Cultivating As A Side Character

Lheticus_Videre
In the world of the heavens, there are an elite few in history who transcend the word "genius." They rise through the ranks of cultivation with unparalleled speed, perform feats that defy common sense on a regular basis, and generally educate all who cross their path on just what it means for the difference between two cultivators to be as the difference between heaven and earth. This…is NOT their story. Xu Zuhui has never been considered a genius, or particularly talented, though no one would call him a failure either—no small feat in the cutthroat world of VRMMOs, the dominant form of entertainment on a dying Earth. Indeed, he is one of the lucky few to escape the terrible, ruined real world by uploading to a persistent virtual world based on the world of Cultivation. But though his new body and new life comes with substantial perks, he will soon discover there are substantial risks as well. He’s far from the only strong talent in this new world, and few such people are happy to welcome more into their ranks. In what was supposed to be a virtual world, Xu Zuhui will soon find that the stakes he’s fighting for are very real…and he’ll have to become very strong indeed to survive the events the real hero of this world will inevitably drag him into. Updates MWF, 2PM EST.

Douluo Dalu:The Forbidden Librarian

In a world where strength is measured by Spirit Rings and allegiance to power, one man walks a path lost to history. Born without a surname, sect, or ambition for fame, the nameless traveler is considered a nobody in the vast Douluo Continent. But everything changes when he stumbles upon a buried ruin—an ancient library sealed since the rise of Spirit Hall. Within its dust-covered halls lie forgotten cultivation techniques, soul theories, and rebel philosophies purged from the world by force. There, he awakens a rare and forbidden Martial Spirit: the Archivist’s Codex—a soul-bound book of limitless memory, spiritual insight, and living knowledge. As the Codex bonds with the library’s ghostly remnants, the traveler becomes something new: a soul master of wisdom, not war. With scrolls of soul script and constructs of thought, he begins teaching villagers, outcasts, and discarded talents across the land—offering a new way to cultivate that doesn’t bow to Spirit Hall's orthodoxy. As his legend grows, whispers of a "Wandering Librarian" reach both grateful commoners and furious enforcers. But knowledge is dangerous in a world ruled by control. Hunted by those who fear the truth, challenged by powerful soul masters who see wisdom as weakness, and questioned even by those he helps, the Librarian must fight not with fists, but with facts—proving that soul strength is more than rings and bloodlines. When he finally crosses paths with the famed Grandmaster—Spirit Hall's greatest theorist and outcast—ideologies will clash, and history may yet be rewritten by ink instead of iron.

Forsaken Vessel

Pendora — a continent soaked in blood, mystery, and madness, where gods slumber and demons whisper beneath the skin of the world. Three months ago, a temple rose from the earth. It came with no name, no warning—just a red eclipse and silence that swallowed entire cities. From every corner of the Central Continent, the Temple of the Abyss took what it wanted: genius disciples, heirs of noble clans, young monsters in human flesh. They called it a sacred path. They called it a divine selection. They lied. Veilin—just Veilin—was no prodigy. Just an orphan from Earth who clawed his way out of hell once before. When a car crash ends his fragile peace, he awakens in a stranger’s body—Samuel Zevrin Morvain, an outer disciple of the Temple. The problem? Samuel had just tried to kill himself. The bigger problem? He had a damn good reason. This cult isn’t just training warriors. It’s preparing sacrifices. Each disciple is a piece on a board carved by forgotten gods. And among them... one will become the vessel of an ancient, eldritch god. The others? Fuel for the fire. But Veilin has no intention of playing along. He’s been broken before. Beaten. Sold. Left to rot. And every time—he survived. This time, he’ll do more than survive. He’ll lie. Scheme. Pretend to worship. He’ll wear the mask of a fanatic... and smile. And when they least expect it— He’ll burn the temple. He’ll kill their god. And if fate says otherwise? Then fate can burn, too.
