Upon opening his eyes, there before him was a bridal chamber adorned with red candles and windows.

A bride dressed in a phoenix coronet and robes of rank sat upright on the nuptial bed, her face covered by a red bridal veil.

Zhao Rong rubbed his sleepy eyes, “Have I become a groom? Oh, and a junior one at that.”

Understood.

His facial expression brewed for a moment before he twisted his mouth into a smile, “Wait a second...”

Huh, something's amiss.

The bride is my childhood sweetheart who also harbored a crush on me?

Oh, then that's alright.

This is very fitting.

Zhao Rong stepped forward, happily lifting the red bridal veil, “Hey hey, my lady, where are you running off to?”

Jiangli went into seclusion one day, and when she emerged, it had already been 800 years. When she opened her eyes, she found that the world had completely changed.

The money and the quadrangle courtyard she had hoarded were gone, replaced by a huge debt.

And a silly disciple.

Jiangli could only tearfully roll up her sleeves and pick up her old trade.

Gradually, people soon discovered that the Taoist Temple, which was on the verge of bankruptcy and demolition, suddenly started prospering again, with big shots seeking help one after another.

Famous movie stars, trending idols, company CEOs, celebrities from all walks of life: “Tycoon, save me!”

However, no one noticed that the revered tycoon they spoke of was addicted to live streaming.

Yet in the tycoon's live stream channel, there was always a patron dominating the leaderboard.

Everyone was speculating about the identity of this lavish mystery patron.

During one incident, Jiangli said in a live stream: Thanks to my husband...

Fans: Shocked!!! The tycoon's husband has been revealed!!!

After transmigration, Lin Yue could hear a voice whispering in his ear every day, sharing all sorts of secrets with him.

Small matters like the thoughts of the girl next door, to great mysteries like the secrets of the heavens, the voice persisted daily, broadcasting randomly.

He originally wanted to live an unremarkable life, but in this world of Xianxia dynasties where mortals are considered as insignificant as weeds, the fate of an ordinary man without power is no longer in his own hands.

Thus, he had no choice but to stop being 'just a person'.

'Your Majesty the Empress, you wouldn't want your secret of treason to be revealed by others, right?'

Pablo Castillo was the worst, the evilest, the biggest criminal in the whole world. He was the ominous figure known as Criminal X.

It’s a name that sends shivers down the spines of those who utter it. His past, a mysterious enigma, shrouded in darkness, only adds to the legend of the world’s most notorious criminal.

However, Pablo’s reign of heinous crimes comes to an abrupt end when a specially trained military force, an elite group made especially to capture Pablo, finally apprehended him.

The capture of Criminal X sent shockwaves around nations, for this man had defied all laws and moral boundaries. The world watched as he was brought to the highest court to face the consequences of a lifetime of malevolence.

The International Court of Justice, in a bid to administer justice that matches the magnitude of his crimes, bestowed upon him the most excruciating execution ever conceived.

The world erupted in celebration as news of his demise spread like wildfire. An international holiday was declared, a day of liberation from the tyranny of Pablo Castillo. The day was named with triumphant fervor. They all called it—World Independence Day.

Pablo Castillo was a man so evil that even the kindest of Gods couldn’t find pity for him.

But… Some Gods needed that man. That too, Desperately.

‘I am an Eldritch entity?’

Eryndor found himself questioning his existence after an accident which tested the limits of human endurance.

His sealed consciousness burst open, expanding and covering the entirety of the Earth before receding abruptly.

Subconscious use of Telekinesis controlled the stones to protect him as the overload of mind reading the entire population of Earth burdened his mind.

Eldritch entities were one of the few Anomalies which had characteristics such as immense consciousness, Mind Reading, and Telekinesis.

They were categorized as the strongest beings of the Main Universe.

This world had Anomalies all along, with secret organizations placed everywhere to combat them.

Was he one of the Anomalies sealed by them in the past?

In response, humanity united under the Human Federation to combat Anomalies and repel the Outer Domain forces.

******

Watch as Eryndor uses both the power of Chaos - Eldritch Entities and Order - 8 different power systems of all the Eight Outer Domains, to rise through the numerous Realms and become the strongest Entity.

On the brink of death, he awakened the Draconic Pets Evolution System—a power that doesn’t just tame beasts but binds them to his very soul. With it, mere monsters become apex predators.

And Ryuk? He is their master.

But power alone is not enough.

He is a fusion of the most hated and the most divine—A being that should not exist.

The abyss whispers. The dragons call. And when he rises—none will be spared.

This is the Tale of the Abyssbourne Draconis!

The latest novel by the author of 'When Cats Own Superpower'.

----------------------------------------------

A star shot through the sky, it also shot through the tranquility of the world.

Supernatural powers descended upon Earth. Who watches in the dark? Who mutters in my ear?

When my growl shatters the sky, when my power tramples the abyss, when I govern all that is living and dead...they shall call me-- God.

Lilian laid on his deathbed, his life nearing its end.

Surrounded by the cold quiet of a hospital room, he had spent his last months immersed in novels on his phone.

One novel, in particular, had captured his heart, and he yearned to finish it before succumbing to his incurable disease.

But as the end drew near, he realized he couldn't access the final volume.

Helplessly, he regretted the opportunities he had missed in life.

And death had finally come knocking.

“If only there were another world... that could offer me a second chance,” He whispered.

“If only I could live a second life... in a time when I had listened.”

The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope.

Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation.

He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun.

However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging?

Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others?

The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments.

Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it.

Note: English is not my first language and the cover image is not mine.

Octavius, misled by friends, embarks on a quest to clear his father's name, ultimately facing a tragic end with his sister.

Their journey results in devastating loss, leaving him powerless and yearning for revenge against those who harmed his family.

Spirits offer him a chance to reincarnate, but he refuses, saying;

“What’s the point of a new life if I keep running from my problems”

The entities are taken aback by his unwavering decision, having never encountered a spirit who refuses to escape their troubled past. They warn him about the evil being that now resides in his old body, but that only motivates him. He believed In the saying - to defeat a monster, you have to be twice as monstrous.

Embracing his fate as The Phantom's Gambit, they traverse the shadowy path of retribution, their identities blur, secrets unravel, and the line between savior and monster fades.

This is a tale of darkness and redemption, where justice is a blade, and revenge is the only way forward.

In a not-so-distant future, Earth is thrown into chaos by a weird alien ship that crashes and starts leaking spiritual energy all over the place. This energy messes with the planet’s ecosystem, making everything mutate—animals, plants, even people. It’s like nature’s gone wild, with some folks getting crazy supernatural powers while others struggle to survive against mutated creatures and power-hungry groups trying to take control.

In the middle of all this craziness, Amira Hailen—a tough-as-nails ex-special forces assassin with a complicated past—gets a second shot at life. Thanks to a mysterious ally’s Mental Transference powers, she’s sent back in time, waking up with the ability to control ice. Determined to keep humanity afloat, she gathers her old crew and turns them into a reliable team amid all the chaos.

Meanwhile, Aiden Emberstorm—a fiery elite operative—gets fed up with the government’s weak response to the crisis. With his own fire powers blazing, he ditches the bureaucracy and teams up with his battalion to protect innocent lives. He becomes a symbol of resistance, taking on mutated beasts and rogue factions while trying to restore some order.

When Amira and Aiden cross paths, it’s not exactly love at first sight. Their icy and fiery personalities clash, but they can’t deny the need to join forces. They both want the same thing: a sanctuary where survivors can be safe. So, they decide to work together, hatching a plan to take down the alien ship before it can call in reinforcements for a full-scale invasion.

Amid epic battles, unexpected alliances, and a budding romance, Amira and Aiden must face both their inner demons and the alien threat. It’s a fight for survival in a world that’s gone wild, with everything at stake—including their own hearts.

“She was a demon to begin with, how could she possibly be corrupted by encountering me, a human? Critics always talk about ludicrous things.”

In 1798, during an interview with the press, Cardinal Bishop Lanci was asked about his past with the exiled last princess of the Demon Race, as well as recent signs of the resurrection of the demons. He stated:

“I have made too many efforts to defend world peace, I am quite sure, there is absolutely no possibility for the Demon Race to revive under her leadership.”

......

In the winter of 1802, the revival of the Demon Race succeeded.

[Based on the above information, please indicate who is the main culprit leading to the revival of the Demon Race, and explain why it is Lanci. (10 points)]

John has been reading [The Legend of Divine Twig] for years, but at the end, the author rushes through it, leaving him with a bad taste in his mouth. He furiously contacts the author, stating he could have done better.

To his surprise, the Author replied to him with one word

Bet

John has been plucked from his room into the world of the divine and wretches. He enjoys reading the novel but he wouldn't want to be in it. The world is full of hotel knights, priest, mysticism and worst of all eldritch horror.

Chen Xi looks at the soldier who just threw a rock weighing a few hundred kilograms away and looks at the sky speechlessly. Is this really the late Eastern Han Dynasty?

It doesn't make sense to see Lu Bu single-handedly cut through the ten-thousand-strong cavalry.

Zhao Zilong ends up truly possessed by a dragon soul. Is he really human?

Dian Wei single-handedly defends Cao Cao as they storm out of the enemy camp and slaughters a few thousand cavalry of the enemy. His combat strength is off the charts!

Is there something wrong? Chen Xi touches a goose feather fan and fans it. A strong gale blows and he sighs.“This must be some mythical story, right? Even I'm not normal anymore.”
