Three centuries ago, the world was ruled by a man named Taisho, a just ruler who spread peace far and wide. Under his reign, poverty was eradicated to the point of nonexistence, and the land flourished with prosperity. However, before his passing, Taisho divided his vast kingdom among his four most loyal disciples, who established their own realms and raised banners of prosperity over their lands. Thus, Desperado, Zodia, Melinia, and Zon became known as the Four Great Kingdoms, dominating the world with unmatched power. But as time passed, these kingdoms transformed into greedy forces, devouring smaller realms and draining their resources. Poverty returned, and wars once again cast their shadow of destruction over the land. Amidst this chaos lies the kingdom of Necroz, the poorest and most wretched of all, where our hero Raven resides. Having just emerged from a prison where he endured five years of torment, Raven now carries a burning desire for revenge in his heart and a single goal in his eyes: the Vengeance from those who imprisoned him. But how can Raven achieve this impossible goal?

In a world where power and magic govern all, Ren was once a weak, unremarkable youth. Born in a distant, forgotten village, his only hope for survival in the chaotic land was to endure and work tirelessly. But fate had other plans for him. Ren’s life changes forever when he unknowingly stumbles upon the ruins of the Shadow Monarch, an ancient being who once ruled the realm through the power of shadows. Through a series of trials that push him to the edge of death, Ren inherits the legacy of the Shadow Monarch, gaining control over the very shadows themselves. However, power is never a gift without consequence. With his newfound strength, Ren embarks on a journey to build his own kingdom, starting from the heart of the ancient land where the Abyss Knight—a being of pure darkness—had once laid waste to civilizations. As he conquers magical beasts, warriors, and rival kingdoms, Ren’s growth accelerates, and the people of the land begin to whisper of his power. But his rise is far from uncontested. Facing divine beings, who see him as a threat to their dominion, Ren must not only defeat beasts but also challenge gods, fighting for survival and progressing toward godhood with each hard-won battle. Along the way, he faces challenges of loyalty, betrayal, and sacrifice. As Ren’s power grows, so too does the responsibility of being the Shadow Monarch, and he must decide how far he is willing to go to secure his future and the legacy of his kingdom. With shadow magic, kingdom-building, divine invasions, and a journey of personal growth, Ren is on the path to greatness—if he can survive the enemies that will rise against him. Will Ren remain the same man who once feared the world, or will he become something more, shaping a kingdom of shadows that will stand the test of time? The Shadow Monarch's Rise is a story of growth, power, and the unrelenting pursuit of destiny in a world where gods, monsters, and mortals collide.

MOUNTAIN SITTING IMMORTAL (MSI) A conduit of the great Dao happened to enter the grotto heaven called Earth. No one had been able to take ownership of this conduit for many years until Marvin came into contact with it.  Marvin met the requirement to use the conduit. This allowed him to begin his journey towards immortality.  The journey begins from transcending the first mortal coil at Body Forging to transcending the second at Energy Gathering, passing through the subsequent mortal coils, and hopefully to becoming a true immortal with eternal life.

### Title: **"Xiao Yan’s Journey: From Beast Mountain to Pill Tower Glory"** ### Summary: Xiao Yan, guided by his mentor Yao Lao, embarked on an extraordinary path of growth and mastery. Following Yao Lao’s suggestion, he trained for three years in the Beast Mountain near Qingsan City before departing for Jia Nan Academy. At 16, after the Xiao Clan’s coming-of-age ceremony, he inherited the clan’s Heavenly Flame. Shortly after a pivotal three-year agreement, Xiao Yan competed in the Grand Alchemist Tournament, emerging victorious as a 5th-grade Alchemist. His triumph earned him an offer from a Pill Tower Elder, again at Yao Lao’s urging, to join the prestigious Pill Tower—though he had to wait one year after completing his education at Jia Nan Academy to officially join. During a meeting with the Pill Tower’s three heads, Yao Lao appeared, requesting they contact Feng Zhun Zhe. Xiao Yan’s journey continued as he defeated Han Feng to claim the Sea Heart Flame and later acquired the Fallen Heart Flame’s seed from Jia Nan Academy, exchanging it for the full flame. Through perseverance, skill, and Yao Lao’s guidance, Xiao Yan solidified his legacy as a prodigious alchemist and flame wielder.

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

[WSA ENTRY 2025] In a world where power reigns supreme, Zoey Monroe was born with nothing. Labeled "Mana-less" in a society of Hunters, she was the stain on the prestigious Monroe Family, a shame to one of Sunrow City's most powerful bloodlines. Ridiculed, ostracized, and treated as less than human, Zoey endured years of scorn. Until one day, at seventeen, she made a choice—to leave it all behind. Six months later, struggling to make ends meet in the city, Zoey’s life takes an unexpected turn. After another grueling day at work, she returns home, only to witness a dungeon rift tearing open behind her apartment. Drawn by curiosity—and the desperate hunger for change—she steps inside. But the dungeon is merciless. Death looms over her, suffocating, inevitable... until— [Enough Mana Has Been Accumulated!] [Error! A mysterious system has already been bound to the host. Adjusting...] [Ding! Installing the A Hundred Times System!] In an instant, Zoey's fate is rewritten. From outcast to overpowered, from weakling to warrior—the path to greatness has begun. This is her story.

In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel. A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy. This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.
