Author’s note- Hey, Linklight2 here. But you probably dont know who I am, so here’s a little backstory. I am a leecher, whose priority is to read translated novels online and play games. But eventually, I decided that I should write my own Xianxia, so here it is. This is my first novel, so read and review gently please!

The purge
???- “It was foolish to think you could defeat us, no matter how big your number.”
Over 1000 figures were gathered in the air at a standoff against 7, and the one that spoke was simply radiating power. Lightning was flickering and dancing where he moved, every step contained incomparable grace. With golden pupils and his hair standing up with a celestial aura, he looked like a god. However, the other six figures did not lose out to this one at all. They all looked extremely powerful. In fact, each one looked as if they were one of the elements personified. And yet with all that power, the seven were not taking action. They were waiting for something.
The man in front of the group numbering 1000 just smiled, and then spoke with a voice that shook heaven and earth,
The Commander- “It doesn’t matter how powerful each of you are. We are in the pursuit of the ultimate power! Those who are born with it, lack ambition, and therefore they are weak! Brothers, let us fight and become greater than the gods! Attack!!!”
Saddened by their decision, the seven shook their heads in dismay,
The seven- “You’re too naive...”
The beings let out a combined wave of power that completely exhausted the seven but wiped out all of the thousand. The only things left of them were tiny spherical objects numbering exactly 1000.
Letting out an exhausted sigh, the seven celestial figures vanished from sight without a trace. To many, this event was known as the purge. When others mentioned it, top level experts trembled in fear. It served as a hateful reminder to those who aspired to become gods, they knew that no matter how strong you were, there was always a being greater than you.

However, unknown to many, there was a young child being born at that exact same time. Before the baby let out his first cry, he was struck by the fluctuations causing his scream to be stuck in his throat. Everyone in the tent died except the child, and later on, the day of the purge would become known differently in the minds of many. It would be a day of tragedy no longer and instead be known as the start of the rise of a being with no equal. His name was, Daniel.

Meek
After failing as an apprentice cooper and a town guard, Eli finds his place at the Rockbridge archives. Sure, he's the oldest 'junior scribe,' but he likes the job. And he's good at it, too. Then he completes an apparently-insignificant project, and the brutal reaction shocks him--with consequences that eventually shake the world. Eli gains powers. Rare and inhuman abilities. He progresses slowly, steadily, and not without setbacks. He changes, too. Is he a hero, a villain, a human, a monster? Depends who you ask. Meek is an epic fantasy with elements of progression. The basic magic is simple: five Paths, each with a different powerset. However, complexity arises from combinations, and the protagonist wields a magic all his own. Meek is set in the Valley, the only (as far as anyone knows) human empire that survived a Final Battle against a terrible foe. The Valley is warded against infiltration, but the enemy learned how to warp human souls, to foment discord within. However, another soul is also ... changed. Perhaps even 'warped.' And that soul is starting on a long (long, long) path that might, one day, prove that the Final Battle wasn't so final after all.

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.
