BEYOND THE CAGE OF HEAVEN

In a world where cultivation defines destiny, freedom is the rarest treasure of all. The world of Tianheng is vast, layered, and cruelly ordered. Mountains float above seas of clouds, ancient sects rule territories older than recorded history, and every living being exists within a rigid hierarchy dictated by cultivation realms. From mortals who struggle merely to survive, to immortals who shape continents with a thought, all are bound by one unspoken truth: no one escapes the Great Cycle. Birth, cultivation, ascension, decline, death—this is the law of Heaven, enforced by the world itself. To cultivate is to gain power, but also to step deeper into the cage. The story follows Lin Yuan, a boy born in a hospital and abandoned by his mother. He is not born with a rare constitution, divine bloodline, or heavenly destiny. His talent is mediocre, his background insignificant, and his future—according to the world—already written. He is meant to live, struggle, cultivate if lucky, and die like countless others before him. Yet from a young age, Lin Yuan senses something deeply wrong with the way the world functions. He notices it in the fear of cultivators who claim immortality yet tremble at the mention of tribulation. He sees it in sect elders who preach enlightenment but obsess over lifespan-extending pills. He hears it in legends of ancient immortals who “ascended,” only to vanish from history entirely. Power is celebrated, but freedom is never discussed. This unease becomes the seed of his journey. When a chance encounter pulls Lin Yuan into the world of cultivation, he initially walks the same path as everyone else, absorbing spiritual energy, refining his body, breaking through realms. But unlike his peers, he does not cultivate out of ambition or reverence for Heaven. He cultivates out of defiance. Each breakthrough feels less like progress and more like another shackle snapping into place. The higher he climbs, the more clearly he perceives the invisible walls surrounding the world

I Can Only Cultivate In A Game

In a world transformed by the arrival of mana, Earth is no longer the domain of humanity alone. Magical beasts and three powerful humanoid species have claimed vast territories, forcing humanity into fortified cities protected by mana-infused barriers. The hope for survival lies with the awakened: those blessed with magical classes and the ability to wield mana. Victor Revenant, a hilarious and self-deprecating 16-year-old, has spent his life dreaming of joining their ranks. But on the day of his Awakening Test, his dreams are shattered. Like countless others, he fails to awaken, destined to remain ordinary in a world where mediocrity means irrelevance. Just as Victor hits rock bottom, his father gifts him a VRMMORPG game, Ascendant Realms: Cultivation Chronicles, as a consolation prize. The game promises an immersive cultivation experience, complete with mystical techniques, powerful bloodlines, and the journey to ascend to godhood. But when Victor logs in as his in-game persona, Fang Chen, he discovers something incredible: the cultivation techniques he learns in the game begin to manifest in the real world. Armed with the Primordial Chaos Constitution and the legendary Void Emperor Bloodline, Victor embarks on a dual journey—mastering the game’s cultivation system while using his newfound abilities to change his fate in the real world. What begins as an escape from his failures turns into a chance to rewrite his destiny. But Victor quickly learns that his unique ability may make him more than just an anomaly... it may make him a target...

Weaves of Ashes

JAYDE Forged in the crucible of Xi Corporation’s labs, Jayde—once known only as SN1098—is a genetically engineered super soldier, her body honed to a razor's edge through decades of fighting humanity’s brutal wars. Her rebellion against her creators sparked a desperate battle for her people’s survival, only to end in betrayal and a fiery death on Crypso 3Q3U, her sacrifice shattering the corporate chains binding thousands of GESS lives. Yet death is not her end. Jayde awakens, impossibly, in the tortured body of a young girl on a strange world untouched by the technology she knew—no starships, no replicators, no blasters, only the primal pulse of magic. Bound to an ancient artifact pulsing with secrets, she must navigate a realm of powerful mages, mythical creatures, and lurking monsters, her old instincts clashing with the arcane forces now at her command. Her soul, scarred by battle and betrayal, carries a darkness that threatens to consume or redeem her as she carves a new path. REN Ren, the fierce demon king, stands as the last bulwark against his race’s extinction, his heart a furnace of primal fury. To save his people and halt the malevolent Zartonesh’s invasion of the realms, he must venture to the Lower Realm, where the Devil Wars first ignited. His fate entwines with a young woman—Jayde—whose soul, steeped in shadow, stirs the ancient beast within him. Her vast, untamed power could be the key to salvation or the doom of all he fights for, her presence a spark to his fire, a bond that could forge or shatter destinies. AN EPIC JOURNEY OF MAGIC AND REDEMPTION Jayde trades her blaster for a sword, stepping alone into a universe where magic hums like a Centauri war-chant, guided only by a mysterious artifact that whispers of forgotten truths. She journeys across dimensions, learning the art of spellcraft, forging alliances with unlikely companions, and facing enemies born of myth and nightmare. As she grapples with the darkness within her soul—a remnant of her past life’s pain and betrayal—she searches for her true-mate, a bond that could anchor or unravel her. Will she master the magic of this strange world and rise as its savior, or will the shadows she carries bring ruin to all she holds dear? WARNING: This tale unfolds as a slow-burning romance, weaving love and loss through a tapestry of magic, sacrifice, and defiance, as Jayde’s legacy burns brighter than any star. Author’s Note Hi everyone! A small heads-up before you dive in: I’m a new novelist, still learning, experimenting, and growing with every chapter I write. My stories tend to be long-winded, slow-burning, and very descriptive — I love painting the scenes in my head as vividly as possible, so sometimes I linger a little too long on the details. These are epic-length novels, full of worldbuilding, lore, and character depth, and while I do my best, they’re not professionally edited (yet!). You may spot the occasional typo, pacing oddity, or overly dramatic flourish — but I promise every word is written with passion, care, and love for the world and characters. Thank you for giving my story a chance, and for walking this journey with me

A Boring Life of an Immortal God

"Should I destroy this world?” he asked, not with anger, but with the same energy as someone deciding whether to take a nap. “Master, please don’t,” his attendant replied, already exhausted by his god’s boredom. I am Lin Xuan a transmigrator who somehow ended up becoming an Immortal God. And honestly? It wasn’t as cool as I expected. I thought immortality meant absolute power, the ability to command life and death, reshape stars, and awe the heavens. But when I finally became an Immortal God… All I got was eternal boredom. No enemies strong enough to fight. No heavens brave enough to rebel. Even destroying worlds became a chore. Then one day, while wandering the mortal realms just to kill time, I saw him A weak young man being bullied. A sudden lucky encounter. A destiny aura so bright it hurt my divine eyes. I froze. “…Wait a second.” This scene felt way too familiar. Broken background. Mysterious inheritance. Heaven-defying luck. It was exactly like the protagonists from the novels I read in my previous life. A Protagonist Concept, the kind of person fate itself bends over backward to support. For the first time in countless eras, I felt something new. Amusement. What happens if an Immortal God who has read too many webnovels starts messing with a destined protagonist? Do I secretly help him? Steal his lucky chances? Or casually rewrite his plot out of boredom? After all If fate insists on following a script, Then I’ll be the author who adds the worst possible outcome.
