Shin Youngwoo has had an unfortunate life and is now stuck carrying bricks on construction sites. He even had to do labor in the VR game, Satisfy!

Immortal of the Ages

As Yun Xiao's soul soared into the heavens after his death, he made a startling discovery—the vast world in which he had lived for sixteen years astonishingly resembled a colossal tomb! Beneath it lay an ancient bronze coffin, vast as the boundless seas, radiating an overwhelming miasma. Every piece of land was but a handful of dirt atop this enormous coffin. The billions of living souls unknowingly thrived and multiplied within this graveyard soil.

Inside the massive casket rested the body of an Immortal. His eyes were as deep as the underworld, his mouth reminiscent of the Yellow Springs, his hair flowed like a majestic dragon, and his body spanned across a million mountain ranges. Which celestial deity from ancient times could be resting here for eternity?

Refusing to let himself fade away, Yun Xiao's soul entered the body of the Immortal. With the world's Divine Pillar as his sword and the vast continents as his seals, he and the coffin embark on a journey through the Immortal path, seeking enlightenment and challenging the heavens!

JL: The novel might start out as your bog-standard revenge-plot, reincarnation story. But the execution is solid, and there's plenty of satisfying face-slapping moments throughout. But what makes it really interesting is that the author eventually starts subverting expectations in really interesting ways. So, if you're a long time reader of the community, and want to try something familiar with a refreshing twist, give this story a shot!

Sovereign of the Ashes

Summary:

Sein was only a child when he was abducted from the surface world and forced to join the Black Magic Academy. In the Underworld, strength reigns supreme, and the weak struggle to survive. As the death toll of magic initiates continues to rise within the walls of the academy, Sein’s quest for knowledge and power is a constant battle for survival.



Memories of his parents and the starry night sky in the surface world are fading with each passing day in the Underworld.



“Is Magus World the name of the world we live in? Where is my home in the Magus World?” These are the burning questions that Sein has in mind.



Will he be able to rise to the pinnacle of power, discover the truth of the world, and ultimately find his way back home?





Official blurb:

He hails from the banished land of the Underworld, bound by a single unforgiving rule—survival of the fittest. He is the seeker of truth, a mage who treads the fine line between sanity and madness. In a world where myths have crumbled and chaos holds sway, it is strength that reigns supreme.



Not all dark places need light.

On Hiatus: God's Personal Reasons

Yu Il-Shin is a novel writer and a genius at that (as claimed by his editor-in-charge). But in this modern era where Hunters, monsters, and dungeons are rampant, he also hopes to awaken and gain some valuable abilities of his own and maybe have a successful change in career. He did awaken, and off he went to the Hunter Association to get himself examined. He was found to have awakened with Creation-type abilities and was evaluated to be of the lowest rank of all: G-rank.
Yet, something interesting happened to him. He chanced upon a strange game on his phone: God-Maker, which he hadn’t recalled installing before, but still decided to launch the mobile game anyway, trying to see what it was before uninstalling it altogether.
On the game, he found a few ants crawling on the screen, and instinctively began crushing them. During this period of awakening and playing the strange mobile game, he was also working on a new novel that was put up for serialization on a famous webnovel site.
If you are wondering whether he was killing the ants out of anger or not, and how he progressed on the game, check out On Hiatus: God’s Personal Reason!

Yeow's comments: Potato (the author) really has a way certain arcs that make you can't stop gushing on and on about them for hours. It's one of the reasons why I enjoy his work so if you ever want to ramble on endlessly into the night with excitement, bring a friend along and join me as we venture to discover such yet uncovered gems.

(My personal highlights for WDQK and BTTH were the Yimo City arc and the alchemist competition arc respectively :P)
