Alex Carter, a brilliant but overworked game developer, dedicates his life to creating the most immersive VR/AR system the world has ever seen. Tasked with designing a groundbreaking cultivation game that blends virtual and augmented reality, Alex spends sleepless nights perfecting a system that promises players a world where they can rise in ranks, harness elemental powers, and shape their destinies. But when a late-night test of the unfinished system goes catastrophically wrong, Alex is pulled through a dimensional rift, leaving his physical body destroyed in a devastating explosion. Awakening in a new world governed by the rules of cultivation, Alex finds himself inhabiting the body of Xian Liang, a disgraced young man cast out by his family and sect for his inability to progress beyond the lowest ranks. Alex quickly learns that this world is shaped by the mastery of Qi, the life force that flows through all things, and divided by affinities that define each cultivator's path. Yet Alex is no ordinary cultivator. Alongside Xian Liang's affinity for Water Qi, Alex discovers he has an unprecedented connection to Chaos Qi—a forbidden, untamable force feared for its unpredictable nature. Armed with his memories of Earth and his unique strategic mind, Alex must navigate the treacherous world of cultivation, where strength dictates status and survival. From mastering the volatile Chaos Qi to rising through the ranks of cultivation, Alex begins an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, vengeance, and power. But as he unravels the secrets of his new reality, he realizes his transmigration was no accident. The world’s fragile balance is on the brink of collapse, and Alex’s arrival may be the key to either its salvation or destruction.

A being forged from dark magic, forever damned. A vampire, and not just any kind. Will Dragos give up the first woman to touch his heart in over four hundred years?

It’s 2100, and Vincent Carter – Ying – is a twenty-year-old virgin with a penchant for profanity, he has but three guiding principles: “In a world where honour and valour seem like unaffordable luxuries, cowardice remains the pragmatist’s ultimate virtue. Spinelessness isn’t shameful, it’s simply self-preservative romance.” “Doubt is unironically the cheapest superpower a person can have, after all if it’s human, it’s probably plotting something. And if it’s plotting something, it’s probably hiding something. And if it’s hiding something… well, you get the idea. So question everything, one sceptical step at a time.” And lastly, “Muscle heads – because who needs brains when you can just flex your way through life? Couldn’t be me, I’ll tell you that much.” Armed with nothing but these… questionable (?) values, as well as experiences shaped by a hellish life in the slums, Ying dives headfirst into the latest VR sensation – Cultivation Climax, a world brimming with great magic, ancient mysteries, and blood-curdling conspiracies just waiting to be unravelled. However, because Ying’s life is just that kind of special, he is greeted with a rather ‘lovely’ surprise upon opening his eyes to the new world… Ding! [Your misfortune is truly astounding!] [You have awakened the absolute WORST talent for Cultivation!] ‘…’ “…W-what?!” Yes, what indeed.
