Time travel was the easy part. The plan was simple: I would reshape history, form an empire, and conquer the world with my modern knowledge.... more>>

But how was I supposed to know that the past would not conform to science? Ghosts walk the earth, martial artists stride through the air, and giant beasts the size of buildings stalk the land.

Before I knew it, some fickle monk trapped me in a beast-infested mountain until I "accumulate enough merit and wisdom," whatever that means. All I know is that when I'm not performing a good deed, the mountain becomes a terrifying nightmare... and I can't seem to leave.

Is my knowledge enough to survive this realm of immortals?

And then there’s me—the unfortunate soul stuck in the body of a rich young master, surrounded by silk sheets, one very traumatized girl with vengeance in her eyes, and a system that says I’ve got a 99.98% chance of a future death. 

Literally.

Armed with a shady interface, a migraine, and the overwhelming desire not to die horribly, I have to dodge revenge plots, redeem this young master legacy, and somehow survive in a world where swords fly, beasts talk, and making eye contact with the wrong girl gets you struck by heavenly lightning.

Simple enough—until I found out his own grandfather wanted him crippled.

And just when I thought I’d survived the worst of it—bam. Exile. Mortal. Rock bottom. Cultivation Error 404.
No spirit roots, no support, and a karmic backlog longer than a sect elder’s beard.

The heavens played with Xiao Tian's fate once.
And when I run into a certain suspiciously wise old janitor?
Let’s just say fate’s got a new player on the board.

I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t want this.
But now that I’ve been handed the cultivation equivalent of a cosmic middle finger?
I’m climbing back up. Tooth, nail, and plot armor.

Davey Lionheart—the last Descendant of the once strongest knight family, was betrayed by everyone he deemed his own. ... more>>

His lover. His people. Even the Goddess he served. The moment he lost his powers, they turned their backs

At the age of 23, he met his end with a pathetic yet ruthless death.

But the world hadn't given up on him, as a choice was given to Davey.

[Davey Lionheart, The Karma has decided that you deserve a second chance, as you've been nothing but good for the world since your birth.]

[• Ascend as a Divinity. Or,]

[• Embrace the path of a Demon.]

Without hesitation, Davey chose the latter choice.

Although, to his surprise, he woke up in a completely new world—ruled by a new energy called "Qi"—where power and immortality meant everything.

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.

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.

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>>

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

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

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.

Mandatory Quest: Beat up that young maste-

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.
