For years, he knew only stillness. Confined to a body that refused to move, unable to speak or act, his world was reduced to the smallest of motions—a blink, a breath. He had lived on the fringes of existence, watching life pass him by while his dreams withered, unreachable. On modern-day Earth, his broken body had long sentenced him to a life of quiet despair. Then the world changed. When the heavens split and the Cultivation Assist System descended, the rules of reality were rewritten. The Awakening brought power, opportunity, and a spark of hope to every corner of the world. For him, it brought a miracle: the chance to heal. The system mended the broken shell that had confined him for so long, restoring his strength and granting him the body he had always longed for. For the first time in years, he stood, felt the earth beneath his feet, and believed he could rise alongside the world’s new era. But even miracles have limits. While others rushed into the grand Pagodas—the centers of knowledge and cultivation where the strongest paths began—he was denied entry. Barred from the heart of the Awakening, he was forced to endure its trials on the outskirts. Every step forward came harder for him than it did for others. He clawed and fought for scraps of the opportunities others seemed to have handed to them. But he did not stop. Through sheer determination, he began to ascend. Slowly but surely, he carved out his place in the new world, defying the odds and the whispers of those who doubted him. He could see the life he had dreamed of—freedom, power, and the chance to soar—just within reach. But the world was not as kind as he believed. Just as he reached for the heights he had fought so hard to claim, betrayal struck. The knife that ended his life came not from an enemy, but from someone he thought loved him. The warmth of trust turned to the cold sting of death, and in his final moments, as the darkness took him, he wondered how he could have been so blind. But death was not the end. When he awakens again, in a new life and body, the memories of his first remain vivid and sharp. The struggles, the triumphs, and the bitter sting of betrayal—they burn within him, forging a determination that will not be silenced. The Cultivation Assist System is still there, but the rules of his second life are different, and the world he returns to is even more dangerous than before. Ashes to Apex follows the journey of a young man who rose from nothing, fought against impossible odds, and was struck down before he could truly soar. It is a tale of rebirth, ambition, and the unyielding drive to rise beyond the limits of fate. As the embers of his first life ignite a new flame, one question remains: How far can he rise before the ashes of his past threaten to consume him once more?

The story is set on the Virtual Planet hosting virtual characters known as digitalonians whom a computer scientist Johnny Carbuncle created nearly a million years ago when the planet Earth was threatened. Johnny thought he had found a way to immortalize human beings in the virtual world. Johnny didn’t realize he had committed a blunder. The blunder was not just in the creation of the virtual planet, but also in excessive focus on intelligence and intelligence alone to the complete exclusion of emotion and everything that goes with it. Andromeda, who is also the novel’s central character, is extremely disappointed with his fate and the fates of the denizens of the virtual planet when he begins to understand the planet Earth and the human life that existed about a million years ago. Andromeda has plans to repopulate the Earth with human beings. There are several challenges in his project. A major challenge comes from Dorado, a digitalonian scientist who rejects Andromeda’s project as devolution that is against scientific principles. In addition, there are several other challenges. It is especially challenging because the digitalonians are asexual, while the repopulation on the planet Earth is predicated on the fundamental principle of sexual reproduction. Andromeda is eventually successful but the process of personal discovery and the rediscovery of the human race and the planet Earth comes with surprises along the way.

Tattered shrapnel rings in the distance. The ashes of man's sin cannot be washed down with alcohol nor holy water. We who murder shall live in the suffering we have caused. Indeed, it is so. Somewhere near, a man who has used up his life looks down a pile of ash. The clouds are ignorant of all that was. The man sighs. The sky blinks, to dust he becomes. And so forth is the cycle of blood. He remembers, but perhaps it does not matter. Another leaves into purgatory. The doctor can only pray that fate have mercy.

In the blink of an eye, the world as we knew it changed forever. It wasn’t a plague, nor an alien invasion from outer space. Instead, Earth itself revolted against it’s inhabitants. The axis shifted, and suddenly, we were hurtling away from the sun, condemned to a fate of eternal winter. As days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months, chaos ensued. Natural disasters ravaged the lands, tearing apart cities and communities. The once bustling streets were now desolate, covered in layers of frost and despair. With each passing day, the temperature plummeted freezing everything in its path. Electricity became a luxury of the past, leaving us to fend for ourselves in the darkness. Food and resources dwindled, forcing humanity into a primal struggle for survival. The rules of society crumbled, replaced by the law of the fittest. Amidst this bleak landscape, our protagonist emerged a lone wandering fighter fighting against the elements and the savagery of mankind. With each step he faced the relentless cold, the ferocious beasts displaced by shifting climates, and the ever-present threat of encountering fellow survivors driven to madness by desperation.

Ashes of Eternity is a tale carved from the bones of a shattered world, where humanity stands at the precipice of its own rebirth. Centuries ago, the skies darkened, and the earth shuddered under the weight of humanity’s hubris. The great cities, once symbols of progress, became tombs of glass and steel. From the ashes of this apocalypse, a new kind of human emerged—scarred, powerful, and unyielding. These “Children of the Ashes” possess abilities born of the cataclysm, a gift and a curse that binds them to the fractured remnants of the world. This is a story of resilience and loss, of love found in darkness and hope that refuses to die. It unfolds in a landscape both desolate and hauntingly beautiful, where the echoes of the past clash with the fragile threads of a future yet to be written. Here, survival is a war against both the elements and the human heart. Amid this desolation stands Serin, a young woman burdened by a power she cannot fully control. Her journey begins in the ruins of Haven, a crumbling bastion of humanity. There, she discovers the remnants of an ancient prophecy, one that speaks of a chosen few destined to rekindle the light in the dying world—or extinguish it forever. Alongside Serin is Kael, a warrior haunted by the ghosts of his past, and Elyon, a mysterious wanderer whose secrets could either save or doom them all. As their paths intertwine, they face enemies born of both man and myth—creatures twisted by the cataclysm, and a shadowy council that seeks to wield the Children of the Ashes as tools of dominion. Yet the greatest battle lies within, as Serin and her companions grapple with the cost of their powers and the fragile bonds that hold them together. The ashes of eternity whisper a haunting truth: from destruction, something new must rise. But what is forged may not always be pure. In this tale of sacrifice and redemption, every choice matters, and every soul carries the weight of the world. Brace yourself for a journey into the heart of ruin, where beauty and terror walk hand in hand, and the line between salvation and damnation blurs.

Luk era una persona común, atrapado en la monotonía de una vida que parecía no tener futuro. Sin grandes ambiciones ni logros, su existencia se resumía en una rutina aburrida y carente de sentido. Todo cambió una noche cuando, buscando escapar de su realidad, fumo con sus amigos y conocidos, pero uno de ellos saco una droga que prometía hacerle olvidar, al menos por un momento, su miserable vida. Pero el alivio fue breve, pues la dosis resultó ser mortal. Sin remordimientos ni arrepentimientos, Luk cerró los ojos, pensando que ese era el fin. Para su sorpresa, no fue así. Despertó en un mundo completamente diferente, uno sacado de los cuentos de fantasía que alguna vez había escuchado.

Con el deseo de vivir en paz, lejos de las aventuras y conflictos que suelen acompañar a los protagonistas de estos relatos, Cassian se embarca en una lucha diaria por la supervivencia. En un mundo que refleja las duras realidades de la Edad Media, donde el peligro acecha en cada esquina.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AMRahi This is a somewhat satiric xianxia story, mainly focusing on mystery solving, absurd humorous situations, and cultivation politics. [ Synopsis ] The universe gives some of us gifts that we may utilize to achieve our goals, reach the highest peak of our vision, holding an edge over every competitor. The universe also takes away taken-for-granted abilities from some of us, restricting us at every step we take forward, bombarding us with obstacles, and rendering us incapable of touching our aspirations in life. How would YOU lead your life, had you fallen among the latter minority? Across the vast Macrocosms of Man, the world of cultivation continues to demonstrate its brutality, its hazards, and its never-ending cycles of conflicts. One day, we find ourselves becoming conscious of the truth of our world....and that's where our story begins. As someone meant to be a weakling, you need to think of sources of power other than pure cultivation- and that's what our protagonist, Han Xuhan excels in.

One fateful day, humanity was inexplicably blessed—or cursed—with the ability to control fire. Flames, once a force of nature, now bent to the will of men. Some saw it as a divine gift, a path to prosperity and power. Others feared it as a gateway to destruction. Entire civilizations were transformed overnight, with new rulers rising from the ashes, wielding their newfound powers like gods. But with great power comes even greater consequences. As rival factions and flame-wielding warlords clash for dominance, society teeters on the brink of collapse. Those who reject the power struggle fight to uncover the truth behind the mysterious phenomenon, wondering if there is a hidden price to pay for this dangerous gift. In the midst of this chaos, a young orphan named Takashi Ren discovers an ancient prophecy that suggests the flames may not be a gift from the gods, but a test—or worse, a trap. As Takashi Ren sets off a perilous journey to discover the secrets of the flames.
