He didn’t open the book. The book opened him." Seventeen-year-old Jude Mercer thought his life was already a cosmic joke— homeless, broke, and haunted by trauma he never asked for. But everything changes the night he finds a strange, leather-bound book behind a dumpster. A book that… breathes. What he unleashes isn't a spell. It's Ereth-Kaal—an eldritch, sadistic curse older than time. Now bound to Jude’s body, Ereth-Kaal can only feed through him. And feed he will. Jude sets one rule: No women. No kids. No innocents. Ereth-Kaal agrees… mostly. But as bodies pile up, and Jude’s morality erodes under the weight of blood and guilt, one question claws at his soul: Is he still the host... or becoming the monster? Violent. Heartbreaking. Darkly hilarious. UNDER MY SKIN is a descent into madness wrapped in teeth, tentacles, and trauma.

In the world of Aetheria, where magic is everywhere, war rages between two powerful regions; Elysium, the realm of light and order, and Erebos, the realm of darkness and chaos. A war caused by the unknown, forgotten past. Prepare to enter a world where magic is both a blessing and a curse.

Sudden reappearance of Mytharok - a world cloaked in mystery and ancient claims - disrupts everything. The so-called guardians of cosmic balance emerge from obscurity, speaking of dangers beyond comprehension and trials resembling the beginning of recorded history. The charted worlds need to brace themselves for the future. Caught in the current of the events are two reluctant figures. Fengyu, the disillusioned younger brother of a ruler, floats above it all with cultivated indifference. He claims to want nothing - no power, no purpose - but beneath his nonchalance lies a restless question: is his detachment freedom, or merely fear? He finds himself, against his will, 'sent' to the Temple of Mytharok, but really just wants to go home. Mokai, raised to be flawless and invisible, begins to crack under the weight of others’ expectations. Trained to serve, never to desire, he now is faced with choices that require more than perfection - they demand honesty. But everything and everyone around him seems to have their own private hidden agenda. As their world collides with an alien one, they are drawn into the long fogotten history of the First Gates and the mystery of Firme. They must confront the open secrets long ignored, the forces that shaped the very structure of the universe. In that shifting landscape, nothing remains as it was - not the world, not the balance of power, and certainly not who they believed themselves to be. For the greatest collision may not be between worlds - but between who they were, and who they are becoming. And that is only the beginning...

Note: This is an original story written by TIGR4, not a translation of a novel. Just adding this line to avoid misunderstandings since the title sounds very Chinese... which is intentional. ================================ An avid Xianxia reader suddenly has his dream come true—he wakes up in a world of cultivation. The only problem? Maybe it wasn’t really his dream after all. Now, faced with the daunting reality of countless cultivation realms to climb, countless worlds to ascend through, and countless arrogant young masters to deal with, despair begins to settle in. Fortunately, a glimmer of hope appears amidst the chaos: a mysterious system that could change everything. Armed with elders, ancestors, and a sect leader—who are all actually his own avatars—he no longer feels completely overwhelmed. “At least I don't have to do it all alone… well, technically, I do. They're just avatars, after all.” ------------------------------------------------ Notes: - This story initially had a harem tag, as I wasn't sure whether that possibility might come up and decided to leave it open. However, as the plot has progressed, I now believe that such a scenario is highly unlikely, so I've removed the tag. Of course, I can’t predict the future — it’s possible the main character could enter a second relationship at some very distant point, but again, that seems extremely unlikely. So far, there hasn't been even a hint of a second relationship, and the current one makes it seem nearly impossible for that to happen. - The avatars are directly controlled by the MC, like multiple bodies sharing the same mind. - Despite the MC’s multiple bodies, only his main body will be involved in any romance. - As for the update schedule: I try to release chapters daily, occasionally taking one or two days off per week. Standard update time is around 12 AM (New York time), but this can vary. - If you enjoy the story, please consider leaving a review!
