Year 1034 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Village central square
After eating, I cleaned the blood in the central square.
[Are you sure that you want to train here?] Maria
(Yes, I am not sure that I could focus in the farm) Linjian
I have too many memories there.
[...okay, lets begin then]
(I am ready)
[I would like to train your mind experience but it will have to wait until you are in a better condition]
Judging by my weakened body, it may take some time.
[For now we will see the skills that you awakened while working on your farm]
(Animal Whisperer, Earth Manipulation and Life Detection, right?)
[Yes, first lets start with Life Detection]
[Life detection detects every live being in a range of action that depends on its level, now say its name to activate it]
“Life Detection“
[10 MP CONSUMED]
With me as it center I could feel that its range is ten meters and inside it there were three bugs, two flying and one in the ground.
[Good, now try to do it without saying its name just think about it activating]
(Life Detection)
[20 MP CONSUMED]
This time the range is five meters and I could only detect one bug.
[When using a skill without speaking the strength of the skill will drop by half and its MP consumption will double]
[Lets continue with Earth manipulation]
(Alright)
[The Earth manipulation skill lets you move earth that is in contact with your body, but I recommend that you use your hands to better control]
I grab some dirt from the ground with my right hand.
[Try making it cover your hand, it will grant you the strength of both the dirt and mana]
“Earth Manipulation“
[3 MP CONSUMED]

The soil in my hand moves fast and in less that one second my hand is covered by a brown layer.
[The Earth Manipulation will continue to make effect until you want it canceled]
I walk to a two meters tall rock in the center of the square and hit it with my right fist.
*BOOOMMM*
[3 MP CONSUMED]
A crater appears covering half of it.
[The MP consumption is proportional to the quantity of earth used and minutes of use]
Again, my hand touches the ground and this time I visualize my arm covered in it.
“Earth Manipulation“
[15 MP CONSUMED]
This time the reinforce only cover till my elbow.
[That seems to be the limit of the level 2 skill, but don't worry that is why we are training now]
This skill will be my greatest weapon.
(Cancel Earth Manipulation)
The earth in my arm lost its support and falls.
[Now for the last skill we will have to get close to your horse]
I did as told and went to the horse in the barn.
[The Animal Whisperer skill lets you transfer thoughts to animals, they will understand it even without knowing any language]
I rode my horse and give him the message while activating the skill.
“Animal Whisperer“
(Bring me to the central plaza)
[20 MP CONSUMED]
He brings me there without the need to grab the rein.
[The MP consumed will be proportional to the number of words used, but have in mind that intelligent beings will block this skill unconsciously]
(What will happen when leveling up this skill?)
[It will allow you to manipulate their minds to a certain degree].
That sounds wrong, but I suppose it could be useful.
[Now, what skill would you like to train?]
There is only one skill that will let me defend myself.

[If MP reaches 0 you will a feel terrible headache, so it is best to take a break]
(How can I recover mana power?)
[The MP will only recover when you sleep]
(How many exactly?)
[It depends on several things but basically if you want to recover efficiently you just have to eat well and sleep regularly]
Well, I suppose I will take a nap now.
......
...
After a nap, I kept my training till the sunset.
[Linjian]
(Yes?)
I hear a serious tone from Maria.
[How do you expect to change this world?]
(...I really don't know, I lack the knowledge to change something)
[...]
(But that it is not the case for you)
[?]
(Please teach me)
[...]
(Teach me about your world, the world without cultivators)
[And then what will you do with that knowledge?]
Was she testing me? Should I say that I want a peaceful world or something like that?
....no.
Lying will not take me far, she and I share some of our soul. There will be no future if I cant trust her.
[...]
“This Village wasn't the only one to end like this“
I just have to say this.
“Every commoner in this empire knows that their city lord may come one day. To experiment with them, to take their children, to massacre them“
[...]
Even if she cant understand it.
“But even so, we can only follow them because the surrounding areas are full of spiritual creatures and only them can fight back“
[...]
I just cant live like this.
“Thousands of years have passed and nothing changes, we can only choose between monsters in a city or creatures outside of it“
[...]
I cant leave kids like Xue keep dying.
“This Book of Appraisal is the only light in a world of darkness, a light that Ziyun and Xue bestowed me“
For that reason I...
“I will smash this society to pieces and erase the cultivators from the history“
...
[Great answer]
It is the only answer.
[It will be a pleasure working with you]

Emperor of Solo Play
Year 2035. The virtual reality game, Warlord, changed the world. An Jaehyun was one of the many who wished to change his life through the game. After dedicating his life to the game, he was met with a betrayal. A betrayal by his comrades. As a result, he lost everything. But a chance was given to him. A chance to redo everything again! “I won’t play with others ever again. Whatever the outcome, I’ll show that I can do it alone.” Others rolled a die to split the spoils of victory. An Jaehyun ate it all by himself. It was the start of An Jaehyun’s solo game life.

8 202Cutting to Life: an NPC LitRPG (Battle Royale)
Nikola is an NPC in The World of Wills, a video game where players can feel sensations as if they were truly there. She leads a life of bloodshed and murder - that is, until one day she wakes up sapient. Just as she begins thinking real, non-scripted thoughts and making connections, she and the players in the game are told that if they die in the game, they die in real life - and it's time to get killing. But what of Nikola, the emerging AI consciousness? How does she win in a game that can only end in her being wiped from existence at the end of it all? - Updates Mondays and Fridays. Cutting to Life is a slow-burn LitRPG with a villainous (later anti-hero, or maybe still villainous, haha) female lead.It's told from the perspective of Nikola, an NPC within the World of Wills who's become sapient and is now mysteriously able to play the game as a PC. It's quite light for a LitRPG, but the system and stats become more of a focus later when Nikola herself can access them.The story gradually builds into a Battle Royale where the players' lives are on the line (if you die in the game, you die in real life), and only one party of savvy adventurers can win. They'll have to spend their time and stats wisely as dungeons promising rare gear float down from the sky - but is a legendary sword worth killing someone for, knowing they'll stay dead forever? - This story is told in third person, past tense.- This is a slow-burn LitRPG that spends a lot of time establishing its setting and characters, because I believe this will make for a better payoff in the end. As such, the Battle Royale doesn't start until chapter 30 or so.- Chapters are anywhere between 800 words and 3000 words long.- Book cover by Vixeona.Cutting to Life is also being posted on SPB and Scribble Hub.Thank you sincerely for reading.

I don't own the cover art and will gladly take it down should asked.

But there is a world where it caters this kind of want, a world where almost the wishes of those reincarnation lovers comes true. But in this story it mainly focuses in one high schooler who had a tragic accident that reincarnated him in this world. But, he has no magic, no powers, or anything. He only has his friends, his determination, and a renown warrior 'mother'
