Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia

★ 4.72

Ya Boy

The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on.

It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads?

That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

[Updates Thursdays and Sundays.]

Reforged from Ruin [Eldritch Xianxia Cultivation]

★ 4.55

Silv3rtongue

[BOOK ONE STUBBED AND UNDER REVIEW! LINK INCOMING SHORTLY! SORRY FOR THE MIX-UP / DELAY!]

Raika used to be a Cultivator. She lived in a sect, fought in tournaments, and cultivated to spite the heavens, as a cultivator should. While she was never the strongest, fastest or wisest, she held it in her heart to never, ever give up, and to stand for her ideals.

And then an Imperial Cultivator destroyed her soul organs and left her crippled.

In a world with a sun made of flaming serpents, reality-defying entities running amok, and a timeless, all-knowing Emperor ruling all through the power of his Blades and the constant advances and experiments of his Divisions, Raika is less than worthless, unable to see and feel the blood of reality- but when it's surrender or madness, she chooses madness. Embarking on a new path, Raika will find strange secrets, hidden paths to transformation, and abandon humanity, sanity, and the rule of the Empire to become something far stranger and far more powerful than she ever thought possible.

In a world replete with enslaved Daemons used as WMDs, reality-bending powers, eldritch-punk technology, and strange pathways of cultivation and magic, she'll have to find allies, confront gods and monster, and defy the Heavens, her own body, and common sense to find a way to become something new. Facing a millenia-old Empire rife with corruption and unknown plans, impossible horrors from the edges of the world, Daemons, Witches, and her own broken soul, she won't stop until she's become truly free- but what will it cost, and can her insanity match the madness of the reality itself?

What to expect:
Slowburn power progression
Expansive worldbuilding and complex story
Weak to Extremely strong protagonist with a unique powerset
Complex villains and characters
A raging bisexual of a protagonist
Mutants, madness and mayhem, oh my!

This story is designed to add lovecraftian cosmic horror and weirdness to a Xianxia setting. If you like some biohorror, self-modification, well written violence and geopolitics under the eyes of ancient, alien beings, this is the one for you, darlings!

An Immortal’s Retirement: To Achieve Peace [Volume One Finished]

★ 4.55

Malaklein

Array King Dane has had enough of the cultivator's world. Fight, kill, grow stronger, and fight some more, that was their lifestyle. Cultivation was nothing more than the eternal rat race of immortals and everyone falls at one point or another. Eternity made any odds a guarantee given enough time, and Dane was quitting the game while he was still ahead.

And so he retires. No more fighting, no more killing, no more violence. He's chosen peace, but unfortunately, peace has to be protected.

"Hey, wait! I'm not a god, I'm just a guy who loves trash!"

Cultivation System: Elder Edition

★ 4.59

beddedOtaku

[Action + System + Comedy + MC teaches protagonist disciples + Isekai + Cultivation]

While I wondered why the fender of a nice Cooper was growing bigger, fate spun elsewhere, and I woke up in the body of an Elder in a world of cultivation!

And, of course, there's a system: one that allows me to create any martial art that I can imagine... provided I have enough Creation Points.

And my first disciple just so happens to be a reincarnated monster from 10,000 years ago with an incurable poison that I can cure with my custom creation?

Hey, this can be fun--nope, it's terrifying! The reputation of the guy I took over is just... it's the worst! Not only do I have to raise disciples to earn Creation Points to raise more disciples, I also have to rehabilitate the image that not even the best PR team on Earth could rehabilitate!

These really are some crappy starting circumstances...

Rise of the Archon

★ 4.56

Havoc1021

In the Kingdom of Ferris, mages are not born but made. Through the might of magic and arms, Ferris has grown to rule nearly the entire known world. Vayne was not intended to become anything more than an advisor to the nobility. His life was set, and he would live and die as a servant, never knowing anything else.

However, a vision of his future reveals the terrible truth. Vayne would grow to become the strongest mage of his time, only to fall in battle with strange invaders from beyond the impassible oceans.

Will Vayne follow his intended path, hoping to eke out a quiet life of servitude until his world ends? Will he follow his visions, fighting a hopeless battle? Or will he defy fate and forge himself into the greatest mage the world has ever seen?

A rewrite of my first story, with some pretty hefty storyline changes and improvements.

Gunsoul

★ 4.78

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

Gunsoul is now available for purchase on Amazon and Audible!

Marauders shot Yuan in the head and buried him in a ditch. They thought it would be enough to put him down. They were wrong.

Rising from the dead by the will of the Gun, demigod of revenge and firearms, Yuan only has one goal in mind: track down his murderers across the Unmade World and slaughter every last one of them. With the bullet-core stuck in his skull marking him as a Gunsoul, he can finally teach these arrogant cultivators a lesson they’ll never forget.

But revenge isn’t so easy to claim. To carve out a path through the wasteland, Yuan will have to face power-hungry sects, nuclear cultivators, and weapon-gods. Let them come. No one will bury him again.

He’ll give them all a taste of Bullet Hell.

Current schedule: Daily chapters from Monday to Friday.

Blueprint for Immortality: a Crafting Xianxia

★ 4.51

NoDragons

What to Expect: A slow-life xianxia with crafting, character-heavy writing, and exploring the world and people of Xianxia in a way the genre usually skips over.

Booker has woken up in the wrong body; a body ruined by drug-use, trapped in a dead-end life as the lowest possible form of apprentice in a massive sect.

But all this doesn't faze Booker. He's got a positive attitude, and when he looks into the mountains he sees a climb waiting for him. Better yet, he has the assistance of a magical book that will help him craft any pill in existence perfectly - a skill alchemists would fight and die for. With his skills in crafting, his patient soul, and his relentlessly upbeat attitude, Booker is climbing the first of many mountains.
