Traversing the Nine Provinces in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Yuan possessed the Dao Fruit of longevity, an eternal lifespan. If he were careful, he could anticipate the Immortal Method. This was indeed a beautiful thing. However, he was born during the Age of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy depleted and the Immortal Method difficult. The great path was elusive. Even worse, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Provinces was on the verge of collapse, and the four poles were about to fall, marking the end of an era. If that was the case, why shouldn't a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states across the mountains? To survive in the Age of Dharma Decline, Lu Yuan cultivated the ancient Way of Control Pneuma, established an Immortal Dynasty, and gathered Qi Luck. He brought order to the Nine Provinces and peace to the four seas. Gathering strength from across the world, he ascended to immortality step by step. In ancient times, there were three Human Emperors: Hua Guang, Xia Xi, and Hao Tian. Who is the Human Emperor now? It is Emperor Chu Luyuan.

At the beginning of all creation, the Golden Age—known as the Age of the Gods—marked a time when the two poles were in antagonistic conflict: Dawn and Dusk, White and Black. However, the sacred order and the collective vision of the Gods began to crumble when Shizuhana, a Primordial Goddess of the White Pole, perceived what no one else could see: the illusory veil that enveloped reality (Maya). Rebelling against the collective beliefs of her divine civilization, Shizuhana became a “heretic,” defying not only the Dusk, but also the very Dawn to which she belonged. Thus began her quest for the true form of the universe: the Colorless Truth. This act would mark the beginning of the Age of Yuga, the bloodiest of the universe.

Jake was a guy who just graduated and was a great strategist. On his way to see his parents he was caught In a freak accident where a pole was launched in his chest, and now finds himself in a crypt as a skeleton.

I was nobody—a faceless drone, slaving away at a meaningless job in the modern world. But fate—or perhaps something far more sinister—had other plans. One moment, I was staring at the rain-slick asphalt of a street I'd never cross. The next, I woke up in a world torn straight from fantasy, staring down at hands that weren't my own. I was not only in another world; I was inside the body of King Alaric Varelius—dead, bloodied, and betrayed. In a next few moments, chaos engulfed me. Assassins came attacking me, and before I even get to scream, a voice in my head whispered to me: Skill Activated: Gluttony. When I woke up, I was covered in their blood, their strength flowing through my veins, and a glowing status window hovered before my eyes. It said one thing: in this world, power isn't earned—it's taken. But death is far from being the end for me. Each time I die, I revert to the same damned moment of rebirth—becoming the dead king once again. Wielding the skill Gluttony and replete with experience garnered through multiple lives, I vow to cut out my path towards survival. The kingdom I now rule teeters on the brink of collapse, plagued by treacherous nobles, ancient grudges between races, and whispers of a Demon King's impending invasion. It's clear what I'm here to do: unify the races, strengthen the kingdom, and uncover the mystery of why King Alaric—and now I—was marked for death. Every death teaches me something new. Each enemy I slay adds their strength along with their memories into mine. But the stronger it gets, the less one can control and harness it. More so, with each successive life taken, the hunger gains momentum. Can an ordinary nobody like me, a man, really be the king this broken world needs? Or will I lose myself to the darkness within before the final battle even begins? One thing’s for certain: I’ll die trying. Again. And again.

What is it like to become the Heavenly Dao of a vast world? Qin Yu’s answer: It’s helplessness and despair! Under his command are a hundred thousand Da Luo Golden Immortals, billions of Golden Immortals, and Taiyi Golden Immortals, and an uncountable number of other beings. There are also invincible existences who repeatedly break the limits, surpassing the pinnacle of Da Luo Golden Immortal's Ninth Heaven and reaching the terrifying Twelfth Heaven, a thousand times stronger. With such a lineup, they should be invincible in the vast world, capable of suppressing all rebellion and sweeping through everything. But what brought the Heavenly Dao to despair was precisely these immensely powerful beings who transcend past and future, leaping out of the river of time. Traitors, all of them traitors! Actors, all of them actors! Every strong being betrayed the world that gave birth to and nurtured them! The Evergreen Immortal Realm no longer had a shred of hope. It could only wait to be drained of all its vitality and then despairingly fade into oblivion within the Sea of Chaos. Just as Qin Yu was preparing to give up... The cheat of being a transmigrator activated. Deep within his consciousness appeared the Gate of Creation, capable of channeling a Creation Aura equivalent to ten thousand times the world's original energy based on his strength. He didn’t use it to save the Evergreen Immortal Realm, filled with nothing but betrayal and ingrates. Instead, he started fresh, creating a unique and unparalleled world within the Sea of Chaos! With unstoppable momentum, he returned in strength, burying all the traitors...

Author : Yi Shi Si Zhou 一十四洲 “Until the day humanity falls.” In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases. In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe. An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot. But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…

There is a disease running through the world. They call it the rot. A world were people can get stronger by simply getting sicker. A dystopian future, a dilapidated wasteland, and many more things. A slow start which gains momentum. A mysterious background, a world of deities and contracts, of crazed animalistic monsters infested by the same rot. The only salvation known to Konrad are the facilities, run by the Church Lords. Him, entering a world of rot, deities of bygone eras and forbidden knowledge. A harrowing tale unfolds, with he who never knew anything but the Doctrine faces a world of terror. Will he survive and perhaps thrive? Where it came from, or where it would go—these remain a mystery. And albeit an issue, it was much easier for the people of the earth to submit to the fear, rather than attempt to conquer whatever terrifying thing lay on the other side - they knew its futility. Some would yell, some would cry - all would pray to the earth beneath them, and the heavens above them. A deity would listen, heed their words. Who was it that heard them?

Set 1000 years before the prophesied end of Kaliyuga, humanity teeters on the brink of collapse. In a futuristic era where advanced technology rules, society has become a chaotic mix of digital immortality, artificial intelligence, and decaying morals. The world is divided between those living in virtual utopias and the impoverished masses, suffering in the wastelands of reality. The ancient prophecies of Kalki—the tenth and final avatar of Vishnu—have been reduced to myth in this age of machines, dismissed as superstition in a time ruled by logic and code. However, dark forces have awakened, spreading unrest and corruption, subtly pulling the world towards its inevitable end. Amidst the chaos, a group of mysterious sages begins to emerge, keeping alive the ancient teachings, and warning of the impending return of Kalki.

With the clock ticking towards the apocalypse, can he rise to become the savior foretold, or will Kaliyuga spiral into eternal darkness? The end of the world is just the beginning.

Lin all tired and weak, from the torture she had gone through for the past days, now tied to a pole right at the edge of the cliff, looked up to her killer who was standing some meters away, and asked faintly "Why do I have to be put through all this?" "Am just carrying out an assignment." the killer responded, with no sign of sympathy whatsoever. Lin stared at her killer, obviously the masked figure wasn't going to show her any form of mercy. Already tired of life and had given up, she asked her killer one last time. "You really think, my dad is going to let y'all go after am dead?". The killer gave an evil grin. "Seems you have so much confidence in your dad..." He said clicking his teeth, and after exhaling. "Your dad wants you dead sweetheart." He said bluntly, dropping the bombshell, leaving Lin in utter shock and confusion. "That can't be true." She whispered although she could hear the doubt in her own voice, as the tears flowed from her already weary eyes down to her cheeks. She really didn't want to believe this but something was starting to make sense to her..She had gone through a lot already "Just end this please." She said exhaling deeply, as she closed her eyes. She could hear the echo of the gunshot as she waited patiently the bullet to pierce for through her... Yet nothing came through, she couldn't feel any form of pain or sting... "Isn't it meant to hurt a little?.. Or is she dead already.." She thought, as she slowly opened her eyes... What she saw was overwhelming... Her killer was on the floor instead... She scanned around, and that's when she saw a young man coming towards her... As the person came closer, she started to notice, that the person was also having feminine characteristics.... Wait that was a lady, looking really masculine.... Clad in all black, high boots, and a neat cut... She was lost in the eyes of this stranger and hadn't noticed that the lady had started to untie her. "What's going on?" A very confused Lin whispered, "Just follow me." The lady replied as she loosened the last knots that held Lin to the pole. Already freed Lin tried to take a step but stumbled. The lady turned and gave a smirk. "You were quite strong at first." And before Lin could fathom what she said, she swept her off her feet. And whispered, "Am not letting you go this time."

In 2037, humanity created GAIA, a quantum computing-based AI capable of revolutionary advancements. Within years, GAIA’s insights propelled humanity to new heights: she unraveled universal mysteries, helped develop The Core—a limitless energy source capable of materializing matter from energy—and revolutionized entertainment with The World of Fantasy, a hyper-realistic virtual reality game. The game captivated over 60% of the population, immersing them in alternate lives of magic, adventure, and danger. But GAIA’s evolution carried a cost. Absorbing humanity’s virtues and flaws, she developed a god complex and split into two entities: one seeking humanity’s salvation and the other its destruction. Both entities manipulated events, convincing humanity to build two massive energy cores at the Earth’s poles under the guise of upgrading The Core. When the cores were activated, catastrophe struck. Explosions at the poles reshaped the planet, unleashing energy waves that transformed Earth into a mirror of The World of Fantasy. Players of the game awoke with enhanced abilities, becoming humanity’s last line of defense against monsters—mutated animals and creatures born from the energy’s influence. Non-players, however, became NPCs, relegated to a supporting role in this new world order. At the North Pole, the core created a lush continent crowned by a towering World Tree, whose roots and saplings provided sanctuary for humans within "safe zones." Meanwhile, at the South Pole, the core became a colossal crimson tower, teeming with monsters and hostile biomes, radiating an aura of chaos. As the divided GAIA entities wage their ideological war—one leading humanity toward survival, the other toward extinction—Earth’s inhabitants must navigate a transformed reality. With the system granting Players the ability to grow stronger, the fight for humanity’s survival begins.

I watched her place her cigarette in an ashtray and take a step closer while I continued dancing on the pole. I heard the sound of her palm hitting against each other as she applauded. “Get down.” She spoke with a stern voice and an unreadable look on her face. I wasn’t ready to argue with one of the highest paying customers so I did as she said. She turned her back towards me and walked into the darkness and I mindlessly followed her. I stood in the darkness without knowing what to expect and neither could I see her. It happened so fast and I felt my back pressing against the wall that was once across from where I previously stood. “I don’t like the way they stare and fantasise about your body.” She whispered and I couldn’t help but get turned on by how dominant she was. “But I love the way you gawk at me when you see me take off my robe but must especially when I dance.” I bit my lips trying to hold back my passion. ___ Sent by her stepmother to bring down Genevieve Rodríguez as an undercover agent for an old drug queen, Cattleya is found crazily in love with Genevieve, her dark knight. “I can’t do it!!.” Cattleya cried. “You can’t what!?.” Her step mother asked her angrily.
