After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face?

None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts.

Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Unable to satisfy its directive to obtain perfection, the most powerful machine lifeform in the galaxy finds itself at the end of its life cycle. When the sun consumes it, that should have been the end.... more>>

In another world, an unusual sword appears in the Seven Killing Swords sect and the battle over it causes such a calamity that it sets two entities on an inevitable, destined collision course. One of them is Lan Xiaohui, a disciple of the sect is betrayed by the man she is engaged to and left for dead in the sect's ancient and deadly hunting grounds with a broken cultivation. The other is the sword that is the source of great calamities due to its aura that compels all intelligent creatures to own it — an awakened treasure that possesses memories of its past incarnation as an autonomous weapon platform.

With another chance at life — one of them now a cursed, demonic sword, and the other an exiled cultivator seeking revenge — will they be able to reach the pinnacle this time and become immortal?

What to expect:

- Mature, semi-realistic storytelling with no repeating arcs.
- Fast cultivation with increasing LitRPG elements as the story progresses.
- An MC that is more tactical and strategic than outright just powerful.

What not to expect:

- MC that becomes human.
- AI that acts and talks like a GPS.
- Rampant smut or romance. <<less

I'm new to this kind of thing, so any advice or criticism would be welcome. (Especially grammar, I can get most words right, but I can't hear where to put ',' or how to separate sentences nicely.)

I have searched the web for any image that could properly portray our protagonist while keeping it free. I have found a very nice picture that was close to what I was going for, but it IS AI-generated and I have no idea how copyright works. I do not own that image, I have simply searched for a free picture describing her features and found this... if you are the owner of this picture, please write me a message and I will take it down as soon as possible. (The Image is temporary and I will commission an artist later for a more accurate depiction~)

Disclaimers:
I'm not a native English speaker so expect to cringe a lot.
This story will mostly focus on fights, Evolutions, bloodlines, etc.
There will be romance and snu-snu, but don't expect it any time soon. (He is a beast after all. And I still don't know how to tackle Yuri stuff...)
Don't expect the protagonist to drag his modern knowledge into this world, it will stay somewhat classic Xianxia.
This is/will be a slow story! If you are looking for constant action, you are in the wrong place. There will be action, but not as much as action-only focused stories.
1st. Edit: This story's Main Romance is Yuri only, other characters will get their romance in the background, but won't be much touched upon.
2nd. Edit: Until chapter 10 it will be very chaotic when it comes to the gender bender, after the 10th chapter it's solid, I didn't know how to do this properly since I'm not quite that skilled to make it more appealing.
(Insert something that I forgot, since whenever you start something there is always something you have forgotten...)

Here, he faces a series of trials set by a powerful entity, bequeathing upon him a unique inheritance.

"May the dice roll in your favor."

**Author's Notes:**

- I as the author have employed multiple pen names throughout my journey, including Chaos_Guide, TS Greed, and Slumbering Dragon.

- This is a fantasy tale with a morally complex protagonist who does not shy away from embracing the darker aspects of his character.

- The story commences in a world devoid of fantasy elements, gradually ascending through the ranks of worlds as the expansive universe unravels.

- The narrative truly takes off with the onset of Volume 2, where the first fantasy world unfolds in all its grandeur.

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.

His wishes are finally answered by a mysterious cat and he finds himself in a new universe.

But to have that kind of life, he would have to have the necessary strength and wits to trample everything under his feet in the Fan Universe.

With his given transmigration perk, watch him topple the balance of Fan Universe and the Primal Chaos Plane as his name reverberates throughout the ages.

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

Wang Jun, the 20 year old young man, had to work his bones and squeeze every last drop of his sweat just to provide the food on the table on a daily basis. One day, a Game Tester ad popped up in his email, offering 100.000 Yuan up front, and directly wired to the bank account of his choice.

Intrigued by the ad, Wang Jun did some research on the company that issued the ad, Seven Worlds. Ltd. Everything seems legit, he signed the contracts, he got the money and soon he was enrolled in the program along with other Testers from around the world.

Little did he know, the game was actually a world in multiverse, made by the Goddess of Joys and Happiness, who is very fond of Earthling's Cultures, especially anything regarding Cultivation and Taoism. Novels, Comics, Movies, you name it.

In a world where death is the inevitable price for the privilege of life, and the End looms as the universal fate for all existence, one being defies the natural order. In "The Unliving Sage," Dante, pursued by an imminent threat, inadvertently stumbles into a realm brimming with magic and wonders beyond imagination.... more>>

Seeking sanctuary from the chaos of his own world, Dante instead finds himself thrust into a realm where tranquility is but a fleeting dream, overshadowed by pervasive corruption. Determined to safeguard the fragile peace he finds, Dante must confront a myriad of malevolent adversaries — from the sinister machinations of a shadowy ministry to the bloodthirsty creatures that prowl the darkness, and even formidable cosmic entities that defy comprehension.

Yet, amidst this external conflict, Dante's greatest battle unfolds within himself. As the vessel of the entity known as END, the contradiction of existence itself, Dante grapples with inner turmoil and confronts his deepest fears. He comes to realize that the greatest threat to his newfound haven may originate from within his own being.

As Dante navigates through trials and tribulations, facing the forces that seek to engulf the realm in darkness, he must also confront the daunting task of protecting not only his loved ones but also himself from the encroaching shadow of his own existence. In "The Unliving Sage," the narrative unravels the gripping tale of a hero facing both external and internal adversaries, as he strives to secure not only the world around him but also the very essence of his own soul. <<less
