The Reticent Blade is, first and foremost, a wuxia novel, meaning that the world and its character’s powers and abilities are more grounded. Instead of cultivators who can soar through the heavens and shatter planets, you will find martial artists who can still perform superhuman feats but not so fantastical as to tear through space or achieve immortality.

The world of The Reticent Blade is one of medieval China, loosely based upon the time period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a time of chaos and strife, where war and death are rampant. We follow the intertwining story of several protagonists and antagonists as they navigate the chaotic times, unraveling the threads that connect the past, the present, and the future of the world.

The Reticent Blade is a story of heroism, love, revenge, and cruelty.

The Reticent Blade is a story of both the righteousness and vileness of the Jianghu.

Official Blurb:

Someone once asked me, "What is the jianghu?"

I thought for a moment, and what came to mind was…

A jug of unrefined wine on a weathered table,

A lone silhouette fading into the distance under the setting sun,

A nameless grave bathed in moonlight,

The smoldering incense in my grasp, its final wisps dissipating.

They then asked me, "Where is the jianghu?"

I smiled faintly and lifted my gaze beyond the window. Out there, beneath the vast heavens, countless jianghus lay.

A single soul carries his own story.

When two paths cross, a jianghu is born.

The Blue Star merged the game world, and the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield came.

Everyone who reached the age of 18 could awaken their talents and then enter the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield to kill.

Qi Yang lived a new life.

Because he only awakened a C-level talent at the beginning, he was abandoned by his family and parents. Qi Yang's father directly gave the god-level talent awakening stone left to him by Qi Yang's grandfather to his younger brother Qi Lei.

Qi Yang was furious and broke off relations with his family and parents.

Who knew that after breaking off relations, Qi Yang awakened a unique talent of the main god level again, and upgrading one level was equivalent to others upgrading ten levels.

As soon as he entered the novice world of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, he swept all the way.

Within an hour, he completed the first kill of the world boss, breaking the record of Blue Star in history.

It took only one day to enter the novice world of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, and his attack power increased by more than 10,000. During

the seven days of the novice period, Qi Yang directly led the people of the Dragon Country Novice Village to sweep the newcomers from various countries on Blue Star. At the end of the novice period, Qi Yang was directly invincible in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

Dragon Country Military Department: Qi Yang must join our military department.

Qi Family: Qi Yang, we were wrong, you are back.

Qi Yang, you gave what belonged to me to Qi Lei, I am invincible now, why are you regretting?

In the battlefield of all races.

Qi Yang found the alien he killed in his previous life and slaughtered his clan.

Qi Yang: "How do you face the fact that I level up one level and you level up ten levels!"

"You ask who I am?"

Rango cleared his throat and said in a serious tone: "Retired dream thief, night shift patron saint of the museum, uncle who was born a bad seed, leader of the Wen family twins, master of the witch group, supreme devil of the murder house, fearless captain of the demon-killing special forces, supreme enemy of the ancient god Titan, traveler across time and space, god who summons all things..."

“There’s not enough room for so many people here!”

Bang——!

The hotel door slammed shut!

"......"

Joyfully exorcising demons, screaming and laughing! ! !

This is the world of heavy-taste American TV series!

The bloody hell of "The Walking Dead", the bloody fights of "Blood and Sand, Spartacus", the conspiracy and power of "A Song of Ice and Fire", the heroic mystery of "Norse Mythology", the glory of the legions of "Rome", and the changes of "Prison Break"...

Kirk broke into a fantasy American TV series world, from a geek to a god.

Passion, friendship, love, comedy, fighting, myth, intertwined.

Have you ever thought that under the bright neon city, there are monsters from ancient myths hidden?

Have you ever thought that on the moon hanging high above the heads of the world, there are gods who watch over the world?

Have you ever thought that in the crowded modern city, there are extraordinary people who walk in the world instead of gods?

In the society ruled by human beings, there are countless strange things lurking; in those forbidden areas of life that no one cares about, there are ancient gods living.

Seraphim Michael, Pluto Hades, Sea God Poseidon... Where did the gods belonging to the humanity go?

In this world belonging to "people", "mysteries" need to be eliminated!

[Flesh + Bones + Doomsday Disaster + Lovecraftian Survival + Civilization Graveyard]

When the mist descended and aberrant horrors howled outside the windows, all players cowered in crumbling shelters, trembling. But Bai Yi found himself teleported right onto the face of the deity "Endless Flesh," witnessing the terrifying feast of the flesh planet being devoured by something even more monstrous—the splattered fragments of flesh and bone that rained down became his only beginner's gift.

Some used mystical seeds to upgrade their shelters, striving to cultivate a World Tree. Others fused theirs with eldritch idols, attempting to establish a Great Cult. And some utilized remnants of lost technology to fortify their shelters, hoping to resist the calamity with science.

Bai Yi, however, fused his shelter with endlessly proliferating flesh and bone.

On the day of its evolution, newly formed bone plates structured themselves into a honeycomb-like support system within the fleshy walls, their surfaces covered in a translucent membrane that revealed the pulsating network of veins beneath. The ceiling sprouted rib-like skeletal rings, while the floor was overgrown with writhing flesh, from which occasional tentacles slithered out.

"Can this... really still be called a shelter?"

Staring at the fully transformed, flesh-and-bone abomination of a refuge, Bai Yi gulped.

[Note: The protagonist's strength remains within the top tier, not overwhelmingly beyond others. This is not a lighthearted story.]

America should also have its own folklore!

The Tooth Fairy who is crazy about collecting teeth;

Santa Claus who enters houses through chimneys to kill people;

The Wendigo who is forever sinking into the abyss of hunger;

The Pumpkin Head floating in the city streets;

The Indian vengeful spirit who roams the wilderness and peels off the scalps of white people;

Alice, the ghost doll, the rabbit man, the Mothman, the Slender Man, Bloody Mary, the Cursed Witch, and Charlie the Faceless

... . . . . .

Of course, there are also classic killers and those indescribable people who are sleeping in history and waiting for the stars to return to their positions.

All of humanity has entered a game called Train Survival. The tracks are endless and no one knows where they lead to.

There are also various carriages on the tracks, including supply carriages, trap carriages, weapons... and possibly... scary and terrifying things.

Zhou Yun discovered that his rate of return golden finger could still be used.

【Return rate】: 4900%~positive infinity.

Risk: Low

[Suggestion]: Low risk, super high return, highly recommended. As a businessman, 300% profit is enough to make you abandon your morals, 5000%, even if it means selling your soul, you must choose it!

【Yandere Protagonist】+【Plot-Driven】+【Mastermind】+【Single Female Lead】+【No Marriage】+【1v1 Pure Love】

Chi Xiaocheng could hardly believe it — she had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic female-oriented novel.

And she had become a cannon fodder villainess!

Facing a death flag right at the start, Chi Xiaocheng decisively transformed into a yandere loli and confessed to the female lead.

“Taotao, the one I like is you!”

“You clearly said you liked me — so why are you still going to someone else!”

“I won’t allow you to like anyone else. You can only like me!!!”

She would confess, make her fall in love, and then fake her death in front of her — making herself her one and only.

But gradually, Chi Xiaocheng noticed something was off.

The female lead seemed to have been raised into a yandere.

“Hey, Xiaocheng, you can only like me too, okay?”

The bamboo sea is rolling with waves, concealing the murderous intent.

The moon moves and a lone shadow plays the remaining chess game.

The century-long history of Shibi's upside-down

The blood-tempered green mountains prove the immortality.

Hu Xiuyuan accidentally traveled to another world and found that he had become the ancestor of the protagonist of the original novel. There were still hundreds of years before the beginning of the plot, and the treasure inheritance in his memory seemed to be within reach, but before that, he might as well set a small goal first - I want to be the patriarch!

————————

He endured for thirty years, exchanged injuries for power, and used the power to create a situation - the life-saving secret technique of the pharmacy, the peeping eye of the dark hall, and the bone-biting chains of the punishment hall, all became stepping stones for him to reach the top.

The upside-down images on the stone wall, the dusty inheritance underground, and the blood pacts in the sleeves of allies gradually unveiled the glamorous masks of the century-old noble families. The young head of the family drank the wine of revenge with a smile, with green mountains and clouds behind him and dry bones pave the steps under his feet.

This is a gamble with the fate of the clan at stake. Covenants and betrayals are intertwined, life and death are at odds with morality. When the mist of Zhushan dissipates, whose blood can forge the true path to immortality?
