Astral Merchant

Zen enters the forsaken forest to hunt a monster for its core, hoping to save his struggling town. With the help of a mysterious figure, he secures the core—but its secret could bring either salvation or doom. When the Knights come hunting, Zen is forced to flee, leaving everything behind. Now, in his pursuit of freedom, he must face the empire’s enforcers, unravel dark conspiracies, and fight for the survival of his people.

a calamity once shook the earth and made it seem like extinction of all was certain however amidst the ashes of destruction the earth sudden awakened a latent power which seeped out from its core, transforming the earth and it's inhabitants and granting humans miraculous powers called ABILITIES which were powered by the energy which humans had evolved to harness. plants and animals on the other hand continuously evolved into terrifying beasts with slight semblance to their weaker predecessors. Now, over 3000 years later a mysterious young boy surrounded by strange circumstances,a past shrouded in mystery , and an unusual aura surrounding him finds himself with a mysterious system and in the prestigious sentinel military academy now with a new unknown ally in the form of the system Zen is on a mission for so much more than he knows. will he succeed? especially with literal and figurative ghosts from his past coming back to haunt them and pieces of their mysterious past coming to haunt him? ( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

In the heart of the Azure Continent lies a legendary establishment known as Origin Mall. This extraordinary store offers goods beyond imagination: a sip of its cola can instantly replenish one's vitality; its spicy snacks grant the strength to overcome powerful foes; the games it offers can accelerate cultivation progress; and its novels impart profound techniques and insights. Origin Mall boasts a vast array of offerings, catering to leisure, entertainment, dining, and training needs alike. However, there’s one rule that all visitors must remember: never cause trouble in the store. The owner, though unassuming, is unimaginably powerful.

A new work from the author of 'Astral Pet Store', welcome to enjoy it! ———— In chaotic times, one seeks survival; in prosperous times, one seeks fame. Despite being weathered by the vicissitudes of life, the Great Yu Dynasty still found itself in an era of prosperity. In the northwest, a youth trekked nine thousand miles on foot, slaying the Great Demon alone to compete for a lifetime of glory. In Long Lake, an unmatched Grandmaster hurried to the mortal realm to establish a sect, leaving his name to be revered for a hundred generations. In the imperial capital, a saintly figure spread his teachings far and wide, with followers throughout Qingzhou, his legacy lasting forever. Yet within Qingzhou City, in the compound of a family with a long military heritage, there was a child who never engaged in serious pursuits, instead spending his days playing chess, painting, fishing, and playing the zither. Years later— …… When the sword rose, dragon smoke stretched for three thousand miles, and a single strike wiped out the cities of nine provinces! Among all the laws of the world, only I, have entered the path. …… 【Light-Hearted Humor】【Martial Path Panel】【Art Master】【Scheming】

—¿Qué puede no gustarme de mi nueva vida después de transmigrar a un mundo centrado en mascotas? Hay criaturas poderosas de todas formas y tamaños. Pueden ser compañeros mimosos, ayudantes en tu vida diaria, exploradores audaces o luchadores fuertes. O todas las anteriores. No está mal, ¿eh? Tengo una familia, pero el hecho queda completamente eclipsado por mi hermana menor —dijo él—. Ella me odia profundamente, y se asegura de que lo sepa. Todos. Los. Días. —¿Mencioné que ella es asquerosamente talentosa mientras que yo soy un fracasado? Uno terriblemente guapo, eso sí. Tengo carta blanca para dirigir el negocio familiar por mi cuenta. Una pequeña y pintoresca tienda de mascotas. Habría sido genial si no fuera por el hecho de que el dueño anterior de este cuerpo nació con CERO afinidad para manejar Mascotas Astrales... No sería una transmigración adecuada sin un truco o un sistema para allanar mi camino hacia la grandeza, ¿no crees? Tengo uno, pero no sé si estaría mejor sin él... ¡Bienvenido al Mundo de las Mascotas Astrales!"

A frail and often ill son of a wealthy merchant unexpectedly embarked on the path of cultivating immortality while seeking a way to prolong his life! During the Tang Dynasty's Golden Age, the world was at peace, the climate was favorable, and the people lived in tranquility. One thousand years later, demonic beings devoured the sky, demonic ghosts rampaged, and sorrow-filled cries resonated everywhere. The Journey to the West reappeared, the Great Sage fought against the heavens, the Heavenly Stem descended to the mortal world, reincarnating anew. Mysterious transmigrations and reincarnations, reality and illusions intermingling, truly extraordinary! Is it just a dream predicted in the prophecy? Or a reality that has yet to occur? Can he eradicate the predestined demonic barrier, eliminate the catastrophes of the Three Realms that have yet to occur, and save the people from utter destruction?

I thought being laid off from my job was the greatest of my worries but I just had to wake up in a ship's cockpit after my space game crashed. Now I have no map, no friends and no money. But that's ok, I've started from the bottom before! With my starter ship I will scour through space as a Mercenary and maybe even start up a Mercenary Company while I'm at it! This ain't my first rodeo in space after all! Except... Apparently my crew members are weird? The guy who bumped into me yesterday was found sliced up and floating outside the space station. The girl who tried to honeytrap me was reported missing with only a finger found in an alley. And then that merchant who scammed me had his entire ship blasted into bits by unknown vessels the very next day. Some people say my crewmates were behind it but they must be mistaken, right? I only know one thing for sure... In space, no one can hear you scream... *** Notes: Any R-rated scenes will be denoted by a '*' followed by an 'R' with the number of 'R's showing how much of it is R-rated.

Coming back from the magic world, Riya rebuked her shameless stepmother. She was back to her first life with the world treasure and thought that her life would be smooth sailing. But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ??? Ah, Riya silently swore to secretly become stronger to deal with these magic beasts that went on rampage. She would use her runes to make a better life while watching the world recover from the destruction. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. Her best friend’s brother suddenly locked his attention on her. “Ah, ah, ah, you don't have to mind me….” “The runes you make are really interesting. Can you show me more?” The man smiled and stepped closer. “I…I can, but can you please not come too close?!” Riya just wanted to meditate silently, so how did she suddenly attract this big boss’s attention? ...

In a world where Science meets the Arcane, a time where the surreal bridges upon the factual, an Era in which the physical and metaphysical unify against one common threat. This threat can be seen anywhere, from outside the cottage of a man who struggles with his own isolation, shouting "I cannot be taken yet, for hope has not deserted me!!!" or in the tranquil embrace of nature, where a young man lives among the roots and vines thinking "The Mother of Roots will surely save me", only to find themselves vanished anyhow. Whether meek or the pinnacle of excellence all seems to fade when the "Outers" walk the soils. Explore the world of Alter-Grey in all its facets and uncover mysteries beyond comprehension, knowledge so pure that you might as well be fiction in its suffocating truths, sometimes curiosity is not sated only to kill the cat, but instead uses it to unravel everything. So I ask you this, are you curious enough to brave the Outer? Are you strange to the ways of man or are you mundane? either way I suppose it doesn't really matter. Join a select few Astrals on this journey and see how far the strings of fate take you.

Sixteen year-old Dylan Mercer was dying until he stole a cure from NovaGen, the biotech giant that established in Claiborne county and promised the society to offer medical miracle. But their “miracle” came with a catch: tons of deadly side effects from an ancient, otherworldly source. Now, Dylan’s veins hum with a primeval code that isn’t human. His hands crackle with energy that could level cities. And NovaGen wants their property back. As hunters close in and the alien code rewrites his mind, Dylan must choose: surrender the weapon festering inside him… or let it burn. But some forces aren’t meant to be controlled and this one hungers to raze the world that created it. A dying boy’s theft becomes a celestial storm. Can he outrun his cure—or is he the disaster?

Fast forward almost 10 years later, and the demon known as Belial discovers a method to break free from his confinement. Emerging into what appears to be an idyllic new world, Belial is filled with hope, perceiving it as a true paradise.

Centuries after the collapse of the old world order, a new era has risen with the emergence of Espers, the arrival of Spirit Beasts, and the discovery of Astral Energy. At the heart of this transformed world lies the Pit—a vast, treacherous abyss where the remnants of the old world have been consumed by Astral Energy. Within its depths, Spirit Beasts roam, and those known as Rankers venture inside, seeking Astral Shards—valuable fragments of power that bring wealth, fame, and glory. Among them is Ashlar Kain, a low-level Ranker with a secret ambition: to reach the bottom of the Pit. According to legend, the one who reaches the Codex, hidden in the abyss’s deepest layer, will have their greatest wish granted. However, Ashlar is no ordinary Ranker—he possesses a mysterious system that awakened his Psychic abilities at a young age. Bound by the system’s cryptic will, he has concealed his true strength while methodically climbing the ranks. But fate takes a sharp turn when Ashlar stumbles upon a violent clash between a Legacy family and a rogue organization, both fighting over a mysterious child. Forced to unveil his hidden power to protect the child, he unwittingly draws the attention of the Legacy families—beings of immense psychic power who rule the world from the shadows. Now thrust into a conflict far greater than he ever imagined, Ashlar must navigate the perilous world of Rankers, Legacies, and unseen forces—all while uncovering the secrets of his system, the true nature of the Pit, and the fate that awaits him at its depths.

In the galaxy of Shunya, where astral energy reigned supreme, war was the natural order. Middle and low-level worlds clashed endlessly, each striving to break the elusive Level 25 cap, a threshold that only a rare few could surpass. What began as small skirmishes, driven by greed and necessity, soon spiraled into full-scale wars. Empires bled, kingdoms burned, and cities crumbled to dust. But when conquest within a world was no longer enough, warriors turned their gaze outward, invading distant realms, subjugating worlds, and harvesting the astral cores of beasts and humans alike. For those who sought power, the path forward was paved in blood. And amidst the carnage, something unnatural was born. From a sea of blood, an Entity awakened, adrift in a world of war, with no memory of his past or identity. Accompanied by a wolf and an old man, he set forth on a journey to uncover the truth, unknowingly carrying the power to reshape the fate of worlds.

Disclaimer: This novel is a cliché Suggestion: If you like (Slice Of Life) with wonderful parents and survival, this is for you. *** Like every (Isekai) protagonist, I got reincarnated after getting hit by a hyper-speed truck. That was an empty and dark life anyway, so I was already looking forward to a decent, unknown afterlife. But... the world had a unique thing in mind. In this new world, I had parents, amazing ones at that. My father was a talented mage, and my lovely mother was a sharp and cunning merchant. Ignoring all of my weirdness, they loved me unconditionally. This was the life that anyone would love. Eating and cooking delicious food, practicing archery and magic, and playing with my parents. Everything was wonderful until... those demons separated us and it left me in a ferocious forbidden forest, just to be eaten alive by beasts. But dying wasn't even a question. I will go back… to them. * The novel cover is not mine. https://discord.gg/ExYHhhv4mn Still lacking but, join if you want~! The update will be mostly 1Ch/day.

ExoGenesis follows the journey of Kaelen Voss, a renegade scientist whose obsession with quantum reality leads him to the discovery of the Multiversal Construct—an artifact capable of fracturing the fabric of reality and bending time itself. As he unlocks the potential of this enigmatic relic, he inadvertently triggers a series of events that threaten not only his own world but the very nature of the multiverse. In a galaxy where interstellar empires—The Coreward Dominion, the Astral Hegemony, and the Celestial Concord—vie for dominance, Kaelen’s discovery draws the attention of powerful factions, each eager to harness the power of the Multiversal Construct for their own agendas. But the relic’s true nature is far more complex than anyone realizes, and its influence stretches far beyond mere political power. As Kaelen unravels the mysteries of the Construct, he encounters new and dangerous entities, including the Zenith Pact, an ancient order whose existence was thought to be a myth, and The Merge, a being beyond comprehension, whose dark motives threaten the balance of existence itself. Alongside Kaelen is a ragtag crew of explorers, mercenaries, and rogue scholars who are drawn into the battle for control of the multiverse. With each passing moment, the stakes rise—dimensions collide, timelines fracture, and Kaelen’s very existence is called into question. As he journeys deeper into the fabric of the cosmos, he must grapple with profound metaphysical questions: What does it mean to exist across multiple realities? How far will he go to unravel the truth, and what is the cost of knowledge?

The wheel of fate has begun to turn—the final battle between light and the Abyss is about to unfold. On the Astral Continent, every soul’s destiny is written by the stars, and the Twenty-Eight Star Guardians uphold the balance of the heavens and earth. Yet now, darkness encroaches upon this land—the Legion of Dusk has risen. They worship the power of the Abyss, hunting down the Star Guardians in a relentless bid to overturn the order of the world. Adrian Jiao—heir to the Azure Dragon Constellation, once the pride of his family. But in a single night, his home was reduced to ashes, his kin slaughtered, and his once-beloved elder brother, Calem, succumbed to the Abyss, becoming the commander of the Legion. Forced into exile, Adrian was left with nothing but grief, rage, and a thirst for vengeance. Yet when the chains of fate shattered, his dormant bloodline awakened—the Jiao Spear emerged, and the power of the Azure Dragon was reborn! However, vengeance is only the beginning. The world is far more treacherous than he ever imagined. The Legion of Dusk’s sinister plot—a scheme that threatens the very stars. The betrayal of the Fallen Stars—a deception hidden between light and shadow. The gathering of the Four Guardian Beasts—a legacy buried in history. The loosening of the Abyssal Gate—a lock that binds another world. Destiny is not absolute—it can be defied. When the Azure Dragon Spear is unleashed, the very heavens shall tremble! Yet when the truth is unveiled, Adrian will come to realize—light and darkness were never truly opposed. The fate of the stars had been bound to the Abyss all along. Light is not always pure. Darkness is not the end. As the Azure Dragon Spear is raised once more, he will forge his own path and reshape this shattered world.

Twilight, hailed as the Eternal Soul Monarch, had devoted his entire existence to cleansing evil from the lawless cultivation world. After millions of years spent hunting and battling, the forces of darkness were finally pushed back and eradicated. But as Twilight’s lifespan approached its inevitable end, he made a fateful choice—to reincarnate into the future, where a golden age was prophesied to unfold.

Yet, in his darkest moment, a reason to live revealed itself. Chosen as one of the sovereign system holders, Twilight was granted an opportunity to prove himself. With sufficient potential, he could earn the highest privileges, rise to the rank of seeker, and represent humanity in the Astral Realm—a game-like world filled with mythical races, limitless resources, and boundless opportunities. Follow Twilight as he ascends to the apex of the Astral Realm, dominating players and rivals alike while gradually piecing together the shattered fragments of his past life, becoming a legendary figure in all worlds. --- - 100 Power stones for 2 bonus chapters.

En un mundo donde el poder decide el destino, un joven condenado por su sangre desafiará las leyes del cielo. Yan Chao fue un prodigio: con solo siete años rozó la cima del rango Iniciado, algo que tomaba décadas para otros. Pero el destino lo traicionó. A los doce años, su cuerpo rechazó el camino del cultivo tradicional, convirtiéndose en el hazmerreír de su propio clan, la poderosa familia Yan. Expulsado y abandonado en el Bosque de los Susurros Malditos, un lugar donde incluso los maestros cultivadores temen entrar, Yan Chao descubre que su «fracaso» no era casualidad: su sangre es un legado ancestral que trasciende las leyes de Xan Nao, un linaje estelar condenado al olvido. Al borde de la muerte, un encuentro en el plano astral le revela la verdad: su sangre Estelar Antigua es incompatible con el mundo que lo rechazó. Equipado con técnicas prohibidas —como el Ojo del Caos, que le permite ver el nivel de cultivo de cualquier ser y detectar tesoros ocultos—, Yan Chao inicia un viaje para reclamar su lugar entre las estrellas. Pero cada paso despierta peligros mayores: bestias ancestrales, artefactos con conciencia propia y figuras en las sombras que vigilan su crecimiento... ¿Podrá Yan Chao dominar el poder de su sangre antes de que su clan lo elimine? ¿Qué secretos esconde el linaje Estelar, y por qué alguien selló su potencial? En un mundo donde la traición y la ambición son tan comunes como el qi, Yan Chao no solo luchará por venganza: luchará para reescribir las reglas de la existencia misma.

Two friends. One mysterious 'System'. A second chance at life. Adrian and Marcus never expected to die young. Yet, when they awaken in a cosmic void, a voice gives them a compensation deal: reincarnation in a brand-new world, with their memories and sense of being intact. Given a finite pool of Karmic Points, they must carefully choose their advantages, their starting position, and even the world itself where they will be reborn. Adrian—ever the strategist—opts for long-term gain, while Marcus, impulsive and bold, just craves excitement. Together, they make a fateful decision: they will be reborn as a minor noble brothers in the Azura Federation, a land of shifting allegiances, merchant-noble, and cutthroat politics. When the time comes to spend their last remaining Karmic Points, Marcus proposes a radical gamble: rather than buying minor advantages, they sacrifice everything for unrestricted access to the System’s hidden exchange mechanics. The deal is struck—but at a cost they don’t fully understand. Now, as they navigate a world of noble houses, military conflicts, and hidden agendas, Adrian and Marcus must use every advantage at their disposal to not only survive this life—but to try finding a way of securing their place in the next cycles of life in the far future. What happens if they fail? If their Karmic points reach zero when they die in this new life they are about to embark? The System refuses to say. With magic, danger, and unseen cosmic forces lurking in the shadows, the two must play the ultimate game of strategy. But as they rise, one other question always looms over them: Did they even have a chance to break the System… or did the System merely just trap them in an even deeper game?
