The Swordsman Who Died Yesterday

Grimjoe
In a world where the sky has cracked open and reality bleeds with forgotten power, a man awakens from the grave with no memories, only a name carved into a broken tombstone: Li Zhen. But the world he returns to is no longer the one he left behind. The ancient ways of cultivation are dead. Qi, once the sacred breath of the world, has splintered into chaotic forces known as Qi Fragments shards of reality that bind themselves to the desperate and the damned. Those who wield them are no longer masters of power... but vessels for something far older, and far more dangerous. Haunted by visions of a swordsman who shares his face, hunted by sects and spirits who curse his name, and guided only by a talking black crow who may or may not be real, Li Zhen must uncover the truth of who or what he truly is. But the more fragments he recovers, the more terrifying the picture becomes: A man who tried to rewrite fate. A warrior who shattered the sky. A ghost who now walks among the living. His journey will take him through ruined temples, fractured heavens, and into battle with false gods born from human ambition. To reclaim himself, he must confront his other self—the version of him that never died. And in the end, he will have to choose: To become whole... or to destroy what remains of the heavens themselves. - 2 Chapters (Everyday)

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
