Hello my dear Earthlings, It is official now. From December 16, 2023, the Gregorian calendar I am an earthling too. It is not because I was born on that day. Rather, because I was reborn that day. I am what you call a transmigrator. I am now occupying the body of the earthling named Tej. He was struggling as a writer while stewing in a full-time day job that he hated. Yes, you read it right. I am a transmigrator. Very much like the ones you have read about in other novels on this platform. I am from a world completely different from Earth. But I am sure that most of you who are reading this are familiar with a world like that. It is the world of magic. A world with mana, mages, knights. Rogue bandits, dark forces, demonic beasts, divine churches. Familiar, isn’t it? As you might have guessed, because of mana’s presence an individual can get way too powerful. Our development is focused on Mana. In a way most of our methods of travel, the tools of war, and many more are very much archaic. Our world’s power revolves around a few powerful individuals who rule over millions. Because those few individuals hold the power to destroy millions within their bodies. In that world people with talent and power aim to be the strongest and fight for what they want. In that world, I was born with decent talent. But I wasn't obsessed with power. I was obsessed with the stories. Stories and legends of great heroes, villains, and monsters passed from generations. With that fascination, I cultivated my talents to the fullest potential. I dreamt of traveling the world and unearthing the legends. I wanted to make them known throughout the world. Just like the former Tej, I wanted to be a storyteller as well. And unlike Tej, I have had some success. From the first exploration I embarked to capture the story of the Golden Knight capturing the Draconic Shark, I have covered many stories. Including the legend of the shadow knight, the revenge of the fallen angel, the conquest of the forgotten land and many more. I have followed those events, investigated them and even seen some, met the people involved in it. I wrote those stories so the rest of the world could read them. I did all of that along with a special innovation of mine that could capture images. It does the same job as the thing that you call a camera. In your world, I am what you might consider an investigative journalist. I spent my whole life exploring stories. I have seen my world change bit by bit. I have seen one man destroy it, another man rebuild it, a several trying to preserve it and many more trying to conquer it. It is safe to say I had a great and meaningful life. When I was lying on my deathbed at an old age, I had a smile on my face as I looked at the world outside of my window. I knew I was dying with no regrets. Next thing I knew, I am in the body of this young man, Tej. I got accustomed to this new world with no mana, no magic, but equally convenient if not more, I must say. As much as I was fascinated by the novel inventions and the busier-than-god lifestyles, I was saddened by Tej’s life. I can only say, that he didn’t die the same way that I did. He died a life full of regrets, all the sorrow he suppressed within… In a way, death must have been a release for him and I wish all the peace for his soul. And I found my purpose. To honor the soul of Tej, I shall tell the stories of my world to you on his behalf and in his name. I shall make his name known as a great storyteller. (Note: So, keep my transmigration part a secret. Let’s just keep it between us.) And I will start with my first story. The Legend of the Shadow Night. Its a story of one man's ambition, one man's loss and one man's retaliation. So, interpret as you may and make a judgment on your own. Disclaimer: For convenience sake, I will use Tej as my name in the Story as well.

And through hard study and practice, I gradually mastered the essence of sorcery and rose to prominence in the Sorcerer's Alliance.
The concept of Creation encompasses the entirety of existence as well as non-existence, representing an intricate interconnection essential for maintaining balance within the framework of Creation itself. Existence embodies all that we have observed, including galaxies, universes, the theory of the multiverse, and beyond. Consequently, countless undiscovered truths remain as mysteries; even infinite celestial bodies represent only a fraction of the greater whole. It is understood that even the most potent celestial entities, including deities, may lack insight into the ultimate truths underlying Existence. Humanity has developed systems designed for traversing the cosmos in pursuit of knowledge; however, these explorations have often yielded little in terms of concrete understanding. Many have found themselves in a state of confusion, leading to a collective withdrawal from exploration. This trend persisted until the emergence of an individual driven by a profound curiosity regarding the truths of Creation. This individual, Jonathan, committed himself to extensive reading, which chronicled the journeys of those who had traversed the cosmos, thereby offering invaluable insights for humanity to reclaim its most illustrious era. In his quest, Jonathan stands before an ancient and imposing set of Doors adorned with unknown symbols, which resonate with immense power that defies quantification. Jonathan realizes that unlocking these doors entails solving a complex puzzle, prompting him to embark on an expedition to uncover the missing symbols. During his adventures, he encounters Mary Carter, a young woman possessing an obsession with literature containing information about the cosmos. They quickly form a partnership, united by their shared objective. A significant clue within one of Mary's texts directs them to Indonesia, specifically to the Candi Borobudur, where they believe a manuscript exists that contains the knowledge required to transcend dimensional barriers. This manuscript is crucial to solving the puzzle of the Ancient Doors. With this objective in mind, they prepare for their journey to Indonesia. However, one may question whether their expedition will progress smoothly or if they will find themselves entangled in perilous circumstances. Who knows, but we'll see it soon...
[Epic Fantasy] + [Eastern Fantasy] + [Otherworld Continent] + [No System] [All Characters Are Smart] + [Strict Internal Logic] + [Coming-of-Age Protagonist] Seven continents. Three rival powers. Gods in slumber. Races bound by fate. On the continent of Fuzhou: • In the east, the Kingdom of Jiguang places its faith in the stars, its destiny guarded by the Four Pillars, the Seven Luminaries, and the lost Twenty-Eight Constellations. • In the west, the Cersei Federation follows the rule of divine authority, where the Triune Council of gods commands both knights and magi. • And to the north, the Herta Republic forges its strength from machinery, runes, and cold science—seeking to create a “god that can be controlled.” As these three powers clash, the world itself trembles. Ruins of gods and demons rise anew. Lost continents, polar wastelands, poisonous seas, and drowned legacies of the deep return to the stage. Ancient myths stir in their sleep, and cracks in the fabric of faith begin to spread. The story follows Layne, a boy from the small town of Youzhen. By chance, he awakens the ancient gift of the Soul Guide—to commune with the dead, to soothe their spirits, and to hear the lingering echoes of gods. He was once a child too small to be noticed among the millions, but as kingdoms collapse, divinities awaken, and the lament of races fills the land, he will become the most vital witness of this world—its rememberer. Every life lost is worth remembering. Every fallen city once burned bright. This is a tightly woven epic of logic and ensemble storytelling, with a protagonist who grows through trial and sacrifice. It is also a chronicle of the Seven Provinces—written as a tribute to the world, to the soul, and to memory itself.

In a world drowned by silence and bone, a nameless man awakens amidst the skeletal remains of his own kind. With no memory of who he is or what destroyed this once-living world, he rises—naked, in agony, and utterly alone—beneath the gaze of a lifeless sky and mountains that cage the dead. Drawn toward the distant stone horizon, he walks the graveyard without end, burdened by a dread he cannot name. When he encounters a man and a child who fall to their knees and call him Adonai—a god reborn, the long-lost Asura of Yahweh—he is thrust into a myth he does not understand, worshipped for a past he cannot recall. He does not believe in gods. But something ancient stirs within him. And the world, it seems, has been waiting for him to wake.
