Tóm tắt

Throughout the world, there is a set of ten claw-shaped mountains that are estimated to reach far above 10 thousand meters in the sky. These mountains are known as the Heavens Claws, and at the top of each mountain lies an unimaginable power paired along with a secret so deep that it has been erased from history itself. And those who wish to climb these mountains are known as Heaven Piercers. Ray is a young boy from a race of warriors known as Sunbringers, and Ray’s life goal ever since he was a child has been to uncover the secrets lying at the top of each of Heavens Claws. However, the Sunbringers have a tradition where their people are only able to leave their homeland at the age of 14, during a coming of age ceremony. If one chooses to leave, they may never come back. Join Ray throughout his journey to reach the peak of each of the Heavens Claws, making both friends and enemies along the way, as he makes his way throughout a world he has no knowledge of to achieve his dreams.

Chapter 1Truth is Stranger Than Fiction (Prologue)

It is not uncommon for truth to be stranger than fiction. If fiction is limited to our imagination, then what limiters are placed upon reality? The answer is, nothing. Reality has no limits to what can happen, to how dark or painful it can be, to how light or pleasant it can be.

So it should make sense that all legends are based partly upon truth. Even the most gruesome, most horrifying of tales was based at least partly upon some event that happened throughout history. And this even includes legends from long, long ago…

Ten thousand years ago, there was a thousand year long gap in recorded history, where the only thing known about this time is that the sky had turned completely pitch black. Historians have argued endlessly over this, with some stating it was just an exaggeration, some saying it was an outright truth, and both sides unable to find the cause for this gap in history.

The answer lies in a story forgotten to time. However, its influence upon the world has never truly left, despite being forgotten.

Not a single soul in the world could have predicted that the sky would turn black on that day ten thousand years ago. It was a day regarded as being the darkest in human history, pun intended.

On the ground below, humans and animals alike cowered in fear as the sun seemingly disappeared out of nowhere. It was only on a day as dark as this when humanity could shine the brightest. People held each other in their arms regardless of the color of their skin or their sexuality, priests and atheists alike asked the gods to forgive them for their sins, and even the scummiest of people apologized for their wrongdoings.

However, it was never their fault. It wasn't caused by the wrath of the gods, or by their guiltless destruction of nature.

Hovering in the sky above was a crimson dragon whose body looked to be hundreds of kilometers long, with its wingspan being even larger. The dragon looked to be injured so heavily that it could barely even stay in the air.

The dragons right wing had been cut so heavily that it had nearly been completely severed from where it was attached to the dragons main body, and both wings were littered with countless other cuts and many holes that caused the dragon to need to use an even larger amount of energy than it normally would have to stay flying in the air.

"I never thought that I would ever be pushed as far as I have been in this battle." Said the dragon telepathically towards a speck floating in the sky a few hundred kilometers away. "Especially not by someone as tiny as yourself."

"You bore me, Dragon. You're not even strong enough that I want to bring myself to predate you." Said the speck with a yawn. The speck was actually a humanoid figure with long, white hair reaching all the way down to his hips. Covering his face was a blood red mask without openings even for his eyes. Unlike the dragon, he was completely uninjured. He held a sword that looked to be multiple kilometers long, which was covered in the blood of the dragon in front of him.

"Hah! So arrogant. Who's to say that won't be your downfall in this battle, Cain?" Said the dragon with a chuckle.

"Who's to say that you can beat me?" Responded Cain in an uninterested voice.

"I already have." Said the dragon as the sun disappeared from the sky, bathing the entire planet in darkness. "I didn't want to have to use this technique, partly because I myself will die after using it, but also because of the mortals below who can't live without it. I hope they are as good at adapting to abnormal situations as I think they are."

"What are you doing?" Asked Cain in a slightly worried voice.

"As a guardian, I have access to a myriad of techniques that mortals can only dream of attaining. And one of those is a technique to seal away your opponent for eternity. One that is impossible to break out of within the power of the person being sealed." Said the dragon with the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

"What really makes this sealing technique so powerful is that the person being sealed has to rely on outside influence to be set free. I'm not gonna say much more, but you're not going to see the light of day for a while, to say the least." As the dragon spoke, his body began to break down, and his scales started to fall right off of his body, plummeting downwards into the ocean below.

"It seems this is my end as well. I hope you're never able to go back to your previous ways." Said the dragon as the last parts of his body broke apart.

"But nothing is hap-" Said Cain as he was suddenly cut off by a spherical yellow barrier surrounding him. Cain tried to yell outside of the barrier, but not a sound was made. He tried to cut it with his sword, blast it with his fists, but to no avail.

Cain was trapped. And it really didn't look like he'd be able to get out.

The spherical barrier began to shrink rapidly, shrinking its contents along with itself. As the barrier shrunk more and more, the light it gave off decreased more and more, until it had become infinitely small, giving off no light whatsoever.

Cain had been sealed away; However, had the dragon really won? Can sacrifice truly be called victory?

And if Cain is ever freed, what will happen to the world now that the guardian is gone?

These are questions all left unanswered by the forgotten legend, the legend of the Guardians Sacrifice.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3\ ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. It was my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

"…W-Wh…He" "I'm sorry, sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to apply." "…I-I am…Heh" "We can’t approve a loan without collateral." "…W-Why?" "Your father’s a politician, right? So, you know…" "…" The so-called society didn't welcome him very well... Yet, He pressed forward! After years of struggle, he finally secured a job—only to be reminded of his place. "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me. So don’t ever contact me or MY parents again," his brother sneered. "...Heh..." And just when he thought he had finally earned a sliver of recognition— "HONK!! HONK!!" Fate was merciless. A split second, a cruel twist, and his already miserable life came to an abrupt end. Yet, as the darkness closed in, he screamed into the void— “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” A will that even the universe listened. !~Ding~!

Seducing the Villain’s Wife?! ..... ... .. And the list only kept growing… He, a Mere slave, seduces them all.... WHAT KIND OF F## UP LIFE WAS THIS?!! But it wasn’t OVER—far from it....

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.
