rebirth

A grief-stricken sadhu performs a forbidden yajna to bring his dead son back to life. The ritual succeeds—but not as intended. A single mistake shatters the boundary between life and death, allowing others to return as well, plunging the world into unseen chaos. While the son lives in innocence, unaware of the truth, the yogi bears the weight of his sin in silence. When the truth finally emerges, a choice must be made—can one life justify the suffering of many?

He died defending a world that wasn't ready. He woke up seven centuries earlier—in his sixteen-year-old body. Asuta Kirigaya has lived and died across 700 years of war. As the immortal kingdoms descended upon Earth, he became its last, desperate defender—and failed. His final memory is of a mountain peak stained with his blood, surrounded by the cultivators who hunted him across lifetimes. He opens his eyes in a high school classroom, to the sound of a teacher scolding him for falling asleep. The date is February 13, 2020. He has four years before history repeats itself. Four years before a wounded immortal from the Xi Kingdom crash-lands on Earth, bringing with him the dawn of cultivation—and an apocalypse that will drown the modern world in blood and spiritual fire. Armed with memories of techniques lost to time and a soul tempered in centuries of battle, Asuta holds one advantage: the Divine God Body Sutra, a forbidden scripture that builds a foundation capable of challenging gods. But in a world devoid of Qi, power must be clawed back from nothing—one purified muscle, one painstakingly crafted pill, one whispered secret at a time. As he navigates the fragile joys of a life he thought lost—his sharp-witted sister Ruri, his loyal friend Ken—shadowy organizations already sense the coming convergence. They hunt artifacts, hoard knowledge, and see Asuta not as a savior, but as a threat to be controlled or eliminated. Four years to rebuild a god's body. Four years to forge alliances in a world that doesn't believe. Four years to prevent the future he already lived. Time is the one enemy even an immortal can't outrun. --- OPTION 2: QUERY LETTER / LONGER SYNOPSIS (More detail, shows the full arc and emotional stakes) ETERNAL ASCENT is a 100,000-word progression fantasy / xianxia novel that blends the emotional weight and second-chance narrative of The Beginning After the End with the modern-day cultivation struggle of Cradle and the tactical preparation of All the Skills. Asuta Kirigaya died at the end of the world. After 700 years of cultivation and warfare, he fell as Earth’s last guardian against the invading immortal empires. He wakes up not in an afterlife, but in his sixteen-year-old body, seven centuries in the past—on a mundane Tuesday in 2020. He remembers everything: the cataclysm, the fall of nations, the death of his sister Ruri—the one loss that hollowed him across lifetimes. This time, he has four years to prepare for the arrival of the wounded Immortal from the Xi Kingdom, whose discovery of Earth will trigger both a spiritual awakening and an extinction-level event. But Asuta is no longer the powerful cultivator of his former life. In a world still barren of Qi, he must rebuild from absolute zero using the only advantage he has: the memory of the Divine God Body Sutra, a brutal, foundational path that forges a mortal body into a divine vessel through agony and discipline. His journey is one of grueling physical tempering, clandestine alchemy using trace energies in herbs, and navigating the delicate ecosystem of high school and family he’d mourned for centuries. Yet the past is not as silent as he hoped. Secret societies like the Elysian Foundation already scour the globe for emerging anomalies, and they take a keen interest in the suddenly insightful teenager with knowledge of “energetic cycles.” Asuta must balance saving his sister’s present while preparing for a war only he knows is coming, all as the cracks between worlds begin to show earlier than he remembered. ETERNAL ASCENT is the first book in a planned series that explores the cost of foreknowledge, the weight of a second chance, and what it truly means to protect a world when you are the only one who…

They called her the daughter of death, a deadly assassin whose name alone struck terror into the hearts of the powerful. When her own story ended in blood, she opened her eyes as Shen Yelan, the disgrace of the Shen family.

In her place is the cold, lethal soul of the legendary assassin. After a lifetime of killing, she craves only a peaceful, ordinary life. But first, she has one final mission: revenge.

There’s just one problem. For some reason, a certain second young master won’t leave her alone. Everyone in the city knows about Huo Ziyan.

When the day arrived that I was inexplicably subsumed into my own literary creation, the confrontation with mortality ceased to be a mere figment of imagination. Amidst an ideological war waged between wielders of divine providence and the guardians of humanity, I discovered that the most formidable adversary was not the antagonists of my own making, but rather my "former self"—a lingering shadow relentlessly tethering me to a predestined fate of my own authorship. In a world where the clock of cataclysm has commenced its countdown, and every character maneuvers according to schemes of impenetrable complexity, I am faced with a definitive choice: to perish alongside a decaying narrative, or to rise and obliterate my "original identity" in order to inscribe a new legend upon this collapsing world. everyday update

In the Chaos City of Nolan Continent, there's a peculiar restaurant. Here, elves have to share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden from making noise, dragons can only sit around the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... Yet, despite these bizarre rules, a long line forms outside the restaurant every day. Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver.

Reader discretion is advised.* My childhood was stolen by shadows, but I thought I’d finally found peace with my stepfamily—until the night monsters tore my world apart. As I lay dying on the cold asphalt, an Angel appeared with a cruel bargain: my soul for their lives. I didn't hesitate, signing the contract in my own blood.

My soul is sold, my heart is a ticking time bomb, and I must now decide if I can master my own human hunger to defeat an army of darkness, or if the price of being the Secret Admiral will finally consume me.

Additional tags: #urbanfantasy Notes: 1) Just to clarify, the characters are fantasy, but it's set in the modern world. Trying to cook up something a bit unique. 2) It's a sweet harem, but the main focus is the MC's growth and adapting to modern civilization, so I'll try not to toss in scenes randomly. I have to warn though, the system can be quite... unpredictable. 3) MC is OP (Insanely). But he's going to be nerfed for a few chapters. If you can't wait, then this probably ain't your cup of tea. But if you do, I promise it'll be worth it. 4) No Yaoi, no Yuri (ish), no NTR. 5) Start is a bit slow, but pace quickens later. Might slow again depending on the scene. I'll be updating this as more questions come, so stay tuned. If you enjoy the story, please support and leave a review and I promise to deliver bonus chapters and character art.
