Astral Spriggan

Coming back from the magic world, Riya rebuked her shameless stepmother. She was back to her first life with the world treasure and thought that her life would be smooth sailing. But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ??? Ah, Riya silently swore to secretly become stronger to deal with these magic beasts that went on rampage. She would use her runes to make a better life while watching the world recover from the destruction. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. Her best friend’s brother suddenly locked his attention on her. “Ah, ah, ah, you don't have to mind me….” “The runes you make are really interesting. Can you show me more?” The man smiled and stepped closer. “I…I can, but can you please not come too close?!” Riya just wanted to meditate silently, so how did she suddenly attract this big boss’s attention? ...

Yet in a universe that is but one bubble in an endless sea of realities, on a worthless blue planet beneath a crumbling city, a slum rat named Jin Stratus awakens to his destiny. When the “Door to the Myriad Worlds” descends, Jin steps through, armed with nothing but his unyielding will and his innate comprehension-defying talent—“Against-Heaven’s Understanding.” In the Great Universe of the Starry Sea, where ancient beings can erase galaxies with a sigh and traverse endless light-years in a single stride, Jin is nothing but dust.

And he alone will become the strongest of them all.

You also have a mission? Let me hear it… Seeing that his mission didn’t seem to conflict with her, Arya decided to help the other party and let him help and take care of her too. Having a capable pastry chef… cough… partner is good. The man smiled when he heard Arya accidentally blurted the truth why she allowed him to stay with her.

In the neon-drenched slums of Jiangbei City, life is cheap and hope is rarer than sunlight. Wei Lingxu’s world explodes literally when a covert strike annihilates his family and scatters him among the city’s gutters. Hunted by triad enforcers, corporate assassins, and shadowy sects, he ekes out an existence on scraps and whispered warnings: “The Core… it’s yours… don’t let them.” Left for dead in a storm-soaked alley, Wei’s last heartbeat cracks open a cosmic doorway. The Void Core, an otherworldly artifact forged at reality’s edge, fuses with his soul and awakens the Omni Providence Matrix, a sentient cultivation system that charts infinite pathways of power…and unfathomable peril. Now, Wei’s very existence echoes across countless realms, alerting the Devourers: primeval predators who feast on fate itself. As the city’s underworld and clandestine sects vie for control of the Core, Wei must ascend the Path of Void, enduring life-shattering trials that grant him reality-bending abilities at the expense of his humanity: [Fractured Ember: Ignite void-laced strikes and glimpse alternate lifelines Echoing Rift: Phase through steel and weaponize sound itself Annihilation Flux: Unleash void blasts that drain foes’ willpower Astral Crucible: Forge soul-weapons and rewrite minor truths Nexus Convergence: Merge allies’ powers and pierce cosmic veils Transcendent Lattice: Reconstruct shattered realms and summon stellar storms Sovereign Apex (…and beyond): Reshape existence if his soul survives the cost] Between brutal street skirmishes, sect betrayals, and cataclysmic battles on floating citadels, Wei must uncover the hidden secrets of his bloodline and the true purpose behind his father’s final message. With each tier he conquers, the Devourers grow bolder, and the line between savior and destroyer blurs. In a universe where gods are forged in suffering, can a broken orphan ascend to become the Sovereign of the Infinite Void… or will he be the first to fall in a war that transcends every reality?

Its undercurrents spread far and wide, with the threat an apocalyptic one. Yet, that is but the 2nd of Three Major Calamities as per prophesied by the famed prophet, Baba Yaga. The Third Calamity, and the most dangerous of the Calamities, is one that will bring about the true END of the world, but only if the Second Calamity can be overcome by humanity… What does this Third Calamity detail, one might ask…? To know the answer to that, one would have to brave past the first Two Calamities and stare into the abyss, praying to all Gods known to man that the Abyss does not stare back also into you… ----------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/2fDHq9F8eB Every Magic Castle Gift = 7 Chapters Every 100 PS = 1 Chapter Every 50 GT = 1 Chapter VOLUME 1 ENDS—CULTIVATION ERA DESCENDS!

Facing extinction, humanity seeks salvation in the Astral Verge, a dangerous dimension accessed via portals that threatened to wipe out the entire planet. Few years later, aspiring recruit Daniel Vance enters the Verge for his final assessment, hoping to Awaken a Talent and secure his future. While others gain common abilities, Daniel secretly Awakens the mythical SSS-Grade Talent: [Soul Assimilation]. This allows him to absorb essence, enhancing gear, gaining stats and EXP from slain creatures, and crucially, absorbing attributes and skills from fallen Awakened. Witnessing the swift death of the arrogant Jaxon Rex, Daniel makes a grim choice: he assimilates Jaxon, gaining his first skill, [Kinetic Pulse]. This sets his path: scavenging the aftermath of others’ battles. He enhances gear and, after achieving his first kill on an injured beast, waits patiently to assimilate two more fallen recruits, acquiring [Quick Step] and the invaluable passive [Aura Sense]. Starting as average, Daniel rapidly gains power in secret, enhanced gear, multiple skills, and boosted stats , far exceeding his peers while remaining outwardly unremarkable. He navigates the lethal Verge alone, using its inherent dangers to fuel his growth, wrestling with the moral cost of his unique, overwhelming power.

I thought I was just another student—an ordinary youth trying to live quietly. But the truth? Espers exist. And so do astral entities. And thanks to an accident no one dares to talk about, the world is now hanging by a thread. They told us everything was fine. They lied. Now, I’m caught in the middle of it all… and I can’t even tell what’s real anymore. They say we should live normally. But what does it mean to be “normal” … In a world where your own mind isn’t yours? The world we think is normal… is actually hollow.

One day, the world ended. Overflowing energy filled the void and every being was reborn again. This was the Astral Flux tribulation and the world was never the same again. The Astral Flux, a nourishing energy that filled everything with life didn't just resuscitate the humans but also evolved everything that was living, filling them with power and transcending them to something not comprehensible by humans. The silver lining, humans also evolved and were able to take back a lot of what they previously had. With the annals of time though, the human civilization soon began to wither, crumpled by the greed and uncertainty of the humans coupled with the fact that anyone could become strong just one day waking up, the society crumble under the rule of the dog eat dog world. And now, 700 after that, in a small corner of the world, another catastrophe has awakened, not as a disaster but as human with a fate to destroy all life. Ren Aris, a delusional low time scavenger in the Haven Dwell barely surviving the world as he was thrown into a series of events that makes him realise that power was an absolute necessary in the world to survive... or destroy. Follow him in his journey as he tries to fulfill his desire to save the world and make it a better place. "That was cringe." ..... Upload rate - Three chapters a week.

In the year 600, after the Great Reset shattered Earth into ruins and city-states, humanity clings to survival under the Explorers Guild, a powerful organization tasked with reclaiming lost relics and battling monstrous creatures. Caelen, a 15-year-old orphan labeled “Gemless” for his weak mana, dreams only of surviving the Guild’s brutal entrance exam. But when a ruin’s collapse awakens the Nephalem system—a forbidden power fused with the AI spirit of his ancestor Zorak—Caelen becomes something more: half-angel, half-demon, marked by Vanta black and Lotus pink energies that could make him the Guild’s greatest asset or its deadliest target.Guided by Zorak’s cryptic warnings, Caelen hides his dual nature at the Guild Academy, where magical prodigies like the fire-wielding Kael mock his “weakness,” and the celestial devotee Lysa senses his secret. In the virtual Battle Royale RuinRush, Caelen dons the guise of Astral Kin—a white-haired warrior with mismatched red and pink eyes—unleashing his powers without fear of exposure. But as he trains his Ascended skills, the darker Fallen energy stirs, whispering rage that threatens to consume him.With corrupt teachers like Master Torv and elite Guild Rankers hunting for the ruin’s “forbidden energy,” Caelen must navigate bullies, forge alliances, and master his Nephalem abilities to survive. As the first-year mission looms, secrets unravel about the Great Reset, Elysium’s fall, and Zorak’s ancient sacrifice. But the real danger lies within: as tragedy and betrayal fuel Caelen’s anger, the Fallen side of his bloodline grows stronger, threatening to unravel everything he’s fought to protect. In a world where power is both salvation and damnation, can Caelen balance his dual nature—or will he become the monster the Guild fears? -------------------------------------------------- It's inspired by a few different Series. thank you and I hope it's enjoyable for you despite its flaws. I'm using this as a hobby so no promises of consistent uploads or a set release schedule. and I do apologize but I'm open to criticism just don't be a complete jerk about it. currently AI is being used to format text, flesh out content such as dialog or connecting plot points together. I'm feeding it my ideas for arcs,character bios and descriptions, power ideas, world building ideas, and short stories I make or summaries of arcs/characters etc... and then taking what it gives me as a Draft. if I can't find problems with it and it's true to what I wanted I upload it here, this is a rather long process as I'm not paying for any particular AI and I'm learning how to write full stories or arcs outside of just plot ideas. so I'm learning with it. hopefully it doesn't take long but if there is continuity problems or grammatical errors, or inconsistencies please let me know I will do what I can to fix it. just can't promise a time frame on it. I thank you for your time and patience and I hope this no matter how rocky it starts, it turns into something pretty neat. even if I have to release another book and scrap this version due to so many rewrites or fixing. depending how deep it goes. Thank you everyone and I'm looking forward to where this will be in time.

~Updates Daily~ Single love interest Yuri! --- After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Reborn into a new life, with her memories intact - she carefully starts over from an infant. - Navigating her new family: [Really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] - How to portray herself: [Everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls! That should be most fun~] - Showing off the power she gathers: [This region is a 'backwater', but who knows what is out there - let's just take it slow~] - Marriage arranged before birth: [Mm... my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cancel- oh?] - Dealing with 'amusing' deceit: [Cute. 'He' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!] - Confronting the 'son' in private: [Whatever your family's iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~] Even in this new life, [Elua er Goltbred] can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is at the deepest level. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God. Balancing the two traits in this life - without driving away the young 'boy' she decided to support and be supported by when they both came of age - centers as much around helping [Qatrand er Yecine] find herself within who her family has made of her... As it is hoping to ease the dear fiance into how messed up the (ancient) girl honestly is. With her Astralism unchanged despite reincarnation... she can improvise plenty with her ridiculous control of Illusions and more. Which is a good thing - because plans fail and unexpected things happen when you're not *really* a genius just because you know more than others. Unexpected things... like her Physique in this life allowing the lightest 'grip' to crack stone... Despite being a little stunted by her family environment early on, [Qat] finds her future wife to be 'cute' on their first meeting... but she really shouldn't have let on and said it out loud. It made her [El] kind of vain - and kind of want to remain as cute as can be for her future spouse! - - - Oh, and *muscles*. [Elua]: I just like looking at them, okay!? Is it so weird? People can have hobbies... - - - Power System: > Types of Cultivation // Spiritual (Soul), Physical (Body), Essence (Qi) > Aspect Trinity // Astralism, Physique, Element 'Ranks' Initial - Early, Mid, Late Lower Realms // Enchanter, Primalist, Breacher Upper Realms // Defier, Demi-god, Divinity - Echelons (First -> Seventh[Peak]) - - - Other Tags: #GL #Slice of Life #Comedy #TheStrongActingWeak #ChildhoodSweethearts (It counts!) Cover Art: AI Text Prompt Generation + title (etc.) added with an image editor. I also tend to do other 'fixes' in post! Potential trigger warnings: > A reincarnator MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but successfully tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age, because she knows it's better for her intended partner that way. > A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. She likes wearing the aesthetics of men's suits! > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally *picked on* by his 'sweet daughter', all for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.

In the world of Pangaea, there exist countless roads to power, whether it is the most basic martial arts or the precarious bridge of the darkest arts; all hold the same potential for endless power.

a calamity once shook the earth and made it seem like extinction of all was certain however amidst the ashes of destruction the earth sudden awakened a latent power which seeped out from its core, transforming the earth and it's inhabitants and granting humans miraculous powers called ABILITIES which were powered by the energy which humans had evolved to harness. plants and animals on the other hand continuously evolved into terrifying beasts with slight semblance to their weaker predecessors. Now, over 3000 years later a mysterious young boy surrounded by strange circumstances,a past shrouded in mystery , and an unusual aura surrounding him finds himself with a mysterious system and in the prestigious sentinel military academy now with a new unknown ally in the form of the system Zen is on a mission for so much more than he knows. will he succeed? especially with literal and figurative ghosts from his past coming back to haunt them and pieces of their mysterious past coming to haunt him? ( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

And this beginning would be the best one ever. … One thing is certain, beauties from all the realms, be it the Celestial or the Godly! All would fall in love with him!

ABOUT THE STORY: "Action Bound Hearts Of Flame And Frost" takes place in a modern Earth-like world called Earthen where elemental spirits, angels, and demons exist in secret. Most people don't know these beings walk among them - but Phenics and Yuki are on the front lines of a war between our world and the Abyss. _____ THE MAIN CAST: Phenics Amaterasu (Lead Male - Tsundere Type) He's fiery, stubborn, secretly kind under all the snark, and of course, super bad at expressing his feelings (especially toward a certain icy girl). His powers stem from his Phoenix Spirit, giving him control over blazing flames, crimson wings, and combat-enhancing astral armor. He's also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Phoenix Elemental Spirit - so yeah, he's complicated. _____ Yuki Yuuki (Lead Female - Kuudere Type) Cool, composed, and deeply emotional beneath the surface. Yuki is Phenics' childhood friend and partner in battle. She doesn't say much, but when she does, it cuts straight to the soul. Her powers are from her Ice Spirit heritage - she's a Yuki Onna (Snow Woman) with ice manipulation, spirit-enhanced martial skills, and killer frost-glare energy. Also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Ice Elemental Spirit. _____ Kazuya Hayashi (Male - Loyal Best Friend Type) Phenics' other best friend and the "big brother" energy of the group. He doesn't have spirit blood, but he makes up for it with strong spiritual awareness, energy-enhanced equipment, and a grounded sense of calm. He's brave, chill, and maybe too good at keeping secrets. _____ Miko Aihara (Female - Energetic + Spirited Type) The heart of the team. Miko is Kazuya's closest companion and often drags everyone into being a bit more... human. Like Kazuya, she's fully human but spiritually gifted. Her style leans more toward agility and charm in battle, using sacred gear and talismans.

I yawned, fighting off sleep as my professor droned on about the three-body problem—even though it was notoriously unsolvable. 'Geez, why do we need to learn this?' I thought, shaking my head. Suddenly, a holographic screen materialized before my eyes, its message slicing through the monotony: "Moonfall Has Begun. Your Class Has Been Assigned.” I glanced around, and saw confused faces all over—everyone staring, just as bewildered as I was. 'Does everyone see this?' I wondered, my heart starting to pound. My screen flickered, then declared in bold: Main Class: Astral Equationist. Before I could process any further, a piercing scream shattered the classroom’s uneasy silence. I barely had time to register the sound as chaos erupted around me. https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

Kairen Valehart, once the proud commander of the Astral Knights, was exiled after a devastating betrayal that left his kingdom in ruins. Marked by the Abyss, his body carries the corruption of a force that whispers to him, tempting him toward destruction. Feared as a traitor and hunted as a monster, Kairen roams the world as a man caught between light and darkness, desperately fighting to keep his soul from slipping into the void. Elyndra Vaelith, the last heir of the Valtherian royal bloodline, has spent her life searching for the truth behind an ancient prophecy—one that speaks of a warrior who will either save or doom the world. Her celestial magic grants her visions of a man with crimson eyes standing at the precipice of destiny. When she finally meets Kairen in the cursed Forest of Whispers, she realizes that he is the key to everything. But forces beyond their control are already in motion. The Abyssal Lord Asmodai, ruler of the shadows, seeks to reclaim what was stolen from him—Kairen himself. And as the abyssal corruption within Kairen grows stronger, Elyndra is faced with an impossible choice: save him from his fate… or kill him before he loses himself completely. As ancient secrets unravel, as betrayals cut deeper than swords, and as love and duty collide in the most painful ways, Kairen and Elyndra must forge a path through a world teetering on the edge of ruin. But the question remains—is Kairen truly destined to be the world's savior, or is he the harbinger of its destruction? In a story filled with mythical battles, forbidden magic, heart-wrenching romance, and the eternal struggle between fate and free will, Shadows of the Astral Realm is a tale of warriors and kings, demons and gods, and the question that defines them all: When the abyss stares back… will you resist it, or will you fall?

In a world where Science meets the Arcane, a time where the surreal bridges upon the factual, an Era in which the physical and metaphysical unify against one common threat. This threat can be seen anywhere, from outside the cottage of a man who struggles with his own isolation, shouting "I cannot be taken yet, for hope has not deserted me!!!" or in the tranquil embrace of nature, where a young man lives among the roots and vines thinking "The Mother of Roots will surely save me", only to find themselves vanished anyhow. Whether meek or the pinnacle of excellence all seems to fade when the "Outers" walk the soils. Explore the world of Alter-Grey in all its facets and uncover mysteries beyond comprehension, knowledge so pure that you might as well be fiction in its suffocating truths, sometimes curiosity is not sated only to kill the cat, but instead uses it to unravel everything. So I ask you this, are you curious enough to brave the Outer? Are you strange to the ways of man or are you mundane? either way I suppose it doesn't really matter. Join a select few Astrals on this journey and see how far the strings of fate take you.

Once every 10,000 years, the heavens open, and the Mortal Realm is cast into turmoil. The Great Reset begins—a cosmic reckoning where empires fall, beasts awaken, and only the strongest carve their names into eternity. For those who survive, the path to the Astral Realm and the right to claim divinity awaits. Raikai, a warrior forged in storms, wields the power of the Celestial Iron Body Cultivation, his flesh tempered into living steel. His Death Arms—twin scythes bound by chains—dance like a mythological dragon, crackling with lightning, capturing and tearing apart those who stand in his way. Beside him stands Shinryu, swift and precise, blessed by the Celestial Tiger. His Death Arms, a pair of white leather gloves with retractable claws, strike with divine speed—every slash a whisper of the heavens’ fury. Together, they ascend the path of blood and power, bound by brotherhood yet tested by fate. Their bond is their greatest strength, but in a world where the Death Arms grow with their wielders—feeding on their victories and failures—power often demands a terrible price. As the 10,000-year Reset begins, ancient titans stir, forgotten sects rise from the shadows, and primordial beasts long thought extinct awaken. The heavens will bear witness as Raikai and Shinryu defy the gods—or die trying. In an age where flesh is reforged into iron and weapons evolve alongside the soul—two brothers will challenge destiny itself!

In the year 2275, Arthur Marlowe—a war-scarred military strategist turned anonymous top-tier gamer known only as “Zenith”—finds unexpected purpose in a quiet café, a rising stream career, and the woman who helped him find peace again. But just as life gives him something real to live for, a catastrophic overload during a record-breaking stream ends everything in fire… and begins something far greater. Reborn across the stars in a distant galaxy known as Aetherion, Arthur awakens as a child in a universe once ruled by a vanished god-tier civilization. With the name Arthur Ragnar along with his memories intact, he now lives within the very world that made him a legend in his past life: the universe of Astral Genesis—a vast, open expanse teeming with elemental powers, soul-forged martial arts, ancient technologies, and monstrous threats from collapsing dimensions. As Arthur grows, he uncovers truths buried in the ruins of the lost Astral Civilization, unlocks forbidden cultivation techniques, and builds a new identity in a galaxy defined by its struggle between tradition and evolution. With soul-bound battleships, mysterious relics, and the looming threat of void invasions, Arthur must decide: will he live quietly in this new life—or rise to command the future of an entire civilization? A tale of second chances, galactic exploration, epic warfare, and the quiet strength of those who refuse to stay forgotten.
