It’s a journey into the heart of destiny, where every choice shapes the fate of a world on the brink of ruin. In a world where tamers forge sacred bonds with powerful beasts to protect their lands, 17-year-old Kieran has always longed to follow in his father’s legendary footsteps. But when his father mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind whispers of betrayal and danger, Kieran is thrust into a destiny far greater than he imagined. During his Rite of Bonding, Kieran forms an unprecedented bond with Nyx, a shadowfang beast of extraordinary power—and fearsome reputation. Their connection defies tradition, marking Kieran as a Keeper, a rare kind of tamer destined to wield immense influence over both beast and fate. As Kieran and Nyx navigate the challenges of their bond, they uncover ancient secrets tied to the cursed Riftlands, a realm where chaos reigns and beasts of unimaginable strength dwell. Haunted by visions of his father and driven by a growing sense of purpose, Kieran embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth about his father’s disappearance, the Keeper’s forgotten legacy, and the dark forces threatening their world. But destiny is a double-edged sword. As Kieran’s bond with Nyx deepens, so does the danger surrounding them. With the balance of power shifting and enemies closing in, Kieran must decide: will he rise as the Keeper his world desperately needs—or fall, consumed by the very forces he seeks to master?

"Martial Arts World..." Death murmured, shocked by the turn of the events. How could he, primordial being of the afterlife, get tricked by a mere human? Not just a mere human, but also earthling, race that was weakest of the twenty realms. Death realized the extent of his mistake. An earthling had just jumped into the river of the reincarnation, where he definitely didn't belong. It was too late. The damage has been done. The matter was now out of his hands. "Kiernan Hunter..." ... Remake of the Martial Arts System, and while the concept stays the same, the story is completely different. A few names, etc, stays the same, but mostly whole new story. I've wanted to do this for a while, and now I had finally motivation to do it.

Chen Fei looked at the bewildering number of people in front of him who desperately practiced boxing to become a master, sighing. "Compete? I don't think so. My motto is never to stand when you can sit." So the panel answered his call. "Extreme Mountain Fist Technique simplification in progress... simplification successful... Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique" "Extreme Mountain Breathing Method simplification in progress... simplification successful... Breathing" Chen Fei took a deep breath. "Extreme Mountain Breathing Method experience +1." "...So I can cultivate by breathing alone?"

"Sword Cultivators may die standing, but they shall never live on their knees!" Xie Xuanyi fell into the Northern Sea, yet, under the nourishment of the "Undying Spring," he unexpectedly welcomed a second life. Chronic ailments had faded, and new flames reignited. A single ember can set the fields ablaze. Enchantresses, Sword Immortals, Buddhist disciples... A multitude of demons danced chaotically as a great tide approached, heralding another golden age! In his previous life, his body was frail; in this life, he would refine his body with golden vital energy, achieving indestructible, crystal-clear Vajra bones! If the three hundred flying swords of the past were all broken, then he would forge an entire Sword Qi Cave Heaven! "Talismans, formation patterns, Daoist techniques—I only know so much—" Xie Xuanyi sat alone within a great array, with his former long sword placed across his knees. "Who says the path realized by Sword Cultivators can only be the Sword Dao?"

Brielle is one of the few female hunters at the association. Dealing with useless trainees every six months, she has a low tolerance for bullshit. She no longer believes in love, and nothing will change her mind after what happened to her. She believes that the only thing she can love and trust is her job, where she helps protect the defenceless by killing those who use their abilities to get everything they want. Hunting is a thrill that she enjoys more than life itself. Having a minimalist life, the only thing at home she cherishes is her painting. A vampire that refuses to choose a partner for his sister. Ketan will do anything to protect his loved ones, even kill those that threaten his livelihood. Usually, he is calm, gentle, and collected. He stays hidden away from everyone when he does not want anything to do with individuals until the day he is captured and locked away in a dungeon. After that moment, his life changed for good. Cursing the blood that he drinks, Ketan fights against the pull of drinking more blood from the person that donated the blood. An Excerpt from the book: Brielle throws her arms around Ketan’s neck. “I was so worried about you. I did not know what you were going to do or if you would survive.” Ketan smiled and accepted her hug. “I am sorry for worrying you. I had to do what needed to be done. Besides, I knew that this was going to happen and be as painful as it was.” Brielle starts sobbing in his embrace. “I think that you should take what you need from me, Ketan. You will not be able to stand the bloodlust soon… will you?” Pushing her away before losing control. Ketan moves away from her weakly. “Stay back. I am not in control of myself right now. You should not even be here right now. Leave me alone!” Ketan holds his hand out to stop her from coming closer to him. “I can hear your pulse racing; it’s deafening.” “You were fine a moment ago; now you are you pushing me away, Ketan? I can help you.” Brielle leans down towards him and gently pulls him into her arms. “No, stop. I can’t control myself, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. I am not a sedated beast; I lust for every drop of your sweet blood that I hear pumping through your veins, but I must resist. Otherwise, I will harm you in the worst way possible.” Ketan pushes her back and teleports deeper into the cave. “Stay back before I begin to acquire a taste for your blood. It is a deadly thing to tempt fate once again.” Brielle continues to walk into the deep dark cave towards him. “Ketan, I trust you more than I have trusted others. I know that you will not kill me. Just look at how fearful you are right now.” She finally reaches him again. Crying, Ketan grabs her from behind, sits her in his lap. One arm wrapped around her waist, the other in her hair, pulling off the right exposing her neck. Slowly he lowers his lips to her neck, licking the surface testing the flesh. His fangs rest at the hollow of her neck before carefully breaking the skin. He starts to drink her blood deeply, but as he drank, he slowly stopped and lifted his face up, crying while holding Brielle against his body crying. Blood leaking from the bite marks while some drips down his chin. Her body was being held up by Ketan, and her eyes were now closed. Her body seemed lifeless in his arms. She started to slide forward as a deadweight. Ketan catches her and holds her princess style in his lap, rocking back and forth. Crying fresh tears.

In a world not unlike our own, the rapid progress of martial arts had empowered a small group of rebels with supernatural abilities and fostered an unprecedented uprising. The long lived Emperor Taizong's vast army had been routed by the bandit Huang Chao and his gang of commoners. The emperor himself was forced to fend for his life and the fate of his empire in single combat. For the very first time it was personal prowess, not governance and strategy, that dictated the tide of history. Although the emperor had won the battle and forced the rebels into hiding, all semblance of order had been lost and the country splintered, as what little remained of the central government could not reestablish full control of their territory. The countless sects that made up the martial arts society rose up to the occasion to fill the gaps left by the ailing empire, be it to protect or to exploit the common people. Almost two hundred years later, what was once the martial arts underworld had become the forefront of society. What were once sects were now kingdoms, while armies had turned into lone, prodigious swords, upon the edges of which teetered the fates of countless thousands. As law became whim, as technology stagnated, as society regressed, as chaos ruled the land... ...only a single question ran through the minds of the warlords responsible for it all.

Having been transported to a low Martial Arts world devoid of magic and bereft of ways to attain immortality, Xu Xuan had thought his life would be mired in mediocrity, sinking into the mortal world. Unexpectedly, he awakened to the existence of a Divine Mirror that connected two realms, utilizing this mirror to trade materials between the two worlds in search of opportunities for cultivation. From then on, he rose from insignificance, embarking on the path to eternal life. He obtained true enlightenment and transcended the ordinary to become holy. Between heaven and earth, I alone am immortal.

A mysterious ancient magic circle appeared in the classroom, and Wang Yuan, along with his classmates, was unexpectedly transported to another world—a world of cultivation. A world where the strong rule and the weak are crushed. A world for those seeking immortality and the righteous path of heaven, or pursued power and wealth. Wang Yuan and his classmates were granted varying ranks of cultivation talents—some received the highest, while others the lowest. Unfortunately for him, he ended up being the only ones with the lowest cultivation rank. His friends abandoned him, sect leaders looked down on him, and people ignored his existence. Wang Yuan lived in misery with a low cultivation rank. “You’re weak!” “You’re nothing but an ant before me!” “Get out of my sight before I purify your soul for eternity!” But everything changed when Wang Yuan received another ability—Dark Arts Cultivation Path. This allowed him to reach higher realms of cultivation than anyone else could ever achieve. Armed with his astonishing and terrifying power, Wang Yuan vowed to become the strongest among all cultivators. If the heavens had a will for him, then Wang Yuan would defy heaven's will. “Anyone who stands in my way must die!”

Lin Shen was born weak, with almost no spiritual energy, and was always mocked for it. But he refused to give up on his dream of becoming the strongest cultivator. At the academy, he struggled. Others mastered techniques with ease, but Lin Shen barely survived. He was slow, weak, and falling behind. Until a day came when danger pushed him to the edge. To protect his friends, Lin unleashed a dark power he never knew existed—a power that should have remained locked away, a dark power that was known to bring destruction. Now, everything is about to change. This is a story where the main lead also becomes the villain.

In a world shaped by gods, magic, and unwavering faith, Leon awakens to a new life—but not as the naive boy who once wandered its streets. Betrayed and killed in his past, he finds himself reborn as the prophesied deity of a small, devout tribe hidden deep within a mana-rich forest. The villagers, steadfast in their belief, see him as the ancient god Relethis, returned to guide and protect them. But Leon knows the truth—he is no god. Armed only with a unique and mysterious ability to fuse objects and living things into powerful creations, he steps reluctantly into the role they expect him to fill. As Leon performs small miracles—purifying water, cultivating magical plants, and improving their lives—he begins to lose himself in the tribe’s faith and the peace it brings. Though he still remembers the betrayal and pain of his previous life, the weight of his mortal identity grows fainter with each passing day. Yet, the world beyond the forest does not rest. As whispers of his deeds spread, powerful kingdoms, rival faiths, and ancient forces take notice. With his ability growing stronger and the villagers depending on him more than ever, Leon must decide what it truly means to be a god. Will he cling to the past, or will he fully embrace the faith of his people, even if it means forgetting who he once was?

Human beings have walked out of the blue planet. This is an interstellar era where humans are governed by the federation. As humans enter deep into the Universe new races are discovered.

When all nine Stars were opened completely, it would be equivalent to having nine Dantian. (Most unique point to the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.) This is a Yang (阳) cultivation method, specific to males. Once he managed to completely condense his FengFu Star, he would be able to store an extremely large amount of spiritual energy. Then he could attempt to agglomerate his blood vessels and enter the Blood Condensation stage, thus becoming a true martial artist. As the FengFu Star grew larger, his physical body also changed with it and became stronger. The FengFu Star was just like a spring nourishing his whole body. His current transformation made him greatly different from his old self. Each Star requires ‘nine transformations’ to become perfect.” The other most peculiar aspect of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was that while ordinary cultivators had to cross only nine Heavenstages for each cultivation realm, Long Chen has to go through thirteen Heavenstages to enter the next realm. Besides, after the ninth Heavenstage, each increase allowed his power to explosively multiply.
