Path of Druid

grzyberman
Long time ago, the world was ruled by the Primordials — an ancient and powerful race who mastered magic and shaped the land with runes and magic. They built bastions that stood as monuments to their greatness, cities protected by powerful enchantments. But their thirst for even greater power led to disaster. They opened gates to another realm… and unleashed demons. What followed was swift and brutal. The Primordials fought back, but they lost. Their civilization crumbled, their names were erased, and only the magical bastions remained — sealed places protected by forgotten runes that even demons could not cross. Now, demons rule the night. Humanity lives in fear, hiding behind rune-marked walls, unaware of their true origins or how close the world stands to its final collapse. Into this broken world falls Alex — a stranger from another reality. Upon his arrival, he awakens a forbidden power within himself: nature magic and the ability to shapeshift. A gift… and a curse. Magic is forbidden. Hunted. Destroyed. If anyone discovers what he is, he could be executed on the spot. But only through his power does Alex stand a chance of surviving… and fighting back. As he journeys across this dark and ruined land, he begins to unravel secrets long buried, truths about the demons’ origin, and the real reason the world fell. This is a dark fantasy tale of blood, survival, ancient knowledge, and inner transformation. Alex must choose what he will become: a monster, a savior… or something in between. Hello and welcome to everyone who decided to read my first writing attempts! The story you are reading is created in my free time, so new chapters will be released approximately 3-4 times a week. I run my own business, which sometimes makes it difficult to find a moment to sit down and fully focus on writing. I'm a fan of brutal, bloody scenes – the kind that stay in your mind long after you've finished reading. I have a vivid imagination, and when I write, I see each of these fights clearly, as if they were happening right in front of me: torn bodies, blood spraying, guts... none of that sugar-coated fighting. I try to transfer these images from my head to the page with as much intensity as possible, so you can feel the same tension and thrill that I do while writing. I also want to build a sense of horror – especially when it comes to monsters. I'm not interested in easy enemies. These are meant to be creatures you feel before you see them. The kind that stir fear and force the characters into desperate decisions. I hope you'll enjoy these scenes too – brutal, emotional, and full of darkness. As for the plot, I already have a general outline in my head, so there’s a lot of writing ahead of me. In the future, the story may include R18 scenes, but before that, I want to build a solid world and well-developed characters. If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to discuss them, and maybe we can add something interesting to the story! Enjoy the read!

Ancient Seal: The City of No Return

After school, sixteen-year-old Aarav Verma was just trying to test a strange feeling—an urge that tugged at him since he received a royal locket from an old woman during a class trip to Jodhpur. So, he climbs to his rooftop… And begins to float. High above the city, past even the clouds, something awakens in him. A strange power. A force inside. And then—the sky opens. A spiral of green energy forms above him, crackling like a storm. Within moments, he's pulled into it… And hurled into a different world. He crashes onto the rooftop of a massive ancient haveli, weathered and majestic—clearly untouched by time for centuries. Jodhpur still surrounds him, but it feels twisted, older. The year is 1880. Inside the haveli, haunting murals stare down from crumbling walls. One painting—of a girl in an Anarkali dress—seems almost alive. A strange red cloth tied on an iron gate pulses with energy, as if warning him to stay away. He runs. But the deeper he goes, the stranger things become. In a shadowed alley, he finds a staircase leading to a tattoo shop—inside, a famous actress sits, trapped in time, selling mysterious ink. She warns him: “You can’t leave this city. Not unless the royal bloodline allows it.” Here, royal families rule like shadow governments, their secrets buried in ancient laws and spiritual power. The people call it Heaven, but Aarav knows—this place is more a curse than paradise. Now, Aarav must uncover the secret of the locket, the painting, and his own powers before he’s trapped forever in a city that remembers everything—and lets no one go.

Cultivation starts with picking up attributes

Tian Shen was your average unordinary guy—living a monotonous life. One day, fate (or rather, Truck-kun) decided to grant his wish… by sending him flying into another world at 120 km/h. When he woke up again, he found himself in the body of an outer disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. His talent? Nonexistent. His reputation? Of a molester’s. Just when he thought he was doomed to be cannon fodder, a golden screen appeared before him. 『Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have activated the Attribute System.』 『Congrats host, you killed 5th stage of body refining realm cultivator and gained Qi points ×30.』 『Congrats host, you killed 1th stage of Qi refining realm cultivator and gained Luck points ×80.』 『Absorbed white Attribute orb, gained 1-star sword.』 『Absorbed golden Attribute orb, gained divine Artifact.』 Tian Shen: “…Huh?” Armed with his new system, Tian Shen embarks on a ridiculous journey—casually strolling through battlefields to collect fallen attributes, dodging cultivation technique manuals (which drop on his head), and even trolling young masters into fighting just to farm their stats. But as he levels up in the most absurd way possible, he soon realizes… is he cheating too much? Because now, heavenly tribulations, ancient sects, and hidden experts are all eyeing him. Tian Shen: I am favored by the AUTHOR of this book, you lots can't even handle my shoes. *Rumble**Crackle* Again Tian Shen: I-i was just joking, don't take it seriously. **BOOM**
