Ascension of the Everbound

*Ascension of the Everbound* When strangers from countless worlds awaken on a vast, fractured plain beneath a sunless sky, none of them are given answers—only a distant, broken Gate rising against the horizon. Beyond it lies the **Vast Ascent**: a towering sequence of layered realms governed by Trials, contracts, and unseen laws that reward power and punish hesitation. To climb is to survive. To survive is to change. Every climber manifests a **Binding**—a dangerous pact with forces that grant power at a cost. Strength is earned through **Resonance**, but every use leaves scars in the form of **Echo Debt**: lost memories, damaged bodies, shortened lives. Death is permanent. Loss is common. And the system watching them is neither kind nor just. At the center of this convergence is **Caelum Ashborne**, a quiet anomaly who possesses no obvious power—yet alters the flow of every group he walks among. Unbeknownst to him, his presence stabilizes others, amplifies growth, and subtly bends Trials themselves. He is not a chosen hero, but a **catalyst**—a living threshold the Ascent does not fully understand. As alliances form and fracture, climbers pursue their own ambitions: vengeance, redemption, truth, escape. Some rise together. Others walk alone. Many vanish entirely. Across hundreds of Layers, wars are fought, civilizations discovered and destroyed, and former climbers return as something far more dangerous than monsters. Gradually, a deeper truth emerges: the Vast Ascent is not a path to divinity, but a failing containment system—one designed to regulate an infinite force threatening reality itself. And the higher one climbs, the clearer it becomes that reaching the “top” may demand the end of the system altogether. **Ascension of the Everbound** is a long-form epic fantasy of adventure, exploration, and consequence—where progress always has a price, side characters carry their own destinies, and the greatest power is not domination, but connection.

Reincarnated as a Novel’s Villain: Creator of Curses and Blessings

A mere reader reincarnated as a lowly villain in the novel… all because of committing blasphemy. The Nameless God had cursed him… combined with the weak and vicious body into this new life. Was there even a chance to survive? The dead flag would strike just a week after he arrived in this world. That was right—he had to steal a cheat… a cheat from the MC. [You have received a curse from Nameless God] [Blasphemer's Burden] [Description]: You are an insolent one who has committed blasphemy against the Nameless God… This bloodline bears an unforgettable sin, one that always draws all kinds of fated troubles to you without any logical reason. [You have received the two blessings of the Demon God] [Divine Mimicry] Description: You can copy the blessings and curses of anyone in the world. However, this blessing itself has an arrogant nature. You cannot copy blessings or curses that are similar abilities whose tier is lower than what you already possess. Furthermore, you must first prove your strength… the power of a blasphemer of gods. Defeat them—or kill them. [Divine Transmutation] [Description]: You can craft a new blessing or curse by sacrificing two blessings or curses of equal level and similar type.. However, it was just a beginning of him...the fate of a mighty godslayer Author's note: MC is a sly, smart, and firm person. Of course, he’s not perfect—he still makes some mistakes—but I make sure they don’t cause any annoyance to readers. Side characters? Sure, they will have some depth. Harem? Don’t worry. The MC is not a simp, and his girls are not stupid either. They build real connections; I don’t just throw girls in and call them his wives. Fighting? A lot… but it leans more toward tactics than just fighting over who has the better cheat. The pace of the first ~20 chapters is quite fast, but don’t worry, it will slow down later.
