Chapter 162
The Lyre’pyron hovered in the air, the bird looked like it was made of mist and light. Its feathers sparkled, and the air around it seemed to ripple as if alive. The clearing was silent for a moment before gasps broke out among the elves.
“That’s a rare spirit!”
“It’s a miracle!”
Words were whispered in hushed tones around them.

Chapter 55
Chen Ren dreamt of home.
Not the chaos of Cloud Mist City, not the noise of markets or the sharp clash of blades, but home. The small apartment with peeling wallpaper, the aroma of instant noodles in the air, and the old, secondhand couch where he spent countless hours.
He wasn’t dreaming of the grind this time—the endless string of part-time jobs he juggled to k...
Chapter 54
City Lord Li Baolong’s breath hitched in his throat as he looked at the sight before him in pure horror. He knew that the chaos below was something that wouldn’t leave his mind anytime soon. The arena stands rumbled with the weight of countless footsteps, the crowd scrambling to escape the nightmare before them. The once-exuberant tournament, a celebration of youthful tale...
Chapter 161
Kai stood frozen, his eyes locked on Flossbor. They widened in disbelief. His gaze then shifted to Claire, who was giggling softly, her hands outstretched as she played with the wisps of glowing spirits dancing around her. She looked so… carefree.
The spirits flitted and twirled, drawn to her as if she were a magnet for their kind. The words that came from the two e...
Chapter 160
Although Kai knew that elves were the authoritative figures on druidic magic, he couldn’t help but gape in awe as Elder V’aleirith led him to the top floor of the library that was shared by the five tribes.
The magnitude of the collection was overwhelming. Shelves stretched high, stacked with countless books. Kai’s eyes darted over the rows, most of them dedicate...
Chapter 53
Life was unfair, and the heavens even more so. They always tried to shoot down anyone who dared to rise too high, as though they despised those who challenged their fate. Gu Tian had learned this bitter truth long ago, back in his childhood, when his cultivation had been destroyed—not by an enemy, but by his own cousin.
His cousin, the young master of the main branch ...
Chapter 159
As soon as Kai set his hand on the bark, his emotions flared up. It wasn’t just a physical reaction—it was as if his very being was reaching out to something beyond the confines of the world he knew. He could feel his perception expand, not just on a sensory level, but something more primal, more universal.
It was as though his mind had been opened, not just to the...
Chapter 52
Chen Ren sat cross-legged in the room that was allocated for him. The faraway muffled noise of the crowd in the arena could be heard and felt by him due to the sheer number of people cheering even before the fight had started.
Yet, he managed to ignore all of them. Instead, he focused on his dantian. His steadied his breath, his qi flowing smoothly through his meridian...
Hello, everyone I recently posted 4 chapters of a novel I worked on months back and you all really seemed to love it. I have actually dropped the book before not knowing if people would enjoy it but it seems like my worry was for naught. Would you want me to continue it?
PS - I won't be taking out time from Magus Reborn or Dao of Money if I work on it. I will only write it if I have fre...
Chapter 158
Kai and the rest of his troupe moved gracefully through the lands of Sylvastra, following the five elf elders who walked alongside him. They were all quiet, leaving past all the hushed whispers. But their eyes spoke a lot—they were fixed on Kai and his group as if they were rare beasts they had never seen before.
That was true—Kai doubted most elves had gone far e...
Chapter 51
As the pills did their work, Chen Ren moved to the arena stands where his people were sitting for the second round of the semifinals. The matches were all scheduled for the same day, largely due to the mounting tension from recent demonic cultivator attacks and the city wanting to wrap up the tournament quickly.
As Chen Ren moved through the crowd to where Tang Xiulan ...
Archmagus Apocalypse -
An idea I worked on a year back. Wanted you all thoughts on it.
Synopsis -
When the System arrived on Earth, an Archmagus stood against it.
Archie “Arc” Jones was a random nobody until he found himself in another world named Ascaris, a ruined magical world with monsters crawling every part of it.
For almost a decade, he worked har...
Chapter 157
As they made their way up the river's current, Raven began to explain more about the river that was called Mistfen river.
For the first hour of the journey, Kai couldn't understand the reasoning behind the name. But as the boat drifted farther, a strange, swirling mist began to envelop them, thick and dense, obscuring everything around. They couldn’t see past what ...
Chapter 50
As Cang Rui rushed at him, his purple-coloured qi swirled around his legs, moving around like an eye-catching trail. It wasn't just for show—his speed was astonishing.
Chen Ren's eyes struggled to follow the movement. He couldn’t understand why it was happening, Was it because of their difference in cultivation realms? Or was the movement technique itself leagues ah...
Chapter 156
New territory didn’t always come with new land and people to rule. It came with responsibilities—burdens that make one feel as if they had boulders pressing their weight down on them. And sometimes, those responsibilities came with problems. Land disputes were one of the more common ones out of them, and today, Francis was facing one of the worst kinds.
The kind wh...
Chapter 49
Chen Ren kept his eyes fixed on the arena platform, maintaining his focus despite the noise coming from the crowd. The city official, serving as the referee, stepped forward, his voice loud and clear as it echoed across the massive arena.
"After many interesting and exciting battles, where cultivators displayed their strength, and willpower to challenge even the heave...
Chapter 155
Once the game was over, both Duke Blackwood and Leopold didn’t speak much. And the former congratulated him on the win and walked away, leaving the room to the two.
It was as if the old Duke needed time to process whatever Kai had hinted toward. He hadn’t outright proclaimed that he was running for the throne—doing so now would have been hasty and reckless. But h...
Chapter 48
For a moment, Chen Ren thought the man was glaring directly at him. The intensity of his gaze felt like it could pierce through the crowd, locking him in place. But then, the man’s eyes shifted elsewhere, and he turned, disappearing into the throng of spectators without a second glance.
“What’s wrong?” Yalan asked, her voice laced with curiosity as she perched ...
Chapter 154
“Count Arzan, what do you think a king should strive for?” Duke Blackwood’s deep voice made Kai look up from the board in front of him, meeting his contemplating eyes. The Duke had his chin resting on his fingers. “To be loved? Or to be feared?”
The question echoed in the silent room, filling the quiet four corners. Slowly, Kai's focus shifted back to the bo...
Chapter 47
Chen Ren had planned to reach the main rounds of the tournament without much trouble, counting on the influence and recklessness of Cang Rui to clear his path. But he wasn’t naive. He knew that while the Cang Clan had power in Cloud Mist City, it didn’t hold much sway beyond its borders.
With cultivators from all over gathered for the competition, Chen Ren prepared...
Chapter 153
The world blurred into chaos the moment Amyra opened her eyes. Everything moved so fast it felt like she was trying to catch up with a story already halfway told. One moment, there was silence—her body heavy, her thoughts swimming through fog—and the next, the princess and her maid was standing over her, summoning Knight Killian and a group of maids with a voice sharp eno...
Chapter 46
The narrow gaze twisted into one of the ugliest glares Chen Ren had ever seen. The young master’s nose flared, but he tried to lighten the mood by saying whatever useless thing he had to say and laughing it off with his lackeys. A group of five men, two as tall as the Tang manor’s ceilings and three of the same height as Cang Rui. All of them were well-groomed men who scre...
Chapter 152
Kai’s stay with the barbarians was curt. Though he had won the Duel of Blood and earned their respect, he knew that the hard part was only beginning. Yafgar, the chieftain, seemed to see his vision—at least on the surface—but creating an alliance (a trusted one at that) of the magnitude he needed would take more than spilt blood and shared words.
They would need ...
Chapter 45
Chen Ren kept himself busy, splitting his time between training, learning new techniques, and working on the food he planned to sell during the tournament. Similarly, the city was too lively with activity. Merchants, cultivators, and spectators were eager for the upcoming grand event. He had already secured permission to set up a temporary noodle stall outside the arena, but h...
Chapter 151
For a minute, it felt like even the world was holding its breath. Yafgar’s face muscles tightened and made his eyes twitch. His brows furrowed and finally, an extremely sharp glare that could have cut air pointed at Kai.
Brugnar, who was next to the chieftain had his hand clutched-white-knuckled around the hilt of his dagger. He spat tobacco remains on the ground wi...
Chapter 44
The registration process was quick and easy. Once Chen Ren was done, he turned around and headed straight to meet Tang Xiulan. He wanted to talk about their plans for the upcoming tournament.
She had been single-handedly managing the noodle stall during his recent busy days. To his pleasant surprise, she had not only maintained their regular customer base but also mana...
Chapter 150
Kai hadn't been idle when it came to the barbarians. Their first encounter was tense, a powder keg waiting for a spark.
The chieftain's deep-set scowl and the warriors' intimidating stares had made it clear that a single wrong word could lead to bloodshed. For a brief, charged moment, Kai had considered unleashing his arrows over them. But the moment passed, replaced by so...
Over the next few days, Chen Ren’s body healed with a speed that defied his expectations. The ache in his muscles faded, the faint stings of pain in his ribs dissipated, and soon, he felt stronger than he had before the battle. It was as if the ordeal had tempered his flesh, sharpening him like a blade pulled from the forge. He wasn't surprised knowing pills were a miraculous cure in this wor...

Shakran’s eyes raked over the darkened marks marring the barely conscious man sprawled on the floor. The grey discolouration was spreading, slowly creeping across his body. He could feel the oppressive, ugly aura overtaking the man’s usual human essence.
Their gazes met. The man’s sclera was bloodshot, but Shakran knew it wasn’t just that—blood trickled from ...
Chapter 42
Cai Tao’s mention of Red Peak City caught Chen Ren off guard, but he was no stranger to adapting in the face of uncertainty.
The pure surprise in his eyes lasted barely a heartbeat before it vanished beneath his usual smile. It was a well-practiced buisness smile that came to him naturally. It wasn't genuine, but no one had caught it yet.
In a setting such as...
