Young immortal by jerry279844134

In a world of immortal cultivation and demonic strife, Ling Han's life was marked by tragedy from the start. His parents mysteriously vanished when he was a child, and his village was massacred soon after. Barely surviving, he was taken in by an elder of the Qingzhu Immortal Sect, but Ling Han's weak spiritual root made him a laughingstock. Mocked by his fellow disciples and even looked down upon by his master, he endured endless humiliation. One fateful day, Ling Han returned to the ruins of his childhood home and discovered a small jar he had long forgotten. The jar, infused with a hidden power, resonated with the world's spiritual energy and unlocked his dormant potential. His weak spiritual root was transformed, and with the jar's guidance, Ling Han began mastering a mysterious cultivation method that rapidly increased his strength. As his abilities grew, those who had once scorned him began to take notice, but it was too late. Ling Han's rise was unstoppable. However, unlike many power-hungry cultivators, Ling Han held onto his principles. Instead of seeking ruthless vengeance, he pursued justice and balance, proving that a true cultivator should embody more than just raw power. With unwavering will and compassion, Ling Han forged his way to the pinnacle of cultivation, guided by the jar's ancient secrets. Those who wronged him were dealt with, but always in accordance with his belief in fairness, standing as a symbol of what a true immortal should be.

THE WHEEL OF DESTINY by LunaGarcia665

A soft exhale escaped through the Heavenly Emperor's lips, helplessly staring into the endless void, whising the universe would, in it's infinite apathy, allow him to return into it's cold embrace, never to see the sunlight again. After the blink of an eye, he said, so softly it may as well have been an illusion: -Why did it have to be like this... Why did you have to be like this? The immortal didn't answer. He simply knelt, his head bowing to the ground in silent submission. -I have loved a man more than duty. Yet I do not carry the shame of regret. Forgive me, my Lord, for I have sinned. Between heaven and earth, mortals and immortals coexist in a delicate balance. But when the actions of the past become entangled, destiny becomes a labyrinth with no exit. Zhao Wei, a young man marked by tragedy, is forced to confront his past and uncover the truth about the disappearance of his parents and the subsequent death of his brother in the shuiyue sect's fire by the arrival of Yuan Zhi, a mysterious young man who seems to be more than he reveals. Together, they must navigate a world of secrets and lies to uncover the truth about their past and their shared destiny.

SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/hPXh35A What if you could read tomorrow's events today? When Ethan Carter, a skeptical freelance journalist, stumbles upon an old, leather-bound diary hidden in his attic, he thinks it's nothing more than an heirloom from his late grandmother. But when the pages start filling themselves with entries-describing his future in unsettling detail-Ethan's world tilts into nightmare territory. At first, the diary seems harmless, even helpful. It predicts small events: a spilled coffee, a forgotten phone call. But as Ethan follows its entries, the predictions grow darker... and deadlier. Each page drags him deeper into a chilling reality where time bends, shadows move when they shouldn't, and a sinister entity watches from the corners of his vision. When a cryptic stranger warns him to burn the book before it's too late, Ethan hesitates. The more he reads, the harder it is to stop. His best friend Harper tries to pull him back, but when the diary predicts her death, she begins to fear him as much as the book itself. Now, Ethan is trapped in a horrifying paradox-does he obey the diary and risk becoming its pawn, or defy it and face the unknown consequences? As the final entry begins to write itself, one truth becomes clear: The story was never his to tell. He was always part of it. Fans of The Silent Patient and The House of Leaves will be riveted by this psychological thriller infused with supernatural horror. Can you trust your own fate when it's already written?
