Swallowing The Heavens

The Cube That Swallowed Stars

Ha-eun, a jaded physics student drowning in debt and familial guilt, stumbles upon an antique shop that shouldn’t exist. There, she buys a mysterious cube—a relic that hums with the resonance of dead stars. Ignoring the owner’s cryptic warning (“Some truths dissolve the soul”), she touches it… and is torn into a liminal hell between dimensions. Trapped in a realm where time fractures, Ha-eun witnesses agonizing echoes of her life: her mother pleading with police, her father weeping at a makeshift shrine, and versions of herself thriving in happier timelines. But this purgatory is no passive prison. Hostile entities, born from swallowed civilizations and lost travelers, hunt her. To survive, she fights, adapts… and mutates. Millennia pass. Her skin hardens into a galaxy-veined carapace. Her hair bleaches white as forgotten constellations. The cube’s power sustains her, but each transformation erases another memory—her childhood, her name, the sound of her brother’s laugh. When she discovers other trapped souls, including a charming, half-mad alien warrior and a spectral version of the antique dealer himself, Ha-eun faces an impossible choice: Escape by damning another to take her place. Or ascend as the cube’s eternal guardian—a cosmic deity stripped of everything human. But as she uncovers the cube’s true purpose—a device forged to devour dying universes—Ha-eun realizes her survival could doom countless realities. Including her own.

Guardian Of The Five Heavens

10 or more updates every week. "Guardian of the Five Heavens" Li Wei was an ordinary, orphaned young man in the modern world, his life a monotonous cycle of work and escapism through the fantastical tales of online cultivation novels. Yearning for a life less ordinary, he found his wish unexpectedly granted in the most literal sense – a blinding flash of light later, he found himself transmigrated to a perilous cultivation world. Awakening in a dense forest with no memory of his arrival and no clear path forward, Li Wei is met with a cold, mechanical voice in his mind – the activation of a "Tiny Task System." Unlike the legendary systems of other transmigrators, Li Wei's is laughably weak, offering minuscule rewards for the most mundane actions. To make matters worse, he quickly realizes he is utterly alone in this dangerous new reality, his past life as an orphan only amplifying his sense of isolation. Faced with the daunting prospect of survival in a world teeming with powerful cultivators, mythical beasts, and ancient dangers, Li Wei is presented with a unique opportunity by his system: three unconventional paths to power, tailored to his "unlucky" circumstances. Choosing the most perilous option, he opts to follow cryptic clues provided by the system, embarking on a mysterious and often perilous journey filled with hidden treasures, forgotten martial arts, and the whispers of ancient secrets. As he navigates the treacherous landscapes of the cultivation world, Li Wei's path takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a group of five young girls, all orphans like himself, who are in dire straits. Driven by a deep-seated empathy and a desire for connection, Li Wei takes them under his wing. He soon discovers that these girls possess extraordinary, innate talents – a stark contrast to his own seemingly ordinary beginnings. With a newfound purpose, Li Wei's ambitions shift. He resolves not only to survive but to protect and empower these girls. His ultimate goal becomes clear: to cultivate them to the pinnacle of power, to the level of Gods, and to build a "Heavenly Land" empire where they can stand together, forever safe and by his side. "Guardian of the Five Heavens" follows Li Wei's arduous journey as he, armed with a seemingly useless system and a burning desire to protect his found family, navigates the treacherous world of cultivation. He must overcome his own limitations, decipher the cryptic guidance of his system, and face powerful rivals and ancient dangers, all while striving to nurture the extraordinary potential of his five young charges and build a legacy that will last for eternity. It is a tale of a seemingly ordinary individual rising against the odds, finding purpose in protecting others, and forging a unique path to power in a world where strength and destiny are often intertwined.
