Umburals Dark Fantasy • Sci-Fi Horror • Psychological Thriller In the year 2097, Earth was no longer stable. Its orbit had begun to decay—slowly, silently—dragged by the weakening gravitational tether to a massive, hidden planet that had circled the solar system for millennia. Scientists called it a phantom world, only visible during rare solar eclipses when its silhouette shimmered against the sun. Slightly smaller than Jupiter, its atmosphere resembled Earth’s, but its gravity was stronger, its terrain fractured into three colossal regions of jagged mountains, deep valleys, and broken lands. When a meteoroid threatened to shatter Earth’s crust, humanity launched its final exodus. Hyper-jump technology was still experimental, but there was no time left. Of the estimated 1.2 billion survivors, only 600 million made it through the jump. The rest were lost—burned in the atmosphere, scattered across space, or left behind. They crash-landed on the phantom planet. The locals were already watching. The Umburals—humanoid beings with elfin features, black eyes with white pupils, and bodies capable of reshaping flesh, bone, and blood—had evolved far beyond human understanding. Their cities shimmered with advanced magical technology: floating spires, crystalline data cores, and energy-forged weapons. Their society was ancient, structured, and deeply spiritual. They did not hunt the humans. They welcomed them. At first. The Umbural governors offered shelter, medicine, and integration. They taught humans how to survive the gravity, how to adapt their tech, how to breathe in a world that pulsed with arcane energy. But not all Umburals were the same. Beyond the central cities, other clans existed—wilder, stranger, shaped by different philosophies and powers. Some were territorial. Others were curious. A few were quietly hostile. And then came the conflict. Humanity, fractured and desperate, began to push back. They didn’t like the Umbural hierarchy. They didn’t trust the magic. They wanted control. Mankind’s old hunger—to dominate, to lead, to reshape the world in its image—resurfaced. Tensions rose. Trade broke. Skirmishes flared. Umbural governors pleaded for peace, but the damage was done. Some humans began weaponizing Umbural tech. Others tried to claim land from the outer clans. The planet, already unstable from Earth’s gravitational collapse, began to react. Now, the world teeters on the edge of a new war. Umburals walk among humans. Humans build weapons to match Umbural magic. The three fractured regions of the planet—each ruled by different forces—are stirring. And deep beneath the surface, something ancient begins to awaken. This is not a story of invasion. It’s a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of coexistence. Welcome to Diamond.

# Cultivation Through Desires ## Synopsis Marcus was a billionaire who had everything except what mattered. Money. Success. An empire built on code and logic. But no connection. No passion. No life beyond the screen. Then a black sphere tore through reality itself. One moment he stood on a luxury cruise near Dubai. The next he crashed onto an alien world where humans flew on swords and shattered mountains with their fists. Planet Tianxu. A world ruled by cultivation sects where power determined everything and the weak were crushed without mercy. Marcus should have died in the first week. Instead something ancient awakened within him. The Heavenly Kama Scripture. A sacred text from the God of Love and Kindness who once ruled the heavens before the cultivation sects erased his name from history. The ancient deity believed that true power came not from rejecting desire but from embracing it. From understanding the deepest yearnings of the heart and transforming them into unstoppable strength. Now Marcus carries this forbidden system. A cultivation path that grows stronger through connection. Through understanding. Through the very desires the orthodox sects consider weakness. But the cultivation world has rules written in blood. The sects that dominate Tianxu built their power on suppressing emotion and severing mortal attachments. They view the God of Love and Kindness as a heretic. His scripture as corruption. If they discover what Marcus carries they will hunt him to the ends of the world. Marcus must learn to survive in a realm where a single mistake means death. Where flying swordsmen patrol the skies and demonic beasts lurk in ancient forests. Where cultivators treat mortals like livestock and power is the only language anyone respects. He has no cultivation base. No allies. No understanding of the world's ruthless hierarchy. But he has something the cultivation world forgot. He understands desire. Ambition. The driving forces that make humans human. And in a world that demands you abandon your humanity to gain power Marcus will prove that the greatest strength comes from embracing what you are. The sects of Tianxu built their thrones on suppressing desire. Marcus will tear those thrones down by wielding it. --- **Genre:** Eastern Fantasy, Cultivation, System, Harem **Tags:** Transmigration, Weak to Strong, Cunning Protagonist, Ruthless Protagonist, Beautiful Female Lead, Ancient Gods, Forbidden Technique, Sect Politics,dual cultivation. **Warning:** This novel contains mature themes including violence and some lemons.

The Old World ended when humanity drilled too deep into the planet. By breaking the planet seal, the Domains from another dimension began to emerge. The Deep that destroys cities with a tsunami, the Shining that alters the skies, the Nightmare where terrible creatures rush out from; the chaos that makes every possibility happen at once, and the Abyss that erases everything that gets too close. The Domains connected with the people of Celestia, turning the girls into Witches. They became existences that could reshaped the world at the cost of going insane. In their rampage, they destroy the world and then began making a new one. In desperation, the last researchers of Ark-9 committed their last sin. They stole a soul from another world and then forced it into a new body to create the Chief. The Chief was made to suppress the Witches, to restore the world, and to be a weapon. The Chief was placed in a long sleep under a flooded city. Until finally the dying researchers awoke him for the mission, they have been preparing. The salvation of Celestia. “Fuck off.” Was what Aether said to all of them. “You bastards thought you could tear me from my world, and make me your obedient weapon?” Aether then laughed. “Those Witches you guys hate. I will not hunt them, chain them, force them, or use them as tools for your schemes. But instead, I will love them.” The Ark-9 Researchers erupted in rage. But he continued laughing without a care as their rage was music to his ears. “This is my script now.” The prison that held him shattered as their screams faded into silence. And he stepped into the new world with a smirk. “And I plan to make sure. No Witch escape my love.”

Drake Curtis is what the Japanese would call an Otaku. Red-haired, overweight, and socially invisible, he spends every waking moment worshiping 2D women and debating which anime girl deserves the title of “best waifu.” Real girls? No interest. Reality?

Power wears many faces. Some are crowned. Others are hidden behind masks. In a world where thrones are claimed through blood, silence, and betrayal, truth is the most dangerous weapon of all. Kingdoms are built on carefully buried lies, and history is written by those ruthless enough to survive it. The greatest threat is never the enemy who stands before you-but the power awakening within you, long denied and deliberately hidden. Loyalties fracture as ancient forces begin to stir. Old bonds, thought broken or forgotten, start to pull tight once more. Fate moves patiently through the shadows, watching, waiting, and shaping lives toward a reckoning that cannot be stopped. Every choice leaves a scar. Every secret demands a price. The Masked Throne is a tale of buried power and forbidden truths, of identities suppressed and destinies delayed-but never erased. As masks begin to crack and the past refuses to stay silent, the line between protector and destroyer blurs. What was once hidden begins to rise, and the world must face the consequences of what it tried to forget. Because some thrones are not taken by force. Some are claimed by blood. And some... awaken only when the mask finally falls. When the throne is revealed- who is truly meant to sit upon it?

The trail leads straight to the Curators—an elite cabal who believe the dollar must die so they can build a new, ironclad order. Their weapon? The Reset: a deliberate, engineered global crash.

Samantha Hale once lived an ordinary life in the human world, ordinarily except for the constant sense that she never truly belonged. Found as an abandoned infant near a forest border and raised by a loving human couple, she grew up blind to her origins yet strangely attuned to the unseen. Her senses were sharper than most; her instincts too accurate to ignore. But the truth behind her unusual existence remained hidden… until Morris found her. Morris was a werewolf, charming on the surface, dangerously obsessive beneath. He was fascinated by Samantha, drawn to something he couldn’t immediately define. When she resisted his advances and tried to escape his tightening grip, his obsession turned violent. The night she fled him changed her life forever. Morris, enraged that she would choose freedom over him, clawed out her eyes in the forest, claiming that if she couldn’t look at him with love, she shouldn’t look at anyone at all. Blinded, bleeding, and running on pure terror, Samantha stumbled deep into the forbidden wildland…the territory of the Alpha King of werewolves: Zoro Darkfang. Zoro was everything Morris wasn’t … powerful, calculating, feared yet fair. He carried the burden of leadership, haunted by a slow-burning war with Morris, his former beta turned traitor. When Samantha literally crashed into his life and arm… something ancient stirred inside him. He couldn’t ignore the instinctual pull he felt toward her. Yet he saw her as human and helpless, a fragile soul ruined by one of his own. His first instinct was to protect … and hide her. But soon, Zoro begins to realize Samantha isn’t helpless at all. Even without eyes, she sees things others can’t … whispers of magic, traces of aura, echoes of souls. She senses a darkness coming… and she feels it inside herself. The wolves around her react to her presence… not with pity, but awe. Her scent is royal. Her wounded face carries beneath the skin a faint shimmering mark, one Zoro recognizes from stories told only in secret: The Eclipse Wolf. A supernatural lineage believed extinct. A wolf that exists between light and shadow, life and death. Samantha is the last of them… the heir to a power great enough to either unite or destroy every pack on the continent. And both Zoro and Morris want her. Zoro, to protect her. Morris… to claim her. Morris is convinced that Samantha is his destined mate… not because of love, but because of ambition. If he owns the Eclipse Wolf, he owns fate itself. He launches relentless attacks on neighboring packs, killing dozens and leaving one survivor each time… always with the same message: “Bring me Samantha. Alone.” His dominance becomes a blood-written ultimatum. Samantha, meanwhile, battles fear, guilt, and a terrifying transformation inside her. As the Eclipse mark awakens, she experiences visions of a giant wolf woven from moonlight and darkness. She feels her body changing, senses sharpening, something monstrous and magnificent waiting beneath her grief. She hates what Morris did to her. She fears what she’s becoming. And yet, she needs answers. Zoro tries to help her control this new power, guiding her through the rage and shadows looming inside. Along the way, their connection deepens… from protector and victim to something undeniable. But love only intensifies the danger. Prophecies begin resurfacing: “When the Eclipse Wolf awakens, a king must fall.” Morris believes Zoro is that king. Zoro wonders if he might instead be destined to die by Samantha’s awakening hand. The climax erupts when Morris stages his deadliest attack yet, abducting innocent pack members and forcing Zoro’s warriors into slaughter. He sends a mangled survivor to deliver the final demand: “Samantha walks into my territory, or their blood never stops flowing.” Samantha refuses to let more lives be lost because of her. Despite Zoro’s furious objections, she makes her choice. She goes. Alone. Blind but guided by something older than eyesight, de
