“Life Devourer: I Cultivate by Stealing Time”

True_King0956
When an overworked and terminally ill medical researcher from Earth dies, he awakens in the body of Lin Xuan—a useless outer disciple in the Medicine Valley of the Lower Realm, with no spiritual root, no backing, and no future. Everyone thought Lin Xuan was trash... But they didn't know—he came from another world. Armed with Earth’s knowledge and a mysterious golden finger called Life Devourer, Lin Xuan gains the ability to steal lifespan from herbs, beasts, and even cultivators to fuel his own cultivation. While geniuses chase fortune and immortality through bitter struggle, Lin Xuan cultivates in secret—devouring time itself. From pulling weeds in the sect garden to reshaping the heavens, Lin Xuan walks the path of longevity alone, hidden in the shadows—until the day the world realizes that the one they ignored… has already become a legend.

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
