In the city of Leeds, twins Jake and Allen couldn't be more different.

Despite facing harsh struggles at a vulnerable age, Allen's the definition of perfection, resembling the flawlessness and beauty of poems, while Jake struggles with the unfiltered and rasping realities of life.

Born into the world with the thread of life tying them together, Jake and Allen's bond is shattered when they are torn apart at birth. They led exceedingly different lives. Jake was served everything on a silver platter like a grand feast fit for royalty, meanwhile Allen was condemned to the raw and jarring life of poverty.

A gripping tale about love, detest, loss, guilt and an unbreakable bond between life and death.

Would Jake survive? <<less

For three years, Ulan had been trapped in a lightless grotto after being accused of genocide. The former crown prince was beaten, shunned, and shamed for his actions. Yet, three years later, Engel, the man who had been the leading cause to his imprisonment, had come to his rescue.

Ulan wanted to clear his name.
Engel claimed he wanted to help, although his eyes gleamed brightly.

The Tale of Xevia’s Falling Rain was an old folklore tale of a misfortune plagued crown prince and a maniacal Knight from the Xevia’s Special Battalion who battled to stay in the light, only to fall back down to darkness hand in hand with each other by their side.

[ Good morning, Mr. Li YueYing! (*´▽`*) ]

The System was not God. It was the devil.

Stuck in the quagmire of mundanity, without the ability to take their lives into their own hands, perhaps it is a universal desire to give anything to change the situation. When presented with an opportunity to change one's fate, few can keep themselves from reaching out.

But… [Immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing, and any form of power comes with shackles of its own.]

Apollyon was one such being who gave those who wielded it the ability to turn the tide. It was very willing to help any lost soul - his kindness and generosity knowing no bounds.

Its strength extended to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong - none of that mattered.

Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course.

[However, before their destined payment, perhaps they could make something of this fleeting moment.]

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 is very willing to help any lost souls; his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. His help can extend 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

Other... witch things, obviously. ... more>>

Ahem.

In order to be such a witch-like person, she of course spends a significant portion of time attending to her witchly activities. Alone, obviously. She wouldn't have it any other way.

Unfortunately, tragedy inevitably strikes.
With events that only could have been orchestrated by fate itself, Kataria is thrown into the midst of the world's most terrifying place.

Society, home of responsibilities and social interaction.

welcome to my story!

this is a rewritten version of an old story i (tried) making a while ago, called "The Loner Witch and the Troubles of Society", which i had tried to write, and failed, mostly cause i hit mental roadblocks. and writer's block. and other blocks of similar nature. if any such blocks exist. yeah.

oh right, and college. and work. haha

the point is: don't expect a regular schedule, and don't expect this to get completed. i'll try my best to get at least one chapter out per week, but no promises. <<less

How can you say these words to a person who knew only war? Who never knew the warmth of love? How do you fix the broken who sought only rest from such a hellish life?

Emma was one of these unfortunate souls. Cursed by the life she was forced in, lost everything and everyone she held dear to the people she once trusted... and now she is forced to relive the same nightmare all over again. Broken and half mad, Emma abandoned her name and family in hopes to find refuge from the horrors of war... but it's shadow could never leave her alone.

The Silent Heir explores the psychological damage and trauma a person would have if they were reincarnated. Everything up to that point will be remembered. Good and bad memories alike. Unfortunately for this story, the memories that can be count as one are limited. It also tries to tell a story what a ptsd might look like for a soldier after their death should the memory persists. I am in no way experienced anything this level of experiences, but I will do my best in writing them justly.

This is a story about a native cultivator of the Gu world. He lived in the era of/before Spectral Soul Demon Venerable (two venerable eras before the main RI plot). He suffered the rise of the demon venerable, barely able to make his arrangements before his death. He manages to rebirth, but doesn't everything go as planned. The story starts off in an isolated small word (grotto heaven), until the MC can grow and reclaim his former glory, before surpassing it. (long way, he was already rank 8 before) The MC has a pragmatic worldview, aligned with what you would expect from someone living hundreds of years in that kind of hostile environment. He doesn't shy away from immoral acts if it benefits him. The MC bears close resemblance to Fang Yuan in this regard, but his goal is not eternal life.

One of my aims was to showcase the later introduced cultivation rules into the mortal cultivation (dao marks, attainment etc.) and explore novel scenarios within this highly technical cultivation environment. <<less
