For millennia, the supreme deity Chi ruled the pantheon of ancient Nigerian gods with balance and wisdom. But when Chi suddenly stepped down without appointing a successor, chaos erupted among the four most powerful gods—Ogun of Iron and Lightning, Sango the Storm Bringer, Baba Aye the Master of Earth and Spirits, and the River Goddess Osara. What followed was a devastating war that threatened to tear the world apart. In the midst of this chaos stood Ekwensu—the trickster god, misunderstood and feared. Seeing the looming destruction of the world, Ekwensu made the ultimate sacrifice: using cunning and power, he sealed away the warring gods, ending their reigns—but at a cost. Branded a villain and destroyer, Ekwensu was hunted by mortals and gods alike. In a final act of redemption, he shattered his own essence into soul weapons scattered across the universe and took his own life, ensuring reincarnation every 200 years. Now, in a futuristic but deeply traditional Nigeria, war looms again. Strange natural disasters and divine signs signal the return of old powers. The gods are awakening—but corrupted and unstable. A secret coalition from the four god-kingdoms sends their most powerful teenage warriors on a mission: find the reincarnated Ekwensu, reunite him with his soul weapons, and restore balance… or risk annihilation. But they’re not the only ones hunting him.

Everything was going well for him: a well-earning job, a car, a home, but then he was tossed into a world of immortals, in the body of Jade Beauty of all things! ------- Hello, there. I'd written this novel a while back and only recently picked it up again, and decided to post it. I write mostly for fun, so uh... I can guarantee no update consistency. I will try to post 3 to 4 chapters a week, but again, I can't guarantee anything. PS: This is a Gender Bender work. If you dislike that, this is not for you; just don't give it a bad rating/review for that. However, Gender Bender does not have much relevance to the story. This was an idea I had a long time ago when I'd read the first Transmigrated-into-Villain/Young Master story. That's when I wondered what if it was written from the perspective of the Jade Beauty instead? So, I came up with the idea of some guy transmigration into the body of one. But at the time, I despised the 'conflict' that came with the category, so I kinda skipped the entire thing. So don't expect gender identity issues from this story - even if there are, it will be resolved in a few chapters at most. This is primarily a Progression Fantasy/Power Fantasy from a Jade Beauty's perspective. Though, you can also think of it as an amateur author's way of escaping his responsibilities and not studying the female psyche deeply. Like I said - I write for fun. PPS: I don't have much writing experience and I do want to improve, so your critiques are welcome. Just don't be too harsh - my glass heart might just break. PPPS: MC will be extremely strong in her Cultivation Stage - and the strongest later on, but that doesn't mean much in the Cultivation World, where there is always a 'Heaven beyond the Heavens'. PPPPS: This is still a WIP. I have the general plot idea in mind, but nothing concrete. Plus, I haven't made the mechanics of this world as concrete as I would like. So, I might make minor changes here and there. If I do make such changes, I'll do it retroactively across all relevant chapters. So, early readers might get a little confused, and I apologise for that. Of course, I'll post a note when I do make changes. PPPPPS: This story will take a while to pick up. So don't expect MC to have tremendous odds stacked against her from the very beginning. In fact, this will be more slice-of-life at the beginning.

He wakes up drenched in blood he never shed, haunted by a face he’s never seen. And the world still calls him normal. Rio Kaelen was never supposed to matter. Just another student at the Great Academy. No titles, no bloodline, no miracles. But the dreams won’t stop. A man with no name. A rainstorm that never ends. A voice whispering from the dark: “You were never meant to be here.” Strange powers start to awaken. Old gods stir in silence. And the more Rio digs the more the world starts to unravel. There was once a throne above all creation. Now it’s empty. Waiting. They say history forgets the unworthy. So why does the past keep chasing him?

I'm just a normal person. Yes, a very normal person with a few hobbies like bullying evil spirits, burrowing money from my lazy boss, play poker here and there. Fry a few ghosts when feeling down to pair with alcohol. Life is just the way I like it. Until some idiots blew up my work place one day. I had no choice but to crawl my way up from underground to deal with this mess. Hm? Wait? Is that who I think it is? I think I just found my long lost husband?! Hey! That handsome young man over there! Yeah, you! Don't think you can escape from me!

I reborn into a world of immortal cultivation. My sense of security has fallen to the bottom, what else can I do? The camouflage talent must be maxed out, as long as you can't see me, you can't catch me. The defense talent must be maxed out, as long as you can't hit me, it's not me who hurts my hand. The blood recovery talent must be maxed out, as long as my life breath is as strong as a dragon, we can have fun together!

Mikhail DuPont was once a ruthless real estate magnate with strong architectural and engineering prowess , sharp-tongued, feared in boardrooms, and buried under concrete empires built on shortcuts and ego. But when betrayal and arrogance brought it all crashing down, death came not as an end, but a reset. Now he wakes in 2005, inside his younger body, gasping for breath and surrounded by the raw smell of wet earth and rebar. It’s the week his very first construction project failed—a project that marked the beginning of his slow, calculated rise and eventual fall. Armed with nothing but his memories, foresight, and the burn of regret, Mikhail begins again—not to chase wealth, but to build something that lasts. But the past refuses to lie still. Suspicious contractors, greedy landowners, and familiar faces from his old life stand in his way. And this time, he doesn’t have power or money—only blueprints, broken trust, and a second chance he refuses to waste. As he navigates dusty lots, skeptical allies, and brutal business truths, Mikhail must unlearn the arrogance that once defined him and prove—brick by brick—that empire isn’t about scale. It’s about integrity. The Reincarnated Developer: From Cement to Empire is a grounded, emotionally-driven story of second chances, industrial ambition, and the cost of building something real. There are no systems. No cheats. Just one man, his past mistakes, and the future he’s determined to rebuild.
