Michael didn't want to die. After a lost battle with cancer, he'd lived what many would call a full life — but it wasn't enough. He wanted more time with his wife, his kids, his grandkids. When he found himself drawn toward the light, he fought his way away from it.
Unfortunately, that didn't take him back to the life he wanted. Reincarnated in another world, Michael is forced to become a Penitent — a soldier in the country he was reborn into — in order to pay a debt to society for taking the life of the child whose body he now inhabits.
It's not the life he wants, but it's the only one he has.

By altering the reincarnation process to retain his memories, he wakes in the body of Eli, a recently-murdered orphan. With a portion of his death magic and vast mana intact, he takes the first step: become a Healer and enroll in the Holy Academy of the Church of Life — the very organization that killed him — while hiding his true identity and dealing with bandits, monsters, and the mysterious Avatars of Death.
His final goal: transcend the power of gods and escape his inevitable fate.

Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and mocked as a waste. When his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter those expectations.
Exploring strange realms full of danger, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and treasures stolen from advanced civilizations. But mastering alchemy, outmaneuvering scheming Great Houses, and surviving invading gods will test whether a so-called waste can truly reach the stars.
Heaven has been abandoned. The Kingdom has fallen into disrepair. Prayers are going unanswered. An eldritch being named Irene — her true name too dangerous to speak — and her sisters intend to fix it.
To do so, they need a Warlock. Caspar Cartwright is a hapless hedge mage saved from the scaffold and sent back to the living with Irene's power at his fingertips and a mission branded into his heart: face the servants of the dead god, find the key, and open the gate to the Kingdom.

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.

Living in a world of cultivators is like walking on the edge of a knife. Su Fang arrives completely unprepared, knowing nothing and lacking any skills — destined, by all accounts, to die.
Fortunately, Su Fang is immortal. Not because he cannot die, but because when he does, he un-dies. His System returns him to the start of his journey after each death, rewarding credits he can spend on anything — but only enough to return him to the point where he fell. To advance further, he must rely on himself alone.
A story that is equal parts time loop and xianxia, with a focus on cultivating the self as much as cultivating power. Not about saving the world — about living life in an unfamiliar place where everyone seems to want you dead or enslaved.
