When Lu Xuan woke up, he found himself to be an Ordinary Spirit Plant Master in the Loose Repair Market, scraping by on his three-quarters of an acre Spirit Field in the Cultivation World. Luckily, he made an accidental discovery that whenever a Spirit Plant matures, he would receive an extra reward. For each Sword Grass he harvested, he would receive a Sword Pill. For each Xuan Chong Vine he harvested, he would receive a portion of Hidden Star Sand. For each Underworld Spring Flower he harvested, he would receive an Underworld Flame Elixir Recipe. ... From then on, he decided to live a peaceful life, staying put and observing the tumultuous changes of the Cultivation World from his Spirit Field. "What does a Fight Law contest, Secret Land exploration, seeking fairy fortunes, obtaining Magic Treasures... have anything to do with me?!” "I just want to peacefully farm my land."

This is a bizarre and mysterious world filled with various sinister cultivation methods. Once a person begins to cultivate, they will either undergo mild changes in appearance and temperament, descend into madness, or become a great elixir for evil beings to consume... Duan Yun, having transmigrated into this world, unexpectedly comes across a supreme elixir cultivation manual, the 'True Explanation of the Jade Sword.' To his surprise, he is a one-in-a-million cultivation genius who, unwittingly, transforms the manual into something extraordinary. Guided by the Jade Sword, he is able to pierce through everything. Later, as his mastery over various methods grows, Duan Yun, carrying the philosophy of 'the enlightened benefit the world,' never keeps secrets and spreads martial arts across the land. Who would have thought... "Duan the Demon misled me! He said this technique enhances yin and yang, but now I can only squat to pee, boo hoo..." "It was the Demon who taught me this 'Seven Parts Returning Qi'. Instead of blessing me, it brought disaster—I either get killed or step in dung. The fortune-teller said I've lost seventy percent of my luck." "Don't trust a word of what Demon Duan says! The fairy of the Myriad Wonders Palace was supposed to ascend the whole palace to the heavens, but in one night, she was possessed and turned into a demoness, all due to that old demon Duan's handiwork!" ... Duan Yun finds this incomprehensible. All he did was practice martial arts, spread techniques, and occasionally emulate the laws of nature, so how did he become notorious as a demon? This is slander! The same techniques cause no issues for me, so the problem lies with you all, not me!

(MATURE CONTENT) Threesome arc? - Right here A weak, adorable, and low self-esteemed MC with an awful past, a trauma breaking him down every second and controling his life, just before he meets his 'suns', and later gains confidence and starts loving himself again arc? - Right here. Yeah, you read that right. Twin brothers who radiate like the sun and are very possessive of the MC, putting his happiness above everything arc? Gosh, look no further, you're in the right place. This story is just for you, so open it and read to your heart's content. ****** Synopsis I was just a no-name photographer who was trying hard to make a living, but then I got tangled with 'them'. My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did. He blinked at my confused expression and then burst out laughing. A sweet and cheerful laugh that made me blush. he looked really handsome. They both did, with their blonde hair which shone like gold with the suns radiation and a charming smile. I found my heart racing at the mere sight of that smile and almost forgot the situation I was in. "I see you haven't changed at all." He suddenly said, swiped my hair back and added, softly, "Hyung." My eyes widened. These two... It couldn't be... They weren't the twins, right? The twins that I knew. They... How did this happen? I just wanted a picture, that's all. ****** Thank you all for diving into this story. Note, the smut doesn't officially start right away till the later chapters but I didn't leave the readers without some sweet candies either, so along the line, there were a bunch of 'actions' between MC and the twins, huhu. His denial knew no bound but his body still won in the end, haha. Anyway, if you find waiting for updates too long, and you haven't checked out my other books, please do. There's also a threesome arc in the first one below. And it's completed too. What a score! 1) Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy? [Completed] Check out the continuation of number one, It's the next generation, that is, their kids 2) To Byul (Omegaverse) [Ongoing ]

The world is no longer broken. It is listening. After the fall of the old systems and the birth of a living Pattern that responds to human emotion, humanity enters what many believe is its gentlest era. Violence fades. Trauma softens. Cities grow quieter. Conflicts dissolve before they erupt. For the first time in history, the world seems to care. But peace has a cost. Every thought leaves a trace. Every grief creates a ripple. Every silence becomes a signal. As people grow accustomed to being heard, a deeper fear begins to surface: What happens when you can never be unheard? At the heart of this fragile new world rises Elias Solenne—a philosopher-visionary whose voice becomes a moral compass for millions. His words promise safety, dignity, and ethical clarity. His influence grows quietly. Beautifully. Dangerously. When silence itself becomes a form of rebellion, a secret movement emerges to protect the last places where the Pattern cannot listen. From underground sanctuaries to forbidden quiet zones, a scattered group of dissidents—later known as the Seven—begins pushing back against a future that feels too gentle to resist. Then the stories begin to change. A mysterious figure known only as the Being Between Worlds becomes a symbol of fear. A whistleblower named Calder Voss fractures the global narrative with an uncomfortable truth. And the Pattern, for the first time, must choose whether to obey humanity’s fear… or its conscience. As propaganda replaces reality and silence becomes currency, the world drifts toward a new kind of tyranny—one built not on force, but on meaning. In a battle where no one can afford to become a villain and no one is allowed to be a hero, humanity must confront its most terrifying question yet: If a world can listen to everything… who gets to decide what it should hear? Transfer Semester: The Listening World is a haunting, philosophical science-fiction novel about privacy, power, narrative control, and the unbearable weight of being perfectly understood. It is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about learning how not to own it.
