Instead, the Moon Goddess marked him - a blessing that became a curse in a world where her power is considered worthless. Stripped of everything he once was, Cel must survive in a world threatened by rift-creatures, where only Chosen Ones blessed by Gods stand between humanity and extinction. The Moon Goddess chose him for reasons beyond understanding. Whether that choice will forge him into a savior or twist him into something far more dangerous depends on how much of himself he is willing to give up.

Elaria crossed the sea to bring her mate home. She expected Vaelor to be busy. She expected him to have a very good reason for disappearing into the human world for hundreds of years. She did not expect him to look her in the eye and calmly say: “My name is Valerian.” Even worse, the Duke of Edevane insists that he is human. That dragons are myths. And that the strange young woman who appeared at his estate claiming to be both a dragon and his lifelong mate should probably go home. Unfortunately for Valerian, Elaria knows exactly who he is. Unfortunately for Elaria, her mate has apparently forgotten everything. Now she must survive human society, learn why unmarried men and women are not supposed to sleep in the same room, pretend to be Valerian’s “distant relative,” and somehow convince a perfectly rational duke that he is, in fact, a dragon. Meanwhile, the strange anomalies Valerian has spent his human life hunting may be connected to something far older than either of them remembers. And the closer Elaria gets to the truth, the clearer one thing becomes: Vaelor did not simply forget his way home. He forgot that home ever existed.

What if you died a nobody and woke up as a tree? Dendron died a nobody. He quit jobs, avoided conflict, and spent his days doing the bare minimum. When a truck ends his unremarkable existence, he expects nothing at all. Instead, he wakes up as a tree: rooted, immobile, and monumentally alone. In a forest teeming with monsters, cultivators, and beast tribes, Dendron discovers he's been given a second chance, and a LitRPG system to go with it. He can absorb soul cores, grow spiritual fruit, and even parasitize other creatures to build a network of avatars. Soon, he builds a network of wolves, apes, and allies who see him as a mysterious merchant, a powerful tree, or even a god. But being surrounded isn't the same as being understood. He is a reincarnator in a world that doesn't know his past. A tree in a forest of beasts. A creature in a world that fears anything it can't name. And something put him here on purpose. Whatever put him here has plans for him, and they may be far more terrifying than being a tree. "A truck hit me five minutes ago, and now I'm a fucking tree?" A LitRPG cultivation fantasy about growth, loneliness, and the quiet horror of becoming something you never planned to be. If you enjoy slow-burn mysteries, hidden organizations, ancient beings, layered worldbuilding, and gradually uncovering the true nature of a world, you may find something to enjoy here. Author's note: This novel is also officially published by me on Royalroad under the username Bryrawr.

As he prepares to leave behind the quiet life of the Crimson Tavern, Alistar finds himself haunted by small fragments of the past: recurring dreams, an old scar that shouldn't even exist, letters from a childhood friend he hasn't seen even in years, and a crimson moon that makes something weird within him. Meanwhile, far beyond the academy's walls, ancient forces begin to move. Secrets buried for over a decade are starting to resurface, and the truth behind Alistar's existence may be far more dangerous than anyone realizes. At Crimson Academy, where every student is expected to wield magic, one boy with none at all may become the centre of a mystery that threatens to change everything.

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.

✨ Cultivation (Detailed) ✨ Slice of Life ✨ Physician & Alchemist ✨ Yang Body ✨ Romance ✨ Sword Cultivator ✨ Spirit Chef ✨ Scholar ⚠️ BEFORE YOU PROCEED ⚠️ - This novel is based on an Eastern cultivation power system with sects, clans, and Dao concepts, while also incorporating Western fantasy elements such as elves, demi-humans, and more. - Both English and Chinese names are used throughout the story. If this style doesn’t suit your taste, this novel may not be for you. - Romance is a core element... expect gradual development, wholesome sweetness, and plenty of heartfelt moments. Yes… maybe a little too much sweetness. - The cultivation system is detailed and clearly defined, progressing step by step through Body, Soul, and Spirit cultivation. - This is my first novel. Please give it a chance for at least the first 12 chapters... I’m confident it won’t disappoint you. Su Wen was looked down upon by his companions; while they had already reached Peak Foundation Establishment, he was still 'stuck' at the Qi Refining stage. What they didn’t know… Su Wen: “It’s not me who’s trash… it’s you. I’m cultivating an Unknown-Grade Body, Soul, and Spirit technique, passed down by my mortal grandfather!” “Wait… my grandparents are mortals? Then how do they even know cultivation techniques?!” “The girl I treated after she failed her Heavenly Tribulation… she wants to marry me… but secretly she is…?!!” “That elf girl… I…” “That White Tiger…” “That Black Dragon…” "From a small village to the top of the world, he will become the greatest… Husband." What to expect: - A smart, prideful, and clever MC who fools countless villains with his BS - Heart-warming interactions with his wives, occasional chaos, and charming screw-ups - Detailed cultivation system (Soul, Body, Spirit) - Hard work, training, and dedication - Wives causing chaos wherever they go What NOT to Expect: - System or cheat powers (MC and wives achieve everything through hard work) - 2D characters (Every character is unique; not every woman is meant for the MC. Those who are, are special and few) - Weak humans vs. overpowered demons/beastmen (strength depends on cultivation) PLEASE SUPPORT ME VIA PAYPAL/KoFi FOR CONITNUOUS UPDATES....

Working is hard. Being a hero too. Doing both at the same time, for half the pay, is hell. Every day, Arthur wakes up early to sweep the filthy streets of Lumière in exchange for a pittance, zero recognition, and a terrible smell that seeps through his clothes and clings to his body. But when monsters appear and the city needs someone, he’s the one who steps up. Not to defeat them, of course, but because, apparently, no one else wants to clean up the mess that the real heroes leave behind. At the end of the day, his only consolation is heading to the corner diner, where the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen works. There, between a hot sandwich and a shy smile, Arthur almost forgets that he’s the lowest-paid (and most ridiculous) hero in Lumière. What kind of shit hero is this?
