Everlast

The Erratum

“Aegir..” A single word remains in Cetas’ mind as he succumbs to the everlasting pressure of the depths - a glimmer of light filtering from above. He floats endlessly, the tidal currents rushing his body to who-knows-where yet he remains unconscious as the word echoes in his mind. He no longer remembers any memories that he once had but only mere fragments of what his past once was. A depth-dweller. A long lost race of ancient, forgotten in history as humans usurped the throne of the world, claiming superiority amongst other races of legend. After the war of mystics, only humans endured to live and gather themselves once more - dominating the entire world by force. Yet, depth dwellers remained - hidden and forgotten. And now.. The first would rise up on the surface. For hours upon hours, Cetas let the currents take him away, rendering his consciousness useless everytime he woke up. But now, it seemed that a warm and radiating light pierced his very pressurized skin. It was.. unfamiliar. He opened his eyes only to be greeted by a rocking hull, shaking synchronously with the sound of crashing waves. Yet, somewhere near him, he heard a faint and soft voice speaking a foreign language. He shifted his head to the direction of the voice and saw an unfamiliar face of a golden-haired lady with sea-like blue eyes, staring at him with utmost curiosity. The lady opened her mouth and let out another wave of unfamiliar words. Perplexed, Cetas sat up slowly, moving his body sluggishly. He then gazed at his surroundings, first staring at the massive rocking hull and onto the wooden floor and to the people surrounding him. Some wore bandanas and others wore white-loose blouses paired with leather boots and tricorn hats. However, Cetas wasn’t at all surprised by the unfamiliar scenery. But rather, he gazed above the sky, reaching far beyond the clouds, and saw the burning sphere of light that penetrated his deep-black eyes. Upon staring for 5 seconds he instinctively winced in pain. “Ow!” He looked around once more, pacing his head back and forth towards the unfamiliar people around him, and pondered, “Where am I?”

The Ten-Day Apocalypse

The protagonist, Qi Xia, awakens in a strange room with nine others. A humanoid sheep informs them they must participate in a special game—to create a god like Nuwa. Their first challenge is "The Liar," where each must recount their last memories before arriving. As they exchange stories, they realize they come from different provinces and all died in an earthquake, suggesting a global catastrophe. After four rounds, they win but do not return to reality. Instead, they step into a ruined city filled with death—the "Land of Ruin." A humanoid dragon explains that to escape, they must gamble against the "Twelve Zodiacs" wearing animal masks and collect 3,600 "Dao" within ten days. As the game progresses, Qi Xia’s teammates die one by one, revealing that in their final moments, they awaken supernatural abilities—such as pulling objects from empty containers. This phenomenon, called "Echo," allows them to manipulate reality in small ways. On the fourth day, Qi Xia is also killed but unexpectedly wakes up the day before entering the Land of Ruin. He relives the earthquake, returns to the interview room, and finds his wife has disappeared from the real world, leaving no trace of her existence. The Land of Ruin was created by powerful figures who followed an ancient book detailing methods to obtain supernatural abilities. Their goal was to create a god, using over a thousand souls who were originally meant to descend into hell as test subjects. However, the highest authority, Tianlong, defied the original plan, believing he should be the one to ascend. He abandoned the god-making project and instead made a wager with Qi Xia. Qi Xia either loses (or does not lose) the bet and has his sorrow sealed. However, before his defeat, his power surges, and he declares that all fallen participants will return and that the Echo-bearers will overthrow Tianlong. Because of his words, all the deceased revive on the eleventh day. In the second grand cycle, Qi Xia loses his sorrow and can no longer awaken his ability, "Everlasting Vitality." This weakens his efficiency in looping through time. Meanwhile, Tianlong fabricates a lie that collecting 3,600 Dao will allow them to escape, stalling for time. Qi Xia, desperate to find another way out, even attempts to become one of the Zodiacs. He starts as a Human-Sheep, and after killing many participants, ascends to the status of an Earthly Sheep. However, as he is about to become a Heavenly Sheep, Tianlong deceives him, erases his memories, and resets him to a normal human—thus beginning the main story. Through countless loops, Qi Xia allies with others who have awakened Echo abilities, battling Tianlong and his forces, including the Zodiacs and Divine Beasts. They must not only survive deadly games but also uncover the hidden secrets of the Land of Ruin, all while navigating betrayals, tests of trust, and human nature’s complexities. The story’s climax is full of twists. The first major revelation is that Qi Xia had already become a god. The entire novel is actually his second loop—his first rebellion failed, Tianlong destroyed the Land of Ruin, and Qi Xia was the sole survivor. In eternity, Qi Xia used his godlike power to recreate the Land of Ruin, reviving the Zodiacs, Divine Beasts, and participants, setting the stage for another battle against Tianlong. The second twist reveals Qi Xia tricks Tianlong into a dream, using his power to create a new world where everyone’s wishes are fulfilled. However, this world cannot contain Qi Xia. In the end, he sacrifices himself, exchanging his despair for everyone else’s happiness.

Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation.

However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it. Note: English is not my first language and the cover image is not mine.

Profane Empress of Obsession

"Oh, My beloved Scarlet flame... Burn to your heart's content!" "Your wicked embers soothe and mend my broken heart and shattered spirit." "On that day, you took everything from me." "Tell me..." "Divine Emperor, do you regret it now?" "As your cities and people burn?" "Divine Emperor!" "This Regina el Ingnus is no longer weak or afraid!" "Her Scarlet Flames of Wrath will judge your sins." A woman staggered forward, tripping on burning rubble, her bloodstained hands slipping as she tripped. Her luscious hair was blonde like the radiant sun, while her eyes were like the blue sea. She stood frozen as the merciless flames danced across her eyes as if mocking her survival and weakness. Her body was still, watching silently as her beautiful village burned. All that remained was a ruined village bathing in the everlasting fires of avarice. All because she was a Holy Maiden. They were a blessed existence to the Kingdom, a cursed existence to the Empire. They were known as the Holy Maiden to the Holy Church of Amora, Goddess of the moon and fertility. But merely known as the Whore of Sin to the Empire and their Divine Son, rumoured to be descendants of the God of the sun and Justice. The Holy Maiden was an existence that was born only once in every 2,000,000 people. A Holy maiden had a powerful affinity for all magic, and increased physical capabilities, usually appearing as an ethereal and charming woman with both male and female reproductive organs. However, they were infertile due to a curse. The Divine Son was born the same year as the Holy Maiden. The Goddess Amora and the God Zelmot were bitter enemies, constantly at war; after suffering a close defeat, Zelmot created a curse that would torment all future Holy Maidens. As if to spite the goddess of fertility, Zelmot stained her beloved daughters with the curse of infertility. In revenge, Amora cursed the Divine Son of Zelmot. He would become enchanted and fall deeply in love with the Holy Maiden, eventually growing insane with their love towards her. The ancient texts rumoured that if the Divine Son lost to the Holy Maiden, he would become a female forever devoted to the Maiden. But if the Holy Maiden were to lose, she would lose her ability to use magic and become frail and hideous, like a monster. When the Divine Church of Justice learned of this truth, they began to hunt down ALL that displayed similarities with the Holy Maiden; this dark period of the Empire... Its given name was "The Purge of the Red Moon" After its 3,000-year history, the Kingdom has failed to protect and save a single Holy Maiden from death, abuse, torture or torment. Their only achievement was to stop the Divine Son from being the killer. In contrast, the Empire still worships the Divine Son's return each time one is born. At this moment, the Empire rode away, convinced of another victory. However, a female figure shambled forward with bated breath and a broken heart. Regina El Ignis, heiress of Baron Maxim El Ignis. Lord of the small village and land surrounding Ignia, bordering the Empire. She stumbled forward, Taking her first steps as the Holy Maiden of Scarlet Flames. "Alceste, my beloved... can you hear my lament, feel my love for you as I cut down our enemies?" The maiden stands on a pile of burnt corpses, her body twirling as if dancing on their corpses, a twisted smile upon her face. Armed with a giant black sword and scarlet flames, seven women wielding various magic accompany her as she steps forward like a fairy of brutal death. "They call me the Scarlet Empress of Obsession..." "However, My dear witches of calamity! I became Empress only for you~."
