Once Human Fortune Teller Key

The Forsaken Key

Im Minsu, a young woman who returns to her quiet village after failing her graduation exams. With the weight of disappointment heavy on her shoulders, she seeks solace in the familiar surroundings of her childhood home, a hanok nestled in the heart of nature. However, what should have been a peaceful retreat quickly spirals into a series of mysterious events that shatter the calm. Minsu soon uncovers that her aunt, who disappeared without a word when Minsu was still in high school, had been involved in a dangerous pact with dark forces. Her aunt's sudden departure wasn't a simple escape—it was an attempt to shield Minsu from a curse that now seems to have followed her home. In the village, Minsu crosses paths with Kim Hyowon, the enigmatic owner of a local tea shop. His cryptic warnings and strange behavior draw her deeper into the web of dark magic that her aunt had been entangled in. As she delves into the mystery of her aunt's disappearance and the shadowy forces at play, Minsu learns that the curse is not only tied to her family but to her very existence. As she navigates the haunting truths of the past, Minsu must confront powerful spirits and unravel her aunt’s secrets in order to stop the curse from consuming her too. Alongside Hyowon, who harbors his own hidden past, Minsu embarks on a journey to uncover the truth, facing trials that test her courage and strength. But the deeper she delves into the mystery, the more she realizes that the battle is not just about survival—it’s about reclaiming her future and her identity, even if it means confronting the ghosts of her past and the sins that have haunted her family for years.

The key of underworld

Sukhdeep "Sukhi" Singh, the undisputed king of Asia's underworld, is dead. His seemingly routine public execution, orchestrated by rival Sanjay Shukla, ignites a firestorm that threatens to consume the continent. But Sukhi's death is not the end; it's the beginning of a brutal war of succession, a scramble for power that will leave cities burning and loyalties shattered. Before his demise, Sukhi, a man of cunning and foresight, anticipated the inevitable power vacuum. He secreted ten keys, each a piece of a puzzle that unlocks his vast empire – hidden fortunes, strategic alliances, and deadly secrets capable of reshaping the criminal landscape. These keys are not mere physical objects; they are fragments of Sukhi's legacy, each leading to a different facet of his meticulously constructed network. As news of Sukhi's death spreads, his former lieutenants, trusted confidantes, and ambitious rivals emerge from the shadows. They are a diverse and ruthless cast: hardened killers, tech-savvy hackers, cunning diplomats, and vengeful heirs, all driven by ambition, greed, or a desperate need for survival. The hunt for the ten keys becomes a deadly game, a high-stakes race where alliances are forged and broken with brutal efficiency. Each key unlocks a new layer of Sukhi's intricate plan, revealing hidden agendas and long-buried betrayals. The players navigate a treacherous web of double-crosses, assassinations, and clandestine operations, their paths crossing and clashing in a whirlwind of violence. From the opulent penthouses of Mumbai to the gritty back alleys of Bangkok, the search for the keys leads them across continents, pitting them against rival gangs, corrupt officials, and even shadowy government agencies. Each key discovered brings them closer to Sukhi's ultimate prize, but also deeper into a labyrinth of danger and deceit. As the body count rises and the stakes escalate, the true nature of Sukhi's legacy is revealed. Was he a benevolent king, a ruthless tyrant, or something far more complex? The answer lies hidden within the ten keys, and only the one who unlocks them all will inherit the throne of the underworld, forever changing the balance of power. But the question remains, will anyone survive the brutal war to claim it?

Once Human, Now a Parasite β

Arthur Bilgart was a successful and vastly wealthy businessman on Earth. However, he was kidnapped and tortured by his wife, Claudia, who was after everything he owned. He was tortured and isolated from the world for no less than a year before miserably dying. But death wasn't the end for he was reincarnated into a parasite in a foreign world. Volume 1: The Blood Purge (Chp 1 to 29) Volume 2 : The Mysterious Bottle (Chp 30 to 43) Volume 3 : The Bloated Murderer (Chp 44 to 65) Volume 4: Ruination (Pt1): Single-Minded Pursuit (Chp 66 to 86) Volume 4 : Ruination (Pt2): Feast of Lies and Sea of Spies (Chp8 to 128) Volume 5 : The Shadow Keep Penitentiary(Pt1): 'Why was the goose sad?'(Chp129 to ?) If you're interested in the premise, I will give some exposition on what to expect. First and foremost, the story, especially at the beginning, can have a slow pace to flesh out the world and characters. The plot will follow the parasite's second life in a new world in which Magic exists. Rather than focusing too much on non-stop and nonsensical fights, there will be a lot of focus on Arthur's psychological issues, his motives and beliefs. His views on the new world and opinions on moral relativism, the ruling aristocracy, the study of historical records and so on... Instead of a direct plot from beginning to end (Such as the generalized 'Defeat the Demon King), this story is more about self-discovery and the unravelling of ancient mysteries and forgotten history. It is about the character development of not only Arthur but other characters and how their actions affect the world. Arthur isn't inherently noble or unconditionally just, but he also isn't purely driven by lunacy or evil-oriented intentions. The MC is neither OP nor pitifully weak. This is not about someone reincarnated into a world just to become an undefeated force that simply kills everyone. There will be chapters dedicated to Lore or the travails of supporting characters. There are relatively detailed maps that I've created myself, which can be found here: The maps contain SPOILERS about regions and locations. https://ibb.co/xDPk4zz https://ibb.co/smKDgds There will be a System, one which isn't overly-complex nor too simplistic. In the beginning, at least, it is more of a visual and numerical representation of the MC's growth as he learns more about his Race and what it is capable of. Without delving into any details, the following are what you will find in this story: Exploring the world; Meeting new people, discovering fascinating cultures, deepening one's understanding of existence's history, delving into Politics. At some points, the story will be dark and quite disturbing. Chapters are between 1500 and 3000 words. One last thing: I'm not a native English-speaker, therefore, my grammar isn't flawless. I try my best to make everything coherent and enjoyable, but I might make a mistake or two along the way. If you notice anything, be sure to let me know and I will fix it. Apologies in advance and I hope you like the story.

Rebirth: The Fortune Farmer’s Revenge

The Tragic Past Life In the small village of Qinghe, nestled between rolling green hills and a winding river, Li Qingyun was born into a poor but honest farming family. Though they had little wealth, their love for one another was strong. Her father, Li Shengtian, was a hardworking farmer, and her mother, Madam Zhou, was a skilled cook who did her best to feed the family with their meager earnings. Qingyun had two younger brothers, Li Zhihao and Li Ming, both lively boys who adored their elder sister. However, their peaceful life was not without hardship. Their land was poor, and greedy relatives, including her uncle Li Bao, schemed to take what little they had. The village head, Old Master Wang, favored the rich and oppressed the weak, forcing many into debt. Qingyun, though hardworking and intelligent, was too naïve in her past life. She trusted the wrong people—Liu Meifeng, a childhood friend who later betrayed her, and Zhang Tianyu, a man who claimed to love her but only sought to use her. At seventeen, tragedy struck. A false accusation of theft led to the downfall of her family. Her father was beaten to death, her mother succumbed to illness, and her brothers were sold as laborers. Qingyun herself was forced into a loveless marriage with a cruel merchant, suffering years of abuse. One fateful night, she escaped and stumbled to the riverbank where she once found a beautiful pearl bracelet in her childhood. The bracelet was rumored to be cursed, but Qingyun had always admired its beauty. As she clutched it tightly, tears streaming down her face, her enemies found her. “Li Qingyun, you should have died long ago,” sneered Liu Meifeng before pushing a dagger into her chest. As the blood dripped onto the bracelet, a warm light enveloped her. In her last moments, she wished for another chance—to change her fate, to protect her family, and to exact revenge on those who destroyed her. When she opened her eyes again, she was twelve years old, lying in her small wooden bed, the scent of her mother’s cooking filling the air. She had been reborn. Now, she had a second chance.
