Yi Chang lived his life a sentient treasure born from chaos and cosmos essence, born not from the yin-yang of male and female but from the yin-yang of chaos and cosmos of the Endless World, such people are usually known as the child of heaven. But he was betrayed by the heavens and was killed by then heavenly tribulation and attack from his friends. Only for him to find out after his death that he wasn't the Endless World child of heaven but was born from the chaos and cosmos of non-existence-existence the in-between of multiverses but he was forcefully bonded by endless world as hers as for the reason, he couldn't tell. Now he has reincarnated on the blue planet which seem without cultivators. Read as he cultivates while standing against the heavenly dao. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Yi Chang closed his eyes and slowed his breathing, letting the calmness of meditation settle over him. His thoughts turned inward, focusing on the technique he had been so eager to try since his return to this lower earthen plane—the Chaos-Cosmos Coherent Cultivation Technique. This was no ordinary cultivation technique. It was his creation, birthed from the deepest mysteries of the universe itself. As he delved deeper into his dantian, he felt the spiritual qi of the world stir around him. Though, it was faint, almost laughably weak too weak even for a low level spiritual plane compared to the Endless World's abundance, yet it responded to him. He began drawing it through his meridians, guiding the flow with practiced precision. The qi was get compressed and transforming the moment it reached his dantian, converting into something far more potent—cosmos-chaos qi. This new qi was unlike anything he had ever encountered before, even in the Endless World. There, as a child of heaven, he had been able to absorb any form of qi—be it elemental, chaotic, or divine. But this...this was different. The cosmos-chaos qi accepted every form of energy and seems like it could be transformed into any form of energy, merging and refining it into a purer state of existence, a limitless potential that extended beyond the boundaries of what even the heavens allowed. In this moment of realization, Yi Chang could feel the essence of his new identity. He was no longer simply a reincarnated soul or a previous child of heaven. He was an existence born from non-existence and a non-existence from existence—an entity that transcended the limitations of the universe something he doesn't truly understand. This paradoxical nature made him something neither Heaven nor Earth could fully contain.

With a sadistic scientist, a bubbly-yet-ruthless director, and a fanatic rebel faction in the mix, and the curse of his own bloodline, Hikaru stands at crossroads whether to align to one or be the Eclipse-slaying hunter he is. —————————————————— DISCLAIMER: ALL ARTWORK IS OWNED BY ME AS I'VE CREATED IT Withering Cold is primarily a dark fantasy webnovel which inspired by animes/mangas. If you want an overpowered edgy main character with 10 wives and a broken system, then leave. This isn't for you. There will be complex and mature themes (both 16+ & 18+), so if you don't like it (assault, gore, violence, trauma and other not so cool stuff), then don't read it. Author's Note: I originally developed an idea for Withering Cold way back in 2022 once I watched Chainsawman and recently Tokyo Ghoul. So if you're fan of animes of that genre this is for you. Moreover, I wanted to see if I could build a balanced yet unreliable power system. Most animes have a power system that's purely for usage but I wanted to explore how power can corrupt people. Plus, to address the inner demon trope (Hikaru-Tsukuyomi), most animes have them established on the first chapter as a living vessel, but I wanted to see how far could Hikaru last before the person inside him awakens when it's too late. It's a slow burn, probably 200 chapters expected give or take. Might end in Mid-Late 2026. Each chapter spans 2000 words and the publishing frequency is 2 or 3 chapters a week (unless if I make a digital art, all available on my discord). It's my faithful tribute to my favourite shonens/mangas and probably something I spent years building, giving depth to my characters. Don't expect outlandish powescaling. Enjoy the story. For more fun facts about the novel + discussion and more join the official discord server: https://discord.gg/8mgFz7RVFm Maybe this will end up well? Who knows. I simply care about the moment. If I screw up your favourite character, I apologise. —————————————————— MAIN CAST: Hikaru Shimo: The protagonist of Withering Cold. A shy, timid 16 year old boy who has a knack for hunting eclipses in the retro 80s Tokyo. He's a local high school student and works odd jobs to sustain himself until he gets a rather meagre pay in the PPA. However, behind his kind behaviour lies a thousand year old curse that runs in his bloodline. Sora Makizushi: The secondary male lead and the Deuteragonist of Withering Cold. He's boastful, arrogant yet a master in his Senzai Arts. Once freed by Hikaru from his unfortunate sealing, Sora lands himself in 1987 Tokyo where he struggles to get used to the modern environment. The story focuses on how Sora regains his now lost power and the mystery behind the Main Antagonist, Tsukuyomi. Yoru: The female lead and the Triagonist of Withering Cold. A ruthless yet bubbly Director of the PPA who took Hikaru into her own arms. Yoru suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, where she knows the PPA is shady yet believes they are the true defenders of humanity. Her arc revolves around the world building in-universe and Yoru trying to atone for her own sins by being the family Hikaru never had. [more info in auxiliary chapters and discord!]

The strongest warriors inherit the wisdom, skills, and regrets of their predecessors, shaping their destiny with echoes of history. But Xian Ye is different.

He must navigate a world where the strongest steal memories to cultivate, where entire sects wage war for fragments of the past, and where even the gods themselves fear the truth buried within him.
