From the moment Wei Wushang took his first breath, misfortune clung to him like a dark shadow. The world deemed him a curse, a demon, a sinner. But to Wei Wushang, these words were meaningless, for he had always known who he was. Since the day he embraced solitude and learned to savor it, he has walked his own path, in his own way, in accordance with his own feelings. Though stumbling as he may, he has walked it regardless. Make no mistake, this is not a tale of heroism or redemption. This is the rise of an individual who will commit the most heinous of deeds in his relentless pursuit of eternal life. The world may be a cruel place, but he will be crueller still. -------------- Author's Note: •The main character is certainly not a moral person, but he isn't a total Machiavellian archetype either. The term 'total' is important here because our MC is very a selfish individual with no qualms for evil. He has plenty of emotions, there just placed in another direction. •As mentioned in the tags, there will be no harem. As for whether the MC will have a love interest, no, as it will conflict with the personality I have in mind for him. •The narration in the book can be a bit preachy, especially in the beginning. I'm sorry about that. •Chapter updates: No idea how often I'll release. Could be once a week, a day, or even a month. I've written three books before this one, and I've dropped all of them. I won't promise this time will be any different. If you're willing to take the risk and read, great. If not, that's perfectly fine too.
Dark events occuring in Sadie's life will cause her skills tree to awaken and sprout with stats as long as she's able to cultivate them properly. #antihero #litrpg #progression ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Deep within the dilapidated Sinclair district of the city, amidst the crumbling remnants of a nameless temple, an intrepid archaeologist delved into its ancient catacombs. He unearthed an otherworldly artifact near one of the sealed coffins—a muddied relic emanating an eldritch aura that stirred unease in his excited heart. Upon peeling the layers, he found it to be a vase crafted from porcelain and jade and identified strange writings on its side. With each careful stroke, more details unraveled. The letters were that of a forgotten tongue, seemingly appertaining to an extinct civilisation, but what was clear is that it was wrought by a master's hands. Then suddenly, the dark of the cave seemed to spread, as the archaeologist attempted to escape the encroaching darkness that seemed to materialize from naught, a desperate fumble caused the artifact to slip from his grasp. The precious vase, steeped in the weight of forgotten wisdom, tumbled through the air, its delicate form shattering upon impact with the jagged rocks. In that fateful moment, a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors and pulsating energies burst forth, dispersing through the atmosphere. as if a rainbow pierced the heavens and rain poured forth on unwitting denizens. The city's population inhaled the strange color particles, their very essence became entwined with the mystical forces unleashed. Thus, a metamorphosis unfolded—a phenomenon that bestowed upon the citizens a tapestry of extraordinary powers, each intricately tied to the primal instincts of the animal kingdom. Some found themselves endowed with awe-inspiring abilities, harnessing the strength of lions or the agility of cheetahs. Yet, amongst the transformed throngs, a young woman named Sadie awoke to a different reality. As the veil of slumber lifted from her weary eyes, Sadie discovered herself transformed into Sloth Girl—a being defined not by raw power, but by an unparalleled languor that seemed to stretch time itself. While others were psyched in their newfound might, Sadie found herself sedated of care, a somnolent haze permeating her every fiber. She had gained the knowledge that when a civilisation collapses, spirits reincarnate in other lifeforms and all had to be redone again. Dreading such a restart from scratch. Her purpose became to slow the frantic pace of a world always rushing headlong towards its own ruin. The weight of her eternal existence and the burden of time's unending flow tested her resolve. She wished to understand the true purpose behind evolution and sought to unravel the mysteries of the relic as a gateway to learn the secrets animating her strange universe. Hoping that one day, she will gain respite from the eternal cycle of chaos and creation.

Yi Chang lived his life a sentient treasure born from chaos and cosmos essence, born not from the yin-yang of male and female but from the yin-yang of chaos and cosmos of the Endless World, such people are usually known as the child of heaven. But he was betrayed by the heavens and was killed by then heavenly tribulation and attack from his friends. Only for him to find out after his death that he wasn't the Endless World child of heaven but was born from the chaos and cosmos of non-existence-existence the in-between of multiverses but he was forcefully bonded by endless world as hers as for the reason, he couldn't tell. Now he has reincarnated on the blue planet which seem without cultivators. Read as he cultivates while standing against the heavenly dao. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Yi Chang closed his eyes and slowed his breathing, letting the calmness of meditation settle over him. His thoughts turned inward, focusing on the technique he had been so eager to try since his return to this lower earthen plane—the Chaos-Cosmos Coherent Cultivation Technique. This was no ordinary cultivation technique. It was his creation, birthed from the deepest mysteries of the universe itself. As he delved deeper into his dantian, he felt the spiritual qi of the world stir around him. Though, it was faint, almost laughably weak too weak even for a low level spiritual plane compared to the Endless World's abundance, yet it responded to him. He began drawing it through his meridians, guiding the flow with practiced precision. The qi was get compressed and transforming the moment it reached his dantian, converting into something far more potent—cosmos-chaos qi. This new qi was unlike anything he had ever encountered before, even in the Endless World. There, as a child of heaven, he had been able to absorb any form of qi—be it elemental, chaotic, or divine. But this...this was different. The cosmos-chaos qi accepted every form of energy and seems like it could be transformed into any form of energy, merging and refining it into a purer state of existence, a limitless potential that extended beyond the boundaries of what even the heavens allowed. In this moment of realization, Yi Chang could feel the essence of his new identity. He was no longer simply a reincarnated soul or a previous child of heaven. He was an existence born from non-existence and a non-existence from existence—an entity that transcended the limitations of the universe something he doesn't truly understand. This paradoxical nature made him something neither Heaven nor Earth could fully contain.
