Among the professional strategy warfare gamers on earth, Lin Qian easily emerged as the strongest within the industry. After all, there weren’t many who could defeat a perfect example of a hardcore casher! With a twist of fate, the extravagant gamer left the world in an unfortunate accident. Leaving behind his wealth, he was transmigrated. In this new world, Lin Qian had absolutely nothing he could be proud of. As an alchemist, his brewing pot exploded. As an iron welder, cast-iron turned scrap metals. Not to mention, his dismal talents extended to spiritual arrays and beyond. Besides his slightly above average talent in cultivation, he did not possess anything else that had even a slight semblance to a talent. Yet, life was not all bleak. On one fateful day, he discovered a revolutionary change. The mega-empire which dominated the gaming servers, the very land which he reigned over as emperor, had followed him through his transmigration. Not just so, the invulnerable generals, lieutenants, and the million men army had escaped the realm of mere codes and gained the breath of life. Now, as living beings, they swore their allegiance and lives to him, their Peerless Emperor.

In the forgotten cracks of a world that remembers only heroes and legends, two souls meet where the light doesn’t reach. Xiao, the famed courtesan of a hidden pleasure house, was raised to smile, serve, and never be seen for more than his beauty. Sujin, a quiet cultivator from a lesser-known Lan clan, walks into the wrong room—and ends up unlocking a past neither of them knew they were chained to. He was sold. He was silent. They both dreamed of being someone else. But in the shadows of grand sects and fading myths, a bond begins to form—not of glory, but of quiet rebellion. And in that rebellion, something stolen becomes something sacred. Author’s Note : This story was born from silence—of the forgotten, the unheard, and the shadows behind legends. Though set in a world that resembles ancient cultivation realms, "Borrowed Nights" is not a fanfiction, nor is it an imitation. It is my own voice, told through characters who never had one— A broken courtesan. A quiet cultivator. Two fading echoes in a world that only remembers the loudest heroes. I’ve always admired stories like The Untamed and MDZS, but this tale is my own creation, shaped with a different ache, a different depth. Thank you for walking into the wrong room with them. Maybe... something right is waiting inside.

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady.

We found them dead on the 3rd of May. To be honest, I'm still surprised they held out for more than a week. They were just students after all. In that sense, their action were remarkable, if only for their folly. Although, seeing what they released into this world, I probably shouldn't praise them too much. Well, whatever. Cleaning up this mess is now up to us. Just as it's always been.

(Chapters 1 to 40 are being edited right now) (Note: Reading Prologue is not necessary, hence why it's an Auxiliary Chapter) The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope. Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation. He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it.

Leonard lived a quiet, ordinary life — caring for his siblings, working at a forgotten bookstore, and enduring the weight of a family fractured by abandonment. But everything changed the day he found a black leather book — untitled, uncredited, and without any record of its existence. From that moment on, sleep ceased to be rest. It became punishment. Night after night, Leonard is pulled into a warped world where reality bleeds beneath crimson moons and ancient horrors lurk in the shadows. A place where time bends, death walks freely, and hope withers in silence. What begins as a nightmare slowly reveals itself as something deeper — a memory that isn’t his… but remembers him. As the line between dream and waking life begins to erode, Leonard must uncover the truth behind the book, the visions that haunt him, and the unseen force watching from beyond the veil. Because not all dreams are made up. Some dreams are doors. And certain doors, once opened, can never be closed.

Arrogant. Manipulative. Worthless. Despite all the numerous qualities that work for him, he’s still worthless because he had no talent. No saying this would be a lie, because he, in fact, did have talent: talent of will - an indomitable will; talent of the mind - quick-witted and cunning. Still, even with these talents that he made on his own, rejecting destiny, he couldn’t do anything else. In order for ‘fate’ to be at ease, it put him on the battlefield - sure of his death. Forced onto the battlefield and using his cultivated talents, he earned the title of ‘Reaper’, bringing death to all who approached. He was the most decorated soldier to ever be; however, he lost his value. The talent he worked for, which gave him value, was now used as there was no war to fight. Now in the street of men and women, he walked the path of a beggar….drunkard. Somehow, seducing women and harboring their hate after. Unbeknownst to him, during his now routine course of harboring a woman’s hate, he received an opportunity that only the luckiest would receive. He received the True God Emperor System, something fate denied him - but the planes willed. Lacking nothing, wanting nothing is how he shall live from this day forth.

When she awakens, traces of those dreams remain, leaving her bewildered and terrified. Jill Andrew grew up as a lonely child. Her parents were rarely present, as they frequently travelled. In their absence, she was looked after by the housekeeper, Anna Cole, whom she learnt to see as a mother figure. Anna was the only constant in her life, as her parents were often absent.
