scheming

I was once a professor on Earth. But for some unknown reason, my vision suddenly went blank and then everything went dark. When I opened my eyes again… I was here, in this world. At first, I just wanted to live a normal, peaceful life. But these damn people won’t let me be. They use “concern” for a blind clan member as an excuse to keep watching my every move. To monitor whether my blindness has anything to do with the Caged Bird Seal. And those old bastards? They’d probably silence me just to prevent any possible instability within the Hyūga clan. Fine. If you won’t let me live in peace… Then fuck with that Will of Fire. I’ll swallow Konoha little by little, until none of you can stop me anymore.

These enigmatic monuments, known as the Sacred Statues, held an extraordinary power: they could transmute people's deepest fears into extraordinary abilities. Someone terrified of heights found himself soaring to dizzying altitudes, confronting his darkest dread. Another, afraid of isolation, became invisible, doomed to be ignored by all.

Wen Mang is only a history UP host. Yet every time he posts a video, the people arguing in the comments are… Liu Bei. Guan Yu. Zhang Fei. Zhao Yun. Zhuge Kongming. A mysterious light curtain descends, replaying the true fate of the Three Kingdoms—unchanged, merciless, and brutally honest. Liu Bei watches his empire collapse and asks in disbelief: “Shu Han… ended like this? And even my statue was expelled from Wuhou Shrine?” Guan Yu sees himself drowned, defeated, deified—and used. “So this is how history remembers the Martial Saint?” Zhang Fei learns his own end and falls silent for a long, long time. “Is this really… all I amounted to?” Zhao Yun witnesses seven entries and seven exits become a legend— yet still cannot save the world he fought for. And Zhuge Kongming… He doesn’t ask about victory or defeat. He asks one question only: “If such a light curtain exists— can history be rewritten?” From military formations to aircraft carriers, from grain transport to industrial warfare, modern knowledge crashes into ancient ambition. Old regrets awaken. Unfinished oaths resurface. And once the heroes understand why they lost… Will they still accept the ending history gave them? When the curtain lights up again, the Three Kingdoms are already on a different path.

Khan wants to be a cultivator.  He promised his father he would become one. When the Awoken Moon Sect rejected him, they didn’t just deny him entry—they declared that he would never cultivate at all. In a world ruled by Qi, that sentence was final. Khan would live and die a peasant. At fifteen, stranded in the mud-choked alleys of Lunis City, Khan survives in a society where strength decides everything—and he has none. Until he learns a dangerous truth. In a world of immortal cultivators, power doesn’t only flow from fists and swords. It flows from dependency. Resources. Secrets. Supply chains. Favors that no sect can afford to lose. If Khan can’t cultivate, he’ll make himself indispensable. He begins walking a path no one warns him about—leveraging scarcity, exploiting ambition, and striking deals that place his life on the line. Every step forward costs him something. Every advantage paints a target on his back. This is a progression fantasy where growth is earned through strategy before strength, where cultivation is delayed, bought, stolen, and paid for in blood and compromise. A slow-burn rise from nothing. The story of a carp that dared to jump the Dragon Gate. Release Schedule: 1 chapter a day posted till the end of this month at 9:01 PM UTC + 4. After that, releasing on Fridays and Saturdays at 9:01 PM UTC + 4. Extra tags: Progression fantasy, Xianxia/cultivation, Slow burn, Fantasy, Weak to Strong, Survival, Strategy/Schemes(later on)
