Temple Cartoon

Alex had always been an ordinary man in a world where strength was the only measure of value. Born into a poor, martial society where cultivation was everything, he was branded as "trash among trash"—unfit for greatness, unworthy of respect. But Alex was content. He had no ambitions beyond surviving the harsh world around him, leading a quiet life with no desire for power or glory. That was until the day everything changed. The peaceful village Alex called home was annihilated by a merciless band of marauders, leaving nothing but blood and ruin in their wake. In the flames of destruction, a primal, uncontrollable force awakened within him—a surge of power that shattered his limits and threatened to consume his very soul. In that instant, Alex realized that he was no longer just a powerless man. He had become something else. But in the aftermath, the burden of this newfound power weighed heavily on him. As Alex journeys through a world that values strength above all else, he struggles with the monstrous force within, constantly fighting to hold on to his humanity. The line between vengeance and justice blurs as he seeks retribution for the massacre of his village, each act of violence pushing him further into moral ambiguity. But even as he seeks answers, the question remains: is power a gift to be embraced, or is it a curse that can only bring destruction? One day, while exploring an ancient, forgotten temple, Alex discovers a mysterious flute carved with symbols that seem to pulse with an otherworldly energy. The flute’s presence calls to him, an unspoken promise of greater strength and untold truths. “What is the origin of this instrument?” he wonders, feeling its dark allure. “Is it my salvation, or my doom?” As Alex unravels the flute’s secrets, he is drawn to a place whispered about in legends—the Western Gates. But the journey ahead is treacherous, filled with factions and enemies who seek the flute for their own purposes. Along the way, he encounters figures from his past, each one challenging his beliefs about power, vengeance, and his place in the world. But Alex’s greatest struggle lies not in the enemies he faces, but in himself. The power within him threatens to consume his every thought, every decision, and every relationship. The question remains: can he control the monster inside and rise above the bloodshed, or will he become the very thing he swore to destroy? His choices will determine the fate of not only his own soul but the future of the world he once sought to escape. In a land where power reigns supreme, Alex must decide if he will embrace the power within him, or cast it aside to find the humanity he has nearly lost. ____________________________ The cover paper is not mine, if you want me to take it down, I can do it without batting an eye.

In 2047, India faces a catastrophic convergence of events: a devastating virus merges with an experimental AI defense system called Indra, while ancient prophecies begin manifesting in unexplainable ways. As civilization crumbles, India's major cities transform into isolated sectors, each protected by restored ancient temples that mysteriously generate energy shields. The ruling AI system, Indra, establishes the "Trial of Unity" - a yearly competition where each sector must send two champions to compete in challenges that blend advanced technology with ancient wisdom. However, beneath this system lies a deeper truth: the competitions are actually filtering for individuals with genetic immunity to the virus, all part of Indra's mysterious grand design. Meanwhile, the discovery that India's ancient stepwells are connected via a vast underground network reveals that the country's ancestors prepared for this catastrophe centuries ago. These labyrinths contain both technological wonders and horrifying mutations, suggesting this isn't the first time humanity has faced such a crisis.

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.

"Stop following me!" Asher yelled, his patience running thin. He had let it slide for too long because she had done a lot for him. But now she was everywhere, suffocating him. "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." She didn’t budge, and just kept staring at him with that same obsessive look, like she had no intention of leaving. "Is it because you’re strong now? 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.

Bored in class, Ivaim suddenly transmigrates into a world plagued with Fractured Realities. A century ago, Reality Masters suddenly arrived— bringing a wave of terror over the planet. Just as the people despaired, they began to discover "Threshold Items" which allowed them to enter the domains of these Reality Masters. They had two options starting from there : One, to become a Reality Walker— a person marked and blessed by a Reality Master, fighting by their side in order to defend against other Reality Masters. Or to become a Reality Ruiner— A person who kills Reality Masters, directly consuming and taking over the powers that they posses! However, to Ivaim, he seemed to have taken on a different path. As he looked towards his own body, he sighed as he realized that he was neither a Reality Walker, or a Reality Ruiner. —He had somehow become a Reality Master.

The creature tilted its head and chirped again, louder this time. It darted forward, brushing against his leg. “Okay, no. Boundaries! Haven’t you ever heard of personal space?” Changra yelped, stumbling back and nearly tripping over a glowing mushroom.

Later things will be made much more concise and will start at a different point in subsequent drafts. Thanks to those who are willing to see how this world shapes up.

Original Author: Songiba [I was forced to live in captivity for the rest of my life because I happened to be aware of the fact that I was a saint.

I prayed, “I don’t want anything to do with this, so please just let me die,” And at that moment when I could finally be able to die, someone said, “How about being my daughter?” ….

What animal is more ferocious than the Tibetan Mastiff? Is the secret passage to the sacred land of Shambhala hidden beneath the Potala Palace? Does the fabled Pabala Temple, concealed within vast amounts of Tibetan historical documents, truly exist? Why do the sacrificial rituals of primitive jungle tribes bear such a striking resemblance to those practiced in certain regions of Tibet? Could the Mayan ruins hidden deep within the jungles of the Americas have a close cultural connection with distant Tibet? Why did Soviet experts organize a special team that ventured into Tibet five times shortly after the founding of New China? Why did Hitler issue orders in 1938 and 1943 for his top aide Himmler to personally assemble two expeditions into Tibet? What secrets is Tibet hiding from us?

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image

After ten years apart, two childhood friends reunite, but their once-vivid bond feels faded and distant. What remains is a faint connection neither can fully understand. As they navigate their new realities, one of them begins to recover long-buried memories that may hold the key to reigniting their relationship. Will they uncover what truly binds them, or are some connections destined to remain fragments of the past? "Memories are the silent footprint of the past, guiding us through the present." "A lost memory is the forgotten fragment of time, hidden but truly never gone." The golden hues of the setting sun danced on the waves, casting a warm glow over the beach. Alice and Noah stood at the water's edge, the cool sand grounding them as the world around them seemed to blur. Their eyes locked—a deep, unspoken connection passing between them, carrying an ocean of emotions too heavy to name. “Alice,” Noah whispered, his voice almost lost in the gentle crash of the waves. She didn’t waver, her gaze steady. “There’s so much we’ve left unsaid, Noah. So many secrets we’ve buried. Don’t you think it’s time we face them?” He let out a shaky breath, his fingers brushing his temple as if trying to make sense of it all. “I know,” he said, his voice strained. “But not now. I… I just need a moment. It’s too much to take in.” The silence that followed was both heavy and fragile, like the pause before a storm. Yet, in that fleeting instant, neither looked away, both silently acknowledging the unspoken truths that had yet to surface.

She is an ordinary woman in a modern city, balancing her career, relationships, and dreams—until the day the world she knows starts to crack. Shadows whisper her name, strangers seem to recognize her, and her loyal dog begins to act... oddly human. She is unaware that she is actually the reincarnation of an ancient Indian mythology goddess whose real identity has been shrouded in mystery for hundreds of years. As shards of her divine past begin to resurface, so also do some ancient enemies that have long since been forgotten but are very dangerous. Guided by her vahan—a celestial being in the guise of her canine companion—and a human ally shrouded in secrets, she journeys to find out who she truly is. In a world where skyscrapers rise over hidden temples and technology intertwines with ancient rituals, her awakening could just save or doom humanity. Will she come into and accept the powers of her divine heritage, or will her human heart hold her in a world that cannot understand her destiny?

Men join the military for all sorts of reasons: duty, glory, honor, defending the fatherland, and all that noble nonsense. Danny, however, joined for just two things—money and women. And if he could get both at the same time, even better. Sergeant Rock, a man whose charm was only rivaled by his inability to keep a promise, sold Danny a dream. “Fight for the empire, boy, and I’ll get you knighted,” Rock said, rubbing his hands together like some kind of cartoon villain. “The emperor will give you land, the crowds will cheer, and the women? Oh, they’ll want you. All of them.” Danny, who had the intellectual depth of a puddle, believed it. Why wouldn’t he? It was a great deal. No one ever said war wasn’t a dirty business, but at least it came with perks, right? Well, turns out, Sergeant Rock was about as reliable as a wet paper towel. No knight’s title, no land, no women throwing themselves at Danny. What Danny did get was a front-row seat to endless slaughter, where the only thing harder than the fighting was pretending there was honor in it. The blood ran thick, the bodies piled high, and Danny was left wondering if all those promises were just someone’s sick joke. Probably Sergeant Rock’s. He had that kind of face. But Danny wasn’t the sort of man to break a promise, especially not the one Rock made about "being a man of your word." So he slogged through the mess, stabbing pigs, fighting witches, and generally doing what he was told, hoping against hope that maybe the lies would somehow come true. Spoiler: they didn’t. The war was lost, the emperor got a sword through his royal gut courtesy of some flying freak, and Danny? Well, he was now famous for being very bad at war crimes. After the war, Danny was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 296 years in prison. He served them all, because apparently, the universe has a sense of humor. Now, after an excruciatingly long vacation, Danny’s free. All he wants is to be a better man, which is a bit like saying you want to learn to juggle chainsaws while standing on a tightrope. It sounds good, but there’s a reason no one tries it. The reason? There’s a demon inside him, and it’s got a very bad attitude. All it wants is death, destruction, and general mayhem. But hey, Danny’s trying. And that counts for something, right?
