Marauders shot Yuan in the head and buried him in a ditch. They thought it would be enough to put him down. They were wrong. Rising from the dead by the will of the Gun — demigod of revenge and firearms — Yuan has one goal: track down his murderers across the Unmade World and slaughter every last one of them. With the bullet-core stuck in his skull marking him as a Gunsoul, he can finally teach these arrogant cultivators a lesson they'll never forget. But revenge isn't easily claimed. To carve out a path through the wasteland, Yuan must face power-hungry sects, nuclear cultivators, and weapon-gods. No one will bury him again.

Orange-crest is a monkey with simple desires: warm summer days lazing with his siblings, sampling the variety of fruit and grubs Mount Yuelu provides. Unlike his brothers, he is endlessly curious — and no subject arouses that curiosity more than the mysteries of fermentation. One fateful night, he finds himself enjoying an experimental brew far more potent than usual. Daoist Scouring Medicine is a man disgraced, caught between his uncompromising vision for pill refining and the politics of a world that discards its ideals the moment they stand in the way of profit. He wanders the slopes of an unfamiliar mountain, hitting the gourd harder than any self-respecting daoist should. From a pair of poorly considered drunken decisions, a sequence of events is set into motion that will one day shake the very heavens.

For ten years, Huan Yue has lived a quiet life, serving tea and hiding from the world of god-like cultivators who shattered her family for a petty slight. All she wants is to remain invisible. But on the morning she turns twenty, a mysterious cultivator hunts her down and murders her — and then she awakens in her bed at the start of the very same day, trapped in a waking nightmare. Hunted by a team of relentless and seemingly invincible assassins, Yue discovers that within her curse lies a weapon. If she cannot escape as a mortal, she will become something more. With each death, terror fades and is replaced by burning rage. Forced to walk the path of the very people she despises, she will use the endless cycle to forge her spirit and sharpen her skills. Her hunters believe she is an insignificant pest to be exterminated. They don't realize they've given their victim the one thing she needs to claim her revenge: time.

The saying goes that when a man is born, the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. When he dies, that swaddle becomes his shroud. Heaven moves on. To question the Fates is audacity. To transgress the line of divinity, scale Olympus Mons, and defy the threads of destiny is hubris — a mark every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

His name is Eight. Not really, but that's what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall — and the gate guard drove him off, thinking he was a monster. Life's tough when you're an old man trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. But there's sixty-four years of hard-won wisdom inside that small frame, and Eight will use every bit of it to survive.

Once, Shen Bu destroyed everything his father had ever worked for — burning the new home to ashes, consuming his mother's cultivation, and slaying the unborn daughter within her. Three hundred years later, Shen Yu is still searching for anything to save that daughter's life, crippled and hidden in a realm where time is slowed to preserve her. No progress has been made. Feeling the weight of his quest, he returns to the city of his birth to drown his sorrows — and meets a boy who finally gives him hope. Waking up in the body of an eight-year-old kid dying of plague in a xianxia setting was not anyone's idea of a good time. The new inhabitant lacks a cheat or a system, but a chance meeting with an unremarkable middle-aged man who likes talking about medicine may prove more valuable than it seems.

On mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy. When Earth is suddenly attacked and its natural laws begin to change, Max gets a new opportunity to reclaim some of his lost power — and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path. The universe is far larger than he ever knew, and the drive to excel has never left him.

Leif Vin is mortally wounded and left for dead at the conclusion of a devastating battle. As dawn breaks, opportunistic creatures stalk the aftermath of bloody conflict — and one such being, an entity of twisted and blighted wood, implants his dying body with the parasitic seed of a carnivorous plant.

When the primal need to reclaim his lost humanity uproots him, he embarks on an era-spanning journey that will change both him and the world forever. The story explores what it means to be forcibly altered against one's will, and the consequences of that change — alongside animal companions, kingdom building, heavy world-building, and a subplot about the origin of the system itself.

Alex was willing to do anything to survive terminal cancer — even have his mind uploaded into a digital universe of countless worlds while his body waited for a cure.

The choices he makes from that moment will have profound consequences — for him and for an entire realm. Alex faces bloodthirsty pirates, ruthless cultivators, and fearsome demigods as he takes his first steps on a path that might one day forge him into a cultivator powerful enough to challenge the heavens.

It takes more than just talent to reach the heavens — more than an accident of birth or a flash of fortune. It is a long, arduous journey that comes with many costs.

A gradual xianxia cultivation story with a clearly defined power system, sects, martial arts, and an expansive original setting drawing on more than just typical xianxia influences.

Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, the created universes will be able to interact with each other — and be at the mercy of the Void. One of those souls finds the work of a deity far from easy. Between raising up gods to defend the realm, guiding mortals, accidentally creating a xianxia world, and dealing with divine children, there is always more to be done. Now it's clear why gods on Earth worked in mysterious, invisible ways: there's simply too much to be done.

An Arthurian legend, Fae lore, and cultivation mash-up. Taliesin had one plan: escape the Harkley family, dodge their blood curse, and live a quiet life far from trouble. What he got instead was death (briefly), an arranged marriage gone wrong (knives were involved), and a volatile new power — the dreaded death glamour.

But political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and a Divine Cultivator conspiracy all come calling. Set in a Europe-based cultivation world where Ki is Glamour and connected to the Fae realm, the story follows a competent but decidedly non-overpowered MC whose progression stems from effort, reflection, and the occasional death.

Hong Fei wanted to disappear. Instead, he must become the shield between a falling house and those who would devour it — while behind the political schemes and assassination attempts, someone is stealing fate itself.
