Douluo Dalu: The Alchemist of the Cosmos (hiatus indefined)

Icarus_Preacher
- Hey guys, this is my first story. I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm using artificial intelligence to help me with both the writing and the translation. So forgive any mistakes and let me know what you think :) In a world where power is determined by the martial spirit awakened at six years old, Chen Hua is reborn with the mind of an engineer and the heart of a dreamer. In a humble village lost in the interior of the continent, he discovers that his new home is actually the universe of Douluo Dalu, a place where spirit masters ascend to the heavens and those without luck are condemned to obscurity. The son of a widow and brother to a young man who carries the family's burden, Chen Hua learns from the cradle that survival guarantees nothing. While others settle for spirits of hoes and scythes, he refuses to accept a mediocre destiny. With fierce discipline, he trains his body and mind, determined to uncover the secrets that separate the weak from the powerful. His journey will take him from the shadows of poverty to the center of a conflict that will shake the very pillars of the spirit master world. For Chen does not seek merely to become strong. He seeks to become a god. And for that, he will need something no one has ever dared to build: an army of knights forged not by blood or lineage, but by will and loyalty.

The Assassin’s Seven Principles of Manipulation

Zephyrion had spent the past seven years as an elite assassin for the Order. However, he had never expected that everything he had been led to believe was a lie. Fleeing the Order, he returns to his former life as the second son of one of the most powerful Houses in the Ferran Empire, only to find it divided among rival heirs, ambitious relatives, and powerful factions already maneuvering to seize control. But Zephyrion is no longer the same naive boy as in the past. His years of brutal training have forged him into an Ascendant who defies the very foundation of the world’s power—no longer bound to a single element. Armed with a calculating mind, lethal skill, and the principles his mother once taught him, he will manipulate, outmaneuver, and dismantle every force that stands before him. A/N:   This novel is action-packed and centered around manipulation, so expect intense battles, calculated moves, and ruthless decisions.   The MC is cold, lethal, and highly manipulative.  The first arc focuses on his return home and the establishment of stakes. After that, the pacing accelerates significantly as he grows stronger at a rapid pace.   The story follows the MC’s rise as he develops the Seven Principles of Manipulation, and each arc explores the core of a principle and how it is shaped.   An academy arc will appear later on, and it will be worth the wait.   This is a long-form story (1000+ chapters). It’s recommended to read through the free chapters before deciding whether to continue.   Cheers. … Discord: https://discord.gg/8JthpjYZez
