Hello, everyone. If you're reading this, you may have read my other stories. I'm starting this one as a bit of a "getting back into it" story. (The synopsis will be further down) Both stories I've written will continue in the near future. (I have to re-read them because I've experienced a massive bout of memory loss.) Apologies for those of you waiting, but I had unavoidable circumstances that impeded my writing experiences. The cover isn't mine but it's been lightly photoshopped. If you want it taken down, tell me. (Signed by Author on April 25th, 2023) Anyways, time for the synopsis: Lia was a simple girl in her previous life. Well not really, considering she was the hit woman for the largest mafia organization that operated within the United States. Over the years, her exceedingly high kill count, and overall success rate was something to be afraid of. Her personality was something akin to pure confidence, bordering on arrogance. She dealt with people the same way she did her enemies. By ruining their lives in the most horrific ways. IE: Setting them up for FBI investigations, having their houses repossessed by the government, or even having them framed for a serious crime. Lia was someone that no one wanted to ever cross. If you did cross her, you might as well have signed your own death certificate! That was until she was smacked in the head by a falling piano. While following through on a hit, no less! I mean, come on! A piano?! that's unfathomably crazy. Well, despite getting hit by a literal piano, she still managed to finish the job. But the very next day, she choked on a sandwich and nearly died! Her luck seemed to have literally bottomed out. This "streak of bad luck" had continued in her life for years! Literal years! She had come so close to dying so many times that she was genuinely confused as to how this could happen to someone! From falling down a flight of stairs to nearly breaking her neck during a cartwheel (despite having so much experience that she could do them with her eyes closed.) Lia had experienced so many near-death experiences that she had become entirely immune to the weird circumstances happening around her. Eventually, the bad luck did catch her. She was minding her own business, walking through the streets of Seattle when a coin rolled across the ground and tripped someone else, who dropped an umbrella, which she tripped over. Her fall had her land directly into the flow of moving traffic. She was then hit by a small square-body pickup truck. It had a small sticker of a smug smiling face attached to its front bumper. Lia had died because of what was essentially a coin. A coin had actually managed to kill a human being. Not just any human, but one of the most feared people within the US. Warnings for all readers: -This novel will (at some point) contain lesbian sex scenes. -System tag doesn't mean in the most literal way. (you'll find out more if you read it.) -This may become a Yuri harem novel (haven't decided.) -Will contain very strong LGBTQ+ themes

"Eternal Rebirth: The Fall of the Gods" In a universe where gods control the fabric of reality, one man is born destined to undo everything. Arin, once a hopeless, insignificant child, is abandoned by his family and forced to survive in a world that seems indifferent to his existence. But the truth lies hidden within him—Arin is the most powerful being in the cosmos, and his destiny is far from ordinary. When a chance encounter with Amara, a girl with a terminal illness, ignites a spark of love, Arin's life is forever changed. He vows to protect her, only to watch her die at the hands of a godly conspiracy. Consumed by rage, Arin awakens his dormant power and embarks on a quest for revenge, turning from a helpless boy into a dangerous force of nature. Guided by an enigmatic girl who helps him unlock his true abilities, Arin begins to confront the gods—immortal beings who have ruled the universe with an iron fist. In his journey, he learns that his powers are not just the result of fate, but are tied to a greater cosmic design, a cycle of creation and destruction that has spanned eons. As he unravels the mystery of his origins, he discovers a truth even more terrifying: the gods' fall was merely the beginning of an ancient and destructive cycle, and he is destined to either save or destroy the universe. With his newfound abilities, Arin wages a war against the gods themselves, battling their remnants in a brutal quest for vengeance and justice. But as he grows more powerful, the line between hero and monster begins to blur. Each victory comes at a steep price, and Arin must wrestle with the weight of his immortality and the consequences of his actions. His rage threatens to consume him, and the once-human boy begins to question if the price of vengeance is worth the destruction of everything he holds dear. In the final chapters, Arin must confront Zeraphon, an ancient god of creation and destruction, who seeks to merge with him and remake the universe in his image. Faced with the choice of becoming an immortal god or sacrificing himself for the greater good, Arin must make the ultimate decision—one that will either end the cycle or condemn the universe to eternal chaos. "Eternal Rebirth: The Fall of the Gods" is a high-stakes, action-packed novel of revenge, redemption, and cosmic balance. Filled with epic battles, shocking betrayals, and a deeply personal journey, it explores the consequences of power, immortality, and the price of love in a universe on the brink of collapse.

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

I don’t have extra food or resources, and we’re not even related in any way!” Umee fell silent. She pondered for a moment, and then suddenly called out: “Grandpa.” “I don’t have a son.” Umee paused to think again. “Grandpa on my mom’s side.” “I don’t have a daughter.” Umee pondered once more. “Daddy.” “I don’t have kids! I’m not even married!” The old man felt like he was losing his mind. Why was he standing here—under a heavy downpour—arguing with this clearly insane person?

Warning: This story contains adult scenes. Alex didn't say anything and moved forward toward the girl standing in front of him. He simply kissed her. "What was that for?" she asked, clearly shocked. It was the first time she experienced what happened next. "What? Do you have to kiss to...?" she trailed off, flabbergasted by the unexpected turn of events. Alex wasn't born ordinary; he was born with alexithymia, a condition that makes him unable to feel pain or emotions. Raised in a military family in an era dominated by advanced technology, Alex's world turned upside down when asteroids fell, causing animals to mutate into Ravagers—the deadliest creatures known, capable of obliterating entire countries. How will Alex navigate this perilous new world? While the story will focus mainly on the main plot, there will be elements of romance, including a harem. The lead includes many mature women, but rest assured, there will be no NTR (Netorare) involving the main character. Few members will be who will be ntr by main character. What is in for you? 1.) I will be honest the first volume will be somehow less enjoying as it is not fast-paced also as my first book you might find it hard to continue but from the second volume there will be no doubt about all this I have worked hard to improve it. 2.) Also there are almost no R18 chapters in the first volume because. The protagonist is a child. And I know you are not into these types. You know what I mean. This is my first novel, and I appreciate your support. Join our Discord for feedback and to help improve my work: https://discord.com/invite/mcRwgAZ9
