《The Torture System》Slave
Advertisement
" Zheng He, I command you to kneel down. From today on you will be my new slave.", said the powerful existence.
" System! Help me! I can't fight back at all. Don't let him capture me!"
System," You think I'm not trying? He's too fu*king powerful. No matter how I hard I try I can't do anything to him. I think he's in Soul Refining Realm. If he really is... No point in trying at all. Each realm is vastly different from the previous one. In Muscle Refining Realm your body is somewhat strengthened. It is after all the first realm of cultivation. (There are 9 stages to each realm btw) The next realm Body Refining Realm greatly increases your body's defense. And the next realm, the Soul Refining Realm lets you awaken your soul. You can use your soul to confuse others in battle and even attack and erase other people's souls. Once someone's soul is erased they will never be able to gain it again. Also after losing your soul, you will suffer great damage to cultivation. And you cultivation will drop very swiftly as well as your aging speed increases. That's why the Soul Refining Stage is so important."
" So you're saying I have 0% of surviving this calamity?"
System," Not exactly. He might not kill you... But one thing is for sure, you are completely under his control. But don't worry. Remember you have Undying Body? No matter what he does, you will slowly reach his realm. And once you do, you'll finally be free."
" What's are the chances that I'll actually be able to beat him one day?"
System," Your chances are quite low, to be honest. To be precise you have 0.001% of surviving this..."

" I don't even have 1% chance... Is there even any point in trying?"
System," It's alright buddy, while you are under his control I'll try my best to upgrade myself to the next level as quick as I can."
" And how will that help me?"
System," Once I reach the next level I will be able to once again teleport you out of this world if necessary."
" I'll trust you on this one. But how long will it take you to get your upgrade?"
System," Well considering that if I go too fast he might notice me... It'll take me about 3 years."
" No... I'll be an old grandpa by then..."
System," You shameless bastard! You're only 18. Plus now that you reached Muscle Refining Realm your age limit has been increased. Since you are in Stage 3, your age limit is 300 years."
" Dam... I didn't know cultivators had such nice privileges. So what's the max age limit I can reach?"
System," Well, I suppose if you reach the peak of cultivation you can live forever?"
" Are you sure? Wouldn't that be too broken? I don't think the heavens would allow that though."
System," Well the heavens allowed me to be created. So there must be a boundary which gives you infinite lifespan."
" Well, now I have another reason to reach the peak of cultivation."
System," What was your first reason anyway?"
" My first reasons was actually 2 different things. The first thing is to make my own harem with infinite women in it. The second one was to dominate the whole universe and make everyone bow down to me."

System," Wow. I should've known that you would ask for a harem. Your such a despicable man. You fu*ked Xia Fang's wife. He's the man who helped you turn from a homeless man into a man with shelter and money. You're the biggest disgrace of mankind."
" Relax buddy. Why you always have to bully me???"
System," That's because you have personality problems."
" Now you're going too far, dude. I know you don't have feelings and all but that doesn't mean you have to be so ruthless..."
System," Whatever. Also, I found another overpowered cultivation art in this planet's core, here check it out."
Judgement Day
Details: Brings forth divine light that burns away all opposing forces. But every time this skill is used, the person will have to face a tribulation personally made for them by the heavens.
" Holy sh*t! That move sounds so strong, but why do I have to face a tribulation? Especially a tribulation that the heavens personally made for me. Isn't that way too cruel?"
System," Well what did ya expect nub? You think the heavens are gonna let you wield such great power in a lower planet like this without any backlash?"
" Lower planet? What's a lower planet?"
System," I don't know either, it just came out of my mouth. But, I will know by the time I am done upgrading. It seems as I get closer to my upgrade, I learn about things that I didn't know about before. It's like I had some of my memories sealed and as I get more powerful I unlock more of my memories."
" That's cool and all... But how about you do something useful like kill this powerful existence?"
System," I can't beat him, even if I tried my hardest. That aside, he's approaching you."
" Who's approaching me?"
" I, your new master is approaching you.", said the powerful existence.
" How did I offend you anyway? I just came to this planet, so there's no way I could've done anything to piss you off."
" You didn't offend me. You just made me curious. You're the first human to come to this planet. That must mean you are very talented. But the question is how talented? I'll give you a great deal. If your talent meets the requirement you can become an official slave of mine but if you fail, I'll just torture with you until you die. Now let's see what kind of talent you have."
" No... If he finds out I have the lowest talent he'll start torturing me. I need to convince him that I'm really talented without letting him check for himself... But how do I do it?"
" Ah... It seems that you have F-Grade talent... But then how did you go from no cultivation to a Muscle Refining Stage 3 in just a few hours? Could it be that you have a special technique? Well, we'll find out sooner or later. Until then I'm going to torture you until I'm fully satisfied

8 648Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
8 822Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle. [ – Now Completed with upcoming minor revisions before second book – ] + complex character relationships and growth + realistic quirky magic system + unique mythical creatures + deeply developed world lore + evocative writing style + cute sassy fox sidekick - Original Book Cover Art by Chryiss Rewritten final version of formerly named Canaan series and first book, My World to Live.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
