From Death To Martial God

"If I had one more lifetime... just one more... I would return stronger. I would tear down the heavens themselves.” Joseph Arlington, a 29-year-old American dying of cancer, finds escape in the pages of wuxia novels. His favorite story is about Wei Shen, a powerful martial cultivator betrayed on the night of his wedding and slain by his own sect. Before death, Wei Shen makes a vow for revenge, and the celestial beast Tiangou, guardian of the Southern Gate of Heaven, grants it—sending him 500 years into the past to cultivate strength and seek revenge. As Joseph finishes the novel, he receives devastating news: his treatment has failed. With no hope left, he makes a final, silent wish—to be reborn in a world like the one he cherished in fiction. He dies with that thought in his heart. But instead of fading into nothingness, Joseph awakens—young, strong, and not entirely himself. He has become the reincarnated Wei Shen, his soul fused with the very man whose story once moved him. Now, two lives and two minds share one path. Thrown into a world of sects, cultivators, and ancient powers, Joseph joins the Sect of the Returning Soul, where death is treated as a path to enlightenment. As he trains in a rare martial system that balances creation and destruction, he begins to experience memories of Wei Shen’s pain and betrayal. The boundary between who he was and who he is now begins to blur. As his cultivation deepens, Joseph realizes his presence is altering the timeline. Forgotten enemies resurface, factions begin to move differently, and the truth behind Wei Shen’s original betrayal may not be what the the story—claimed. Something far older, and far more dangerous, is pulling the strings. To survive, Joseph must master the Cycle of Reversion, unlock the power of the fallen Shen Clan, and rise beyond vengeance to become something greater. Along the way, he will forge bonds, fight rival cultivators, question the nature of justice, and discover that revenge alone may not be enough. But one thing is certain: when the heavens finally tremble beneath his feet, the world will know that from death... a Martial God has risen. **Cover art is not mine, found it in Pinterest, comment in the latest chapters for removal ( IF YOU LIKE PLEASE ADD TO LIBRARY, GIVE SOME POWER STONES AND DROP A REVIEW.

I Die to Become a Legend

Adam begins as an ordinary high school student whose life is shattered when his parents vanish. The police later declare their deaths a double suicide, a conclusion Adam refuses to accept. His persistent quest for a real investigation leads him into a dark conspiracy when two corrupt police officers kidnap, torture, and murder him. In his final moments, they reveal his parents were also murdered by an untouchable, powerful entity. Instead of dying permanently, Adam awakens with a new reality: he has been granted a 'System' and the supernatural ability of 'Return by Death,' forcing him to relive his final days. Confused, Adam tries to confide in his trusted teacher, only to be betrayed and killed once again. This time, he learns the staggering reason for his persecution: a $100 million bounty has been placed on his head, making everyone a potential enemy. Dying again and again is horrible. The pain changes Adam completely. The sad, normal boy he once was is gone. He becomes a cold and ruthless killer. He trusts no one. If he even suspects someone might be a threat, he will kill them without a second thought. His only goals are to survive this deadly game and get revenge for his parents. During one of his loops, while investigating, Adam crosses paths with a female classmate being tormented by bullies. He saves her in a moment of detached action and quickly forgets the incident, focused only on his own war. For the girl, however, this act of salvation ignites an intense and devoted love. This devotion becomes a tragic and recurring element in his nightmare. The girl, willing to do anything for him, repeatedly throws herself in harm's way to protect him, often dying in his place across multiple loops. Adam is now trapped not only in a fight against a vast conspiracy but also in a cycle of watching an innocent person die for him, further cementing his transformation into a hardened protagonist who has lost nearly everything, including his own humanity.

My Hollow System

If the end of the world had a "Do Not Press This Button" sign, humanity ignored it. Loudly. Let me guess you think a virus that wipes out most of civilization, turns people into rage-fueled monsters with claws, and leaves the rest hiding in ruins while secret organizations fight over the leftovers sounds like a bad time? Congratulations, you’re absolutely right. The Eclipse Strain was supposed to be humanity’s next big leap. Faster healing, smarter brains, stronger bodies the whole superhero starter pack. Instead, it turned most people into Hollowed: screeching, bone-snapping nightmares with a vendetta against everything with a pulse. Nice, right? Elias Mercer should’ve been monster chow. Instead, he leveled up. Immune to the virus, stronger than a Hollowed, and with a mysterious voice in his head (don’t worry, it’s digital... probably), he’s the first successful mutation. Translation: he's got a glowing bullseye on his back. Now Elias is being hunted by: Viratech, the shady megacorp that created the virus, Black Sun, a cult-like faction with way too many guns and secrets, And others like him, not all of whom still remember how to blink without trying to kill you. He’s got a body that keeps mutating, a System that grants him abilities (and conveniently forgets to mention side effects), and a past full of secrets he doesn’t even know he’s part of. The world is falling apart, everyone wants a piece of him, and Elias just wants to stay alive long enough to find out: What the virus really is, Who really started all this, And whether becoming humanity’s last hope means losing what’s left of his humanity. Oh, and did I mention there’s a war coming? Monsters. Mutations. Mystery. And maybe,just maybe something worth saving at the end of it all. Because this isn’t the end of the world. It’s the beginning of something else. And Elias Mercer? He’s the glitch in the apocalypse nobody planned for.
