magnitude,” it continued. “No matter what strategy you devise, what concept you conjure, or what combination you dream up, anything within the realm of human creation or conception, even with your stats boosted a thousandfold, will not even remotely approach the complexity of the Game.”

...

"Your efforts may finally prove beneficial, Alice," her mother continued, her tone shifting as she broached a subject heavy with implications. "We have received an offer of marriage on your behalf. Richard, the Count's second son, has shown interest."

...

In the quiet, she schemed, her influence extending unseen through whispered words and carefully planted ideas. Her musings occasionally ventured to whether it was sight that rendered others so blissfully unaware of the deeper currents of life, or if she, endowed with an extraordinary mind amidst her physical limitations, was an anomaly in a world too shallow to fathom her depths.

...

Maybe, just maybe, her times of boredom were over.

...

Did the fact he didn't fight on the front lines mean he was a coward? The reality was he really wished he could. How could he not crave the adrenaline of wielding superhuman strength, of shouting as he faced insurmountable odds? He wished he had magic, he wished he could level up and be respected by friends and foes alike. He wished for it a lot. Fuck, he wished he still had his other eye and his arm. But reality was cruel; he was dealt a bad hand and had to make the most of it. He made his choices, his sacrifices, for the best outcome.

What's in store with “A Tale of Fate, Choices & Summons, Vol. 1: The Summoner’s Gambit"?

Yesterday, Vayra had nothing. Now, she’s sharing a soul with an Immortal. ... more>>

As a street urchin, she had nothing but dreams—until she was chosen to fight in a war of Gods. She’s the Mediator, a mortal avatar whose spirit can host a God, allowing her to practice a forgotten form of cultivation.

The problem is, she knows nothing. Worse, the Goddess bound to her soul is the weakest of the pantheon, not to mention clumsy and forgetful.

Vayra’s duty as Mediator is to defeat the tyrannical God of the Sea and restore balance to the universe. But first, she must venture across the high seas and to different worlds to save her little brother from a deadly poison.

She must train, earn, and fight for every inch of progress she makes. If she can’t master her power in time, she will lose her brother forever—if she isn't killed by the servants of an angry God first.

A cultivation flintlock fantasy set during the age of sail, where life-energy is absorbed from magic waters, where black powder dominates warfare, and where pirates rule the oceans.

~~~

What to Expect:

- Cultivation in a flintlock fantasy world. It’s not in your typical xianxia setting. This world is meant to have a western, seafaring fantasy feel, despite using a cultivation system.
- Weak to strong progression. A reasonably-flawed lead with immense potential for growth—when the growth is earned.
- An adventure. Characters have goals and destinations that often lead them far from home in the search for power.
- A bit of grit. Characters aren’t invincible and injuries are inevitable.
- Worldbuilding and slice-of-life. Characters won’t always be gaining new abilities and power each chapter.
- 1800-2500 word chapters.

~~~

In an era of gunpowder, cannons, and conflict on a scale never before seen, do immortals and magic still have a place? With the world against her, can Vayra turn the tides in her favour? Can she…even survive?

His plight got a lot worse when he stumbled upon a Key that the Heavenly Union seemed to desperately want. The bounty on his head skyrocketed; the whole world was after him.

His life turned into a nightmare. He couldn't even shit in peace, let alone cultivate.

And now, they have finally cornered him.

Fortunately, he knows a Yantra, and his only chance to escape death is by... killing himself.

The Universe is the perfect dish, cooked and prepared by an Almighty hand, and Lei will slowly learn the greater truth that is the Dao of Cooking.... more>>

It's hard to adapt to a new world, especially to an ancient one. So when Lei found himself in a Xianxia world, he thought the best thing to do was to go against all these strange things with the only thing he knew -- Cooking. Though, he had to admit, the hovering screen before his eyes that told him to 'Feed People' certainly helped in that decision.

Come along, and watch as Lei starts with a makeshift stall, then dives into a sect full of cultivators, and conquers the heart of these cold-blooded people who can command the winds and the skies with his tasty, a touch too strange for this world, dishes.

What to expect:
- Gourmet chef cooking seasoned wings, heart-warming soups, grilling spiritual beasts.
- A sort of different system that has complex skills.
- This is not a slice-of-life story.
- Our MC will cultivate, although a touch more different than others.
- The LitRPG elements will be light. There won't be any stats. <<less
