And anyone who got in his way should simply be eliminated. ************ Contents ************ Arc 01: Plain of The Ancient Peach Tree (ongoing) - Volume 01: Starting Over With a New System (01-16) - Volume 02: The Peach Tree Trial (ongoing) - Volume 03: The War of the Minor Sects Arc 02: Infernal Volcano Arc 03: Submerged City Arc 04: Mount Weiwei Arc 05: Endless Dungeon

Daniella hates the holidays. To her, they’re anything but magical. Christmas? A snowy night stole her parents in a car crash. New Year’s Eve? That’s when she caught her fiance cheating. Even Halloween is cursed, her beloved cat died on that very night. Every holiday brings heartbreak, so Daniella does the only thing that keeps her sane: she escapes to her secluded beach house, far from festive cheer and painful memories. But this Christmas, peace isn’t on the agenda. A storm delivers an unexpected guest, a mysterious, storm-battered man lying unconscious on her beach.

Eunice, a wealthy and powerful widow, was the epitome of success. To the world, she was an ambitious woman, admired and revered for her achievements. But beneath her façade of power and grace lay a dark truth. Behind the scenes, Eunice was far from virtuous—her empire was built on foundations most would not dare to explore. Her carefully constructed life began to crumble when she encountered Mammon, the self-proclaimed First Son of Satan. A seemingly ordinary vase became the catalyst for a life-altering confrontation. Mammon, angered by her audacity to tamper with his artifact, presented Eunice with a sinister punishment: three wishes she must make. But Eunice, ever strong-willed and defiant, refused to bow to the whims of a creature she called a "witch." Their encounters became a battle of wills, her unyielding nature clashing against his overwhelming power. Yet, even the strongest resolve can falter. As Mammon revealed unsettling truths about her past and the people closest to her, Eunice’s world grew increasingly unstable. The most shocking revelation? Her late husband Gabriel—a man she loved deeply—may not have been who she thought. The power she held, her wealth, and her influence, were all pieces of a darker puzzle. Aurora, her seemingly innocent daughter, was not just hers but the child of something far more sinister. When Eunice finally uttered her first wish—"I want my dead lover to return to me"—she unknowingly set events in motion that could tear apart everything she had ever built. “Dead husband?” Mammon sneered, his crimson eyes glinting with dark amusement. “Are you sure that’s what you want, Madam? Do you even know who he truly was?”

I died. That's obvious. But I was reborn. How? Don't ask me. Maybe it was some god. A divine being? Ah- It doesn't matter. My life burned away and now- well I'm stuck here in this black void. This dungeon. Maybe I had lived a pious last life. Laughable as that was. But I was given a second chance. Told to grow my dungeon, to create hulking monstrosities that would destroy the world. In short, I am now a villain. I am the consciousness of the dungeon, the little orb at the end my body. And still I live. A projection of a body is created - a trap - and I am that. I am the one to guide foolish adventurers to their death. My looks are curated. Soft features that entrap the mind. I am the dungeon. I am the projection, I am human, and I am the dungeon. And I will conquer all. Every being will bow before my might. "Before you're cuteness~" Ah- heh- that too... help... I didn't ask to look this cute!
