Aether Temple

Betrayed by her lover and offered as a sacrifice in a temple's ruined altar, Violet vowed to return the grievance a hundred-fold to all that conspired for her demise. The lover she cherished for almost 10 years left her for dead without even giving her a glimpse, selfishly saving only himself. What did she even do to deserve this betrayal? When did this evil plan of this man start? Did he have help from others? When her life was about to end, the temple gave her a gift to start over which she readily accepted at that time of desperation. The question was, is it really a gift or a curse?

Introduction One: When Jiang Shouzhong finally resolved to help his wife vanquish demons and uphold the righteous path of the human world, he saw nothing but piles of white bones. Standing atop the battlefield of Asuras, the demoness was none other than his former wife. —— Introduction Two: Above the temple halls, beneath the rivers and lakes, where the world of humans and demons divide, along the righteous and evil paths, countless charismatic individuals weave lives full of fireworks, unable to exhaust the tales of snow, moon, wind, and flowers. Kings and generals, peddlers and pawnbrokers, scholars and swordsmen, fiends and phantoms, they are all but pages in a book—each of varying thickness, some with twists and turns, others dull and ordinary, filled with ups and downs, joy and sorrow, or a mix of good and evil, with causes and effects unending. And the book of Jiang Shouzhong's life is undoubtedly the most captivating of all. ——

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.”

Xu Zimei found himself reborn, carrying with him all the heaven-shaking cultivation and memories from his previous life. But something was off about the script. Isn’t reincarnation always the protagonist’s theme? However, I was cast as the villain! This is the story of a villain's step-by-step journey to becoming the Demon King. —————————— In an era of great strife, where mystical arts resonated! An elder of the True Martial Holy Sect sat at the Willow Bank River Fishing Platform when suddenly he heard the dragon’s roar. Three thousand carps knocked at the gate of life, transforming into the Measureless Golden Dragon, soaring through the firmament, graceful as a startling swan! There were strongmen who measured the heavens and earth with their strides, monks who sat in meditation in temples for three thousand years, achieving sudden enlightenment—auspicious clouds descended, and all laws of magic cheered in chorus. Blood moons darkened the night, rainbows cut through the daylight. There was a swordsman with a wooden sword on his back who, with a turn and a raise of his hand, shattered thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. In the south of the city, a ragged beggar with a broken willow twig dared to assault the Holy Court of a sect that boasted three emperors.

The world was cruel..... Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine. Aether was one of them.... Aether, an individual born with a silver spoon, found himself discarded like a defective product. He had longed for love and tenderness, but what others showed him was nothing but pain. Even in the face of that pain, he smiled not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. Despite the heartbreak, he entered into a hell called society with a beautiful smile..... "Can't you do a single thing!!" "..." "You are fired!!!" "....W-Wh.." "I am sorry, Sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to enter our company!!" "....I-I am..." "I am sorry, Sir, but we cannot provide a loan for your ideas without reassurance!!" "....W-Why?" "I heard your father is a politician.... So, You know...." "...." After a long struggle, he finally got a job, but his brother's words rang in his ears: "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me, of course. So, don't ever contact me or even MY parents" his brother declared. "...Heh..." Just as he believed he had earned society's recognition, an unforeseen event claimed his pathetic, seemingly worthless life.... "HONK!! HONK!!" Yet, amidst the cruelty of society, he defiantly cried, “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” Witnessing his heartfelt cry and desire to live in the hellish place called society, he was granted a second chance. ~Ding!~ However, even in this new life, his situation remained unchanged. He continued to struggle not only to live and eat but also..... seduction. "HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE THE PRINCESS!!" ".....he..he... B-But I didn't seduce her!!" "HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE MY MOTHER!!" "...Hehe" "YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TO SEDUCE MY WIFE, DON'T YOU?" "HEHEHEHEHEE....." _________________ Discord Server Link: 6JA46z23bw

"I’m only trying to protect you," she responded. Asher sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I need some space, alright? I can take care of myself."

Are you going to leave me because I'm no use to you anymore?” Her voice had turned cold, sharp enough to cut through the silence. “Of course not, you know that’s not the reason…” “Then why do you want me to stop following you?” “I’m just going to the restroom, for God’s sake!” He massaged his temple, clearly at his wit’s end. “Oh, you should have said that earlier.” She giggled, the earlier tension melting away. “I did,” he sighed in defeat.

These fragments, relics of a forgotten age, are both a beacon of hope and a harbinger of destruction. Whoever reunites them will wield the power to reshape reality—or shatter it beyond repair.

Each step forward draws them closer to Malrik, whose shadow looms larger with every passing day, and to the ultimate question: can the Diadem be used to save their world—or will it destroy them all?

In a world where power and identity are tied to the mastery of a single elemental force, the community of Solarys thrives on balance and tradition. Here, every family is bound to one of the six elements: fire, water, earth, air, light, or shadow. The abilities of each child are revealed at birth, etched into their palms as sacred symbols.

Master of the Six Elements is a tale of courage, self-discovery, and the price of defying tradition.

The world was once protected by a barrier known as the Veil. Eighty years ago, the Veil shattered, fracturing reality itself and merging Earth with fragments of otherworldly realms called Shards. These Shards brought untold dangers, treasures, and monsters — but also gave rise to Shardbreakers, individuals who wield the chaotic, unpredictable energy of the Aether to control and battle within the Shards. Yun Tae-Hyun, an unremarkable delivery boy, lives in the neon-lit chaos of Seoul, surrounded by Shardbreakers, rogue traders, and monstrous threats. He has no Aether Mark, no special powers — until one fateful day when a Shardstorm strikes, and an immense Shard crashes into him. The forbidden fragment awakens a forbidden power within him: the ability to distort reality itself. But this power comes at a cost. Tae-Hyun’s newfound abilities — teleportation, dimensional slashes, and gravitational manipulation — are wildly unstable and dangerous. As he grapples with the chaos of his abilities, he attracts the attention of both powerful Clades of Shardbreakers hunting him for his Forbidden Shard and monstrous, mind-bending enemies born from the shards. With the Arbiter, a mysterious figure who claims to be the creator of the Veil, pulling the strings, Tae-Hyun must navigate a fractured world, protect his sick sister Ji-Hye, and decide whether to restore the Veil, which would erase all the Shards — and humanity — or embrace his dangerous powers to forge a new world from the remains. Caught between factions, monsters, and his own spiraling descent into chaos, Tae-Hyun must master his Distortion powers before they consume him — or the world will be consumed instead. --- This is a tale of survival, choice, and the unpredictable consequences of wielding immense power. Shardbreaker promises high-stakes, emotionally driven action with mind-bending combat and a hero who must decide whether saving the world is worth losing himself.

Lucan Ironfist came from a noble family, but he wasn't the eldest son. When his brother became the head of the family and he turned 18, Lucan would become a commoner. A strange rule, but that's how it was. So Lucan began to think of a way to live a peaceful life. As he was considering this, his mother arranged for him to become a priest in another city. A priest didn't have to worry about food or housing, and all he had to do was watch over the temple and the statue. It was easy work, so he agreed and arrived at the city. One day, as he was watching over the temple and the statue, a poor-looking girl came to pray. When she prayed to God, light gathered around her body. Lucan was surprised and suddenly remembered the plot of a certain game. Originally, Lucan was from Earth and had traveled to this fantasy world. When he was on Earth, he played a game with a plot where a merchant family's illegitimate daughter, bullied by her family, awakened the power of a saint. Lucan decided to keep this secret and train the saint so that in the future, he could have an easy life and save himself from any crises. --- **Please do not rate the novel until you have read at least 20 chapters.
