The Ashvattha Tournament

Elsar1975
In the heart of modern India, a legendary underground tournament is held once a decade—The Ashvattha Tournament. It is no ordinary competition; fighters enter the arena not just with martial prowess but with Divine Marks, supernatural abilities granted by forming contracts with ancient gods, legendary warriors, or forgotten spirits. Aarav Sen, a rebellious street fighter, enters the tournament with one goal: to find his missing sister, who vanished after the last tournament. But as he fights his way through brutal rounds against warriors wielding the power of deities, he discovers the tournament is a front for something far older and more sinister. The tournament is controlled by The Keepers, a shadowy organization that claims to maintain balance between gods, humans, and the unseen forces that shape history. However, factions within the tournament—rogue demigods, vengeful emperors, and forgotten deities—are vying for control, each with their own vision for the world. As Aarav delves deeper, he learns that the tournament’s winner does not just claim glory—they decide the fate of the world. With each fight, he uncovers the hidden war brewing between gods, emperors, and celestial forces beyond mortal comprehension. Torn between vengeance, love, and the weight of destiny, Aarav must face the ultimate question: Will he become a champion of fate, or will he shatter the cycle of divine rule?

Ancient Seal: The City of No Return

After school, sixteen-year-old Aarav Verma was just trying to test a strange feeling—an urge that tugged at him since he received a royal locket from an old woman during a class trip to Jodhpur. So, he climbs to his rooftop… And begins to float. High above the city, past even the clouds, something awakens in him. A strange power. A force inside. And then—the sky opens. A spiral of green energy forms above him, crackling like a storm. Within moments, he's pulled into it… And hurled into a different world. He crashes onto the rooftop of a massive ancient haveli, weathered and majestic—clearly untouched by time for centuries. Jodhpur still surrounds him, but it feels twisted, older. The year is 1880. Inside the haveli, haunting murals stare down from crumbling walls. One painting—of a girl in an Anarkali dress—seems almost alive. A strange red cloth tied on an iron gate pulses with energy, as if warning him to stay away. He runs. But the deeper he goes, the stranger things become. In a shadowed alley, he finds a staircase leading to a tattoo shop—inside, a famous actress sits, trapped in time, selling mysterious ink. She warns him: “You can’t leave this city. Not unless the royal bloodline allows it.” Here, royal families rule like shadow governments, their secrets buried in ancient laws and spiritual power. The people call it Heaven, but Aarav knows—this place is more a curse than paradise. Now, Aarav must uncover the secret of the locket, the painting, and his own powers before he’s trapped forever in a city that remembers everything—and lets no one go.

Cultivation starts with picking up attributes

Tian Shen was your average unordinary guy—living a monotonous life. One day, fate (or rather, Truck-kun) decided to grant his wish… by sending him flying into another world at 120 km/h. When he woke up again, he found himself in the body of an outer disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. His talent? Nonexistent. His reputation? Of a molester’s. Just when he thought he was doomed to be cannon fodder, a golden screen appeared before him. 『Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have activated the Attribute System.』 『Congrats host, you killed 5th stage of body refining realm cultivator and gained Qi points ×30.』 『Congrats host, you killed 1th stage of Qi refining realm cultivator and gained Luck points ×80.』 『Absorbed white Attribute orb, gained 1-star sword.』 『Absorbed golden Attribute orb, gained divine Artifact.』 Tian Shen: “…Huh?” Armed with his new system, Tian Shen embarks on a ridiculous journey—casually strolling through battlefields to collect fallen attributes, dodging cultivation technique manuals (which drop on his head), and even trolling young masters into fighting just to farm their stats. But as he levels up in the most absurd way possible, he soon realizes… is he cheating too much? Because now, heavenly tribulations, ancient sects, and hidden experts are all eyeing him. Tian Shen: I am favored by the AUTHOR of this book, you lots can't even handle my shoes. *Rumble**Crackle* Again Tian Shen: I-i was just joking, don't take it seriously. **BOOM**
