Qin Hao crossed into a parallel world and unexpectedly inherited the position of the current Celestial Master of the Qingyun Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion. Draped in purple robes, holding the authority of the Xuanmen sect. Bound to the Super Celestial Master System, he could earn different rewards every day by completing designated tasks. Organizing Taoist scriptures, he received the reward [Taiping Qi Technique]! Cleaning the main hall, he received the reward [Innate Golden Light Curse]! Sweeping the mountain gate, he received the reward [Soaring Immortal Step]! Pruning flowers and plants, he received the reward [Innate Yimu Qi Capture Technique]! Wiping the statues of the Three Pure Ones, he received the reward [Righteous Thunder Law]! ... He thought he could live peacefully without trouble, but unexpectedly, a photo that went viral online pushed him into the spotlight. A self-proclaimed fighting champion and male live streamer entered Qingyun Mountain, claiming to seek a man in purple robes for a challenge. A match of martial arts. The live stream was filled with over a million enthusiastic viewers. They supported the male live streamer in exposing a fraud, wondering whether the rumored Celestial Master in purple was truly as powerful as said. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Qin Hao reluctantly accepted the challenge. Qin Hao asked, 'Fellow practitioner, what shall we compare?' The male live streamer smiled confidently: 'I've heard the Celestial Master in purple is unmatched in martial arts; I have practiced free combat since I was young and have specifically come to learn something from you!' Qin Hao shook his head: 'Martial arts, I do not know.' 'What do you know then?' the male live streamer asked. Qin Hao unleashed a palm strike into the air, condensing the five thunders within his palm, and with a mighty slash. Golden thunder transformed into a blade of qi, slicing directly at the challenger. The thunder left in its wake split the 'Challenge the Celestial Master' plaque that the male live streamer had brought, right in front of the mountain gate, into two halves. Qin Hao said with a smile: 'I know thunder spell!!'

Seven thousand years later, she became the Goddess of Darkness, and crowned as the queen of the United Empires of Darkness. She reigned over the United Empires of Darkness, which composed of Devil Empire, Vampire Empire, Werewolf Empire, Snake People Empire, and Dragon Island. She created the strongest army, which composed of seven royal guard regiments, dragon knight army, phoenix knight army, vampire army, werewolf army, snake people army, and dragon army. She blessed her soldiers with superpowers, and her soldiers returned her with loyalty and respect. She hosted eleven fun contests after Christmas, which were Red Wine Brewing Contest, Music Contest, Dancing Contest, Ghost Storytelling Contest, Talent Show Contest, Costume Design Contest, Cooking Contest, Dragon Riding Contest, Horror Storytelling Contest, Romance Storytelling Contest and Fantasy Storytelling Contest. She hosted resurrection ceremonies in Heaven Company for six days, threw thirty chosen souls into another world, and entered another world on her own in the last day, in search of the better self. When she came to her destiny's crossroads, she chose the path not taken, and wondered how things might have been different.

A young warrior sets out in search of glory—but instead, he finds something much worse: a talking sword that utterly despises him. No experience, no courage, and armed with a blade dripping in sarcasm, he stumbles into a journey that might not even be his. A clueless protagonist and an overly perceptive sword. In a world of fantasy and comedy, they will (reluctantly) try to save the world—or just survive without killing each other first.

A story of adventure and discovery. A story of bonds and fellowship. A story of mysteries and mantras. A story of a world only the brave dare to brave. The adventure of a simple young man, brave and strong. A seeker of fun, one who understand the beauty of creation. A creature shrouded in enigma, as deep as the universe. The pursuit of mankind and all creatures in existence. A game of survival, a struggle for dominance. A contest of the braves. Additional tags: Realistic fantasy, Mature, Ecchi, Guild creation, Romantic Subplots.

With storms brewing and the Sheriff closing in, the Princess must make a choice: will she risk everything for a chance at her freedom- and a love as wild as the magic of Stormwatch?

When his lovely bird, Layla, opened the cage he built and flew away, Matthias had made his cruel decision: “If I lose her forever and can’t get her back, I’d rather kill her.”

[Webnovel Rising Star ll Contest] What will you do if you are the younger brother of the number one genius under the heavens? What will you do if you know whatever you do, it will barely be a breeze before the raging flood of your brother's actions? Will you envy him, will you hate him, or will you support him and become a side character of an ever changing dangerous world? This is the situation Eugene found himself at, a boy filled with envy and jealousy toward his brother but also can't help to love him with all his heart. Unfortunately, the world never gave them time to process their complex emotions as things change everyday that seek to not just kill them but destroy their very homeland. This is a world that is barely functioning due to the illusion of hope! The more ignorant you are, the more free you are but power comes with responsibility. Knowledge comes with the dangerous realization that the future is bleak and despair is around the corner. Eugene found himself born in a world that ‘Awakened’ as they called it, humans devolved from Apex Predators centuries ago and are barely cattle for the ever evolving beasts and monsters. Two things saved the humans from extinction, and it wasn't their knowledge or weaponry; they are all useless against intelligent beasts that can do better. What saved them was some benevolent beasts that took them as servants, slaves and some as cattle for rearing. The second thing that saved them was the appearance of Gateway that led to various realms in unknown dimensions that aids them to make a pact with willing beasts. They finally gained strength and power and huddled around Gateways and built Settlements. Eugene found himself in a race against time as he dived into an unknown dimension, filled with mystery and danger that might have the answers everyone desire.
