In the boundless continent of Eryndor, Heaven does not judge by talent, blood, or effort—only by luck. Every soul is painted with a color of fate: black for the forgotten mortals, white for those clinging to faint hope, crimson and red for the promising few, blazing orange for the chosen ones, and legendary blue for sovereigns who can rewrite nations. Cultivation is the art of harmonizing with this painted destiny—through virtue that grants swift breakthroughs and effortless duels, or through sin that drags every step into torment. To rise is to master luck itself. Bayley Lone begins as nothing: an orphaned boy on a forgotten mountain, his family erased by betrayal and greed, his luck thread thin and fragile white. Yet when ancient secrets awaken within him—secrets of a sealed organ, a ruthless ceremony, and a foundation forged from forbidden herbs—he realizes one chilling truth: Heaven may paint fate, but the painter can be outplayed. Cold, calculating, and patient to the bone, Bayley descends from his isolated peak into the shadowed borderlands of the Trick Region. With nothing but a long-unpaid life-debt and an iron will, he infiltrates sects, navigates root clans, and carves a path through a world where allies become stepping stones, trust is a luxury, and every victory is paid in blood. In this dark xianxia of ambition and cunning, there are no righteous heroes and no merciful heavens—only survivors who learn to turn fragile white luck into something far deadlier. Will Bayley become another forgotten thread in Heaven’s tapestry… or will he tear the entire canvas apart? Cultivation World of Luck Synergy Ruthless progression. Calculated betrayal. Unyielding ambition. A gripping tale of a man who refuses to let fate decide his end.

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

ILLUSION FORMS — THE SAGA OF HIDDEN IDENTITY "Can a single thought become a death sentence? Can a spoken word reshape reality?" Legend speaks of an ancient era where power was so absolute that even a faint thought of betrayal or harm towards the Supreme beings resulted in instant death, regardless of distance. Their every word was an immutable law, and their 'Vows' were unbreakable chains of destiny. It is said that these terrifying powers were eventually bound within primordial Seals, for no mortal vessel could ever contain such a devastating cosmic weight without shattering. But where those powers went remains the world's greatest mystery. In a modern era dominated by vampires and shadows, three strangers find themselves entangled in a fate they cannot comprehend: The Silent Mask: A child who survives behind a fragile veil of innocence. Trusting no one and relying only on himself, he is a master of manipulation, subtly controlling the minds and circumstances of those around him for his own protection. He is the quiet storm that no one sees coming. The Invisible Pull: A youth with defiant eyes and unwavering confidence. He is haunted by an unexplainable magnetic pull toward people he has never met, as if his very soul is searching for its missing fragments. The Stern Shell: A ruthless protector who has turned his heart into stone to shield his own. Wary of outsiders and fiercely loyal, he guards his secrets with a cold, lethal precision. As the ancient Seals begin to crack, a terrifying question arises: Are these three merely victims of fate, or are they the very catastrophe the world tried to lock away? "A true ruler does not need a blade to conquer. He only needs to speak—and the world shall kneel."

They whisper of the Gate as creation’s most bountiful grace, yet none dare question the exorbitant toll it exacts in return. Nixxin stands among the exceptionally rare Gateborn—those prodigies who awaken the arcane threshold before their fifth year of life. From the very dawn of his consciousness, adversity has remained his most faithful companion. He has witnessed the tragic fading of those he cherished most, endured the cruel chains of captivity, walked the razor's edge of mortality, and suffered the unyielding malice of countless alien civilizations. All of this he bore simply for being a child of the void—a wanderer born amidst the distant stars, where his mortal lineage was denied the sanctuary of a terrestrial home. Yet, his spirit refused to yield to stagnation. He forged his inner luminescence into a beacon of hope, soaring above the celestial domains of the gods to ascend the ultimate peak, transmuting into the very archetype of angelic grace that the cosmos yearned to emulate. Enshrouded in the fathomless obsidian of an infinite expanse, he emerged as a solitary illumination toward which the lost gravitated. The more intensely he blazed, the heavier the burdens entrusted to his care. To the desperate souls whispering prayers for deliverance, he was an ethereal messenger of salvation, laboring tirelessly in the service of the divine. He became the very embodiment of divine weariness—the exhaustion of God incarnate. Yet, as he gazes upon the tapestry of existence, he realizes a profound truth: to suffer for the sake of mortal morality is an irrationality of the highest order. #goated#fightslop#amazingpowersystem#suckworldbuilding#greatplot#goatedauthor

In the vast expanse of the Andromeda galaxy, an alternate Earth spun on its axis, scarred by the fires of the Fourth World War. Every nation had poured its strength into the conflict, and every nation had broken. Militia status was stripped from them all in the aftermath, their armies dissolved under the weight of mutual ruin. For reasons lost to the chaos of those final days, the planet itself was renamed Planet Vaelion. From the ashes, the world was restructured. The land divided into nine continents. The old countries retained their names and borders, their cultures and peoples, yet true political power shifted upward. Sovereignty now rested with the continents themselves. Only nine militaries remained in command, each overseeing vast territories. No single country held its own forces. The old flags still flew, but the chains of command answered to continental authority. Two thousand years passed. It was now 2000 Aww4 — two millennia After the Fourth World War. The scars of that ancient cataclysm had faded into history, myth, and uneasy peace. On Planet Vaelion, amid the rebuilt continents and lingering shadows of the old order, the story of Akshat Aether began. The purge was coming. And with it, everything would change once more.

In a forgotten ancient era, in a world where the sun had set and a new era had begun, Kanami found himself amidst the chaos, struggling for true survival in the face of all difficulties and dangers while trying to find himself.

The morgue is a place of silence, protocol, and the cold reality of death-the perfect sanctuary for Ash. As a forensic assistant with a penchant for heavy metal and a "wake-and-bake" morning routine, Ash finds comfort in the clinical detachment of the autopsy suite. She's used to the coppery tang of old blood and the hiss of negative pressure vents. But when Jane Doe 7 arrives on her table-a victim of manual strangulation-the silence of the morgue begins to feel like a threat. What starts as a morbid curiosity turns into a living nightmare when Ash realizes she isn't alone among the dead. A shadow is watching from the corners of the lab, a predator who knows her name, her habits, and the intimate details of her life outside the hospital walls. From chilling phone calls whispered in German to "gifts" left in her locked apartment and car-an antique silver thimble and surveillance photos of her most vulnerable moments-the "Narr" (the Fool) is playing a calculated game. He isn't just a killer; he's an insider with admin-level access, turning Ash's workplace into his own personal observation deck. As the line between the hunter and the hunted blurs, Ash must use her forensic training to process the living instead of the dead. With her two best friends, Leo and Chloe, caught in the crosshairs, Ash digs into the "Unlisted Inventory"-a trail of forgotten women that the system has discarded, but the Narr has claimed. In a world of woven filigree and formaldehyde, Ash must find the man behind the mask before she becomes the final item in his macabre inventory. Because in this game, the Narr is writing the script-and he's decided that Ash is the leading lady.

Amid sweet words and gentle reassurances, Enseria is hailed as a land of brilliance—a sacred realm, admired for its beauty and progress, as if it had stepped out from the reels of a perfect film. From birth to adolescence, every child is shaped beneath the same mold. The adults preach that if all seeds are sown in the same field, and nurtured in the same way, they will grow into strong stalks—ready to be harvested as refined and worthy grain. But those who refuse to conform… begin to harden in silence. Beneath the polished shell of genius and order, at the very base of that perfect pyramid, lie secrets—filthy, repugnant, and buried deep. When these vile truths are unearthed, lead will whisper through the air, laced with the scent of gunpowder, of blood, and tears long stained beneath layers of lies. And now, those seeds of difference, scattered and suppressed, await the one who dares to transform the field into a land—a place where every seed has the right to grow in its own way. *If you read this book and are confused, you are not alone, me too. °^°* (Sorry if some of the grammar is wrong or looks strange. my english is pretty bad ^Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò^) **Note: I haven't posted much ch for weeks.
