Gu reborn

Synopsis for "Gu Reborn In a world where immortality is carved from the corpses of the weak and the cunning, gu insects—mystical creatures born of heaven and earth—grant power to those ruthless enough to tame them. Once, he was the Demon Sovereign, master of countless forbidden gu paths, wielder of the legendary Spring Autumn Cicada that allowed him to turn back the wheel of time itself. He stood at the threshold of eternal life, only to be betrayed by every ally, ambushed by every sect, and torn apart in a cataclysmic war that scattered his soul across the ages. Now, five hundred years later, a fragment of that indomitable will awakens inside the broken body of Lin Xuan—a nameless orphan, low-grade aptitude, destined to die forgotten in the Whispering Bamboo Forest. He opens his eyes once more. This time, there will be no misplaced trust. No unnecessary mercy. No grand declarations of destiny. Only cold calculation, endless schemes, and the unyielding pursuit of absolute power. With each refined gu, each broken enemy, each stolen opportunity, he rebuilds what was lost—stronger, darker, more terrifying than before. The righteous path fears him. The demonic path envies him. The heavens themselves will learn to dread the return of the one who refuses to die. In this cruel cultivation world where talent means nothing and survival means everything… He was born again not to redeem the world, but to devour it. Gu Reborn. The path to immortality begins with betrayal—and ends with supremacy.

The Extra's Law

Being the only person in his world who can see the Aurora Borealis phenomenon that constantly adorns the sky, Nathan never imagined that he would enter his own half-finished novel titled "Endless Cataclysm." Yet, he now inhabits the body of someone named Adrian Hale, without understanding why he exists there, as he never wrote such a character. Nevertheless, he enjoys his new life by pretending to be Adrian Hale and receiving love from his family. Until he finally realizes that the place he currently inhabits is destined to be destroyed without a single soul left alive. Destroyed by what? Killed by whom? Nathan does not know, because it was a Plot Hole in his novel that he left unresolved. But that is what is written in his novel, and it will inevitably happen in some form because the World of his novel will not remain idle, ignoring that Plot Hole or its logical flaws. He has witnessed firsthand how the world logically filled in all the deficiencies present in his novel when it became reality. So, what will the world create to rectify the Plot Hole of his death and the inevitable demise of millions of human lives? That is a threat he, as the author, had never anticipated before. His knowledge of the Plot is also useless because he is far removed from the Protagonist, from the main story of his novel. The only encounter between them would be if he manages to overcome that Threat, or if the Protagonist finds his corpse. Nathan is also continually startled by the world of his novel and the humans within it, who create things that surpass his imagination as its author. He is a powerless God, overwhelmed by his own creation that has transcended him. (The pacing is slow at the beginning due to the character development and workbuilding. If you want fast-paced action at the beginning, sorry, this isn't for you.)

Fragments in the Wall

When humanity faces extinction, what breaks first? our bodies, or our humanity? How much of ourselves are we willing to lose to stay alive? In 2104, The world has already ended, but its consequences haven’t. In the OctaCore: the last of humanity's shelters, resources are limited and the radiation is rising fast. Within two years, the surface will become unlivable. Long before that, the food will run out. The monsters that destroyed the world are still out there, but they’re no longer the worst threat. With the shelters on the brink, the council faces an impossible choice: Cull 80% of the population to preserve the remaining 20%, or Launch a suicidal mission into the wasteland to retrieve a supply shipment that could sustain humanity long enough to rebuild. A small team is chosen for the Hail Mary attempt. Memory-scarred survivors, soldiers who’ve already lost too much, and civilians carrying secrets they’d kill to protect—bound together by the thin hope that something out there might still be worth saving. Outside, they will face the world that once was: a ruined city haunted by monsters, nazis and the aftermath of choices no one wants to admit they made. What to Expect: 1. Morally questionable characters 2. No clear good or evil—only survival 3. Character-driven beginning → escalating high-stakes plot 4. Brutal worldbuilding 5. Mature themes (genocide, moral collapse, societal failure) 6. Gore, violent imagery, disturbing psychological content
