The Advent of the Soul Tree

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.

SAIKON

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

I Died During The College Debate and Awoke as the Heavenly Debater

Is this what happens when a debater dies? Charlie Kellan was a college student who spent his life arguing, questioning, and dismantling the ideas of others through nothing more than words. His life ended unexpectedly during a university debate, and when Death came to collect his soul, Charlie was sent into reincarnation and awakened in a world where Cultivation Reigns Supreme! Here, strength determines status, powerful cultivators can shatter mountains, and countless paths to immortality have already been developed. Charlie creates something the cultivation world has never seen before The Verbal Arts! What begins as a peculiar technique gradually develops into a complete cultivation system built upon rhetoric, logic, psychology, persuasion, and the manipulation of conviction. However, the stronger the Verbal Arts become, the more terrifying their potential appears. A sword can injure the body. A spell can destroy the soul. But words? Words can make someone destroy themselves. As Charlie's techniques spread throughout the cultivation world, the righteous sects begin to condemn them, while demonic cultivators recognize their potential. Eventually, the Verbal Arts are classified as a branch of the Demonic Arts. Charlie, however, doesn't understand why everyone is so surprised. After all, he has never believed that a weapon needs to be made of metal. Sometimes... All you need is an argument. Note: - Daily Chapters for First 2 Weeks - Inspired By Charlie Kirk not the Real Charlie Kirk - No filters I will write it to the very detail even if this gets banned and if it does ill write in Patreon for Free - First 3 chapters are AI but I used my old novel as a blueprint since it kinda fit the novel and i decided to start this novel since I've always wanted to write a Novel where the MC only has Verbal Powers and I figured it's the best time to start.
