Derek Hale Beard

I Dreamed of Cultivation... and Got Homework Instead! “Ah, reincarnation into a xianxia world! Time to wield swords, shoot qi bullets, and become the overlord of the heavens!” At least, that’s what Lin Mao thought would happen. Instead, he woke up in a scholar’s robe, surrounded by ink-stained fingers and people debating... philosophy. “This isn’t the path to immortality! This is the path to finals!” Now Lin Mao has to navigate his life in the prestigious Sky Moon Sect, where flying on swords is nothing but a dream. The only thing flying is debates and enlightenment that comes from philosophy, not martial arts. Instead of fighting demonic beasts, he's fighting grumpy senior brothers, mysterious sect elders, and his master that has a.......long beard. “Who needs qi cultivation when you have the ‘Path of Society’? What does that even mean?! And why does everyone here hate jokes?!” Filled with nothing but Earth’s most degenerate novels, his unhinged personality, and his special ability to accidentally piss people off, Lin Mao is determined to shake up the scholar world. He might not be a cultivator, but who says he can’t make being a scholar legendary? “This isn’t the dream I signed up for, but whatever. If they are going to make me study, I’ll do it my way!” **** This novel will be story-focused, blending humor, character development, and world-building. However, it will also include R18 elements with detailed smut for those who enjoy a little spice in their story. You’ve been warned!

--- He has no past. No name. No identity. Only whispers of a shadow that bends the world to its will. A ghost with no face, yet a force that has already orchestrated 58,221,461 deaths. Entire nations have fallen, yet no one knows who pulled the strings. But when his very existence becomes a threat to the world itself, the gods take notice. Among them, a goddess, sensing an impending despair beyond even her comprehension, makes a desperate decision—to erase him from reality before it is too late. But something goes wrong. Instead of being destroyed, he is cast into another world, one ruled by magic, war, and divine will. Yet even gods are not beyond his reach. Here, he awakens without a past, without a name—only the weight of an existence that should not be. His mind is empty, his history erased. But in the void of his lost memories, one image remains: A woman’s headless corpse, bathed in blood. And a single, unshakable truth—she was his mother. There is no name, no face, no history. Only the weight of something forgotten—something terrifying. Then, the world gives him a name. Hale. But deep inside, he knows—it isn’t his. It never was. From the moment he appears, fate convulses, reality bends, and the world itself recoils in fear. Why? Who is he? What did he forget? In a realm where power bends to those who grasp it, he does what he does best—control everything from the shadows. But something lurks in the depths of his mind. A missing truth. A lost identity. And a question more terrifying than the gods themselves. Who... or what... is he? ---

Shame on the person who finds joy only in hurting others. Pity the one who kills without mercy and calls it justice. Uranus Hale—Norway's most feared serial killer—has finally met his match. With hundreds of lives taken by his own hands, his luck has run out. Cornered in a bakery with 25 hostages, the police wait outside, ready to end his crimes. Hale knows what’s coming. A trial means certain execution. Rather than let the government take his life, he chooses to end it himself. The explosion ripped through the bakery, fire burning his skin. Pain filled his body, and then—darkness. But his story wasn’t over. Hale wakes up in a strange place, in a new body—the Slave Master, a crazed leader of a violent cult in another world. At first, it feels like a second chance to live out his evil desires. But this world doesn’t allow villains to thrive. If Hale wants to survive, he must face the consequences of his actions. Change won’t be easy, and the heroes of this world will stop at nothing to destroy him if he stays on the same path. What seems like another chance to do harm may turn out to be his ultimate punishment. Will he learn to be better, or will he face an end even worse than death?

Alec has one goal: escape the suffocating walls of the orphanage that has been his prison for most of his life. With his fifteenth birthday looming, he counts the days until he can finally break free. But Alec's escape plan takes an unexpected twist when he begins to experience vivid, otherworldly visions—visions of three mysterious men, each more powerful and enigmatic than the last. One man is perched on a cloud, his wild white beard and lightning-charged eyes crackling with energy, promising a force unlike any Alec has ever known. Another is calm, his tranquil demeanor belying the tempest that simmers beneath the surface, his presence both soothing and deadly.

And what does being their vessel truly mean? As Alec struggles to understand the visions that haunt him, he is faced with a choice: embrace the power these men offer, or continue fighting for freedom from the only life he's ever known. With his birthday fast approaching and the pressure mounting, Alec must decide whether to accept a fate far stranger—and more dangerous—than anything he could have imagined. A life of power, or one of freedom? The choice could change everything.
