NO_NAME1412
When Gu An was just a servant, he accidentally broke a pot containing a spiritual flower. In his fear and panic, he discovered that he had actually seized twelve years of lifespan from it! From that moment on, a path to immortality stretched out before Gu An! To cultivate immortality peacefully, Gu An chose to become a menial disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, tending to medicinal herbs every day and seizing their lifespans to further his cultivation. Through lifespan evolution, his basic cultivation techniques continually transformed, eventually evolving from simple foundational arts into divine abilities capable of reaching the heavens! Eras passed, stars shifted, and the mortal world experienced countless changes. Eventually, legends of immortals began to spread among humanity. Gu An, now revered as an immortal, spent half of his lifespan to transcend the limits of the immortal path, achieving the realm of a Saint, rising above the Heavenly Dao itself. However, one day, a white-robed elder, exuding an aura of immortality, came to visit Gu An. "This humble Taoist is the Star Lord of Xuanqing in the heavens. The Great Emperor Taihao has heard of the virtuous deeds you have done in the mortal realm—your repeated efforts to save countless lives, accumulating immeasurable merit. The Emperor has sent me down to summon you to join the ranks of the immortals and assume the position of Immortal Officer, Heavenly Horse Guardian." Gu An asked, "May I inquire, what are the duties of the Heavenly Horse Guardian?" "The Heavenly Court possesses divine steeds capable of traversing the heavens and earth, entering and exiting the realms of yin and yang. The role of the Heavenly Horse Guardian is to tend to and feed these divine steeds." Hmm? Tend to horses? ____________________ You can read advance chapters of this novel and other novels in my patreon patreon.com/NO_NAME1412

BOUND BY WORLDS

Akira and Hayato had been inseparable since first year of highschool—two idiots who laughed at the same jokes, shared the same snacks, and gamed until their eyes burned. But lately… things had changed. Ever since Hayato started dating Ayase, his time had been split like a thin sheet of paper. Akira wasn’t jealous—at least that’s what he told himself—but the silence in his room felt heavier than it used to. Then the news hit.A serial killer roaming their neighborhood.Curfews suggested. Phones buzzing with warnings But that night, Akira sat alone, controller in hand, anime running softly in the background. He wasn’t really paying attention; he was just killing time. Then he spotted movement from his window—Hayato heading home with that tired walk he always had after long dates. Akira couldn’t help but smile. Finally, a chance to talk.He rushed downstairs and caught up to him. “Dude, you should NOT be outside right now,” Hayato scolded, eyes wide. “Go home. Seriously.” But Akira shook his head with that stubborn grin. “It’s been two weeks. I’m walking with you. Halfway. You can’t stop me.” Hayato sighed in defeat, but his eyes softened. “Fine… but only halfway.” And for a while, it felt like old times. They joked. They teased. They filled the empty space that had grown between them.For those few blocks, everything was right again.But when they reached the point where they normally split paths, the night shifted. The street was too quiet. The air too heavy. The shadows too thick. “Alright… I guess this is—” Hayato began. A sound cut him off. Fast. Sharp. Wrong. Akira barely had time to turn.A glint of steel.A blur of movement.Pain that stole his breath.He collapsed first.Hayato screamed his name—but the serial killer was already on him too. Two best friends. Two final breaths. Two lights fading out in the cold dark.Yet death wasn’t the end. When Akira’s consciousness returned, he woke to unfamiliar skies… unfamiliar air… and an unfamiliar body. Long hair. A smaller frame.A girl’s voice escaping his lips. Meanwhile, Hayato awoke not too far away, still himself—but in a world filled with magic, beasts, and kingdoms straight out of the games they used to play together.Two best friends. Reborn.
