ARC 1 - Uncut Pearl Blue
淺沿露氏 (QianYan'lu Sect) | "Light (color) riverside dew"
The starting locale and essentially home base.
"Instead of thriving off the rich FengShui on top of mountains, common for many cultivation sects in MingSi, QianYan’lu sect was built in the middle of a meadow and lake. This resulted in a coalescence of waterfalls and rivers that bordered the two kingdoms. QianYan’lu operated under one sect leader, but it was divided and portioned off into 10 small quadrants. Outside of eating and sporting events, each disciple kept close to their master when it came to their living quarters." (Uncut Pearl Blue, Chapter 1)
吳情攬 (Wu Qinglan) | Surname Wu, "Passion", "To take on (responsibility, etc.)"
Sect Leader; Shen QuanLi's Older Martial Brother
Introduced: Chapter 1
The wealthy head of QianYan'lu who strives for luxury. Overbearing and proud in personality and expects a lot from his younger martial siblings.
"Before he could say come in or go away, for any matter, a man, who appeared to be in his thirties entered the room with the confidence that he owned the place. Dark ink hair billowed behind him, and so did the vibrant sheen of silver and pearl blue fabric. The man wore white gold bracers and jewelry that enunciated wealth and had a headpiece that tied all his hair into a topknot." (Uncut Pearl Blue, Chapter 1)
ARC 2 - YangSu Village
洋蘇村 (Yangsu Village) | "Sage"
The setting of the first mission. A small countryside village in Laixu.
“Repairs for the temple.” The village chief bowed her head, “All the men and youth in the village have left, and there’s no longer any substantial labor force in our village. We think it’s due to the god of prosperity’s temple caving in, just earlier this month.” (Chapter 2, YangSu Village (I)).

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

8 96Shadow in the Snow
To live in a circus, to run away to one; this is the dream of many. The shining lights and the music and the cheering of the crowds are appealing to some. How little they know! This is the story of two brothers who were raised in a circus. One, a slave to the Master -- his most brilliant performer and a boy of pure white who has never been allowed to see the sun, nor feel the grass beneath his feet, nor the touch of rain upon his skin. The other, a slave to his brother -- a guardsman, trapped there not by chains but by love and loyalty. When fate proves unexpectedly kind to them on an otherwise cruel day, they find themselves free along with the girl they have been raised with and must find their way in a broken world, all the while being hunted without pause and without mercy. The Master has lost his prize. He is determined to reclaim it.

En el mundo existen... las maldiciones. Personas que murieron de las peores formas posibles se ven transformadas en estas maldiciones que no recuerdan nada de su vida pasada y invaden al primer humano que ven. El humano, invadido por la maldición ahora tendrá dos cometidos... la obligación de la maldición y el castigo de la obligación. El castigo de la maldición puede variar al igual que la obligación.La obligación es el pedido que la maldición hace a su huesped para que este no tenga que soportar el castigo de la misma. La única forma de hacer que una maldición desaparezca es cumpliendo su deseo, que es diferente a su obligación. El deseo es algo que ni la maldición misma sabe, y el humano tendrá que averiguar este deseo, desconocido para las mismas maldiciones. Este será el deseo más fuerte que tuvieron antes de morir.Nuestro protagonista se ve capaz de relacionarse con las maldiciones, lo que significa que es capaz de hablar con ellas... cosa que otros no pueden. ¿Qué oculta?
