GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Beom-seok was a virgin gamer with a simple dream: to get his first kiss. After years of loneliness, he finally lands a girlfriend, a shy, nerdy otaku girl. The day they planned to share their first kiss was also the day he completed their favorite RPG. But fate had other plans for him. And smashes into him. Literally. And just like that, he died. Just inches away from her lips. The next time he opens his eyes, he’s no longer on Earth—but inside the world of The Magic Academy's Genius Scholars, as his avatar: Arthur Arcain, a character so fragile and pitiful he was only added to the game for fan service. Ridiculed by players. Unable to store unrefined mana or force. And destined to die no matter what route you played. But Beom-seok knew the truth: Arthur wasn’t just some extra. He was the sole male heir of a powerful, all-female demonic dragon clan, and he possessed the greatest magical potential in the game—if only his body could handle unrefined mana and force. Luckily for Beom-seok, a mysterious system activates, changing everything. A system that links his survival to the game's female leads. A system that rewards him for completing their scenarios… and growing their affection bonds. The more they fall for him, the more refined mana, force and stats he gains, making his power and talent close to none. But there’s a catch. If he fails a scenario? The world ends. And he dies.

Title:섭우춘빙 (Seop Woo Chun Bing) Author: 밤꾀꼬리 Description: *Clang!* The mask split in half, revealing a face so extraordinary it seemed almost otherworldly. Skin as pale as if it would smudge with the slightest touch, a sharp and elegant nose, perfectly shaped lips. Every feature was as refined as if sculpted by a master artisan, untouched by the passage of time. Once jet-black like the night, the hair had turned as white as the snow-capped mountains of the northern lands. It was still beautiful, but a fragile, ethereal quality had been added, as if the figure might scatter and dissolve into the air at any moment. As the mask fell away, revealing eyes beneath fluttering, slow-blinking lashes, they shone like polished black onyx—noble and luminous. It was a visage so close to a work of art that it seemed a pity only Ye Kang-oh and the sun bore witness to it. However, in the presence of this breathtakingly handsome man, Ye Kang-oh’s expression began to crumble. There was no way he couldn’t recognize that face. Not because it was a beauty that could rival even Song-ok or Ban-ak, but because it belonged to someone who had once been Kang-oh’s protector. "Is it you?" Ye Kang-oh, the youngest disciple of the Black Sky Lord, stood before the man he had once revered and adored. Dan Woo-hyo, the Lord of White Virtue Palace, whom the martial world believed to be missing, was there. "Has it really been you all along?" ------------ I am NOT the author. I'm just translating this novel.

In his past life, Mo Liang  was born a commoner in a patriarchal martial world. He was a talented martial artist—disciplined, calculating, and destined for greatness. But the woman he trusted most, his senior martial sister and first love, betrayed him. She used his secrets to rise in power, left him crippled, and discarded him like broken pottery. Mo Liang died alone, despised, and consumed by bitterness. His final wish? "Let me never be fooled by a woman again." But fate has a twisted sense of humor.Mo Liang awakens in a foreign world—one where everything is reversed. In this land, women rule the martial world, inherit sects, lead armies, and cultivate with power. Men are ornaments, symbols of grace and purity, expected to obey and submit. The world reveres strength in women and virtue in men. He is now Sima Rin , a 10-year-old boy from the noble yet declining Sima Clan  of the Northern Murim Alliance. The clan was once known for its fierce female warriors and refined male courtiers, but now it stands on the brink of ruin—politically weakened, economically strained, and hunted by ambitious rivals.Rin is stunning—angelic face, porcelain skin, long flowing hair, and soft-spoken charm. Everyone sees him as the precious little son of a ruined clan: someone to protect, marry off, or control. But inside this fragile vessel lives the soul of Mo Liang—the cold, jaded cultivator who once survived hell. He refuses to live bound by silk chains and smiling lies. Behind his gentle eyes, he observes the matriarchal world with razor precision. He begins training in secret—drawing from manuals, abandoned techniques, and relics of a forgotten era where power had no gender. He will rise. Not as a “son” to be wed. Not as a pawn in political games. Not as a flower to be admired.

Lin Xun was just another senior at a mid-tier cultivation school—average talent, average background, and stuck at the fourth stage of Qi Condensation. Then he stepped into a decommissioned training pod no one was supposed to touch... and something quietly embedded itself in his body. Now? He wakes up stronger. Not because of pills, not because of manuals, and definitely not because of luck. His body refines the techniques he practices. In his sleep. Automatically. No one knows. And he’s not about to tell them. In a world where progress is everything and wasted time means falling behind, Lin Xun just gained the one advantage no one else can replicate.

Ji Yunya died at eighteen, was reborn, and returned from Hell as a devil. ＊ Everyone said that the Ji Family's girl was gentle and graceful, beautiful and smart, elegant and refined, with a heart as delicate as an orchid and scholarship as impressive as her manners; she truly lived up to her reputation as the top socialite. "Ji Yunya, you’re nothing but a devil, how can there be someone as terrifying as you existing in this world? You black-hearted and corrupt wench, why don’t you just die..." The adopted daughter of her grandmother wished she could drink her blood and feast on her flesh. Because I've already died, haha, you're right, I’m a wicked ghost who crawled up from Hell. In my past life, I made a wedding dress for you, this life, I intend to take back everything that belongs to me, and by the way, crush you ruthlessly into the mud. "I should have strangled you the moment you were born, because you simply don’t deserve to live in this world, your blood is the filthiest thing on this planet…" Her biological father incessantly thought about how to kill her. Because my existence is the biggest shame in my father's life, but what can I do? I couldn’t choose where I was born, but I can choose how to live. Like a nail, I’ll be fiercely hammered into your heart. If I’m filthy, then what does that make you, the creator of me? "You're a freak, I'm going to call the police and have them lock you up in a mental hospital..." A little friend was filled with righteous indignation after accidentally seeing her true self. Shush, truly clever people know better than to speak out, because I can’t resist silencing them...permanently! My father is hypocritical, my grandmother feigns virtue, the mistress is venomous, and even her sister is courting death. Come one, come all, let’s settle our accounts, past and present! She's a noble socialite praised by everyone, a study goddess with off-the-charts intelligence, the ultimate idol with beauty and talent, a medical genius with a cool and wise mind… Her perfect acting could fool the whole world, yet those who hate her most know the truth—she is black-hearted, hypocritical, selfish, domineering, and madly obsessive. Look, this is the real her. ＊ Yan Song, the son of the mayor, poised and majestic, with an impressive and stunning presence, he is the dreamy youth every girl hides in her heart, as beautiful as jade and as fierce as the scorching sun. In public, he’s dashing and charming, in private, he’s cutting and sarcastic, arrogant and wild. A slam dunk photo of him from the basketball court went viral online, and netizens hailed him as the National School Hunk. Countless fans drooled over the only blurry photo of him available, calling him "hubby" with unrestrained joy. One day, the typically mysterious and low-key National School Hunk suddenly registered a Weibo account, and instantly masses of fans rushed there. ——I’m just here to say that I’m engaged and have a childhood sweetheart for a fiancée, so stop calling me your "hubby." It's reserved for her, and if you upset her, then I won’t be happy either. And if I’m not happy, no one will be. The fans refused to accept this, wailing, how could their idol already have a fiancée? And he’s so in love with her, that's just way too domineering... Ji Yunya: That's right, I am domineering. If you want to be my man, you have to be clean from top to bottom, inside and out, from your body to your name, even every strand of your hair must belong only to me. Otherwise, I won't be able to resist destroying it... Yan Song: My wife's obsession with cleanliness is incurable… But, I like it! From then on, a saying circulated in Jiangzhou, Master Yan dotes on his wife above all else. You can provoke anyone but Lady Yan, or else Master Yan will teach you how to be a person all over again in minutes. 1 vs 1, the tone of this work is pampering, pampering, pampering, written by someone with a fastidious streak, you get it, if you like it please bookmark it.

A new book is out: [Awesome Uncle: Sweet Wife, Be Pampered]. Luo Qingli thought her sudden-marriage husband was just a lawyer, only to find out he had multiple identities later on-scion of a wealthy family, mysterious CEO... In Luo Qingli's eyes, Gu Yuying is nothing but a refined rascal, inappropriately restrained and shrouded in a shadow of mystery—a wolf in sheep's clothing. Moreover, he is a lustful... wolf. "Uncle, let's get a divorce! You always leave me guessing. I don't feel secure." Luo Qingli turns around only to see Gu Yuying is unbuttoning his shirt. She exclaims, "Why are you taking off your clothes? And so... thoroughly..." Gu Yuying gives an evil smile, "Didn't you say you can't see through me, can't touch me? No worries, take a good look, touch freely... until you finally understand." Gu Yuying says: There's a poison in this world named Luo Qingli. Once you fall in love, you're addicted; once you start spoiling, it's impossible to stop. Luo Qingli says: Never, ever negotiate a divorce with a lawyer, or you’ll lose everything, not even leaving a trace behind.

The soft-spoken Xiao Qimo adjusts his glasses with pride. “Who else has something to say?” One of his subordinates raises his hand cautiously. “Master Mo, your wife seems to be the one who single-handedly destroyed the illegal laboratory.” Xiao Qimo looks at his wife who is quietly practicing calligraphy. “That’s impossible!” It isn’t until… During the general meeting for the International Elite Organization, both Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian wear a mask. They take the stage and succeed as the organization’s Chief and Deputy Chief, respectively. The Deputy Chief beside me looks like my wife. This is Xiao Qimo’s thought.

Su Jie, capable of traveling between Blue Star and the Cultivation World, discovered that cultivation was just too difficult. Spirit Pills, Magic Artifacts, Pocket Worlds, and inherent comprehension—each was a mountain on the long road to immortality. Not until Su Jie found out that Demon Cultivators refined corpses by killing, extracted souls to cultivate fiends, and used fear as sustenance for their cultivation. Need souls to consecrate a Soul Summoning Banner? Get to know the pig farms that slaughter millions of pigs a year. Need human fear to cultivate fierce ghosts? Stock up on ghost houses, horror films, and horror games... Need fresh blood for Demon Techniques? Across the ocean, America is the world's largest grey market blood transfusion station... ...... Years later. "You devil, how many people have you killed? And you still have the face to call yourself a good person? Pah, today I shall act on behalf of heaven to mete out justice." The Tianyuan World's most beautiful person's eyebrows were furrowed with rage, as she stared at the terrifying Devil before her, enveloped in wronged souls, with thousands of ghosts parading on his Soul Banner, seated in a palace made of bones, she posed her soulful question. The Devil slowly stood up and pulled out a business card that read "Hua Country's Philanthropist of the Year / Founder of the World's Largest Chain of Ghost Houses / Owner of Blue Star's Largest Livestock Slaughter Business / Emerging Tycoon of the Entertainment Industry." "You see, I'm really not a devil, okay? Nowadays, who still uses such a lowly method as killing people to cultivate as a devil!"

[Simulator+Cultivation+Farming Stream+Survival Stream] One day, through transmigration, Su Xing arrived in a data-centric high martial world. This world had extraordinary strong beings known as professionals, favored by the "heavens," who could level up and strengthen themselves by running dungeons and killing monsters. Su Xing changed his job to the hidden profession of Cultivator, but due to unknown reasons, he could not gain experience or level up like other professionals. Unable to level up, he could only cultivate... but in this era where Spiritual Energy was depleted and Cultivators were nearly extinct, even obtaining Spiritual Energy was a luxury. After four years in college, Su Xing was still a minor in the Qi Refining Stage, struggling even to graduate.

In such desperate circumstances, Su Xing chose to lie low and develop, cultivating Spirit Plants, concocting Elixirs, enhancing his Cultivation Level, improving the overall strength of the Human Race... He continuously strengthened himself through the simulator, becoming a hidden powerhouse, silently resisting the invasion of the Foreign Race... ps: This is a story about a simulator, leaning towards a careful survival strategy, farming development, and operating from behind the scenes...

“Master, Xingchen Zi said his master refined a treasure—a huge boat that flies in Heaven—and only his master knows how to do it. Is that true?” “It's true.” Cao Zhen glanced at the super-large flying peak beneath his feet and nodded. “Master, have you heard? The Jiao dragon on Azure Dragon Peak seems to have the potential to become a Golden Dragon!” "Just scoop up an Azure Dragon from our family's Fengshui pond and play with it. Don't interrupt me while I'm cooking." “Master, I've heard that...” “No matter what you've heard, go to my room and look around, everything... ah, wait a moment, let your senior sister come out first.”

Warning! 18+ CONTENT In a vast cultivation world teeming with power, ambition, and hidden bloodlines, a mysterious boy named Kai awakens in an ancient, multicolored eggshell—an event so miraculous, it defies the understanding of even the oldest cultivators. Naive, innocent, and blind to the dangers of the world, Kai is adopted as a disciple by Lin Bai, a struggling cultivator long stuck at the peak of Qi Refining Realm. But Kai is no ordinary youth. He possesses a mysterious system—invisible to others—that grants him the power to absorb beasts, gain experience, and learn techniques by unlocking hidden potential. As he rapidly advances through realms that take others years to reach, his existence begins to shake the very foundations of the sect. Meanwhile, Lin Bai, through her deepening emotional bond with Kai, undergoes a shocking transformation—breaking through to the Foundation Realm and awakening the rare Gravity attribute, a power never before seen in their world. As the bond between master and disciple evolves into something deeper, their presence draws attention—both envious and dangerous—from the cultivation world. Who is Kai, really? What divine or demonic force lies sealed within him? And why does the system call him Avian Devor, the last descendant in the multiverse? With destiny stirring, hidden powers awakening, and sect politics closing in, Kai and Lin Bai must walk a path where innocence, mystery, and power collide… and only the strongest hearts can endure.

In a world of cultivation where Righteous and Demonic paths clash like fire and water, there exists a youth of mysterious origin, Xie Wunian, bearer of an ancient bloodline from the Primordial Demon God. Once hailed as a direct disciple of a renowned orthodox sect, he was falsely accused of assassinating his master and seizing the sect’s sacred treasure. Branded a heretic, hunted by his fellow disciples, and betrayed by the one he trusted most, he plummeted into the abyss of Demonic Abyss Valley, a place where ten thousand wailing souls know no rest. There, his sealed bloodline awakened after seventeen long years. He uncovered the long-lost True Scripture of Demonic Dao, the Heavenly Blood Reincarnation Sutra. For a thousand days and nights, he endured torment amidst oceans of blood and hatred. And when he returned to the mortal realm, his body exuded boundless demonic might, his eyes hollow, his heart frozen over. Xie Wunian was no longer the innocent youth he once was. He sought no Dao. Followed no virtue. Pursued no justice. What he desired…was vengeance upon traitors, the shattering of Heavenly Law, the reversal of Yin and Yang, and the forging of a new order in the cultivation world, one shaped by his own will. From a forsaken boy… He rose to become the Founder of the Demonic Dao. “The world is but a chessboard… I am the player, the pawn, and the board itself. All beings, righteous or wicked, gods or demons, are but pieces in my game. I deceive them. I deceive the heavens. I deceive the earth. And most of all…I deceive myself. My Dao heart…is to have no Dao heart. Lies refined to truth. Truth twisted into illusion.” -Xie Wunian-

Li Yun was once Lin Chen, a modern martial arts enthusiast who dies suddenly and finds himself reborn as a frail twelve-year-old outer sect disciple in the Ironheart Sect, a minor faction within the vast cultivation realm of Qiandao. His new body is cursed with shattered spiritual roots and chronic illness. Everyone expects him to die before adulthood. But he refuses to surrender to fate. Armed with knowledge of human physiology, scientific methods, and modern martial arts, he devises ways to refine his fragile body: enhancing blood circulation, training muscle and breath, and slowly forcing open the gates of cultivation that should have been forever closed to him. In a world where strength dictates life and death, Li Yun becomes obsessed with a single goal: to survive long enough to step beyond mortality. He remains low-key, disguising his progress as he delves into countless disciplines—blacksmithing, alchemy, formations, beast taming—quietly laying foundations for a future no one suspects. Across centuries, he transforms from a dying boy into a hidden master whose name, whispered only in rumors, evokes both awe and dread.

In a world without day, where the sun is dead and monsters roam the blackened wilds, survival hinges on a single, brutal truth: if you do not bond your soul to an effigy, you will die. Sixteen years ago, Silas was torn from his old world and thrust into this ruinous city of a thousand starving souls, believing—naively—that transmigration had chosen him for greatness. But when his talent test brands him pathless and his mind collapses into madness, that hope dies. Now deemed useless by the clergy and society, Silas is left clinging to two things: a cursed second chance and the company of his two friends—Cassian, a rare Light-path prodigy, and Velira, a water-path orphan with more resolve than strength. When Silas undertakes the dangerous soul-refinement ritual, his effigy twists into something unnatural—part effigy, part monster What begins as a fight for survival becomes a descent into a deeper mystery: one that ties Silas’s unstable soul to forbidden relics sealed beneath the cathedral, hybrid monsters stalking the outer darkness With every refinement, every soul-splitting ritual, the cost grows heavier. And in a city where the clergy would sooner let you die than help you rise, Silas must decide: Will he follow the broken paths laid before him… Or carve a new one, even if it damns him?

But during one ordinary training session, everything changes—Leo suddenly sees passing lanes no one else can, angles of play invisible to even the most talented prospects. Yet, there’s a problem. His vision surpasses his ability. The passes he attempts don’t connect, his technique unable to match his newfound awareness. Coaches dismiss his efforts as sloppy, and his struggles continue. But one unexpected observer—a visiting League One assistant coach—notices something different. He watches Leo’s movements, seeing potential where others see failure. As Leo fights to prove himself in an unforgiving system, the question lingers—can he refine his raw talent before the club moves on without him? ****************************** Also, all rights reserved for the companies and teams and also players I use in the novel since I don't know how image rights work and I'm too lazy to search it up on Bing-, I mean google

But after 14 billion years of refining and quite a few more to go, he decides to entertain himself by releasing countless systems and watching how the creatures of this fledgling universe handle them.

--- Shattered Chains of the Fallen Emperor History sings of the savior’s flame, Legends whisper the tyrant’s name. But what of he who walks both threads— A crown of light, a soul that bled? In realms where gods bestow their grace, Where silence hides what truth can’t face, A golden heir begins his climb, Too praised, too pure, too bound by time. They call him Valen Veridian, bright— A warrior bathed in sacred light. Carved by blood, refined by pain, He walks the path with ghostly chains. To the world, he is hope's own song, But something deeper feels… all wrong. And far beyond the empire’s gleam, Where ashes choke the fading dream, Another rises from the night, With eyes that burn, not plead for light. Marcus Alderwood, cursed by name, No thirst for glory, no need for fame. He seeks no throne, no holy fight— Just one man standing in his sight. As fate begins its crueler art, Oaths will break and truths will start. The light may blind more than the shade, And gods may watch the roles they played. A reckoning comes not from the blade, But from the silence vows have made. Two heirs. One lie. A fate unkind— A hero… a villain… or both intertwined? But still, both sons of fallen skies Were born to break and meet demise. --- Shattered Chains of the fallen Emperor

[Demonic Path Cultivation + Cold-Blooded + Ruthless + Eerie Immortal Path] [Male protagonist is a regular man, has women but no main female lead.] Xu Sanyan, born as a horse bandit, understands the harsh truth that human life is as insignificant as grass. Kill, or be killed. To survive, he cuts off his compassion, unleashing his darkest self. For a single cultivation technique, he slaughtered a city and wiped out villages. For a spell manual, he cut down those he once cherished. From the "Blood Demon Corpse Refining Technique" to the "Soul-Condensing Ghost Art," his cold blade drips with countless lives. In a world like this, he knows reliance on others is futile. Xu Sanyan’s only desire is to wield his blade and cultivate his inner strength to claim the celestial fruits beyond the Nine Heavens. Translator's Note: if you think this story might be similar to Korean "Demon Sect" stories then be warned because the themes explored in this novel maybe too graphic and inappropriate for certain audiences. Although I have seen reviews on my previous novel (RDC) stating that it wasn't as demonic as the synopsis made it out to be. But since I am bringing this to you, I feel this is my responsibility to put in this disclaimer. Still in the beginning phases of translation, so I don't know how true the synopsis is to the story. If you do find it to your tastes don't forget to leave a 5-star review. Read ahead on Pa.treon@CindelTL

[You have become the master of the Warden Mansion.] [Your first quest is to refine mana from one of your maids by having intercourse with her.] [Current Quest: “The Dragon Guardian’s Predicament” – Aid Skytianeus, The Guardian of Dragons, and preserve the fragile balance between humans and dragons.] [Reward: Your mansion gains the power to travel between worlds.] Nineteen-year-old gamer Jett Talon awakens on an emperor‑sized bed to discover he now commands a mansion filled with exquisitely loyal and gorgeous maids. His first bond with Mia—an elegant elf who embodies every fantasy—ignites a storm of mana in his veins, crowning him Ruler of Heavens and Storm and unlocking the mansion’s ever‑deeper layers of magic and dungeon‑like rewards. But pleasure is only the gateway. As the new Warden, Jett must answer the summons of Skytianeus, a three‑millennia‑old dragon whose race faces extinction and open war with humanity. Taking the Guardian’s oath drags Jett into world‑spanning politics, Harbinger‑spawned catastrophes, and system quests that test strategy as fiercely as stamina. Now every passionate encounter grows his power, every awakened maid becomes a battlefield ally, and every choice tips the scales of an impending conflict. Erotica fuels the rise—but destiny demands a storm‑forged lord ready to defend two worlds, or see them both burn.
