Jiang Chen thought dying from overwork in his past life was the end. Instead, he woke up in the Cloud Sea Sect, an outer disciple facing imminent expulsion for failing his farming assessments.

His only asset: a near-worthless Wood Spiritual Root and a single plot of depleted land.

But fate, or perhaps the universe, had a sense of dark humor.

[Ding! Harvesting 1 Spirit Rice. Lifespan +1 Day.]

With the Harvest System, every successful crop extends his life, and that accumulated Lifespan can be spent to instantly upgrade his cultivation arts.

Why spend decades meditating when he can farm his way to mastery?

Facing bullies like Wang Hu and navigating the sect’s treacherous inner politics, Jiang Chen makes his choice: Go Low, Go Slow, and Never Stop Growing.

He’ll use his past life’s cunning business sense to exploit every loophole, monopolize resources, and quietly build his fortune.

Others might chase power, but Jiang Chen will meticulously farm his way to the pinnacle, one Mutated Spirit Rice grain at a time.

His goal is not just Foundation Establishment; it is to outlive the gods. <<less

With a fate pattern in hand, survive through cautious cultivation!

Chen Qing transmigrated, but found himself in a chaotic world where martial arts reign supreme and human life is as cheap as grass.

He starts as a poor fisherman’s son in Mute Bay, with his father conscripted for corvée labor and gone without a trace.

The orphan and widowed mother are exploited layer upon layer by government taxes and gang’s “Dragon King incense fees,” struggling on the edge of starvation.

Heaven does not abandon people completely, as a [Fate Pattern: Heaven Rewards Diligence, Success Guaranteed] hangs suspended in his mind!

This means that for any skill, he has no qualification barriers, no bottleneck obstacles, as long as he puts in effort, he will surely be rewarded! <<less

【A new work from the author of 'Lord of the Mysteries'!】

“Zhulong, the Torch Dragon, once eaten, it cleaves chaos, illuminates the Nine Obscurities, commands day and night, alters the four seasons, and summons wind and rain.”

“Xiangliu, the Nine-Headed Serpent, once eaten, erodes the earth, swallows mountains, poisons a hundred generations, and its nine heads act independently.

“Feiyi, the Plaguebane, once eaten, repels insects and vermin, fortifies the spirit, and wards off all diseases.”.

“Yu, the Shadow Fiend, once eaten, excels at ambush and concealment, and spits sand to strike down foes.”

“……”

“How is this world’s secret Classic of Mountains and Seas so different from the one I knew in my past life?”

Lost in silent thought, Ding Songyan turned to the person beside him:

“You’re saying—these creatures vanished from the world long ago. Only the martial arts remain, forged by those who first consumed them, shaped by the transformations wrought upon their very bodies. And these arts… can still be cultivated?” <<less

In the Age of Steam, reason and mysticism exist side by side.

The more you know, the closer you come to madness—this is the shared understanding of those who have looked behind the veil.

Richard does not believe it.

Or rather, that rule does not apply to him.

His skill panel allows him to explore countless fields and master every one of them, like a steam engine that never needs to shut down.

The moment Ye Qiyan opened his eyes, he found himself in the world of Train Survival.

Everyone must disembark at each station to explore in order to survive.

The lucky ones discover treasures; the unlucky ones lose their lives.

Opportunity and danger walk hand in hand.

Gather supplies, upgrade your train, and build your very own personalized train world.

But he—Ye Qiyan—was born with a one-of-a-kind Ascension Ability.

Anything in his hands could be evolved to its utmost potential!

【Crude Dagger → Enchanted Sharp Dagger → Eternal Cutter】

【White Forest Fruit Tree → Blessed Fruit Tree → Venus’ Golden Fruit Tree】

【Beehive → Giant Wasp Hive → Nano Future Hive】

While others were still fighting for a piece of bread, Ye Qiyan kept growing stronger through his ascension power, leaving everyone in the dust.

“So… even the train can evolve?”

Thus, even before the first station arrived in Train Survival, he was already in the lead!

【Ascension Successful! Record Broken! Destiny Divergence Module Unlocked!】

【Dear Conductor, you may now choose your next station!】

【Please sit tight and hold on — the train is about to arrive at its first stop…】 <<less

Professional gold farmer Yang Ling only wanted to relax in the game “Divine Realm.”

But after entering the game, he quickly realizes something is very wrong.

The environment is extremely harsh.

Danger lurks everywhere.

Worst of all—

Logging out isn’t possible.

Now trapped inside the game world, Yang Ling has no choice. For the sake of survival, he starts doing what he knows best:

Mining.

While others struggle to fight monsters and compete for resources, Yang Ling quietly digs deeper and deeper—

Leveling up, distributing stat points, and strengthening himself step by step.

What began as a desperate survival strategy slowly turns him into something far beyond an ordinary player.

A god forged through mining. <<less

The Great Dao is dead.

Yet its body did not disappear. It became heaven and earth, giving birth to countless worlds within the folds of its slowly rotting flesh.

The farther a person leaves the mortal realm behind, the closer they draw to the source of power, and the more clearly they can smell the decay.

The weak die without ever understanding. The strong discover a truth far more terrifying than death: all their techniques, treasures, and schemes spanning thousands of years merely turn them into fatter maggots feeding on the corpse of the long-dead Great Dao.

At the very bottom of this vast tomb struggles Chen Lingxi, the last descendant of a ruined clan, a government slave, and a test subject for deadly poisons. To the masters of the estate, he is not a person.

He is a piece of meat already marked for the alchemical furnace.

His only advantage is the mysterious Divine Chamber. It allows him to see through the eyes of others, steal knowledge never meant for him, and experience the future before it arrives, a future where every mistake ends in death.

Chen Lingxi does not seek eternal life. He wants only one thing: to crawl off the table before the feast begins.

But the higher he climbs along the path of cultivation, the more horrifying the truth becomes. The table is far larger than he imagined, the diners are beyond counting, and those mortals worship as gods may themselves be nothing more than food.

***

Official Description:

The Great Dao is dead, yet none of the cultivators beneath heaven know it.

Heaven and earth are a tomb. The void lies shattered, and countless secret realms have arisen within the rotting fissures of the Dao's corpse.

The corpse of the Dao stretches across the Great Void. Its will shattered into [Cauldron Artifacts] and scattered throughout the heavens. Any cultivator who obtains one may glimpse a fragment of the Great Dao's laws.

In the Great Li Dynasty, Chen Lingxi obtains the [Divine Chamber] and sets foot upon the path of the Dao.

The Divine Chamber is mysterious beyond measure and nurtures divine abilities.

[Divine Ability: Wandering Sight]: Bind yourself to another person, see what they see, and uncover the opportunities they encounter.

[Divine Ability: Foresight]: Send your consciousness into the Divine Chamber, where it recreates the outside world and the passage of time, allowing its master to learn what the future holds.

[Divine Ability: Echo]: Offer time itself as a sacrifice to replay past events from a chosen place within the Divine Chamber.

[Divine Ability: Breath Tracing]: Use a relic left behind by the dead to retrace their experiences.

...

With the Divine Chamber in his grasp, Chen Lingxi intended to seek opportunities, seize fortune, and attain immortality.

But then he discovered... <<less

In this despair-filled alternate world, people possess all kinds of powers meant to save humanity.

Some transform into Ultraman and become beings of light.

Some become Kamen Riders and walk the path of heaven.

Some pilot giant robots and yell about forming the head.

But when Lin Guang looks at his own talent…

he falls silent.

What do you mean my superpower is:

[Piloting Magical Girl Corpses]?

So I’ve basically become Brain Monster now? <<less

When Zhou Qing closes his eyes, only a moment passes in the present.

When he opens them again, an entire lifetime lies behind him.

In the world of cultivation, talent decides how far one can go, background determines what one is allowed to learn, and a single mistake can erase decades of effort. Zhou Qing possesses no exceptional gifts, but he can live through one possible version of his future to its very end, then return with all the strength, knowledge, and experience he gained along the way.

For him, years spent learning are no longer lost forever, and a wrong path does not have to be the last one he walks. Yet the future never repeats itself exactly. Every intervention alters the course of events, past experience gradually becomes less reliable, and familiar people reveal a different side of themselves each time.

To everyone else, Zhou Qing is still only a young man taking his first steps on the path to immortality.

But with every return, another lifetime remains behind him—one that no one else remembers.

***

Offical Description:

When Zhou Qing opened his eyes, he discovered that he had been transported to a world of immortals and cultivation.

Here, cultivators stand far above ordinary mortals, pursuing the path to immortality and seeking unrivaled supremacy beneath the heavens.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing possesses the ability to simulate his own future without limit. After every simulation, he can bring back everything he has gained—his cultivation, skills, techniques, and more…

After his first simulation, Zhou Qing treated others with kindness and watched his every word and action.

After his third, he began cautiously testing the boundaries, curious about everything around him.

After his fifth, he resolved to cultivate diligently and repay the sect that had taken him in.

After his eighth, Zhou Qing came to believe that the world should not be this way.

And after his tenth simulation, he decided to overturn the very heavens of the cultivation world. <<less

Once you enter Anbu, it’s as deep as the sea; without acting cautiously and surviving low-key, you’ll die fast.

During the Second Ninja War, having transmigrated as a Konoha Village Anbu cannon fodder, Yoru felt like he could die any day.

He followed Danzo to kill Yahiko, then was killed by Nagato.

Anbu die fast, but it’s not entirely without benefits.

Keep surviving low-key, keep drawing, Yoru is determined to survive in Anbu to become Super Shadow. <<less

I opened my eyes and it was a dark fantasy world.

In a world where divine miracles exist, I searched for what a doctor could do.

– “Please…! Find the person who made that vaccine, by any means necessary…!”

– “You saved our forest from that fever. Now you must fulfill your responsibility of salvation, Doctor.”

– “Seriously, if you, who saved the future of countless children, are not a saint, then who deserves to be canonized?”

There was more I could do than I thought. <<less

Jiuyou transmigrated into the cultivation world eight hundred years ago. Blessed with dual Ice and Fire Spiritual Roots, he struggled his way up from obscurity, eventually becoming a Nascent Soul Patriarch, founding Soulshade Island, and establishing a fearsome reputation.

Yet no one knows that he has been trapped at the Initial Nascent Soul Stage for centuries. His lifespan is running out, and he can no longer make any progress.

That is, until he discovers that a menial disciple on his island possesses a small green bottle capable of accelerating the growth of spiritual herbs and rendering them immune to the passage of time.

There is no hesitation. No mercy.

Kill. Soul-search. Seize the treasure.

“After transmigrating to the cultivation world for eight hundred years, I finally realized that cheat abilities have to be stolen with your own hands.”

From then on, while cultivators across the world risk life and limb competing for ten-thousand-year spiritual herbs, Jiuyou merely plucks a few hundred-year spirit plants, enters seclusion, and ripens them with the bottle, allowing his foundation to advance by leaps and bounds each day.

Witness how this lifespan-depleted Nascent Soul Patriarch embarks upon a path of invincibility that leaves the entire cultivation world utterly dumbfounded. <<less

I was transmigrated into a broken game full of bugs.

First, I decided to establish my concept. <<less

Solomon is the fourth son and the youngest child of the main branch of the Morrow family. In a time where first sons inherit nearly everything, he was doomed to a comfortable and dull existence. One in which most would languish in luxury.

Solomon wanted more for himself. He wanted to be a true noble. Not just a man with a title, but a man who represents the best of what they can be. An example of how one should treat their land and people.

With his father dying, he saw the opportunity to forge his will, and change his destiny.

Of course, the lands he inherits come with secrets and will lead him to powers and responsibility beyond what he'd ever expected.

Noble Arcana follows Solomon on a journey into magic and secrets. He will become a powerful mage with a focus on forbidden magics. These include all the usual suspects such as necromancy and blood magic, as well as more obscure magics like chronomancy and soulamancy. He will be hiding his newfound powers from others as every use puts him and those under his care in danger.

Setting is roughly Victorian. MC is good to morally grey.

Updates will be daily for at least the first twenty days, after that it'll settle into Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun same as Penitent was.

When the world casts you aside, the ultimate comeback begins.

Soren was branded a worthless, unawakened dud, a family embarrassment with no future. Ethea was the legendary Ice Empress, now left paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Cast out by their families, they were forced into an arranged marriage, abandoned and disowned.

Their families assumed they were finished, but fate had other plans.

That very wedding night, Soren awakens a unique power: the Investment Authority.

Risk his life to save hers? Get Supreme grade returns. Help her cultivate again? Gain an equal amount of experience immediately. Cook and feed her? Become the world’s most skilled chef.

Through his devotion, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen.

Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures.

They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless.

"You threw us away. Now watch us rise."

In a world shattered by rifts and overrun by monsters, humanity's only hope lies in the summoners – elite warriors who command mythical beasts. They are legends. They are celebrities. They are the strong.

On the day of the Talent Awakening Ceremony, sixteen-year-old Godfrey watches in awe as his peers call forth packs of direwolves, mighty hydras, and even legendary dragons. When his own turn comes, he hopes for anything that will lift him from the bottom of society.

What awakens is not a beast, but a legacy.

Rejected and mocked for manifesting a single, armored knight from a forgotten age, Godfrey is dismissed as a failure. But they are all wrong. He has not summoned a mere soldier, he has awakened the Bloodline of the Ancient Golden Order.

While others rely on feral packs and roaring dragons, Godfrey commands the disciplined, peerless might of the Golden Knight-Captains. One knight’s sword moves faster than a dragon’s breath. One archer’s arrow can pierce a hydra’s heart from a thousand paces away.

They call his power weak. Soon, they will call it legendary.

The world was rebuilt after its destruction. On precarious cliffs, skyscrapers once again rose to the heavens.

Those called “The Chosen” operate behind the scenes of reality, walking in the shadows of history. They wield extraordinary powers, commanding both worship and fear.

Some say they bear divine destinies, one in ten thousand.

But Ji Jue has no interest in destiny. All he wants is to one day witness the scenery above destiny.

“…”

The recorder paused and looked at the grease-stained auto mechanic.

“So, this is your justification for destabilizing international order, trafficking forbidden weapons, funding subversive organizations, inciting a bipolar world war, and plotting to secretly rule the world?”

“None of that’s my business!” Ji Jue rolled his eyes. “I’m just a lousy car mechanic!” <<less

The Great Yan Empire has enjoyed over 1,300 years of prosperity. However, the emperor is on his deathbed, leaving the prince to assume the throne. As the regional immortal sects take control, the central government falls into chaos.

One day, Xu Yuan wakes up to find himself in a deserted mountain temple on a rainy night. He sees a strange stone Buddha missing one arm and a mysterious woman in black near a flickering fire.

Unbeknownst to him, he is the ultimate boss’s third son, a righteous antagonist with a pure and honorable background.

The false antagonist, who relied on cheats and tricks to gain wealth and status, is waiting to be crushed. But the true antagonist is running away from an avalanche of ice blocks.

The false antagonist has an op-cheat, but the true antagonist confronts the harsh realities of life.

Ansu is reincarnated into a game world… and right at the start, he’s about to be brainwashed by the main antagonist — the World-Ending Witch.

To control him, the witch hypnotizes him every day, planting psychological suggestions until he slowly becomes her loyal tool.

Fortunately, Ansu has a cheat ability: he can simulate the future and preview every bad ending.

So he pretends to be successfully hypnotized, secretly waiting for a chance to escape.

Since someone under hypnosis can’t lie, everything he says will be taken by the witch as his true feelings.

Hmm… maybe he can use this to farm affection points, so she’ll become more and more reluctant to kill him?

And thus, Ansu begins his “operations.”

Good news: The witch’s attitude toward him keeps getting better.

Bad news: It’s getting too good…

Oh no. He’s completely trapped now. <<less

There isn't just a grain of truth behind superstition. It's a boulder of truth, and it's about to roll onto the world.

Humanity has forgotten the ancient ways of magic, ritual, and the occult, as mana has disappeared from the world over the past millennia. Once-powerful creatures are now remembered as silly cryptids.

Organizations that, in ancient times, guided the world of mortals from the shadows have now turned into conspiracy theories, and powerful rituals and ancient gods have become nothing more than superstition and old beliefs.

But the universe never stays constant, and change is inevitable.

Magic begins to make its return, as mythical creatures start to crawl out from their hidden lairs, the Ouija boards start summoning real demons, and college Halloween haunted-house parties turn into real horrors.

The world slowly descends into chaos.

But all of this isn't bad news for everyone.

This is a breath of fresh air to Samuel, the last remaining member of a once-infamous wizard family known for their strange deals with Eldritch gods.

Following in his ancestors' footsteps, he embarks on a path to the pinnacle of magic and dark arts.

The chaos will transform his work as an exorcist from explaining to old ladies that their cat vomiting on the carpet is not a sign of possession to fighting some proper ghosts and demons.

The exorcist business is about to boom, but is this a good thing for the rest of the world?
