The young girl had accidentally left her book behind, and the professor picked it up meaning to send it on to her. But then he looked inside and discovered it was no ordinary book. It was a school textbook on magic. Could it be real? Could it have actually been left by accident and found by chance? Or was it all an elaborate hoax played on the unsuspecting professor?

Prince of Nightmares: Banished to Hell With a System

Prince of Nightmares: Banished to Hell With a System

After being cast to the depths of hell just for being born 'wrong,' Lokus was beaten down and trampled upon in its unforgiving lands, where power was everything. And for someone with no power like him? He was stuck at the bottom of the food chain. But his heart burned with a vengeance and a desire to show the world just how big of a mistake it had made in pushing him aside, to make those who had cast him down regret that they had ever looked down upon him. Amidst his suffering, the Phantom Monarch System answered his call for vengeance. Now armed with the opportunity to tear down those who stood above him, he begins his ascent to the top of the world, to cast down the ones who have thrown him away and make them rue the day they had ever thought themselves his betters. His so-called parents? He would show them what it meant to be worthless. The man who had banished him? Lokus would crush him under a torrent of ice. Those who had shunned him, scorned him, hated him? He would repay their hatred back tenfold. During his crusade, the words of a prophecy loom to his back all the while, its words haunting and its fulfillment fast approaching. "Dread thrice-shunned's rise heralds death. Broken kingdoms, shattered bonds, Reducing the waning light to but a distant whisper. Under sin, the daughter births a kindred spirit Tolling the war of void and stars for power nearest. Sinful winter shall clash with righteous sand, Inching towards an eclipse. Death heralds the end, the end heralds the beyond." ........ Readers will learn about the world as Lokus does. However, if you have questions and I deem them okay to answer without spoiling anything, I'll be more than happy to reply. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for Lokus to learn about them. The power system is inspired by both cultivation novels and rpgs, and the world itself by several fantasy books I loved growing up. If you like gritty scenes, systems, no harems, and struggles between good and evil, this might be the story for you.

The Scrummy Bummy Lore

The Scrummy Bummy Lore

In the infantile state of a new universe were many creatures in their starting phase, one of which was a juice pouch and straw that would challenge any vegetables from the cabbage patch to a round of fisticuffs, ultimately overcoming them and absorbing their power, thus, it became formidable and left behind an entire and complete heritage behind. This being was later known to be none other but...The Succ Sage. The self named Genius Gang, a group of intellectuals with knowledge far beyond the norm of this infantile universe then began to rise and found this heritage, allowing them to begin their ascent to the higher realms. The Scrummy Bummy Lore is an incomprehensive, shortened archive of the real events that the Genius Gang went through on their path. Translator's Note: As the best translator in the world, it is easy to assume that my translation will be complely on point, however, the Scrummy Bummy Lore, being written in the language of the Gods, was far too complex for even a genius like I to translate fully, as I, just like you, am a mere mortal. Please do read this novel with an open mind, keeping in mind that not only are there multiple meanings that we do not understand, but also many that can eventually be understood through comprehensive thought. I myself feel as though I have matured as not just a person, but as an entity in this vast universe that we call our home after reading this novel. In short, I must say that if the human race ever evolves to the point where we can incorporate the Scrummy Bummy Lore into our national curriculum as the most significant subject, I can die knowing that humanity shall live on to achieve great things.

What kind of spirit root is a dark spirit root?

Spiritual roots were the natural attributes of immortal cultivators in novels. In immortal cultivation novels, spiritual roots were divided into five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Dark spiritual roots were a relatively special type of spiritual root. Its characteristic was that the cultivation speed was extremely slow, and it was difficult to cultivate to a high realm. The existence of the dark spirit root was due to the imbalance of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which led to the production of some special spirit roots. Cultivators with dark spiritual roots needed to spend more time and energy to cultivate. At the same time, they needed to find special cultivation methods and resources to improve their cultivation speed and realm. In the novels, cultivators with dark spiritual roots were often discriminated against and rejected by other cultivators because their cultivation speed was slow and it was difficult for them to reach a high realm. It was also difficult for them to establish themselves in the cultivation world. However, there were also some cultivators with dark spirit roots who became powerful immortal cultivators through their own efforts and opportunities, proving that dark spirit roots were not useless. In the novel "Mortal Cultivation Legend", the main character Han Li was a cultivator with dark spirit roots. Through his own hard work and luck, he cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage and became a powerful Immortal Cultivator.

Is the heavenly spirit root superior or the penta spirit root superior?
1 answer
2024-10-22 12:43
Five spirit roots are superior. In cultivation novels, the five spiritual roots referred to the spiritual roots of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Because these spiritual roots had average attributes, their cultivation speed would be slower than that of a single attribute spiritual root. However, due to the good balance, the selection of cultivation techniques was also high. On the other hand, the Heaven Spiritual Root was a spiritual root of a single attribute. Although the cultivation speed was very fast, it also had the disadvantage of a single attribute, and the selection of cultivation techniques was relatively low. Therefore, the penta spirit root was superior. While waiting for the TV series, he could also click on the link below to read the classic original work of " The Legend of Mortal Cultivation "!

1 answer
2024-10-21 11:24
In online literature, single spiritual roots and five spiritual roots were common cultivation aptitudes. Generally speaking, a single spiritual root was considered better than five spiritual roots because it represented that a cultivator had higher talent and potential on a single attribute spiritual root. The following are the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of single and five spiritual roots: 1. Single spiritual root: - [Special traits: Single-attribute spiritual roots, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, etc.] - [Strengths: Fast cultivation speed, able to condense spiritual power faster and increase cultivation.] At the same time, cultivators with a single spiritual root had a higher affinity and comprehension of spells and cultivation methods of a single attribute, and could easily master and execute these spells and cultivation methods. - [Disadvantages: A single-attribute spirit root also means that the cultivator will be weaker in spells and cultivation techniques of other attributes, and will need to spend more time and energy to make up for it.] In addition, spiritual roots of a single attribute were easily restrained by spells and cultivation techniques of other attributes, requiring cultivators to have higher combat wisdom and adaptability. 2. Five Spirit Veins: - [Special characteristic: Spiritual Roots of all five attributes are available and evenly distributed.] - [Strengths: Five-spirit Vein cultivators have balanced abilities in all aspects and have no obvious shortcomings.] At the same time, cultivators with penta spirit veins could also cultivate spells and cultivation techniques of various attributes, which would provide them with greater adaptability and flexibility. - [Disadvantages: The cultivation speed of penta spirit veins is relatively slow, and it requires more time and energy to cultivate.] In addition, cultivators with penta spirit veins would also be weaker in single-attribute spells and cultivation techniques. They would need to spend more time to make up for it. Generally speaking, there were advantages and disadvantages to single spirit root and penta spirit root. There was no absolute difference between good and bad. A cultivator should choose a suitable aptitude for cultivation based on their personality, preferences, and cultivation goals.
