"I had fought before. I had bled before. But this was different. This was madness. One moment, I was home smiling and drinking with my brethren, the next… I'm met with a graveyard of empty eyes and frozen faces. And now these mongrels hunt me through the storm, blades drawn and voices sharp with laughter. Echoes in the snow continue to call my name as I drown in snow and steel. Were they guiding me? Or had I already lost my mind?" A World Without Reflections is a novel steeped in Eastern fantasy and Dark Souls-like desolation, following Chael, a warrior chief who returns to a home that no longer breathes. The voices are gone. The fires are cold. They still stand, but they do not live. And somewhere beyond the frost and silence, unseen hands pull at fate’s fraying threads. Shadows move in the snow.

Chen Qiu had transmigrated to an Immortal World, where in this world of immortals— there were Heavenly Dao Decrees, a panel-like "Heavenly Pride Leaderboard," and numerous entries. ... Every cultivator, upon breaking through a Great Realm, could obtain an entry. Different entries combined to define the cultivator's limits and directions for development. Some cultivators relied on the entry combination of “Nine Ox Power” + “Hundred Percent Accuracy” + “Ignore Barrier” to marry into the Dragon Clan and became the greatest Beast Master in history. Others relied on the entry combination of “Nonsensical Babble” + “Deceive the Junior, Fool the Senior” + “Martyr's Command,” becoming the greatest State Preceptor in history. Meanwhile, Chen Qiu's first entry, “Rise Through the Ranks,” allowed him to choose one out of three random entries each time he broke through a small realm. From then on... Various entry fusion techniques, astonishing the human world! ... When everyone in this world had a golden finger, it all came down to whose destiny was tougher!

It is partially based on the real world, but I recommend you treat it as a fantasy world since there will be things that don't exist in the world as we know it and I write the story, characters, etc as I go. It may occur that things don't add up. Of course, I try my best to let everything make sense. This is my first novel, and English is not my native language. Because of that, there may be typos, grammar mistakes, and so on, even though I try to limit those by using Grammarly. I will try my best to upload 2-3 chapters a week, but I can't promise that I will be consistent with the updates, but I will still try my best :)

This will be a kingdom building kind with comedy but there will be a fair share of adventures. Greji was just your average high schooler minding his own business when BAM! He got hit by the infamous Truck-kun. Next thing he knows, he’s waking up in a whole new world as the son of a broke count. And sure, that might sound like the beginning of a cool power fantasy, but here’s the twist: the universe seems to have misplaced all his cheat codes. No system to guide him. No ancient spirit to train him. No talent, no godlike bloodline, no family fortune. Literally nothing. Except… oh, he’s got killer looks. Great for the masses especially women, not so much for slaying demon kings. As the demon king's armies getting out of the seals, Greji is left scrambling to figure out how to save the world without any of the usual perks. His grand “strategy”? Bluff, charm, and somehow survive with nothing but his absurdly good looks and sharp (but mostly sarcastic) wit. With a ragtag team of equally unlucky misfits, a mage whose spells never work as intended, a knight terrified of seeing blood, and a healer with a chronic inability to shut up and sometimes uses curse to heal, Greji stumbles from one disaster to another. Can he actually take down the demon king, or will his stunning face end up plastered on "Wanted: Dead or Mostly Dead" posters? One thing’s for sure: Greji’s new life is anything but ordinary… or fair. DISCLAIMER!!! I used ai to enhance my grammar but the storyline,dialogues, and idea are mine and mine alone.
