Dragon In The Modern Day

Modern World Cultivation

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.

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.

Waitress in the day, Vampire at night

*Excerpt* "Argh..." Ellie forced herself to stop moving, and she pushed the man dragging her away by her arm with all the strenght she could muster. "Aren't you listening to me? He's only a child. Please." she pleaded. The man was as solid as a concrete wall, and although he barely moved a step away despite the force she used in pushing him, her actions seemed to have made him stop dragging her. Or maybe not. Because the next second, she heard the sound of the sole of a shoe hit the ground, then another, and another... Turning around in apprehension, she realized the painter had finally turned from his painting and was walking toward her. Her bones froze instantly. His face... She had no words to describe how beautiful he was, even though his skin was almost white. His dark brown hair fell over his forehead, almost covering his dangerously cold dark grey eyes. His steps were slow and majestic, making him look like a top ranked demon walking out of hell with just one agenda — to end her miserable life. He reeked of bloodlust, and the aura around him radiated death and destruction. The hairs on her skin stood up in reaction to the threat approaching her, and knowing she couldn't outrun him, she fell on her knees. "P-please, I-im s-sorry for disturbing you a-and pushing him. My brother is only a child. He's sick and I'm the only one he has. If you must imprison me, then I beg you to at least take him to an orphanage." Ellie pleaded, stuttering for the first time in her life, her eyes fixed on the floor. A moment later, she felt a cold finger touch her chin, pushing her head. When that was done, he took off her mask, exposing her face. Ellie's heart was beating wildly by this time. There was no trace of warmth, neither did any emotion register on his face upon seeing her complete facial features. It was just plain, cold, blankness. "You are in no position to make demands." His lips finally moved, and the words that came out of his mouth crushed Ellie's heart. "It's not a demand. Just a request. I don't want him to die." She persisted. "What makes you think I would grant such a request?" "Because it's the right thing to do." Ellie gave the obvious answer, but his face twisted like she just spit poison at him. "Do I look like someone who gives a fuck about doing the right thing?" "No!" Ellie answered truthfully. "I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Saving my brother is not the right thing. It is the wrong thing. In fact, I can assure you it is the wrongest thing to do." She made a quick U-turn, and the painter's brows flew up in surprise for just a second, before his next order jumped out of his mouth. "Take her away." *** Life dealt Ellie Sander a cruel blow when her parents suddenly died in a car crash, leaving her to cater for her five year old anaemic brother, whose ability to walk was affected by the same crash. With no money, no stable job, and no help coming from anywhere, she was forced to take advantage of the insecurity in their town to fend for herself and her brother. Being a waitress in the day and a fake Vampire at night, she raised enough money and all went well until one night when she met with the real vampire, and her freedom was taken away.
