Cultivator in a Wizard World!?

Jieming realizes he’s transmigrated. His cheat ability is an immortal cultivation encyclopedia — The Grand Dao Library. But why did he end up in a wizard world instead?! The Star-Ring Federation, the Crimson Royal Court, the Void Institute of Architecture, the Anti-Entropy Alliance… Wizard civilization, in the midst of a great expansion era, wages war like ravenous wolves on every plane they discover. This is the best of times — and the worst of times. With the constant risk of being turned into an experimental specimen or cannon fodder in interplanar wars, Jieming makes a decision: Lie low. Develop technology. Stockpile resources. Use knowledge from both worlds to quietly grow in the peril-filled depths of the Astral Abyss. “Don’t be afraid. I’m just logistics personnel — not some combat wizard. I’m only here to gather a few raw materials.” Having said that, Jieming looks at the plane before him, reaches out with one hand— —and refines it on the spot.

Dragon Gear

Avi wakes in a world that smells of pine and iron, his head a blank and his hands remembering blades. From the mouth of a cave the dragon-god Garjhimagni speaks like thunder and sets him a single terrible task: find six boys touched by the Dragon Kings, bind them into a blade, and strike at the shadowed conspiracy known as the Star Octave. Its leader, the merciless Tsar Drakuvor, holds the key to the memories stolen from Avi the night the world split. Outside the cave Avi meets Ruslan, a thin, quick scout hollowed by loss. Ruslan’s grief becomes Avi’s first promise: to help restore what was taken. Together they head for the fortress town of Pskov, carrying nothing but a fragile pact, a rusty blade, and the echo of a dragon’s command in their bones. It closes on the tension that hums like a bell: Avi, a warrior without a past, a dragon’s mission pressed into his palm, and a world watching to see whether he will reclaim who he once was—or be remade by the fate that found him. Find the six. Break the Octave. Take your life back.

Fifty years ago, the Abyss appeared in the world, and the world was never the same.

Now, awakened humans with magical abilities are tasked with venturing deep into the Abyss to destroy it once and for all. But there is more to the Abyss than humanity knew. … … Thoren Starfall has been plagued by disease since his childhood. To save him from the Mana-Eating Worm, his parents took a high-interest loan when he was close to dying. When Thoren Starfall recovered from the disease, he awakened the weakest occupation: a Necromancer. As an Awakener, it is compulsory for him to venture into the Abyss, but with a useless occupation, his fate is already decided. Having lost their first daughter to the Abyss, the Starfall family fell into despair. Thoren, however, is different. While everyone calls his occupation useless, he believes otherwise. Hidden beneath his weak occupation lies an Ex-Rank talent, one that even he doesn’t fully understand.

[Warning: 3 rich girls detected within 15 meters. Incubus Pheromones activated.] [Recommendation: Flee. Or flirt. Your call.] Lux Vaelthorn wanted three things: a good coffee, peace and quiet, and zero responsibilities. What he got? A mansion, a bounty for his soul and a bunch of heiresses fighting over who gets to be his first “investment.” As the heir of Greed and Lust, Lux was born to dominate markets, hearts, and boardrooms. But after centuries of cleaning up his parents’ messes in the underworld, he rage-quit Hell’s finance department and took a hundred-year vacation to the mortal realm. His problem? Even without trying, he’s too hot, too rich, and too magnetic. His Incubus Pheromones seduce emotionally unstable rich girls like clockwork. His Greed System scans bank accounts like X-rays. And thanks to a “minor” celestial bounty on his soul, some entities either want to marry him… or murder him. Lux just wanted caffeine. Now he’s got a mansion full of beautiful heiresses, a schedule full of power plays, and a city that thinks he’s a billionaire playboy CEO. Fine.
