In a realm where cultivators wield weapons bound to powerful spirits, Kai, a humble blacksmith from the outskirts, lives in the shadow of legendary warriors and their spirit-forged arms. While most dream of battles and glory, Kai finds peace in the solitude of his forge—until one fateful night when he discovers an ancient, shattered weapon bearing a faint pulse of life. As he repairs the broken blade, he awakens an ethereal spirit long forgotten, binding him to a power beyond any he could have imagined: the power to craft weapons infused not only with strength but with souls.

In "The Celestial Forge Master," Kai’s journey becomes one of self-discovery and courage as he forges a path that challenges the very nature of power and sacrifice. With every swing of his hammer, he must face the question: will he be a maker of weapons or a creator of freedom?

Bronze WINNER of WPC#322: Male Lead: Zombie Invasion Takemi Kazuichi might very well be the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. He was an orphan, and he was severely bullied in school. Because of that, he became a hikikomori, a shut-in. When he turned sixteen, he was adopted by a rich couple who loved him as if he was their own son. Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives. Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people. For the lack of a better term, he was a rich hikikomori. He never even bothered to check the news or log in on any social media. All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction. One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door. And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all. It was a zombie— or so that's what the first thing that came into Kazuichi's mind. Unbeknownst to him, the world had drastically changed, and he was the last one to know.

Description: Kai Evernight, a lazy nobleman with a sharp intellect and a seemingly oblivious nature, attracts the unshakable devotion of three dangerous men—each one powerful, flawed, and irreversibly bound to him by obsession. There’s Edward, his assassin butler who finds himself helplessly loyal to his unbothered lord; Noah, a scarred experiment with tentacle powers who clings to the warmth Kai unknowingly provides; and Charles, a gentle yet troubled fox shifter whose rough life on the streets turns into a fixation on Kai’s rare kindness. But Kai’s affection, while scarce, has become their reason for living. As their devotion deepens into a possessive need, their lives intertwine with one shared purpose: serving, protecting, and being acknowledged by Kai. With their obsession growing and his curiosity piqued, Kai finds himself toying with their loyalty—testing the boundaries of their devotion to see just how far his subtle influence can go. What begins as a tale of reluctant guardianship turns darker as each man descends into an all-consuming love that borders on madness. And while Kai believes he can remain detached, he soon realizes he’s woven himself into something far more dangerous than he could have anticipated. How long can Kai balance his desire for solitude against their unrelenting devotion, and what will happen when they each start craving far more than he’s willing to give?

I just wanted to slurp my instant noodles and enjoy another trashy series, that’s all I was looking forward to. But instead, I got kidnapped. Then, I died. That's what I remember, at least. But hey, I didn't stay dead. Somehow, I got reincarnated into the body of a young master of the Rainbow Sect. The problem? He was your typical arrogant, spoiled young master. A guy with a ridiculously inflated ego who loved flaunting his power and wealth. So, yeah, not exactly a great deal for me. Instead of waiting for my inevitable doom, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I wasn't about to play the part of some arrogant, entitled brat. I wasn't going to fight other geniuses, and I sure as hell wasn't going to waste my time trying to reach the top in some ridiculous power struggle. Nope. I was done with that nonsense. So, I fled. I ran as far away as I could and found myself a nice, quiet life... cultivating herbs in the peace and solitude of my own little garden. Who needs to challenge the heavens when you can grow your own food in peace? Farming was where the real satisfaction was for me. Fighting, scheming, and trying to outsmart everyone? Not my thing.

I ain't no pro or anything, and honestly, this is the first time I’ve written a novel. I'm also a potato, and not a gun owner, so English ain't my mother tongue. But don't worry, I went to school, and it wasn’t an art one.

A boy believed his life held no worth because he couldn’t understand people—their friendships, bonds, or even the purpose of their existence. He saw things beyond what humans were meant to perceive, but always dismissed them, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him. Though gifted in many ways, he lived in solitude, waiting for his life to quietly end. That was, until he met an unusual girl at school. She promised to show him life’s hidden worth, and for the first time, he found himself wanting to believe her. But just as he began to embrace her words, an accident stole his life. Or so he thought. The next morning, he woke in his bed, memories of his death vivid and unsettling. A strange piece of dark metal ring wrapped around his right middle finger, and a mysterious to-do list filled his mind—a series of tasks with curious rewards for each one completed. Now, with newfound power and cryptic objectives, he faces a choice: continue to follow the tasks, or use this second chance to live knowing the worth of his life.

Gawain awoke to find himself in a pitch-black, cramped space, surrounded by the faint scent of decay. As he reached out, fingers brushing against the cold stone walls, memories of drifting above an unfamiliar land for eons slowly returned. For tens of thousands of years, he had existed as a bodiless spirit, an invisible observer of time and space, with only his thoughts for company. The endless solitude had nearly erased his sense of self. But today, he felt something new—touch. He had finally acquired a body, a physical form. Yet, this “container” felt ominously wrong. Though he longed for a body, he hadn’t expected it to come in the form of something sealed in a coffin. How he came to inhabit this vessel was a mystery, but he knew one thing for certain: he was currently entombed in a burial box. With a bitter laugh, he realized his journey as a “complete” traveler across worlds would begin by clawing his way out of a grave—not exactly the rebirth he’d imagined. Using all his newfound strength, Gawain struggled to push open the heavy coffin lid. His unused muscles ached and strained, but the sensation of real, physical power thrilled him. After several attempts, he finally dislodged the stone cover, letting a thin ray of light pierce the darkness. “At last… a glimpse of the world again.”

The pendant, which had been absorbing his energy since his cultivation stalled, unleashed an ancient legacy, granting Shenlong powerful cultivation techniques and alchemy skills. Amidst his transformation, a shocking truth emerged—Shenlong was not his parents’ biological son. With new abilities and burning questions about his origins, Shenlong embarks on a journey to reclaim his honor, prove his worth, and uncover the mysteries surrounding his past and the enigmatic Qin pendant.
