Two Empires, one enemy.
The Holy Roman Empire rules Europe and the Mediterranean, and is under attack by the Mongols from the east. The Soong Empire rules Cathay and holds south east asia in tribute, and is under attack by the Mongols from the north.

Two men from opposite sides of the world are thrown together by the politics of the greatest Empires in the World. In the wilds of an Australia still inhabited by giant beasts they both confront their greatest fears.

The Monqhul horde has been defeated. Now the dragon riding priests of the Temple of the Mothers Naked Heart face an invasion in disguised as a trading mission from the Qhan of the Monqhul Empire.

In the 13th century an exceptional linguist priest travels on a mission to Cathay with Marco Polo.

He has been sent by the Mater of the Holy Reform Church to record their journey to the great Silk Empire.

Brother Maximillian Hart finds this Empire in turmoil with the Monqhul and Soong antagonists in a fragile truce.

Hart is chosen by the Qhan of the Monqhul to accompany a joint trade mission to the Spice Islands and to Katithandra, the Southern Dragonland.

Hart becomes immersed in the politics of the Mission and the melded society of Aboriginal and Asian customs that is the Temple of the Mothers Naked Heart.

Ambitious Soong Empire military officers and government officials have for centuries taken the “Journey to the South,” to Katithandra to learn from the dragon riding priests of the Temple.

Hart is caught up in this tradition and is confronted on all levels of his being as he travels deep into Katithandra and Temple society.

Where do his loyalties lie?
To the Mater and his Order, to the trade mission or to the priests of the Temple.

What will this young priest become?

Become the Strongest Master With a Genius Student by VheenaD
62 parts Ongoing
Long ago, there was a legend about a powerful cultivator from the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom. The cultivator raised seven disciples whose mere name alone was capable of shaking all realms. However, many experts who researched hundreds of thousands of years of history suspected the story to be a fabrication as no evidence of the person or his legacy was found. "Nonsense! How dare they say master story is just a legend!!!" "There's no way I'm going to accept what they're saying! If it wasn't for the fact that this planet is where the sect and master used to live, I would have destroyed them!" There was a shout in a simple food stall from a girl with no satisfaction. But strangely the scream did not disturb the other guests, as if the scream had not been heard by them. "S-students calm down, it's been too long anyway. With the short lifespan of humans, they must have just assumed it was a legend. Master is not offended." Replied a young girl who was sitting with the screaming girl. "No master! I can't just take their word for it! They have to know the true story master!"The girl continued in an angry tone and continued her endless rant. _______ Well, this story is about an ordinary man who became a woman (lost his balls) when he was transferred to the world of Xianxia. Because of his stupidity, he tricked people into becoming his apprentice just to make his life easier, but regretted it because he was afraid of being found out about his lie (because he was an ordinary man? who pretended to be a cultivator). Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. The book cover is from AI.

IRON HAND (BOOK ONE): FOR THE GREATER GOOD by LowHale
28 parts Ongoing Mature
"Iron Hand" begins in the throes of what most stories would consider the final battle. Buren, leading the "Seekers of the Artifact," utilizes the power of the Gauntlet, an ancient artifact for which he sacrificed his own arm and triumphs over the dark lord, ending the undead scourge plaguing the lands. Without a foe to unify them, the alliance of various racial, religious, and political factions begins to unravel. Reluctant negotiations result in an uneasy peace that leaves many dissatisfied, especially Buren. Now feared and distrusted for the power of the Gauntlet, Buren finds no respite. Dark visions he believes to be warnings from the Gauntlet haunt his dreams. However, his fears are dismissed as the delusions of a war-weary mind. Determined to confront this new threat, Buren follows his visions to an ancient mountain, located within the sacred grounds of the Dryads. The distrustful Dryads deny him access. Out of options, Buren infiltrates the Faith, a fanatical human supremacist religious order, becoming their enforcer, their "Iron Hand." As Buren travels, we delve into the backstories of the "Seekers of the Artifact," witnessing his navigation through a treacherous web of intrigue where trust is a luxury he cannot afford. The realm suffers under a despotic king, with whom Buren must ally on the surface, while secretly plotting his downfall. The situation is further complicated by his arranged marriage to a woman harboring her own dark secrets. Literary heroes sacrifice everything for others, but what happens when saving the world requires sacrifices from everyone? When do the ends cease to justify the means?. What if saving the world involves sacrificing innocents, betraying loved ones, and allying with despised enemies? "Iron Hand" is a story of a man who gave everything to save the world once and is now prepared to do so again, even if it means crossing lines he never thought he would. But will he still be hailed as a hero?

Only to find herself in an abandoned house. Wherever 'here' is, at least. 'Looks like this is gonna be another journey.' Join her and see through her eyes as she roams in the world of mo dao zu shi, the novel she so passionately loved in her previous life and unravels her secret origins, while keeping her own secrets secure.
