Our world is virtual. What happens when two virtual worlds are connected? Paralyzed young man Ryan signs up for [Another World], becoming one of ten thousand explorers. The moment the game starts, he and his loyal dog Sasha are transported to an alternate world—a realm filled with wild beasts, relentless battles, and limitless evolution. Towering creatures roam the land, swift predators hunt in the shadows, and even dragons rule the skies. Deep within these creatures' skulls lie the mysterious Lumina Cores—absorbing them grants the genetic power of the beasts, allowing humans to break past their limits!

Zara is a billionaire venture capitalist—flawless, feared, and unstoppable. But beneath the luxury and power, she feels hollow. One night, she dreams of a presence made of light—a memory from beyond time. Then she discovers Yousen, a soft-spoken tech philosopher whose startup isn’t chasing profit, but truth. Drawn to him like a flame, she pursues him with everything she has. He refuses. Her empire crumbles. Exiled and broken, Zara begins a deeper journey—into silence, prayer, and purpose. Her obsession turns into devotion. Her ambition into surrender. Years later, they meet again. She no longer seeks to possess the light. She is the light. Part love story, part tech parable, part spiritual memoir, The Light Beyond the Code is a lyrical, cinematic journey through the ruins of ambition into the infinite depths of the self. Told in Zara’s fierce, poetic voice, it dances between boardrooms and burning deserts, startups and sacred texts, collapse and transcendence. This is not a story of falling in love. It is a story of rising beyond it.

"The Author of the Apocalypse" is a dark, philosophical saga of rebirth, futility, and the search for meaning in worlds where chaos and magic intertwine with human frailty. The protagonist, nameless in his past life, was a 25-year-old recluse whose novellas drowned in the apathy of the digital void until his existence was abruptly ended by a terrorist attack. Death, however, is not the end but a beginning: he is reborn as a grotesque infant in a world of swords and sorcery, within the powerful Dakota family, a branch of the De-Dakota-Lastmund clan. His new body—crooked, weak, repulsive—mirrors his former uselessness, yet within it smolder sparks of mana, promising a strength he has never known.

On the Genealogy of Morality: A Polemic (Genealogy of Morals) is an 1887 book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It consists of a preface and three interrelated essays that expand and follow through on concepts Nietzsche sketched out in Beyond Good and Evil (1886). The three trace episodes in the evolution of moral concepts with a view to confronting "moral prejudices", specifically those of Christianity and Judaism. Some Nietzsche scholars consider Genealogy to be a work of sustained brilliance and power as well as his masterpiece. Since its publication, it has influenced many authors and philosophers. In the "First Treatise", Nietzsche demonstrates that the two opposite pairs "good/evil" and "good/bad" have very different origins, and that the word "good" itself came to represent two opposed meanings. In the "good/bad" distinction, "good" is synonymous with nobility and everything which is powerful and life-asserting; in the "good/evil" distinction, which Nietzsche calls "slave morality", the meaning of "good" is made the antithesis of the original aristocratic "good", which itself is re-labelled "evil". This inversion of values develops out of the resentment of the powerful by the weak. In the "Second Treatise" Nietzsche advances his thesis that the origin of the institution of punishment is in a straightforward (pre-moral) creditor/debtor relationship. Man relies on the apparatus of forgetfulness in order not to become bogged down in the past. This forgetfulness is, according to Nietzsche, an active "faculty of repression", not mere inertia or absentmindedness. Man needs to develop an active faculty to work in opposition to this, so promises necessary for exercising control over the future can be made: this is memory. Nietzsche's purpose in the "Third Treatise" is "to bring to light, not what ideal has done, but simply what it means; what it indicates; what lies hidden behind it, beneath it, in it; of what it is the provisional, indistinct expression, overlaid with question marks and misunderstandings" (§23). As Nietzsche tells us in the Preface, the Third Treatise is a commentary on the aphorism prefixed to it. Textual studies have shown that this aphorism consists of §1 of the Treatise (not the epigraph to the Treatise, which is a quotation from Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra). This opening aphorism confronts us with the multiplicity of meanings that the ascetic ideal has for different groups: (a) artists, (b) philosophers, (c) women, (d) physiological casualties, (e) priests, and (f) saints. The ascetic ideal, we may thus surmise, means very little in itself, other than as a compensation for humanity's need to have some goal or other. As Nietzsche puts it, man "will rather will nothingness than not will".

Synopsis: In a universe where cultivators ascend beyond mortality, defy the heavens, and reshape reality itself, Li Tian, a mere orphan with no background, no talent, and no destiny, is fated to be nothing more than a stepping stone for the so-called "geniuses" of his world. But fate is shattered the moment he awakens the Primordial Dao Seed, an existence beyond the comprehension of gods and immortals alike. With this, he embarks on a path no being has ever walked before—the path to becoming the Supreme Dao, the ultimate force that governs all of existence. As he cultivates, surpassing realms that defy logic and ascending to heights beyond creation, the very fabric of the multiverse trembles at his rise. Ancient sects, celestial emperors, and forbidden entities lurking beyond reality itself all turn their eyes toward him—some seeking to guide him, others to destroy him before he claims the throne of existence itself. But for Li Tian, power is not enough. As he builds his legacy, gathers 100 peerless wives, and fathers a lineage that will outlast eternity, he realizes that true cultivation is not about reaching the peak—it is about understanding what lies beyond it. What happens when a man surpasses the heavens? What lies beyond the end of time? What is the true nature of existence itself? To answer these questions, Li Tian will not just cultivate—he will redefine reality itself. "To control the Dao is to control everything. But what happens when the Dao itself submits?" Thus begins the legend of the Supreme Dao, a being who will surpass all that has been, all that is, and all that ever will be. --- Themes & Highlights: Deep cultivation system with countless realms beyond mortal comprehension 100 peerless wives, each possessing godlike talents Children who will shape eternity Philosophical depth, exploring existence, time, fate, and the nature of reality Legendary battles that shatter dimensions Rivals, gods, and cosmic forces trying to stop his rise A journey beyond immortality—toward something far greater This is not just a cultivation novel.
