Pig Calling Contest Goes Metal

The Storm Calling Buddha/ Alternate Title: The Cult of Immortality A world set on the basis of 'might makes right'. A world where clear lines were drawn between mortals and immortals, the lower and the higher. A world where cultivation was real, where going against the heavens was considered the only meaningful way to live. That was the world that Luke Griffiths, or rather Mo Yangling found himself in now. How would he, a devout Buddhist and avid reader of Wuxia novels fare in such a world? And was it really going to be the exact same as the many stories he had read in the past? That only time could tell... ___________________________________________ Also, another good tag for this that I couldn't find would be 'Strong to Stronger MC' Just felt the need to add this here.

Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

Title: "The Creator Goes on a Journey to Explore the Narrative That He Has Created" **Synopsis**: In a realm beyond all known concepts, where even the idea of existence and non-existence holds no sway, the Creator tirelessly brings forth infinite, infinitely uncountable narratives. Detached from the stories He has crafted, the Creator sends forth an Avatar, Takayama Shinzui, to explore and observe the first narrative He has chosen. This narrative, a complex structure of layers—Sub-Narrative, Border, and Entirety—houses countless worlds, each with its unique story, conflicts, and resolutions. Takayama Shinzui, an embodiment of the Creator's essence, descends into the narrative as a quiet observer. His presence, regal and mysterious, transcends all entities within the narrative, including the powerful Outer Gods and the foundational forces of the Lowest Plane of Existence. In the midst of a modern-day Japan contained within the Plane of Zero, Shinzui navigates a world filled with ordinary human life, masking his extraordinary nature. He enrolls in a prestigious high school, all the while maintaining his role as a non-interventionist observer. As Shinzui immerses himself in the intricacies of human experience, the boundaries between observer and participant blur, and the true nature of the Creator's narratives begins to unfold. Shinzui's journey explores the tension between predetermination and free will, the power of non-intervention, and the profound mysteries that lie at the heart of creation itself. ---

In the bustling city of Xianxia, where mystical creatures roam and cultivators strive for power, Yin Fang stands out like a sore thumb. Unlike the tragic orphans with hidden legacies, Yin Fang's backstory is refreshingly mundane—he was simply abandoned at the steps of the Heavenly Lotus Orphanage. But Yin Fang has a peculiar habit: whenever he's surprised, he exclaims, "Holy Chicken Fingers!" It's an odd choice of words, but it's become his signature catchphrase. Perhaps it's his way of coping with the mundanity of his life. Everything changes when Yin Fang unwittingly triggers a celestial phenomenon—an otherworldly tribulation. Lightning strikes him not once, not twice, but thirty-six times. Each bolt of energy sears through him, leaving behind a strange mark on his skin. When the storm subsides, Yin Fang discovers that he has awakened the elusive Beast Evolution System. Now, Yin Fang must navigate a treacherous path. With no tragic past to motivate him, he faces a different kind of challenge: taming unruly beasts and forging bonds with them. His journey is filled with laughter, absurdity, and unexpected friendships. As he trains his newfound abilities, he wonders if he can turn his lack of backstory into an advantage. But lurking in the shadows are ancient secrets, rival cultivators, and a whole lot of beasts observing him in secret. Can he rise above his humble origins and become a true beast tamer? Or will he forever be the eccentric orphan who shouts about chicken fingers? Join Yin Fang on a whimsical adventure where lightning strikes, beasts evolve, and "Holy Chicken Fingers" might just save the day!

"Mara, come back! Somebody please stop her!" He shouted as he watched her run on the tarmacked surface of the road with her bare feet. The road was always busy but today there weren't as many cars. Jiren looked to the left side of the road, but he didn't see any car coming. He quickly ran up to cross to the other side but before he reached, he heard tyres screeching. At least that's all he could remember. Officer Palmer sat beside him, taking notes of his words, but he didn't say much. He also saw a girl, maybe a woman, sitting on a chair beside his bed. She was caressing his hair but he had no idea who she was. He was in a lot of pain, he passed out again.

WARNING >DARK ROMANCE WITH HORROR

this is the first translation of "UV1244 {Nekea} : l'être de métal". In a world of magic and science fiction, a crash on Nekea will provoke a lot of changes. Economic changes, cultural changes, war, and cataclysm. How will the simple fantastic being of Nekea adapt to the Galatic empire technologies ? Maybe Ego, a simple robot, can tell us more about it.

A drunk Russian communist warrior. An angry Rogue cursing in Cantonese. An Italian who would sooner shoot people dead with words then with his arrows. An African American pointed his wand around like a gun, then pulled its imaginary trigger. And there's me, the typical Asian guy you will last pick for dodge ball team. This was my first ever VRMMO RPG team. This is the world of [Unlimited Dreams]. Huge thanks to @Creaking_Shadow for making this ridiculously good cover (≧◡≦)

The vast scale of our universe has lead us to believe that we must be alone. However, this isn't the case. Fane, a member of a highly advanced spacefaring civilization, is suddenly summoned to a medieval world, reminiscent of Old Earth's Dark Ages. On the surface, kingdoms wage endless wars, while beneath, a mysterious dungeon sprawls, its labyrinthine corridors constantly shifting like the gears of a clock. Yet, this world is not the only one drawn into the chaos. Two others have also been pulled into the fray, bringing with them powerful crystalline mages and ancient gods long thought forgotten. Now, Fane must fight to survive alongside native warriors and foreign entities alike, all while unraveling the cryptic mysteries of this strange and dangerous realm. Survival is only the beginning - deciphering the truth could change everything. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello! Thanks for checking out my work! I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.

As an orphan with no connections to rely on, Heizen had to become a pioneer to gain hope for survival in this broken world. However, all this came to naught when a space crack ripped his body in half, along with his friend and his world — or so he believed before his death. Though he died, he was given a second chance when he transmigrated to a fantasy world where magic is the norm. Starting as a slave, Heizen was overjoyed when he received his golden finger: the Good Luck System. With luck on his side, he believed he had nothing to fear— at least he thought so. [Ding!] [Good Luck favors you.] [Select the red corridor to receive a life potion and a world seed.] Getting excited by the prompt and his incredible luck, he decisively chose the red corridor. Unfortunately, he collided head-on with the Giant Dragon Gadrakh, whose cold gaze pierced him with disdain. "Humph" With a single snort, he was cooked alive. "Damn, you call this good luck?" Despite his complaints about his bad luck and faulty system, he persisted in his desire to become a powerful person and return to his broken world. However, as more fallen realms crashed with this world, Gaia, Heizen discovered many strange traits about them, leading him to suspect that his previous world was also one of them. Maybe what he witnessed before he died wasn't the end? Follow Heizen, our protagonist, as he navigates this deadly fantasy realm using his defective system and uncovers the mysteries of the entire cosmos. Could he do it? Let's find out.
