Whispers Beyond the veil

This is a work of fiction. All names, characters, organizations, events, and settings portrayed in this story are entirely fictional and the product of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to real people, places, or events—living, dead, or forgotten—is purely coincidental. _______________________________________________________________________ In an ancient world where the skies bleed and the forests breathe rot, Kuro Yamihana walks alone. Born into a forgotten branch of Yamihana clan, he's not a prodigy, not blessed, and certainly not chosen. But when the corrupted crawl out from the dark, no one else steps forward. Armed with only grim instinct and a peculiar grimoire that speaks more like a curse than a guide, Kuro survives. Not through power — but through pain, endurance, and a sharp blade honed by grief. In a land where nothing stays dead and even the air feels cursed, survival is the only rebellion. He was never meant to matter. But the veil is thinning — and it's starting to whisper his name.

Ancient Seal: The City of No Return

After school, sixteen-year-old Aarav Verma was just trying to test a strange feeling—an urge that tugged at him since he received a royal locket from an old woman during a class trip to Jodhpur. So, he climbs to his rooftop… And begins to float. High above the city, past even the clouds, something awakens in him. A strange power. A force inside. And then—the sky opens. A spiral of green energy forms above him, crackling like a storm. Within moments, he's pulled into it… And hurled into a different world. He crashes onto the rooftop of a massive ancient haveli, weathered and majestic—clearly untouched by time for centuries. Jodhpur still surrounds him, but it feels twisted, older. The year is 1880. Inside the haveli, haunting murals stare down from crumbling walls. One painting—of a girl in an Anarkali dress—seems almost alive. A strange red cloth tied on an iron gate pulses with energy, as if warning him to stay away. He runs. But the deeper he goes, the stranger things become. In a shadowed alley, he finds a staircase leading to a tattoo shop—inside, a famous actress sits, trapped in time, selling mysterious ink. She warns him: “You can’t leave this city. Not unless the royal bloodline allows it.” Here, royal families rule like shadow governments, their secrets buried in ancient laws and spiritual power. The people call it Heaven, but Aarav knows—this place is more a curse than paradise. Now, Aarav must uncover the secret of the locket, the painting, and his own powers before he’s trapped forever in a city that remembers everything—and lets no one go.

Cultivation starts with picking up attributes

Tian Shen was your average unordinary guy—living a monotonous life. One day, fate (or rather, Truck-kun) decided to grant his wish… by sending him flying into another world at 120 km/h. When he woke up again, he found himself in the body of an outer disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. His talent? Nonexistent. His reputation? Of a molester’s. Just when he thought he was doomed to be cannon fodder, a golden screen appeared before him. 『Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have activated the Attribute System.』 『Congrats host, you killed 5th stage of body refining realm cultivator and gained Qi points ×30.』 『Congrats host, you killed 1th stage of Qi refining realm cultivator and gained Luck points ×80.』 『Absorbed white Attribute orb, gained 1-star sword.』 『Absorbed golden Attribute orb, gained divine Artifact.』 Tian Shen: “…Huh?” Armed with his new system, Tian Shen embarks on a ridiculous journey—casually strolling through battlefields to collect fallen attributes, dodging cultivation technique manuals (which drop on his head), and even trolling young masters into fighting just to farm their stats. But as he levels up in the most absurd way possible, he soon realizes… is he cheating too much? Because now, heavenly tribulations, ancient sects, and hidden experts are all eyeing him. Tian Shen: I am favored by the AUTHOR of this book, you lots can't even handle my shoes. *Rumble**Crackle* Again Tian Shen: I-i was just joking, don't take it seriously. **BOOM**
