Cultivation of Sword Arts to Immortality

Inspired by the masterpiece Reverend Insanity, Desire was once an ordinary human from Earth who was abruptly ripped away from his modern life and thrown into the brutal, lawless world of the Myriad Edge Continent. In his first life, he lived through misery, betrayal, and relentless struggle. For six hundred and fifty years, he shed every trace of useless sympathy, moral weakness, and naive emotion. He learned that in a world ruled by strength and swords, only personal benefits and eternal life truly matter. He schemed against righteous sects, butchered demonic path masters, and climbed over mountains of corpses to reach the peak of mortal power, only to perish under the siege of countless enemies before he could step into the immortal ranks. Yet death was not his end. Carrying six hundred and fifty years of memories, cruel wisdom, and complete knowledge of future events, Desire awakens in his youthful body on the very day he first arrived on the Myriad Edge Continent. Surrounded by bewildered mortals who still cling to illusions of justice and modern ethics, Desire looks at the vast world with eyes as cold as ancient ice. He does not seek revenge, nor does he care for petty hatred. He cares only for one absolute goal: cultivating the supreme sword arts to attain true immortality. To achieve this, he will manipulate friends and foes alike, sacrifice entire kingdoms, and exploit every resource without hesitation.

ABSOLVE: The Dark Horse

He was arguing that free will exists when the world ended. One move from winning. A stone between his fingers. His oldest rival across the board, insisting that nothing anyone does is truly chosen — that every step of a man's life was laid down before he took the first. Then the room skipped, and Shen Huang woke facedown in black water on a world that had never heard of Earth. He did not panic. He counted. Wrong cold. Fog the color of a bruise. A crowd above him, waiting. Two seconds, and he understood he was dead, and elsewhere, and here on purpose. The third second was the one that should have frightened him. He was interested. In this world, power is inherited. The Vashari are born holding it — fire that follows the eye, minds that bend memory, futures read like a page. Everyone else is Nuun. The empty. The severed. Cattle with names, herded into a drowned frontier nobody else wanted. Shen Huang has no power. He will never have power. He has something worse. He has four thousand years of a dead world's warcraft locked behind his eyes — every siege, every betrayal, every annihilation history ever recorded — and he has landed among a people who have never seen a single one of them. They will call him the Nobody. Then the general. Then the King of the Empty. And when they finally find a word for what he is, it will not be a title. It will be a curse, whispered in a language older than their gods, for the thing that moves without being moved. He has done this before. He does not remember losing.

I Can Extract the Plot ( As a Trash Side-Character)

Caelen Vance was supposed to die in Chapter One. Not metaphorically. Not “almost died but awakened hidden powers” died. Actually executed. Publicly. By axe. Unfortunately for the plot, Caelen remembers the game he reincarnated into. And unfortunately for the world, he just unlocked the single most broken ability imaginable: Endless Concept Extraction Touch anything. Steal one of its concepts. Permanently. Sharpness from swords. Durability from shields. Intent to Kill from monsters. Later? Luck. Identity. Memories. Even Divine Authority itself. There’s only one catch: He can only extract once every 24 hours. Now trapped inside the brutal dark-fantasy RPG Apocalypse: Reforged as a talentless noble bastard with a dead mana core and a 30-day countdown to execution, Caelen has exactly one goal: Survive quietly. Get rich illegally. Avoid every main character. Retire before the apocalypse. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong. The future Ice Tyrant overseeing his execution becomes suspicious of him. The regressed heroine meant to save the world thinks he’s a timeline-breaking demon. A terrifying demon assassin starts living inside his shadow after he accidentally frees her from slavery. And a merchant genius keeps trying to convert emotional intimacy into legally binding business contracts. Now Caelen must survive political conspiracies, eldritch horrors, noble assassins, and the increasingly violent cold war between four dangerously competent women all while pretending he is absolutely, definitely, completely normal. Which becomes difficult after he accidentally removes a monster’s “Intent to Kill” and gives it an existential crisis. After all… It’s hard to stay a background character when you’re secretly stealing the concepts holding the world together.

Beastiary's Theory Of Evolution

The Beastiary's Theory Of Evolution states "All Trash Creatures Perish For The Sake Of The Higher Ones, All Trash Creatures Serve The Higher Ones, All Trash Creatures Needs To Evolve To Survive." A THEORY that is believed of different races throughout the land of Ouroboros throughout the thousands of years the world has existed. Creatures of different kinds worshipped the Great Beastiary, believed the Great Beastiary, and idolized the Great Beastiary. That was how the world of Ouroboros existed... Until a Pale-Mantle Manul broke the rule. After experiencing an impossible murder case and was henceforth suspected as the murderer of his Master, three years later after the "murder" broke out, he was sent into a Locked Room where he would need to stay until he dies. That was how Locked Rooms are; prisons where prisoners are sent to... —With the exception of the Pale-Mantle Manul. Throughout this literature, you will follow the Pale-Mantle Manul as he traverses this corrupted world of Ouroboros, ruled by the Crown. He will explore different Locked Rooms, uncover the secrets of these Locked Rooms, and unveil the history of them. However, you will have to go through all of these with different kinds of tragedies and heartwarming moments happening along the road. Especially, a slight pinch of romance in the story. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What to expect: - A unique and new power system based around Pokemon's evolution and Kit-based power system. - A new world that isn't just a globe with different geographies. The world is a circular serpent swallowing itself through different time periods. - Well written characters that aren't just one note. They all have their own motivations with their actions. They are flawed too. Especially the mc. Suprising right? - The main plot is about the unsolvable murder case. However, the story takes breaks from that sometimes. - Another interesting aspect is that mythology is an important aspect. Yes, the ancient mythology. Since, spoiler (well not really), one of the main character is transmigrated from Earth, which she will have an important role with uncovering the truth about these Locked Rooms. Some important Ancient Creatures (or what I call Divine Threads) are based off Mythological Creatures. - The romance is the best aspect. I'm not joking. You'll see. - I personally don't like plain character designs, so most of the important characters in the story will have some of the most beautiful character designs you'll read about. And yes, it's not only for aesthetic. It can impact their fighting styles and especially personality. - When you're reading it, don't expect it to end in a hundred chapters, or even two hundred. I'm planning this story to have atleast a thousand chapters or more. So, when you're reading, try to think in a larger scale. - Lastly, this story wasn't written to be perfect. I hate it when a story is too fast paced that there's barely enough time for me to have relationship/understanding with the main characters. This story can be slow, but each chapter will still push the plot forward. - I forgot to mention this. But the main theme of the story is your own WORTH. In this current time, with wars happening left and right, corruption taking money from different people, and the evil growing larger than the good... It's what motivated me to continue this story.

Aevum - A VRMMO LitRPG Story

The incredibly anticipated game, Aevum, has just released today. Arthur has been waiting for this game for a long time, as it is the first true virtual reality MMORPG to ever be released. The company has been quite secretive about the technology behind it, though... Arthur will get to experience life in another world, along with fifty thousand other players as part of the first wave into Aevum. He will fight, learn, improve, make friends, make enemies, and uncover strange happenings in this new world. What to expect: A VRMMO story without "die in real life" stakes (I know, not everyone's cup of tea). A main character who is driven to become stronger through pure swordsmanship, no magic. Fairly light hearted tones, with descriptions of violence but nothing grotesque. PG-13 is roughly equivalent I would say.

Isn't it uncomfortable? You should try wearing that silken skirt little Xiao gave you the other day." Wan Zhaolu who was wiping her sword looked up at him with a trace of anger and annoyance hidden inside her eyes: "Master, you know Xiaomiao?" Zhou Zaizhi tilted his head slight, he replied: "Of course? She's your friend after all." Wan Zhaolu sighed and was about to turn back to cleaning her sword when she heard him continued: "Or you could try this dress little Jinghua gave me. Sighs, why did she even give me such a thing? It’s not as if I can wear it." Wan Zhaolu snapped her head back at him, "Who is this Jinghua? Is she a woman?" "Huh? She is Yisong's junior, she visited us a few months ago remeber? She even introduced me to her master and aunt maste-" Zhou Zaizhi's words were cut off before he could finish, a sharp blade had already appeared beside his neck at some point in time. "You know other women?!" "???"
