Marsh Rock Shrine

A slow-burn slice-of-life LitRPG with alchemy, reluctant heroism, and one overly enthusiastic pugilist. Aiden Hallowcreek wanted a quiet life—tucked away on a mountainside with nothing but bubbling potions, rare herbs, and his tiny water spirit Misty for company. Sure, his alchemy class isn’t flashy, and leveling up takes forever, but it’s peaceful. Predictable.  Dull. Then Jax, a fullblood wolf beastman martial artist with a love of booze and the subtlety of a landslide, crashes into his life looking for a guide—and maybe a friend. Now Aiden’s quiet routine is upended by fire ghosts, forgotten shrines, cryptic magic circles, and a creeping sense that maybe, just maybe, he was meant for more than backroom brewing. With a reluctant heart, a bag full of potions that may not even be enough, and a party forming whether he likes it or not, Aiden is about to learn that adventure doesn’t always come with a warning label—and neither does friendship. Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, quirky party dynamics, and underdogs who'd rather nap than fight—until they don’t.

From the beginning of the journey to the west to the end of the mythology The world is full of flags and clouds, and sharp blades are everywhere With a graceful demeanor, doing righteous things, shining brightly and spitting fire, shining the wild and covering the marshes! ______ "Great Immortal, I'm leaving." "If you are as bright as the sun, then this time you go, you will be invincible!"

Why build a harem… …when you can steal everyone else’s? Rejected without confessing. Friendzoned before even speaking. Too bad for them—he’s done being average. Armed with a system that thrives on charisma (even if his starts at rock bottom), sharp tongue, and unmatched game sense, Eiden isn’t here to play nice. He’s not the hero, not the villain—he’s the damn glitch in the story. The protagonist ?? He’ll outwit them. The arrogant beauties? He’ll make them kneel. The childhood sweethearts, the princesses, the cold beauties? They’ll come to him. Willingly. This isn’t your story. It’s his conquest. And no harem is safe.

1981. Small-town nobodies. No label. No future. Just noise. Until the sound hit. Gritty. Wild. Untamed. The band Saints was born in a garage no one believed in. But when their music explodes onto the underground scene, they go from local outcasts to the face of a revolution. Arena tours, magazine covers, screaming fans it’s all happening fast. But the world of rock isn’t just glory. It’s pressure. It’s betrayal. It’s control. As industry giants close in and rival bands circle like vultures, staying true to the music might be the hardest gig of all. This is our story. How we broke the rules. How we changed everything. How we became legends. We weren’t made for fame. We forged it. This series contains mature themes including drug use, alcohol abuse, strong language, and adult lifestyles reflective of the 1980s rock scene.

O poder do controle absoluto... Tempo. Depois que Rock morreu, ele misteriosamente reencarnou no corpo quase morto de Shun Long quando uma rocha triangular se fundiu com sua alma, e um súbito influxo de informações inundou sua mente. Agora ele se encontra em um mundo místico cheio de cultivadores extraordinariamente poderosos que podem destruir montanhas com um único soco e dividir mares ao meio com um único golpe de espada!

The sky was meant to be still. It was the ground that broke, the seas that shifted — never the wind. But when the sky begins to fall, Aera is the only one who hears it scream. High above the world, the floating island of Whisperfall was Aera’s entire life — a place of open skies, quiet laughter, and distant storms. That peace shatters when strange glyphs begin to glow beneath the cliffs, and the wind carries voices that don’t belong. In the aftermath of a tragedy that tears his home from the heavens, Aera is left wandering the scattered remains of a broken sky. Guided only by fragments of a forgotten power — Threadbinding — he begins to uncover the ancient Loom that holds the world’s fate together... and the truth that something is unraveling it, piece by piece. As he follows the threads through fallen shrines, cryptic ruins, and haunted skies, Aera discovers that he’s not the first to walk this path — only the latest. And if he wants to survive the storm to come, he must learn to bind the wind itself… or be lost to it forever.

[Ultra-Short Version] --- MC got betrayed. Becomes a Planet. Has a System. Takes his Revenge. Rules as Cosmic Overlord. [Short Version] --- Betrayed by his crew, left to die alone in the void. Donnes died, and woke up as a whole-ass broken, abandoned planet. Once human. Now a Shattered Planet with nothing left: no core, no warmth, no hope. But if the universe thinks it can devour him twice... It's about to learn what a twice-abandoned, twice-betrayed soul can become. [Long Version] --- He was the Ninth Planet of his Solar System. But he was abandoned by his brother and sister planets. Even his beloved moons betrayed him for the Eighth Blue Giant. The parent star—Oralen—never considered him family. Treated him like an outsider. So when Graveth, a planet-devouring cosmic horror, loomed over the Oralen System, they tossed him out as bait and left him drifting alone in the cold darkness of the void. Graveth found this tiny planet. To its endless hunger, he was nothing—just a brittle bauble of rock. Yet it stripped away everything: atmosphere, crust, even the meager molten core, until only cracked stone remained. Completely dead. No one knows how long that shattered amalgamation of rock drifted in the endless dark. Until Donnes awoke who was also Abandoned and Betrayed by those who he called family. Instead of being Isekai’ed into some random Noble Young Master in a fantasy kingdom, his soul had transmigrated into a whole-ass planet. A dead husk of a planet. Adrift in the cold, silent void.

Ren has never known kindness. He grew up alone in the slums, learning to survive by staying out of sight and trusting no one. One night, he stumbles into a strange tunnel and finds a hidden shrine forgotten by time. There, he sees a black cat with golden eyes and hears a voice inside his head. The shrine is more than it seems. So is the cat. As Ren is pulled into something ancient and mysterious, he must decide if he's willing to take a different step in life or keep running from the world that hurt him. Because the city doesn't care if he lives or dies, but something in the dark might.

A meteor crashes to Earth — but it's no rock. It’s a boy. Silent. Unmoving. Unfathomable. As Earth’s heroes and armies prepare to strike, they soon realize he’s not an invader… he’s something far older. Far greater. His name is Thraxa — a being of immense power who hasn’t awakened. Not even his own people know why. And beings beyond the stars are starting to take notice. The boy is only the beginning.

Arthur Cain lost everything—his father, his home, and almost his mother. Now stuck in a cycle of pain, poverty, and survival, he’s forced to grow up fast and fight even harder. Just when life pushes him past his limit... A mysterious system appears. But it’s not a blessing—it’s a brutal challenge. Stats don’t come easy. Power has a price. And evolution? It begins at rock bottom.

Jalen Thorn talks to dirt. Okay—technically, he listens. And usually, the dirt doesn’t listen back. But lately? The ground’s been quiet. Too quiet. He’s just a small-town farmer. No flashy class. No System activation. No tragic backstory (well, maybe a little). Just a guy with a steady routine, a good field, and a mysterious guardian figure who may or may not be hiding things. Then something shifts. The wind goes still. The roots won’t grow. And a strange fungus spreads across the hills like the land itself is trying to remember something. Then comes the System message—a quest that wasn’t meant for him—and the feeling that something buried is waking up. So now Jalen, who just wanted to finish his harvest and nap under a tree, is neck-deep in ancient glyphs, buried shrines, and friends returning with smug birds and secrets of their own. The Cycle is stirring. The land remembers. And Jalen’s about to find out that when the elements choose you, they don’t ask permission. (Totally fine. Nothing weird at all.)

This is Shun Long's journey in the majestic world of cultivation, as he fights geniuses and reaches the pinnacle of both alchemy and martial arts!

A fast-paced story of assassination picking off his adversaries and leaders one by one. How he attained a fearful reputation, worry not, because we’re cutting to the core of the issue with an insight into the real assassin's code. What’s more, a hallmark of the killings was made public as possible so as to sow maximum fear, overwhelmingly ending in the assassin’s death. He turned himself into a calculating machine, an extremely terrifying assassin that would give nightmares to the enemies and feared by the underworld including the SAS, CIA, and M16 Government. Of course, this was no trivial task requiring both skill and training. The greatest benefit of becoming a skilled fighter was mentored by two elderly couples who were not in this world that has unimaginable power of life forces. A true story with fantasy.

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

If you’re looking for another cheerful power fantasy where the hero rises, wins hearts, and saves the world with plot armor so thick it could stop a meteor with just a tiny finger then stop this isn’t that story. This is not a tale of hope. This is a tale of Dead. In a decaying multiverse governed by the Samsara of Creation and Destruction, worlds collapse, merge, and bleed into each other. The strong don’t always survive. The kind rarely thrive. And fate… fate is just a prettier word for torment it the synonym of suffering. As forgotten worlds rot and monstrous truths crawl from the void, Nine divine houses tighten their grip on what remains in their hands. The shrines lie. The Seeker System watches. The gates open, not as miracles—but as warnings. Behind each one lies a trial. A silence. A scream. A dead end. If you're tired of pretty lies and want a world that hurts, one that haunts, one that speaks to the part of you that knows not all stories end with salvation— Then step inside. But don't expect to leave whole.
