Cashing Out Spiritual Stones

On the forgotten world of Baedakar, life is a daily struggle against stone, scarcity, and the invisible hand of oppression. The villagers toil in the shadow of a galaxy that has left them behind, their every attempt at progress quietly sabotaged by forces they cannot see. While most accept the world as it is, a few begin to notice the patterns the subtle failures, the stifled ambitions, the sense that something, or someone, is holding them back. When a wandering outsider arrives, bringing rare knowledge and a hunger for lost truths, a small group of villagers is drawn together by curiosity, loyalty, and the quiet ache for something more. Their search for answers leads them deep beneath Baedakar’s surface, where they uncover evidence of deliberate sabotage and a hidden network of surveillance. The truth is more unsettling than they imagined their world is a mask, its people pawns in a greater game orchestrated by shadows. As the group races to expose the conspiracy, they must decide whom to trust and how far to go for the hope of freedom. Their journey will test the bonds of friendship and the limits of courage, as they risk everything to carry the truth beyond Baedakar’s walls. But the Council’s reach is long, and the galaxy’s indifference is deep. The first spark of rebellion is lit, and the fate of many may rest on the choices of a few who dare to question the darkness.

Tang Hao was the creator of the strongest weapon of the Seven Boundless Winds Clan. After stealing the clan’s forbidden scrolls, he forged a weapon — the Lotus Petal — one of the three most powerful weapons in the clan’s history. But when the elders and the clan leader discovered this, Tang Hao was declared a traitor and became a target of pursuit. To atone for his sins, he personally returned the Lotus Petal to the clan leader — and threw himself from a cliff. From that day, he was reborn on the Spirit Continent.

On a vast continent where the forces of light and darkness exist in a delicate balance, there lies the legendary Stone of Destiny—the Law Stone. This mysterious gem seals the rift between chaos and order, preserving the balance of the world, and stands as the last relic of the ancient gods. The Stone is both a blessing and a curse: it grants its bearer unparalleled power, yet demands that they bear the heavy burden of safeguarding the world. The story’s heroine, Eleanor, was once an ordinary university student in the 21st century. By a strange twist of fate, she is transported into a novel’s world, where she becomes a gifted yet inwardly fragile apprentice at the prestigious Arcane Academy. A sudden invasion by demonic forces changes her destiny forever. Through a series of coincidences, Eleanor becomes the bearer of the Stone of Destiny, forced to shoulder both the hopes and the curse of an entire world. The Stone’s power rapidly elevates her to one of the most formidable beings in existence—but at the cost of her soul, which begins to succumb to encroaching darkness. Under the threat of the King of the Abyss, the fallen god who leads the demon legions, the world’s order begins to crumble. Once a deity, the Abyss King now seeks to use the Stone’s power to tear apart the barrier between chaos and order, plunging the world into an endless abyss of darkness. Eleanor must choose between destruction and salvation. Beside her stand two men, both drawn into this vortex of destiny: Raynor: her childhood friend and sworn protector, a swordsman of unshakable honor and courage. He believes with all his heart that Eleanor can conquer the darkness, even as she grows more distant and the Stone’s power changes her. No matter what, he remains by her side. Ronquis: the Academy’s coldest and most rational archmage, a master strategist who sees through the essence of all power. He is wary of the disaster the Stone may bring and stands ready to do the unthinkable—end Eleanor’s path if necessary, to preserve the world. As the Stone’s power continues to awaken, Eleanor struggles between light and shadow, love and solitude, freedom and destiny. In the final battle against the King of the Abyss, she fully accepts the Stone’s power, using her will to redefine the true purpose of strength. She shatters the Stone’s curse—that every bearer must be consumed—and chooses to merge her soul with the Stone, becoming the guardian of a new world order. Yet her victory marks only the beginning of a new chapter. The awakening of the Stone sends ripples through the world, stirring ancient gods and long-slumbering powers. Eleanor’s choice becomes the prelude to an even grander epic.

ZOYA was born into a world that never truly welcomed her. From the very beginning, her existence was met with disappointment—because she was a girl. Unlike other children, Zoya faced developmental challenges; she struggled to understand the world around her, found it difficult to speak clearly, and lacked the communication skills that others took for granted. For this, she was ignored, ridiculed, and treated like a shadow within her own home. But even in the darkness, Sanvi had a spark—she was brilliant in her studies. Slowly, silently, she began to grow. Yet, just as she stepped into school, life grew even crueler. She became a victim of relentless bullying, day after day. And she bore it all alone. Her fear of her abusive and violent family silenced her pain. She learned early on that speaking up only brought more hurt. Years passed. The wounds she hid never healed—but she kept walking forward, searching for something—perhaps love, perhaps peace. But fate had other plans. She fell for someone younger, a love the world would never understand. Meanwhile, tragedy struck her home in ways that shattered her soul. Still, Zoya refused to break. This is a haunting tale of a girl who was unloved, unheard, and unseen—yet dared to survive. Through betrayal, heartbreak, and loss, Sanvi’s journey is one of quiet strength, hidden battles, and the desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, she deserved more.

The nascent Chaos had just been carved out, and the barren void welcomed the souls from the Otherworld. As the first soul in the Chaos World, Laine automatically became the God of Spirituality. However, divine power stems from Divine Power, and the existence of spirituality was insignificant; thus, the newly born Laine was extremely weak. With no other choice, to avoid being overturned by the torrents of fate, Laine had to rely on himself. He carved out realms, and birthed lives belonging solely to spirituality. He created sequences, scattering the steps to deification. He wove the Magic Net, enveloping the sky, the oceans, and the land. When the bell of dusk sounded, I raised my divine seat and proclaimed to all beings from the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm: There are two facets to the world, the material and the spiritual. The material belongs to the gods, and the spiritual belongs to me, such is the ultimate truth of all things.

In the sixth orbit of a distant galaxy, there once was a planet known as "Akaser," the cradle of the most brilliant human civilization. Until "they" escaped their confines, turning humans from rulers into prey. Facing the threat of extinction, a group of humans, led by Commander Ivan Hurst, fled Akaser aboard the ark ship "Luminous."

"They Call Guys Like Me a Simp.” (Meanwhile, I’m out here living what their favorite MC only dreams about.) You ever notice how stories glorify the ones who feel nothing? The MC who never laughs. Never feels. Who plays women like chess pieces and calls it intelligence. He manipulates a girl? “He’s strategic.” He never opens up? “He’s mysterious.” He never flinches, never laughs, never lives — And you call that strength? Funny. Because to me? That’s just a prison in disguise. You see an “alpha.” I see a boy too scared to feel anything real. While they spend ten chapters monologuing about logic and sacrifice, I’m already making the Saintess scream, drenched in sin, halo cracked, legs trembling from truths her prayers never taught her. And I didn’t get there with cold eyes or control. I got there with laughter and chill. With warmth. With a grin and a hand on her thigh. I didn’t need to dominate her mind — I freed her heart. But that scares people, doesn’t it? Because readers trust the ones who suffer. Who stay quiet. Who kill without blinking and love without showing it. But me? I flirt. I laugh. I take hits and smile back, bloody and defiant, as if too weak to get angry. I don’t need to pretend emotions are weakness. I weaponize mine. Pleasure. Connection. Laughter. That’s my arsenal. And while your favorite MC is still calculating his next five moves, Trying to outwit death and romance like both are math problems, I’m already balls deep in the jade fairy — her sacred yin furnace clenching like it’s worshipping my shaft, her Dao Echo shattered into breathless moans, and her so-called cultivation path leaking down her thighs while she begs me to break her meridians again. You call that luck? Nah. That’s mastery of the three worlds. Because in a world that respects coldness, I came in hot. Where others manipulate, I connect. Where they posture, I play. Where they sacrifice, I seduce. So go ahead. Call me a simp. But while your genius MC is busy monologuing about destiny, I’m the one making goddesses question theirs — with a smirk, a touch, and no regrets. I’m not the hero. Not the villain. I’m just a simp… the kind who leaves your cold, emotionless MC’s woman dripping, ruined, and too stretched to go back to him.
