In the modern world, qi is money. The days of traveling martial artists and mountaintop masters are over. Power is controlled by corporations, modernized martial arts sects, and governments. Those at the bottom of society struggle as second class citizens in a world in which power is a commodity. Rick is a young fighter who doesn't dream of immortality or becoming the strongest — just of building a better life for himself and his sister, who suffers from a spiritual illness. But in a society where qi (lucrium/lucrim) is currency and advancement is bought, corporate-sponsored tournaments, job tiers, and wilderness trials force Rick through relentless, quantified cultivation progression from the streets to the global elite.

The Weirkey Chronicles follows Theo's second life as he rebuilds his soulhome and uncovers the secrets of inter-dimensional travel.
Kai is the hardest working warrior in his generation and the unluckiest. In a world where most people receive magical skills, classes, or cultivation, Kai has nothing but his wits and his strength. Savage monsters pour endlessly from the wasteland threatening civilization, and only those gifted with destined powers are believed able to make a difference. Hungry to matter, Kai forges a new path against fate — embracing a monstrous nature, saving his city from incursion, navigating the City State of Krysal's corrupt advancement markets, and venturing to the demon-haunted continent of Rosemount with uneasy allies. A progression LitRPG that blends Chinese wuxia/xianxia cultivation (qi) with Indian chakra and western systems.
