The Monster Hunter's Notes

On the day I was born, my village was struck by a series of bizarre events. First, Old Wang's white-haired dog, which had been with him for eight years, donned a black robe and stood upright, wandering the streets before stopping at my house to bow. Meanwhile, a horde of unusually large rats with blood-red eyes scurried through the streets, gathering at my doorstep and refusing to leave. This unusual sight enraged the village cats, sparking a fierce battle. Contrary to their usual behavior, the rats fearlessly clashed with the cats, leading to a gruesome scene with casualties on both sides. The villagers watched in stunned silence, while the elderly commented that such unnatural occurrences were omens of chaos as per ancient beliefs. That night, the strange occurrences continued with eerie opera singing emanating from an open space near my home. Curious onlookers ventured out only to discover the performers were figures made of paper, and the audience was a motley crew of supernatural beings surrounding a coffin. Inside the coffin, an old woman watched the spectacle with great interest. This sight terrified the villagers, who fled back to their homes, praying fervently for divine intervention from every deity they knew. The entire village, including my family, spent a sleepless night in fear. The following day, the creatures had vanished, leaving behind a mess that confirmed the night's events were not a dream. In rural areas, such supernatural incidents were often taken seriously, causing widespread alarm and speculation about a curse on my family. My grandfather, dressed in tattered clothes, rushed from the mountains and without explanation, began to beat my father and uncles severely, afterwards holding me and weeping bitterly. He ominously remarked that I was born a "bearer of sins, despised by both humans and ghosts," hinting at a mysterious affliction tied to my existence. That night, I developed a high fever and struggled between life and death, with my grandfather and uncles fighting off a malevolent spirit attempting to drain my life force. They fell ill from the ordeal, taking a month to recover. Years later, I learned of my grandfather's reasons for naming me Zhang Jiu Zui, meaning "Nine Sins," reflecting the burdens I carried from birth. Despite my introverted nature, inherited from my father's quiet demeanor, my grandfather took pride in my disinterest in worldly affairs, often taking me to his well-kept but humble abode filled with books on exorcism, folklore, and esoteric knowledge. I spent years immersed in these tales of demons and diviners, shaping my understanding of the world until academic pressures from high school forced me to visit less. My high school years ended in disappointment when illness ruined my chances at university exams, an event my grandfather oddly celebrated as fortunate. After deciding to retake the exams, my life took an unexpected turn when several luxury cars arrived at our village, heading straight for my grandfather's humble home. The well-dressed occupants from the cars approached with formal documents, knocking on his door with a sense of urgency and respect.

I got a luck-based system in a new world

-Roll the Dice and Pay the Price. Miles Jorden has always been unlucky. In his everyday life, disaster seems to stalk him—jobs fall apart, accidents find him at every turn, and even the simplest plans go awry. Yet, there’s one place where luck never fails him: the gaming table. As a Dungeon Master for his group of friends, Miles rolls dice with uncanny precision, his natural 20s earning him a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the tabletop world. After a particularly bad day—fired from his job and dumped on the same afternoon—Miles decides to lose himself in preparing his next campaign. While crafting an elaborate world for his players, he finds a peculiar set of dice tucked away in an old box. The dice glow faintly when he touches them, and before he can think twice, he rolls them. The numbers light up, and suddenly, Miles finds himself pulled into a world eerily similar to the one he created for his game. Miles is isekaied into the very fantasy realm he designed, but there’s a twist: he’s not a hero or adventurer—he’s the Dungeon Master, wielding immense power to influence the world but unable to directly intervene. His dice-rolling luck becomes his greatest weapon, allowing him to manipulate reality through the same rules he used in his games. Yet, the world is in chaos, with factions rising, monsters running rampant, and an ominous evil threatening to consume everything. To survive and save this world he inadvertently made, Miles must master his newfound role, gather allies, and navigate the very tropes and pitfalls he once used to torment his players. For the first time, his flawless dice rolls aren’t just a party trick—they’re the only thing standing between order and total destruction. In a twist of fate, Miles’ unlucky life has given him the ultimate chance to prove himself in a world where the stakes couldn’t be higher. ______

The Obsdian Veil

In the swirling mists of the Forgotten Vale, where time and fate unravel in shadowed threads, destiny awakens in a harrowing collision of light and darkness. Shadow of Destiny, the evocative prelude to The Obsidian Veil, lures readers into a world of fractured realities, ancient prophecies, and forbidden power. At the pinnacle of the ominous Temple of Hidden Truths, the Oracle Thanatos—once the most gifted seer—wrestles with the chaotic echoes of fractured futures. Within his Chamber of Infinite Reflections, suspended mirrors shimmer with possibilities, yet one vision defies all order: a young man whose fiery eyes blaze with raw, untamed energy, destined to reshape or shatter existence itself. Far from the temple’s ominous spires lies Kyreth’s Rest, a tranquil village oblivious to its looming fate. On the day of the Awakening Ceremony, where youths summon their spiritual echoes to define their destiny, Axen—a misfit burdened by fiery red eyes and self-doubt—steps forward to find only rejection.

Together, Axen and Havoc form an unlikely bond, their connection a spark of power older than the stars. As corrupted specters descend on the village, Axen must embrace his newfound strength, battling alongside Havoc to protect those who once doubted him. But this triumph is not without consequence. The villagers recoil from the darkness he wields, and whispers of ancient prophecies hint at a terrible truth: the mark Axen bears is not a symbol of salvation but an omen of chaos. In a tale woven with betrayal and redemption, Axen’s journey will pit him against friends turned foes, test his bond with Havoc, and reveal the chilling cost of wielding forbidden power.
