In the morning, I woke up in an unfamiliar place. Moreover, I, who was supposed to be an old man, has turned into a child!?... more>>

This is a mysterious world where a magic called the "Miracle of God" exists. Am I the only one who realizes the infinite potential of this strange power called magic? Well, if that's the case, why not live an interesting life with this power?

...However, due to the magic I secretly learned, a certain "suspicion" is cast upon me. A great commotion suddenly erupted in a small village called Rish Village... As a result, I was ordered by the feudal lord to attend a local magic academy.

While attending the magic academy and taking the first step towards my dream of becoming an adventurer, I get involved in the kidnapping of a duke's daughter, play around with curses, and fantasize about getting rich with alchemy, all while graduating from the academy's junior division.

Then, I was supposed to attend the magic academy in the royal capital. At the academy, I'm called a prodigy, earn a grand title like "Curse Breaker" by making money with curses, and live with two girls. Unexpectedly, a strange ball of light settles in, and my life takes an unforeseen turn.

An incident arises where a fake "Curse Breaker" appears, involving the adventurer's guild, I almost get assassinated by the church, and my everyday life remains chaotic. While engaged to three girls, I finally succeed in generating Orichalcum with alchemy in secret and become a secret billionaire! But, I'm nonchalantly assigned military duties and receive medals, suspicious individuals lurk around, and there's a looming sense of a storm involving the whole country.

At that time, the kingdom and the empire finally go to war. Borders are breached, and even an attack on the royal capital occurs. Who ascends to the throne in the empire!?

Those who manipulate behind the scenes on the continent. The hidden truth in the darkness of history——.

I find myself entangled in the struggle of the great nations that divide the continent, all the while dreaming of a carefree adventurer's life. This is the story of one young boy (in an old man's body). <<less

In the tranquil village of Qingling, Li Wei, a humble herbalist's son, discovers an ancient scroll that unveils the secrets of cultivating one's inner energy, or "qi." With a heart aflame with determination, Li Wei embarks on a journey that will lead him from the picturesque landscapes of his homeland to the heart of the mystical mountains.... more>>

Guided by the teachings of the scroll and fueled by his unyielding spirit, Li Wei begins to harness his qi, channeling it into his very being. His journey is one of arduous trials and fortuitous encounters, as he navigates the treacherous world of martial arts clans, formidable beasts, and ethereal realms.

As his power grows, so too does his understanding of the delicate balance between creation and chaos, Yin and Yang. Amidst battles that shake the heavens and bonds that transcend lifetimes, Li Wei grapples with his destiny: to restore harmony to a world on the brink of upheaval, and to ascend the celestial path as a true cultivator.

"Jade Chronicles: Ascension of the Celestial Path" follows Li Wei's evolution from a village boy to a martial legend, as he learns that true strength is born not just from the might of one's fists, but from the wisdom of the heart and the unity of the universe. <<less

The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.... more>>

I, Chen *Ping'an, only have one sword, to move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the heavenly abode!

My name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an* of Peace, and I am a swordsman.

The Midland world was full of wonders.

In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.

At the edge of the East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.

In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.

In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.

An impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.

He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.

Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.

Notes:

* Ping'an means peace

I, Tremina, was an ordinary village girl. No, maybe less than ordinary. I was said to be easy-going for a long time, and I was not good at any form of exercise. At a young age, I decided to take over my family's potato farm.... more>>

With that involved, I was able to enroll in a knight training school.

There, I discovered a great talent of mine, aided by my gentleness and overwhelmingly strong mental strength.

Anyway, I was able to forge mana without feeling tired at all. Mana is the source of life and power, and if an ordinary person trains with it for two hours a day, they will, naturally, be completely exhausted. But I was able to go on and on for hours and I never got tired. By the way, except when sleeping, Mana can be trained in parallel to doing anything else like eating or studying.

This story is a record of my battle. While being feared as a monster by those around me, I eventually became a sword god with the greatest fighting potential of mankind.

In addition, I also grow potatoes as a side job. <<less

When a mortal encounters difficulties and separation in life, he can resort to praying to the god and to the Buddha – but what if one is an immortal?... more>>

She lost the memories she had of the three hundred years before the Catastrophe of Chaos occurred, which caused her to forget the love that was buried deep in her heart.

But she will never forget how this person quietly stayed by her side for sixty thousand years. She will never forget the thousands of years he spent in the Northern Sea, frozen in time. She will never forget how he stood on Qinglong Terrace, enduring the pain of having his bones crushed and body burnt. She will never forget how he chose to shatter his spirit into a million pieces, turning himself into ash, just so she could live.

Now, in the desolation of the Nine provinces and the loneliness of the Three Realms, she was the only figure standing on Gan Kun Platform.

In this lifetime, she is able to stand in front of all the immortals and gods. She is able to stand in front of the innumerable people and spirits living in the Nine provinces and Eight Lands. She is able to stand in front of her deceased father, God Qing Tian. But she couldn’t stand straight and prove herself worthy in front of one person.

She owes him so much more than one hundred and thirty thousand years. She is indebted to him for more than three lifetimes.

This time, she would be the one waiting for him to return. Even if millions of years pass, she would never, ever leave. <<less

Round, heart-shaped face, plump body, and wings unable to fly.
Connie Heart, a penguin divine being who has yet to awaken, was born with the mission of 'Salvation.'... more>>

[Where am I?]

In order to explore her own life, Connie Heart set out on a journey with her plump body. The place she arrived at happened to be the fearsome Barun Mountain, known for swarming evolved monsters.
There, Connie Heart encounters numerous monsters...

"Kikikiki! This lush and thick hair, free from worries about hair loss! Oh, my handsome face!"

Connie Heart, who considers herself the penguin's head, and

"Eek! Sir, my bones are broken again!"

The absurd and feeble skeleton legion, and

"Ogre, if you eat a human, you'll gain weight. If you gain weight, Duraan will be upset. But I want to eat."

Ogres always revealing their desire for food, and

"Fhuhahaha! Yety is flying! Everyone, move aside, kyahaha!"

The small and fluffy Yety, and

"Hweeee! The chameleon took my eyes, nose, and mouth again! My eyes, my nose!"

The snowman who always cries after losing eyes, nose, and mouth. Today, the paradise of creatures where humans dare not tread, Barun Mountain, is a bit strange and quite peaceful.

[This is bad. I need to escape quickly.]

Now serving as Duraan's head, Connie Heart sighed deeply.

"...... Head."

However, it wasn't just the baby penguin Connie Heart whose fate was tied to Barun Mountain. There was also a seriously cute seven-year-old boy. Dhiope, who made short sounds while hiding his identity.

"Is the head getting along with me? If I throw it away, it won't grow back, right? Because I'm a head collector."

But Connie Heart knows. That this little human, with maxed-out acting skills, is an ambitious and dangerous 18-year-old villain with plans to overthrow the world.

๑ ♡ ๑

"Dhiope. Are you okay?"

Attempting to lift the cloak to check his face, something from within pulled her with a strong grip.

It was only then that Connie Heart realized something was amiss. Under the unlit cliff, the arms encircling her waist were too sturdy.

The cloak moved slowly. It seemed as if it was contemplating or perhaps deliberately delaying time.

Then, with a rustle, a white and robust forearm emerged from the soft fabric. Broad shoulders and well-defined chest followed.

"Dhiope?"

It wasn't a child's body. Rising with undulating shoulders and well-sculpted muscles was something that...

"Dhiope?"

He was handsome.

Long, orderly eyebrows, a straight yet proud nose, clearly defined lips sealed tightly, eyes as chilling as the depths of the unknown. Beneath that, smooth, pale skin.

To Connie Heart, everything about him felt unfamiliar.

"Hello."

Even his simple voice.

"Nice to meet you, Heart." <<less

In the year 2202, the conflicts between humans and monsters are becoming more and more intense. Although the monsters are strong, the fantastical species that used to rule the continent have all but disappeared.

Shi An, the Shi family’s youngest son, is Mage Academy’s infamous mage who has no magic power. Each student’s magic power is measured at the beginning of the school year. Shi An looked at the three destroyed magic detection equipment and innocently asked, “Eh? Are these equipment’s quality not very good?”

During actual combat training, low-ranked monsters fled before Shi An could get close. Shi An looked at their fleeing figures and innocently exclaimed, “Yay, lucky!”

Everyone else was speechless. “……?” I believe I am dreaming.

Extinction is out of the question now. As a matter of fact, I can only earn more money so that I won’t get kicked out of bed at night. <<less
