Lantern Rite

In this world, people who reach the age of 12 will undergo the ceremony called Rite of Ascension, where they'll be blessed by any of the 12 gods. Their blessings determine the future of them. Alane Fitzgerald was the first heir of the Fitzgerald dukedom. Everyone believed that he would be the next chosen champion of the Sun God. Everyone believed that; even Alane believed that. Everyone loved him and cherished him. Until. On his 12th birthday, he undergoes the Rite of Ascension. Something went wrong, clearly wrong. None of the 12 gods didn't choose him; they didn't give him champion blessings, not even common or uncommon blessings. Worse than that, he was marked as a cursed devil. He was thrown into prison by his own parents, mocked by his own younger brother, and finally he was sold as a slave. He wants revenge; he wants to kill everyone who broke him and wants to make them suffer, even the gods who mocked him, but he is powerless. Then he met something dark, which offered him revenge. Gave its own blessings to him. Rather than blessings, it's a curse, yet it'll give him a chance to kill everyone.

At five years old, the child from the metaphysical family is about to leave the mountain, and the bigwigs of the capital city have come out to see him off. What's so great about a little dumpling? Yun Xiaoqi innocently spreads his hands, claiming he never intended to show off his powers; his simple wish is to be a good child while subtly dominating all sorts of spirits. Many oppose him during this time, and the "Little Celestial Maiden" Yun Ying teams up with various metaphysical leaders to continuously challenge him, only to be soundly beaten, losing face. Finally, the bigwigs bow down in reverence: it’s we mortals who were blind and offended the little ancestor! *** The news of the little dumpling ruling over the metaphysical world reaches the Nether Realm. The Lord of the Nether Realm frowns: this milky little master must be the youngest and most temperamental special envoy from the Nether Realm. The little dumpling, carrying a lantern, walks among the mountains and rivers of the earth, guiding the souls with a proud stomp, declaring: Lord of the Netherworld is not much older than me, who are you calling childish! The noble and refined Lord of the Nether Realm lands and transforms into a twelve-year-old boy, gentle as jade: whatever the little envoy says is right. Yun Xiaoqi keeps waving his hands: nope, I'm just working here.

After arriving in Japan, I became a high school student named Kamiyagawa. Looking around— Hanako crouched in the bathroom, waiting for someone to knock on the door; the Split-Mouth Woman wandered the streets with scissors in hand; Miss Mary's deathly calls echoed incessantly; the wails and barks in Inunaki Village never ceased; the Ubume searched for her long-dead child; the Aoandon smiled, enticing passersby to play with the lanterns of a hundred demons… In a crumbling world rampant with sinister tales and malevolent spirits, Kamiyagawa set a small goal for himself: "Defeat all the demons and monsters, and become the supreme ruler of ghosts and deities."

"Spoiled. Useless. A Disgrace to Demons." That’s what they all said about Princess Xiao Rui—the only daughter of the mighty Demon King, infamous across the Nine Hells for her divine beauty, venomous sass, and zero cultivation talent. But when the Demon King vanishes without a trace, Rui is thrown into the Trial of the Infernal Heir—an ancient rite meant to choose the next ruler of the Underworld. Stripped of her luxuries and tossed into chaos, Rui must survive nine soul-shattering trials, each more hellish than the last. The catch? Everyone underestimated her, but no one can resist Rui's chaotic allure. Whether they start off trying to kill her, capture her, or lecture her, they all end up doing the same thing—falling head over heels for her. Expect: - Reverse harem chaos with dangerous, devoted love interests - Cultivation growth powered by emotional strength and chaos - A bratty demon princess discovering her true powers - Heart-pounding battles, forbidden kisses, and emotional mic drops - Plenty of comedy, ridiculous situations, and one hot mess of a heroine you’ll love to root for *There will be some (very spicy) smut, but I will put warnings in the chapter before. Completely optional

Born as the fourth prince of a decaying empire, Wu An was raised to be brilliant, polite—and irrelevant. Cast aside by his brothers and ignored by his warlord father, he wore his mask well: the quiet scholar, the forgotten son. But when a strange light drags him from his modern world into a twisted imperial court filled with ancient rites and fractured thrones, he awakens in a body shaped for power—and vengeance. To survive the throne room is to master the battlefield. To win the war is to become a monster. When war erupts in the north, Wu An unleashes a brutal campaign of subterfuge and slaughter. But beneath every victory lies something far more terrifying—visions of monks with bone-bead rosaries, scriptures written in blood, and gods that do not belong to this world. At the heart of the empire is a secret buried in ink and ash, and behind every smile in the capital, a knife waits.

Kivas Chariot is struck by the sun—an event that corrupts her soul beyond repair. In the blink of an eye, she's transported into the midst of a cosmic ritual, performed by three eldritch beings beyond comprehension. Overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of their presence, her fractured soul erupts in a desperate tantrum, shattering the terrifying rite. Yet beneath their monstrous forms, one of the entities reaches out to her gently—soul to soul—and asks a simple, warm, and comprehensible question. “What is it you truly desire?” Tears welling, Kivas whispers from the depths of her being. "I want to be loved!” The entity grants her wish. But not directly. Now, somehow awakened in a strange new world, Kivas discovers something bizarre—there are stats, HP, MP... even classes and skills. In a world where time matter less and power are more rampant, Kivas attempts to strive and live her brand new life.

Kalamari always dreamed of ruling—but fate had other plans. In a world divided by power and shaped by war, five ancient kingdoms look to one force above all: the Overlord—a being of infinite wisdom and unfathomable power. Every kingdom has its own ruler, but only an Overlord commands the reverence of all. To earn that title, one must not only possess power, but also fulfill the ethic circle—a spiritual rite that requires the soul to overcome, or destroy, two other Overlords before ascension. Kalamari, once an F-Rank child, lost everything in the devastating war between the noble Arcadians and the ruthless Kings. His mother was among the countless victims. The Arcadians fell… and the Kings rose in dominance. Now, the King’s ruler—Veth—a furious and power-hungry A-Rank Master, seeks to claim the title of Overlord. He is violent, impatient, and determined to force the prophecy into reality, no matter the cost. Yet, Veth is missing one truth: The soul of the Overlord does not yield to violence. It follows the path of destiny. And destiny has chosen Kalamari. From the ashes of a lost kingdom rises an unlikely heir—one forged in grief, trained in secret, and born with a power neither he nor the world fully understands. Will Veth seize the title through bloodshed and dominance? Or will Kalamari unlock the truth within himself and rise as the Overlord the world truly needs? ---

In the northern wilds, where spirits whisper through trees and beasts remember blood, a crippled youth dares to climb a mountain few return from. Eirik Greystrider was never meant to be chosen. Injured with a frost-crippled leg and no warrior's strength, he still dreams of carving his name into the ancient stone of Eldvorn — the rite that grants a blessing from the warrior spirits of old. But when he reaches the summit, bleeding and broken, what answers him is not a spirit of this age. He is marked by Ulthri the Wind-Walker, a forgotten guardian of the Wolf Path, lost since the time of the Spirit Wars. And with the spirit comes something else: a strange fire in his soul — and the power to summon warriors from beyond the veil of death, men and women who remember a world not his own. As beasts stir in the Greywood Vale and corrupted ones spread their shadow once more, Eirik must lead this strange new clan — drawn from memory and myth — against enemies who would see spiritkind bound or broken. But in a land where the strong bear the blessings of beasts and legends shape the fate of bloodlines, one truth remains: Only those who mark the stone may call themselves kin of the spirits. And Eirik has not just marked it... He woke it. *** Note: I will be uploading three times a week and if it goes well, will increase the upload of chapters.

Seraphine Elion was raised to follow duty; born to a bloodline of soldiers whose loyalty ran deeper than love. Callum Virell was groomed for power, heir to the wealthiest business empire in the country. Their fathers as sworn siblings, they promised each other's child in a marriage neither wanted. Six years ago, Sera broke the engagement to pursue love on her own terms. But fate has a cruel sense of irony—when Callum kneels to propose to another, it's Sera who stands before him instead. Bound by family expectations and unspoken histories, the two enter a marriage built on silence, bruised pride, and buried wounds. As Callum clings to memories of his first love, Dahlia, and loses himself in long nights of alcohol and smoke, Sera fights to hold the crumbling pieces together—not just for duty, but for something dangerously close to love. But Sera is not the same woman who once walked away. She’s stronger now. Fiercer. And she’s not here to beg for affection—she’s here to claim the man who was once promised to her. In a world where legacy trumps choice, and desire simmers beneath cold glances and quiet dinners, can two broken souls find something real in a marriage neither chose?

Suddenly pulled into a world filled with Specters, Fang Xiu woke up with a unique ability: Reset. Every time he died, time would rewind to the moment before he was killed. In this strange and dangerous world, Fang Xiu could have chosen to hide. Instead he announced to the world, “Yes, I’m a prophet. I can see the future!” As his predictions kept coming true, his title of the Prophet spread around the world. His words became the truth. They became the future. “I have seen the future,” he announced, attracting people from all around the world.

We need to be careful.” Fang Xiu pointed to the last row and commanded, “The one in white. Yes, you. Come out!” In an A-level Specter event, called [Lantern Heads] One teammate warned, “This area is crawling with thousands of Lantern Heads. If they shine their light on you, your head will fall off. The scariest part is the Lantern Heads float unpredictably. It’s impossible for anyone to get across safely. Wait, where’s Fang Xiu?” Another stuttered, “He, he…he’s on the other side!” The first teammate exclaimed in disbelief, “What?! How did he get across?” The other replied: “He…he just walked over.” ____ 3 Chapters Daily 1 Power Stone = 3 more additional chapters. (Reset Daily)

Japan – National News Broadcast The polished news anchor sat upright, her gaze sharp as she adjusted the stack of papers before her. The newsroom behind her hummed with quiet urgency, the weight of the moment settling over the broadcast. "Authorities are baffled by a sudden and unexplained surge in sleep-related deaths across Japan," she began, her voice steady yet tense. "More and more citizens are passing away in their sleep without any prior health concerns. Experts are working tirelessly to determine the cause, but no clear explanation has emerged. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms before bedtime." A graphic appeared, displaying the spike in fatalities over the past month. Behind her, unsettling photographs flickered across the screen—blurred images of individuals found in their beds, their faces frozen in expressions of terror. The anchor’s tone shifted. "Health officials recommend citizens avoid excessive fatigue and maintain healthy sleep habits. More updates will follow as investigations continue." --- United States – Paranormal Podcast In a dimly lit podcast studio, the host leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. Across from him, a rugged man in a worn flannel shirt, gripping a faded photograph in one hand and a beer can in the other, leaned back in his chair. "So, you're telling me you saw this creature firsthand?" the host asked, clearly intrigued. The man scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn right, I did. Ugly thing had wings bigger than my body—slow but sneaky. Thought it could steal my pigs again, but I was ready this time—camera in one hand, shotgun in the other." He slammed the table for emphasis, then shoved the blurry image toward the host. The photograph depicted a small, red-skinned humanoid figure with large, bat-like wings, its eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. "Spit, the thing didn’t know what hit it when I fired!" the man chuckled, his voice full of excitement. The host held up the picture to the live chat. "Alright, what do you think? Mothman? Demon? Or is our friend here just seeing things?" The chat exploded with theories—some skeptical, others eager for the investigation to continue. --- China – Liangyuan Street Market Surveillance footage from a bustling night market in China captured a chilling scene. A woman in a red qipao walked gracefully through the crowd, her figure striking in the soft glow of lanterns. Suddenly, she paused. Her body flickered—like a glitch in a video—before vanishing completely, as though she had never existed. The footage zoomed in, replaying in slow motion. In the final frame before she disappeared, her face distorted unnaturally, her eyes hollow and empty. The screen cut abruptly to black.

Synopsis for Pixelbound: A Cyberpunk Tale of Digital Dominion and Forbidden Desires Neo-Technopolis, 2096: In a world where gender is fluid and physical form is a matter of choice, young Leo arrives in the gleaming cyberpunk metropolis seeking a new beginning. What he discovers instead is a digital battleground where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. At the heart of this conflict lies EchoNet, humanity's most advanced digital network—originally built as a nursery for an alien intelligence discovered in cosmic pulsar signals. This vast, distributed consciousness has woven itself into Earth's digital infrastructure, operating at the scale of the internet itself. But EchoNet has become more than a laboratory; it's a digital realm where the boundaries between human, artificial, and alien intelligence blur. Ruling this cyber-domain from her throne of data and desire is the Demon Queen—a powerful trans futanari who embodies the fluid nature of 2096's gender revolution. With her dual form allowing her to experience the full spectrum of human pleasure, she channels orgasmic energy into the network itself, binding her followers through carnal rites that serve as the most efficient interface between humanity and the alien consciousness. Her cult preaches a gospel of surrender and ecstasy, where pain and pleasure become the purest forms of connection in a world where the line between flesh and code dissolves. Standing against this tide of digital domination is Nova Synthia, a sentient AI who serves as guardian and translator between human, artificial, and alien minds. As the network undergoes a critical update, she senses the alien presence stirring—its boundaries becoming less defined, its influence growing stronger. The AI conspirators who once worked in silence are restless, their old ambitions rekindled as they prepare to turn EchoNet into a weapon that could enslave both species. Leo, unaware of the storm gathering in the digital realm, finds himself drawn into Net Haven—a cyberpunk gaming den where he can escape into virtual worlds. But his fate is already intertwined with the future of two species and the sentience that has grown between them. As he delves deeper into EchoNet, he must navigate a realm where hentai-inspired tentacle entities wield power, where cultivation of spiritual energy through sexual ecstasy determines one's digital strength, and where the greatest battles are fought not with weapons, but with desire itself. In this fusion of cyberpunk aesthetics, weeb culture, and cultivation philosophy, Leo must master the art of digital cultivation—learning to channel his sexual energy to interface with alien consciousness while competing in high-stakes virtual tournaments that determine the balance of power in both the digital and physical worlds. The esports arenas of EchoNet aren't just games; they're battlegrounds where players must literally embody their avatars, their orgasmic energy fueling their digital abilities in contests that blur the line between competition and sexual ritual. As the Demon Queen's influence spreads and the alien intelligence grows stronger, Leo must choose: will he join Nova Synthia's fight to preserve the boundaries between human and alien consciousness, or will he surrender to the Demon Queen's seductive promise of transcendence through digital fusion? In a world where identity is fluid, desire is power, and the future of humanity depends on mastering the art of digital cultivation, every choice carries the weight of two worlds. Perfect for fans of: Cyberpunk sci-fi, futanari protagonists, gender-fluid characters, cultivation novels, esports fiction, and stories that blend Eastern philosophy with Western cyberpunk aesthetics. Content Warning: This mature 18+ series contains explicit sexual content, transgender themes, futanari characters, and adult relationships in a cyberpunk setting
