Is Piggys Death Necessary To Develop Themes In The

In the Golden Age of humanity, when every person possesses supernatural abilities called Arts, Adrian Beaumont appears to be everything society admires. A master of the elegant combat style known as Phantom Dance, he runs a prestigious martial arts academy for young noblewomen in the isolated valleys of the Astoria Kingdom. His reputation as a skilled instructor and wealthy gentleman makes him the perfect catch for any ambitious family seeking to elevate their daughters' status. But perfection is Adrian's greatest lie. Abandoned at five by a prostitute mother who used Mind Arts to manipulate his emotions, Adrian was raised by Master Takeshi, a reformed assassin who taught him that true art transcends mere violence. Under this tutelage, Adrian learned to move like liquid shadow, to strike with supernatural precision, and to transform combat into poetry. Yet where Takeshi sought redemption through discipline, Adrian found only a more sophisticated way to express his hatred. Each woman who enters his estate becomes part of an elaborate performance. He studies their Arts, learns their weaknesses, and then orchestrates their deaths with the same meticulous care a composer brings to a symphony. His underground gallery preserves thirty-seven bodies in poses of perfect artistry, each one a testament to his growing mastery of what he calls the Dance of Death. Adrian's evolution as a predator follows a deliberate progression. He begins with naive noble girls whose Combat Arts are decorative at best, then escalates to seasoned warriors whose Elemental Arts can reshape landscapes. Each victim forces him to innovate, to push his Phantom Dance technique beyond its limits. His signature move, the Death's Waltz, becomes a legend whispered in martial arts circles—a technique so beautiful that witnesses claim it resembles an angel's final dance. The game changes when Sara Kane arrives at his estate. Unlike his previous victims, she possesses the Shield Maiden Art, a defensive technique that adapts to any attack. More importantly, she has an investigator's instinct inherited from her brother Marcus. When she becomes the first person to survive an encounter with Adrian, she triggers a chain of events that will transform his intimate murders into open warfare. Inspector Marcus Kane wields the Truth Seeker Art, an ability that allows him to reconstruct crime scenes and detect deception. As he follows Sara's fragmented testimony into the mystery of dozens of missing women, he discovers that Adrian Beaumont doesn't just kill—he curates death like a gallery exhibition. The investigation becomes a psychological duel between two masters of their respective Arts: one who seeks truth, another who has made lying into an art form. But Adrian refuses to be cornered quietly. As the investigation closes in, he abandons all pretense of subtlety. His killing spree escalates from careful selection to bold declaration. He targets the kingdom's most legendary female warriors, turning each battle into a public spectacle. Lady Victoria Ashford, master of the Celestial Sword Art, becomes his most ambitious victim yet—a confrontation that will require Adrian to reveal techniques he has kept hidden for years. The kingdom mobilizes against him, but Adrian has spent decades preparing for this moment. His estate becomes a fortress of death, every room designed to showcase a different aspect of his artistic vision. The martial arts world watches in horror as he transforms their most sacred techniques into instruments of systematic murder. His philosophy spreads like poison among his admirers: that beauty can only be achieved through destruction, that art requires the ultimate sacrifice.

> In a world shattered by ancient gods, cursed technology, and forgotten magic, death was supposed to be the end. But for Li Tianming, the last Warlord of the Southern Deadlands, death was only the beginning. Betrayed. Slaughtered. Devoured by the very world he once protected — Tianming awakens 100 years later in the ashes of the old Dragon Empire, reborn in the fragile body of a teenager. The sky bleeds. The cities burn. Monstrous beasts roam free. Factions wage secret wars over soul shards and corrupted relics. Bound to an ancient Chaos System, Tianming can now extract powers, memories, and skills from every soul he kills. The more he fights, the less human he remains — and the more chaos he inherits. Cultivators? Mutants? Systems? Reincarnators? Let them come. In a world where mercy is weakness and gods are nothing but tyrants, only one rule remains: Devour… or be devoured. — Let the hunt begin.

A Lazy man awakens in a vast, unfamiliar hall, surrounded by strangers who, like him, have no recollection of how they arrived. Panic spreads as the group struggles to make sense of their predicament. Among them, a charismatic leader named Arthur Francis emerges, urging order and cooperation. But Bernard remains distant, skeptical of both the people around him and the situation itself. As tensions rise, a cloaked figure wielding a scythe descends, delivering a chilling proclamation: Welcome to the Death Realm. The group soon learns that they are trapped in a world between life and death, forced to confront trials that will determine their fate. Some will prove their worth, others will succumb to despair, and secrets about their pasts—and the true nature of the Death Realm—will slowly unravel. With danger lurking at every turn, Bernard must decide whether to embrace Arthur’s leadership or forge his own path. But in a realm where trust is fleeting and survival is not guaranteed, one question haunts them all: Why were they chosen?

Alexander Kael Touch, a self-made young billionaire, found his meteoric rise tragically cut short on a school trip. But fate had other plans, whisking him and his classmates away to a realm of swords and magic – a world where power manifested as unique: ''Gifts." While friends awoke to magnificent Gifts, Alex's Gift yielded only two enigmatic guns: one gleaming silver, the other shrouded in black. Worse, he couldn't use magic like his peers, drawing scorn and derision. Yet, fueled by an unyielding spirit and a burning dream, Alex refused to falter. In this new world, he craved not wealth, but the strength to forge his own destiny. One goal burned bright: to rise once more, not to the peaks of financial power, but to the pinnacle of strength and control. This is the chronicle of Alexander Kael Touch, the boy with two guns in a world of wonders. A tale of relentless struggle, forged in the crucible of mockery and doubt. A journey to the apex, where the scorned student will become the ultimate warrior. Whispers of the "Death Guns Master" stir, echoes of a legend rising from slumber. The world may have forgotten them, but they are coming back. †††††††††††† Nickaido's here with D-Guns, do not expect the smartest MC because he was once a billionaire, is still young, he has his flaws, he will learn and grow, so will the other characters. At the beginning other characters are stronger but worry not everything will change starting from around chapter 80 onward. Also sorry in advance because some of the female characters have strong backgrounds but it's for the sake of the future story, this book is just the start, I'm still improving. Sorry in advance, English is not my first language, so they may be grammatical errors and misspelled words. Please bear with me. I'm trying to improve to provide a better story. Starting from chapter 200th, I have started using Grammarly premium to help me with the English, so I think it's become better. As for the earliest chapters, I have started to re-edit them slowly; I will do more as I get more time. Maybe hire a professional editor when I can. Once again, this is not some sophisticated story; it has many flaws, which I'm trying to learn from; however, this doesn't make the story less enjoyable. Would you please give it a try?

Will they be able to fall in love

Matías Castleboard was humanity's last shield. A soldier. A hero. A killer. He died bringing peace... but found no rest. Reincarnated as Kael Lanpar, heir to the most powerful clan on the continent of Mayora, he now lives in a world of ancient magic, forgotten races, and gods who play with the threads of existence. However, his past has not disappeared. The scars of his former life bleed into this one, and with each memory that emerges, Kael sinks deeper into a dilemma that few could bear: Can a second life offer redemption... or only more condemnation? But there is something worse than trauma and war. Knowledge. Because the more Kael discovers about this world—and about himself—the more he understands that the truth does not set him free: it destroys him. And at the end of the road, what awaits him is not an enemy, but something even worse, something we all know but do not understand. A conscience. A truth that cannot be unlearned. A dark and introspective fantasy story about second chances, traumas that never die, and the price of knowing too much. Ideal for readers who seek more than battles: they seek meaning.
