Celestia Ludenberg Trial

Trial

Han Jiho's ordinary life spirals into chaos when he awakens in the "Land of Trials," a mysterious realm shrouded in darkness. Bound by a cursed black ring he cannot remove, Jiho encounters cryptic doors, deadly hellhounds, and other spirits struggling to survive in this world fueled by Dark Energy. As he grapples with the shocking revelation that this realm bridges life and death, Jiho learns of a fleeting chance to return to the living world through elusive doors that shift and vanish over time. However, the cost of failure is steep—spirits who linger too long risk losing their identities, succumbing to Dark Energy, and transforming into malevolent entities. While struggling to decipher his connection to this world, Jiho crosses paths with a ragtag group of survivors. Together, they confront haunting mysteries, dangerous trials, and the grim reality of their fading existence. With his memories, humanity, and very soul at stake, Jiho must find a way to outwit the trials of the afterlife before time runs out. Is it truly possible to return to the world he once called home, or ?

Benedictus Elijah Ashwood is a former soldier who has survived many deadly missions while serving his country. But he always wanted more for himself. He desired to become someone that could be remembered long after he was gone. His life both before and after completing his service with the military was nothing really to speak about. It was bland, boring, and he hated it. Then one day, Gods from another world had come informing him and a hundred others that the Gods of Earth had abandoned them due to how humans of the modern age were depraved, greedy, and had shunned anything to do with the divine. Without the protection of any Gods, Earth would soon start falling prey to more evil wicked beings from some of the outer realms, such as the demons of Hell or the eldritch abominations of the Elder Realm. However, these foreign Gods gave Benedictus and 99 other humans a chance to participate in a much larger event called the Trial of Dead Gods. They would essentially be transported to a world that is more like a video game with the goal of leveling up. As it would allow them to passively take in more of the leftover power from several dead Gods whose bodies had long since been slain and become a part of the world, he would be sent to. They would be essentially competing against 900 other people that have been given similar offers from other worlds without Gods throughout the universe. The first 10 to reach a high enough level to ascend to godhood would be the victors of the trial. Everyone else would either return a failure or die during the trial. Seeing this as his chance to obtain his lifelong dream, he more than happily accepted. He was transported to this new world where he would now begin his journey towards godhood, where he would become a legend.

She resigned herself to her fate and set a goal to become the empress. But to become the future empress, she had to gain the heart of her husband_the foul tempered Prince Roland Maximus a man that loathed her and would sooner kill her than kiss her.

The same woman Sigrid was on a mission to destroy, an irreconcilable enemy. With misunderstandings, scheming and jealousy, thus begun Sigrid's trials to win the heart of the man that had undeniably captivated her with his dazzling smile and her mission step over the fake female lead, be crowned empress and change her fate. Excerpt. "A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?" Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. "Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

Synopsis: The Shattered Seal As Sylas delves deeper into the Trial’s labyrinthine challenges, he discovers fragments of a forgotten war—a conflict waged by godlike beings whose actions reshaped the world. Each victory in the Trial grants him power, but it also reveals haunting visions of a great seal, created to imprison an unspeakable force. In one of the most suspenseful moments, Sylas stumbles upon a temple hidden within the jungle, its entrance guarded by cryptic statues carved from obsidian. Inside, he finds a room lined with glowing symbols, their light casting eerie shadows. At the center of the room lies a fractured seal, its edges radiating chaotic energy. The whispers in his mind grow louder, their once-guiding tone now filled with panic: “Do not touch it! The seal must hold!” But before Sylas can act, a shadowy figure emerges from the seal’s fragmented core. The being exudes an overwhelming aura of darkness, its form shifting and unstable. It speaks in a voice that reverberates through the temple: “You have come far, mortal… but your meddling has set me free.” The walls tremble as the figure begins to manifest fully, the energy from the broken seal threatening to consume everything around it. Sylas must decide whether to flee and warn others of the seal’s collapse or stand his ground against an ancient force beyond his understanding. As the chapter ends, Sylas raises his sword, the mark on his hand blazing with newfound intensity. He knows this battle is unlike any he has faced before—and losing could mean the end of the world.

[This Story Takes Place in a Now Discontinued Version of the Story "Avatar Lives: The Sole Ascendent"] Focus. Don’t think—just move, Subra told himself, adrenaline sharpening his senses. The twin moons above cast an eerie silver glow on the ever-changing maze of labyrinthine walls. This was no dream—it was a test, a trial unlike any other. One night, while asleep on Earth, Subra Fitz’s consciousness was ripped away and thrust into an alien world. He wasn’t alone. Billions of others had been summoned, each plucked from their lives and thrown into a series of trials to determine one thing: who would ascend as the god of Cronis—a world now teetering on the edge of destruction after its deity’s demise. These trials weren’t a place of beauty and hope. They were a battlefield of survival, where twisting mazes housed deadly creatures, and alliances were as fleeting as the stars in its endless skies. Subra, an unassuming young man, must now rise above the chaos, pitting his intellect and courage against impossible odds. In this realm, magic courses through every fiber of existence. From shimmering trees whose roots pulse with otherworldly light to creatures whose very presence defies Earthly logic, Cronis is as awe-inspiring as it is dangerous. Subra’s weapon of choice—a Wind Blade—is as unwieldy as his resolve is fierce. It’s the only thing standing between him and the snarling wolf-like hybrids that roam the maze, their teeth sharp enough to pierce even enchanted armor. But the Trials aren’t just about combat—they’re about strategy, sacrifice, and morality. Can Subra outthink the cunning figures who lead this competition? Can he trust anyone when alliances are tenuous, and betrayal is a matter of survival? In this action-packed, magic-infused adventure, Subra fights to become more than a survivor. He fights to claim the divine throne of a godless world. The Trials will test his mind, body, and soul—forcing him to decide how far he’s willing to go to wield ultimate power. For fans of The Hunger Games, Sword Art Online, and Mistborn, The Trials of Cronis is a gripping tale of determination, betrayal, and destiny. Follow Subra Fitz as he battles creatures, uncovers secrets, and walks the razor-thin line between humanity and godhood. Welcome to Cronis. Your trial begins now.

Have you ever wondered, beneath the dazzling neon lights of the city, lurk monsters from ancient myths? Have you ever thought, high above in the sky, on the moon, stand gods watching over the world of humans? Have you ever imagined, amidst the bustling crowds of the modern city, there are extraordinary beings who walk the earth in place of the gods? In a society ruled by humans, countless strange phenomena lie in wait; in those forsaken zones of life, ancient gods dwell. But where have the gods of Great Xia gone? In this world belonging to humans, the “mysterious” must be eradicated!

In various mythologies all across the world, it is mentioned that there are thousands of worlds similar to our planet Earth in this universe. The lives of people residing in these worlds may be similar to those who live on Earth, or they may be completely different. They may be powerful enough to wield the natural elements as their weapons, as told in folk tales, or they may be highly advanced in technology, to the point where we humans on Earth can't even fathom it. Anyway, this is the story of a man who transmigrated into such a world called Celestia. Celestia is a world of magicians and warriors who can call rain and storms with their magical spells and flatten mountains with a single punch. Our protagonist, Alvin, transmigrated into the body of a small thief who was being pursued by an entire village for stealing a divine deity statue from their sacred temple. Just as Alvin was trying to understand the situation around him, his head suddenly felt dizzy, and the next second he was standing in a black space. At the center of the void, in front of him, was a majestic golden book floating, like a golden star. The only thing Alvin saw was the name, "Arcane Codex," engraved on the cover of the book before he was once again back to reality. ........................................ How did a mortal from Earth transmigrate to the magical world of Celestia? Is the golden book responsible for this? What is the mystery behind the deity statue that Alvin's predecessor stole from the temple? Will he be able to survive in this world of wonders? All these questions will lead you to the life of Elen Draven and his journey to the top of Celestia. I hope all who have read this note until now will stay with my novel until the last chapter. As an author, I assure you this is not some harem or dark novel. Yes, there will be a heroine and romance, but it won't be a story where the MC is just a simp who only knows how to think with his lower body. Once again, I welcome you all to the magical world of Celestia.

Siblings Seraph and Celestia have been thrown out into the world, no longer able to return to their home. Seraph seeks revenge for the loss of their clan; Celestia wants nothing more than to move on and live in peace.

For countless millennia, Earth has endured the rise and fall of nine great civilizations. Each civilization, upon reaching a certain pinnacle of progress, has faced a devastating catastrophe—none have survived. Now, with the ninth civilization on the brink of collapse, the apocalypse has arrived, and nearly 30 billion people have had their memories erased before being thrown into a game of survival. Logan Lane felt very confused when he suddenly found himself on a small island, only seven meters wide and seven meters long. Just a moment ago, he remembered lying in a hospital bed. He looked around. The island had only one evergreen tree and a tall, weathered stone pillar. The sky above was bright, but the ocean around him looked dark and endless. “What is happening? I was in a hospital just now… how am I here?” he said to himself, voice trembling. Then an electronic, emotionless voice spoke in his mind: “Welcome to the Survival Games. You are a survivor from the ninth batch of civilizations. There are five ‘realms of hardship’ in this world: the Arcane Ice Sea, the Eclipse Forest, the Ironhearts Domain, the Dread Sands, and the Celestial Skyline. Each realm has different rules, but the goal is always the same: survive.”

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.
