MTL - Pursuit of the Truth - Chapter 1438 The legend of the ancient emperor (first)

Welcome! If you want to jump in without any spoilers, feel free. Otherwise, here's a story primer, with a list of more specifics on what to expect from my work further below.Our story follows a fallen knight haunted by his past, in a world afflicted by war and supernatural wounds. Alken is the Headsman of Seydis, an executioner tasked by the divine powers of his homeland to hunt dark sorcerers, warlords, and traitors of all varieties, lest they drag the world into calamity.Once a paladin, this role ill suits him. Forced to cross lines that shake his beliefs, tempted by dark forces, and seen as an ill omen wherever he wanders, his path is often a bloody one. The longer he spends in the shadows of his world, the more he comes to realize just how many have been disenfranchised by the existent order. During his lonely battles through a land haunted by the restless dead and ancient magics, his journey becomes increasingly strange and personal.Enter a realm where the dead stir in every shadow and brooding demigods wage a millennia long war for a ruined heaven, where blessed knights wield gilded flames and sorcerers battle with weapons forged of their own souls. Enter a world of faustian alchemists, of saintly demons, and of time-weary elves.From Oathbreaker you can expect— A setting heavily inspired by Forgotten Realms, Planescape, Fromsoft games, and authors such as Michael Moorcock and Kentauro Miura. — A first person POV from an older protagonist who already knows a lot about his world’s history and cultures, who shares this information with the reader as it becomes relevant.— A mix of action adventure and quieter moments where the focus is on character development. Lore is shared piecemeal, usually only as it relates to a particular arc or character beat.— A heavy focus on mystery, both with the setting and the protagonist. The main character’s backstory isn’t shared up front, and a lot of the narrative involves learning about him a bit at a time, either from his own narration or other characters interacting with him.— A semi-soft magic system where many mages manifest unique powers tied to their own soul, or gain unique powers through eldritch pacts.— Romantic elements. These don’t crop up much until later in the story.— A variety of supernatural beings, such as elves, vampires, gargoyles, chimera, and trolls. Many are familiar, some are not, and most of the familiar ones have my own twists put on them.—Nobledark fantasy. This means that the world is often themed around tragedy and horror, but it’s not dedicated to being gritty. There are elements of high fantasy intermixed with the scarier stuff.—Episodic arcs. Each story arc usually has a specific locale and antagonist or set of antagonists, but certain overarching plots tie them together.— A long running narrative. I don’t have a specific projection of how long or how many arcs or books, but you should expect this to be equivalent to a long running serialized work.This is my first web serial! I hope everyone enjoys it. For trigger warnings, readers should beware that there are some heavy topics in here. When I think something might upset certain readers, I’ll put a warning in the author notes above a chapter. If I miss or overlook anything, feel free to let me know in the comments! I am currently publishing the same story on my wordpress, which is linked below and in my profile. I release three chapters a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Thanks for reading!(I originally had a link to a wordpress, but I'm in the process of overhauling that space. It's not a priority since my readership is all here, but just in case anyone noticed and was wondering)

【A new work from the author of 'The Villain Wants to Live'!】I became a Semi-Coercive Imperialist… To prevent everyone’s destruction.

Mu Qi, the owner of dual abilities, was killed in the final battle between humans and the Zombie King.

Good news, Mu Qi passed through after his death.
Bad news, dressed as a non-human.

Mu Qi, who was seriously injured just after passing through, was rescued by Lu Zhao who was in the middle of the exercise.
Mu Qi, who was just recovering from a serious injury, was forced to accept that he was expelled from his membership and became a male worm.

However, before he could adapt to the Zerg, his life-saving benefactor squatted into the orange with a black pot on his back.
Mu Qi was preparing to save his life-saving benefactor non-stop, and then found that he was off the list.

Imperial Major General Lu Zhao was convicted of attacking a male worm and caused serious injury, and faced compensation for star coins, which led to his bankruptcy and even his life.
Except for his boss and the female in the same army, no one believed that he was wronged. He was already ready to die, until that night, a male with black hair and black eyes stood in front of the cell and asked he.

“Are you willing to be my second metamorphosis guide female?”

The male worm brought him hope, cleared him of his suspicions, and let him return to the military, giving him all the freedom and tolerance he could not imagine.
Lu Zhao thought that he was willing to do anything for Mu Qi.
**
The marriage of Imperial Blade was not optimistic at first. The bugs on the star network were ready to watch jokes, but they did not want to start with a live broadcast trial, and things developed out of control.

“Shocking my female father for a hundred years, it turns out that the Zerg really has such male insects?”
“House bugs, beat me up on the public screen!”
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made a conclusion without authorization from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn’t have been slapped in the face to the point of being swollen…”

Comments similar to the above have appeared frequently on the star network since then.

- Description from novelbuddy

After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life— the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother.

She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her “big brother” this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though.

But a blessing in disguise happened when her twin brother got “sick.” Because of that, she has to pretend as the “Crown Prince,” forcing her father to treat her well.

She thought she was finally on the road to becoming a lady of leisure.

But, despite her laziness, she still ends up completing royal duties that put her closer to the throne than her sick twin brother. The next thing she knew, they already prophesied her to be the first empress of their very patriarchal empire.

Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in!
