I was just a normal orphan… until I wasn’t. One second, I was getting bullied in the countryside orphanage. The next, I fell off a cliff, got chased by a monster, accidentally stepped into a ruin portal, and awakened a system that forces me to evolve. Sounds cool, right? Wrong. Because apparently, my evolution comes with pain. A LOT of pain. But hey, at least I got stronger. And poison-resistant. And possibly traumatized. Now, I somehow ended up inside a academy’s ruin expedition, where everyone thinks I’m some lost amnesiac kid. (Which, for the record, was an accident. I just panicked.)

>This is a GL XIANXIA CULTIVATION NOVEL!!!! >No misunderstandings , Relatively fast paced romance, No other love interests. >There will be quite a few GL & BL side couples. Mo Yuxin was once a brilliant young billionaire—a self-made genius whose life ended too soon. After her untimely death, a mysterious self-proclaimed god chose to bring her back by bestowing a powerful cultivation system upon her. This unique inheritance would allow her to grow stronger in a world where people improve their spirit and body through cultivation. In her previous life, Mo Yuxin had been an orphan, but now she is reborn into a loving family with a caring adoptive mother and a little sister who quickly becomes dear to her heart. Before her reincarnation, Mo Yuxin spent years in a separate realm known as the Inheritance Space. There, she trained relentlessly and achieved a golden core—a mark of extraordinary power. To honor her perseverance and to compensate for her previous life’s lack of a physical form, the self-proclaimed god granted her a golden buddha body, an indestructible and immortal form. Along with this gift came three remarkable blessings: a divine sense that sharpens her perception of the world, a mysterious power whose full potential is still hidden, and the crucial soulmate bond. This bond is essential not only to complete her inheritance but also to share it with her destined partner. It isn’t long before fate leads Mo Yuxin to meet Su Yubing, a kind and brave man who is, in fact, the reincarnation of death itself. Their connection is instantaneous and deep. From the moment they first cross paths, a spark ignites between them. They share quiet, intimate moments under the starlight, where Su Yubing listens with gentle care as Mo Yuxin reveals her hopes and memories of a past life. During moments of danger, he holds her hand and offers a comforting embrace that speaks volumes of his commitment. Their growing closeness deepens into tender romance—each soft kiss and whispered word of love strengthens the soulmate bond that is so vital to unlocking her full inheritance. As their journey unfolds, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing discover a startling truth: Mo Yuxin is the chosen successor of a long-dead god known as the “Rule,” one of the divine beings destined to manage the entire universe. This revelation ties her fate to cosmic forces far beyond anything she imagined. Soon, they learn of an ominous conspiracy led by a dark force called Sha—an embodiment of all negative energy determined to wipe out the original gods. Realizing the gravity of the threat, the couple embarks on an epic quest that takes them across five different worlds. Their mission is to find and destroy the five cores of Sha, with each shattered core weakening the dark entity’s power. Along the way, two powerful women named Law and Life—beings of ancient origin like Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing—guide them and reveal more secrets of the universe and the true extent of their abilities. Throughout their dangerous expedition, the bond between Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing only grows stronger. In every battle and every quiet moment of shared vulnerability, their love proves to be the ultimate source of strength—a light bright enough to challenge even the deepest darkness. Their heartfelt romance becomes the key not only to their own transformation but also to saving the universe from the looming threat of Sha.

"Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

Here one can conjure flames with words and summon thunderclouds with a shout, but it's not all fantasia and ecstasy. The world seemed peaceful enough, but as he learns more and more.

The Earth was shaken by the most powerful earthquake in recorded history—one so immense that its tremors were felt across the entire world. When the chaos subsided, humanity discovered something unimaginable: a colossal, seemingly endless Hole of impenetrable darkness. Driven by curiosity, countless expeditions were launched into what became known as The Abyss. Yet, most never returned. Those who did came back afflicted by a mysterious sickness—Abyss Corruption. While many perished, a few survived, emerging with extraordinary abilities that defied logic. These individuals, now known as Guardians, spearheaded a new era of technological advancement, harnessing the powerful resources found deep within the abyssal depths. A hundred years have passed since the Abyss first appeared. The Guardians, now an elite force, formed their own organization, led by the legendary Archie. One fateful night, Archie stumbled upon a ragged child claiming to have come from the Abyss itself. Skeptical but intrigued, he took the boy in and named him Lounis. What made Lounis extraordinary wasn’t just his immense potential—it was the fact that he wielded an ability despite never having entered the Abyss. Now, as a Guardian, Lounis embarks on perilous expeditions into the abyssal depths. But who is he truly? And what is his connection to the unfathomable entity known as The Abyss? The truth may change everything humanity thought it knew about its greatest mystery

To prepare, humanity was granted access to Elysium, a realm of magic, monsters, and ancient power. Through the Soulweave System, humans could grow stronger, their abilities transferring between worlds. But death in Elysium was absolute, and the struggle for survival was merciless. Now, with only 150 years remaining, Earth has fractured into a dystopia ruled by factions that control access to Elysium’s resources. The Nightspires lead brutal expeditions, the Dawnbuilders refine Aether to sustain Earth, and the Bridgers maintain a delicate balance between the two realms. Meanwhile, the rogue faction known as The Unbound seeks to force the apocalypse forward, wielding forbidden magic to accelerate the collapse of reality itself.

August Harlow was a pretty mediocre player of the 2nd best guild, Burning Ambition, which focused on the very popular VRMMORPG Akathra: Expeditions. The main reasons for that was the fact that the only "burning ambition" August had was to explore. He did like the grind of levels and mobs, but the main reason he did it was to be able to access higher level areas to hunt for lore. Yep that's right August was mainly a lore hunter. Well that was before he was betrayed by his guild when he got a mythic item. His guild killed him repeatedly till he dropped the item and, just to pour salt on his wounds, back to level 1. The real salt was that when he left the game pod, there were people waiting for him, to "silence" him. But fate was a kind mistress because when August closed his eyes for the last time, he also opened them for the 119217600th time. August then swore to himself that this time was going to be different, that he was not going to join a guild just to suffer under the elites, He’d much rather just peacefully collect lore, but then again plans never seem to go exactly to the letter. This is the Story of August The Lorewalker. This is my first novel so I'd like some constructive criticism from you all

Humanity needed a more solid plan - one that would bring results and bring them sooner. Following continuous surveys of space systems, a planet similar to Earth has been found - two times bigger than humanity's home, this new discovery was a true breakthrough.

After several years of observation, the city was considered abandoned. Having analyzed the data, numerous governments agreed on a joint effort to send and expedition to reveal the turth about the city and establish the very first colony on that planet. With the biggest ship made of five modules, over 5,000 strong crew set off on most important mission in humanity's history. John Marlow, a scientific officer and one of many deployed for the expedition, sets on a journey which will challenge his knowledge about the Universe and humankind's origin.
