Nameless Grandmaster

A nameless ronin soon begins his travels among the lands and forges a new path with his Mark of Destiny, while searching for the fruit of the divine.

An ordinary life—that’s all he ever knew. No grand ambitions, no dreams of glory. Until one day, fate had a strange twist in store. Waking up as a Constellation in a realm filled with gods and Outer Gods, he finds himself granted powers beyond mortal comprehension. But power comes with a catch. Stripped of a name and purpose, he learns that Constellations only gain names through followers. And with no one to worship him, he’s little more than an unnamed speck in a chaotic universe. “A Constellation… me?” he wonders. "Is this a blessing… or a curse?” He doesn’t want to waste this chance. Though he possesses two powerful authorities, their strict conditions keep him severely limited. For now, his first step is to earn a name from a follower—and find a way to deal with the Outer God lurking in his shadow. /// Discord - https://discord.gg/P25kMkU97R

A new work from the author of 'Astral Pet Store', welcome to enjoy it! ———— In chaotic times, one seeks survival; in prosperous times, one seeks fame. Despite being weathered by the vicissitudes of life, the Great Yu Dynasty still found itself in an era of prosperity. In the northwest, a youth trekked nine thousand miles on foot, slaying the Great Demon alone to compete for a lifetime of glory. In Long Lake, an unmatched Grandmaster hurried to the mortal realm to establish a sect, leaving his name to be revered for a hundred generations. In the imperial capital, a saintly figure spread his teachings far and wide, with followers throughout Qingzhou, his legacy lasting forever. Yet within Qingzhou City, in the compound of a family with a long military heritage, there was a child who never engaged in serious pursuits, instead spending his days playing chess, painting, fishing, and playing the zither. Years later— …… When the sword rose, dragon smoke stretched for three thousand miles, and a single strike wiped out the cities of nine provinces! Among all the laws of the world, only I, have entered the path. …… 【Light-Hearted Humor】【Martial Path Panel】【Art Master】【Scheming】

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 a miracle! Who knew that one day an obscure village doctor would become the greatest doctor in the world?

The Jiuzhou Continent contains an era of chaos and fiendish demons, haunted by mysterious beings and fraught with feuding martial families, demonic sacred grounds, and endless struggles between various powers. Conflict is a constant throughout the world. Within such darkness, Gu Chen opened his eyes to this reality. At the same time, he discovered that as long as he slew these fiendish demons and ghosts, his cultivation strength could continually elevate. Killing a Panic Level Demon yields a decade's worth of cultivation. Slaying a Ghost Level Fiendish Ghost brings thirty years of cultivation. ... Eventually, one day, staring at the endless swarm of fiendish demons and world-renowned grandmasters in his path, Gu Chen chuckled lightly, "Are you able to withstand this fist of mine, charged with 1600 years of cultivation?"

"I was just a normal guy who wrote a novel called I Got Reincarnated into a Magical World, and it became pretty popular. But one day, when I was writing the final chapter, someone broke into my house and killed me. When I woke up, I was confused at first, but then I realized I had been reincarnated into my own novel.

Looks like Truck-kun has claimed another victim. After being forcefully transferred into a novel he was reading, our main character, Noel, decides to ignore the main plot and focus on finding a way to escape that world. "I mean, think about it. The main character will handle everything anyway. I can just stay in the background without attracting any attention." Defeating an Ancient Order of Demon Worshippers? Hell nah, I don't wanna risk dying. Author Q&A 1. Is there any system? No, there is no system in place to help the main character whatsoever. 2. How overpowered is the MC? This series is not for those looking for an overpowered MC. Currently, the MC's strength is as average as a common soldier. 3. How will the story progress? The MC will remain a background character and will always try to avoid attention. However, he will help those in trouble if he can, without anyone knowing (except for his allies, who also operate in the shadows). 4. Will there be any harem? There will be romance, but no harem. The depth of the romance aspect is uncertain, as the focus will be on the MC's goal of finding a way to escape the novel world. 5. Is the MC an edgelord? No, he's just a kid who was thrown into this situation forcefully. Thank you for giving this series a chance!

Since Suki can't acquire help, he doesn't want to be affected by whatever drama that the ML's halo would attract. Who would want to get all the trouble without reaping the benefits? No one. Shen Yuan/Suki decided to stand on the sidelines while munching popcorn, ready to watch the drama. Let Bai Tingfeng unleash his beastly nature and become the notorious f*ck boy in the city. Suki/Shen Yuan doesn't care about that. All his concern was to be separated from this difficult man! Will the husband and husband fall for each other? No one knows.

'Nameless' was an ordinary man, toiling at a laborious job in the biting cold of his snowy village. Though life was bleak and unremarkable, he pushed on for his family. But everything changed on a fateful day when he stumbled upon an unholy sight—something so profoundly unbelievable that his mind exploded and his very soul was wrenched from his body, which then endlessly fell through the earth. As he plummeted, he caught glimpses of ancient murals, forgotten fossils, underground rivers, and civilizations long lost to time. When the descent ended, 'Nameless' found himself in an entirely different world, inhabiting the body of a young student named Abhi. At first, he believed Abhi was just a generic student, but he soon discovered that Abhi was anything but ordinary. Abhi himself was not from this world either. The soul of two transmigrators was trapped in a single body. Whose soul will take control, and whose shall perish? *** [Written by OverlyZero on Royal Road, Webnovel and Scribble Hub] Discord: https://discord.gg/vPxQZfVNXb
