Lord of Crimson Madness

Darkbluemoon
London, 1878. Beneath a shroud of gray fog, a young aristocrat awakens in a lavish bedchamber with no memory of how he arrived there. Only a phantom pain remains, throbbing in his neck as though an unseen blade had once passed dangerously close to his throat. His name is Elias Montagu. His servants call him the Duke of Manchester. They dress him in silk, fasten his insignia, and prepare him for a crucial session in the House of Lords. There is only one problem. Elias remembers none of it. And the throne belongs to King George V. Something is wrong with London. Cathedrals rise above the city, devoted to forgotten gods whose names seem to shift from tongue to tongue: Senaiy, Uire, Siny, Urey, Senry, Ueis. Their scriptures contradict one another, yet their followers worship with absolute devotion. Their stone idols possess no faces that Elias can recognize, only hollow eyes that seem to follow him long after he has turned away. The moon hangs unnaturally low over the city, stained crimson against a sky that feels far too vast. Big Ben stretches impossibly high above the rooftops, its distant chimes carrying a hollow note that leaves Elias with the uneasy certainty that he has heard them before. Then the memories begin. Not memories of this world. Ruined cities beneath unfamiliar skies. Machines powered by a force Elias cannot name. Towers collapsing beneath a darkness without stars. And, buried among these fragments, the image of a colossal crimson eye staring directly into his own. Something is watching him. Something that may have been waiting for him long before he was born. As Elias moves through gilded ballrooms, secret societies, and corridors where servants whisper of things they refuse to name, he begins to question the identity everyone insists belongs to him. The more he remembers, the less certain the world becomes. In a world built upon forgotten truths, those who seek clarity are not called prophets, scholars, or kings. They are called madmen. And among them, one title is spoken only in a whisper. The Duke of Madness.

Myriad Heavens: Rise of the Rune God

Myriad Heavens: Rise of the Rune God - Synopsis "I dodged Truck-kun with a parkour backflip. That should've been the end of it." After evading certain death with sick moves, genius programmer Runar thought he was safe—until the truck transformed into a freaking autobot and apologized for having to kill him anyway. "I just graduated from Truck Reincarnation Academy! I can't fail my first mission! My classmate will mock me." Now reborn on Telstra, a world where cultivation meets sci-fi, Runar discovers the ultimate cheat code: runes are the programming language of reality itself. While everyone else grinds through cultivation realms, he's copying physique runes, optimizing techniques, and debugging the universe. But in a cosmos where aliens hunt humans, ancient supremes have left for realms beyond, and power is everything—staying low-key might be harder than he thought. One day, he'll find that desperate truck and give it the beating it deserves. I CAN COPY TALENTS FROM MYSELF ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE - SYNOPSIS Ash awakened His Boundless Origin Martial Soul.

From those parallel selves, he could permanently copy any talent, skill, knowledge, or ability they possessed. No talent? Copy a supreme one. No skill? Copy it. Failing exams? Copy the knowledge of a scholarly genius. Stuck in cultivation? Copy the comprehension of a parallel self who already solved it. There are Various versions of himself out there. One was a peerless martial god who dominated the galaxy. One was a cold scientific monster who rewrote the laws of the world. One was a Taoist immortal who walked alone above the heavens. One was a carpenter who reached the peak through pure craft. One was a general who never lost a war. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of his Martial Soul abilty. In a world that measures everything by talent rank, Ash Apeiron starts at the very bottom.

More Cultivation paths will be added in the future, like Mage path, Curse Path, Soul Path, Puppet Path. Also, I mainly write comprehension novels. I believe knowledge is power. So, most of my main characters in my novels are always book smart. Consider supporting me on https://ko-fi.com/sorion Or donating on Paypal to [email protected]. Don't send me weird emails
