Solo Leveling in Secret Realms (Riding the coattails of Solo Leveling)
Fantasy novelist Lu Zhaoran attends a fan gathering, only to be crushed by a falling ceiling while saving his editor.
His body is cremated promptly, allowing his soul to possess a hidden spatial rift and become an unknown secret realm in his own novel.
As a secret realm, he can grow stronger by absorbing the souls of the dead.
So Lu Zhaoran sets up trial after trial, turning the realm into a blood-soaked wasteland strewn with corpses and piled with bones.
He doesn't want the secret realm to vanish into the dust of history and be forgotten.
So he brings forth rare treasures, drawing crowds of visitors until the secret realm becomes famous throughout the world.
Lu Zhaoran continues opening up spatial rifts, from the ruins of ancient immortals to the tomb of the banished immortal's tears, from the Water Garden Realm to the River of Fallen Gods, and from the Land of Blazing Suns to the Ashen Abyss that Locks Away the Phoenix.
Lu Zhaoran establishes one sect sanctuary after another, nurtures generations of heavenly prodigies, and creates forbidden zones of death one by one.
