Han Nao, the youngest son of an illustrious general, always wanted to be a hero. He wants to move through the skies on a flying sword, unleashing blows and techniques on villains and rescuing beauties. Alas, due to his poor health which prevented him from cultivating qi, he only had to seek solace in good plentiful food and contemplative crystals showing the adventures of real heroes. Han hoped that someday he would find a great mentor who could appreciate his talent, transform him from a scum and disgrace of the clan into a hero of legends. Except he hadn't heard that his wishes were to be feared. Because they sometimes come true, and sometimes much... more>> better than one could imagine. But even the most unbearable suffering is only a temporary hardship!

*****

Su Licheng, the Crown Prince of the Su Empire, lives in a place that is difficult to reach. It has been seven years since anyone has seen Su Licheng. Thus, everyone calls him the Shadow Prince.

But is it the only reason to call him the Shadow Prince?

The Emperor, Su Zhenji, wants to bring Su Licheng back to the capital but has always failed in his attempts.

However, when one day the Princess of the neighboring kingdom, Yu Xiana, comes to the Emperor for his help in the great war, he offers his help to Yu Xiana on the condition that she will bring his son back to the capital.

Carrying a sword in her hand Yu Xiana entered the shadow city to defeat the five martial warriors before finally meeting Su Licheng.

~~~~~~~

"This marriage will not happen today," Su Licheng's voice roared as he ground the sword on the wooden floor, thus fearing everyone in the marriage hall.

Yu Xiana, who was in her bridal attire, moved her veil away. "Prince Licheng isn't supposed to do this on my wedding day," she stated.

"Did you forget your promise to me, Xiana?" Su Licheng arched his eyebrow and took slow steps toward her.

Yu Xiana frowned as he halted before her.

The next second, he pulled her up by her waist, shocking everyone in the bridal hall.

"You need to serve me all your life, Xiana," Su Licheng said while smirking.

~~~~~~~

The story has a rebirth plot. Su Licheng and Yu Xiana, the story's main protagonists, are connected by their past lives.

The long night shrouds the world, and dawn is delayed.... more>>

Evil descends upon the earth, bringing suffering to all living beings.

He roams in the long night, lingering on the edge of the blade, wavering between the sky and hell.

He ignites the fire of the star soul.

Since the night is long, then I shall be the sovereign of the night.

'I advance.'... more>>

That was the fundamental truth that Xiao Lee's cultivation was built upon. Never stopping and always cultivating was what made him the youngest Great Lord in history.

Yet it was not without sacrifice.

Friends who will not advance further have to be left behind. The strong rule, after all.

And then he ascended.

In a heaven that is beyond his wildest imagination; with wonderful technology and an impossible civilisation, maybe, in this new world where strength isn't everything, perhaps he can finally forge lasting friendships.

A tale of friendship, identity, and a young man who is determined to become an unparalleled (influencer) cultivator.

What to expect:

MC is at the peak of his world when the story starts but is at the bottom of the new world.

Ambitious and driven MC who doesn't want to leave his friends behind again.

Character growth both for the MC and the side characters.

Vast world with ridiculous power scaling.

No harem or romance.

Progression and cultivation! <<less

It was time to found a new sect. One based on the values of honor and equality over senseless violence and discrimination. A sect where all, from the mortal farmer’s son to a sect elder's daughter, were held accountable to the same rules.

Book 1 - JiangXi (complete)

Molam longs to return home after successfully stealing from the Empire. But the enigmatic Oracle dangles it just out of reach, assigning him another task: to steal wood from the sacred World Tree from the Empire.

The task sends Molam to an Empire city on the brink of collapse, its inhabitants desperate to survive the impending Winter's Sorrow. United with a group of allies handpicked by the Oracle, Molam realizes he is the Oracle's last piece in a decades-long plan to thwart the Empire's relentless ambition to reach Heaven.

Entering the fray comes with lurking enemies, mistrust among allies, and lethal scrutiny from all sides. Continually at risk of having his lack of aura exposed, Molam relies on his wits to navigate powerful individuals with misdirection and a facade of powers. To obtain the group's help and trust, he must balance his new responsibilities against his deeper, more personal goals.

There is no synopsis for Book 2 going forward to avoid spoilers.

"I hurt, human children."
"I can take it from ye, if ye want."
"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.

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.

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.
