"War was nothing new to the Nine Realms. So long as there was life there would be greed; that hunger for power, that thirst for more. No, war was nothing new to the Nine Realms, but a war between realms? Aside from Heaven and Hell, which realm dared? So what of a war that encompassed them all?"... more>>

Summary 1:

Tang Yuan suffered from a strange illness, so because of this, Tang Yuan pounced upon Xie Yu. A month later, Tang Yuan discovered that Xie Yu was a big shot in the world of tianshi (Taoist Masters), his existence the greatest fear of numerous ghosts. But that big shot was now obligated to marry him, because he was carrying the big shot’s steamed bun.

One year later:

Xie Yu: “Isn’t it time for our pup to be born?”

Two years later:
Xie Yu: “Don’t worry about it. Maybe you’re carrying a nezha (protection deity who was carried for 3.5 years in mother’s womb)?”

Three years later:

Xie Yu: “You really are probably carrying a nezha!”

Ten Years later:

Xie Yu: “Shall we not just give birth to this child? Since he’s obviously not ready, let’s beat him up!”

Pup: “I will remember this animosity for the rest of my life!”

After being carried for ten years and one month, the steamed bun was finally born. The steamed bun was white and tender at birth, extremely loveable. But on just his first day after being born, the steamed bun kicked his father, Xie Yu, in the face with his tender foot.

But he did teach, he taught for ten whole years. Then Tang Yuan said: Who wants a bratty steamed bun? Who wants me to give them one?

Shou, Tang Yuan, a heavens-defying genius VS Gong, Xie Yu, with off the charts gentleness

Not a scientific/natural pregnancy, no pregnant belly, the steamed bun is born in the final arc (though the steamed bun often appears), fluffy supernatural story, try not to be too scared. <<less

If you're here looking for an overpowered protagonist in a fantasy world fighting off the evil, with the ability to wreck everything in his path,
this isn't the place.

are about myself and for myself

Born with a gift, I can see what others cannot
sometimes its useful, sometimes it really bothers me, all times super annoying and kinda weird

In a crumbling realm of a long-dead immortal, in a forsaken corner of the universe, two souls cross paths.... more>>

Xin is a burnout prodigy, living a solitary life as a hunter, until one day he sees his hometown levelled to the ground by a giant boar.

Wu Lei is a street urchin, persevering through a lifetime of pain and abuse, forced into a criminal syndicate at a very young age.

So different, yet so similar, they quickly form a bond, which will be tested over the decades to come.

This is a dark, slow-burning tale of resilience and transformation. In a world where grand narratives are forged, not given, and shortcuts are carved, not found, Xin and Lei embark on a relentless journey of martial arts, cultivation and friendship, with its beautiful ups and painful downs.

What to expect:
1. There are no cheat codes. The mcs are both talented individuals, yet they aren't the chosen ones. They don't belong to any prophecy or grand plot, and have to claw their way into relevance.

2. It's a psychological work at its core, and a coming of age story at that. The mcs evolve drastically, but naturally, and they will at times frustrate the audience. This is by design.

3. The cultivation system is very detailed and thought out, everything is explained gradually as to not overwhelm the reader. Please have patience, every single type of cultivation will be studied in-depth and explained. The plot is also not what it seems at first, and evolves much further than it seems at first.

4. This book is very edgy at times. I don't do things just to shock people, and I believe that every edgy piece of content I write has a reason behind it, but you have been warned.

5. I am an ESL author. This means that I'll mess up an article or two, and some of my phrasings will be a bit unusual. I am constantly reading English literature and working on improving my writing, and I certainly get better as the chapters go on, but keep this in mind. I'm also not a professional writer, so I can't afford to edit too much.

6. The narration style switching between first and third form is intentional, same for not using italics. It's not a quirk or a whim, but an experimental choice that will become very relevant in future chapters.

I have 131 chapters written currently, and will post them gradually. <<less

Liu Hong never thought he would get transmigrated!

What's going on? All of his saved characters were perfect to the max?... more>>

Liu Hong: ??? Was the cultivation this slow in the game? Surely my Sublime Chaos meridians would speed it up a bit.

Liu Hong: The Lin Family Patriarch seems to dislike me, even calling me a demon. How can this be? All of my characters have a preset 4+ affinity factor with him, even at the start. Nobody seems to want to call me by my name either??

???: What a good looking foreigner! It's unfortunate the colors of their hair and eyes are so frivolous.

Liu Hong: ?? Foreigner??? Frivolous?? What do you mean?

Liu Hong: (Takes out a mirror and spits blood) Ah !@&**@!!! It's my joke file!!!

------

It was a joke. Choosing such a busted character was really a joke. The blonde hair, the blue eyes, the strange, foreign and unfavorable background that no one knew the details of; even in the 10 year old game forum with stagnant water like him. It was all to get a few extra cutscenes and higher NPC aggression factor in Liu Hong's much-loved shitty cultivation MMORPG game. A test try.

Liu Hong tried it, raged about the difficulty, and abandoned the save file at only Level 3. 3 years of age. It stayed, untouched in his vault of dozens upon dozens of perfected characters for a whole year. One afternoon, when he was extremely drunk, Liu Hong died from a hit and run, only to find himself in his favorite xianxia MMORPG world.

He never thought that he would be so unlucky as to reincarnate into this very same save file! <<less
