Desiring control over his own life, Ged, a defiant body sorcerer, embarks on a journey beyond godhood to achieve the pinnacle of mass. In a universe where body sorcerers absorb entire galaxies into their physiques, a sorcerer’s worth is measured by their mass. The largest sorcerers hoard most of the universe's mass leaving the lower realms to scavenge for scraps. Born on a forgotten, impoverished planet, Ged’s unyielding ambition drives him to escape his desolate world. Thirsting for agency in his chaotic life, he relentlessly builds up his mass to overcome the odds. Relying on the madness-inducing drug Blue Water to accelerate his growth, he willingly sacrifices everything to achieve freedom from all oppressors. But as his physique expands beyond planetary proportions, the mounting cost of his actions forces Ged to confront a painful truth: the control he seeks may demand a price far greater than he could ever imagine. Stripped of his own body by an unfathomable entity, Ged faces the grim reality that breaking free from one cage only leads to another. With nothing left, he must find a way to shatter the very fabric of existence and reclaim his stolen self. Surging his body's mass to the ultimate pinnacle, Ged must forge an impossible path to achieve true freedom. What To Expect:  **  An original magic system centered around a sorcerer's physical mass  **  Ambitious and morally gray protagonist set in a grimdark universe  **  Tangible progress where power-ups are measured in kilograms 

(BOYS' LOVE) When Tai Yang, a young, handsome yet introverted scientist gets hauled into one of the alternate Universes (by a dog-eared man claiming that staying on Earth would kill him), four things become especially clear. One: his black belt in karate is useless against the strange, magical, anime-looking spells of the alternate world. Two: he needs to stop getting lured into human birdcages even if there is 4-ply toilet paper in them. Three, Prince Li Jun is an asshole on Earth and in the alternate universe too! Desperately trying to return to his world, Tai Yang manages to escape several times. The problem? He keeps bringing the annoying Prince back to Earth with him where another Li Jun already exists! And after a while, it seems Prince Li Jun has gotten too fond of having him as a personal bird-cage advisor to let him escape to Earth easily, making Tai Yang's life even harder. But his behavior starts to change; why? Is Li Jun really only keeping him around for relationship advice? Or does the late-night sight-seeing, and attempts to make him immortal mean something? What do the close proximities, hand-holding, and stares mean? The fourth thing that becomes clear to Tai Yang is that he has to disappear before he actually falls for that narcissistic Prince who seems to have no intention of catching him. ...Or does he? Join Tai Yang to find out!

"If I get out of here... will you look at me, smile at me again?" He whispered, his voice almost inaudible, and then his eyes filled with tears. But his only answer was in those quiet murmurs about the wilting flowers inside the cage, about the eternal need for love, and the chain he had locked himself in. His flowers had withered. But can they come back to life?

Meihua, Princess of Nindo and only heir to 57th Emperor of Xi, learns the marriage she was looking forward to is meant to be a cage to keep her bound and locked away in the Inner Palace.

But a Princess with no experience beyond the walls of her palace has no place in the starving, bandit ridden corners of the empire. Determined to survive on her own, Meihua sets out to the learn the truth about her long-bound magic and the reason the empire is so determined to seal her away. After nearly starving to death, Meihua is taken in by poor, but kind rice farmers and learns the state of the empire is not at all what she has been taught. Realizing she needs to learn to master her magic and abnormally powerful Qi, she joins rogue demonic cultivator Xuan Xiu on his travels. They’re soon joined by a powerful woman from West of the Spine of the World, an ordinary man who keeps getting stuck in extraordinary circumstances, and a fae with a serpent’s tongue as they make their way across the Land of Song and Snow in an effort to discover the great secrets of the empire and themselves. A Caged Phoenix is the first of a fantasy adventure romance trilogy chronicling Meihua’s fall from nobility to her years as a wandering cultivator and her eventual rise to Empress and the love and loss she suffers along the way.

Here’s a summary of Chronicles of the Multiversal Sage, highlighting Nicolas Null’s journey, his newfound knowledge, and the suspense that builds as he discovers more about the world and his true purpose. --- Summary of Chronicles of the Multiversal Sage Nicolas Null was once a brilliant and charismatic man, celebrated for his intellect and power in his previous life. But everything changed in an instant—betrayed by those he trusted most, he met a tragic end. However, instead of finding peace in death, Nicolas is resurrected in a place between worlds, guided by a mysterious and unidentifiable force. His body, once weak and frail, is restored to perfection, and he finds himself standing at the crossroads of the multiverse, drawn to endless worlds beyond his own.

In the struggles of everyday life, Cage was a typical homebody. He loved reading, admiring beautiful pictures, and writing novels in his spare time. His greatest wish was to find a gentle, caring, and hardworking girl. However, fate seemed to have little mercy for him—not only did it fail to grant his modest wish, but it also struck him with a bolt of lightning that transported him to an unknown planet, where he became the prince of a modest kingdom.

And so, the extraordinary tale of Cage, the legendary king, began.

But what happens when an angel walks into this cave after breaking the barrier?
