Tale of an Ordinary Cultivator

Sweating_Cloud
An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

BEYOND IMMORTALS

THE GAME OF ASCENSION (Phase I — The Pikra War) The world was never ruled by kings. It was ruled by players. Two figures move civilizations like pieces on a cosmic chessboard: The Misunderstood Revolutionary. The Exiled Prodigy. And humanity is caught between them. What begins through the eyes of an ordinary side character slowly unfolds into a war spanning factions, dimensions, forgotten histories, and godlike beings known as the Asuras — ancient enemies of the Devas who once shook existence itself. At the center of it all stands one monster among men: Kae The man called the smartest human alive. The Seventh Asura Community Ruler. The greatest disciple of the legendary Gomo Taka. A being so terrifyingly gifted that he was considered worthy of leading the Immortalus Society at the age of fifty — a position even prodigies spend centuries chasing. But genius alone does not create monsters. Kae controls civilizations from the shadows, raising kingdoms and destroying nations for a single purpose: To ensure he always has enough pawns. To some, he is a savior. To others, the greatest threat in history. And the worst part? He might actually be right. As wars intensify and truths begin collapsing, one realization becomes unavoidable: The Pikra War was never the end. It was merely the opening move. --- What to Expect Multiple protagonists and shifting POVs Psychological warfare and political manipulation Cosmic power systems and ancient factions Morally grey characters Mastermind vs mastermind conflicts Large-scale wars and strategic battles Long-term mysteries and foreshadowing Villains who feel terrifyingly human --- In this game, there are no heroes. Only players. And pieces waiting to realize they were never free. ---

The Retired Archmage who Became a Dragon Dad

Fifteen years ago, mysterious dungeons began appearing across Earth. Monsters poured out from unstable gates, forcing humanity into a desperate fight for survival. Some humans awakened supernatural abilities known as Resonance, becoming powerful individuals called Awakeners. Over time, humanity adapted to this new world. But three years ago, disaster struck. A massive monster outbreak erupted from a high-rank dungeon, unleashing creatures far beyond what hunters could handle. Entire cities were threatened, and humanity braced itself for catastrophe. Then suddenly… The outbreak stopped. The monsters vanished. The dungeon collapsed. And no one ever discovered why. To this day, the event remains one of the world’s greatest mysteries. The truth? It was stopped by a single man. Ren Arclight. A ridiculously powerful archmage who sealed the source of the outbreak—the Demon Queen—and then quietly retired from the hunter world. Now he lives alone in a small apartment, enjoying his peaceful life of watching old anime and avoiding anything that looks like responsibility. Unfortunately, peace didn’t last long. Because one day… Three mysterious eggs appeared at his door. They soon hatched into three dragon girls who immediately started calling him Dad. And just when things couldn’t get any worse… The Demon Queen shows up at his apartment. Angry. Weakened. And somehow stuck helping him take care of the kids. A lazy archmage. Three chaotic dragon daughters. And a very unwilling Demon Queen babysitter. Ren just wanted a quiet life. Instead, he became the Dragon Dad.
