The Omniversal Vagrant

Li Wei, who once reached the peak of existence—that incomprehensible threshold where thought and the void merge, and universal laws dissolve into truth itself—has returned to the past. In this return, he lost control of his vast laws and powers, becoming trapped in a mortal body. He retains memories of his previous life, but these are only intangible fragments, impossible to fully control or use while his fragile mortal existence confines him. Unable to override this world's rules, his destiny is tied to it, forcing him to be just another person in its intricate web. Awakening as a simple vagabond in a ruthless and cruel Murim, where ancient clans like the Righteous Sect factions, the Murim families, and the fearsome Demonic League vie for control, Li Wei must climb from scratch. His only hope lies in two unusual artifacts: the enigmatic Mirror of Truth, which not only reveals weaknesses and allows him to modify or create martial techniques at a brutal cost in energy and treasures, but also offers a glimpse into cosmic truths; and the System of Ascension, a separate entity that rewards him for defeating or subjugating powerful individuals, and grants access to a hidden shop with Murim lineages and treasures at astronomical prices. With these treasures, Li Wei must be astute, accumulating resources and overcoming difficult battles, always vigilant not to be exposed while devising complex plans to ascend. But this Murim is not what it seems. Beneath the veil of known factions, a clandestine group of Divine-Level Murim Overlords—forgotten legends, both men and women—secretly manipulates the world. It is a modified realm, perhaps a creation or an experiment of an unknown god. However, for Li Wei, the true terror lies in the chilling suspicion his sealed memories hint at: this world, like many others, might be nothing more than an illusion. His obsession with true reality drives him beyond the Murim. He knows there are ancient immortal worlds and magical universes, some based on Earth's novels and parallel universes created by common human minds, sometimes others products of the fantasy of unknown gods residing beyond comprehension. But the search for truth is not merely a goal of power or longevity; at that level of strength, years of life or power no longer matter. It is a search for a truth that feeds his being, a truth that isn't controlled. Li Wei yearns for a reality where there is no external control or hidden influences, a place where his existence, however insignificant it may seem, is genuine. A truly real universe where only truth matters. This desire compels him to face the unknown, willing to die or press on. He seeks access to universes that are not novels or known parallels, to true worlds where no gift or conspiracy exists, only raw survival without luck or predetermined limits. There, the power of the Mirror and the System might become useless. Li Wei is willing to fall into the nirvana of death or to follow that faint ray of hope guiding him towards a real universe, where the only law is the struggle for supremacy and survival, increasing the danger that he might not survive, nor will any of his powers function at all.

Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Everyday was the same for Skullius. An Undead minion of the lowest order like him, didn’t have to find a grand purpose… other than mining mana gems for his Lich master, of course. His peers thought so. They lacked ambition. To be fair, so did he. But there was just that something that kept nagging at him. A spark that no other skeleton seemed to have. Other than being the sassy bullshitter obsessed with mana that he was, why did Skullius vaguely remember being something other than a Moronic Undead drone once? What had come before his Undeath? In the end, it was this spark that allowed our atrocious hero to escape the clutches of his evil master and reach another world. And it is in this world, chock full of dangers – most beckoned by Skullius’ abnormally horrendous luck, to be honest – that the skeleton’s journey begins. In Aigas – the new world – he prepared for the greatest getback of an age armed with a power greater than that of the Liches of Deadmanland! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop? A: (Author) -Is this the same reader?! Anyway, I’ll give a range. Read a minimum of the first 20 chapters to a max of up to chapter 44 before you decide on anything too rash.

Medusa's Lover (GxG)

Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Athena then kicked Medusa out, far from her temple and home. Medusa met Perseus, but he did not kill her. Instead, he was given an artifact by Medusa that would help him on his journey, and Medusa chose to disappear from the earth. She lived in seclusion, far from the human world, wrapping her snakes in a turban if she needed to venture into the human realm, and lived alone for centuries.

Loveless Years; Until We Meet Again

Madelyn believed she would find a blissful home far away from her fears once she conceived Rafael's child and secured his commitment and affection by raising their child together. However, her world was shattered when Rafael brought her step-sister, who was pregnant with his child. His devastating confession left her reeling: he never wanted a child with her; everything he had shown her was just a game, and he never intended to let her go. Fortunate to escape death, Madelyn returned under the guise of her twin sister's identity to escape her obsessed husband but retained her name, 'Madelyn Fox'. Now, she’s back with a burning vendetta—to reclaim what is rightfully hers and crush those who dared to harm her, making them pay for every ounce of misery they inflicted on her in the past. Love? A weakness she has no time for. Forgiveness? Never once crossed her mind. All Madelyn wants is to see them crawl, begging for mercy she’ll never grant as she watches them suffer. ....... Author’s Note for Longtime Readers: Just a quick note—this story still follows the same plot, with Madelyn being cold and ruthless in her pursuit of revenge. The characters’ names have been changed for personal reasons, but the core of the story hasn’t changed. Also, I’m sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been going through some health issues and needed time to recover. Please do not read the premium chapters yet until the updated storylines are complete up to Chapter 70. I'll keep updating till the completion of the story, but please note that updates may not be daily, as I’m also working on a new project. Thanks so much for your patience and support—it means a lot!

How To Fall In Love With Eyes

Yeon-Jun is a dedicated barista at a quaint cafe operated by Sung-Hoon Cha, the son of the man who once saved Yeon-Jun's life. He grapples with selective mutism, a condition that emerged after the traumatic experience of witnessing his parents' tragic death. Although the details of his past have faded from his memory, his body retains the imprint of those painful events. It was during this darkest chapter of his life that Sung-Hoon's father discovered him alone and heartbroken, offering him shelter and a semblance of safety. Despite never having envisioned a future as a barista, Yeon-Jun made a solemn promise to Sung-Hoon's father on his deathbed—to forever stand by his side. This vow compelled Yeon-Jun to forsake his own aspirations and instead pursue a life marked by unrelenting work and perpetual anxiety. Conversely, Woo-San Kim is the affluent CEO of K&L Entertainment, a company steeped in legacy as he belongs to an illustrious lineage of chaebols, being an eighth-generation heir poised to inherit substantial assets from his grandfather. Like Yeon-Jun, Woo-San has also faced the grief of losing both parents to illness, which has led to a strained relationship with his controlling grandfather. The elder Kim holds steadfast to his authority, adamantly refusing to relinquish the company, opting instead to orchestrate a competition among Woo-San, his half-brother, and his cousin for the right to inherit the family fortune. Throughout his childhood, Woo-San has been accompanied by Hee-Jun Go, a devoted friend and secretary who was rescued by Woo-San's father. Hee-Jun, having been separated from his own family at a young age, appreciates the depth of loyalty and friendship. In a heartfelt gesture, Woo-San offers to help Hee-Jun locate his long-lost brother, during which he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Yeon-Jun at the café, captivated by the quiet strength and resilience hidden beneath Yeon-Jun's struggles. However, when Woo-San’s grandfather learns of his burgeoning feelings for Yeon-Jun, he delivers a menacing ultimatum: marry someone of his grandfather's choosing or face disinheritance. Feeling cornered with little left to lose, Woo-San contemplates capitulating to the marriage arrangement, all the while suspecting that his grandfather is orchestrating a more sinister plot that preys on Woo-San's unresolved trauma, compelling him to wrestle for his inheritance. As tensions rise within this power dynamic, Woo-San feels an undeniable connection to Yeon-Jun, yet finds that Yeon-Jun’s condition renders him unable to express his own feelings. Desperate to flee the confines of the forced marriage, Woo-San resolves to turn his grandfather's manipulative tactics against him. In this quest for autonomy, he uncovers unsettling truths that extend far beyond his own life, jeopardizing not only his future but also deeply affecting Hee-Jun, Sung-Hoon, and even his grandfather himself. Faced with this newfound knowledge—one he wishes he could unlearn—Woo-San must grapple with difficult decisions. Will he risk exposing his own vulnerabilities to protect Yeon-Jun? Will he succumb to his grandfather’s wishes to secure his inheritance, or will he forge a path driven by empathy and commitment to those who have become family to him? The weight of these revelations threatens to alter the course of their lives forever. Author's Note: I apologize if this gets a delayed update. My country decided to randomly go to war this Tuesday and I live near the border. So, yeah.

Deathcallers Saved Me!

Tomas Chavez, a Filipino high school student from Roxas, Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines, died by Truck-kun and was reincarnated into a seemingly normal fantasy world with a new body and identity. He was known as Karolo Sala. That new world had some practical technologies while retaining its medieval and fantasy style. But settling down was not possible due to a war known as the Curse War, which was ongoing. That war is between the summoned 4 Horsemen, who were summoned by a shady organization known as the Order of the Deathcallers, and the humans. The same organization also brought death to those who, unfortunately, became their targets and victims. The world was in chaos, and Karolo was so unlucky after mistakenly settling down in a city known as Pâine Dela Větry, in the country called Revivir No Fern in the Central Territory. While in the middle of the war and fighting, Karolo got involved and was killed by two of the many Deathcallers, the siblings Dan and Vanda Ciercello. These two, who had a sad childhood, realized what they did to him and those who got involved in the fighting and decided to abandon their duties to the Order and save Karolo from death. However, the wounds proved to be too severe and deep for their healing magic to do the work. So, Dan decided to use a magical technique called Healing of Repentance. It is a rare technique that would heal any physical or mental ailments, but this will cost them one thing: their loyalty. This means that once that was being used, Dan and Vanda will be loyal to Karolo, probably literally for life. But Dan and Vanda will do anything to bring Karolo back to life. And…they did so, and Karolo was brought to life. Dan and Vanda then apologized to him and vowed and swore their loyalty to him to atone for their sins of bringing atrocities to humanity. And so, the three of them worked together to end the war to bring peace to the world again. And they did so, and the Curse War ended with the bad demons wiped out of existence and the Summoned 4 Horsemen returned to the Realm of the Fires. But the story of their new lives was just starting after the war had ended.
