cultivation

the world of Xuanluo, power is everything. Only those who can cultivate their body soul and spirit can survive the deadly trials of life and death. Lin Kairu, a reckless but gifted young disciple has always lived in the shadow of mediocrity until a near fatal encounter awakens a mysterious Soul Flame within him, granting him extraordinary power. With it, he can sense, manipulate, and unleash forces far beyond a normal cultivator’s reach. But true power comes at a price. Haunted by visions of the future hunted by Outerverse beings and tested by cruel and merciless masters Lin Kairu must break every limit survive every danger and awaken abilities that even the Celestial Realm fears. As he ascends he will discover that cultivation is not just a pursuit of strength but a battle with fate itself. Every choice every fight every heartbeat could bring him closer to ultimate transcendence or to eternal oblivion. The path of the Soul Flame is a path of fire. Only those who burn brighter than the universe can survive.

In the fog-shrouded streets of a world where steam and the supernatural intertwine, practitioners bind themselves to ancient powers called Daos. But some paths were meant to stay forgotten. Adrian Blackstar's mother dies suddenly. Three days later, he discovers her hidden research and accidentally completes a ritual that should have killed him. Instead, he binds to something the Tenebris Vigil cannot identify. They take him into custody, the very organisation his mother's notes had warned him about, and give him a choice: become an Initiate and hunt monsters, or die as a rogue practitioner. Adrian chooses survival. But in a world of secrets and lies, where his abilities grow in ways they shouldn't and shadows answer his call with disturbing eagerness, he begins to uncover the truth. They're watching. They're waiting. And they'll kill to keep certain secrets buried.

In a world ruled by ruthless sects, immortal cultivators, and hidden powers, Sung Jin Ezio is nothing — no bloodline, no destiny, no gifted cultivation body. After being abandoned and left broken, Ezio is drawn into the seductive underworld of the Casanova Sect, where cultivation is not about swords… but about desire, illusion, and secrets. Behind the velvet curtains of the Velvet Pavilion — a forbidden nightclub where nobles and sect disciples lose their masks — Ezio learns how to read emotions, steal truths, and manipulate hearts. But when he steals forbidden teachings from the infamous Machiavelli Sect, Ezio gains a terrifying ability: to glimpse the future through probability and intent. Now caught between seduction and calculation, intimacy and power, Ezio walks a forbidden path where money, romance, and fate are all weapons. With a mysterious shadow named Lucifer whispering in his mind, and powerful women like the kitsune Kayra and the brilliant Machiavellian heiress Rosa drawing him deeper into their worlds, Ezio must rise from nothing — not through brute strength, but through strategy, secrets, and stolen futures. This is not the story of a chosen hero. This is the rise of a man who learns to own the world without ever being seen.

Cultivation is hard. Lying is free. Jiang Chen was scammed. He was promised the prestigious title of "Supreme Elder of Law Enforcement" by a mysterious Grandmaster. Instead, he inherited a broken shack, a mountain of debt, and a dying old man's confession: "We were banished from the great Mystic Cloud Sect! Unless you find three peerless geniuses to inherit the lineage, our seat is lost forever!" Stuck with a useless token and zero cultivation talent, Jiang Chen was ready to give up. That is, until the Falsehood Realization System awakened. [Rule 1: If the target believes your lie, it becomes the Truth.] [Rule 2: The more absurd the lie, the greater the reward.] Armed with a silver tongue and a thick face, Jiang Chen decides to scam his way back to the top. Disciple #1 (Ye Kai): A muscle-brained idiot rejected by every sect. Jiang Chen's Lie: "Doing 10,000 squats is the 'Ancient God Body' technique." Result: The kid actually awakens an Ancient God Body and punches a dragon to death. Disciple #2 (Su Ling): A paranoid girl who thinks the air is poisoned. Jiang Chen's Lie: "Your paranoia is actually the 'Dao of Reverse Causality'." Result: She accidentally trips an assassin into a lethal trap and thanks the Universe. Now, as the "Sect Leader" of the Fallen Star Sect, Jiang Chen must juggle his insane disciples, terrifying enemies, and his own lies. His goal? To march back to the Mystic Cloud Sect, slap the Elders who banished his master, and reclaim his rightful seat. He is the greatest genius in history... assuming he doesn't get exposed first.

Fang Yang transmigrated to the Legend of the Dragon King era of Douluo, awakening a Fire martial soul with Innate Full soul power! He'd expected to be reduced to a background character by the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings during this era of bloodline power. Unexpectedly, he gained the inheritance of twenty-three Heavenly Flames. From then on, he cultivated the Flame Mantra, devoured the Heavenly Flames, controlled life and death, and mastered reincarnation! Years later, awaiting Tang San's return, Fang Yang chuckled faintly: "It's simple. I'll become the Flame Emperor!"

In the Greatsburg Empire, a civilization where neon-lit slums layer beneath floating sect palaces and magi-tech skyscrapers pierce qi-clouded skies, your Awakened Rank is your permanent caste. For the transmigrated Jack Milstrom, a public F-Rank with "Crafting Affinity," the system has rendered its verdict: a life as a cog in the world's lowest stratum. But this world is a syncretic mystery—a forced fusion of ancient magic, ascendant cultivation, and relentless technology, built upon secrets of a thousand-year war that still bleeds into other dimensions. Here, true power isn't merely the flash of an S-Rank talent; it's understanding the deep, interlocking code of reality itself. While prodigies are groomed for glory in the spires and soldiers are churned out for the endless frontlines, Jack discovers a different path. His power lies not in breaking the system head-on, but in quiet subversion through synthesis. In a society obsessed with the grade you're born with, he will learn, adapt, and build. His is a craftsman's meticulous counterattack: to forge the tools that reshape the very rules meant to bind him. https://buymeacoffee.com/jc_eleven [If you only like it]

The ancestors of the Dai family had decreed that the first three soul rings of the White Tiger Soul must be identical for the best combination! However, Dai Chengfeng refused to configure his soul skill according to the ancestral regulations. The White Tiger belongs to metal and is a master of slaughter. What on earth is this White Tiger Guardian Barrier? As a result, the Emperor of Star Luo banished Dai Chengfeng in anger, ordered the Zhu family to cancel the marriage engagement, and prepared to temper Dai Chengfeng's arrogance. Years later. Upon meeting Dai Chengfeng again, Dai Mubai was surprised to find that his younger brother not only did not become useless due to absorbing the wrong soul ring, but his White Tiger Spirit was worlds apart from his own! ... Dai Mubai: "We both have the White Tiger Soul, but compared with Dai Chengfeng, why does my soul seem more like a house cat?!" Tang San: "Even my Blue Silver Emperor instinctively fears Dai Chengfeng's soul? You call this a White Tiger?" Asura God: "Oh no! His murderous aura is even thicker than mine, the Asura God. Is he targeting me?!" Star Luo Emperor: "Well, does Chengfeng know his mistake now?" "Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Chengfeng has already become a god!" Emperor of Star Luo: "???." Dai Chengfeng: I am the White Emperor! The Holy Spirit of Heaven! The ominous god, governing all killings under heaven, and also the master of innate Ultimate Metal! THIS IS A TRANSLATION.

Lemmy Wink, a naked, winged fairy and sworn Solo-Hunter of the Heartland Continent, races across hundreds of miles under a hunter’s moon after sensing a violent disturbance in the mystic glades—one of the most vital and sacred regions of her world. Gifted with hypersensitive antennae and guided by duty to her king, Lemmy serves as a hidden guardian of nature, moving freely through the wilds with unmatched speed and instinct. As she reaches the glade, Lemmy feels the dense concentration of mana—the living byproduct of the continent’s life force—resonating with her own semi-dormant Core of Power. Like all fairies of her race, Lemmy was born with a latent core that can only be awakened through dangerous, fate-guided trials. The number of trials required determines a fairy’s ultimate potential, and Lemmy senses she is nearing a critical threshold in her own awakening. Her first trial is revealed in flashback: an unexpected encounter while feeding among moon-lilies, where Lemmy is ensnared by an intelligent, enchanted vine. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a deeply destabilizing experience, overwhelming her senses and triggering her first uncontrolled mana flare. The snare proves less like a mindless trap and more like a deliberate test—one that drains her strength and binds her completely. The true architect of the trial soon appears: a mysterious human woman of immense presence and unsettling intent. Viewing Lemmy not as prey but as a long-awaited key, the woman claims the fairy and carries her away to a secluded cabin, speaking cryptically of an imminent “breakthrough.” As Lemmy is taken from the glade, she realizes her trial is far from over—and that her capture may be directly tied to the awakening of her core and the path she is destined to walk.

In the Eternal Empire of Yamato, a legend begins atop the sacred peaks of Mount Haguro. After a miraculous ten-year pregnancy that defied the laws of nature, Lady Shizuka of the prestigious Ryuzaki Clan finally goes into labor as the heavens themselves react with thunder and the scent of ancient incense. Born with a cry like a silver bell and eyes filled with the light of distant stars, the infant Haruto is revealed to be no ordinary child. His arrival triggers the manifestation of the Seals of the World—ten translucent, golden shackles designed by the heavens to suppress a power too vast for the mortal plane to contain. In a display of peerless spiritual will, Haruto shatters all ten shackles, transforming them into golden petals and releasing a pillar of light that pierces the firmament. This awakening summons the Ten Thousand Kami—including jade dragons and multi-tailed Kitsune—who descend from the spirit realms to bow in unison to the newborn. As the Ryuzaki Clan watches in awe, it becomes clear that the era of a new living legend has begun.

Orion Stone was broken long before he ever killed. From childhood, he learned how to wear a mask - how to smile, speak, and live among others while hiding what lay beneath. Behind that mask was a man obsessed with death, drawn to it from both sides of the table. By day, he was a respected doctor. By night, a meticulous serial killer. For years, he lived freely. Untouchable. Until Detective Granger ended his game. Exposed to the world, stripped of his false identity, Orion was swiftly processed and sentenced to death. The lethal injection claimed his life… ...or so it should have. Death was only the beginning. Orion awakens in another world - one ruled by a volatile energy called ether, where strength decides everything and mercy is a weakness. Born into the powerful Varyn family as the son of an unofficial third wife, he is shunned, ignored, and cast aside from birth. But he is not powerless. His rebirth is marked by the awakening of the Eyes of Dominion - mysterious golden eyes that grant him control over people, ether, and reality itself. Eyes that bend wills. Eyes that command submission. Eyes that should not exist. In a world as cruel and unforgiving as this one, Orion thrives after refinding himself. As shadows move within his own family and greater forces stir beyond it, Orion must grow stronger in secrecy, manipulating allies and enemies alike. Step by step, from the bottom of the hierarchy to its very peak, he will carve his path. With the Eyes of Dominion watching over the world… It is only a matter of time before the world kneels. P.S. This is my WSA 2026 Entry - all support with powerstones and reviews is appreciated :)

What would you do if you were granted the power to turn back time every time you died? Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation. Powerless to change his fate, he was killed. But that was not the end for Louis Drakeheart. Upon death, he awakened the power of Death Loop, allowing him to return to the past after dying. At last, he possessed the ability to reshape his life, one death at a time. Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness. This is the story of Louis Drakeheart and his journey through madness and enlightenment as he claims his true title: the Heir of Ruin, the Bringer of the End. And... of her, the one that accompanied him through countless regressions, the only witness of all his sacrifices. Also known as "Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince". What to Expect: -A death loop where the main character returns to fixed points in time after each death, retaining all the power he has built up. -Deep world-building and a vibrant, living world that feels alive and immersive. -A unique power system: the Spiral of Madness/Incarnation inspired by Lord of the Mysteries Sequences and Metaphor Refantazio Archetype System. -Powerful, near impossible to defeat antagonists that will force the MC to accumulate strength across multiple lives to finally defeat them. -Strong focus on weapon techniques, cultivation, magic, and familiar bonding. -A romantic subplot that develops across multiple lives. -Dungeon crawling combined with fast-paced progression. -Countless mysteries, multiple worlds to explore, kingdom building (later down the line), and much more. -High stakes and emotional storytelling mixed with great side characters. -No harem. Release schedule: 7 chapters per week or more. Discord: https://discord.gg/y3MSJxX5RG
