Shattered Rings

On the Brahma Continent, power comes from Blood Rings the manifestation of cultivation that separates gods from livestock. Surya has none. Worse, he's human. A race so weak, so forgotten, that most people don't even know they exist. Captured. Caged. Sold to Rakshasa nobles as meat for their banquet, he should have died in chains like the others. But fever brought something impossible: memories of two lifetimes he never lived. A pharmaceutical empire on Earth. Advanced research in an alien civilization. Knowledge that shouldn't exist but might be the only reason he's still breathing. When an old man with shattered cultivation rings sacrifices everything to give him one chance at freedom, Surya learns the truth: the Blood Ring system isn't divine. It's designed. Controlled. And someone doesn't want the secrets getting out. Armed with scientific knowledge from two lifetimes and the teachings of a broken blacksmith, Surya must survive in a world that sees him as prey. But some chains are meant to be broken. And some rings can be shattered twice. --- What to Expect: - Weak to Strong Progression - Reincarnation/Multiple Lifetimes - Pharmaceutical/Alchemy with Science Base - Underdog MC in Hostile World - Cultivation System with Hidden Secrets - Blacksmithing & Crafting - Non-Human Races & Complex World - Strategic MC, Not OP (Yet) - Consistent Weekly Updates Warning: Contains slavery, violence, and dark themes.

The Abyss-Astra Primus

Humanity survived extinction—but survival came at a cost. As Earth drifts beneath the shadow of Astra Primus, humanity’s greatest spaceborne fortress and military academy, nineteen-year-old Heinrich Wynn begins his ascent into a war with the Apeps—fanatical, serpentine conquerors who worship annihilation—they once burned human worlds and slaughtered seventy percent of the population. Only ruthless innovation and uncompromising sacrifice halted their advance. Now, the Sol system stands divided, balanced on the edge of renewed war. Astra Primus is not merely a military academy. It’s a crucible. Forge by unforgiving military doctrine and ruthless tactics. Within its steel corridors and zero-gravity battlefields, recruits are stripped of weakness, tested beyond human limits, and forged into Voids—elite soldiers trained to fight but most will fail. Some will die. A few will endure long enough to become weapons for humanity. Heinrich enters the Academy with discipline, ambition, and a hunger sharpened by inherited trauma of his past as an orphan. Beneath his controlled exterior lies a dangerous duality: a genuine desire to protect humanity—and an equally powerful drive for authority, legacy, and command. As brutal training escalates into live-fire exercises and political maneuvering, Heinrich is forced to confront the true cost of power and the moral weight of survival. Guided—and haunted—by veterans who have already sacrificed everything, Heinrich must decide what kind of soldier he will become. One who follows orders without question… or one willing to reshape the future at any cost. The Abyss: Astra Primus is a hard military science-fiction epic about war after survival, an academy that creates soldiers, and the thin line between protector and tyrant—set against the cold, merciless vacuum where humanity’s fate will be decided.
