Dust Dusttale

Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

【Exhilarating】【New Ultimate Path Plus Points】【Dry Humor】 The world plummets; who shall uphold the heavens? Demons spawn from earth and sky, the Taoist stands valiant and resolute. I am Yi Chen, 'Chen' as in dust, styled Yi Chengzi, eighteen years old, fearful of violent evil spirits, fond of making money. With a cold heart and ruthless hands, he transmigrated to a bizarre world where goblins and malevolent spirits dwell, becoming the eldest senior brother of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and as his master lay dying, he entrusted Yi Chengzi with the duty to uphold the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of his younger Taoist brothers; he promised he would. However, his understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differed slightly from that of his master. What is benevolence? Slicing evil men and ghosts in half is benevolence. What is righteousness? Smashing the heads of evil men and ghosts into their chests completes righteousness. After his master's death, unable to awaken 'spiritual essence' for cultivation, he set upon an unorthodox path of cultivation with the help of the Golden Finger. Facing the wolves eager for a fight after his master's demise, he struck with heavy fists, understanding the true essence of righteousness. Confronting the malevolent spirits that stood in his way, he naturally reformed them with the iron fists of love. He slew demons, exorcised evil, and tested his sword against various spiritual cultivators, enjoying the landscapes of the world. When he reached the summit and looked around, he was shocked to find that demons were but minor afflictions and that this land and sky were falling... A millennium-long scheme, an eternal enigma, slowly unveiled itself. Strange, it has arrived, and it does not die or perish. Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen laughed. Even the malevolent dogs passing by his Taoist abode had to endure a couple of slaps; how dare someone be so disrespectful to him? Yi Taoist stomped one foot and soared into the heavens! The onlookers exclaimed in shock, "Taoist, stop fighting, the great 'Dao' is nearly worn away!"

Dead Man's Revenge

Nocturia - once a world full of life, fueled by rapid technological growth and a mystical power called “Arcana”. Now it has become a shadow of what it once was. It all started with the great war, and ended with a bomb. A bomb so powerful that it threw the entire world into disarray. This bomb—dubbed The Eclipse—was dropped on the once great Arcane Kingdom of Elynor. In the blink of an eye, the bomb disintegrated all life, land, and structures within a 100-kilometer radius. The shockwaves sent ripples of destruction across the planet, annihilating both Arcane cities and Modern cities that dare to stand in its way. And even then, the bomb wasn't done.

One by one, plant life slowly froze to death, followed by the animals, followed by the very air itself, which grew thicker and colder with each passing day, until even the last breath of warmth seemed a distant memory, trapped beneath a relentless sky of ash and ice. In the aftermath of the disaster, mankind’s last hope for survival lay in the city of Kaltara, a city which, through the war, had remarkably kept the harmony between the men who were blessed with Arcana, and the men who weren't. Through a barrier formed by harnessing the arcana stored within the “Mother Stone”, the city was protected from the freezing temperatures of the outside world. Within the walls of this sanctuary, the last remnants of humanity cling to survival, struggling to rebuild a broken world. Fifty years after the destruction of Elynor, Kaltara stands as the sole beacon of hope—a haven where all of mankind live in harmony, having settled their differences after the consequences of their previous conflict.But beneath this peaceful world, something dark stirs, a sinister secret that - when revealed, could tear apart the very foundation of society and push the last remains of humanity to war once again - and one particular organisation will stoop to no lengths to expose it. How will Martin Zalchev, a boy who was orphaned on his 15th birthday and who awakened his arcana on that day, navigate the world? As an authors note, this is my first novel. do with that information however you like.

The Extra's Supremacy

Kain Nightshade, a young man from a world blissfully devoid of magic, finds himself inexplicably thrust into the dangerous and chaotic world of Altheria, the fantasy novel that consumed his childhood. But surprise — reality is a lot less glamorous than fiction. He’s not the destined hero or even the sidekick. No, Kain is a nameless "extra," a background character in a world teeming with overpowered mages, deadly assassins, and nobles with more schemes than common sense. "This… this can't be right," Kain muttered, staring at the towering obsidian castle before him. 'The academy… I pictured a Hogwarts-like experience, not a military base!' He stood before the imposing structure, a mixture of awe and impending doom settling in. He’d imagined grand adventures — maybe with some quirky magical professors — not this bleak, stone fortress full of people just waiting to die heroically. Armed with only the faintest recollection of the novel's plot, Kain has no idea what to expect. All he knows is that he’s not the protagonist. He’s not the villain. He’s not even the comic relief. He’s just there, and in a world that thrives on destiny, being “just there” is a guaranteed ticket to the bottom of the food chain. 'They think I’m insignificant,' he mused, a glint of amusement dancing in his eyes. 'They think I’m a background character. Well, let’s see what happens when the 'extra' starts rewriting the script.' With bare minimum of knowledge about the world's plotline, Kain sets out to survive. It’s simple really: let the heroes and villains fight it out while he quietly takes the sidelines and maybe, just maybe, use his utter lack of importance to climb to the top. Because why not? Everyone’s so busy with their big, flashy destinies that they’ve completely overlooked the one thing they should fear: a “side character” who’s learned to play the game better than anyone else. It’s a dangerous world, and Kain’s not here for a tragic death or a heroic arc. He’s here for one thing: survival. No need to become a legend, no need for power — just an extra with the supremacy to carve out his own path, rewrite his own fate, and maybe, just maybe, come out on top when the dust settles.

To be the misunderstood villainess

|Mafia boss×Mafia's son| Warning: extremely mature content. - Couple one: Despite her trying to sound cool, he could hear her slight pants. "What were you doing?" He asked, forgetting everything. That's how it was for them. They could be in the middle of the most serious issue yet the slightest change in their breathing would make the other curious. "If I say that I was, or more like, am fingering myself while thinking about you, would you come here and f*ck me?" She said while putting two fingers inside of herself. A moan left her lips and his d*ck hardened on the other side. "F*ck, Andrew, ah," she was moaning on purpose, to get a reaction out of him. She wanted to test him till he broke and later fulfilled her with his entire being. She knew that she wasn't supposed to want him and so did he but the heart wants what the heart wants. And forbidden fruits always taste better. - All of a sudden, he moved a little away and by not feeling the same sensation as before, she opened her eyes with an annoyed look. She was almost about to come. "Why did you stop -" she was cut off by her own moan. He did the most unthinkable thing. He slapped her pu*sy. She thought that it would hurt her but it had the exact opposite reaction. It ended up sending an electric shock through her body but one that was filled with pleasure. She was looking at him with pleading eyes. She didn't know what she wanted him to do but she wanted something from him and he understood even though she didn't vocalize her thoughts. He made a silent promise to fulfill all of her fantasies and with that, he slapped her again. And she moaned in pleasure again. Who knew that something that counts as a punishment could bring one so much pleasure? - Tangled by an interesting past, lust, and underworld matters. And most importantly heart. Both of them refused to fall for the other again but for how long? In this twisted game called lust, would they end up falling for each other? -- Couple two: "Stars are pretty," he said. She gave him a sad smile. "But people always say that you are going to lose the moon while counting the stars but the moon got scars and you can't stare at the sun for two minutes, you are bound to get blind by its light and how can you love someone you can't even look at?" "So we shouldn't love anything at all?" "If you are willing to take the risk then sure, you can." "Maybe I am or maybe I don't have any choice of my own. If you were given a chance, what would have you been?" "Dust probably," she said, not looking at him anymore. "Dust why? Don't they fly away?" "I wish to be like the dust so that I can fly away. Everything except the dust that flies is desired in one way or another, for example: A bird is caged in the name of love, just because someone wants to keep it. A flower that was torn away from its home and later toasted away in a place where the wind makes it blown, at least one person is going to like it enough to keep it with them till they don't like it anymore. Nobody can see dust, let alone desire it. Maybe being undesired isn't always the bad thing." -- "I trusted you but you broke my trust. You could have told me the truth." "You never seemed interested enough in my truth." "I wasn't? You never bothered asking me anything, you just assumed and ruined everything because that's all you can do. You don't deserve my trust." "I know," she muttered under her breath, fully knowing that he was too good for her to ruin him. -- "Don't do this to yourself just because you hate me. Don't ruin your life, I am begging you." "Because of you? Why would you think that you deserve any of my thoughts, my emotions? You don't even exist to me." And she was again feeling unworthy, a word that was never going to leave her side. -- In the midst of misunderstanding, complications, and hate, will they find love?
