[A trans fantasy/slow cultivation story with a lot of romance and a dash of smut.] Felix has been cursed by a strange dark liquid, and unfortunately, it’s his own fault. Now he has to find a cure, reveal the dark plot of the newly arrived cursed sorceress, and save the Empire, all before his soul becomes corrupted beyond repair. Luckily, he’s read enough daring adventures that he’s certain the guiding hand of destiny will lead him to victory… Probably. Hopefully before the horns grow in and his body changes into something unrecognizable. First, though, he’s gotta deal with the twists of fate that lead him into being dressed as a girl, and all the feelings... more>> swirling within him that it brings boiling to the surface. Feelings she has long been trying to forget.

[This story contains sexual content and is meant only for those who are 18 and older.

This story is my own personal spin on the cultivation fantasy genre (for those who know what that means,) with a trans twist! It's also a cute and somewhat smutty lesbian romance story that starts out a bit slowly but eventually picks up. As a forewarning, this is a trans story, and as mentioned, it does have sexual content. If that's not something you're comfortable with, this story may not be for you. Content Warnings will be posted at the beginning of chapters.

I've been having a ton of fun writing this so far, and I hope you enjoy reading it!] <<less

Yun Ling is a supreme genius born in a powerful clan in a massive empire. It is said that a genius of his caliber is only born once every ten thousand years. Aside from his exceptional talent, his father is none other than the clan master and the general of the empire which is why very few dared to offend him or challenge him.

Everything had always been smooth sailing for Yun Ling however, never did he expect that upon his return to the empire from his journey would he discover that he apparently has a daughter waiting for him at home. <<less

Hey guys, author here.

Current release rate: 3 chapters/week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8 AM EST)

Synopsis of the story is pretty straightforward from the tags. The start is very slow as I wanted to focus on world/character building and I can't really do anything about that. So if you expect MC to easily slap people and become OP in a couple chapters while having every woman he meets spread her legs, then sorry, that's not going to happen and this isn't your cup of tea.

Although I'm an English native, feel free to put any errors you notice in the comments.

Hope you enjoy~

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.

The main character will be somewhat close to the character of Vincent from the "Collateral" movie with Tom Cruise as the main lead. In looks and lack of empathy.

(He would also have the same name as Vincent after transmigration)

David Strom is an orphan who goes through a lot of hardships in his life. His parents died in a plane crash when he was a child. Bullying at school. Hard college time... He studied a lot of different martial disciplines. He is tall and, handsome, with long white hair and somewhat crimson eyes.

But he overcame that all.

The most important person for him was his aunt. A beautiful and caring woman in her thirties.

One day on his way back home, his life changed... <<less

'The Secret World Online' is a world of cultivation, magic, kingdom building, ancient legacies, ancient powerful beasts and other strange concepts. A virtual world where a system exists to guide you through the vague prompts and skip most of the boring things. Everyone wants access to this new VRMMO. ... more>>

Going into beta phase, Jack Hunt strangely receives an invite from an old friend. Not knowing what he’s doing, he gets absorbed in the virtual world as he founds his own village, meets new people and kills mystical beasts. Slowly he unravels the truth about this so-called ‘virtual world’...

This is a story that I'm working on after getting inspiration from reading 'The Lords Empire' in particular, then various other Wuxia/Cultivation novels I have read previously.

This will be a novel that takes quite some time to get anywhere, meandering in a way with little direction and, I'll state this now as some people have commented on it, will not feature sex.
Sex will be present eventually, but there's a reason I do not have it tagged with smut/adult/sexual content. (Lord's Empire didn't have any until chapter 500ish)

My first proper attempt at writing a long story and learning/feeling as I go so expect a rough story, not high in quality nor much having editing, so if you can read it thank you!

Once upon a time, there lived two great and mighty spirits on the mountain. One loved humans, the other hated them. When their differences could not be reconciled, they came to blows, and the human loving spirit was chased out.... more>>

Now there is only one spirit on the mountain. He sits on the peaks, looking down on those below him. Disaster and death is his reputation, and it is well earned. He is the Fairy Emperor, the King, and no one dares disobeys him.

But he is empty on the inside.

For he is alone.

When anger and jealousy take everything, only love can create something new. This is a story of hope, redemption, and second chances.

“I guess this is the end of my lifespan? How pathetic.”... more>>

An infamous Immortal Emperor from Black Heaven Realm was at the end of his lifespan as he shut his old and wrinkled eyelids, awaiting his impending death with a hint of regret.

However, when he was on his last breath– the serenity was disrupted by a simple-looking pebble that started glowing intensely out of nowhere as it entered his dantian and he lost consciousness.

After what seemed like forever, he finally woke up and to his amazement– he discovered that his body had recovered to the state of his once youthful self with his cultivation only regressing by a little, while ending up in a foreign world filled with modern technology– Earth.

He realized that a mysterious robotic voice had suddenly established its presence in his mind unknowingly, issuing him missions and rewards that would help and guide him in a certain direction.

Enjoying his new life with a carefree attitude in a new world, running a teahouse with the help of the Celestial Teahouse System– Li Qu will slowly unravel the mysteries behind the pebble and the reason for his transmigration. Was he the only one to do so? Or was there a deeper meaning behind all of this?

In which a well-intentioned Earthling with all the idealism of a Disney princess decides to bring some much-needed civility to the cutthroat world of cultivation... with social media.... more>>

Long Synopsis: “Choose wisely, for choice is what makes the Cultivator.”

That was the one true maxim of this world where the law of the jungle reigned supreme. Where the strong flayed the weak to take what they desired. Where the heavens weaved stories on behalf of their favoured children, using all else as mere pawns for their means. For aeons unchanged did the cultivation world remain, with traditions and taboos set in stone.

But that’s ancient history.

The flickering screen showed the Red Heavens Supreme Patriarch live-streaming his Dao of the Sigma Tyrant Podcast, the Nine-tailed Celestial Vixen kickstarting the Nine-by-ninth-wave Feminism, and the Trans-cended Cisgolden Buddha hustling his Self-help pyramid scheme to his untold number of followers.

Even the Foreign Gods and Immortal Devils came down to lurk beneath the dark web 24/7, illegally trading pirated video-game mods and contraband mp4 files for the newest fad Crypto-spirit stone.

Finally, deciding enough was enough, the mortals rose up, armed in all-caps, and cancelled every cultivator online for even the slightest microaggression, triggering the conservative heavens to bend the knee, or be demonetised.

When he was but a mortal, Yung—previously Jung—a soul adrift from a far gentler world- had merely asked this innocent question: “Is such cruelty truly necessary?”

“No!” He judged; his modern sensibilities would not allow it. In a world where he could cultivate to be anything, he chose to be kind. Thus, standing upon the shoulders of all the great thinkers of Earth, and with the help of his rich foxy sweetheart, he had set out with a dream to make the heavens merciful.

But alas, lady fate was fickle after all.

Yung turned the television off with a confused, ashamed, and profoundly remorseful heart.

He had achieved his dreams. But at what cost?

Short synopsis- A seemingly random guy discovers that he has been living in a xianxia world for quite a while now the day he joins a sect and recovers his memories. After fumbling around a bit like an idiot due to his inability to fit in, he starts going crazy and rationalizes everything to be a part of a bad xianxia story.

What to expect from the story : An MC who will make mistakes and learn from them continuously, slowly becoming a shady scammer. Villains who have serious life goals and grand motives instead of just being an evil asshat. LOTS of morally grey characters instead of general good and bad. Side characters who actually matter and can make an impact to the story without the MC's intervention. Intergalactic Conspiracies. Slowly evolving society instead of generic stagnant ones. Cultivators who actually have an aim to accomplish other than just wanting to be the top dog. A cultivation system where strength isn't the main theme. From ancient xianxia to futuristic sci-fi setting. No harem. <<less
