Prologue: World of Cultivation
Every mortal dream of being a cultivator, every cultivator dream of being an immortal, and immortals never waste time dreaming, they only desire more. Immortals decide the fate of entire nations along with millions of lives with a flick of their fingers. Thus, they are worshiped by the puny mortals who lust for power and eternal lifespan.
What are cultivators? They are mortals who dream for everlasting life as they master their body, absorb the essence of heaven, practice the art of cultivation and comprehend martial skills. Cultivators can be both the reason why a war start and the reason they end if they are powerful enough. The status of clans and sects are based on how strong they are and how many cultivators they possess.
What are immortals? They can be considered gods who will never die to old age. But that doesn’t mean that they never die, the world of cultivators has existed since the beginning of humanity, and there are countless individuals who were labeled as immortals. Just so that they would perish later as they go missing for millions of years and the world would forget about them as if they never existed in the first place. Even after living so long, there are individuals who are still greedy and are always so prideful of their cultivation that can ultimately lead to their downfall.
Cultivators are ranked according to their cultivating stages and the stages are also categorized into different realms. After reaching the peak of their realm there will be a bottleneck and the difficulties of these bottleneck varies from people to people, some will never break through it in their entire life time while some will only take days.
In order for cultivators to get stronger they would need heavenly resources, cultivation methods, martial skills and most important of all they need talent. Talent means everything to a cultivator, if you are talented enough every sect will want you. If you are talented, every mortal will worship you and if you are talented enough then you may even reach the apex of the world of cultivators and rule the world.

Talent in the world of cultivators are measured in many different ways but there are 2 main ways. Cultivation level will always be how cultivators are judged, if a 10-year-old child can enter the stage of an apprentice he can be considered average.
The second way of measuring how talented a person is through their comprehension, a talented cultivator would be able to cultivate a complicated cultivation method or master a martial skill within days. While a Genius can further improve the skills, and can even make the skill reach the next rank. Son or Daughter of Heaven would be able to combine different cultivation skill and create a brand-new skill that is stronger than the original.
Talented individuals are fated to shine in the world of cultivators. However, many geniuses have appeared but how many of them has actually reach the end? How many will become immortals? How many would live long enough to rule the world with an iron fist? The world of cultivators is shrouded by bloodshed and many geniuses will fall, flying too close to the sun and thinking they were invincible.
Just because you are talented doesn’t mean you are invincible, just because you are strong doesn’t mean you won’t be die. Some people are simply just frogs in the well and every last one of them don’t last very long due to their arrogance.
In the world of cultivation anything is possible, there have been cultivators that have created their own empires that will last millions of years or created new plane of existence and even creating a world where they themselves are gods.
However, wherever you go in this world, you will always hear of the one rumor that known to all, one that is feared and worship by all and one that can determine the fate of nations. The rumor is the prophecy of the human race, that one day a hero would be born and not only would he be the human’s only hope against the disaster that is hiding in the darkness of the world. Every single cultivator dream to be the hero of the prophecy and every sect and clan desire to have him to lead them and help them rise to become one of the strongest.

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.

They all breath, grow and influence their surroundings in their own right.Join Teo, a bright young boy with a gift for Arcane Magic, through his journey to tackle the Elements, master his Craft and climb to the very peak of magic itself.Who will he meet, friends or foes? Trusted companions or bitter rivals? Will he be able to find his answer and get to the real meaning of magic, all while wrestling with the complex laws of nature and his own unripe emotions?There is only one way to find out.The story will start with a few chapters of introductions in volume 1 to establish the characteristics and the nature of the world the characters live in. After that, it will probably become a lot more fast-paced and incorporate real story progression. My goal is to fuse the common magic advancement system in a weak-to-strong fashion, together with elements of naturalism, magic combat action and little bits and pieces of science, wherever necessary, to form a bright and interesting story about a boy chasing his dreams about magic.
