Exorcise. Reap. Purge. For thousands of years, the Vanquisher clans of Verve have protected their people from the monstrous Phantoms of the Other Side—nightmarish creatures that feed on human souls. But now the times have changed: the Phantoms have grown stronger through the ages—and so has their hunger—while the surviving Vanquisher clans have only weakened in their ranks and ruling. Another Era of Ruin is upon Verve if its Vanquisher clans don’t unite against the Phantoms. Yet family vendettas and personal grudges cannot be settled without bloodshed—so the clans continue clashing in their centuries-long war. And then there’s Nijel Rooke: a highly ambitious orphan boy of seventeen from the poorest part of the richest city in Verve, who enters this battle against Phantoms and the politics between Vanquishers upon awakening into an Altersoul. Plunged into this dangerous world of paranormal monsters and demon hunters, Nijel Rooke fights for more than just his survival—wanting to keep the promise he made with his brother under the blood moon. “But it’s not enough, brother,” Nijel told Mikel while gazing up at the Star Beacon. “Power means nothing if you’re not the most powerful.” From struggling in the Gutter of Sanctuary, to becoming the wealthiest and strongest man in all of Verve and beyond, this is the story of Nijel Rooke: The Dealmaker. The Phantom Vanquisher who advanced his soul from an Acolyte to an Avatar, uniting all the Vanquisher clans under him to fight back against another Era of Ruin—exorcising, reaping, and purging all the Phantoms of the Other Side.

I was just making up techniques... how did all of you become Emperors?

Chu Feng transmigrates to the vast and mysterious Xuantian Continent, a world where strength determines everything. But unlike others, he can’t cultivate at all. Just when it seems like he’s destined to remain weak and irrelevant, he suddenly awakens a strange system—one that allows him to grow stronger by accepting disciples. Lacking any real knowledge of cultivation techniques, Chu Feng does the only thing he can: he bluffs. He starts recruiting disciples using made-up martial arts and nonsense teachings, hoping to trick the system into making him stronger. What he never expected was that his disciples would take his nonsense seriously—and actually master the techniques he invented. Not just that, they go on to become terrifyingly powerful, shaking the world with their strength. A hundred years later, as his disciples stand at the peak of the cultivation world, one by one becoming legendary Emperors, Chu Feng can only look on in disbelief and mutter: “I made up those techniques… how did you all become Emperors?” ================================================================ Why You Should Read This: The main character doesn’t become overpowered overnight. This isn’t one of those stories where the protagonist takes in one disciple and instantly starts dominating everyone. Chu Feng has to build his strength gradually, and his progress feels earned. It avoids the usual face-slapping, power-trip routine. In the early chapters, you won’t find constant revenge arcs or exaggerated drama. The story takes its time and lets the world—and characters—develop naturally. There’s a subtle layer of humor. The contrast between Chu Feng’s nonsense teachings and the dead-serious disciples who actually succeed with them adds a light, clever touch that keeps the story fun without turning into full comedy. It plays with familiar cultivation tropes while adding a twist. If you’re used to reading xianxia or progression fantasy, you’ll recognize the structure—but this novel bends the formula in some refreshing ways.
