Descendants Of A Bookworm

A Tithe Of Blood, A Bloom Of Love

In a forgotten corner of a vampire-ruled world, sixteen-year-old Elira, a quiet shepherd girl, lives a simple life among the hills—her days filled with tending sheep, caring for her younger sister Lilin, and sharing soft-spoken moments with Nicholas, the nobleman’s son and her father’s old friend’s child. What blooms between Elira and Nicholas is young love: gentle, hesitant, and pure—untouched by the brutal world beyond their valley. But their peace is short-lived. Each spring, the vampires demand a Blood Tax—a girl from each village offered to serve at the estate of a vampire lord. When the cruel hand of fate comes knocking, Elira’s name is chosen. Though the lord originally asked for her younger sister, her stepmother—driven by jealousy and self-interest—manipulates her father, Mr. Smith, into sending Elira instead. The choice is cemented when Elira learns her father owes a blood debt to the lord, forcing her to serve not for one year, but for several. Torn from her home, her love, and her dreams, Elira is taken to the vampire’s cold, towering estate where she is kept alive solely for her blood. She is neither harmed nor seduced, but her life is drained slowly—physically and emotionally—under strict rules, cruel servants, and a master whose gaze grows darker with time. As Elira struggles to survive the punishing routine, small mercies shine through: the kindness of a quiet housemaid, a secret song hummed at night, and memories of Nicholas that keep her soul intact. But when a mysterious northern vampire lord attends a decadent party and sees Elira, he recognizes something in her eyes—something that stirs memories of a girl he once saved from drowning. She is not for sale… yet he is not a man who is easily denied. A deal is struck in secret. And Elira’s fate takes a darker, more dangerous turn—away from one vampire’s estate and into the chilling unknown of another lord’s domain. A story of love, sacrifice, betrayal, and quiet rebellion, a tithe of blood , a bloom of love explores the strength of a young girl forced to grow up too soon, and a romance that dares to survive in a world ruled by monsters.

Matthew, a 25-year-old otaku, never imagined his obsession with fantasy worlds would turn into reality—until a fatal gas leak ended his life and transported him to another world.

Until we meet again, I expect you to have conquered this world.” And with that, Claude awakened to a power beyond his imagination—the legendary system he had longed for. Yet, as he soon realized, it was no system at all. [Oh? So you expect me to be like the ones in your memories?] [A system that grants you quests and guides your hand?] [Very well.] [Welcome to the Elysium of Darkness System, Lord of Calamity.] A series of commands etched themselves into his mind, each word dripping with ominous purpose.

Selena's Last Descendant

Originally just a little BL smut for my self fun [The male lead is gay and the novel will contain explicit sexual content in few chapters] Victor - or Vi, was a baby happened to be found by a herb gatherer, in some wooden basket in the middle of nowhere. He ends up in an orphanage - growing well under Mother Anise care with his siblings until he eventually got adopted at 10. 'Dont forget to write to us okay!', Ray, a 10 years old boy who grew up with the other orphans represented the family of current 14 people. Vi entered the carriage of the local lord, Lord Miaster. He got intrigued by the violet eyes and white hair - a characteristic of an ancient tribe of 'human', made by Selena the Moon Goddess Herself. He loves ancient history of the Erde - the world they are in. Although... in just 2 years, the Lord's family, was eventually executed for 'treason' under a cover of 'accident'. Vi was not informed of the political matters early on, and he too never cared for it - and aren't really aware of what his adoptive parent did to warrant their ending. He eventually got displaced into the slums when he was just 12. The slums aren't as bad under the policies of the kingdom. There's even a newly built public bathhouse and small hospital for them recently. Thankfully, he had learn basics to magic in those 2 years and manage to get by by himself for awhile doing chores for the adventurer guild. They restrict magic beasts hunting and exploration for those under 15 so although Vi thinks he could do it with his skills, he can only do chores for a while. After a month of settling himself, he writes a letter to the orphanage, to tell about things that had happened. Usually mother Anise reply would reach in 2 weeks or so... but he never got a reply. He ride the carriage across 2 towns and reached the place... only to find in horror the building was scorched and in ruin. Panicking, he ran to the adventurer guild and ask for information. A large fire engulfed the place a month ago - killing all the residents. Vi was beyond heartbroken - but Vi who had memories from his past life recently recovered after such traumatic experience, at least had better mentality with those past memories. It still took years to move on, and it still pains him when he remembers the family he had. But life has to go on. Eventually 2 years later an old magician scholar, Magi Timaeus took notice of Vi - and wanted to take him in as a student because of his talent in magic. Vi was very interested in magic and agreed. Timaeus was not a good parental figure and he's more like a teacher that always absent, staying in his room and when he is there he would only check Vi's progress as he gave tons of books for Vi to read and practice on. In a sense Vi was self taught. There's an emotional gap between them, but Vi is still thankful to him for the resources that normal people will never get - well, at least if they aren't rich or have high enough position. He can now instant cast simple spells - and modify simple ones to his liking. Magic is more like programming of the world - using Language of the World - called Origin. Until one fateful day, in the middle of the night, he was awoken by a huge explosion and a loud ringing in his ears. He stood up in his pajamas, gulping his saliva. He hears more explosions and the walls and the floor shaking and cracks appears on the building. An adventure awaits him, as he move from town to town to cross the country with Ray - who were close to killing him that night.
