Dread Jewelry

Why were we not born equal? If god had the power to end suffering… Why do we still live like this? Why can’t I be happy? So let me take your place. But before one fixates on a goal… We must return to why they had it in the first place. This is the story of an ordinary soul, reborn into an extraordinary fate— A path unwalked. A destiny unwritten. With a mysterious system and a power bestowed by a mysterious individual with unknow intentions, Vergil will rise. To challenge the heavens. To rewrite the rules. To mock the one above as the Clown that entertains god. But as he ascends… He will come to know joy, rage, love sorrow anger — And the dread that comes with feeling them all. Will he carve his own destiny— Or be consumed by what lies beyond it? — Inspired by “Magic Emperor” and “Returned 10,000 Years.” All credit to their creators. This is an original, fan-inspired work.

When dreams become reality. When sleeping became a dreadful thing to do... When does life become so tiring to live? When do you become a murderer when you're sleeping? When do you hate yourself more than anyone else?

He was supposed to live a quiet life. Elias Clarke is a recessive omega… technically. His heats are rare, his hormones are mild, and his genetic profile is so muted that he could pass for beta. That’s fine with him. At 27, he is halfway through his PhD, teaches engineering part-time, and enjoys the kind of anonymity that keeps him away from the political games of those born with true divine potential. But when his best friend and roommate, Ruoxi Numen, disappears without a trace, Elias becomes the only one asking questions no one wants to answer. Her family, descended from the last god born three hundred years ago, calls it a “private matter.” Her apartment remains untouched, with her jewelry, tablet, and expensive shoes near the door. Then Victor Numen, her older brother who was crippled in a divine accident, reappears in public. Smiling. Watching Elias too closely. Something happened to Ruoxi. And Elias might be the only person who can figure out what.

Three days. That’s how close I was to marrying Alistair, the man I’d loved for six years, the man whose life I’d literally saved with my own rare blood. I was just admiring the final pearl on my wedding dress, a gown I’d poured my soul into, when he called. The wedding? Off. He was marrying my stepsister, Ivy. Her dying wish, he said. Six months to live, maybe less. The kicker? He’d already taken my wedding dress from my studio for her. Just like that, six years, countless transfusions, our shared dreams – all tossed aside for the girl who’d made my life a living hell since childhood. He even offered me “compensation,” as if my future had a price tag. But if Alistair and Ivy thought I’d just crumble, they seriously underestimated me. They wanted my fiancé? Fine. But it would cost them. First, our multi-million-dollar fashion company, Evening Gala – built on my designs, my vision. He signed it over. Then, a cool million for the stolen dress. He paid. Another million for the wedding jewelry they dared to ask me to hand over for Ivy. Cha-ching. You’d think they’d learn. But no. Their next proposal was the most insulting yet: Alistair actually suggested that I should just wait. That after Ivy’s ‘inevitable’ passing in a few months, he and I could just pick up where we left off, have an even better wedding. Seriously? Enough was enough. If Ivy wanted to play bride with my life, she was going to get a taste of what happens when you push someone too far. Let's just say her hospital room celebration involved a lot more smoke, water, and screaming than she bargained for, all thanks to a little wedding gift from yours truly. Now they know I’m not the same Hazel they could walk all over. I’ve got my company, a pile of their cash, and a whole lot of scores to settle. They think this is over? This game of revenge is just getting started. And believe me, I play to win.

Li Yun was once Lin Chen, a modern martial arts enthusiast who dies suddenly and finds himself reborn as a frail twelve-year-old outer sect disciple in the Ironheart Sect, a minor faction within the vast cultivation realm of Qiandao. His new body is cursed with shattered spiritual roots and chronic illness. Everyone expects him to die before adulthood. But he refuses to surrender to fate. Armed with knowledge of human physiology, scientific methods, and modern martial arts, he devises ways to refine his fragile body: enhancing blood circulation, training muscle and breath, and slowly forcing open the gates of cultivation that should have been forever closed to him. In a world where strength dictates life and death, Li Yun becomes obsessed with a single goal: to survive long enough to step beyond mortality. He remains low-key, disguising his progress as he delves into countless disciplines—blacksmithing, alchemy, formations, beast taming—quietly laying foundations for a future no one suspects. Across centuries, he transforms from a dying boy into a hidden master whose name, whispered only in rumors, evokes both awe and dread.

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning. With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

Daniel was just a normal guy—until he woke up inside a horror game no living human would ever dare to enter. To escape and return to his family, he must survive twisted trials and answer a single, deceptively simple question from the game’s creator: “Who am I?” But the deeper he goes, the more the question warps. The rules are surreal, the horrors psychological, and the cost of failure isn’t just death—it’s losing himself piece by piece. What to Expect: Psychological Horror – Subtle dread escalating to brutal mind games. Surreal Rules – A nightmare that bends logic but never breaks its own. Zero Power Fantasy – No stats, no systems—just fear and fading sanity. Finite, Tight Story – No filler; every chapter burns toward the end. No Comfort – This isn’t a story about healing. It’s about survival. What Not to Expect: OP MCs or cheats Progress bars Redemption arcs Safe spaces Note: This isn’t a quick-hit addiction. The early chapters are your calm before the storm—Chapter 15 is where hell opens its jaws. Stick around if you dare. (Cover is a placeholder until I commission art. Updates weekly—no vanishing acts.)

Her freedom– "I'm not sure escaping is a good idea." A voice, cold enough to freeze her entire being, cuts in behind her. She stiffens. She doesn't dare to turn around.

He does what he wants… and he’s got the hands to back it up.” Dark-skinned, handsome and grinning with two shining gold fangs, Shiro walks like a king without a crown. His long white dreads swing like a wild mane behind him. His custom wolf-hide gauntlets click softly as he stretches his fingers, ready to crack skulls—or gently grab the thick waist of the next dangerous beauty who tries him.

In the year 2091, Earth ran on smart cities, drone deliveries, endless exams, and mild existential dread. Everything was boringly stable—until one Tuesday evening, the sky glitched. > “Ding! Population: 10 Billion. Phase 2 Initiated. Begin Cosmic Protocol.” And reality broke. Portals opened. The laws of physics updated. Every human—student, soldier, or sandwich vendor—was forcibly enrolled into a universe-sized game of classes, quests, and utterly unfair cosmic mechanics. This is the story of Everett Miracle, an 18-year-old who just wanted to pass his college entrance exams… but instead pulled the legendary (and possibly bugged) class: > Cube of Becoming. (Yes.

The fate of the multiverse may or may not depend on him. He would really prefer it didn’t. --- Patreon: [miracle_cube123] Updates: Weekly/Chaotic/Powered by Snacks
