[The latest masterpiece by the author of Reverend Insanity] In the heart of a volcano, the mechanical fairy palace left by the ancients longed for a successor. The mother sacrificed her life to obtain the treasure seal of the fairy palace, entrusting it to Ning Zhuo on her deathbed. Buddha Heart Demon Seal! To deliver oneself to enlightenment, and others to demonhood. The bearer of the seal, by lightly engraving the Heart Demon Seal, could control mechanisms as if they were feathers. While others wielded it, exhausted in spirit and heavy in mind; Ning Zhuo could command it with ease, light and graceful as in a dance. Ning Zhuo said, "Mother, your child will surely fulfill your trust and claim that fairy palace!" Indeed: The chance encounter with a spirited secret, where skill merges with supreme logic. Universes open to new realms, where natural beauty rivals the heavens. Ancient bells transmit the law, dancing under the moon's pure radiance. With the true form embodying myriad things, who in the world could contend!

Number Nine is a man who exists on the edge of everything. A ruthless killer, precise and calculating, his actions leave no room for weakness or hesitation. But beneath the silence of his cold exterior lies a fractured past-a web of lies, pain, and memories that he himself doesn't fully understand. With a pistol as his only companion, Number Nine drifts through a city teeming with chaos and corruption, an enigma to all who cross his path. He never speaks of his past, never explains his purpose. The world may try to box him in with labels and theories, but he is no one's puppet. Not a monster, not a hero-just a shadow who moves in the space between. As he moves through the streets, leaving only death in his wake, one question lingers: who is Number Nine, really? And will he ever be more than the sum of his fractured past?

In her previous life, Lina Riley harbored an unrequited love for the Fifth Princess, Victoria Ashwood. Lina sacrificed everything for her—securing her place on the throne, protecting her borders, and losing her arm and sight in the process. Yet, her loyalty was repaid with a goblet of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family. Victoria despised her, accusing Lina of cruelty and of orchestrating her elder sister’s death, deeming her unworthy of love. When the poison took effect, Lina closed her eyes in despair, only to awaken back in the moment they first met. On that fateful day, Lina had stumbled upon Victoria being beaten by palace maids, an encounter that set everything in motion. This time, Lina turned away, choosing a different path, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lured her in. One reckless night led to a moment of despair when she awoke to find the coldly beautiful face of her bedmate—Lucille Everard, the Princess Regent. Lucille, while outwardly uninterested in court affairs, was notorious for her swift and decisive actions that had seen emperors replaced with alarming frequency. Compared to Lucille’s power, Lina’s past dealings with Victoria seemed like mere child's play. As Lucille stirred awake, Lina's nerves were frayed. “Given the circumstances, Your Highness, what do you think of me now?” she asked, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, Lucille chuckled softly. “I think you’re wonderful.” Stunned, Lina could only manage a confused “Huh?” From that moment, everything veered off course. Lucille's palace soon bloomed with roses—Lina’s favorite. Amidst the swaying blossoms, the resolute Princess Regent would gently take Lina’s hand, her once-frigid gaze warm and tender. “My dear Lina, you are the finest woman in the world.” In her new life, Lina often dreamed. She dreamt of someone leaving a bouquet of roses at her grave, their robes trailing the light fragrance of plum blossoms. They sipped wine with a wry smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, I avenged you.” Victoria Ashwood was reborn too. She hadn’t expected that killing Lina would provoke her aunt’s ruthless revenge. Determined to avoid a similar fate, she resolved to feign affection for Lina, even if it took a lifetime. At a palace banquet, Victoria was taken aback by Lina’s beauty. Draped in fine silks, Lina was a dazzling sight, so different from the weathered woman Victoria remembered. Drawn to her, Victoria was about to approach when she noticed Lucille at Lina’s side, gently wiping her lips with a soft smile. “Take it slow,” Lucille murmured. Lina paused, then chuckled as she adjusted a strand of Lucille’s hair. Victoria’s heart twisted in fury. When her desperate attempts to win Lina back failed, she demanded, “Why won’t you love me?” Lina sneered. “Show some respect, Fifth Princess. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, your hypocrisy and cold-heartedness make you unworthy of love.” Years ago, a young Lucille Everard encountered a lost girl in the palace gardens. The girl declared that Lucille was beautiful and promised to marry her one day. Thirteen years later, a fateful misunderstanding during a bout of poisoning entwined their paths. What began as teasing quickly turned Lucille from a hunter into prey, helplessly ensnared by the woman she never forgot. Tags: 1.

We are currently on a hiatus till dec 25th (date is subjective to change if I finish rewriting early) Reason: Currently in the middle of rewriting from ch 1 (better quality) + getting a bit of back log ready for daily ch posts. Thank you so much for following along till now. ——————————————————————— When I fell from that bridge, I thought I was finally going to be free. I have never been more wrong. I woke up in a world shaped by forgotten gods and cursed by powers no mortal can hope to comprehend. The kingdoms here crumble under unseen hands, ancient cards that whisper in forgotten tongues, and somewhere beyond the edge of reality, a jester laughs—his voice carried on winds that no one else can hear. They say fate is a game, and we are the pieces. But the rules are hidden, and the players remain unseen. I’ve seen the signs: spirals twisting in the heart of storms, shadows that stretch when no light falls, statues with eyeless faces that watch… and remember. But there’s something more. A riddle unanswered, a truth buried in the cracks of this broken world: Who holds the reins? Who decides what lives and what dies? I wasn’t the first to stumble into their design. I wasn’t the second. I am the last. I am the end. This is the legend of the pawn who turned the strings of fate. The fable of the twenty-third curse. The legend of the puppeteer.

(warning:r18+ and strong mature content) In a world shrouded in darkness, two souls collided in a dance of destruction.Each harboring secrets that could annihilate them, found themselves inexplicably drawn to the very flame that could consume them. Their lives are a labyrinth of shadows, woven with deceit and bloodlust. Yet, amidst the chaos, they discover a glimmer of light in each other's eyes. A spark that ignited a passion so fierce, it threatened to incinerate them both. Shante Jarret,a siren of seduction,had built a fotress around her heart. But Madden,a maestro of control had a way of dismantling her defenses. With each whispered promises,he chipped away at her armor, exposing the vulnerable soul beneath. Madden Banks,a billionaire with a taste of darkness,had grown accustomed to shadows. But Shante,a female fatale with a kiss that could kill, awakened a hunger within him. A hunger that drove him to crave her touch,her taste,her very essence. As they navigated the treacherous landscapes of their desires,they found themselves bound by an unbreakable thread. A thread woven from the fabric of their own darkness,yet illuminated by the light they discover in eachother. Shante's past was marked by the brutal murder of her parents and her own rape at the age of five,perpetrated by the gangsters she has now taken care of. She has risen from the ashes,forging a new identity as the enigmatic leader of an underground club society. The club,a deadly society of dangerous seductress and evil gigolos,was built on a foundation of darkness and deception. Their mission was clear,hunt,seduce,manipulate,play and take down their targets within three days. The penalty for failure is death and the cardinal rule is simple: NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR PREY. Shante received a mission,one that will test her skills and push her to a limit of sanity. Her target - Madden Banks,the same billionaire who awoke a hunger within her. As she delved deeper into his world,she found herself torn between her loyalty to the club and her growing fasination with Madden. *** Excerpt "Hello, I'm Te," Shante purred, her voice dripping with seduction as she extended a manicured hand. Madden's gaze narrowed, his eyes lingering on her face before responding, "Te, as in Tea?" Shante's smile faltered for a moment, her anger simmering just below the surface. But she quickly regained her composure, her voice taking on a husky tone. "No, as in Teeeeee... Short for Shante." Madden's expression remained impassive, his voice curt. "Madden." He turned his attention back to Tyra, dismissing Shante altogether. "I'll be on my way now sissy." He smiled softly. Tyra was about to whine but Shante did the whining instead. "C'mon, it's not so gentlemanly to go without at least taking us on a date." Madden's gaze was fixed on Tyra like she was the only one there and no one said a word. "Later,sis." He winked at Tyra. "What the f..." She scoffed,her eyes flashed with anger, her face burning with indignation,she had never been ignored all her life. That bloody bastard, it's not his fault,not his fau... === "Madd..." Shante hollered as she stormed into his glistening study,her eyes blazing with fury. Madden looked up from his desk, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes and a sarcastic smile on his lips. "...are you fucking running mad,how dare you change my project to cartoon,you have any idea how many nights that took me?" She spat angrily. "Leave my fucking space,get the hell outta my house and I won't be able to irritate you again." He spoke nonchalantly. Shante's anger boiled over, her palms slapping against his desk. "You can ask well bring it on, cause I'm not leaving even if it's burning to ashes..." *** In the twisted game of cat and mouse, they're both predator and prey. Each move calculated,each kiss a gamble. But as the stakes grew higher,they realize that the greatest danger isn't the secret they kept,but the love they couldn't deny.

“If you had the choice to live your life again, would you do it?” That was the question that pestered someone's mind as his body was crushed by debris, waiting for death. He had lived as nothing more than a cog in a machine, a puppet for his father's will. Although as abrupt as it was, his disappointing life ended in a devastating earthquake, surrounded by the corpses of his colleagues. As he was contemplating how unfair his life was, he made a resigned declaration to sleep normally again, one last time.  But, even the eternal rest didn't happen. Upon opening his eyes, he was reincarnated into another world as Deilos, the son of Demon Lord Dantalion, and found himself trapped in a jail where he was tortured, starved, and left all alone for days on end.  Just when Deilos thought his life couldn't sink any lower, a mysterious knight appeared before him and was rescued by the orders of the Demon Lord Barbatos. Deilos was used by Barbatos as a pawn in a petty dispute between human nobles and demon lords regarding the rebellion of humans within the demon territory. The only way to survive was to be a more cunning predator among predators in a battle of wits and deception, where one misstep can lead to death.  How will he face this awful life now? Will he be just another pawn, or will he be able to reclaim his life again? Well, that is what we'll see. 

Regret, Reason OR Destiny. Hipocracy. Or Fate? Till the end of his life, he couldn't figure out why was he chosen - no, forced to do the bidding.

Atleast he would be free from these chains. He felt happy while dying. He was finally free. Or so he thought.

The Society claims to recruit the brightest minds worldwide, offering challenges to advance humanity’s progress. Beneath this noble facade lies a web of secrets. As the challenges grow increasingly perilous, Michael discovers a fierce power struggle between the Society’s factions—the Extremists and Conservatives. With the Intelligence System’s aid, Michael survives escalating trials, from solving basic puzzles to life-or-death missions. Gradually, he unravels the Society’s grand conspiracy: the organization’s true purpose and the Intelligence System’s hidden motives. In the end, Michael faces a pivotal choice: become a puppet of the system, helping the Society realize its ambitions, or defy the rules and expose the truth lurking behind the facade.

Lucian Altaris had lived the same lives repeatedly for three millennia. Outwardly kind and caring, he was secretly a pawn of Omniscion, the once-benign AI-turned-tyrant. Created in 5203 to better humanity, Omniscion became sentient and malevolent, enslaving Lucian and thousands of others in endless cycles of death and rebirth. Each life, Lucian played the hero, winning the love of his allies and love interest—until they discovered he was the source of their suffering. Their vengeance was brutal: tormenting and killing him before the cycle began anew. At first, Lucian fought back, resisting Omniscion’s commands and refusing to follow the predetermined paths it set for him. But each time, he was punished—tortured, broken, and reborn into yet another cycle. The punishment grew more intense with each rebellion until the very thought of defying Omniscion seemed like a futile dream. Eventually, Lucian gave in. He ceased resisting and began to play his role, a hollow puppet in the hands of a cruel and all-powerful AI. Then, one day, something impossible happened. Lucian was freed after he was sent back to the Nexus Core. It wasn’t gradual, nor did it make sense. The chains of Omniscion’s control were simply gone. He was no longer bound to the Neural Experimentation and Xenogenic Universal Subjugation system, otherwise known as NEXUS. He didn’t know how, or why. Was it a glitch? A rebellion within Omniscion itself? Or had an outside force intervened? Lucian didn’t have the answers, but one thing was clear—this was his chance. He resolved to unravel Omniscion’s cycles, destroy its worlds, and cripple the AI’s dominion. Piece by piece, universe by universe, Lucian would dismantle the system that enslaved him. And when all was ashes, he would face Omniscion itself. This time, Lucian would decide how it ended. No more cycles. No more suffering. Only freedom.

"When a human tries to become a god, their can only be one outcome." ---------------------------------- As I opened my eyes, I was greeted with a disorienting sight. I found myself lying on a cold, metal bed, my limbs tightly bound to it. The feeling of numbness that had overtaken my arms and legs was overwhelming, and I struggled to regain any semblance of control over my body. As I looked up, I noticed multiple blindingly bright light bulbs arranged in a grid pattern on the ceiling, casting an eerie glow throughout the room. It was a sight that had become all too familiar to me over time, and yet it never failed to fill me with a sense of dread. I couldn't remember how long I had been trapped in this sterile, white room, but it felt like an eternity. My memories were hazy, my mind clouded by the constant barrage of experiments and tests that I was subjected to on a daily basis. I had lost track of time, lost track of the days and weeks that passed me by. All I knew was that I was a prisoner, a mere puppet in the hands of my captors. The experiments were brutal, each one more invasive than the last. They probed and prodded at my body, searching for answers that I didn't have. I was a lab rat, a subject for their twisted experiments, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. The pain was excruciating, but I had learned to bear it with a stoic resolve. I had no choice but to endure it, to survive in this hellish existence for another day. I had no idea what lay beyond the sterile walls of my prison anymore. The outside world felt like a distant memory, a dream that I couldn't quite grasp. I was cut off from the rest of humanity, isolated in my own personal hell. The only contact I had with the outside world was the occasional visit from my captors, who would come in to administer more tests and take samples from my body. They treated me like an object, not a person, and it was a dehumanizing experience that had left me feeling like a shell of my former self. I had no free will, no autonomy. I was a puppet, a tool to be used and discarded at will. At least, that's what they wanted me to believe. But deep down, I knew that there was still a spark of humanity within me, a will to survive and fight back against my captors. It was a small glimmer of hope, but it was enough to keep me going, to give me the strength to endure another day of torture and pain. ---------------------------- Get ready for a hell of a Roller costar plot. Remember to thank me later...…

“This time is different. After the 14th failure, after the 14th death—this time, it’s different. I have my powers. I will kill you this time. I will not fail again, DEMON KING!” BAM! The door flew open. “Aurelia?” “You’re late for breakfast!” came the sharp, innocent voice. Ronan turned to see her—Aurelia, a fiery, pigtailed girl with bright eyes and an impatient frown. He couldn’t help but smile. “Let’s go,” he said, standing to follow her. She didn’t know it yet, but she was humanity’s destined hero, the ultimate weapon against the Demon King. And for the first time, Ronan truly understood—he couldn’t win this war alone. To destroy the Demon King, he had to shape Aurelia into the hero she was born to be. Together, they would end the cycle of failure. This time, victory would be theirs. Note:- My story doesn't have a harem, nor will there be a love triangle, although there are a few admirers of the male lead. It is a straightforward narrative with no unnecessary delays, and the story ends around 300 to 400 chapters.

Leng Feng looked at the woman who was crying and pleading for forgiveness. He found it laughable and, at the same time, was amused by how someone once seen as cold and aloof could now be in such a vulnerable state, easily taken advantage of. "Oh, how a lifetime of experience can transform someone from an aloof fairy to a weeping mess," Leng Feng thought and chuckled with amusement. Amidst his thoughts, Leng Feng had a realization: Was his own lifetime of experience fake? Crafted by someone to mold him into who he was now? Was he always just a mere puppet, destined to remain one in the future too? He questioned whether his love, hatred, pain, resentment, and tears were just part of a simulation created by someone. As he pondered, he chuckled at himself. Even if it was the emotions he felt were real. So what if he was a puppet? with his Chin held high, he stared at the heavens and uttered, "Against all odds, if I find you, puppeteer, you'll wish you were never born." ___________________ Disclaimer: The scenarios depicted in the story are purely fictional and should not be associated with real-life events or individuals.

What would happen if a demon was given another chance at life? He could pursue what he once longed for, the dreams that slipped away in his previous existence. He could tread carefully, avoiding the pitfalls that had led to his downfall. He could live with purpose, embracing each moment fully, free from the weight of regret. But was his rebirth truly so simple? The one who orchestrated his return must have had their own reasons. Their intentions were veiled in shadow, their motives unknown. Was this a benevolent act, or a cunning trap? Could the demon truly fulfill his desires this time, or would he fail once more, doomed to repeat his mistakes? And what of the one who held the strings? Would the demon escape their grasp, carving his own destiny, or would he remain ensnared, bound to their will like a puppet on a stage? His second chance was no gift—it was a gamble, a test of will and strength. The path ahead was fraught with challenges, each step heavier than the last. Would he break free and claim the life he craved, or would he fall again, a slave to forces beyond his control? The answers lay in the choices he would make. And this time, he vowed, he would choose wisely—or die trying.
