Rituals Bathrobe

Orin Stonewood rises from a prestigious smithing family in the Astral Kingdom. Wealth, recognition, excellence, and charisma - he had it all. But life from twenty-five ended on such terms for him. He falls victim to a dark ritual. The fate after this mystery was to rise and fall in every life he reincarnates in. The ninth reincarnation made him Zmey Ashbane. Into a world of terrifying, exciting tales. It seemed as if every encounter in this world wanted to tie him down for some reason. But he knew his goal. To break free from the ritual and rise as a master of fate, not its pawn. (Update rate: 28 new chapters a week) (The book has a slow progression. If, after reading up to chapter 100, nothing in this story interests you, that means it isn’t for you.) Due to the progression, I will lock the novel at chapter 60.

In a remote Chinese village shrouded in mystery, every year, on the night of the lunar eclipse, strange and terrifying occurrences plague the area. Visitors vanish without a trace, and locals whisper of ancient spirits tied to a long-lost dynasty. A skeptical detective arrives in the village, determined to solve the case of the missing people. However, as supernatural events unfold, the detective’s disbelief is challenged, and they find themselves caught in the sinister web of the village’s curse. The deeper they dig, the closer they get to uncovering a forbidden ritual that could either break the curse or doom them all.

Thirteen years later, Wei Wuxian is reborn. Summoned by a young man who sacrificed his soul in a forbidden ritual, Wei Wuxian is now bound to seek vengeance on the stranger's behalf or risk the destruction of his own soul.

A cada ano, em cada uma das sete aldeias que constituíam o grande Reino de Ignas, um Ritual de Escolha era realizado. Durante este Ritual de Escolha, uma das damas da aldeia seria escolhida para ser a noiva temida do Rei Dragão. Ninguém sabia exatamente por que o ritual era realizado todos os anos ou o que acontecia com as noivas que haviam sido escolhidas no passado. Ele as estava transformando em escravas? Alimentando-as ao seu dragão? Ou ele estava... se alimentando delas? Isso não podia ser descartado. Afinal, havia rumores de que o rei não era como eles, que ele não era humano. Mas a questão incessantemente perturbava o coração do povo. Para que ele as estava usando?! Mas eles não ousavam questionar o Rei, com medo do que o destino de se opor a ele seria. De qualquer forma, nada disso era problema de Belladonna. Embora fosse a vez de sua aldeia produzir uma noiva este ano, ela tinha certeza de que não seria escolhida. Por quê? Bem, porque ela tinha um plano e estava absolutamente certa de que ele não falharia... ou falharia?

We were a peaceful people living in harmony with nature in the vast lands of Lyréanor, but this peace was short-lived when our people were defeated by the dark elves, an ancient people even older than this world. It is said that they arrived in Lyréanor by boat and since their arrival, chaos has been unleashed. Proud of their obscure power, derived from dark rituals, they have raised gigantic armies of monsters whose name is synonymous with terror: ‘Obscurus’. They went on the rampage, and everywhere they went the grass didn't grow back, life died and disintegrated. Seven, there were seven. The seven dark elves known as the Lords of the Apocalypse. A single gesture from them was enough to strike us all down, a single gesture from one of them was enough to decimate us in blood and terror. And as I, Foster, contemplate the macabre scene before me, the bloodied and deformed bodies of my fellow elfes beings, and as death grips my soul, a strange sign appeared before me. [Ding...

DISCLAIMER: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE ********************************** Hades smirked, then leaned back, pulling her fully into his lap. She gasped in surprise, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck for balance. “If you’re going to tease me, you might as well do it properly,” he said, his deep voice filled with mischief. “Oh?” she challenged, raising an eyebrow. He leaned in and kissed her lips. She moaned against his lips, her pussy beginning to throb and she did her best to squeeze her thighs shut and hide the fact that she was overwhelmingly horny. Her body was begging to be touched. His cool skin felt amazing against hers and she wanted him to touch the one area that needed it the most, one that he had made sure he didn't go too near with. Hades hands slid down to her ass and squeezed gently, she moaned against his mouth and tightened her grip in his hair, never wanting his lips to stray from her skin. "Hades..." she moaned needingly as he moved his lips down her neck. "Yes, princess?" he murmured softly against the sensitive skin of her neck. "More, please." She begged and he nipped at her skin. "Tell me exactly what you want." he said to her. "Touch me, please. I need you to touch me." She moaned. ********************************** When Aurelia stumbles upon an ancient summoning ritual and performs it out of curiosity, she unknowingly binds herself to Hades, the brooding King of the Underworld.

With gods, love, and destiny at war, Aurelia must decide whether to embrace the bond that has chained her to Hades or break free from a world that was never meant for her.

Ray, the direct heir of the Primordial Imperial Family, is betrayed by the one person he trusted most, his beloved girlfriend. Consumed by heartbreak and despair, he dies in the depths of madness, never even realizing that she was forced into her actions. She had her own reasons, but it was too late for Ray to understand. With his final breath, he curses his past love: "If there is a next life, I wish I never fall in love with you... No, I would never. I don't even want to see your face again."

Like most candidates, Zlatan's dream was a simple one. To pass the hunter's test, join a guild, hunt monsters and reach the A-class. Eventually, as he dreamed of, he achieved it hundreds of years later. Having sacrificed more than he could take in, using the most unthinkable and brutal measures, he became an S-class Hunter instead. Obtaining the Copper Flame back then after the Aura Awakening Ritual, that was his greatest flaw. Taking a span of 80 years to reach a D-class. Still, Zlatan Elmore became the most powerful hunter to exist. Falling on the battlefield against a Two-horned Dragon, he suddenly awoke as his 30 year old self. Given another chance at life, he didn't only have his memories but he's also given a Blank Scroll. This mysterious scroll doesn't only speak, its omniscient!

Humans hunt beast-folk. Beast-folk hunt humans. Three words mark the difference between dying and surviving: stalk, strike, survive. Bran knew the hunter's silver arrows from the prey's side. Felt them punch through pack-mate flesh. Watched his wolf-kin fall. Then came the Hunter in Black. The blood ritual. The burning. The transformation stripped his fur. His fangs. Left him raw in human skin. A beast-kin turned human. Now he hides among humans. Hunts for the guild. Climbs their ranks. Uses beast-knowledge to fill graves. Each kill brings fragments back - black robes, carved runes, Ariana's final scream. Power grows in his bones. Wild. Hungry. Like the Beast Kings of old. The choice claws at him: be the protector his kind desperately needs, or surrender to the blood-thrill singing in his new veins and live the life of a beast master. A human beast master. Either way, someone bleeds. --- Human vs beast fights? Yes. High personal stakes? Yes. Well developed side characters? Yes. A little smut? Yes, but only when it makes sense. Weak to strong? Yes. Our MC has to work hard to make the life he wants. Light Romance? Possibly. But no relationships are forced. Everything must feel earned and natural. [It's going to be a long, wild ride.

"The heavenly dog ​​rises from the earth and falls into the sunset. The sky is as red as blood, and the lucky star retreats into nothingness. In the vastness, a man stumbles forward, paving the way with difficulty, and blood is spilled with every step. Only a stalk of chrysanthemum withers behind him." This is a prophecy that no one can interpret, but some people say that this is my fate. Others say that the ritual officials are involved in yin and yang, are good at tombs, and cover up the secrets of heaven. The nobles of ancient times were all buried in their hands to protect future generations. In the end, they did not die well, and I could not escape it. But I don't accept it...

Once a nameless human slave, Yur’s existence was defined by blood, pain, and chains—until he stumbled into Zulmasharr, the realm of demons. In the depths of despair, a near-death encounter unlocked the horrifying truth of his existence: he is no mere mortal. A cursed hybrid of human and demon, Yur’s survival was only possible through the fiery rebirth of his Ashkavaal bloodline and the awakening of his sinister cultivation system, Zul. With Zul, Yur can rear demons for rituals, harvest their power, and dominate the cruel, chaotic world around him. But freedom comes at a cost. As the unwitting successor to a forgotten being, his every step is shadowed by the weight of a destiny he neither asked for nor desires. Yur craves only one thing: to stay free, unbound by gods, demons, or men. Yet his growing power and fractured bloodline ignite the interest of forces that would see him enslaved or destroyed. Yur must navigate a world of horrors where trust is a weakness, survival is war, and his very existence is a weapon. Blood will spill, flames will rise, and demons will kneel—or die. But in the end, is freedom even possible for the bearer of a bloodline forged from fire and ash? Will Yur conquer his fate—or will it enslave him?

What exactly does it mean to be his bride? *** Every year, in each of the seven villages that made up the great Kingdom of Ignas, a Choosing Ritual was conducted. During this Chosing Ritual, one of the ladies in the village would be chosen to be the dreaded Dragon King's Bride. No one knew exactly why the ritual was being performed every year or what happened to the brides that had been chosen in the past. Was he turning them into slaves? Feeding them to his dragon? Or was he... feeding on them? That couldn't be ruled out. After all, there were rumours that the king wasn't like them, that he wasn't human. Yet the question relentlessly troubled the people's heart. What was he using them for?! But they dared not question the King, afraid of what fate daring to go against him would be. Anyways, none of these was Belladonna's business. Although it was her village's turn to produce a bride this year, she was certain she wouldn't get chosen. Why? Well, because she had a plan and she was absolutely certain it wouldn't fail her... or would it? *** Note - This novel contains mature content. - Cover isn't mine. Full credit to the artist.

The wind howled outside the palace, its icy fingers clawing at the stained-glass windows. Inside, the room was bathed in the warm glow of candles and the flickering fire in the hearth. Yet, the heat rising between Meribella and Edwyn had little to do with the flames. Meribella stood before him, her legs shackled, and her heart felt heavy each second, standing like a prisoner in front of him. “Edwyn..." Her voice trembled as she whispered his name, "Please, you must believe me. I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve always been loyal—to you and the Crown.” Edwyn, in a bathrobe with his hair still damp, stepped closer. His fingers traced her face, sending shivers down her spine. “I know you’re innocent, but palace rules are strict. Even I can’t bend them outright. Still...” He kneels at her feet and unlocks the shackles. “I won’t let anyone hurt you. I’ll speak to my father—the King—and clear your name.” As he rose, his fingers gently brushed over the bruises on her forehead, lingering slightly on her pale lips. "You should take a bath," he murmured in the most affectionate tonee. Meribella blinked, confused. "How...?" She was a prisoner, and such luxuries were not meant for her. Edwyn gestured toward the adjoining chamber. "There," he said, his attention never leaving her. "I want to spend a good time with you, Meribella. Now that you are in the palace..." He didn’t finish his sentence, instead brushing a few strands of her hair behind her ear. The gesture made her blush, her heart fluttering despite the circumstances. "You have always been kind, Edwyn," she said, averting her eyes. "I will be quick," she said, stepping away, only for him to catch her wrist. "You need help to bathe," he insisted, his voice firm. "I see bruises on your feet and your face." Meribella’s cheeks burned. In the palace, royals were accustomed to being naked before servants, but she was not raised in such luxury. The thought of being unclothed in front of maids made her stomach churn. “T-there’s no need for servants. I’ll be fine.” Edwyn smiled, tilting his head slightly. "Who mentioned anything about maids?" he queried teasingly, yet loaded with meaning. Meribella’s eyes grew wide when the meaning of his words hit her. Before she could answer, a low, mocking laugh echoed in the room. "How boring," a voice drawled, dripping with sarcasm, from near the window, lit by the moonlight. He stood in his red cloak, and his golden-flecked eyes shone with anger and curiosity, leaving Meribella and Edwyn speechless. It’s a world of mystic powers shrouded in mystery, where reincarnation binds fates, and dominance is driven by ambition. Predators become prey. Who is a friend, and who is an enemy? Trust is a dangerous game. They were never meant to fall in love. They were destined to erase each other’s existence, yet they defied fate.

The rise of steel and machinery marks a new era. Great castles loom over cities filled with clockwork automata and alchemical smoke, the world teeters on the edge of transformation.

Everyone he knows is dead and he has been transformed into something else. He uncovers a world of engimatic guilds, forbidden machines, magic, rituals, curses-each piece connected to the mystery of his transformation. The light of the machines shines brightly, yet the ancient gods slumber uneasily. Senna entangles with the various entities that dominate the world, while he gains more power and searches for a way to return to normal. Chapters uploaded on Mon, Wed, and Fri

Very sensitive topics are dealt in this book and it happens early on to provide context which I don't know how readers would view it. But this is what would make sense of the weird characters and sometimes foolish decisions that I myself can not understand. [WSA 2025 Entry] In the bustling city of Metropolis in the World of Tamers, on the 18th birthday of its citizens, one goes through a binding ritual -a rite of passage- if successful you get a Pet, Companion, Entity, anything you want to call it and if you are not successful you lose your life, simple. There is nothing to worry about, with a success rate of 9%, not many go through it but if binding is successful, you get access to the privileges of high society, a life of comfort and luxury. Where do these Pets originate? What purpose do they serve? And why is such a binding necessary? What matters is the future that one can have so why bother about the past and its mysteries? After all, why dwell on the unknown when the path to prosperity lies clear? There will be companions lost, whether by your hands, your friend, or your enemy, all of which is part of the journey. What matters is how much you are willing to sacrifice for the dream only you share. This is a story of different people on their journey to the lives they dream of. They will encounter adversaries and be faced with some decisions and doubt if this dream they pursue is quite achievable but it is all part of the story, their story or a story they will all share

What if you needed the pain to discover the truth you were born for? These were my words when I left that hideous path This was the result of rituals and plans woven by the tyrants of the Church, who wove a fate that bound me to a path that I could neither escape nor understand.
