Zarziyan - The Price of Ascension

A boy who has forgotten even his own name, hating humanity and its civilization that reeks of lies, is raised by the ruthless yet honest laws of the forest. For him, life is synonymous with survival; his philosophy is pragmatism, his weapon is raw instinct. This one-man kingdom is shaken by an ancient, moon-white tree he discovers in the heart of the forest. The spiritual fruits it offers promise a chance to "ascend," but the boy's nature is not to trust, but to test. This mistrust culminates in him witnessing the creation of a monstrous abomination (Yaoguai) when he experiments on an innocent animal with the pure, uncontrolled life energy (Qi). Forced to consume the fruit himself to defeat the beast, he is driven to the brink of madness, attaining a flawed yet overwhelming power through a Qi Deviation (Qi Zou Ru Mo). Unable to contain this new, wild power, his body pushes him to create his own hell. Without a master or a technique, guided only by pain and the will to survive, he begins a journey of superhuman Body Cultivation (Tixiū). His ultimate goal is not to accept the ancient tree as a gift, but to uproot it like a prize, to possess the very source of his power. The tree's mental assaults on him reveal fragmented memories of a manor in flames and a sorrowful lullaby, hinting that a personal tragedy lies at the root of his hatred for humanity. His journey takes him to the fringes of civilization, to the Thunderclap Peaks. Here, he chooses the Path of the Rock to tame his power and, in the process, makes his first contact with established Cultivator Sects who become aware of his existence. This encounter transforms him from a mere beast into a strategist who uses pawns for his own gain. "Zarziyan: The Price of Ascension" is not just a story of empowerment, but a saga of a lonely soul searching for his identity, confronting the ghosts of his past, and in the process, transforming from a monster to a king, and perhaps even to a god. It is the tale of a conqueror forging his own path with blood and steel in a world beyond good and evil, where absolute will and power are the only law.

Battle Of Palaces

They say the greatest discovery is born out of passion, and that was the spark of her journey. Linda Song, a modern day assistant at an elite auction house, stumbled upon an unexpected page in the inventory ledger, a page she had no recollection of ever seeing or creating. It described a relic renowned for its time-traveling ability in the past. Driven by curiosity to decipher if such a relic truly existed, and what secrets it holds if it does, she makes her way into the store-keep and to her greatest surprise, there it stood...just as it was described in the ledger. Bewildered by its beauty, and anxious to discover whether the relic truly held such abilities, or was it just another fallacy put together to attract the highest bidder, she sought to examine it. Linda carries the small stone under the sun rays filtering through the storeroom window to get a better view. Suddenly, it pulsed and a blue fluorescent light erupted from the relic, engulfing Linda. And in an instant, the modern world surrounding her vanished. She was no longer Linda Song but a maid within the Inner Palace of a rising dynasty, caught between ambitious concubines and a simmering political conspiracy. What mystery lies behind the stone and her sudden transmigration? Will she survive this new world she has come to know, and will her modern knowledge prove valuable or become her downfall? Why not embark on this journey with her... ************************** DISCLAIMER This work is purely fiction, all characters, setting and events are ideas of the author. if anything in it resembles something you know of, then it's purely coincidence. this is a multiple side character book with the main lead growing and developing subtly. if you are lover of slow burn fantasy books, hook in...you will love this .

I Got Caught in a Hero Summoning: Calm Life as a Plant Mage

23-year-old Eli Reed was just your average plant enthusiast—kind, charming, goofy, and passionate about greenery. Working at a local plant shop, Eli dreamed of one thing: a peaceful life surrounded by plants, eventually opening his own store to teach and share his love for botany. But fate had other plans. While out on a delivery run, Eli—and a group of nearby college students—were suddenly engulfed in a blinding light. When he opened his eyes, he was no longer on Earth. Summoned to a fantasy kingdom by a king and his daughters, Eli quickly realized something strange… he wasn’t supposed to be there. An accidental summon. Unlike the others, who were destined to become heroes and fight in wars, Eli wanted no part of chaos. Choosing peace over battle, he quietly slipped away from the capital and into the deep forest, where he stumbled upon the mythical World Tree. Making it his home, Eli began living the life he always wanted—calm, natural, and full of plants. But peace doesn't mean boredom. From crafting powerful potions and cultivating magical flora to getting swept up in wild adventures, Eli’s quiet life turns into anything but. He accidentally builds a reputation as the “Plant Sage of the Forest”, drawing attention from all walks of life—commoners, royals, demons, and even gods. Some come seeking help. Others come seeking peace. And a few come seeking… love. Eli’s quirky charm and gentle nature attract a diverse harem of women from all backgrounds—beastkin, elves, nobles, adventurers, and more—all sharing his dream of a tranquil life. But misunderstandings and bizarre coincidences constantly pull him into unwanted fame, dangerous adventures, political entanglements, and even the occasional monster invasion. Whether it's dealing with corrupt churches, ancient cults, or accidentally agreeing to a royal marriage, Eli somehow manages to stay true to his roots—literally. Through laughter, romance, and action-packed chaos, he might just become the greatest Plant Mage the world has ever seen... even if he never meant to be. Will Eli's second life bloom into the calm future he dreamed of? Or will his legend grow into something far beyond his wildest imagination?

In a world ravaged by a catastrophic event 39 years ago, humanity's remnants have clustered into fortified cities and bustling markets behind towering walls, using a mysterious power known as "Force" to fend off deadly creatures that emerged from the chaos. Among these survivors is a boy, a resident of a city hidden behind these walls. This boy lives a relatively peaceful life with his best friend until an unknown incident engulfs his city in flames, leaving it in ruins. The boy's best friend perishes in the catastrophe, and he himself suffers grievous injuries, seemingly fatal. Miraculously, despite being burned, crushed, and losing copious amounts of blood, the boy clings to life through sheer willpower and perhaps a deeper connection to the Force than he ever realized. Driven by a burning desire for revenge and answers, he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the destruction of his city and the forces at play. As he journeys through the dangerous lands outside the walls, he encounters allies and enemies, each with their own stories of survival and loss. The boy's life transforms as he learns to harness the true potential of the Force, facing trials that test his resolve and uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of the world and the catastrophe that changed it forever. His path of vengeance becomes one of discovery, leading him to confront the creatures and shadowy figures responsible for the devastation, and ultimately, to redefine his purpose in a world on the brink of another upheaval.
