The Ten Thousand Races

Ten Gates

Update Schedule: One new chapter released daily! Genres: Action-packed adventure, dark fantasy world, shocking reversals, multi-world setting, epic fantasy quest, journey of self-discovery. On Patreon (search for "Zane Lee" - the avatar is a black cat writing), you can read new chapters two weeks in advance. In a world shaped by trials and ancient mysteries, a young man named Leo awakens in a remote village with no memory of his past-only a deep scar on his collarbone, shaped like a five-pointed star. As a skilled blacksmith, he leads a quiet life until he and an outcast girl, Luna, uncover a long-forgotten legend about the Silver Pentagram, a once-glorious adventurer's guild. Their journey takes them through perilous cities, into the depths of a colossal mechanical tree, and against the will of those who wish to keep the past buried. When Leo encounters a masked thief named Dan, fragments of truth begin to surface-revealing that Leo might not just be seeking the Silver Pentagram, but reclaiming a history that was stolen from him. With powerful artifacts, sentient machines, and a looming war between light and darkness, The Ten Gates is a thrilling tale of lost identity, the battle between fate and free will, and the acceptance of both humanity's brilliance and its deepest flaws. As Leo and Luna venture toward the stormy shores of the Shattered Wind Sea, they must face not only their enemies but also the echoes of a forgotten past that could change the world forever. Will Leo reclaim his memories before the darkness overtakes him? Or will he become the very thing he once sought to destroy?

Birth of the Ruler: The Emergence of the Primordial Race

Tags: Celestials, Demons, Titans, Magic, .... Before Earth’s destruction, Zion was involved in a tragic accident that caused his soul to escape the planet. This event spared him from witnessing the catastrophic disaster that annihilated all life, leaving no living creature behind. However, Earth and every soul connected to it underwent an on imaginable distribution as they got refined by the Celestial being for its mysterious purpose. Both souls and matter were erased from existence. After 1,000 cosmic years, Zion was reborn as a Titan, a member of the legendary Primordial Race. Myths tell of how, after creating the Seven Heavens and the Seven Hells, the Cosmos populated them with two opposing forces: the Celestial Race, who adhered to cosmic laws to refine their divinity, and the Demon Race, who defied those same laws in their pursuit of power. But the Celestials and Demons were not the Cosmos’ final creations. A third race was unintentionally born, the Primordials, beings capable of bending the very laws of reality. Feared for their overwhelming power, their existence threatened the delicate balance of creation. To prevent chaos, the Cosmos sacrificed itself, using its own essence to seal the Primordials at the edge of the Void, far beyond the reach of the heavens and hells. Zion, born as the first true Primordial through natural birth, an act that defied cosmic laws, became a member of the Nihiliths, a noble Void Primordial clan. His unique existence granted him unparalleled abilities to manipulate the fabric of reality itself, marking him as a being of extraordinary potential. But his life was far from easy. The Celestials and Demons, unable to rival the Primordials’ power, discovered loopholes in the ancient seal. Out of envy and greed, they began abducting newborn Primordials, exploiting their essence for twisted experiments, weapons, and forbidden alchemy. Zion uncovers a dark truth: the destruction of Earth was not a natural catastrophe but a calculated act to prevent humanity’s evolution into a race capable of rivaling the heavens. Now, Zion must rise as the leader of the scattered and sealed Primordials. He must unite his people, protect them from the relentless schemes of Celestials and Demons, and uncover the secrets behind the Cosmos’ ultimate sacrifice. To reclaim the Primordials’ rightful place in the universe, Zion must embrace his full potential, even if it means bending the laws of creation itself and challenging the balance of existence. releasing days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday

The Ten-Day Apocalypse

The protagonist, Qi Xia, awakens in a strange room with nine others. A humanoid sheep informs them they must participate in a special game—to create a god like Nuwa. Their first challenge is "The Liar," where each must recount their last memories before arriving. As they exchange stories, they realize they come from different provinces and all died in an earthquake, suggesting a global catastrophe. After four rounds, they win but do not return to reality. Instead, they step into a ruined city filled with death—the "Land of Ruin." A humanoid dragon explains that to escape, they must gamble against the "Twelve Zodiacs" wearing animal masks and collect 3,600 "Dao" within ten days. As the game progresses, Qi Xia’s teammates die one by one, revealing that in their final moments, they awaken supernatural abilities—such as pulling objects from empty containers. This phenomenon, called "Echo," allows them to manipulate reality in small ways. On the fourth day, Qi Xia is also killed but unexpectedly wakes up the day before entering the Land of Ruin. He relives the earthquake, returns to the interview room, and finds his wife has disappeared from the real world, leaving no trace of her existence. The Land of Ruin was created by powerful figures who followed an ancient book detailing methods to obtain supernatural abilities. Their goal was to create a god, using over a thousand souls who were originally meant to descend into hell as test subjects. However, the highest authority, Tianlong, defied the original plan, believing he should be the one to ascend. He abandoned the god-making project and instead made a wager with Qi Xia. Qi Xia either loses (or does not lose) the bet and has his sorrow sealed. However, before his defeat, his power surges, and he declares that all fallen participants will return and that the Echo-bearers will overthrow Tianlong. Because of his words, all the deceased revive on the eleventh day. In the second grand cycle, Qi Xia loses his sorrow and can no longer awaken his ability, "Everlasting Vitality." This weakens his efficiency in looping through time. Meanwhile, Tianlong fabricates a lie that collecting 3,600 Dao will allow them to escape, stalling for time. Qi Xia, desperate to find another way out, even attempts to become one of the Zodiacs. He starts as a Human-Sheep, and after killing many participants, ascends to the status of an Earthly Sheep. However, as he is about to become a Heavenly Sheep, Tianlong deceives him, erases his memories, and resets him to a normal human—thus beginning the main story. Through countless loops, Qi Xia allies with others who have awakened Echo abilities, battling Tianlong and his forces, including the Zodiacs and Divine Beasts. They must not only survive deadly games but also uncover the hidden secrets of the Land of Ruin, all while navigating betrayals, tests of trust, and human nature’s complexities. The story’s climax is full of twists. The first major revelation is that Qi Xia had already become a god. The entire novel is actually his second loop—his first rebellion failed, Tianlong destroyed the Land of Ruin, and Qi Xia was the sole survivor. In eternity, Qi Xia used his godlike power to recreate the Land of Ruin, reviving the Zodiacs, Divine Beasts, and participants, setting the stage for another battle against Tianlong. The second twist reveals Qi Xia tricks Tianlong into a dream, using his power to create a new world where everyone’s wishes are fulfilled. However, this world cannot contain Qi Xia. In the end, he sacrifices himself, exchanging his despair for everyone else’s happiness.

RISE OF A RACE

"there are two kinds of people, the wise and the intelligent. The wise are those who accumulate wisdom by making mistakes or witnessing others making them and learn from them, no one is born wise, wisdom is acquired by experience and observation of anything and everything, it may be from a job, stories, books, movies, tv shows, even social media... but most importantly history, people who disregard history are foolish, history shows us the mistakes made in the thousands of years of existence of our race, it is accumulated concentrated wisdom, it is the biggest treasure, the sharpest weapon of any civilization. And then we have the intelligent, or the 'deductions specialists' as i like to call them, those are the people that are independent from wisdom or little dependent on it, they don't need the experience of a situation to find a solution, because they find it on their own, they make it on their own on the very first try, they can do so much with so little information and tools, they surpass. Now it's not like they don't make mistakes at all, but it is very rare, and if they do, then the same mistake will never be repeated again. Now both of them are dangerous, but to a manageable degree, the ones that i fear the most are those that combine traits of both wisdom and intelligence, those that learn from their mistakes before even making them, those that undergo every single scenario, think about every single possibility, and never disregard any kind of information, no matter how insignificant it may appear, in their eyes it is worth the world. And that's not even the scariest part about them, they never regret their actions, but they always search for flaws in them, they never strive for perfection, for they know nothing is perfect, they know that they have a limit, and that someday they will reach it, but never stop from trying to find it, because they don't know where it lies and never will, it might be very close and it might be very far. They know there's no such a thing as surpassing your limit, they know they'll never become all powerful, because they're but a creation of the one and only God. Those are the ones i fear, what they can do is unimaginable, yes... I am scared of them... because i myself am one of them." ~Adam kawn~ Accompany Adam on his journey of leading Humans into becoming an multiversal civilization.
