There is a guaranteed Adult Chapter one out of every five. NOT FOR CHILDREN! NOT FOR SOFT HEARTS!] • FULL BLURB Israfel BlüdThïrste was born in Hel. He has lived in it all eighteen years of his life. As seventh in the bloodline of the Morningstar himself, Rafel has had a pretty fucking great life. There's spilled blood in excess. Violence to choke the gray skies. Abundant sex—depraved and hardcore. And more blood. Everything a Prince of the Abyss could desire. But Rafel has heard stories, of the world above. The world of the weak mortals whose damned souls fall endlessly through the red skies of his, to meet with perpetual torture. Stories of their fine carriages and legendary kings. Their golden sun and green earth. But mostly, their virgin women. He wishes to see it for himself. And so, when a lucky gambit with his dear Aunt, Lilith, opens up a way for him to explore the surface, Rafel hops to it. The deal is a hundred years before he has to return to his duties as Hell's Apollyon. Accompanied by his new slave, a voluptuous horned Succubus, Rafel journeys to the mortal realm, entering into the mythical lands of Eldoria as the enigmatic Earl of Emberfall, a haunted estate. But Rafel intends to rise, into the very courts of the Eldorian Queen. At least before his time runs out. And if corrupting, blackmailing, fucking, and murdering a few mortals gets in his way, so be it. This is until the haloed mess of Ravenna de Vries ends up on the grand steps of his Manor, soaking wet with a blood debt hanging over her head. Israfel had seen many beautiful women in his time, but somehow the little mortal girl is sufficient to make him rethink his gambit. Ravenna is owed to a powerful Hell Principality. And though Rafel convinces himself that building up his power ranking is solely selfish, it also has to do with going up against an ancient adversary from his home who is certain to appear just about anytime to collect what he is owed—Ravenna. She is not his responsibility, but why does Rafel feel exactly that whenever he looks at her? And suddenly for this Immortal, a hundred years is not enough to fall in love.

The legendary tale of the Xyrin Empire is not about its struggles... or the tempest of another world or some cultivation myth. This is a super-serious, super-hard sci-fi novel about saving the world. Take what I’m saying seriously... Not. Okay, this is just a funny story about a deceptive human emperor, bringing his bunch of slippery alien leaders to have fun saving the world every day. Chen Jun is an unmotivated otaku who turns into the Emperor of an ancient intergalactic magic sci-fi empire. With the aura of a stay-at-home dad, he is nothing but a middle-aged man who adopts a group of lolis... and an army of freeloading aliens that came out of nowhere. Er, what? Ahem. Really though, this is a super-serious story... a super-mega-ultra-serious sci-fi story. For the Empire!

In a world where magic and divine power collide, the youngest son of Lucifer, a demon boy born with unimaginable strength, was chained and sealed away by his father to prevent him from destroying Hell itself. At the age of eight, his power became so uncontrollable that even the King of Hell feared his existence. Desperate to keep the demon's destructive potential contained, Lucifer made a pact with the great Merlin, who trapped the boy in the human realm, binding his powers with enchanted chains. Years later, with Merlin dead and a kingdom still fearful of the demon’s release, an elite group of knights, blessed by the gods, take it upon themselves to guard his prison. However, when a war between the mages and knights erupts, chaos provides the perfect opportunity for the young demon to break free. Hidden among the knights, disguised within their ranks, the demon plots his next move. But his escape is just the beginning. Hunted by both the mages and the knights, he must navigate a world where ancient gods, wizards, and warriors clash. As he travels deep into enemy territory, sneaking into the heart of the kingdom, he is driven by one purpose: freedom. Now, with his powers still sealed but his physical strength unmatched, the young demon embarks on a journey that will shake the foundation of both realms. Can the knights stop him before he regains his full strength, or will the demon's wrath bring both Heaven and Hell to their knees? As the demon hides in the shadows of the human world, a new chapter in the war between gods, magic, and demonic power begins.

A world plunged into chaos. The sun never shines with full brightness, and shadows lurk. Crows and vultures feast on the corpses as the few survivors fight for their lives. The kingdoms of humans, elves, and dwarves, allied for decades, are forced to coexist with monstrous magical beasts… and the most terrifying of all: the nightmares, commonly known as demons. For over thirty years of endless war, ten emperors managed to unite the races to face the demonic threat and the dragons, creatures of incalculable power. But the peace that followed was fleeting. The ten empires flourished, but the emperors' thirst for power became unbearable. The Sun Emperor, the most powerful of them all, ruled with wisdom, but his growing power awakened the envy of the others. The remaining nine, seeking their own supremacy, made a pact with the demons and unleashed a new war. In their desperation for more power, they sought to seal themselves, trusting that the chaos they would unleash in the future could be even more devastating. Only the Sun Emperor could stop them, but his decision was a difficult one: let the demon army ravage the continent or seal the nine, facing the eternal dilemma of whether to trust the future or not. In the end, he chose to seal them, hoping that future generations would have the strength to confront the demons' awakening… but nightmares always find a way to escape.

In the realms above, supernatural beings of unfathomable magnificence exist, far beyond mortal comprehension. These divinities wield unimaginable power, capable of obliterating worlds with a mere breath. However, what unfolds when these gods meet their demise? Set in a remote corner of the vast universe, long after the apocalyptic Thousand Millennium War of the Heavenly Beasts and Deities, this tale delves into a forgotten world. Here, the ashes of fallen gods descend upon an insignificant pebble, adrift amidst the cosmic tapestry of space and time. Their impact alters the life of a proud young man, who embraces the abrupt changes thrust upon his world. Refusing to yield to the clutches of fate and karma, he dares to defy the heavens themselves. Will he triumph over an insurmountable destiny, or succumb to fate like gods of unimaginable might did before him? The dreams of a deceased deity and the fate of a dying world hang precariously, hinged upon the future of this young man. He treads upon an endless bridge, forged from the corpses of the fallen. Unlock this epic saga of death, sorrow, war, blood, love, vengeance, and triumph with your own eyes. *** You can also reach out to: Discord:https://discord.com/invite/QQ3vybav Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invites/contact/?i=9xjl0tq1cs3e&utm_content=qx5nrdu

Long ago, the gods created a world full of beauty & resources; ready to embrace all life that would come to inhabit it, the world started to become populated with animals, plants, and sentient beings like elves, beastmen, demons, humans, and more. At first, the races lived in harmony, and the gods granted blessings to help them grow, build, and hunt. It was wondrous, but then, conflict started to rise between the races; as time passed, darkness began to fester in their hearts: they grew envious of the others strengths, anxious & fearful at what they could do, disgusted at their appearances. Pressure continued to rise until it couldn’t any longer, and the Grand War descended upon those prepared and unprepared… The gods knew the sentient races couldn’t exist without conflict, as they themselves couldn’t, but to see how fast they have fallen into madness… Destruction erupted and came to every corner of the world, nothing was untouched by the war, millions of lives were gone in the blink of an eye for the gods, and there was no end in sight. The world that they all created together was being destroyed bit by bit by the war, but only when the races started committing unspeakable acts to each other and their own, even to the very world to gain unnatural power did they intervene. They all unified and came to an agreement. They descended to their now ruined world and forced the fighting to a close with their power and might. Once that was done, they enforced an enactment across the world; a price for all the terrible happenings during the Grand War. For all things, no matter how far away they were, they heard these words: "You had peace, you had hope, you all had a beautiful world, but now, you have BURNT it to the ground, you all have done sick, twisted deeds to gain the slightest edge in battle… We gave blessings, with the goal to help and spread growth, but you have absconded from our wishes and only used them for self-interest and murder… There was no need for such a large and bloody war to happen, yet this is what it came down to, the war wasn’t going to end before taking the entire world down with it. And so, we had no other choice but to get involved. We gods have decided upon a fitting punishment for ALL to live under… The world shall be refitted anew with resources to make up for what has been destroyed, burned, and the horrid damage to the planet will be reversed, however, since all of you created conflict with each other in a peaceful world, we thought you all would make peace with one another in a violent one. In 10 years time, monsters shall start roaming the world, spreading forth the destruction you all once wrought… Apart, you have no chance to survive the tide of change, but together, you will survive. That is all…prepare with these 10 years, and we wish you all the best of luck." The entire speech was done by the leader of the gods, the Goddess of Creation. And with a bright flash of light, they couldn't see anything, but once their vision returned, they were surprised. The gods were gone, and the world was no longer broken, scarred... but it wasn’t as beautiful as before the Grand War, this was an unspoken punishment from the gods: the world would NOT return to how it was, no matter how much they pleaded for its beauty to return. There was another untold punishment that everyone noticed imminently on reawakening, that their previous powers were now gone! All forms of power were reset to zero, and they would have to start from scratch! Without them being able to curse out the goddess for this indignation in fear of the incoming catastrophe, the races began to rebuild and train to recoup their strength. While they had made peace and worked mutually, there was always an underlying conflict, intolerance, lingering from the Grand War. As their time came to a close, things came to fruition just as the goddess said, monsters now roamed the world, spreading the havoc once sown by their own hands.

(SPINOFF/SEQUEL TO Fairy and Fairy Hunter) P.S if you haven’t read Fairy and Fairy Hunter this might not make sense, so I recommend reading that first. (A lot of chapters of the Fairy and Fairy hunter are kinda badly written chapters, but I was in my flop-no-good-novel-writing era. But please read that first and try to make sense of it.

EARTH The Earth was viewed and considered as a useless planet, and was discarded alongside with its inhabitants due to its lack of Mana. It was inhabited by the "Humans". The humans were known to be the weakest race yet they were also regarded as the most intelligent of all races. Humans were normal beings who were only focused on creating and evolving by using their intelligence. In addition, they also used martial arts as a power tool to become stronger. They were completely surprised when they learnt of other races existence such as the Elves, Dwarves, Fees, Demons and many other beings whose strengths and powers were beyond their imagination. But what surprised them the most was to find out that there were humans like them who possessed great powers like the other races. These humans resided in two different places, the first one is the "Azua Empire" and the second one is "Juptier Planet" they self-proclaimed themselves as the descendants of the gods, since they possessed divine powers and mighty abilities. The normal humans couldn't yet fully accept the fact that there actually existed mighty beings, until Aella, a stunningly beautiful girl, came to the city of Sion. After being born, Aella May Scarlet, the legitimate daughter of the Pearls family, a family who are known as the most influential, powerful and wealthy family in Sion city, was swapped with the Zeiner family's daughter and was abandoned by them in the most dangerous forests known as the "Eclipse Kingdom", which was filled with mystical and monstrous creatures. Aella was found and raised by her master/father Otiz Scarlet, a man who is regarded to be the strongest man on earth. When Aella turned ten years old, Otiz began to train her as he realised that Aella possessed mighty powers and skills. ---------- In a deserted land stood two men, an elderly woman and a little girl. Suddenly, the taller man, Otiz, let out a long sigh and said, "....Aella". "Mm" answered the little girl Otiz raised his eyes and looked at the mess created by Aella and spoke again. "I can't believe you actually destroyed an entire kingdom." The little girl scanned with cold eyes the place that looked like a desert, she then looked at her master and flatly said. "You told me to do it." ".....! What?" "I did!?." *** AUTHOR'S NOTE Hello everyone, this is Nedjyna the author of this novel. This is my own original novel, and it is copyrighted.
