Elias "Grim" Kingsley, a nine-year-old orphan with a hardened heart and sharp tongue, dies alone from pneumonia in an overcrowded orphanage. Known for his perpetual scowl and biting remarks, he's labeled a "problem child" by caretakers and "damaged goods" by potential adopters. Years of rejection have built thick armor around his young heart. In death, he encounters the God of Balance who offers him a second chance at life in a different world—this time as Grim Van Ambrose, son of a noble house. Balance explains that every soul deserves to know love and connection, something Elias was cruelly denied in his first life. Promised the family and belonging he never experienced, Grim begins his new life only to suffer an immediate tragedy: his mother dies moments after his birth. This cruel twist of fate reinforces his belief that loss is inevitable, leaving him with a distant father and the mysterious voice of a "Guidance Assistant" in his head. As Grim grows into his new identity, he struggles with his dual nature—the emotional scars of his past life bleeding into his present one. His difficult personality and sharp tongue remain, now paired with noble privilege and expectations. Despite his outward brashness, he carries the deep wounds of his first life and the fresh loss that welcomed him into his second. What begins as one orphan's second chance evolves into an epic journey through a world of ancient beasts, elemental magic, and deadly political intrigue. As Grim uncovers the truth about the Ambrose Clan's fall from grace and the conspiracy that framed them for treason, he faces increasingly dangerous adversaries—both human and monstrous. His quest for revenge against those who destroyed his family's legacy will challenge him to master forbidden techniques, forge unexpected alliances, and ultimately decide whether to rebuild the Ambrose Clan as it was, or transform it into something entirely new. In a realm where power determines survival and ancient secrets lurk beneath noble facades, Grim must learn that sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought with swords, but with the choices that define who we truly are.

"When the old gods are forgotten, they do not die—they wait." In the year 1025, the Viking Age wanes. Iceland bows to Christ. The Althing governs by law. And the gods of old fade to whispers. But in the far Westfjords, something stirs. Vetrulfr, a former Varangian captain and exile, returns from the East with foreign gold, forgotten warcraft, and a hunger no man can name. He comes not in peace, but to raise Ullrsfjörðr from ash and ice; building walls, carving runes, and waging war on behalf of a dying faith. From Reykjavík to Aachen, rumors spread: a ghost walks the North once more. Some call him the son of Ullr. Others, a wolf-cloaked demon. But all will know his name. and when the Valkyries call, he will answer.

Naph had a couple of years of extremes. One year, he was trying to chase down a few rats in a desert. Another he was hunting bears in a river. There was a year when he just chilled himself on a beach. His volatile heart mayhems his life. This time his hunt had a different breed entirely. Named Bulwark. Quite the bounty on such a name. The only requirement? Bring the head back clean and without damage. Hunting was a sport. At least that’s what he had learned by watching others. Every adult showing off their repertoire of the dead. His volatile nature and teen years hadn’t taught him whom to show off or not. Bulwark was his first human kill. Yet it was his first insight into what a ‘catalyst’ could do. His survival had been on his intellect earlier, but not anymore. The world responded. He ran. Ran into things he hadn’t heard. Will the world make him another number in its long list of the dead? Or will he learn its truths? Will he know of the unspoken words he hadn’t processed? His heart a volatile entity; the world a raging a beast chasing him. And a few words that he didn’t knew- yet one etched itself in: “Cata”.

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] If you are interested in Cultivation novels but tired of the same plot with MC always starting from the bottom and working his way up, come and read this novel, you may find it to your liking. Somewhere in the vast expanse called the OverRealm existed an Empire that governed trillions and trillions of citizens with a domain of an even more significant magnitude. It was a typical morning for most people, except for the Royal Family that controlled the Empire. Somewhere inside the enormous palace, a child was being born, a child of never seen before talents, a child who was born with everything anyone could possibly ask for. Now, let us follow the child's journey and see how they will adapt, experience, and change the OverRealm in the future. Currently plan on releasing three chapters a week; however, except for about three different chapters, every other chapter will have 1500 words or more, usually around 1600 words though

In a shattered world stitched together by forgotten gods and ancient magic, three fates unravel across kingdoms, deserts, and skies. After a forbidden ritual unleashes a devil upon a poor village, a humble girl awakens a miracle — rare, celestial magic gifted only by the unseen Mage King. Taken to the capital, she is trained not just as a mage, but as a symbol of hope for a kingdom on the brink. But while she learns to protect, two others learn what it means to destroy. Far beyond the palace walls, in a hidden underground lab, Zarek Zinc and Rylix Zinc were born into darkness. Tortured, experimented on, and forged in pain, they escaped not as children, but as weapons — bound by brotherhood, scarred by blood. One wields a blade that can tear through dimensions; the other commands gravity itself. But as they flee across fractured lands, hunted by kings and feared by nations, they must confront what the world made of them — and what they still have the power to become. Their paths cross and separate as empires rise, fall, and bleed. From floating islands ruled by beast-blooded clans to desert cities that shimmer with illusion and greed, each journey leaves its mark. Old gods whisper beneath ruined temples. Forbidden magic blooms in quiet rebellion. The stars above chart destinies no one dares to follow. But this is not a story of heroes. It is a tale of travelers — broken, chosen, cursed — chasing a world that no longer knows how to stay whole. And when the threads of fate finally meet, the Unwoven World will either be stitched back together... or ripped apart forever.

Yu Lingshe had a visionary dream. She lived in a so-called modern society, with technology and all those things. In that life, she was a common office worker, nothing remarkable. Her favourite thing to do was reading online literature. One day, she found a very intriguing novel - not because of the characters, most of them were horrible, nor did she like the romance, which was just made up and forced. No, she liked the premise, the setting, the world! Something caught her eye - especially the third female character in the novel. As she read on, she became more and more frustrated at the helplessness of the third female lead, while also being disgusted at the female protagonist. When the third female lead died, she decided to give up. Just then, she woke up from her dream and realised this was more than just a dream, or rather… it might have been a true prophetic dream because she, Yu Lingshe, was exactly that third female lead! From then on, she changed the script and rose in prominence, becoming the renown Jade Witch of the Yu Clan. ___ Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ancientwitch Discord: https://discord.gg/yj46BZ8TkH

In a world shattered by stars and ruled by swords, a forgotten relic awakens a legend... ‎ ‎When the sky cracked and the old world died, humanity fell not to war—but to silence. Cities turned to dust, machines lost their minds, and the heavens wept fire. ‎ ‎Lin Xuanyuan was just a dying orphan in the ruins of the Central Empire. But when he stumbles into an ancient, half-buried temple pulsing with forgotten tech, he awakens something more than divine—a dormant AI relic known as Heaven’s Will. ‎ ‎Stranded in a post-apocalyptic realm where cultivation sects rule with iron and myth, Xuanyuan must start from nothing: no bloodline, no power, no sect. Yet inside his veins, something new begins to stir—a synthesis of spiritual qi and artificial nanocores, a forbidden fusion of the old and the future. ‎ ‎With only a strange AI in his mind, a blade forged from shattered satellites, and the will to survive, he begins the long road toward one goal: ‎To build an empire that even Heaven cannot erase. ‎ ‎But the ancient dynasties remember the last man who dared to defy the sky. ‎And they buried him in a tomb of stars. ‎ ‎ ‎
