The Immortal Commoner: Sowing Chaos

After getting hit by a truck and transmigrating to a cultivation world, Chen Feng finds he has no talent for martial arts or qi cultivation. Despite practicing for years, he remains stuck at the lowest levels. When Chen Feng falls off a cliff one day but miraculously survives unscathed, he realizes he is an immortal who cannot die. Keeping his special status secret, Chen Feng begins subtly testing the limits of his immortality. As time passes, he starts stealing cultivation resources from sects and clans, relying on his inability to die to evade traps and guards. Chen Feng establishes a hidden cave as his base of operations, filled with a priceless hoard of manuals, artifacts and pills gathered over decades. Chen Feng then takes on the persona of a mysterious prophet, giving cryptic foretelling of coming change to cultivation sects. He selectively leaks low-level cultivation knowledge to commoners, while evading investigations from major sects. Conflict brews as a result of Chen Feng's interference. Through his machinations as the immortal trickster, Chen Feng becomes an unseen chaotic force in the cultivation world. Eventually, Chen Feng's presence becomes too disruptive for the sects to tolerate. They band together, racing to uncover Chen Feng's true identity and motives while also contending with the increasing unrest among commoners. Chen Feng continues to evade capture despite the sects hunting him with all their might. His immortal status offers him limitless time to continue sowing chaos across the cultivation world.

War Scars

The drums of war beat a relentless rhythm, echoing across the land and shaping the destinies of three individuals bound together by conflict yet driven by vastly different motivations. Their interwoven and complex stories paint a stark portrait of the human cost of war, shifting perspectives to reveal the brutal truths hidden beneath banners and battle cries. First, we meet Lairia Lights, a 20-year-old knight, the shining beacon of her kingdom. Her name, ironically, reflects the deceptive nature of her reality. Lairia is celebrated as a hero, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and strength. But beneath the polished armor and skilled swordsmanship lies a pawn. Her unwavering devotion to the crown makes her easily manipulated, a weapon wielded by those who prioritize power over principle. She believes in the righteousness of her kingdom’s cause, blindly charging into battles fueled by propaganda and a naive belief in honor. Her narrative is a cautionary tale of blind loyalty. Then there is Aaron Rodgers, an 18-year-old warrior consumed by the fires of revenge. Marked by his race and ostracized by prejudice, Aaron has known hardship since birth. The war has taken everything from him, leaving a burning desire to avenge the injustices inflicted upon his people. Unlike Lairia, Aaron sees the cracks in the kingdom’s facade. He understands the war not as a glorious crusade, but as a brutal land grab fueled by greed and power. His motivations are raw and visceral; he fights not for ideals, but for survival and retribution. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Finally, we encounter Clayton Danks, a 37-year-old veteran warrior, a ghost haunted by the specters of his past. Clayton has seen too much, done too much. The war has stripped him of his innocence, leaving him burdened by the weight of his past mistakes. More profoundly, the war has cost him his family, the loss of his daughter a constant, agonizing reminder of the price of conflict. He grapples with PTSD, struggling to reconcile the man he once was with the broken individual he has become. Clayton’s story serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of war, the invisible wounds that fester long after the battles have ended. He represents the forgotten casualties, the veterans left to silently battle their demons while the world moves on. As the war intensifies, the paths of Lairia, Aaron, and Clayton are destined to intersect. Will Lairia’s blind loyalty finally be shattered, forcing her to confront the true nature of her kingdom? Can Aaron find solace beyond revenge, or will his thirst for retribution consume him? And will Clayton ever find peace, or is he doomed to forever wander the desolate landscape of his past?
