Treasures of Heaven and Earth

Why is it, that no matter how many world shattering heroes rise and fall, no matter how many times a realm is said to be depleted of resources, a hero rises again - burning all the resources they find as they go? Another inheritance is always found, another spirit herb, magical artefact... and no one asks why they never seem to run out... ...what keeps creating all these fortunate encounters? Why? And what happens if it stops? --- Warning, this book is a slow burner - rather than a fast paced DBZ style novel --- AUTHORS UPDATE: --- First 30 (one-sixth of) existing chapters have now been edited and reuploaded. Very little has been changed plot or event wise. It's been grammar, clarity, pacing/smoothness, period accuracy, and detail/sense layering. --- Apologies to my Readers My life has gone completely insane since 2019. I am prepared to start again, but I'm going to be slowly posting revised and clean chapters first, taking down old chapters as the new edits completely replace them. Unfortunately, Webnovel doesn't alert to updates to old content. I'm managing a couple of chapters a week worth of editing. By the way, if anyone thinks AI can do the work of writing for you, I say that it's an invaluable editing tool and soundingboard - but I find it still takes three to four hours of rewriting and discussing with the AI to update each chapter to a state I'm happy with. The payoff is that the AI keeping track of the novel events, characters, plots and threads as I go; trying to keep all that straight and losing focus is a big part of what blocked me last time, so hopefully, once I get to new content things will flow smoothly. --- This work was written and revised by the author with the assistance of a trained AI editor. All final choices, worldbuilding, and character voices were shaped by the author’s intent and hand.

Chronicles of the Omnisoul Monarch

✦ SYNOPSIS ✦ In a universe where the cosmos is dictated by the strength of one’s soul, humanity survives by awakening Soul Weapons. Between the ages of six and sixteen, a select few resonate with the universe to manifest these conceptual armaments. There are 20 Main Categories of Soul Weapons—from blazing Elements to mythical Creatures, from spatial distortions to temporal paradoxes. These weapons are categorized strictly by rarity: Normal, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical. Power is absolute. The cultivation path is divided into 20 grueling Ranks, each containing 12 subtle sub-ranks (Stars). Ascending a Rank grants earth-shattering power-ups, but the path is paved with corpses. Most awaken only one Soul Weapon in their lifetime. Only the rarest of geniuses, favored by the heavens, awaken a second weapon upon reaching the legendary bottleneck of Rank 7. Then, there is Leo. Orphaned and living in the lowest dregs of Sector 7, Leo’s Awakening Ceremony turns him into the laughingstock of the galaxy. Instead of a blazing sword or a roaring dragon, he awakens a "Normal" category weapon: a tiny, floating, 21-colored infant spirit that does nothing but sleep and giggle. To the world, he is garbage. A failure. But the world is blind to the abyss. Leo didn’t awaken just one weapon. In the depths of his soul, he awakened all 20 Main Categories at the Mythical level. He intentionally sealed them away, displaying only the 21st anomaly—the multi-colored baby. What no one knows is that this 21-color infant is the ultimate taboo: The Genesis Legion. It represents 21 unique, hyper-OP entities. Each color is a 'baby' that will grow into an apocalyptic force. Among them is an entity that can summon an immortal army, a devourer of dimensions, and a weaver of fate. If that wasn't enough, the moment the 21st entity awakened, a mechanical voice echoed in Leo's mind, fundamentally breaking the universe's laws: [Ding! The 'Akashic Singularity System' has bound to the Host.] [Condition Met: Supreme Anomaly detected. System Evolution initiated.] This is not a story of a hero saving the world. This is the dark, brutal, and ultimate chronicle of an anomaly who starts from absolute zero. Alongside five supreme Empresses—women of terrifying power and ambition who are anything but fragile vases—Leo will navigate a universe filled with mega-factions, ancient cosmic villains, and brutal, continuous wars spanning hundreds of chapters. From the quiet, slice-of-life moments of raising his bizarre soul entities, to the blood-drenched, star-shattering wars against the cosmic gods, Leo will burn the old universe down and forge a new one upon his throne. He is the 21st Paradigm. He is the Omnisoul Monarch

The Protagonist's Useless Brother

[A/N: No SMUT. Slow paced starting. The book is mostly romance and comedy focused, action will be minimal and happen later.] I died from overwork as a life coach. I got transmigrated into a fantasy novel. Standard stuff, right? Wrong. I woke up as the useless older brother of Theodore, the dense, battle-obsessed protagonist of "Destiny's Harem Knight." The world is doomed to fall to a Demon Lord unless my brother forges alliances by marrying his four destined heroines. My mission is simple: use my life coaching skills to guide my romantically-challenged brother and save the world. The problem? My "help" is working a little too well... on the wrong person. Now, his stoic teacher, his fiancée's powerhouse sister, his rival's legendary mother, and a 500-year-old elf are all looking at me with hearts in their eyes. I've accidentally stolen my brother's entire harem, and in the process, I might have just doomed us all. If you are enjoying this novel and want more chapters [BONUS], do these and you will get as much as you want. [AUTHOR FROM FUTURE] As this is my first one, it's nowhere near perfect and has a few plot holes and a bit repetitive for the first 50 chapter. (47 of them are free btw) But after that point the story will be a lot better (as I have improved in both writing and plotting). So I kindly request you guys to read up to 60 chapters before deciding to hate it, but if you get bored and want to drop it you are welcome do so.

Dangerous But Mine: Mafia Entanglement

Trapped by an unfair contract, Eva was determined to do whatever it took to end the contract and ensure it ended with her alone, but she never expected to be sent to the enemy as a spy. “Nothing complicated,” they said. “Yeah right.” How was she going to find a man even her so-called ‘boss’ couldn't find? But left no other choice, she set off, following the instructions given to her, searching high and low not knowing the one she sought was right beside her. The man whose presence lit up her day and made butterflies flutter in her stomach even when he didn't mean to. Yes, Eva fell in love. And now? Eva was trapped between dangerous organizations, one has her heart and the other a contract that could ruin everything all over again *** Excerpt: “You hate me now, don't you?” Eva said as she pulled on the jacket, trying to cover as much of herself as possible. Trying to suppress the emotions that threatened to shatter her to pieces. Her eyes darted towards the man who had his back to her. He couldn't even bring himself to look at her. She thought, biting her lip. “I understand if you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore. I promise to disappear from your sight. You'll never see me again…” “Eva…” his voice sliced through the dark room that was barely illuminated by the moonlight, cutting her mid sentence. Her breath hitched at the edginess his tone carried. Eva held her breath when he turned, his broad back slowly shifting until he stood facing her. She almost couldn't look him in the eyes, afraid of what she would see. Those steely grey orbs that always seem to stare into her soul were even more unreadable now. “Come here, Eva,” his tone suddenly changed, losing its sharp edge. “What?” When she took longer processing his words, he took a step towards her while she instinctively took a step back. Seeing that, he stopped and held her gaze. “Come here, Eva,” he repeated, his voice becoming firmer, an order she was compelled to obey. With both hands clutching tightly to the oversized jackets, she took slow and staggering steps towards him. Her heels clicking on the tiled floor with each step and the silence of the room amplifying them. She felt bare under his intense gaze but she couldn't stop her legs from moving towards him. She knew he could be frightening, but this was the first time she had ever faced this side of him. Yet, her legs still moved, obeying his command. “I… I promise… I won't…” “Keep moving, Eva,” he ordered again when her steps slowed down as she started talking. Eva gulped but did as he ordered until she was standing a three foot distance from him. Unable to hold his gaze, she stared down at her feet. The red straps of her heels now an eyesore but she would rather look at them than at his eyes. Or face. “In your eyes, am I that shallow, Eva?” He asked, his tone calm and calculated. Eva snapped her head up as soon as those unexpected words left his lips.

Anime Crossover: Starting with Cronus, I'm Terrifyingly Strong

[Starting with Cronus + Kamen Rider + Crossover Anime + Tanzaburo Higashijima + Nisekoi + Multiple Heroines] Transmigrating to various anime worlds, Shiraishi Shin begins as Kamen Rider Cronus. In the realm of the God of Time, day and night are but a thought away, and time stops and flows backwards only for him. On campus, Shiraishi Shin is a gentle, cheerful, and sunny male god, but when facing strange people, he is a cold-blooded judge and a grim reaper. The city's impurities, the Amazon lurking in the shadows, the constellation apostles on campus, the Shocker monster causing chaos, and monsters from other knight worldviews in the dimensional rift, and the BOSS. When he is Kamen Rider Cronus, he puts his index finger to his lips and says, "Shh, during the trial, the scene must remain serious." When he was Kamen Rider Eternal, he gave a thumbs-down sign and said, "When you get to hell, just say my name, Shinigami, and you can skip the toll." When he is in Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole form, his right hand spins like a black hole: "This day next year will be your death anniversary, Ciao." When he was the Blade of the God of War, he pressed his thumb down on his index finger and said, "Don't misunderstand, I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all." When he is Oma Zi-O: "If you do not bow to the king, you have already lost your true destiny. Your name is on the Reincarnation Stele. Bow with each step. If you are devout and sincere, your sins will be halved on the road to rebirth." All sorts of weirdos: What? I'm taking on the Knight Boss one-on-one? ... The tentative list of female leads includes: Alisa who speaks Russian from time to time, Shiina Mahiru, the angelic neighbor, Okada Yuriko, the eccentric Takumi, Kirisaki Chitoge, Kato Megumi, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, the black-stocking fanatic.
