《9 Dragon War God》Introduction
Advertisement
Dear Readers,
The setting / Universe in '9 Dragon War God' is similar to any "Wuxia / XianXia Novels".
Here some readers might not be aware of this particular genre so all of the terms I use will be explained in the 'Index & Meaning of terms' page of the Novel (as the novel becomes big enough).
Most of the world-building is centered around the Buddhist / Taoist philosophies, legends, etc & heavily influenced by Martial arts & Cultivation techniques & my own learnings, beliefs etc.
The Various Cultivation Realms will be detailed in the 'Cultivation Realms' page (When it gets too complicated to track in the future).
The chapters will be relatively short (1 A4 page long). I will update the above-mentioned pages whenever necessary to be coherent with the plot & aid in understanding the plot in a more immersive manner.
The nature of this genre's style of writing forces the authors to exaggerate the impact of the battles in terms of unrealistic numbers to stress on the scale of battles and readers should allow me to take such liberties to do justice to the genre.
I strive to provide the best experience for my readers by being regular in writing chapters (Please forgive my mistakes if any that might occur due to any unexpected circumstances, or my lack of proper understanding of the culture - I am writing this Novel purely out of my love for Wuxia Novels - I don't have any kind of formal training in terms of how to write a novel, feel free to suggest any wrong / incorrect cultural contexts so that I can improve in the future ).
Disclaimer:
The events In my novel are purely fictional, any resemblance to the real world is purely coincidental. The things i write must be viewed from an observer's perspective & might not be my own beliefs. I write so that my readers can enjoy it, hence if you find anything offensive it is not my intention.
Yours,
Akira Saro

Adagio of the Enlightened
The Elders will tell you the stories and lore. Of our ancestors, their deeds, and of the foes of yore. They will praise to you the chariot, and how it flew to the stars. How it stole the sun's light and slew the night’s roar.The Shamans will tell you the tales of their wisdom. Their wars on schism, and the unlettered world of ours before. Perhaps they will sing you the songs of what our clans' ancient customs tore. Poems of how our ancestors took what the discs had offered them, the manna and the mundane, and made it more.The kings will tell you of the follies, the sins, and the anecdotes of all our ancestors' wrongs. They will curse to you their names, the Ender of Fate and the Ruined Song. How they had dug up the hearts of the discs, euchred its relics, and blasphemed its prophecies, with oracles withdrawn.But they will only tell you the legends, recount the myths, and sing the allegories washed ashore.The Elders, the Shamans, and the kings can only retell what the storytellers of their own time had voiced. What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened. They were never there.They can't tell you how our ancestors slew the angels from the sky, and sent them back to where they belonged. How they poisoned our minds, and made our people slothful and feeble, with the reforms they had undergone.But I can.I can tell you how the Ender of Fate severed destiny's strings, weakened them, and weaved them to our feeble flesh and souls.I can tell you how the Ruined song razed the heavens with her blood-stained melody, and reshaped our hell into utopia, with the deaths she deplored.Because I was there. I can tell you the truth, with my virtue strong. ----> Disclaimer: This will be a slow-burn, character-driven, non-harem, slice-of-life web novel with cultivation and kingdom-building elements.

So I'm a cat, what now?
It seems I've reincarnated into a fantasy world as a cat. What now? This is my first publically published story, and I would love feedback in any form as I have no idea how well the quality of my writing holds up. This story will have light litRPG elements, though I won't dig into numbers much, since I don't enjoy fiddling with them. The tone will be generally light, and I willl probably try to throw some comedy in there as well. The beginning will be Slice of Life, and unless I come up with a longer plot that I like it will stay that way.
