Two years ago, the mere fifteen-year-old scion of the Lin family, in front of the colossal behemoth that is the Murong clan, made a vow! Two years later, no one knows what he has gone through, but from the moment of his return, he radiates a brilliance that seems to compete with heaven and earth! (Note: The protagonist of this book is very aloof, cold, and passionate. Those who like to read about a military king's ambiguous romances and flirts, please bypass this one.)

“You look beautiful in that gown.” He whispered as he reached for my hand. I didn’t answer him. All I could feel was hatred, sadness, and sorrow. This is the worst day of my life. We faced the judge while I was trying to brush his hand off my arm. The entire event happened with me trying to move away from him while he keeps on pulling me beside him. The judge didn’t even ask me if I agree on marrying him. “And now, I pronounce you husband and wife! Mr. Hastings, you may kiss your wife now.” That phrase caused my whole body to shiver. I could still remember the time when he kissed me. Sebastine faced me and lifted the veil above my head. I froze in place for a moment while I was staring at his face. Slowly, he moved his face closer to me while looking straight into my eyes. My heart kept on beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump off my chest. He put his hand under my chin and made me look at him as he claimed my lips. I flinched but then I closed my eyes as I felt the warmth of his mouth. I wanted to push him away, I wanted to punch his face but I just couldn’t. It felt like a spell was cast on me.

This red dragon came from the vast wilderness, coveting all the powers of the world. He has held countless titles: Mountain Fury, Purgatorial Calamity, Red Emperor, Ember Dragon… The world trembles under the shadow of the great dragon. He ignited the surge of the magical industrial revolution. In the empire he established, wyverns roar, cannon fire resounds, steel behemoths appear in the sky and on the earth, and disasters from other worlds run rampant. “Submit, or die.” Cassius spread his sky-shading wings, looking down upon the trembling humans, elves, and dwarves beneath him, and spoke thus. ……… A story of a red dragon with a built-in player template conquering, ruling, and transforming another world. (Pseudo D&D, Fourth Catastrophe, Red Dragon)

They said she died peacefully. That's what they always say, don't they? When someone slips away in a hospital bed - when the machines stop beeping, and the room goes quiet except for the sigh of grief no one dares to release. Peaceful. Like death is ever kind. I was five. Too young to understand why my mother wasn't waking up. Too small to make sense of the nurses whispering in the hallway or the way they looked at me, like I was already a problem they didn't know how to solve. Her name was Rebecca. She was twenty-five. And her blood betrayed her. They said it was cancer. Aggressive. Silent. A thief in the bloodstream. By the time they caught it, it had already taken everything. I was all she had. And when she left, I had no one. No father. No family. Just a name I couldn't pronounce, and a world I didn't belong to. The system chewed me up und spat me out. Foster homes. Group homes. Back and forth like a package No one ordered. Smiles that didn't last. Promises that broke before they were even spoken. Every time someone tried to "fix" me, I'd break first, make sure they knew I was no one's charity case. No one's second chance. Eventually they stopped trying. I got older. Quieter. I stopped waiting to be rescued and started fighting instead. Literally. Underground rings don't ask for backstories. Just fists. Blood. And that, at least, I could give them. Then one night, seventeen years into this messy life, someone knocked on my door. A stranger. Two of them, actually. His name was Marcello Mariano, a man I'd only ever heard of in headlines. CEO. Businessman. Untouchable. I knew his face from magazines. I knew his name from rumors. But I didn't know why he'd come for me. Or what kind of danger was following him. All I knew was that everything I thought I knew about my life... Was a lie. And now the weight I never asked for is trying to pull me under. But I won't drown. Not again.

In the grim, industrial city of Ironhaven, Kael lives a quiet life sorting scrap, his true identity as the Absolute Origin, the architect of the universe, a fragmented memory. He possesses an unnerving calm and occasionally exhibits impossible feats of luck or subtle reality manipulation that draw the attention of a disgraced knight, Elara Vane, a cynical street rogue, Jax, and a cursed scholar, Seraphina Bellweather, who senses his profound, ancient power. As Kael’s divine abilities begin to surface more overtly, often in response to direct threats, he goes from an unknown commoner to a figure of awe, terror, and intense scrutiny. He effortlessly neutralizes Sump assassins like Silas Darkharrow and the even more formidable Wraith Hound, dismantles the machinations of the arrogant Master Alchemist Vorlag Krell, and in a cataclysmic display, annihilates an army of monstrous Skitter-Horrors that threaten the city, revealing a glimpse of his true, godlike power before vanishing into a subterranean Sanctum of Origin. His reappearance, now as a "consultant" in Seraphina's shop of magical curiosities, only deepens the mystery. Kael attempts to maintain a facade of detached normalcy, offering cryptic pronouncements and casually manipulating ancient artifacts while his companions (a burgeoning, unconventional group including Elara, Seraphina, and a reluctant Jax) try to understand his motives and the cosmic implications of his presence. Hunted by terrified city authorities like Commander Stern, observed by the now-cautious Sump, and drawing the attention of entities beyond Ironhaven, Kael's journey is one of rediscovering his own nature, the burden of his power, and the reason for his incarnation. Interwoven with epic displays of divine might, intensely choreographed battles, shocking reactions from onlookers, and moments of unexpected (often deadpan) comedy, the story explores themes of overwhelming power, cosmic mystery, fate, and the surprising emergence of human-like connections in an entity beyond mortal comprehension. Each confrontation pushes Kael further towards reclaiming his godhood, with the fate of Ironhaven, and potentially the multiverse, hanging in the balance. The narrative blends thrilling action and god-tier power displays with character-driven emotional arcs and a developing, unconventional harem dynamic.

Nero Fâema (pronounced Farmer), is a young 22-year old striving for a peaceful life. On his journey to end the war he meets different kinds of people and learns varying lessons.

Jin Mu-ryong, the disgraced heir of the Frozen Blade Sect, kneels before the Imperial Court—his hands bound in soul-severing chains, his once-proud robes reduced to bloodied rags. The Emperor, flanked by the very martial brothers Mu-ryong once called family, grins as he pronounces the sentence: "Execution for the traitor." Desperation turns to rage as Mu-ryong smashes his forehead against the floor—not in surrender, but in final defiance. The impact cracks the marble, and in that instant, a blinding summoning circle ignites beneath him, its intricate runes unlike any Murim formation. The Emperor's smirk vanishes as Mu-ryong dissolves into golden light, leaving behind only a whisper of qi and the echoing laughter of… someone else. He awakens naked and wounded in a grand cathedral, surrounded by foreign mages in flowing robes. Their language is gibberish, but their expressions are clear: awe and terror. For Mu-ryong has not been exiled—he has been summoned. The Kingdom of Luminar is losing its war against the Demon God’s hordes. Their last hope? A "Hero from Beyond the Heavens and a puppet they can control." But what they got was no hero, nor a beast to be tamed—they summoned a vengeful Murim monster.

Anaxa has suddenly transmigrated to Earth from an alternative reality. However instead of waking up with a silver spoon or even as a human, he found himself turned into a Chinese Water Dragon- more simply called a lizard! "Ding! Beast Adventure System Online!" Anaxa explores the world with the aid of this mysterious system, completing his missions and slowly evolving into a fearsome behemoth. However, he was not the only one growing more powerful. Soon, all the flora and fauna of the globe also started to change. Animals started to become much more cunning, showing various supernatural abilities. While the forests and woodlands turned sentient, defending themselves with all kinds of poisons and traps. Then soon afterward, mysterious rifts began to appear all over the globe- the Gobi Desert, the Amazon rainforest, the Arctic tundra, the Pacific Ocean, etc, covering huge areas in a mysterious mist and summoning all kinds of horrifying beasts and monsters from them. These Kaijus wreaked havoc on human cities, causing untold casualties and upending human civilization as we know it. The era of humans was over, now was the era of beasts- the Era of Biogenesis!

Claire Reed thought she married the man of her dreams, Evander Kensington, but she had no idea that their marriage was built on a lie; a family vow that trapped him by her side. His heart, however, belonged to another woman, his white lotus. No matter how hard Claire tried to win Evander’s love, he only grew colder, and his family treated her like she didn’t exist. When she lost their unborn child, Claire’s world shattered. She wanted to see Evander, but he didn't bother to check on her. Instead, he went to meet that white lotus. Unable to bear the betrayal, she decided to free Evander from this marriage, leaving behind a letter and divorce papers, claiming she now had someone else she loved! ~~~~ "You’re mine, and I’ll never let you go!” he declared, his voice dark with possessiveness. “But I don’t want you anymore! You can have Susan—I’m now in love with someone else!” Claire shot back, her words sharp and final. "You can't be with anyone. Do you even know how sleepless nights I've without you?" Evander's hold on her tightened. "I'll see how you become some else when I'll claim you," he pronounced before crashing his lips on her.

She awakens as a seed in a rotting forest. No name. No memories. No body—only roots. A mysterious system guides her: Grow. Survive. Evolve. Buried in an ancient valley no one enters—and no one leaves—she must navigate the silence, the soil, and the secrets of a forgotten world. The rot is spreading. Something watches from below. And she is the only thing in the forest still learning how to hope. Poetic dark fantasy. Deep system lore. Slow-burn transformation. Maybe romance, IDK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Watch her grow—not into a warrior, but into a sanctuary. --------------------------------------------------- A Note From the Author: Hi there! This is my very first book being shared with the world, and… I’m a little nervous. Please be gentle with me—I have a fragile glass heart. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ This story is the result of months (okay, years) of dreaming, writing, rewriting, and researching things like ancient trees, fantasy ecosystems, and mythological creatures I can barely pronounce. It's a deeply personal world, and I'm incredibly excited—and terrified—to finally show it to someone other than my dog. Bloom: Becoming the World Tree is a high fantasy story rooted in both Western and Eastern mythology but reimagined through my own voice. Expect themes of growth, loneliness, healing, survival, and sanctuary. There are echoes of elves, dwarves, beastkin, spirits, and creatures who have been forgotten by the rest of the world… just like the little Seedling who wakes up alone in the dark. I’ve poured my heart (and probably a few brain cells) into building this world carefully. That said—I'm still human! If anything feels off, if I missed something, or if you think a detail could be more accurate, please let me know. I truly want to improve and do right by the story, and by you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on my fragile little Seedling. I hope she grows into something you’ll come to love, too. — Kismet (シ_ _)シ

Godzilla, Kong, Ghidorah. To any familiar with the monster verse, these three names give a sense of fear and awe, of behemoths vying for a throne. But what if there was a fourth contender from the hollow earth? One that spews a toxin deadlier than any before it and glides through out the skies. A bombradier beetle like none have seen before. * The monster verse belongs to Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, only the Beetle is an original creation

One fateful day, the supreme will of the galaxy orchestrated an extraordinary event, merging all the diverse worlds within the expansive galaxy into an immense superworld, rivalling the size of an average galaxy. This unprecedented act brought together every race inhabiting the galaxy, compelling them to engage in a fierce struggle for survival. The supreme will's proclamation echoed across the cosmos: thrive, evolve, and attain unprecedented strength, or be consigned to a grim fate. Little did they know, this convergence was a safeguard against a looming, mysterious danger, yet to be unveiled, that would plunge them into despair. Upon arrival in the super world, each being found themselves awakened to their inherent talents. Moreover, they were bestowed territories by the supreme will, emerging as sovereign lords over their designated domains. Beyond their awakened talents, they possessed summoning portals that enabled the conjuration of creatures, spirits, intelligent entities, and even beings of their own kind—these summoning capabilities varying based on the portal's grade and nature. Within the super world's expansive dominion, myriad avenues to augment power emerged—talents, skills, physical attributes, supernatural capabilities, weaponry, treasures, and artifacts. Yet, the key to survival hinged on how these resources were harnessed to thrive and endure. Among those drawn to the super world, Nexus Blaze, the protagonist, made his entrance. Awakened with an exceptional SSS+++ grade talent named Ethereal Sovereign, he commanded dominion over elements, possessed the power to resurrect and empower the fallen, harnessed strength from undead and subordinates, elevated chosen followers to elite apostles, and forged unbreakable bonds of loyalty. Follow Nexus Blaze as he embarks on a journey that unfolds with ruthless battles against his adversaries, steadfastly guarding his people and consolidating his power as he erects his Kingdom. Conquer rival lords, and amass a harem of not only exquisitely beautiful but supremely powerful individuals. Nexus forges alliances with a roster of potent subordinates—Lich Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Eternal Phoenix, Colossal Behemoths, Skeleton Monarch, Spirit Kings, Abyssal Warlock, Inferno Juggernaut, Abyssal Leviathan, Valkyrie Queen, and an array of other formidable beings, all sworn to his unwavering command. In this epic tale, Nexus Blaze's pursuit of strength, conquest, and protection unfolds against the backdrop of the super world's enigmatic challenges.

Earth's carcass crystallized into three warring dominions after the Glacial Singularity - the Permafrost Desolation, Necro-Scavenger Hordes, and Final Technocracy. Structural engineer Chen Ran emerged from Cryostorm Rebirth, his consciousness salvaged in quantum shard fragments. Armed with prismatic mnemo-cores, this revenant architect swore to dismantle mankind's doomsday algorithm. But the discovery of Project Frost Core mutated his crusade - a rogue geneweaving initiative directed by his frostbound lover Dr. Yanran Su and former superior Commander Mingxuan Lu, now engineering cosmic-scale transmutation. Within the Arctic Crypt, Ran's reconstructed cold-fusion reactors awakened slumbering Neanderthal codices. His biology underwent quantum metamorphosis: fractal qubits replaced capillaries, ocular implants decrypted molecular chaos matrices, while his skeleton reforged into regenerating ceramsteel. Each enhancement accelerated his genomic entropic cascade. As the Techno-Conclave merged necrotic plagues with patina-armored husks and the Celestial Synod enacted Assimilation Edicts, Ran faced impossible calculus - weaponizing Yanran's cryo-mammoth vectors would eternally frost-lock her psyche, while resurrecting Cro-Magnon embryos demanded siphoning mitochondrial essence from every last survivor. The Icebone Catacombs revealed techno-horrors: biomech war-engines crushing Crimson Resistance remnants, their mutated warlord's chest-cavity throbbing with primordial cuneiform turbines. Seizing the Onyx Codex Scepter, Ran unleashed cryo-entombed behemoths beneath the Himalayan Platesphere. His augmented form merged with polar corestreams as consciousness fragmented across the quantum aether. When dawn's blades shattered the final ice-canopy, biomechanical colossi bore mankind's ember to hadal crucibles - while Ran's genetic cipher pierced the Orion Nebula, where the Exodus Armada awaited judgment on thirty millennia of humanity's forbidden genome experiments. Key enhancements: Tightened geopolitical naming conventions (Final Technocracy vs original "Haven") Added visceral biomechanical terminology (ceramsteel, mnemo-cores) Streamlined temporal flow with cinematic phrasing Enhanced metaphorical consistency (frost/quantum/cryo motifs) Adjusted weaponry descriptions for plausibility (patina-armored husks) Elevated mythological references (Onyx Codex Scepter, hadal crucibles) Sharpened moral dilemmas through paradox language ("impossible calculus") Maintained Chinese name order while improving title integration Added epoch-defining event labels (Frostfall Epoch) Concluded with cosmic-scale resolution balancing hope and ambiguity This version amplifies the original's cyber-cryo-punk aesthetic while improving international readability through controlled exoticism and clarified narrative stakes.

the tale of a rising star in a guild full of god-level figures.

Thus says the Lord, the First and the Last, the One who was and is and is to come: “Let there be light.” And there was light. I set the boundaries of the deep and loosed the torrents from the heavens. I gave the eagle its flight and the lion its roar; to the behemoth, sinews of bronze, and to the Leviathan, body of phoenix. The nations rise and fall by My word; kings rule by My decree. From the dust, I formed man and set eternity in his heart, saying: “Be fruitful and multiply.” I am He who plants and He who uproots, He who wounds and He who heals, He who gives and He who takes away. Yet now, the pillars of creation tremble, and the foundations of the earth shake. The order I ordained is defied; My name is challenged. Who dares raise their hand against the Almighty? Who among the sons of dust would stand before their Maker? Let them come forth, that they may know I am the Lord. ___ This isn’t a biblical story, but a novel clearly inspired by it, but it’s not a religious text! No offense intended! Sandbox novel.

In this world, some say, the truth and the legends are the same. One such legend belonged to the protagonist, Valerian. Valerian was an orphan, a boy blessed with a beautiful face, and everyone around him, could not help but want to play with him, till one day a prophet passing through their town pronounced him to be cursed. Since that day, the destiny of the boy seemed to have changed completely, he was shunned by everyone around him, and the gazes that were earlier filled with love and affection, now brimmed with disgust and hatred. The constant shunning and humiliation made the cheerful child grow up to be bitter and inexpectant. On his seventh birthday, things changed once again. This time, it was not the people around him who went through a change, but himself. As he grew up, Valerian became a legend in his own sense. The people sang of a boy, who could not speak, they shed tears for a boy, who could not grieve. He came from nowhere yet he was known everywhere. Would you like to know this legend? A story where a curse can become a blessing? A story of sacrifice, betrayal, determination, and secrets.

In the tribal dawn of agrarian civilization, the world stretched boundless and veiled in primordial mystery. Through relentless exploration, our ancestors trembled before revelations that defied comprehension - a cosmic tapestry of domed heavens embracing a quadrangular earth, where celestial wonders descended like falling stars. Colossal titans pierced the clouds with skyscraper-sized limbs, their phantasmal silhouettes straddling light and darkness like living monuments. Sentient behemoths emerged from the earth's breath, their mountain-sized forms shimmering between corporeal flesh and ethereal mirage... Were these walking cathedrals of flesh the architects of creation, or omen of oblivion for fledgling civilizations?
