As a treacherous minister, I embody a simple creed: when the emperor calls, I answer; when officials kneel, I stand. I spend the treasury's silver freely and control the kingdom's military might.

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

MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.... more>>

Wu Jian comes from a small clan eking out a living in the countryside. Despite being the clan heir, he is bullied for being cowardly and weak. In a world where the strength of a person's cultivation determines their lot in life, weakness is not allowed, and those who possess it are often stamped out.

But Wu Jian doesn't want to remain weak. He doesn't want to be a coward. He wants to be strong. Witness the rise of one young man who, with the help of his childhood friend, will face adversity, forge new bonds of love and friendship, and gain the strength needed to protect his loved ones and find meaning in his life.

It all begins here.

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

However, a twist of fate alters Ansh's course as the universe approaches its inevitable demise. Imbued with a mysterious black bead, Ansh is propelled into a newfound destiny.

Guided by the fading echoes of the universe's last breaths, Ansh navigates through the vast expanse. Breaking through formidable barriers into a Universe brimming with Life. Filled with powerful beings, Gods and Immortals who could topple mountains and overturn the seas with a mere wave of their hands. A world where strength reigns supreme.

"I may have been dealt a cruel hand in my previous life, but here, I have the chance to forge my own destiny," he muses, steeling himself for the challenges that lie ahead. With each step forward, Ansh confronts the shadows of his past while embracing the promise of a future filled with newfound strength and possibility.

But those emotionless heavens *sighs*

Sek Gon really has no idea what everyone is talking about. He's just going for a stroll through the countryside and everyone is grabbing his sleeves and babbling about him being some Jade Exorcist who will save them all from the demons terrorising Sek'syun Country.
As if this isn't annoying enough, he picks up two stray dogs - a creepy woman who tries to kill him any opportunity she can get, and an overly enthusiastic young man who wants to be a white knight.

"You cannot. He took them, and crushed them into blood. Take my hurt, you say? But it is all I have left of them."
Healer Yuen Sou Yuet has somehow found themselves saddled with a travelling companion, a gender-shifting, trouble-making necromancer. They're stuck with each other - Sou Yuet must undergo a trial to prove their worthiness as successor to the Yuen Mei School of Healing, whilst the necromancer essentially requires a parole officer after committing multiple crimes and continuously escaping imprisonment. 
And so the unlikely duo travel from country to country, investigating the disappearance of legendary creatures across the world. The farther they go, the closer to home some of their revelations are.

Su Jing transmigrated into a cultivation story.... more>>

Now, you might think that's all well and good, but let's not forget one crucial detail: Su Jing was not the star of this story, not by a long shot. The spotlight belonged to someone else, a girl who's got it all—talent, luck, power, and even a beautiful man who's madly in love with her.

And Su Jing? She's just trying not to get killed, which is no small feat in a realm where folks trained endlessly to harness their inner qi and do supernatural things like fly on swords, shoot fireballs, and debate the meaning of life while suspended upside-down on mountaintops.

As Su Jing navigates through this over-the-top story, she discovers that her mere presence is throwing everything off balance. She's not the chosen one, and she's definitely not here to save the day. But somehow, the story is changing, and Su Jing isn't even lifting a finger.

Let's just say her days of boring, ordinary existence were officially over.

Disclaimer: English is not my first language!
Slow progress, weak and unwilling protagonist. It may not appeal to everybody.

They say life can change in an instant. The ebb and flow that keeps the balance of the world in check would often lead to the unexpected. For good or for bad, it is an essential aspect of life. It is this ordered chaos that led to a set of unfortunate circumstances for tech college student, Eugene Cutter. Walking in the park on his way home, his life was ended by the mishap of a mysterious old immortal. This would lead him to live a new life as the slave servant Gu, of the Myriad Puppet Pavilion. Using the gifts given to him, and the knowledge of his old home, he will strive to survive... more>> in the harsh realities of the cultivation world, all the while making new friends, loved ones, and uncovering the mysteries this new life has to offer.

A/N:
There will be Romance, but not for a long time. MC starts off young.
The story is a little dark, but not grimdark.
There is no release schedule. It will be erratic. Please forgive me for this.

WARNINGS:
Don’t read this as self-insert or power fantasy.
It's a cultivation world, with erotica as a world building flavour. Sex scenes will be sporadic, if at all.
Expect arrogant young masters, dual cultivation, NTR, rape and other sensitive content that some readers may find unsettling.
Also, expect futanari and erotic nonstandard social norms.
Regarding NTR, see the bottom note.

†No netori planned but could be fun in future [it would have naturally developed]. Do I intend to cuck the MC? Technically/emotionally no, but practically, yes. The first instance of NTR is Netorase or NTS, not actual NTR. The closest western approximation is "swinging". [Note the S instead of R at the end. It has a completely different meaning.] I will avoid classical Netorare as I prefer "hypersexuality", “sluts”, “inclusion”, “orgies”, and “kink”, and not “emotional pain”, “exclusion”, “stealing” and “love loss”. <<less

Finally... I've came back to my senses but...

Bullied at school and neglected by his parents, Tom Fiddle finds himself at his wit’s end, until he receives a strange email offering him a job as a cultivation clan’s spirit automaton.... more>>

But what *is* a spirit automaton?

After a successful application, he gets an answer to his question: a spirit automaton is an arcane spirit attached to a pocket realm. They can shape this miniature world to their liking and conjure spiritual entities, usually monsters, out of thin air. Their role is to create and administer trial-by-fires. These life and death competitions determine whether a disciple is *chosen* or merely *trash* that deserves to be left by the wayside.

Tom’s new responsibility will affect the lives of millions of cultivators and shape the future of hundreds of worlds, dozens of galaxies, and eventually, the universe itself.

Will Tom use his newfound power to torment others and merely benefit himself? Or will he rewrite the course of history and transform the path of cultivation from a path of blood and destruction, to one of peace and tranquility? <<less

The third time never happens because somebody stops him instead.

His disciple says, "Shizun, I hated you. But now I just want to stay by your side."
His senior sighs, "Ah-Xuan, the world is too vast to be contained within a single human heart."

After transmigrating into a cultivation setting, all Mo Yixuan wants is peace and quiet in his new life. Becoming a peak lord of a secluded sect seems to net him exactly what he needs. Yet Heaven divines where Man designs, forcing each to face their fate. When the past is remembered and their debts revived, just who will accompany him in the end?

His disciple whispers, "My redemption."
His senior smiles, "My fated half."
Mo Yixuan only shakes his head. "My plan is to stay single."

Description:

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.

Summary 2:

After Tang Yuan became pregnant with a steamed bun, life was a little difficult, with catching ghosts and also giving prenatal education to their child, yes, prenatal education. 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

An era where war across the multiverse, where heavenly geniuses were born and forged by the dozens, but also slaughtered like mere ants, an era where rivers of blood were shed and even the heaven's wept at the loss of its chosen scions. It also lead to the rise of a prodigious cultivator, a cultivator unmatched in history. No records of his birth are known, the various super forces of the multiverse, that pride themselves upon maintaining a detailed record of history are not even aware of his name, simply addressing him by 'Enigma'. It is as if his very existance was wiped out from the annals of time, yet we are all aware of his accomplishments. Sadly, even he had failed on the road to immortality, at the very final step.

In his final act, he used what insights he had gained to create a system that will allow other's to embark on the journey he once did, to give them a chance at achieving what he could not do, to unearth the various talents in the boundless multiverse, and give them a fair chance. However, a fair chance is only a chance, for at the end the strong will prosper and the weak will suffer, only through trials by fire can a rough gem become a shining diamond.

Watch Tim's journey as he finds himself in Enigma's multiverse, a man who seeks vengeance, but does not have a target for his vengeance. A weak, powerless individual from the weakest race. Will he shock the scions of the multiverse or fall by the sword of a nameless cultivator?
