tragedy

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

In this world, reaching the highest tier of Heaven requires more than a single lifetime of virtue—it requires a mountain of Merits accumulated through endless cycles of reincarnation. For Mujun, this journey is a living nightmare. Unlike others, he remembers every detail of his past lives.

Desperate for a companion who understands his burden and tired of waiting for an enlightenment that never comes, Mujun makes a fateful choice. He decides to stop following the rules of Heaven and start writing his own—starting with the creation of a companion, no matter the cost to the innocent.

Five hundred years ago, the world broke. The sky split open. Gates tore through the heavens, and things that belonged in nightmares poured out — beasts that turned the Earth into an endless battlefield. Some people awakened to a strange force we call the System. We became Hunters. In this world, power is everything. Me? I was just a nobody — Rank G, living in the shadows. Then the day came I gained a skill. It wasn’t ordinary. Not even close. They said a rank like that didn’t exist. Rank SSS. A power that lets me see the future. But the problem wasn’t having the power… The first thing I saw when I used it was the end of the world. ... ... Discord: https://discord.gg/PJUqZuar

The Sword of Mountains and Rivers is an epic traditional martial-arts novel set in the Ming dynasty, where the martial world, old sect feuds, and hidden struggles of court and country converge. After a disastrous scheme sends the young Fang Yingjie of Fang Stronghold over a cliff and into disappearance, he is swept into a vast and deadly web spanning the Mount Hua Sect, Fang Stronghold, the Four Sacred Gates, the Crimson Flame Palace, and forces within the imperial court. What begins as a single misfortune soon opens onto a far greater mystery—one bound up with his father’s fate, his own origins, and a world already splintering beneath the weight of old grudges and buried designs. Frail and untested at the outset, Fang Yingjie is driven through exile, false accusation, captivity, hardship, training, and vengeance. In a world of bloodshed, loyalty, betrayal, and broken oaths, he must carve his way toward the truth, toward his own road in martial arts, and toward the strength to endure what fate has left him. Sweeping in scope yet intimate in its emotional force, the novel blends vendetta, political intrigue, hidden lineages, and the making of a hero. It tells of how a boy who begins with nothing but a broken life and a solitary body rises at last as the Golden-Armored Dragon, bringing light once more to the mountains and rivers. With its rich ensemble cast, austere moral grandeur, and a world shaped as much by human bonds as by the collapse of old alliances, The Sword of Mountains and Rivers offers both the fierce exhilaration of the martial world and the tragic recoil of destiny.

# Synopsis A lost soul is summoned into a dying body in a world he doesn't know, handed a mission he didn't ask for, and given nothing else. No guidance. No allies. No explanation. Just a dying wish, a system nobody else can see, and a world where gods hold the kind of power that makes men disappear for even thinking about challenging them. He moves carefully, and with the help of someone, he kills the Sun God. He survives it barely, and that's when everything gets complicated. Now heaven wants him dead. The Church wants him erased. And somewhere on the road ahead, there are more gods on his list that won't kill themselves. But here's what he didn't plan for. Every god he kills leaves something behind, a woman the world had already written off. Blamed, branded, abandoned by the very divine powers that were supposed to protect them. One by one, they find him, or he finds them, and one by one, they fall in beside him for their own reasons. He's building a harem of villainesses without trying to. And every single one of them is more dangerous than the last. The quest isn't finished, but heaven is getting closer. The gods on his list are getting stronger, and the women around him are becoming something he can't afford to lose. Will he complete what he was sent here to do — or will Heaven take everything before he gets the chance? Discord group link: https://discord.gg/V9ffCDcvdF

Suho has always lived between two worlds. One shaped by legacy, pride, and expectations he never chose, and another shaped by a heart that feels too deeply for the life he is meant to lead. He is cold, silent, charming, and smart when it comes to business. But he is gentle by nature, emotionally deep, and quietly devoted when it comes to his love. But love was never allowed to be part of his carefully arranged world. It was always meant to be negotiated, controlled, and contained. At this point in his life, Yerin is his everything. His first love, his only love. He is willing to go to any length to keep her, even when his family repeatedly refuses to accept her. Torn between a heart that refuses to let go and a lineage that demands an heir to carry the Kim legacy, Suho takes a decisive step, trying to hold on to Yerin without disappointing the family that expects obedience and continuity from him. Then Hauen enters his life. Not through affection, but through a contract. Chosen not as a partner, but as a solution, Hauen becomes his wife in a marriage built for convenience. An agreement meant to secure an heir and protect the Kim family’s legacy. In return, Hauen enters this marriage to save her father’s bankrupt business. She is warm and gentle, yet guarded. Strong in quiet ways, carrying her own unspoken burdens. To the world, their marriage looks flawless. Polite smiles, perfect appearances, a union without cracks. To them, it is nothing more than a carefully written business contract, set to end after eighteen months. But life has little patience for plans built without truth. In the midst of calculated decisions and emotional restraint, fate pushes Suho into the lowest point of his life, breaking him in ways he never expected. Stripped of control, certainty, and pride, he is forced to confront the parts of himself he has never imagined. At his most fragile moment, the question is no longer about legacy or contracts. It's about Who will stay when everything collapses? Who will stand beside him when life is hard for him? And when life offers both unbearable loss and unexpected grace, will Suho have the courage to accept them? This is a story of love that begins as an obligation, fractures under destiny's test, and slowly transforms into something honest, real, and beautiful.
