I am the Progenitor of Cultivation!
By @Kassius Barrett
In the untamed Myriad Expanse, where primordial chaos reigns and 'Lords' and Demons clash, Shan Lu's quiet village life shatters. A cataclysmic battle leaves behind only ruin and a searing fragment that embeds within him, awakening the mysterious Dao Eyes. These eyes grant him an unprecedented sight into the flows of Qi and Intent, a cheat allowing him to dissect the very fabric of cultivation. With his peerless spear-wielding sworn brother, Han Jue, at his side, Shan Lu vows to carve a new destiny for humanity, one where they are not pawns in the cosmic games of ancient powers. But in this age of ignorance, pioneering a new path means facing not only monstrous foes but the entrenched dogmas of a world unprepared for true insight. He seeks not just power, but ultimate understanding.

Rédemption
By @Delicia Kipulu
Hailey, two years into her marriage with Evan and with twin daughters, Line, stands on a church pulpit. Her father, Tonny, a man who sexually abused her at sixteen, is dead, and she is there to testify to the impossible: her journey of forgiveness. This isn't just a story of personal triumph; it's a testament to the raw, transformative power of grace in the face of unspeakable darkness. From the clandestine circumstances of her birth—her mother, Ella, exiled for an early pregnancy—to the brutal domestic violence Ella endured, Hailey's life has been shadowed by a legacy of pain. Now, facing her past head-on, she grapples with the profound weight of healing, not just for herself, but to break the chains of generational trauma and protect the innocent future of her own children. Her testimony is a desperate plea for peace, a fragile step toward redemption, risking public scrutiny and internal relapse with every word.

Rédemption
By @Delicia Kipulu
Two years after her wedding to Evan, the birth of her daughters Line, and the death of her abuser, Tonny—her own father—Hailey stands on an altar, poised to deliver a sermon on forgiveness. Her serene exterior masks a soul still fractured by a childhood marred by unspeakable abuse and a lineage burdened by domestic violence. Haunted by memories of her mother, Ella, expelled for a premature pregnancy, and the pervasive darkness that clung to their lives, Hailey clings to faith as her anchor. As she recounts the harrowing journey from a naive sixteen-year-old enduring betrayal to a woman seeking peace, the true cost of her redemption unfolds. Can she truly transcend the generational trauma, or is her act of forgiveness merely a performance, a fragile shield against a past that threatens to consume her, her family, and her future? The narrative peels back layers of denial, societal judgment, and personal struggle, asking if true healing demands more than just prayer.
