Cultivation Fever

After escaping his pit of despair, Oscar wonders if reincarnating into the world of his dreams saved him, or plunged him into newfound terrors. Forced to become strong with no endpoint in sight, he cultivates through infancy, relying on the only thing the elder gave him. The mystical Soul Becoming World Technique. With his past life’s experience and knowledge of cultivation novels, Oscar expected it to be easy. But of course, it wasn’t that simple. From demonic trials to family torment, even his early years were fraught with pain. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cultivation Fever is a Western interpretation of the Chinese Cultivation genre, focusing heavily on realistic progression, lifelike characters, and emotional turmoil. As an avid reader of the genre, the lacklustre stories, shallow characters, and shoddy translations consistently disappointed me, so I strived to write an original high-quality interpretation with real depth. If you're a fan of gritty, realistic fantasy, you'll love this series. If you have never heard of cultivation, this book is a perfect start that eases you into the core concepts of Chinese martial fantasy. For die-hard fans, it is a fresh take on the genre with deep character development, diving into the brutal reality of cultivation.

Fragments of Eternity

For centuries, humanity has fought a losing war against the alien Xa’tarii. Every attempt to unite has ended in failure, every plan foiled by betrayal, greed, or fear. Talon Graves is one man trapped in an endless cycle, reliving the fight over and over in a desperate attempt to find the path that will save humanity. This is his story, from the first life where he was just a kid. To the hundredth and beyond, trapped in an endless cycle. Each step, each decision, brings him closer to breaking the cycle or losing himself entirely. Perhaps even both. Will Talon’s hope be enough to defy fate, or will humanity fall to its own flaws once more? -- Hello everyone! If you’ve made it this far into the summary, and I still haven’t convinced you to click on that first chapter, let me share a little more about what you can expect from this book. This story offers a unique power system, one inspired by cultivation but with my own twist to make it truly distinct. It’s a universe where intergalactic warfare takes center stage, featuring everything from the awe-inspiring World Enders who can destroy planets with a thought, to the smallest soldiers fighting tooth and nail for survival. Every individual matters, and every battle leaves its mark. In this universe, it’s all about scale. Even a world-ending Super is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. When wars span entire galaxies and civilizations vie for dominance across universal borders, the impact of a single Super, no matter how powerful, is often a morale boost or the elimination of key high-profile targets, including enemy World Enders themselves. Victory here isn’t determined by raw strength alone but by strategy, sacrifice, and the countless individuals who shape the tide of war. So, if you’re looking for a story that combines relentless action, intricate power systems, and the weight of interstellar stakes, then this might just be the book for you. I hope you’ll give it a chance, click that first chapter, and let’s dive in together. P.S. I’ll be writing this for the long haul, so if you’re expecting a gritty, determined, and powerful individual right from the start, this isn’t that kind of story. Instead, you’ll follow a journey of growth, struggle, and transformation as Talon learns to navigate a brutal universe and carve his place in it. Enjoy!

Art of Cuckoldry: The Dominance System

Dick's life has always been sh*t—bullied, belittled, and ignored by his family. But when he stumbles upon a mysterious system that gives him the power to dominate both his body and the people around him, everything changes. No more playing the victim. Now, he's the one pulling the strings, and he's not just going to survive—he's going to thrive. With his newfound strength and confidence, Dick rises from the ashes of his pathetic life. From gym conquests to manipulating his family, no one is safe from his plans. Whether it's his stepsister, spoiled rich girls, or even the women who thought they were untouchable, Dick takes what he wants, and they all submit in the end. This isn’t your fairytale redemption arc. This Cinderella f*cks. Warnings: Power Games Galore: Expect manipulation, mind games, and a whole lot of domination. Nobody’s safe from Dick’s rise to power—whether they like it or not. Explicit Sexual Content: This isn’t a romance novel; it’s a f*ckfest of control. Detailed sex scenes abound, so if you're here for the smut, strap in. Soft-Incest Tag: Yes, there's family drama... but not the kind you're used to. Step-siblings, step-mothers, and step-cousins are all on the table(or on the bed, counter...)—and, let’s just say, things get complicated. Psychological Warfare: Dick plays with minds as much as bodies. Expect emotional manipulation, submission, and plenty of characters wrestling with power dynamics. Revenge Served Hot: Bullied? Belittled? Ignored? Not anymore. This is a revenge story with a twist—Cinderella might be f*cked over, but he’s doing the f*cking now. Not Your Grandma’s Fairytale: No swooning heroines or happy endings here (well, those kinds of happy endings). This is dark, gritty, and unapologetic. Morally Gray at Best: The characters don’t play nice. This is a story about power, domination, and control, where morality is often optional. Strong Language: If you don’t like swearing or sharp-tongued characters, this isn’t the story for you. Expect plenty of harsh words to go with the harsh deeds. Abso-fucking-lutely No R*pe, Forcing, Drugging, or H*rassing: Everything that happens is consensual, even when it’s manipulative. No lines are crossed when it comes to force or coercion.
