Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..."

The Legend of Shadow Knight

Hello my dear Earthlings, It is official now. From December 16, 2023, the Gregorian calendar I am an earthling too. It is not because I was born on that day. Rather, because I was reborn that day. I am what you call a transmigrator. I am now occupying the body of the earthling named Tej. He was struggling as a writer while stewing in a full-time day job that he hated. Yes, you read it right. I am a transmigrator. Very much like the ones you have read about in other novels on this platform. I am from a world completely different from Earth. But I am sure that most of you who are reading this are familiar with a world like that. It is the world of magic. A world with mana, mages, knights. Rogue bandits, dark forces, demonic beasts, divine churches. Familiar, isn’t it? As you might have guessed, because of mana’s presence an individual can get way too powerful. Our development is focused on Mana. In a way most of our methods of travel, the tools of war, and many more are very much archaic. Our world’s power revolves around a few powerful individuals who rule over millions. Because those few individuals hold the power to destroy millions within their bodies. In that world people with talent and power aim to be the strongest and fight for what they want. In that world, I was born with decent talent. But I wasn't obsessed with power. I was obsessed with the stories. Stories and legends of great heroes, villains, and monsters passed from generations. With that fascination, I cultivated my talents to the fullest potential. I dreamt of traveling the world and unearthing the legends. I wanted to make them known throughout the world. Just like the former Tej, I wanted to be a storyteller as well. And unlike Tej, I have had some success. From the first exploration I embarked to capture the story of the Golden Knight capturing the Draconic Shark, I have covered many stories. Including the legend of the shadow knight, the revenge of the fallen angel, the conquest of the forgotten land and many more. I have followed those events, investigated them and even seen some, met the people involved in it. I wrote those stories so the rest of the world could read them. I did all of that along with a special innovation of mine that could capture images. It does the same job as the thing that you call a camera. In your world, I am what you might consider an investigative journalist. I spent my whole life exploring stories. I have seen my world change bit by bit. I have seen one man destroy it, another man rebuild it, a several trying to preserve it and many more trying to conquer it. It is safe to say I had a great and meaningful life. When I was lying on my deathbed at an old age, I had a smile on my face as I looked at the world outside of my window. I knew I was dying with no regrets. Next thing I knew, I am in the body of this young man, Tej. I got accustomed to this new world with no mana, no magic, but equally convenient if not more, I must say. As much as I was fascinated by the novel inventions and the busier-than-god lifestyles, I was saddened by Tej’s life. I can only say, that he didn’t die the same way that I did. He died a life full of regrets, all the sorrow he suppressed within… In a way, death must have been a release for him and I wish all the peace for his soul. And I found my purpose. To honor the soul of Tej, I shall tell the stories of my world to you on his behalf and in his name. I shall make his name known as a great storyteller. (Note: So, keep my transmigration part a secret. Let’s just keep it between us.) And I will start with my first story. The Legend of the Shadow Night. Its a story of one man's ambition, one man's loss and one man's retaliation. So, interpret as you may and make a judgment on your own. Disclaimer: For convenience sake, I will use Tej as my name in the Story as well.

Legend of the Archaic Epoch

In a world where life and death intertwine, Ji Ning wakes up to find himself in the underworld—the legendary Yin Cao Di Fu, the realm of the dead. He is now a ghost, stripped of his mortal identity and status, marching in an endless line of lost souls. The scene is a grim one: towering, terrifying ghost soldiers wield crackling whips of electricity, driving the dead forward through their path of afterlife judgment. Among the ghosts are the remnants of once-powerful kings, warlords, and arrogant warriors—none spared the harsh reality that in death, they are nothing. Rank, wealth, and power all vanish, leaving only the vulnerable, fragile soul. Ji Ning is no different. He has vague memories of his death but doesn’t recall how he got here. His soul drifts through the ranks of the dead, surrounded by a cacophony of grief and denial—newly deceased spirits weep, scream, and rage at their fate, still clinging to the notion that they are alive. Even those with ties to great power, like the self-proclaimed "Prince" with three thousand soldiers, are quickly silenced by the cruel lash of the ghost soldiers' whips. The air crackles with energy as Ji Ning listens to their futile cries, wondering how someone from a modern society could end up in such a fantastical place. He had never heard of cavalry units of three thousand in today's world; something is clearly off. As Ji Ning trudges forward, barely daring to speak lest he be beaten like the others, he begins to notice the depth of the underworld’s complexity. Long lines of white-clad souls stretch into infinity, each line seemingly endless, and every few moments, a new ghost appears out of nowhere, taking its place at the end of the queue. The souls come from all walks of life: commoners, warriors, lords, and even monstrous creatures like the son of the Great Snow Mountain Demon King, who arrogantly threatens the ghost soldiers, only to be swiftly beaten into submission. It becomes clear that in the underworld, previous life status means nothing. Regardless of their former power or grandeur, the dead are all equal here—equally insignificant. Time loses meaning for Ji Ning. He walks in silence, with no hunger, no need for sleep, and no hope for escape. The journey through this eerie landscape feels eternal. He has heard that the afterlife has different stages, each more terrifying than the last, but no one knows what fate awaits them. There are whispered rumors that some souls, particularly strong or notable in life, may be summoned for judgment or even reincarnated, while others may face eternal suffering.

Journey of a Demonic Mage

Archmage Kaiser, a demonic mage and minister of the ancient kingdom of Eternius, was on the cusp of his last breakthrough into the Immortal state when he was served a poisoned cup of wine and an impossible choice. Being betrayed most thoroughly by the very empire he swore to forever protect. A vicious end for a vicious man, or so they say. However, on his deathbed, consumed by vengeance and a burning wrath, the mage made an oath against the world: "Kill me, fine. Say it is retribution for my sins, repentance for my soul. But why have you touched my son! My wife! My everything is now gone and dead! And so I curse you! Eternius. King Holt. Prime minister Anderson. I, Kaiser Grayson, will burn my life and soul. Never to find peace or salvation. A forever damned spirit! I will stake it all to watch this wretched kingdom topple by my own hands! No matter the cost! This blood that runs cold I serve to you, ruler of law and exchange. Take mine spirit and lend me strength. . ." Ad Eternum. . . At the same time as Archmage Kaiser's death. A child in the alleyways is left within an inch of life. Its filthy, grubby hands clinging desperately onto a toy rabbit as he closes his eyes wearily for one last time, sobbing as he recalled the faint memory of a lonesome girl alone in an attic. The next time this same child awakened, only darkness and murder would stare past his soulless eyes. A vengeance that stained his soul tar black. Hereby, the sins of hell would bear forth and witness the rebirth of Kaiser. The demon mage of destruction.

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord

Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape! I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
