Len Tao

Cameraman Never Dies

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

Quantum Cultivator: A Scientist's Path to Taoist Enlightenment

Dr. James Chen, a quantum physicist obsessed with black holes, never expected his research to land him in ancient China. A catastrophic experiment throws him through time and into the body of Wei Qing, a sickly disciple in a world governed by cultivation – the manipulation of life-force energy known as Qi. While others rely on ancient techniques and mystical chants, James approaches cultivation with the scientific method. He soon discovers that Qi behaves remarkably like the quantum particles he once studied, and the Tao Te Ching, an ancient text on the Way of Nature, mirrors his understanding of Quantum Mechanics and concepts like superposition and the power of non-intervention for maximised outputs. His Probability Wave Meditation and Entanglement Binding become legendary techniques, surpassing age-old traditions. But true mastery requires more than equations. To achieve ultimate power, James must balance his scientific mind with the intuitive wisdom of the Tao, walking a path where logic and enlightenment converge, as he confronts powerful cultivators, palace intrigue, and the secrets of a world on the brink of collapse. Will his knowledge save this world, and perhaps even his own, left behind? This unique science fantasy cultivation novel will challenge your preconceptions about science, spirituality, and the hidden potential within us all, by reframing spiritual power using the Quantum approach. The wisdom from The Quantum Tao text guides and steers James in his approach and development, showing a compelling harmony in principles between vastly distinct domains to maximize and effectively realize the potential impact from recognizing hidden interconnected patterns for vast improvement over direct interventions.
