A Thousand Reasons To Smile

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

"Leo's innocence was shattered the day he witnessed a horror he could never forget which he wished so badly his innocent eyes didn’t witness . His elder brother, once a guiding light, plunged a knife into their father's chest, and walked away with a chilling smile. Leo, still a child, was frozen in terror, his playful nature replaced with a haunting dread. He hid in the shadows, his camera still rolling, capturing the sinister act. As the brother vanished, Leo crept out from under the table, his legs trembling like leaves. He approached his father, whose eyes pleaded for silence. "Dad, what happened? Should I call for help? You're bleeding...you look so sick." His father's voice was barely audible, but the urgency was clear. "Leo, listen carefully. The safe...it's yours now. Only your fingerprint can open it. Never let anyone near it. The truth you seek, it's all inside. When your grandfather comes, go with him, take the safe, and leave with him. Protect it with your life."

For centuries, sixteen castles have acted as seals to otherworldly monster dimensions, preventing their horrors from spilling into reality. When these monsters escape, they manifest as natural disasters—earthquakes, plagues, massacres, and worse. To keep them at bay, elite warriors and raiders with supernatural abilities fight back each time a portal opens. Fifteen castles have accepted the help of governments and organizations, except one—the Kanagawa Castle. The secretive Kanagawa family has always fought "their monsters" alone. But when they unexpectedly call for help, the world listens. Among those chosen to document the event is Kaede, a nobody—an awkward, cowardly school journalist assigned to follow the powerful Sun Jia, a top-tier raider and his long-time crush. But when they enter Kanagawa’s portal, everything goes wrong. Two doors open instead of one—an anomaly. Sun Jia and the team enter what appears to be the safer path. But inside, they face a nightmare beyond comprehension—the domain of Shiniyuku Shinigami, the Dying Death God. Reality collapses. The raiders don’t just die—they feel their deaths transcending time, erased from existence before they can even react. Kaede, the weakest among them, experiences his own death differently—shorter, but far more agonizing. Shiniyuku, intrigued by his insignificance, spares him, mocking his cowardice. Kaede wakes up two years later, the only survivor of the disaster. The world has changed—door hunting is now a global industry, and the Kanagawa family has become more powerful than ever. But something inside him has changed too. A power is growing, something unnatural. Determined to uncover the truth behind Kanagawa, Akihiko’s true intentions, and the identity of the enigmatic Knight X, Kaede embarks on a journey—not as a hero, but as a man seeking redemption. But as he grows stronger, a terrifying truth emerges... Kaede is no longer just a survivor. He is becoming something else entirely. Something that should never exist in reality.

Imagine a wild fusion of sharp British wit and anime absurdity. This light novel blends wry, quirky humour with a satirical journey through the ever-evolving world of online trends, social media, gaming, and music culture. It’s the kind of book nobody else could have written—and the one I always wished existed. Lillian is like all other girls—every single one of them. She dreams of eBunnee fame on the hottest social media app around. But while wandering through the enchanting #HeartLingForest, she stumbles upon something—or rather, someone—a quirky ghost girl with a flair for the dramatic, and when Lillian asks the ghost to follow her... she literally does. At Estresey Academy, the youth of today are moulded into eBunnee addicts, trained to worship followers as if they're the key to eternal life. In this bizarre world, followers aren’t just important—they’re everything. eBunnee is so addictive, even the non-humans, inanimate objects, AND ghosts are scrambling for their own slice of the fame pie. Join Lillian (or, you know, follow/stalk) on her hilarious journey through a world where fame is fleeting, friendships are tested, and the line between reality and the virtual realm blurs in the most entertaining ways!

I was just a nobody in my village, someone who barely made enough coin to get by. One day, a strange traveler gave me something no one could explain: a Living Compass.

In a world where venom is power and survival is a razor’s edge, a reincarnated teenager must navigate the laws of a merciless forest—not as a hero, but as a snake After being poisoned by a jealous cousin, Huǐ Yuān awakens in a primordial wilderness reborn as a hatchling tree snake. Stripped of his humanity, he discovers a brutal truth: this world operates on a hierarchy of life force, where every creature—from the smallest insect to the shadowed leviathans lurking in forgotten caves—hungers to devour the weak. Guided by a cryptic energy absorbed through his kills, Huǐ Yuān learns to harness venom not just to survive, but to cultivate. His venom heals his wounds, his senses map the pulsating auras of predators, and every consumed life fuels his fragile ascent. Yet each gain comes at a cost—ravenous hunger, fragmented memories of prey, and the haunting realization that the line between hunter and hunted is razor-thin. But the forest hides darker secrets. A cavern he once fled radiates an ancient, malevolent force, its aura warping the land itself. To survive, Huǐ Yuān must tread a dangerous path: avoid predators marked by searing life forces, outwit cunning beasts, and unravel the mystery of his serpentine power—all while clinging to the fading echoes of his human soul, this about a snake that raise from the bottom to rule every dark shadow in this world.
