Treasures of Heaven and Earth

Why is it, that no matter how many world shattering heroes rise and fall, no matter how many times a realm is said to be depleted of resources, a hero rises again - burning all the resources they find as they go? Another inheritance is always found, another spirit herb, magical artefact... and no one asks why they never seem to run out... ...what keeps creating all these fortunate encounters? Why? And what happens if it stops? --- Warning, this book is a slow burner - rather than a fast paced DBZ style novel --- AUTHORS UPDATE: --- First 30 (one-sixth of) existing chapters have now been edited and reuploaded. Very little has been changed plot or event wise. It's been grammar, clarity, pacing/smoothness, period accuracy, and detail/sense layering. --- Apologies to my Readers My life has gone completely insane since 2019. I am prepared to start again, but I'm going to be slowly posting revised and clean chapters first, taking down old chapters as the new edits completely replace them. Unfortunately, Webnovel doesn't alert to updates to old content. I'm managing a couple of chapters a week worth of editing. By the way, if anyone thinks AI can do the work of writing for you, I say that it's an invaluable editing tool and soundingboard - but I find it still takes three to four hours of rewriting and discussing with the AI to update each chapter to a state I'm happy with. The payoff is that the AI keeping track of the novel events, characters, plots and threads as I go; trying to keep all that straight and losing focus is a big part of what blocked me last time, so hopefully, once I get to new content things will flow smoothly. --- This work was written and revised by the author with the assistance of a trained AI editor. All final choices, worldbuilding, and character voices were shaped by the author’s intent and hand.

Zombie Apocalypse: I Have Safe Zone Superpower

The beginning of the apocalypse brought chaos and disaster to humanity. It tore away the mask of society and revealed the cruelty hiding beneath. Ivy Ravencroft experienced it all firsthand. Her family was unfair and cruel, and they abused her so badly that she went blind. Her lover died trying to protect her, and she spent the next five years struggling to survive, until she finally died in the apocalypse. But then, Ivy woke up again, reborn in the first year of the apocalypse. At first, she felt hopeless. If only she had returned to a time before the apocalypse, she could have gathered food, weapons, and supplies to survive better. Still, she was grateful for one thing: she had kept her special ability, the power to create safe zones. This time, Ivy made a promise. She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.

Death should have been the end. Instead, he awakens in another world.. at the very bottom. No class. No talent. No backing.

But power has a price, and the deeper he pushes, the clearer the truth becomes. The Abyss is stirring. Its worshippers move in secret, corrupting monsters, twisting humans, and preparing for the return of an Abyssal King long erased from history. Authorities deny it. The common folk fear it.

Man, Machine and Magic

In a universe where humanity spans countless star systems, power is no longer measured by wealth or rank, but by mastery over Ribbon Circuits, living threads of energy woven through flesh and machine. Kaelen, reincarnated from Earth, awakens in the Core, the political and military heart of civilization. Within him lies the encrypted legacy of the First Ribbon Scientist, the genius who fused cultivation with advanced technology. Unlike traditional warriors, Kaelen does not merely wield Ribbons. He engineers them. Clad in heavy crimson war armour threaded with luminous circuitry, he stands at the intersection of Man, Machine, and Magic. Beside him, though the galaxy knows her by another name, stands Seraphine Vale, the universe’s most celebrated stage goddess. Bathed in silver light, she commands billions with a microphone in hand. Yet beyond the stage, she is something far more dangerous: a strategic military commander whose voice can mobilize fleets as easily as it moves crowds. On stage, she shines like a celestial idol. On the battlefield, she is absolute. But beyond the mapped galaxies, the boundary of the universe is thinning. Ancient forces older than Ribbon, older than humanity, press silently against the veil. The ruling councils sense disturbances in the cosmic lattice, yet the truth remains buried. Higher beings are watching, and something is preparing to cross. As humanity celebrates its golden age of expansion, Kaelen’s engineered Ribbons begin reacting to signals that should not exist. The war for civilization has not yet begun. It is about to.

The Continent of Etho:Balancekeeper

Beneath the gilded glow of an Ethos sunset, Leon—once Leonard Ventura, a burnt-out Earth coder—sits motionless by a forest stream, his small body a prison for an adult soul. Reborn as a four-year-old orphan in Acorn Village, a humble settlement clinging to the edge of the Whispering Forest, he hides his clarity behind a veil of vacant stares. For weeks, he has pretended to be the "broken" child the villagers pity, silently absorbing every thread of this medieval world: the feudal chains of the Aurestia Empire, the scarcity of metal and magic, and the quiet fear in his adoptive mother Erika’s eyes—fear that her son will never truly awaken. But Leon is awake. And he is adapting. His former life’s greatest tools—programming logic, engineering ingenuity, a knack for pattern-solving—are not obsolete here. They are his secret weapon. In a world where survival depends on balance between land and forest, light and shadow, his Earth-born rationality becomes a bridge to Ethos’s hidden magic. When he crosses paths with Eldrin, a reclusive herbal mage fleeing the tyrannical Holy Light Church, Leon discovers his mind can decode runic systems like code, refine elemental salts like chemicals, and turn simple tools into instruments of survival. Yet peace is fragile. Acorn Village lies in Greyrock Territory, where Count Valerius monopolizes the sacred Salt Lake—source of both sustenance and magical stabilization—while the Church hunts "heretical" magic users like Eldrin. When shadow-tainted beasts from the Transverse Mountains’ sealed rift begin terrorizing the village, Leon’s charade collapses. Forced to reveal his brilliance to protect Erika and his new home, he becomes a target: the Church brands him a threat to their dogma, the Count sees him as a challenge to his power, and ancient forces stir, sensing a balance-shifter in their midst. To survive, Leon must forge unlikely alliances—with a skeptical Moonshade elf from the Whispering Forest, a gruff dwarf blacksmith guarding star-silver ore, and followers of the Nightveil Sect, unjustly accused of unleashing the shadow corruption. Together, they must unravel the Church’s lie: the Shadow Rift was not opened by heretics, but by the Church itself, in a greedy bid to monopolize light magic. Leon’s journey is one of reinvention. He must merge Earth’s logic with Ethos’s elemental laws to craft a new kind of magic—one that heals, unites, and restores balance. From a silent observer to a leader, from a stranger in a child’s body to the Balancekeeper Ethos needs, he will learn that power lies not in domination, but in harmony. In a world where gods play with fates and empires crumble over greed, Leon’s greatest magic is not spells or swords—it’s the courage to rewrite the rules. Will he bridge two worlds to save Ethos… or will the weight of his past and the chaos of his present consume him? *Balancekeeper of Ethos* weaves gritty survival, heartfelt family bonds, and epic fantasy into a tale where a coder’s wit outshines sorcery—and the unlikeliest hero becomes the world’s last hope.

Starbound: Chained across many lifetimes

Some loves are strong enough to defy the gods. Some curses are cruel enough to last forever. For over a thousand years, Giana has done the impossible: she has loved the same man across countless lifetimes, watching him die and be reborn again and again, never once remembering who she is—or who he once was. She was a mortal girl who dared to climb a sacred mountain and found a king. He was the Linchpin, the immortal guardian who held back the darkness between worlds. When he made her immortal to save her, the gods punished them both with a curse more devastating than death: he would be reborn endlessly, his memory wiped clean each time, while she would remain forever—the sole keeper of their love story, doomed to find him and lose him across eternity. Until now. Kaelen Vance is a billionaire CEO who has everything—wealth, power, a mind that has built an empire from nothing. But he has never been able to explain the nightmares that have haunted him since childhood: visions of mountains and snow, of a woman with ancient eyes reaching for him, of deaths that feel more real than his own life. When he walks into a coffee shop and locks eyes with a stranger across the room, his carefully ordered world shatters. She knows him. She has always known him. And for the first time in a thousand years, something in him knows her too. But their awakening has not gone unnoticed. The darkness the King once held at bay is stirring, drawn to the light of his returning power like moths to flame. Ancient evils are waking, drawn to the fracture in the curse—and they will stop at nothing to destroy the love that could undo them. Now Giana must help Kaelen remember who he truly is before the shadows consume them both. But the memories come with a cost: every lifetime he recalls brings with it the pain of every death, every goodbye, every moment she held his hand as he slipped away. And the man he has become—a logical, controlled, emotionally guarded CEO—must confront a truth more terrifying than any nightmare: that he is not who he thought he was, that he has loved this woman across centuries, and that the walls he built around his heart exist for a reason he could never have imagined. A love that outlasted the gods themselves. A curse designed to break them forever. A darkness that remembers what they have forgotten. They have found each other again. But in a world where memories are weapons and shadows are hungry, finding each other is only the beginning. The war for their love—and for the world itself—is just beginning. And this time, they will fight together. **Thank you for reading. Please rate if you like it, your rating would help me so much as a new writer**
