Zhou Dao transmigrated to a world where demons rampaged and Daoist laws ruled. His sect was in straitened circumstances, and their property was on the brink of being demolished. Desperate, Zhou Dao had his eyes fixed on the coffin of the sect’s Grandmaster and decided to do something with it. A voice rang, “D*mn! You are actually plotting to steal my skull. With your attitude, Sunset Mountain has a chance of reaching its heyday again!” On that very night, the corpse of the Grandmaster moved! Moving forward, Zhou Dao would receive rewards whenever he offered up demonic beasts as sacrifices to the Grandmaster. He offered up a 1000-year zombie as a sacrifice and received the Indestructible Body of Demon Refining. He offered up a nine-tailed demon fox as a sacrifice and received a Fox Girl Puppet. He offered up a demon turtle from the Eastern Sea as a sacrifice and received a high-power muscle massage gun. … For eons, countless Daoist members meditated on The Yellow Court Classic. For years to come, Zhou Dao harvested countless demonic beasts with no intention of burying them. Many years later, in the same Daoist temple, Zhou Dao sat at the front door as he bore witness to the joy and the sorrow of all creations. He had seen birth, illness, death, and all sorts of bizarre phenomena. He put on a crooked grin as he said, “I offer up the heavens and the earth as a sacrifice.”

What if you wake up on the morning of your fifteenth birthday to discover a system screen floating over your head? It means you are a Mystic, one of the hundred people born each year who have access to the Celestial system and powers of the universe. What if when you go to get registered as a Mystic at their Academy you discover that all the slots are taken? There are already a hundred mystics in the system. You are a strange anomaly that has never happened in a billion years. Well, you must be none other than Xavier Xerxes. The weird teenager who was bullied for his strange white skin, long snowy hair and pink eyes is now also a Mystic who shouldn't exist. It couldn't have gotten any worse for him. Now he has to attend Celestial Academy to get basic training in leveling up and growing into the full potentials of his powers so he can slay demons and battle monsters from real to realm. He has the opportunity to grow from a human to an Immortal, saving the world along the way. Cool, right? But there's one little problem. Xavier doesn't do anything that could pass off as stressful. No, he prefers to read books in the library. He loves to write stories and poems. He cries through romantic movies. He has never walked farther than a meter in his life. No sporting activity whatsoever. He hates violence. Now they expect him to carry a sword. He is supposed to turn his body into a weapon of destruction, and his mind into a fortress of power. What the hell? How is he expected to survive a day at Celestial Academy when he has been home schooled since he was a child? How is he supposed to kill a bloodthirsty troll when he is scared of spiders? Exercise drills, push ups, war games...meditating? Never before in his life! Right. We all have to wait and see. Hopefully he'll find a way not to die on the first day.

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.

“Have you ever wished that a truck would hit you and you would transmigrate into a world filled with swords and magic? Perhaps you wished that you would be a hero, defeating the villains, protecting the land, and receiving all sorts of admiration and love from the people. I would give you one piece of advice. Perish that thought.” -Ravi West *** Ravi West was a hero of indisputable esteem. As a Sentinel, he traveled the Realms, killing villains and saving entire civilizations.

In the heart of a relentless Russian winter, truth is a fragile flame. Viktor, a reclusive writer burdened by failure and haunted by the voices of his past, retreats to a desolate cabin in a snowbound village. Armed with little more than ink, paper, and a candle—an heirloom of his late mother—he vows to compose a masterpiece that unravels the marrow of human existence. But as the blizzards rage outside, his blank pages echo the haunting void within. Salvation—or perhaps confrontation—arrives in the form of Anna, a widowed woodcutter with hands calloused by labor and eyes sharpened by survival. Her pragmatism clashes with Viktor’s obsession, igniting an uneasy exchange: she leaves wood at his door each morning, and he leaves pages of his manuscript in return—pages she burns unread. As the storm grows fiercer and shadows creep closer, Viktor’s work swells with ambition, but his certainty crumbles. The cabin becomes a crucible where fire and ice, truth and futility, creation and destruction battle for dominance. With his manuscript soaked in melted snow and his spirit stretched thin, Viktor must confront a harrowing question: is the act of creation enough to stave off the weight of despair? Lyrical, haunting, and deeply introspective, The Weight of Shadows is a meditation on the fragility of art, the resilience of the human spirit, and the fleeting warmth of connection amidst the cold.

In a quiet village, Ravi and his family lead a simple yet harmonious life, until a mysterious stranger entrusts them with an unusual lantern engraved with eight arms. The lantern, capable of revealing hidden truths, soon becomes a source of turmoil. As it exposes secrets within the family, trust begins to waver, and doubts creep into their hearts. Misunderstandings threaten to tear them apart until the youngest member, Maya, realizes that the lantern only shows fragments of the truth, not the full picture. The family embarks on a journey to uncover the true purpose of the lantern, learning valuable lessons about trust, forgiveness, and the strength of unity along the way. Ultimately, they discover that truth alone cannot sustain relationships, only faith in each other can. Choosing love over doubt, they bury the lantern and find their way back to harmony, realizing that their bond is the only light they need. A simple and basic tale of family, trust, and redemption, The Light of Eight Hands explores the power of unity in the face of uncertainty.

Kairo Solis was your average broke college dropout—well, if “average” includes accidentally blowing up his microwave with raw energy while trying to make instant ramen. Turns out, he’s got this thing called Aeterna inside him, a mystical energy that can either unlock his infinite potential or turn him into a human firecracker. No big deal. Enter Zephyr Ionis, a shady mentor who appears out of thin air and starts spouting fortune cookie wisdom like, “Your greatest enemy is yourself,” while stealing Kairo’s last slice of pizza. Armed with cryptic advice, zero patience, and a stick he keeps whacking Kairo with during training, Zephyr sets Kairo on the path to becoming a Synchros master. But mastering Aeterna isn’t as easy as meditating and humming "om." For one, Kairo’s got to juggle protecting his little sister, Lina (who thinks Aeterna is just a fancy word for him being a dork), dodging the Shadowed Council (a group of edgy villains who seem to shop exclusively at Hot Topic), and confronting Lucan Drayke—a guy so dramatic he makes villains from soap operas look subtle. Between epic battles that could level city blocks and arguments over who ate the last energy bar, Kairo learns that true strength isn’t about punching harder—it’s about harmonizing with his inner self. And maybe, just maybe, it’s about not accidentally setting his pants on fire when trying out a new ability. Will Kairo save the world? Will he unlock the mysteries of Aeterna? Or will he spend the rest of his life arguing with Zephyr over whether pineapple belongs on pizza? One thing’s for sure: the universe is in for an explosive ride, and Kairo is about to prove that sometimes, the best way to eclipse boundaries is with a little humor and a lot of heart.

In a forgotten corner of the world lies a small, struggling village, isolated and on the brink of collapse. The people are desperate, their lands barren, their hopes fading. Into this despair steps Kaden—a young man with little more than a dream, an iron will, and a fierce determination to make a difference. Once just a boy from a humble family, Kaden has grown into a leader in the face of adversity, driven by a deep sense of duty to his people. As Kaden rises to power, he faces enormous challenges: economic hardship, political corruption, and the skepticism of the very people he's trying to save. Many view him as an untested, idealistic dreamer, but Kaden believes that true leadership comes not from power or prestige, but from action and sacrifice. With unwavering determination, he begins to implement bold reforms—reviving agriculture, forging alliances with neighboring towns, and tackling the injustices that have kept his village in chains. Yet, the road to transformation is not without its dangers. Rivals in the village seek to undermine his authority, and external threats loom from neighboring leaders who see Kaden’s rise as a threat to their own power. As the stakes grow higher, Kaden must confront not only the forces against him but also his own inner doubts, questioning if he can live up to the legacy of the great leader he's trying to become. Through triumphs and failures, Kaden learns the true meaning of leadership—not just the ability to make decisions, but the courage to stand by them and lead others to greatness. As his village slowly rises from the ashes, Kaden realizes that the real victory lies not in the village's newfound prosperity, but in the unity and strength of its people, forged through shared purpose and collective struggle. “The Rise of the Village Leader” is an inspiring tale of hope, resilience, and the power of leadership to shape not only a village but the hearts of those who call it home. In the end, Kaden will discover that greatness is not measured by titles or accolades, but by the lasting impact a true leader can have on the world around them.

Kairo is a boy from the distant future, where technology governs every aspect of life, and human emotions are subdued by advancements that make human connection sterile and efficient. He lives in a world where space travel and AI are common, but true emotional bonds have become increasingly rare. A twist of fate sends Kairo hurtling back in time to ancient Egypt—an era where gods and rituals still rule, and the land is ruled by wisdom and mysticism. In this new world, he meets Amun, a royal boy with a deep spiritual connection to the land, its gods, and its people. Amun is everything Kairo’s world is not: he’s passionate, connected to his traditions, and lives a life full of meaning, yet bound by the limits of his time. Thrown together by fate, Kairo and Amun form an unlikely bond. Kairo, desperate to return to his own time, is captivated by Amun’s wisdom and warmth, while Amun is intrigued by Kairo’s strange ways and otherworldly knowledge. But as their bond deepens, they find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control. Kairo struggles with the inevitable passage of time and the very real possibility that his future will soon pull him away from the boy he’s come to love. As they navigate the dangers of their respective worlds—Kairo, who must hide the secrets of his futuristic origins, and Amun, who must maintain his place in a royal family that sees Kairo as an enigma—they must face the ultimate question: can love transcend time, or will it be consumed by the sands of time itself? Eternal Sands is a sweeping, emotional tale of love across eras, exploring the intersections of time, destiny, and the unyielding power of the human heart.
