ARKSTORM

"Was he a man dreaming he was a butterfly? Or a butterfly dreaming he was a man?" For a century, the continent of Laurasia has been a sepulchre of ash. What was once a tranquil expanse of kingdoms and emerald forests is now a Demonic Hell, usurped by the Demon Legion. Skeletons and carcasses are the only harvest in lands where humanity once thrived. Now, the few remaining bastions of mankind flicker like dying embers against an encroaching, eldritch night. In the heart of this chaos, within the high walls of the Capital, lies the Sanctus Sanctum—the supreme echelon of Mageia and the iron fist of the Magis' Guild. Seraph was the Sanctum’s ghost. A lowly orphan whose family was slaughtered by the swarm, he lived as a frail Acomage, bullied to the brink of death by noble-born magis who used "Mageia duels" as a veil for cruelty. After a ruthless assault left him broken and coughing up poisoned blood in a desolate infirmary, the boundaries of the multiverse fractured. A mysterious soul from a dark dimension—ancient, cunning, and lethal—has merged with the dying youth. Two fates, forged into a single, unstoppable entity. Now, the boy who once fled in terror has awakened with eyes that see the hidden truths of the world—one Gold, one Azure. He possesses a knowledge of the Macrocosmic that defies the ancient laws of the Magis' Guild. Seraph is no longer the victim cowering in the shadows. He is the master of a power that even the Demon Legion will come to fear. From the blood-stained halls of the Sanctum to the frontlines of the Great War, he will not just survive. He will become the cataclysm that ends it. The butterfly has awakened from its dream. And it has brought the Storm. (⌐■_■)

The Protagonist:Holyug Online

Escapism is not just about running away from reality; rather, it's about creating a better, more tolerable reality. *** Alex Buolin has dreamt of being a protagonist ever since he watched the Japanese show Blade Art Online. Though if you were to ask him, he wouldn't be able to give a simple, definite reason as to why he does so. B.A.O. was a show about people being trapped in the VR game they were playing—a show filled with action, adventure, and characters that Alex fell in love with. Inspired by the premise of Blade Art Online, Alex created his very own VR game: Holyug Online. Except, instead of being unwillingly trapped by the Game Master, he himself is the Game Master. And on the day of the official launch, he took the major step—an irreversible move that'd influence many people in their respective ways. Ding! NOTIFICATION As of 28.6.2028 20:12, the [Log out] function has been temporarily removed. The function will be restored after the final floor (Floor 50) has been cleared. Until then, no player will exit the game alive. Additionally, the amount of 10 Cheng will be withdrawn daily from your [Balance] as a form of daily tax. Failure to accumulate the sum will lead to immediate extermination. We, CAL2, wish you a wonderful playthrough as you explore and live in the adventurous world of The Brand New World: Holyug Online. GOOD LUCK With this message, the stage was finally set. Ready to establish himself as the protagonist figure within the game, Alex began reaping the fruits of his hard work. —At least, that should've been the case. *** These are the contents you can expect to find: • Two male leads. (The other male lead appears in chapter 3.) • Progression. • Strong MC, but not THAT overpowered. • Tower climbing with each floor having a challenge of its own. • Fantasy world with a game-like setting...obviously, because the story technically takes place inside a game. • Interesting guild politics. • Adventure genre in future chapters. (around ch. 150–300) • Some memorable but not quite lovable characters.(of course, it depends on the reader) • Enjoyable action scenes as well as a simple yet unique power system. • The first two chapters may be a bit slow, but please—it gets better. *** Warning: This novel contains sensitive topics that might be uncomfortable for some readers. I'll try my best to use these topics for storytelling purposes only, but caution is still advised. Also, quick P.S.: My naming sense kinda sucks.

Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

[WPC DEC & JAN 2023 [Fantasy] WINNER!] -------------------- Discord link--https://discord.gg/9gxbPb6Gqb ------------------ In the middle of nowhere, where there was no beginning nor end, a voice echoed, shaking the space a little. “NO!!! This was not why I died; I have to go back. Fu—.” Noah, who was the god in a magical world, dies at the hand of a weak mage. It seemed everything was under his control, but he panicked when his plans seemed to have fallen apart because of the interference of an unknown entity. Reborn in the body of a 14-year-old boy, Noah cursed his fate; he was in a completely different world where Qi is used instead of magical power. Noah did not lose hope and used his trump card, and something weird happened with it too. He looked at the fairy in front of him looking back without any emotions on her face. She gave him a mountain of gold while claiming. “Here, take it all, because from now on, ‘I am your Sugar Mommy~!’” … Noah was speechless at her exclamation; his eyes resembled those of a dead person. ‘I, The Mage god feared by all, got a sugar mommy….’ ---------------------- Additional tags: Character Building, Smart MC does not care about the beauty of a woman. Killing, a new type of face-slapping (only used on special people), and fast-paced. ---------------------- Show your lovely support if you like the story! How can you show your support?
