Who has not heard? Who does not know? There is a story of two lovers that has travelled the Continent. It is said that in his innocent youth, Rexander Leonard had given his heart to a strong, kind-hearted maiden from the Blue Mountains, his motherland. As a young boy with nothing, not even a name, he left in search of purpose. Gifted by the gods, his extraordinary talent and unyielding ambition took him on a path to greatness. The haughty men that used to mock him bowed their heads before his brutal strength and righteous heart. Befitting of his monstrous powers he was named the King of Warlords, a title that has not wavered since the day it was received. As luck would have it, Temple Cordelia had decreed that the nameless orphan boy turned champion of the people, Rexander Leonard, was in fact the lost son of a legendary knight, Alvastor Thorne, a Duke of the Empire and the Lord of Valkore, who perished in battle two decades ago. Thus making Rexander Leonard, a Prince of the Empire, the rightful heir of Valkore and the only surviving member of House Bhukam, a once prestigious and powerful family that ruled in the time of the Old Empire. He truly had everything then. Everything, except his heart- his Angel he left in the Blue Mountains. Alas the tides of time are cruel, unforgiving in their acts and relentless in their motions. The Blue Mountains had been torn apart by savages many years before his return, and all that remained were blackened, crooked trees and hungry wolves making it uninhabitable to humans and a breeding place for darkness. This was a sad tale; A tragic story of two childhood lovers, what was Lost in the Blue Mountains. However, time is as such that when one tale ends another begins. No matter how true his love was, that urged him to still search for his Angel, a man of his standing could not avoid marriage forever. “I do.” Two simple words that brought them together. The red string of fate between Princess Rayni Rose of House Valaria and the King of Warlords, Rexander Leonard had been tied together before the eyes of god. “You do not choose who you love.” Sealed their fates. Or did it? Rayni Rose proposed two years of partnership for a lifetime of freedom, Rexander contently agreeing. Then began their tale of two years where they dreamt of restoring the dying wastelands of Valkore into the once prosperous Island it had been in the time of the Old Empire. Old tales, family secrets and love, all get tangled with adventure and ambition as Rayni and Rexander work together to bring Valkore back to life. Destiny smiles as they walk misleading paths on familiar land. What will time bring to light? Afterall, those bound by fate always meet.

MOUNTAIN SITTING IMMORTAL (MSI) A conduit of the great Dao happened to enter the grotto heaven called Earth. No one had been able to take ownership of this conduit for many years until Marvin came into contact with it.  Marvin met the requirement to use the conduit. This allowed him to begin his journey towards immortality.  The journey begins from transcending the first mortal coil at Body Forging to transcending the second at Energy Gathering, passing through the subsequent mortal coils, and hopefully to becoming a true immortal with eternal life. But the conduit is far more useful than helping a dying business tycoon gain another lease at life. It is also a conduit of great power.  This power and many more will be his as long as he continues to sit on his mountain and grows the mountain into a colossus. The mountain will bring him to greater heights and greater power.  This is the story of the Mountain Sitting Immortal. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

Have you ever wondered what a character in a novel or in a game should be? Do they eat? Sleep? Do they have their own life when you are not reading or playing? They do not. When you are not doing anything, we stay still. To be fair, think about your own life. Is it different from a game without a system? You can not see behind your back, similar to how a character has to render it in a game. But at least, you have your own life. While I have to watch the protagonist of the novel find his way into the pants of the female leads. This is my destiny. I'm not jealous. Not at all.

Rei, a young man trapped in a world different from his own, is reborn once again, with fragmented memories of past lives that are as elusive as they are painful. Marked by the injustice and contempt that haunted him in those existences, his soul holds a mixture of resentment and ambition. But this time, his determination has taken a course that is both dark and clear: he seeks to transform the world in his own way. In his mind, the idea of justice has lost all innocence; his desire for well-being is intertwined with a thirst for control and dominance. Rei is willing to do whatever it takes to build a reality that benefits him, no matter who he must subdue or how many battles he must fight. He is well aware that the task is a monstrous one, that his own vision may seem evil in the eyes of many, but that is irrelevant to him. The only thing clear to him is that the world will know his true strength and that, under his hand, traditional justice will be as obsolete as the past he seeks to leave behind.

In the mystical realm of Eldoria, a world nestled beneath the great, towering peaks of the Silverthorn Mountains, ancient secrets and untold magic thrive. The inhabitants of Eldoria, a vibrant tapestry of humans, elves, and dwarves, live in harmony, drawing their strength from the enchanted ley lines that flow beneath the earth. However, a tremor has disturbed the peace—a rift has opened, casting dark shadows over the once untouched valleys. The story follows Aric, a young cartographer with dreams of exploring the world beyond his village of Lynwood. Fascinated by the legends surrounding the Silverthorn Mountains, he often finds himself daydreaming about the hidden wonders that lie below their snow-capped summits. One fateful evening, while mapping the hidden caverns that surround Lynwood, he stumbles upon a hidden entrance that leads him deep into the heart of the mountains. As Aric descends into the cavernous world below, he discovers a realm of luminescent flora and fauna that thrive in the subterranean light. Here, he meets Althea, a spirited elf with an affinity for nature, who guards the ancient knowledge kept within this hidden sanctuary. Together, they uncover the truth about the rift—a sinister force known as the Umbral Shadow has emerged, seeking to erode the natural balance of Eldoria. As Aric and Althea venture deeper into this enchanted world, they encounter mythical creatures: wise old dragons that breathe magic instead of fire, mischievous sprites that can shift forms, and ancient guardians bound to protect the secrets of their realm. With each friendship forged and challenge faced, Aric learns the value of courage, friendship, and the importance of preserving the harmony of nature. The journey intensifies as rumors spread of the Umbral Shadow rallying its forces in an attempt to harness the ley lines for its own dark purposes. Aric must rally the inhabitants of Eldoria, bridging the divides between the different races. With Althea by his side, they inspire the dwarves of Ironclad Forge and the elves of Silverleaf Hollow to stand against the impending doom. In a climactic showdown, the heroes confront the Umbral Shadow in the Crystal Cavern, where the ley lines converge. Using their newfound alliances and the ancient magic of the land, Aric and Althea lead a united front to reclaim their world. In the throes of battle, Aric realizes that the map he has been creating is not merely a guide to the land, but a tapestry woven with the fates of all its inhabitants. Ultimately, the power of unity, courage, and hope triumphs over darkness. As the rift closes and peace is restored, Aric emerges from the mountains, his heart filled with a sense of purpose. He returns to Lynwood, not just as a cartographer, but as a hero destined to share the wonders and stories of Eldoria with generations to come. Friendship, unity, courage, the balance of nature, and the importance of understanding one another across differences. In "Below the Mountain," adventure beckons under the earth, and young heroes discover that true magic lies not only in power but in the bonds we forge along the way.

It was supposed to be a new beginning—fresh faces, towering mountains, and the promise of untamed horizons. But the world doesn’t always play fair. The snow-covered peaks held secrets, ancient whispers that pulled at the edges of reality. A frosted gaze, a frozen heart. A fleeting warmth that lingered, only to unravel. The air was heavy, the nights restless. I was unlucky. A quiet campus turned labyrinthine. Paths twisted into trails where footsteps vanished, and in the silence, shadows became more than just absence. Questions followed like echoes: What am I? What do I belong to? And why does the sky feel too close and too far all at once? A frostbite that never healed. A cliff's edge that wouldn’t let go. A hand reached out—divine or cruel? Each step forward pulled deeper into the unknown, where gods didn’t walk, but fragments of them did, fractured and wary, watching. The world isn’t broken; it’s just no longer whole. Beyond the mountains, among the clouds, lies a story unwritten, where reality bends and belief becomes the weight that anchors existence. But the question is simple: Can you bear the cold?
