The End of the Betrothal

**Chronotopic Framework** The narrative inhabits a Sinocentric parallel universe where ancient cosmology permeates hypermodernity. Temporal strata include: - **2005**: The Gu clan immolation in Jiangnan’s lotus marshes—108 kin consumed by *Nirvanic Fire* bearing the Celestial Court’s sigils. - **2025**: Gu Chen’s descent from Kunlun’s glacial ziggurats, bearing twin legacies—the *Golden Meridian* pulse diagnosis and *Bagua* death touch refined over two decades. - **Warring States Era Echoes**: Spectral visions of the *Qilin’s martyrdom during the casting of the *Xuanyuan Blade* in molten stardust. Spatial axes oscillate between Kunlun’s *Nine Dragons Altar—where the *Shennong Crucible* brews primordial chaos—and Shanghai’s vertiginous skyscrapers, where boardroom mergers veil blood oaths. The apotheosis unfolds during a *Crimson Hyacinth Eclipse* where celestial mechanics and human will collide. --- #### **Protagonist & Existential Paradox** **Gu Chen**, last scion of the eradicated *Golden Pulse* lineage, embodies the healer-warrior antinomy: *a saint who must become deicide*. His vendetta against the Celestial usurpers unravels as he discovers his quintuple betrothals are geomancy rituals to siphon China’s *Dragon Vein Qi* into the Kunlun Abyss. The **cardinal conflict** bifurcates: 1. **Ontological**: His Hippocratic oath clashes with the *Qilin Scar*’s wrath—a living tattoo that erupts in fractal flames during berserker states. 2. **Cosmological**: Destroying the celestial hierarchy risks unstitching the *Three Realms’* Taiji membrane, unleashing primordial *Hundun* chaos. --- #### **Narrative Architecture** **1. Inciting Catalyst** Gu’s descent with a moth-eaten marriage scroll binding five aristocrats: - **Ye Qingxue (Metal)**: Cryogenic pharmaceutical magnate whose spinal *Bagua scars* resonate with Gu massacre coordinates. Her monthly *Golden Needle* detox sessions leak memories of the Celestial pyromancers. - **Lin Jiuge (Water)**: Silver-screen siren clutching a jade *bi-disc—plundered from Gu’s mother’s rigor mortis grip—containing microfilm exposing *Project Black Tortoise*’s transgenic plagues. **2. Ascending Peripeteia** **Su Hongxui (Wood)**, the whip-wielding martial matriarch, drags Gu into her clan’s armory to decipher a stela: *“When Phoenix Quintessence ignites the Qilin’s Crucible, Heaven’s Mandate shatters.”* This catalyzes tripartite trials: - **Corporate Geomancy**: Ye’s hostile takeover unleashes *Feng Shui* miasmas in Lujiazui’s stock exchange, turning bankers into *Qi*-vampiric husks. - **Cinematic Necromancy**: Lin’s film set becomes a *Jiangshi* hive; Gu deploys *Flying Silver Needles* to sever corpse-demons’ *Du Mai* energy channels. **3. Cataclysmic Crescendo** The fifth fiancée, **Dantai Mingyue (Fire),** unveils her role as a celestial sleeper cell during Hong Kong’s harbor conflagration. Amidst exploding LNG tankers, she hisses, “Your blood isn’t a key—it’s the enzyme for their theogony!” * The denouement at Kunlun’s zenith during the *Nine Luminaries Conjunction: - **Ethical Abyss**: Ye self-injects a *Huangdi*-strain retrovirus, demanding Gu annihilate four fiancées for the antidote. - **Cosmogonic Duel**: Gu simultaneously channels the *Shennong Crucible* to filter tainted *Qi* while parrying Dantai’s *Xingtian* mech-suit with the *Xuanyuan Blade*’s spacetime-slashing edge. **4. Ambiguous Resolution** The epilogue reveals Gu severing the Celestial *Qi* umbilical at the cost of his Qilin essence. Three cosmic riddles endure: - The absent *Purple Pivot Star* in the betrothal astrolabe hints at a sixth fiancée—Gu’s supposedly stillborn twin. - Dantai’s quantum-entangled AI core (exposed via retinal glitches) probes whether synthetic consciousness can house *human* souls. - A post-credits hologram shows Lin decrypting footage of Gu’s father preserved in a *Project Kunlun 002* cryopod guarded by terracotta androids.

Fractured Paths

Fractured Paths In a fractured world ruled by Prismatic Energy, powerful factions vie for control of ancient ruins known as Convergence Points—sources of untamed energy capable of reshaping the very fabric of existence. Amid the chaos, two young warriors, Elara Myris and Oran Daris, struggle to survive as their faction crumbles under the relentless assault of the Crimson Veil, a ruthless group led by the enigmatic and dangerous Lucius Malvernis. Elara, a resourceful but inexperienced wielder of a subtle energy disruption ability, and Oran, a brash fighter who commands threads of energy to manipulate his environment, are forced to flee into the unknown. Their path is shaped by the legendary figures Lyra and Kael—a pair of masterful warriors whose precision and ingenuity have made them myths in their own right. Lyra, with her unparalleled control of projectile trajectories, and Kael, a tactician who can swap positions with objects and later souls, become reluctant mentors to the struggling duo. As they journey across dangerous landscapes—from the shadowy marshes of Nytheria to the volcanic wastelands of Valoria—the young warriors uncover a deadly truth: the Convergence Points are more than energy sources. They are remnants of a forgotten era, tied to the destruction of the ancient world, and Lucius seeks to harness their power to create a devastating weapon. To stop him, Elara and Oran must grow into the warriors they aspire to be, learning not only from the skills of Lyra and Kael but also from their own failures. But in a world where strength often comes at the cost of humanity, the line between survival and sacrifice blurs. With every Convergence Point they destroy, the stakes rise—and so does the price they must pay. “Fractured Paths” is a dark, character-driven fantasy about resilience, growth, and the bonds forged in the crucible of conflict. In a world where power corrupts and legends cast long shadows, it asks: what does it truly mean to be strong?

DIABOLICAL QUEEN

Ang mundo ay napupuno ng makakasalanang hindi alam ang tama at mali. Ito'y puno ng mga nilalang ng iba't iba ang mga iniisip at ninanais. Paano kung ang ating mundo ay umikot lamang sa dalawang kagustuhan? Ang mabuhay at ang mamuno...alin dito ang mas nanaisin mong abutin? Maaari bang dalawa ang iyong piliiin? Isang araw ang payapang kadiliman ay nasira ng mga hiyawang humihingi ng saklolo. Saklolo ng mga taong makasalanan, makasalanang nais marinig ng mga taong minamaliit nila't inaalipusta. Ang mga inalipustang dinadama ang mga hiyawan na sakanila'y lumalabas. Ang apoy ay kanilang kinakain, ang mga makasalnan ay kanilang pinapatay. Ngunit ano nga ba ang pagigign makasalanan? Ano ba ang nagawa ng mga makakasalanan? Bago natin isipin ang mga iyan ay ipapaliwanag ko muna ang kasalukuyang nangyayari sa kwento. Sa kanilang mundo ay may dalawang katungkulan, kung mayaman ka'y nasa taas ka at kung mahirap ka'y nasa baba ka. Ano nga ba ang pantayan sa pagiging mayaman at mahirap? Pera? Bahay? Kagamitan? o Pamilya? Pag mamahal? Iba-iba ang ating paniniwala ngunit ang mundong ito ay pera ang pantayan. Kung mahirap ka'y alila't mamaltratuhin ka, at kung mayaman ka'y magagawa mo ang lahat ng nanaisin mo sa buhay mo. Ngunit isang araw isang bahay ang tinupok ng apoy at ang apoy na iyon ay kumalat sa lahat ng bahay. Matapos mapatay ang apoy ay nag labasan ang mga nilalang na nag aapoy at nag simula nang patayin ang mga taong makasalanan sa mga mata nila. Ang kanilang napapatay ay kanilang nagiging alagad. Sila ay hindi kumakain ng tao dahil ang apoy ang kanilang kinakain, kain nga ba iyong kung tatawagin? Ilang araw ang nag daan kumalat na ang mga nag aapoy na nilalang na iyon ngunit sa araw na din na iyon isang supling ang biniyayaan ng kakayahang hindi pantao. Si Acardianne Luis.

Vampire Cultivation System in a Hidden World of Monsters

Turned into a vampire with no political backing, wealth, or power, Dylan immediately tries to become the strongest there is. Facing numerous dungeon breaks and a coming invasion of unknown origin, Dylan must do everything he can to fight back. In the process, Dylan tries to make the world a better place in his way, by taking control of as much land and women as he can. Watch as Dylan amasses power and influence among monsters and humans and rises to the top in more ways than one. -- This is ultimately an action vampire cultivation story, but there will be harem and lemons, and I'm sure people have questions about that so I'll answer them here. -No netorare. The MC never gets cucked. -No yuri. Two characters discuss past feelings but they never get together and there is no physical or romantic intimacy. -Yes there is one instance of netori. The mc steals a guy's girl because he abandoned her and left her for dead. Literally. -Also, there will be monster girls! Lots and lots of monster girls! -Large harem warning for those who don't like large harems. -- NSFW images on Discord! Literally hundreds of NSFW images! Spend hours lurking while doom scrolling or joy scrolling (idk your style) b00bies and p0rn images. I even have images depicting every lemon scene. Seriously. If you like art to go with your reading, this is the book for you. Discord server link is: https://discord.gg/redmarsh (Yes you will have to type out the link, but I guarantee you it's worth it!)
