Description

This is for NaNoWriMo2023 but cannot be for Royal Roads, because full on there will be some sexual content. We are doing an old fashioned magical tale and things can get a little earthy.Take a cultivation world, a hero summoning, and a Heathen ex soldier who choses to take his nieces place in the hero summoning. Add a demonic conspiracy and you are prepared to start our journey. A classical Northern European pagan set loose in classical Asian cultivation mysticism with little in the way of a clue, and a short countdown to a war humanity is working hard to lose.

Short and fast paced, and really quite excellent.
While the story could benefit from a slower pace at times to immerse the reader it is a very fun read that benefits from excellent world building.
I would definitely recommend this as one of the best blendings of cultivation and western fantasy that I have come across.
I dedicate this review to Odin.

This is a very quirky short story. I could say a lot about the story in the abstract, but I think I'd rather focus briefly on what it is and why it's not what the title and synopsis make it seem like.
First, it's about a military man getting isekai'd to a cultivation work and using his rudimentary understanding of his Norse traditions to upend the traditional understanding of cultivation in the world he's summoned to.
Well that explains the first word of the title; what about the rest?
"Impregnated" here is used metaphorically.
I think it either means that he got a piece of Odin in his soul or he got 10 demons in his soul.
That said, he does later in the story have a wife and she ends up pregnant, but only barely and I don' think that's what's being referred to.
"Hung" is referring to the fact that after he gets summoned, he hangs himself in order to draw upon some of the mystic power of his Norse tradition. No one else hangs him, and it does not kill him either.
"Good times" is being used as slang I think. Like, wow that story about what we did in our past was crazy.... good times.
So, that's that.
Overall, it's a decent, if decidedly quirky progression story.
Finally, if the first chapter turns you off, I'd suggest going on to the second. The first chapter is a real aberration and doesn't reflect well the rest of the story.
