Yasenia is a child born different from the rest, her mother, Tatyana, used an ancient technique she found to absorb the world's energy to get pregnant instead of having regular intercourse. Her objective was to create a lover for herself since the endless years of solitude and all the heartbreaks covered her heart with eternal ice.
While pregnant, a strange soul seems to try to seize the body of her child to be reborn; a shame that Tatyana is someone not to be messed with.
In her rage, she destroys the sense of self and memories, leaving only a husk of the soul, and uses it to nourish Yasenia.
What Tatyana didn't know at that... more>> time was that this would change Yasenia in ways she never expected.

On the surface, Xi Tianyi was the only son of Sword Empress Xi of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, the number one expert in the Huang Realm. His birth was noble, his status exalted. But the truth was that Xi Tianyi was actually a reincarnated man from a world known as Earth.... more>>

On Earth, he was no one special, but with his new life, Xi Tianyi aims to reign invincible: past, present, and future. Among his goals was to travel back to Earth and reunite with his family.

However, as Xi Tianyi proceeds further on his Immortal path, he discovers that rather than the protagonist, why does he seem more like the cannon fodder villain?

Liu Feng wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens, surpassed all limits, and had jade-skinned beauties clamoring around him. He wanted to fight anyone who got in his way, and shatter the arrogance of those young masters!... more>>

Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I'm stuck here.

Jade-like beauties? No thanks, I have an awesome magical energy to study.

Young masters? Life and death battles? No, I would rather read some books on cultivation, and master some techniques that clearly don't obey the laws of physics.

There is a junior who has trash talent but suddenly started advancing by leaps and bounds? And he seems to be favored by the heavens themselves? Yeah, that has nothing to do with me.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the pinnacle of a Xianxia Cultivation Story appears in the middle of a post-apocalyptic system and tower climbing setting, without having lost her powers, unrestrained, and invincible?... more>>

Murim, a world of Martial Arts, Cultivation, Brutal Violence, Bloodshed, Vengeance, and where Might Makes Right.

Bing Xue spent eleven thousand years in such a world, ascending to become the pinnacle after countless hardships, blood, tears, and sacrificing her own humanity in the process.

However, she was incapable of ascending into the Immemorial Primordial Void Realm; incapable of escaping the Heavenly Will's influence, she gambled it all on a single decision, escaping into the Outer Cosmos with her last remaining energies.

Despite thinking her long journey was coming to an end, a black hole teleports her back to Earth out of nowhere! However, things on her home planet are much different than before.

The Tower now exists, connecting Earth with countless other worlds. Monsters come out of Dimensional Gates, threatening humanity, and awakened people named Players climb the Tower in hopes of saving humanity from destruction.

After learning that her mother and her sister are still alive, Bing Xue will use the overwhelming and supreme might she has cultivated for eleven thousand years to destroy the tower, slay the gods that govern it, and save Earth from its untimely demise.

The System? She will fold it and make a fashionable scarf with it!

The Administrators? They might become her new pets.

The Monsters? Nothing but ants that die immediately by merely touching her Immortal Aura.

The Hunters? If they behave, she might make them her disciples and teach them to cultivate the Heavenly Dao, so they don’t rely too much on the System.

The Hostile Players? Just flies she’ll slap to death with a gentle wave of her hands.

And the Gods? Merely aperitives for her ever-growing Divinity!

What to expect:
-OP Returnee from a Xianxia World, she doesn't lose any of her powers. Expect little to no stakes, just awesome showcases of power and a main character that constantly breaks all rules established.
-An active main character which will be the main focus and point of view. I dislike passive main characters and I won't give focus to random side characters for dozens of chapters like other OP MC stories do. But there will still be a big cast of colorful characters that will give life to the world, or worlds.
-She will be a prideful, arrogant, and ruthless cultivator at the beginning, and will slowly mellow down once she gets used to how Earth society works. However, she takes pride on her own strength and her acomplishments. Though, her love for the people important to her is boundless.
-Despite being so strong, she still desires to grow stronger. Our main character will continue cultivating and using the new powers she finds to her advantage. Basic LitRPG Progression combined with Cultivation of the Heavenly Dao and all of that.
-Lots of God Slaying.
-Ultimately, I am writing this story for my own amusement and fun, so please don't feel offended if something happens that you dislike. I am not writing this story for anybody or for any audience.
-Chapters almost every day.

I had finally done it—achieved the ultimate Paladin build. Maxed stats, impenetrable armor, and so many resistances that death itself had given up on me.... more>> I was an unkillable tank, an indomitable force. Nothing could stop me.
And then my PC exploded.
I died.
Irony, thou art a cruel mistress.
But instead of the afterlife, I woke up as my Paladin character… in the wrong freaking genre. Instead of castles and dungeons, there were people flying around on swords, shooting qi beams like fantasy laser guns.
“This is definitely the wrong genre,” I muttered, watching a pompous young master sneer at me.
“Kowtow, kiss my foot, and beg for forgiveness!” he declared.
I looked at my imaginary maxed-out health bar, then at his flimsy silk robes.
Oh, this was going to be fun. <<less

Dyne Valiant is a frustrated gamer.
But as one of the best special ops agents that the world has, his superiors and the government itself ensured that he won’t be able to play video games because of his addictive tendencies. And so he lived and fought without ever being able to play beyond the nostalgic PS-One games.
Fate was cruel as he finally meets his end after exacting revenge on those who killed his family. But on his dying moments, another dying man with strange magical powers appears.... more>>

But unlike Dyne, justice was not served for this man. He then offers Dyne a chance to satisfy the greatest regret of his life… To play the videogames he loved back when he was a kid. Using the enigmatic god-tiered artifact, the Imaginarium Bond, Dyne is revived and sent to the world of cultivators where he must reach for the peak and challenge the gods of that world.

And while the path of Immortality and a second life was a great gift, Dyne's joy was elsewhere.
Within the Imaginarium Bond were three worlds that the mysterious man created with the last of his powers. These worlds were based on three PS-One classic games and are designed to help Dyne in his Path of Cultivation.

Soon, Dyne will reach the Cultivation world and fight the wicked Kings, Saints, Devils, and Gods that now control it.

Soon, Dyne will awaken the Genesis Trees of Legaia.

Soon he will conquer the many nations with his Rune Knights in the continent of Forsena.

Soon he will be reborn as an Endless to battle gods and dragons and slay the founding Emperor of the Fou Empire.

Dyne was deprived of gaming all his life. But now his life depends on his gaming. Witness the tales of Dyne Valiant in his adventure as a Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World.

When Fio found a broken gateway back to her home world, the last thing she expected was to become one herself.... more>>

Unfortunately, she is now faced by the keepers of the gates. Creatures that seemed so elusive and uncaring before, and now want to tear the gateway from her soul, taking its power for themselves.

But Fio can't give up either of the worlds she lives in. Both hold her families and friends, and if that means she has to go through the keepers to hold onto her freedom, so be it.

She's always worked well under pressure.

As part of the ambitious Vanguard 3 Program, a space shuttle embarks on a mission to Mars, carrying within it a lander and a state-of-the-art humanoid robot. Its purpose is clear: prepare Mars for human habitation, constructing bases, infrastructure, and vital facilities. Yet, as the shuttle makes its journey between Earth and Mars, it inexplicably vanishes, leaving mission control and the world's scientists baffled.... more>>

Emerging from a void-crack in the sky of an alien world, the lost shuttle releases its lander, which makes a successful descent onto this strange planet. As the lander's doors open and the robot initiates its systems, it's met not with the red sands of Mars, but an enigmatic realm where spiritual energies pulse and cultivators wield power beyond any machine's comprehension.

Lost and far from its intended destination, the robot must navigate a world of martial arts, mythical creatures, powerful sects and immortals. With its advanced AI and unique technological adaptations, the robot begins to bridge the vast chasm between the pinnacle of human innovation and the profound depths of the Dao.

One moment, Lex was an ordinary man. The next, he became a god.... more>>

After a fatal accident during a cataclysmic earthquake, Lex awakens not to an afterlife, but to an unfathomable destiny: he is now the Universal Will, the living consciousness of a newborn universe. With dominion over creation itself, he can shape galaxies, forge realms of immortality, and bend the laws of existence to his will.

But absolute power comes with harrowing trials. As Lex struggles to balance his fading humanity with the cold logic of cosmic stewardship, he draws the attention of primordial entities—ancient horrors that consume universes like his own.

To survive, he must outwit eldritch abominations, navigate the treachery of his own divine creations, and confront the most dangerous force of all: the loneliness of godhood.

Expect a tale filled with breathtaking cosmic transformations, epic creations, and high-stakes battles. Dive deep into a vast and intricate cosmology where our overpowered protagonist not only shapes worlds but also confronts profound questions of self in the grand theater of existence. <<less

Everything in existence sings, the whisper of wind, the pulse of steel, the hum of the unseen.... more>>

Reborn into a world of cultivation, Cai Feiyin awakens with a gift unlike any other, the ability to perceive the oscillations of all things. To him, the world is a song waiting to be understood, shaped, and mastered.

But in a realm where power is forged through blood and will, those who hear too much may uncover truths never meant to be known.

And some songs, once played, can never be silenced.

I plan to write this story to completion, and based on what I have in mind, it will span at least 1,000 chapters. The first 20 to 30 chapters will be a bit slower-paced (more of a slice-of-life) to establish the foundation of his childhood, but once the story picks up, it won’t be slowing down. 

What to expect:

A grand, dark immersive cultivation world with a mix of both eastern and western influence, that is gradually unfolded as the story progress (with eventual mythologies involved)

A calm, intelligent protagonist with the ability to perceive the oscillations around him

A unique cultivation system with my personal blend of Xianxia and eastern fantasy

A weak to strong, to strongest MC

Alchemist MC (with clear progression, involving both pills and artefacts, eventually leading to Runes)

Fully fleshed-out characters, with their own life and dreams

Eventual kingdom-building

"The stars weren’t just stars, they were the eyes of millions, who observed his every move with ancient and indifferent patience.... more>>

Each day was the slow inhalation of something vast and incomprehensible, and each night, its exhalation.

The sun and the moon were not just celestial bodies but the pupils of a giant, watching us in twilight with a smirk. We lived in its carcass!

The land, just its dead skin. The oceans, sweat from its ancient pores. The lava, its blood, still warm beneath the surface.

We walked through the rotting flesh and bones of a forgotten god, and called it Earth..."

So begins his journey as an advancer-- a title given to those who use magic to shape the world to their will.... more>>

Author's note:

I've always been a fan of progression fantasy. However, I do feel disappointed by many of them, with too many characters that vanish into irrelevancy, sometimes arcs that are overly repetitive and a lack of characters ideals. In this story, I aim to instill more character ideals, motivations, and integrate said characters throughout the story, and ensure their interaction with the main character remain relevant to his heart. Perhaps, it's best to say I want the story to have a 'human spirit' that one could feel in old-school wuxia and action/adventure stories. <<less

I mined till the day I died.... more>>

Then I woke up, in another cave, with another pickaxe, in another body. A scrawny one at that.

A miner needs a strong body. First, let’s get some protein.

System Unlocked: Primordial Dr-

No thanks. I’d rather mine.

Mandatory Quest: Beat up that young maste-

I said no. Why would I go fight someone? I can just mine and make an honest living. Oh neat, a blue glowing crystal!

System: …

System Recalibrating… New Quest! Achieve the Blue Collar Physique.

Now that sounds much better.

Courting Death? You’re courting this pickaxe to the face. Cripple myself? Clearly you’ve never worked a 9-5 in a labour job. Kowtow? Try mining for an hour, your body will collapse with your head down and ass up.

It's about digging deep, and cultivating deeper. <<less

Kai Feng was just an ordinary librarian—content with his uneventful life, buried in books and avoiding excitement. That is, until he stumbled upon an ancient manuscript that should not have existed.... more>>

The moment he turned its final page, his world was consumed by light. Frozen in time, caught in a battle between mysterious factions, he could do nothing but watch as powerful cultivators fought over his fate.

Then, he awoke—not in his library, but in an unknown world, face-to-face with a mischievous old master who forced him through years of training. With no choice but to adapt, Kai learned to harness Qi, master deadly techniques, and awaken abilities beyond his imagination.

When he finally returned, three years had passed—but only moments in the real world. Now, powerful sects and unseen forces are moving, their eyes locked onto him.

Thrust into a world of sect wars, betrayals, and ancient secrets, Kai must carve his own path. Unfortunately for the righteous cultivators who stand in his way... he has been chosen as the next leader of the most feared evil sect.

Can an indifferent bookworm truly become the Evil Sect Lord? Or will he redefine what it means to wield power?

Meet Edwin Hawthorne, whose first life saw him as a cultivator on the verge of immortality, and whose second life trapped him in the grind of corporate engineering. Now, in his third life, he finds himself reborn as a magic-less noble son in Falandria. A land where arcane power and ancient traditions reign supreme. Drawing on the fusion of cultivation and technology, he dares to shape a new society that blends the mystical and the modern.... more>>

Amid grand academies and noble houses vying for dominance, Edwin seeks to upend the status quo. His vision of cultivating alongside scientific progress could propel the realm to new heights, or devastate it if it falls into the wrong hands. Yet if he can reclaim the cultivation arts he once lost, and harness the brilliance of his engineering mind, he may well stand at the forefront of an era unlike any this world has seen. The question is whether his dream will save those he loves, or plunge them into greater peril. <<less

For eons, the world had endured 6 different resets—known as 'Calamities'. Each calamity introduced a completely new power system while eradicating the previous one as if it never existed in the first place. ... more>>

In the modern world, a virtual reality game — 'The Seven Calamities' took over the world with its release.

With its intricate and complex worlds that followed a variety of power systems, became a common ground for the whole world.

Kai Evernox was a 17-year-old orphan who struggled to make his living through the ways of Scavenger in the game. He, just like any other player, awaited the next and the final update of the game—The Seventh Calamity.

Just a night before the update, a mysterious old man who claimed to be the creator of the game called in a press conference.

"All that you thought as a mere fantasy, all of it was true. The Seventh Calamity will be the End. And the only one who can stop it from happening is you, my friend."

With that said, the old man perished away into particles of light, leaving the world stunned as system windows popped up in front of all human lives.

The world fell into havoc, while a grin crept onto Kai's face as his memories returned.

Synopsis: Volume Two:... more>>

Huijin raised the boy. Watched him step, hesitant, into the place meant for his older brother.
But the boy is no longer a boy, and Huijin no longer knows how to reach him.

After the haunting at Caodi village, Yin Yue returns to Yuchi Court changed. The old monk Huixin believes a strange talent stirs within him, a power Yin Yue refuses to name.

But there is little time to seek answers in the quiet arts of Sheng. When an honored friend is taken by brigands, tensions with Clan Mao threaten to ignite a war. Yin Yue, ever softer than the world allows, pleads for peace. But peace is brittle in a land so full of ghosts. What awaits in the brigands’ lair is not mere man’s cruelty. When an ancient presence awakens, not all leave the mountain alive.

In the aftermath, wounds fester. Trust fractures. And as whispers spread, a question begins to form:

Was this misfortune, or design?
And who, unseen, is shaping what’s to come?

Synopsis: Volume One:

Grief is a restless ghost. Left untended, it festers. Left unspoken, it haunts.

Yin Yue was never meant to lead Clan Ming. That had been his radiant brother's fate, until the former zongzhu of Ming met his end in disgrace. Now, the weight of the disgraced clan rests on his narrow shoulders, his every step watched by Huijin, the man who raised him and the man who cannot forgive him. Alongside them walks an aging swordmaster, oathbound to a boy he knows he cannot protect.

When a village is stalked by the ghost of a beast, Yin Yue is obliged to intervene. But the land remembers what men forget. Old wounds seep beneath quiet soil, and not all spirits can be banished. As the past sharpens its teeth, Yin Yue must ask himself: is the haunting in the village, or in the people he calls his own? <<less

It didn't take him long to realize that this world was just as rotten as the previous, while another familiar screen popped up in front of his eyes.

Haunted by dreams he can’t fully remember, shackled by a bloodline that is both a blessing and a curse, Jabari is thrust onto a path... more>> of vengeance – one born from tragedy but fuelled by love.
Still, as he grows stronger, as the fire inside him blazes hotter, he begins to realise the truth. The part of him he spent his whole life suppressing was never a weakness. It was never a sin.
It was his Pride!
And now that it had awakened, after years buried beneath hardship and survival, it would rather burn the world down before it bowed to anyone again.
...
For as long as Jabari could remember, it had always been him and Inayah against the world. No family. No safety. No future. Just two starving children clawing their way through the slums of the Umeme Tribe, doing whatever it took to survive. It wasn’t much, but at the very least, they had each other!
Then, Inayah got sick!
At first, Jabari thought it was just another cruel twist of fate – one more reminder that the world didn’t give a damn about them. But then the truth came out. His little sister’s illness wasn’t fate. It wasn’t an accident. Someone did this to her. And worse… it was someone he had once dared to call a friend!
On the receiving end, betrayal was of the cruellest of punishments. It didn’t just hurt – it burned. It carved into the flesh, etched itself into the bones, and branded itself onto the soul. It took something from you that you could almost never get back.
But for the dealer? Betrayal was a gamble. High risk. High reward.
Play your cards right, and you could have everything you ever wanted, and more. Pick the wrong person, though…
At that point, death won’t be a punishment – it’ll be a mercy!
Jabari will save his sister. As for those responsible?
He’ll make them wish they were never born! <<less
