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.

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

When everything in existence suffers a change, or welcomes it, and what is to come has finally come - would it beget with its origination the terror, deathliness, tragedy, torment and devastation? Or would it, by any chance, differ from its authentic nature and reality?... more>>

In the deepest of the first starless dark blue night, its point of origin vastly different from the one where everything 'began'... a beautiful hand reaches to taint the most fearsome. Would its origin bring chaos to it all?
--- *** ---

What are the words that hold the utmost power? What are the thoughts that break it all? Which are those who shine brightest, gloom darker, and explode defiantly against reality who prevail?

Any lifeform of the world, no matter how advanced and evolved; all become subject to terror for the very same ones:

One, afraid of the dark. Two, of the violent forces of Nature. Three, of Injustice.

It's not about having the reason on your side; it's not about having the power to demand for subservience and is not whether one is right or not... It's about taking it all with your own hands!

No darkness is gloom without light to obverse it; no light shines brighter without endless emptiness. But it is only one that is; only that has been; only one that can; that will; that KNOWS.

One little grain of sand can evolve into a dried-up sea; one little animal can become a monster; one sole thought can become reality... But can any of them regress, lose it all, suffer nonsensically, and beget — 'all that exists and there is'?

Would they be willing to? ...Can they do it? ...Do they understand?

---
Synopsis for dummies:

Born in a world where every imaginable thing is so advanced even the earth one can step on moves and thinks, met with the pureness of nature at birth, and touched by the unimaginable.

To see the future is for fools. To long for the past is too late. But to see ahead is the only road.

What might be a long and arduous lifelong objective for one can be a simple step for others. What others can't see might be sensed by someone else. And to walk as one never betrays themselves... is glory.

When the bells ring, the heavens change, the world trembles, and a change is called upon... Will there finally be that something that has been missing? What the world had lacked all this long? What... the world deserves? Will a person change that? Will they do it all alone, terribly consumed in coldness and leaving horrors wherever that person walks? Or will there be a returning change that the world has even forgotten for... ever?

Even the smallest of rebellions and uprisings... can be the start of everything.

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.

The Grand Myth Retold.... more>>

Pangu split the chaos to create the world but sacrificed himself in the process. His corpses incarnated into all things. His eyes became the sun and moon, his breath formed wind and clouds, his voice transformed into thunder and lightning, his bones turned into metal, and so much more.

How could a world be bereft of life?

Numerous lifeforms came into being, including dragons, phoenixes, qilin, and, of course, gods. The mighty heavenly emperor, Di Jun. The kind creator of the Underworld, Empress Pingxin. The beautiful lunar goddess, Changxi. The heroic sun slayer, Houyi.

And most famous of all, the inheritors of Pangu, the Three Purities. Laozi, the Heavenly Venerable of Virtuous Way; Yuanshi, the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning; Tongtian, the Heavenly Venerable of Numinous Treasures. There was one teeny problem.

"Why the hell am I a girl?" Tongtian roared at the heavens. <<less

#Murim #Romance #Action
On a fateful day, a boy and a girl crosspath in the depth of the forest. Lost and in need of solace, the boy let her live with him in a wooden house built beneath a brilliant cherry tree.... more>>

Years of harmony passed by and their bonds grew stronger than ever, regarding the other as their own family, perhaps, even closer than that. But everything, no matter good or bad, must come to an end.

On one evening, the teenage boy shared a startling discovery.
“Your brother… I found him”

Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, her eyes quivered as the memories she had long suppressed and locked away began to haunt her once again.

The desire to send justice to the murderer of her father and mother. The one that cruelly killed them with the knife in his hand on the cold windy night. The one that chased her away tirelessly to the faraway land.
Her loving brother.

And on that evening, the two had a long and heavy discussion. The boy urged her to seek and exact her revenge.
“Then, how about you?”
“Sorry… but I can’t go with you,” he replied with a bittersweet smile, filled with both mystery and sorrow.

In the end, the girl yielded and made up her mind to confront her brother. However, unbeknownst to her, something happened when the dawn finally arrived.

The boy… he was found missing.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a single clue to his whereabouts. The hint pointed directly at her brother.

And so, she goes. As she cast one last glance at the ancient tree behind her, a flood of memories from her time with the boy overwhelmed her.
And yet, it only reaffirmed her conviction once again and powered herself to face the unknown future in front of her, leaving everything that she cherished before behind.

From a fateful union to an unforeseen separation. Even vengeance born from betrayal was faltering in the grand scheme of fate.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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?

There are many possible fates that can await those whisked away from our world to another.... more>>

Some became heroes or villains, given the right power to forge their own destinies as they wished.

Others, the powerless, became victims, doomed to perish, at the mercy of the cruel world filled with mystical powers they are unprepared for.

A lone man that woke up alone under the alien sky was neither of those.

He didn't get to choose what he was going to become - a disaster, an unwilling source of intelligent, yet violent monsters, rapidly rising in numbers. Stranded in a foreign land, without even knowing the language, forever locked in the unending cycle of violence he neither wished for nor can escape from. His creations may be the only company he would ever find.

The man wasn’t powerless. But was he really that much better off?

It just took one wrong power. <<less

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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

Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect.... more>>

Brief Synopsis:
American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities.

The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series.

Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know.

I want to do this the right way.

Note from Authors:
Hi, Mr and Mrs Mooncat here. Our work is quite different with distinct local flavors as it is based on our ancestral home in a small Asian country, Malaysia (although currently, we're residing on the moon). Hence, expect a lot of footnotes, local food, places, and slangs within ;) It's a fun way to get to know Malaysia from the eyes of the locals. Besides that, we also employ simple easy-to-understand English sentences to accommodate a vast spectrum of readers with very minor elements of romance. It is very friendly to both men and women, young and old without any harsh elements (yet). We love writing and illustrating ASTHW; it has already become our prized golden child (apart from our two toddlers at home haha). Recently, we have started writing ASTHW side stories besides the usual auxiliary articles for ASTHW. Interested readers could only access them either by subscribing with us on Patreon, or sponsoring a chapter through Ko-fi. Please check our respective sites for more details.

Mrs Mooncat isn't able to write as much as before and has decided to reduce the number of chapters per month to be more realistic. The change will take effect from June 2021 onwards.

Do reach out to us through our email to send fanarts, questions, suggestions, requests etcs. We will come back to you as soon as we can (wink!)
