Dual Cultivation

It all began in the year 2028. Billions slept as usual but woke up as nightmares abominations, grotesque and horrifying with the cravings for blood. Fortunately, a few woke up with inhuman abilities called talents but were too little to put an end to the terror of the nightmares and so humanity retreated into fenced cities we call the citadels! Seven years later, Levi, a high school dropout with a dying mother is called to face the trials ofthe dream world. He either survives and awakens a talent or fails and becomes a soulless nightmare. However, what difference does it make when the trials never end? Succeeding in one didn't guarantee escape from the fate of becoming a soulless nightmare.

The world buried Jayden Jian the night House Jian fell. It should have prayed he stayed dead. Years later, Jayden returns from a place no ordinary man could survive, carrying a power he never asked for and one promise he refused to break—to return to Mira Voss, the woman who saved his life when everyone else abandoned him. But Skyreach is no longer the home he remembers. His family name has been disgraced, his inheritance rests in the hands of traitors, and Mira has been reduced from a proud heiress to a chained servant, punished for refusing to betray him. Then a bruised little girl runs into his arms, clutches his robe and calls him Father. Jayden came home expecting a reunion. Instead, he finds a stolen legacy, a shattered family and enemies who still believe he is the helpless heir they once hunted. “You should have remained dead,” they warn him but Jayden only smiles. “You should have treated my family better.” The truth behind the destruction of House Jian reaches far beyond one traitor, and the power awakening within Jayden may decide the fate of Midgard itself. Yet before he can protect a realm, he must reclaim everything stolen from him—and remind Skyreach why some men are better left unprovoked. “You took my name, my home and the years I should have spent with my family.” His enemies laugh, believing one man cannot challenge the powers ruling Skyreach but Jayden’s answer is simple. “I did not return to challenge you.” “I returned to bury you.”

Fen Lian was an ordinary young man who was known as useless trash because he could not cultivate on his own among the others. Fen Lian was often insulted or alienated because, out of the many disciples, he was the only one who was slow in grasping knowledge. When the others advanced, he would only stay at the same level as before, with no improvement at all. Even though he had practiced regularly just like the others. But all that changed when he found an ancient book that he believed belonged to his father or grandfather in ancient times. The book contained ancient moves that were rarely learned by today's warriors. Thanks to studying the contents of the ancient book he found, Fen Lian is now a great cultivator because of the book he found. There was even one skill that Fen Lian had successfully mastered. It was called the Nine Sun Style, and it was known to be extremely difficult. It was so difficult that no one could master it. "I didn't expect that I could have this knowledge; it's fortunate that I met the ancient book that I had despised badly. Now it's actually very valuable to me," said Fen Lian while hugging the worn brown-bound book. "You'll see, I'll prove it to all those who have insulted me as a hobo. I'll make sure they bow in shame at my strength now!"

He died fighting for a stolen crown, only to wake up in a world frozen in time. Soren Flameheart spent thirty five years hiding his Royal bloodline, only to be executed in the shadows by the very men he trusted. Death should have been the end. Instead, he wakes up in the body of a weak, low tier dragon tamer in a distant future where ancient dragons lie trapped beneath massive glaciers and warring clans butcher each other for remaining scraps of magic. Armed with forbidden dragon soul techniques forgotten by time, Soren must rise from the lowest ranks of society. He will tame monsters, unite ruthless bloodlines, and reclaim his rightful throne before the frost eats what is left of the world.

The monochromatic colors of this world that I'm trapped with. The longing in my heart that wants to achieve a boundless color of life that fills someone with happiness. To the voice that whispers to me in the very corner of my room. Divulge with secrets that I don't know. Giving me joy from this sadness alone. The steps it gave beyond worlds. To embrace a new world of longing dream. To find something beyond happiness.  To achieve all this happiness. "I'll repress the old me and reach a new world filled with the smile I longed for."
