Long Chao, son of a hedge-mage heretic cultivator who cultivates out of curiosity rather than power, meets Xiao Huifen — a once-in-a-generation prodigy from a top-ranked sect aiming to become the youngest Sky Realm cultivator on the Monolith continent. When Huifen is injured hunting a spirit beast, Chao saves her and later follows her back to her sect to walk the orthodox path alongside his unorthodox foundation. The duology follows their intertwined ascent through strict sect methodologies, ancient ruins, a divine spire in the north, and the Divine Flying Tiger Clan Trials, blending cultivation, elemental laws, romance, and philosophies of justice vs mercy.
War is coming, and the government accelerates its super-soldier program with Codename: Freedom — a VRMMO that pushes virtual reality to the ultimate level, with 100% pain and no dampeners. Semipro gamer Lucius, raised by his AI companion Destiny, is selected alongside other recruits and thrown into a live-broadcast crucible: surviving week one, training under a living legend for the goblin siege, unlocking strange abilities in a race to the top, carrying hard-won experience onto a futuristic battlefield against enlisted psionics, and ranking up through Vanguard and Dragonslayer as Earth's preparation grinds on. An Epic LitRPG that began on Royal Road. (Compiled from verified Goodreads volume descriptions.)
A thousand-year-old succubus, tired of devouring men, invents with a lich lord a new spell to grow powerful differently.
