Every Shrine

The Cube That Swallowed Stars

Ha-eun, a jaded physics student drowning in debt and familial guilt, stumbles upon an antique shop that shouldn’t exist. There, she buys a mysterious cube—a relic that hums with the resonance of dead stars. Ignoring the owner’s cryptic warning (“Some truths dissolve the soul”), she touches it… and is torn into a liminal hell between dimensions. Trapped in a realm where time fractures, Ha-eun witnesses agonizing echoes of her life: her mother pleading with police, her father weeping at a makeshift shrine, and versions of herself thriving in happier timelines. But this purgatory is no passive prison. Hostile entities, born from swallowed civilizations and lost travelers, hunt her. To survive, she fights, adapts… and mutates. Millennia pass. Her skin hardens into a galaxy-veined carapace. Her hair bleaches white as forgotten constellations. The cube’s power sustains her, but each transformation erases another memory—her childhood, her name, the sound of her brother’s laugh. When she discovers other trapped souls, including a charming, half-mad alien warrior and a spectral version of the antique dealer himself, Ha-eun faces an impossible choice: Escape by damning another to take her place. Or ascend as the cube’s eternal guardian—a cosmic deity stripped of everything human. But as she uncovers the cube’s true purpose—a device forged to devour dying universes—Ha-eun realizes her survival could doom countless realities. Including her own.

The Forgotten Heiress: Rules of Rebirth

Title: "The Forgotten Heiress: Rules of Rebirth" When Sang Ning blinked awake in a rural farmhouse, the 21st century gained its most anachronistic socialite. The former crown jewel of Ming Dynasty aristocracy—trained from birth to command households and outmaneuver concubines—now found herself reborn as Nan Group's long-lost heiress. Her "sister"? A champagne-drenched fraud waving a Stanford diploma. "Your honors thesis plagiarizes 14th-century embroidery manuals," Sang Ning remarked over afternoon tea, her hanfu sleeves fluttering like war banners. The Nans soon learned bloodlines matter: This "peasant girl" restored ancestral shrines in a week, turned board meetings into imperial courts, and made their five-star chefs kneel when serving shark fin soup. Meanwhile, Beijing's most notorious heir was breaking his own rules. Jason He, whose Lamborghini collisions made tabloid gold, found himself obsessed with teaching modern customs to the time-traveling noblewoman: "Handshakes require... seven seconds of eye contact." His thumb stroked her pulse point. "Corporate dinners mandate... partner dancing." His grip slid lower at the waltz's crescendo. When she pressed a jade hairpin to his throat after an attempted goodnight kiss, the billionaire playboy grinned through bleeding lips: "Careful, princess. In this era, drawing blood means signing marriage contracts." In a world of silicon valley and silicon fillers, a queen from China's golden age is rewriting the rules of power—and passion.

"Demon, God, Hero: The Eternal Struggle of Every Life"

In the year 2026, the world is shattered when massive structures descend from the sky, crashing to Earth and unleashing chaos. Humanity is transported to the Tutorial, a brutal 100-floor trial designed to forge survivors into Hunters. Those who conquer it return to an Earth overrun by monstrous gates, where survival is a daily battle. Among them is Cosmic, a young man who never received the Tutorial’s power, living a normal life until his Hunter friends drag him into a deadly gate. Facing a terrifying dragon, Cosmic meets his end—but his story is far from over. Cosmic is the latest reincarnation of a soul chosen by the goddess Aetheria to save humanity. Across countless lives, he has been reborn as different races and classes, each life a step in his journey to become the Great Sage, a being destined to guide humanity through its eternal struggle. In one life, he was Eryndor, a human hero chosen to defeat the Demon King. Betrayed by his companions after fulfilling his destiny, Eryndor’s soul returned to Aetheria, who vowed to give him another chance. In another, he was Kaelion, a Demon Lord who rose to power in the underworld. Though feared by many, Kaelion sought to unite demons and humans, only to be struck down by those who feared his vision of peace. He has also lived as Lunara, an Elven Archmage who mastered the arcane arts to protect her forest home from destruction, and as Tharok, a Dwarven Blacksmith whose legendary weapons turned the tide of countless battles. Each reincarnation brings Cosmic closer to understanding the true nature of the eternal struggle—a cycle of conflict between demons, gods, and mortals. Now, as Cosmic, he must uncover the secrets of his past lives, harness the power of his many classes and races, and confront the forces that threaten to tear the world apart. From humble beginnings to the heights of power, Cosmic’s journey is one of sacrifice, growth, and the unyielding will to protect a world teetering on the brink of destruction.
