A young man, around fifteen years old, was walking under the late afternoon sun, at that moment when the light turned golden and soft. The air was cool, still carrying traces of the day's heat, gently warming his skin. With each step, he seemed lost in his thoughts, his gaze drifting into the long shadows of the trees and the gentle breeze whispering through the leaves. Night was slowly approaching, but the sky still held warm hues, like the last breath of summer before the evening arrived. Once at the entrance of his alley, he saw a car speeding toward him. He didn’t have time to react before he was thrown into the air. In those final moments of suffering and his last breath, he died—but...

In a world where cultivation reigns supreme, power is determined by ancient practices passed down through generations. But when a man from the modern world is reincarnated into this mystical realm, everything changes. Zane Carter, a genius in the fields of technology and innovation, never expected to die in his previous life. But after a sudden, untimely death, he’s reincarnated in a world where cultivation is the only path to power. The world is ancient, steeped in traditions and powerful sects that have ruled for centuries, but Zane quickly realizes that his knowledge of the modern world gives him an unprecedented advantage. With the help of a mysterious system that allows him to integrate modern technology into the world of cultivation, Zane begins his journey. Weapons that once seemed foreign—guns, machines, and even everyday technology—are now powerful tools in his hands, infused with spiritual energy and the power of cultivation. Manga, manhua, and even digital media are transformed into cultivation books and techniques that anyone in the sect can use to grow stronger. As Zane builds his sect, he recruits cultivators who are eager for a new way to advance. His sect becomes known for its modern approach, blending cutting-edge technology with traditional cultivation practices. However, not everyone welcomes the disruption to their ancient ways. Rival sects, envious of his rapid rise, declare war on him. Powerful enemies will stop at nothing to destroy the "modern" sect and preserve the status quo. But Zane is no ordinary cultivator. Armed with both ancient knowledge and the wonders of the modern world, he will stop at nothing to create the strongest sect in existence. With every victory, his influence spreads, and the world will either adapt to this new age of cultivation—or be crushed beneath it. By the way just saying, the book cover is not mine.

Have you ever wondered what's on the other side of the mirror? This is not just another sappy coming-of-age story about school and first crushes. It is a brutally honest story about bullying and misunderstanding. About violence that adults often fail to see. About fear that eats you up from the inside. About the struggle – the daily struggle that thousands of teenagers face. It is a dark, poignant story about how lonely you can be in a crowd, how imperceptible the dramas of their children are to adults, and how thin the line between reality and nightmare is. Maja is an ordinary girl who struggles with hate and a lack of understanding every day. She doesn't fit in. She is different. She sees more, feels more, but she can't tell anyone. Sometimes she doesn't even understand herself. Lina – her imaginary friend – has been with her since childhood. At least, that's what the adults say. Because Maja knows that Lina is not imaginary. But if that's the case... who is she really? It is a coming-of-age story, but in a completely different light. A light that barely shines through the darkness. About how easy it is to disappear – and how difficult it is to be noticed. Adults say, “It's just a phase.” Children are silent because no one listens to them. But what if there are things that cannot be ignored? This is a story about what lurks in the darkness – and what happens when the shadow starts to look in our direction. A story in which anyone who has ever felt invisible can recognize themselves. Do you dare to look into the mirror?
