I got reborn as a demonic cultivator… in a righteous sect.... more>>

As a sect elder, I must dodge being killed due to the decisions of this body’s previous owner, navigate a life full of political minefields, and maybe even teach some arrogant young masters a lesson—all while desperately hoping this body’s dangerous secrets don’t catch up with me.

After all, not everyone is content to let go of old grievances… But hey, at least I’m good with formations—and I can just throw them at problems.

This story was inspired by [A Sect Elder’s Journey]. I’m a huge fan of the novel—and given that it went on hiatus, I just couldn’t stop myself from writing something similar to satiate my hunger (I tried resisting, mind you). Anyhow, please do not compare this stone to that diamond, as I’m writing this merely for some good old fun. Regardless, I will try my best, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I have fun making it! <<less

* This is a new and improved version of the original Son of the Spirit Beast. It will start from the beginning until the end, so no more hiatus until is finished. *... more>>

Rainbow Island, one of the several islands in this world governed by martial artists, is the stage of an incredible event. A newborn infant, Hei, is saved from a tragic ending and raised by a spirit beast spider.

However, things quickly fall out of place as he meets an old enemy who had apparently 'reformed' and became a good person after their last encounter including the crown prince of the kingdom itself.

This is ignoring the Ascenders in the shadows...! What are their goals and how is he related to them?

What is to happen in this tale of Hidden Dragons and ACTUAL Dragons? Guess it's all in Alex's hands... <<less

It may be boring at the start but after chapter eight it gets more interesting.

What to expect from the Mc:

1. Cautious and Ruthless Mc

2. Cultivation addict

3. Late romance

4. Schemes

5. Clan building

6. Academy

Notes:

'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

In a bizarre twist of fate, Kiryu Ryuto finds himself not just inside a dating simulator world but cast in the unlikely role of its main antagonist. His task? Kidnap the game's heroine, a venture that propels him straight into the perilous waters of Tokyo Bay, courtesy of the heroine's overzealous bodyguards. Ryuto's new reality dawns with a splash – literally – as he teeters on the brink of becoming fish food.... more>>

Confused and grappling with his sudden transition into this game world, Ryuto must navigate the murky waters of villainy, all while questioning the very essence of the world he's been thrust into. Is this realm of romance and rivalry truly what it seems, or is there a darker undercurrent beneath its pixelated surface?

"The world is hot and cold; people’s hearts are sinister, but only the most beautiful of girls can make people feel warmth.” So muses Ryuto, the accidental Master of Death, as he embarks on his unexpected journey. Tasked with the dubious job of kidnapping the heroine, he finds himself caught in a web of intrigue, danger, and unexpected alliances.

As the line between friend and foe blurs, Ryuto discovers that his role as the antagonist may just be the key to uncovering the true nature of the world around him. With the threat of being fish feed hanging over his head, Ryuto's adventure is more than just a quest for survival – it's a search for warmth in a world that seems determined to see him sink or swim. <<less

Do people change easily? Adam Graham didn’t think that was true. He had wore a mask all his life, and knew that much was enough. There was no hopes or dreams for him to fulfil. Only the empty life of an immortal otherworlder.... more>>

Things took a change for the worst when his otherworldly tenants brought their problems with them. Paying for gas and electricity would be the least of their worries. He was not getting paid enough to deal with their circumstances!

Would these fated meetings change the poor man?

Or will he continue his unhealthy lifestyle? <<less

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.

Thousands of violent criminals and monsters in a prison, but only one shard to make them invincible.... more>>

Roid is a limp gladiator who fought life and death battles in the pits for freedom. But when he at last pulled off a hundred-battle winning streak, instead of being freed like promised, he was thrown into Raventor.

Raventor was once a grand prison that chained and caged godly beings. But after the battle of the mighty beings for a shard, it became a ruin that bigwigs of Moors used to throw in the people they never wanted to see again.

Roid would do anything for freedom. Raventor, being a prison, would never let anybody escape.

There are monsters and mythical creatures here in the prison along with violent criminals with means far outstripped Roid. There are also legacies of the fallen gods here. Most of all, the shard is still here, waiting for the taking.

Join Roid in his swashbuckling adventure as he fights against all the odds for freedom. <<less

Rein, on the cusp on adulthood, found his family and town destroyed by forces beyond his understanding. Thus, the destiny within his heart called to him to seek out the cause of his calamity. 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

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.

To seek strength is a human instinct. It is birthed by the urge to satisfy human nature. The urge to abuse this strength, too, is in the nature of all humans, suppressed barely by ideals in the form of spiritual mentorship.... more>>

Accordingly, when the road to attaining strength is opened for a meager share of a population, billions must suffer.

For the human civilization of planet Triton, this was a century of self-discovery. For the common man, this was an era of envy. And for the mages blessed by the architects of human civilization, this was a stage to pursue unprecedented glory and power.

It has been 97 years since the humans of planet Triton became conscious of their origin, a mystery spanning beyond their planet, spanning beyond many millennia, waiting to be uncovered in the treacherous sea of stars. The architects have resurfaced, all twelve of them, from the dust left in history by epics and myths.
Beyond the common man's vision, the architects orchestrate their own plans. Beyond the architects' plans lie their common purpose, their hopes and dreams for the all races, every form of life, and all that lies beyond life.

And tonight, a miracle beyond it all has been sparked; a miracle...that may not bring forth fortune, but the shadow of an erased truth; a miracle birthed by brutality and vengeful hunger.
And among all mentors of human instinct, vengeance presents to you your most magnificent self, and to mankind your most abominable form. <<less

If there was one person Luo Xue found the most detestable, it would be the all-mighty, tenacious yet annoyingly beautiful, one and only villain called Xie Junmo!... more>>

In her previous life, to get the treasures she desired; even as a "cannon fodder", Luo Xue trained to be overwhelmingly more powerful than everyone else using all sorts of means to plunder the protagonist's opportunities.

Throughout her long and arduous life, never once was she able to snatch a single treasure from the protagonist, always one step behind. By the end, Luo Xue had discovered that Xie Junmo, the villain, had also been intercepting her attempts at obtaining treasures!

How hateful!

What’s up with him competing over the treasures she wanted? Wasn’t he a “villain” whose role was to be competing against the “protagonist” too? Then why would he team up with the “protagonist”?

When Luo Xue came to her senses, she was clasping something with her hands. As she glanced down, she saw a cold, thin silver blade grasped within her hands. It was the weapon she tried to prevent the protagonist from obtaining, the one that started it all.

Although shocked, Luo Xue was delighted to have regressed to this point of time. She looked forward to the day she would take in the little protagonist, forcing him to hand over his treasures WILLINGLY!

Unlike her previous life, she was confident she would get what she wanted from him this time! There will be no villain to stop her now!

Unbeknownst to her, this decision was one that would change her entire life.

“Master, I’ll give you everything, everything you ever wanted, including me.”

Having been a slave for most of her life, Vell was resigned to death when her Master orders her to draw away a powerful monster to save his life. Yet, just when she thought death had come, she was 'saved' by an old mysterious man.... more>>

This however, was more of a case of "out of the frying pan and into the fire" as it was clear that her savior was a man with less than honorable intentions. Thankfully, they had more use for Vell alive than dead, and were even kind enough to let her pursue her own objectives.
With the memory of a past life recently awakened, Vell knew she needed to work towards fufilling the requests of the Gods that had sent her here, but she also had some 'debts' to settle with her previous owners, hoping to repay all their 'care' and 'attention' she received at their hands.

In order to achieve her goals, Vell must become strong, strong enough that the rules can be ignored and this is only a single step in her journey.

This is a spiritual successor of my unfinished work, A Sinner's Chance. Many major changes have been made, especially to the world and its mechanics.
Release schedule will probably be monthly since I don't have much time to write, but that may change in the future. <<less

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.

Su Jing transmigrated into a cultivation story.... more>>

Now, you might think that's all well and good, but let's not forget one crucial detail: Su Jing was not the star of this story, not by a long shot. The spotlight belonged to someone else, a girl who's got it all—talent, luck, power, and even a beautiful man who's madly in love with her.

And Su Jing? She's just trying not to get killed, which is no small feat in a realm where folks trained endlessly to harness their inner qi and do supernatural things like fly on swords, shoot fireballs, and debate the meaning of life while suspended upside-down on mountaintops.

As Su Jing navigates through this over-the-top story, she discovers that her mere presence is throwing everything off balance. She's not the chosen one, and she's definitely not here to save the day. But somehow, the story is changing, and Su Jing isn't even lifting a finger.

Let's just say her days of boring, ordinary existence were officially over.

Disclaimer: English is not my first language!

Liu Hong never thought he would get transmigrated! Excited to find himself in the world of his favorite cultivation MMORPG which he became stagnant water for, Liu Hong is surprised to find that he is feared and ostracized, and his cultivation lacks progression. What's going on? All of his saved characters were perfect to the max?... more>>

Liu Hong: ??? Was the cultivation this slow in the game? Surely my Sublime Chaos meridians would speed it up a bit.

Liu Hong: The Lin Family Patriarch seems to dislike me, even calling me a demon. How can this be? All of my characters have a preset 4+ affinity factor with him, even at the start. Nobody seems to want to call me by my name either??

???: What a good looking foreigner! It's unfortunate the colors of their hair and eyes are so frivolous.

Liu Hong: ?? Foreigner??? Frivolous?? What do you mean?

Liu Hong: (Takes out a mirror and spits blood) Ah !@&**@!!! It's my joke file!!!

------

It was a joke. Choosing such a busted character was really a joke. The blonde hair, the blue eyes, the strange, foreign and unfavorable background that no one knew the details of; even in the 10 year old game forum with stagnant water like him. It was all to get a few extra cutscenes and higher NPC aggression factor in Liu Hong's much-loved shitty cultivation MMORPG game. A test try.

Liu Hong tried it, raged about the difficulty, and abandoned the save file at only Level 3. 3 years of age. It stayed, untouched in his vault of dozens upon dozens of perfected characters for a whole year. One afternoon, when he was extremely drunk, Liu Hong died from a hit and run, only to find himself in his favorite xianxia MMORPG world.

He never thought that he would be so unlucky as to reincarnate into this very same save file! <<less

This series contains, "the strongest of all times." fanfiction start from the that series end.

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.
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... more>> 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.
