《Magic and Martial War God》Dao, Primal chaos, and the Universe
Advertisement
Johnny entered a dark space; he could see nothing but darkness. He pinched his cheeks to make everything clear saying "This is not a dream."
He was very calm at the moment. He walks here and there, suddenly a white light flashes in front of him. Having so much curious thought his mind, he walked towards White light while clenching his fist. After he took a few steps, he felt the ground is shaking and something is coming out.
He swallowed saliva, looking very nervous at the moment. In front of him, ground breaks and two altars appeared. He previously had many thoughts in his mind, when he saw the altar he blanked out for a moment. Then suddenly some words appeared in front of him floating in the air.
"Congratulation for becoming Owner of Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone"
Without waiting for Johnny to get surprised another text appeared.
"Dao create Primal chaos, Primal chaos creates the Universe, and the Universe creates everything. Heaven and Earth, Dao is Supreme"
"Is that black stone really a Supreme treasure?" First Johnny got surprised but then became doubtful, why such treasure chose him as Owner. He didn't know anything about Dao or Primal Chaos; the only thing he knows is this is a great treasure that contains space inside of it.
"Yes," While Johnny was thinking, the word appeared in front of him.
"So what does this black stone do?" After verifying they could talk through the text, he didn't hesitate to ask questions.
"This is Primal Chao Celestial Dao Stone, not a black stone. As for the Owner question, according to the Owner's current strength, only one function can be revealed. Does the Owner want to know?" The text appeared as usual.
"What? There are many functions but can only be revealed with my strength? Well, it seems even if I became owner I can't control everything right? Then yes reveal this function to me" Johnny muttered thinking of various possibilities, he was a very calm and educated person so, he could guess its intention. Yes, it intends Johnny to get stronger and this is exactly was Johnny thinks all the time.

"Its first function is to evolve anything even beyond its rank" Text appeared.
"Anything?" This is a very critical function; if it really evolves anything then his first thought was to evolve his own talent. This is a very life-changing function.
"Yes anything this including talent, bloodline, treasures, arts, and everything" Text appeared
"Yes stone, please upgrade my talent" Without hesitation, Johnny bowed half requesting to increase his talent.
"But it cost" Text appeared
"Cost? What cost?" Johnny was very nervous at the moment because he knows if he can't evolve his talent then this talent will become a barrier between him and strength.
"Chaotic Points" Text appeared
"What are the Chaotic Points?" Johnny got surprised; he thought the price would be very serious.
"Chaotic Points are points earned by Owner either by exchanging energy with Primal Chaos Celestial Stone or by killing any life form" Text appeared
"Then aren't you making me walk on slaughter path" Johnny questioned, after all, he won't walk on the slaughter path no matter the cost.
"It seems the Owner does not understand the path of cultivation. There are only two paths one is with heart and another is without heart. Those who walked on the path with heart, they choose what is right to them not to others. The cultivation is to protect others but to do that you need to slaughter your enemies but sometimes you may also need to cooperate with them. Think of them as you. You are very sensitive and judge everything according to your heart, so you won't walk on the path to kill innocent.
But people that walk of the path without heart, they have only one thought and that is to get strong. They got cruel to themselves and also to their friends. They slaughter innocent for their benefits, they laid conspiracy again and again until their enemy dies. So this path is towards evil. You have to know path and arts are not evil only creature heart is." Text appeared
Reading this Johnny felt into silence, he thought he would never walk on the path of slaughter but he forgets, humanity's main enemy is Animals that are currently killing humans. If he doesn't kill them, then what would be the point of cultivation? What would be the point to get strong? What would be the point to be human?

"Okay, I will walk on the path that my heart chooses," Johnny said with determination in his heart.
"Okay but stone, how does killing and exchanging energy works?" After calming himself down, Johnny asked
"Owner will get one point on killing creature on the same rank as Owner, two points on a higher rank and as rank increase, points will also increase. The owner can exchange Dark crystal which is the most basic energy source. The owner will get chaotic points according to the rank of Dark Crystal" Text appeared
Reading this Johnny was a little speechless, he needs to kill the same creature and all he will get is just one point. This is very cheap. He didn't know anything about the rank of dark crystals, so he stayed silent for it.
"How much will it cost to increase my element grade?" Johnny asked
"It is cost two chaotic points to increase from first grade to second then increasing each grade will cost plus two chaotic points with a previous grade point. That means if the owner wants to increase the grade of his Dark element to the same grade as thunder element, then it will cost twenty chaotic points" Text appeared
"But I don't even have one chaotic point, Stone can you give me some loan. I promise I will pay you back double in future" Johnny was really desperate to increase his talent, he even begged for a loan. Unfortunately for him, another text brings bad news for him and good news for him.
"There is no loan function but since Owner is the first Owner of Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone, it has prepared a free gift for Owner but only for once in his lifetime" Text appeared
"Really for me" Johnny nearly got tears in his eyes after reading the text
"Yes" Text appeared and disappeared then in the middle of two stones, two projectiles were shown.
This projectile shows a picture of two people Johnny saw fighting that night. He was very shocked at seeing their projectiles.
Suddenly the text appeared "In front of Owner, a man in golden cloth is Dragon Emperor and Man in white cloth is Magic Emperor. These two were very powerful to break through another level they need insight into Dao, they found the Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone position but since there were two of them trying to get the Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone, so they fought. They fought for hundreds of years but unfortunately Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone didn't show any connection with them so when they were having their last breath, Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone decides to exterminate them. When Owner saw them, they were starting their fight, due to time and space disruption, many things happened that the owner can't understand now.
But even if they were exterminated, their power was so great Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone has to use all of its energy while it was already sealed before it exterminates them. Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone was sealed during a taboo event, so at that time, when Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone fell at Owner's hands, it a big wound on the Owner palm which exposed Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone to the Owner blood, even though Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone could still reject Owner but may it was destiny or luck. Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone chooses you as an Owner."
"Or maybe helplessness" Johnny pour cold water on the stone saying true reason.
The text didn't appear as if it was embarrassing to say anything.
Johnny didn't care; he walked near those projectiles and saw another line of text with something very unexpected written on it

One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.
8 198Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
8 116Daughters of the Void
Emily is a high school student. Too tall and developed for her age. Her will has been broken, so now, she is fearful and insecure. But that, doesn't explain why those around her bully and despise her. Perhaps... it is related to the dark and deep secret that she has inexplicably forgotten? What made her forget it? The strange being, with whom Emily once made a pact, intends to find out what has happened. To do so, will take her to a world terribly different from this one. Why does it take her to another world? Why did Emily forget what makes her different? Why the hell, all of a sudden, can Emily see three floating panels in the middle of the darkness? What is this? A video game with a lush green-eyed redhead as the main character? Daughters of the Void is a story told from multiple points of view, which occur in parallel. As if they were several series in one, where each protagonist advances at their own pace. At first, the story of each character will advance slowly, so I ask you to be patient. Soon, you will discover a story of extreme survival in a medieval fantasy world. A story, a bit dark, that can also be a bit comical at certain moments. But above all, it can be harsh and cruel to its protagonists. I’ve introduced LitRPG elements in a very soft and almost non-existent way at the beginning of the story. As the story progresses, they will become more and more abundant, depending on the protagonist. Emily is the main and first protagonist of "Daughters of the Void". After her; Dianna, Tanya and others. Above all, I’m looking for your immersion, so I will make you aware of most of the thoughts of the protagonists. I also want the reader to feel some uncertainty, putting yourselves in the shoes of some girls who can't find what they lack. I look for realism, but also to surprise myself. Around chapter 25 there is an awakening of the protagonists. Moment in which they will begin to behave as they really want to be. Unrivaled adventurers. Heroines of legend. The secondary protagonists were created to cover some deficiencies that I noticed that the series had when it was only Emily, so their chapters will be more sporadic. Tags and warnings give me creative freedom. This is the first story I've written, although they are not my first drawings. Be kind with your reviews. I know everything can be improved. Also, English is not my native language, neither is my brother's. He’s the one who translates the story. Constructive feedback is always welcome. We learn day by day. Everything helps us to improve the quality of this humble project. Let us know what you think.
8 214After Z
The signs were all there. A mysterious fever spreading in the wake of the pandemic. Increasing incidents of unrest with surprisingly little coverage by the media. Breakdowns in basic services. Nick had thought for years that total social collapse would come in his lifetime – he just never expected that collapse to come from the unquiet dead. As soon as he was sure enough that the potential danger outweighed the awkwardness of admitting that yes, the dead were rising, Nick grabbed his bug out bag and bugged out. It felt, at times, that the zombie movies, comics, and games he’d grown up with had been preparing for this moment. And Nick was right. But also very very wrong. After Z is an apocalyptic occult interactive serial about survivors hiding from the dead in a forest preserve. A new chapter is posted every week, and every week supporters vote on which way the story flows. This story will be added to daily until it's caught up with its current state elsewhere; if you don't want to wait you can read ahead on my blog.
8 186Lord of cauldrons
A man reincarnated to a world where cultivation ruled supreme. One were even practices like human cauldrons and dual cultivation was commonplace and a part of the culture. What was not commonplace was treating these cauldrons with any ounce of respect or affection. These cauldrons were like pills or potions to be used and consumed or thrown away. They were often just a stepping stone in one's immortal path. One man thought, "What if they were my immortal path." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My chinese knowledge is limited to wuxia/xianxia books and cultivator games and I will only follow it loosely, I have my own cultivation system which will be basis for this story The reason I am writing this is because I have yet to find a dual cultivation story that has something I really wanted to read. Using the 'cauldrons' like Pokémon and the 'cauldrons' being the main source of power. I will update this at a minimum of once per week.
