In a world ruled by steam, gears, and cold iron, where cultivation has been buried and forgotten for centuries, one teenager unknowingly plows the land atop a god’s grave. Li Tian, a struggling high schooler and part-time farmer, lives on the outskirts of a steampunk mega-city—just trying to keep his ailing grandmother alive. But when his crops start glowing and his dying farm begins to heal, he uncovers a truth lost to time: cultivation didn’t die—it was sealed. Beneath his field lies the corpse of an ancient cultivator who once challenged the heavens... and failed. When Li Tian awakens a mysterious Primordial System, it doesn’t just grant him powers—it needs him to survive. In a world where most wield mechanical might and arcane tech, Li Tian must master a long-lost spiritual path to face corporate tyrants, system-bound mercenaries, and secrets that could break the world again. Can a lone cultivator rise in an era of steel titans and soulless machines? A fusion of steampunk, cultivation, and system evolution—this is not just another power fantasy. This is the rebirth of an extinct force... and the rise of the last cultivator.

Author’s Note: Please note that English is not my first language, and this is my very first attempt at writing a story in it. There may be rough edges here and there, but I hope the world, characters, and mystery will speak for themselves. Thank you for giving it a chance. Tired of predictable heroes? Ready for something that sinks its teeth deep? Welcome to a world shattered by catastrophe, where grotesque "Life's Fresh" births nightmares from the earth itself. Humanity faces three fates: death, mutation into ravenous Vineborn, or—for the lucky few—awakening powers that blur the line between salvation and curse. In River Bend, trust is a luxury no one can afford. Shadows whisper secrets that break minds before monsters break flesh. Meet Leon, a survivor carved from hunger and loss, who thought he knew this world's horrors. He was wrong. When the Red Mist rolls in, carrying not just terror but devastating truths, Leon discovers that monsters have stories, saviors have blood on their hands, and some guardians burn with rage hot enough to consume the world. The Witherborn hunt these nightmares, each with hidden agendas. Ancient curses bind the present. And in River Bend, the past refuses to stay buried. Raw. Visceral. Unforgiving. This is survival horror at its darkest—where every choice cuts deep and nothing is black and white. The secrets of River Bend are waiting... if you dare uncover them.

For millennia, humanity has pondered the mysteries of the soul. Is it a wisp of energy carrying our essence, or merely a byproduct of the brain's intricate machinery? Does it persist beyond the veil of death, or does it extinguish like a spent candle? In some kind twist of fate, it seems that all of these profound questions can be possibly answered by Victor “Bloody Dog” Gabriel, the most trusted and ruthless enforcer of the city's most ruthless crime boss because the fate of this man appeared to be…very interesting.

Who remembers the ruin of a god? Who dares to chase what was never meant to be touched, let alone claimed? Noor—an enigma draped in silk, a storm without thunder, a shadow that bends the world yet leaves no trace. Men speak of her in hushed corridors where power is traded like currency. No one knows her name. No one owns her story. No hand dares linger. She walks unclaimed. Unseen. Forgotten by design. “If you knew what I’ve done,” she whispers, her breath colder than moonlight, “You’d be praying I never look your way again.” But some things refuse to be buried. Some ghosts don’t stay dead. Some touches… don’t fade. Sanlang, sculpted in golden light, worshipped by millions, untouchable—except by the shadows clawing at the edges of his memory. And in those shadows, her eyes. “I’ve seen you before,” he says, voice trembling like a man on the edge of fire. “ Tell me your name.” She smiles. It begins with whispers in the dark. A body that remembers hers before the mind does. Desire wrapped in danger. Memory soaked in sin. “What are you?” he demands. “Everything you were never meant to survive.” He thinks he’s chasing her. He thinks he’s in control. He is wrong. “Touch me again,” she says, voice velvet and venom, “and I’ll show you the truth. .” He who was never meant to remember. But now that he does… the only question that remains is: “Will you let me live?” “Live?” she echoes. “What makes you think you get to choose again?”

My name is Kai, and I woke up inside a time-space web made up of seven parallel Naruto worlds. Then came the system prompt: 【Unite all seven timelines—and you’ll become a God.】 Sounds fun, right? Luckily, I’ve got a cheat: I can bring people from the past into the future—and show them their own fate. So why not stir the pot a little? I'll bring the so-called God of the Shinobi to watch his little brother's final breath; let's see how he feels then. Let little Madara-chan witness the moment Black Zetsu-kun broke his heart. Drag a young Hiruzen forward to watch himself fall at the hands of his beloved disciple Orochimaru. Have Minato see how the village he died to protect treats his only son, Naruto, as nothing but a cursed child. Let the Uchiha racist watch as how the Senju and Uchiha clans both burn to ashes. And hey, maybe I’ll even throw in Boruto—just for laughs. Let the brat see what a real Hokage looks like: his father, Naruto Uzumaki, in his prime during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Because if I’m going to become a god… I might as well make it entertaining.

Is it Sin that makes one a sinner? Or is it Kin that makes one a sinner? Many say we are born innocent and untainted, and yet in Sin we are all related to one another. For we are one Kin, and with this Sin we share that we are born with. And even a certain doctrine holds that one's Kin, through the fact of birth, inherit a tainted nature with a proclivity to sinful conduct in need of regeneration… "I was brought forth in iniquity, and in Sin did my Mother conceive me." …or so the doctrine says, "We are all born sinners because of Kin that brings us together." …and so we think: we are born with Sin inherited from our Kin, But, should that hold us back from acting with virtue? No, we should not hold back, even when Sin entered the world through one Kin, and Death through Sin, and in this way, Death came to all beings, because all sinned, But even so, we all have freedom to be a being we want when we embrace Death, To be a fraudulent Human, To be a violent Angel, To be a benevolent Devil, And what one wants to be, neither "Sin" nor "Kin" should define what "Self" one is going to be, let "Journey" instead that defines one "Self"
