Common Summary: A common modern man finds himself in an immortal cultivation world right after his death. Armed with a sect system to assist him on this difficult journey, he is shocked to discover that the elders summoned by the system are, in fact, avatars of himself. Determined to take things one step at a time and enjoy his new life, he makes a decision: "I’ll leave the problems to my avatars, and I’ll cultivate in peace." ---------------------------------- Xianxia Summary: Are your cultivation techniques of high quality? Then check out the almost-perfect techniques my avatar created! The best quality golden core is the extreme first-grade core? Then look at my extreme first-grade core! The usual tribulation for geniuses has 9 lightning bolts? Mine does too! I don’t have a perfect foundation, so if the heavens send more lightning, I’ll sue them! Common protagonists take an elixir that should make them rise 9 levels, but they only rise 1 because of their perfect foundation? Then I’ll take it and rise 10 realms, because my foundation is almost-perfect, not perfect. While other protagonists struggle in one realm to reach perfection and fight a level higher, I’m already 4 realms ahead. ---------------------------------- PS: There is no other protagonist besides the MC. In this summary, the protagonists mentioned are only from the works he read in the modern world. PS2: I try to include explanations and descriptions of each realm and other aspects of the world, but they will only appear when the MC interacts with them or reaches that realm. PS3: The avatars don’t have much focus in the beginning, but in later chapters, they will get more and more screen time. PS4: Almost reaching the last console. PS5: I made it! ---------------------------------- The story will also be available on RR, under the same title and author pseudonym.

Mordain had always been an outcast in a world dominated by humans with magical cores and beasts. Born without a magical core or any discernible speciality, he was shunned by society and deprived of all meaningful interaction. However, after an unfortunate incident led to his death, he found himself transmigrated into the body of Liam—the so-called glorious child rumoured to possess every Speciality. The truth, however, was far from the legend. Luam had only one true Speciality: Swordmaster. Everything else had been a lie! The five-year-old had successfully deceived the world into believing he was extraordinary, aided by a fake magic core that allowed him to briefly mimic a Speciality and wield it for a limited time.

When God abandoned the universe to ascend beyond even Heaven, He left behind a final gift for His children—The System. A divine framework to help humanity survive the chaos to come. But survival came with a price. The world fractured, merging with realms of monsters, demons, and ancient horrors. The System began sorting souls—granting power to the worthy, and turning the unchosen into corrupted husks. Kael Riven was born without a seed of Spark—the divine light required to be seen by the System. He was never meant to receive a Class. Never meant to live. But everything changes when a dying fallen angel crashes into his life and offers him an unholy pact. Now, Kael carries a forbidden flame, bound to Seraphiel—an exile from Heaven. The System tries to delete him… but fails. Assigned an illegal Class—Pactbearer of the Forsaken Light—Kael becomes an anomaly in the eyes of angels, demons, and the universe itself. Hunted by Heaven’s enforcers and surrounded by corruption, he must navigate a world unraveling at the seams—where divine law is no longer absolute, and survival means defying the very framework of creation. The divine order is breaking. And Kael may be the key to rewriting what comes next.

Dr. Elian Vael died in a quantum experiment gone wrong. He woke up in a world where warriors command power through will—where strength is everything, and instinct rules.

A scientist reborn. A second chance. A new kind of martial arts begins.

In a world where assassins and bounty hunters thrive under the shadows of global corruption, Asahi Kuragari was nothing more than a timid errand boy for the infamous S-Rank Squad No.5. But everything changed the day he was betrayed—left to die during a covert mission beneath the ruins of an ancient Genesis Core facility. When the cores detonated, they didn’t kill him. They transformed him. Now reborn as Hollow Fang, a ruthless specter clad in black flame and vengeance, Asahi walks the path of retribution. With powers that defy the natural order and a resolve carved in blood, he sets out to dismantle the twisted underworld that cast him aside—one corpse at a time.

In his previous life, he was a master strategist, a war general feared for his genius, but betrayal ended his reign before his time. Now, he awakens in complete darkness—trapped, immobile, and… no longer human. Reincarnated as a Dungeon Core, the heart of a newborn dungeon, he must now navigate a world where survival is dictated by power, mana, and the strength of the monsters under his control. With the Dungeon System guiding him, he learns to shape his domain, summon creatures, and set deadly traps to lure in adventurers seeking fortune and glory. But this world is far more dangerous than he expected. Rival dungeons seek to devour him, empires send their champions to destroy him, and the gods themselves whisper in the shadows, watching his every move. To survive, he must evolve his dungeon into something beyond what this world has ever seen—a fortress of nightmares, an empire of monsters, and a force that even the gods will fear. The war for survival has begun. The world sees him as an abomination, a mindless entity to be erased. But they have made one fatal mistake… They think he has no mind. They think he cannot plan. But even as a Dungeon Core… he remains a strategist. And this world? It is now his battlefield.

In Neo-Pandora, 2247 time is a fragile commodity. The invention of the Temporal Engine granted humanity glimpses into the past and future—but at a catastrophic cost. Reality itself has begun to unravel, splintering into fractured timelines that bleed into the present. Amidst the neon-lit chaos of this dystopian metropolis, Detective Elias Voss, a disgraced chrono-physicist turned private investigator, survives by solving cases tied to temporal anomalies. Haunted by a failed experiment that scarred him with the ability to see time’s fractures, Elias walks the razor’s edge between the past’s ghosts and the future’s shadows.  When Dr. Lila Kane, a desperate Temporal Institute scientist, begs for his help, Elias is thrust into a conspiracy that threatens to erase Neo-Pandora from existence. A rogue experiment has unleashed a time rift fueled by the Fractured Hourglass, a mythical artifact rumored to hold dominion over time itself. As Elias and Lila race to stop the rift, they uncover a chilling truth: the Hourglass is merely a fragment of the Chrono Core, an ancient power capable of rewriting history—or erasing it entirely.  But the Core’s secrets are guarded by shadowy forces. From the neon-drenched underworld to the Institute’s ivory towers, Elias confronts rogue time travelers, paradox-born monsters, and his own fractured memories. Every step closer to the Chrono Core warps reality further, forcing Elias to question what—or who—is truly real. As the rift consumes the city, he must decide whether to repair time… or shatter it to save humanity Will Elias Voss outrun the ghosts of his past, or will time itself become his greatest enemy?  The Chrono Detective is a high-stakes journey through a collapsing world where every second counts—and every choice could doom reality itself. 

The devil has three rules. The first—never defy his orders. The second—never seek his face. The third—never try to leave. Elias learned these rules the moment he was sold. Born an Omega to a disgraced noble house, his future had never been his own. When his parents’ debts grew too steep, they handed him over as payment to the most feared Alpha in the kingdom—the Lord of Ravenspire. No one who enters Ravenspire ever leaves. No one has ever seen its master’s face and lived to tell the tale. Wrapped in shadows and whispers, he is known only as The Devil—a warlord, a monster, a man whose very name makes kings tremble. For years, Elias survived by keeping his head down, obeying the rules, and enduring the cold isolation of the keep. But when The Devil appoints him as his personal scribe, his world shifts. The unseen master who once seemed like a ghost begins to feel unnervingly real. A hand brushing too close. A voice low enough to send shivers down his spine. A presence that lingers even when unseen. And then there is the door at the end of the hall—the one no servant dares approach, the one locked tight as if guarding a terrible secret. Elias knows he should follow the rules. He knows he should never look. But curiosity is a dangerous thing. Because the moment he breaks the second rule… The Devil starts watching him back.

Di luar batas pemahaman, melampaui konsep realitas dan ketiadaan, ada satu entitas yang bahkan tidak bisa disebut ada—Xalveth. Dia tidak diciptakan, tidak berevolusi, dan tidak memiliki tujuan. Namun, keberadaannya sendiri mengguncang tatanan absolut yang selama ini dianggap tak tergoyahkan. Ketika para entitas tertinggi mencoba memahami Xalveth, mereka justru mendapati diri mereka terhapus dari eksistensi, tidak hanya dari dunia mereka tetapi dari sejarah dan kemungkinan itu sendiri. Satu demi satu, mereka lenyap, meninggalkan kehampaan yang tidak pernah ada sebelumnya. Apakah ada yang bisa mencapai pencerahan tentang Xalveth tanpa kehilangan segalanya?

In a world shaped by gods, destiny, and prophecy, everything follows a predetermined cycle. The Five Goddesses rule the heavens, having sealed away their sole brother, Kaelis, the God of Unity, long ago—twisting his name into the God of Chaos to erase his true purpose. With his fall, the Hero’s Party defeated the Demon Lord, and non-human races perished one by one, leaving only humans to rule the world. Before Kaelis was sealed, however, eight monoliths descended, warning that once every odd century, a Destined One would be born—either a harbinger of chaos or tranquility. This prophecy became an unshakable truth, with the world rising and falling in accordance with these chosen individuals. Yet, centuries later, long after the last Destined One passed, the world faced a new calamity. The ley lines of mana, the lifeblood of magic, began to wither. The Church of the Five declared it divine will, while scholars and mages sought a solution. One woman—a brilliant but infamous sorceress—discovered the cause and took it upon herself to restore the mana flow. She succeeded—but her actions tore open a rift between dimensions, unleashing monsters not born of this world. Though the breach was eventually sealed, the damage was irreversible. The world changed forever, and she vanished into legend—reviled by some, revered by others. Now, in the present era, the world exists in tenuous balance. Monsters roam the land, kings rule their fractured domains, and the Church maintains its iron grip. No new Destined One has emerged. The world expects another cycle to begin. Then, he is born. A child without prophecy, without divine origin, without fate. A soul not from this world. Unlike the Destined Ones of legend, his birth was never foreseen by the gods—an impossibility that throws the celestial order into chaos and confusion. For the first time, something has entered this world without the hand of the divine guiding it. He is not a hero. He is not the chosen one. He is an anomaly. And in a world where destiny dictates all, a man with no fate may be the most dangerous force of all.

In a world where the boundaries of time blur and eternity is but a fleeting concept, the relentless pursuit of immortality has captivated countless souls.

Haunted by the limits of his mortality, Liang devises a daring plan to shatter the confines of his destiny and achieve true immortality. But is he genuinely shaping a new destiny, defying the predetermined course of his life? Or is he merely walking a path that fate has already laid out for him?
