Bloodstone

Bloodstone Academy

Jade Eadwald is a peculiar teenager, living with neglectful, multi-billionaire parents who hoard a load of shady secrets, and a dark past they would do anything to keep their only daughter from finding out. The Eadwald's move from house to house every year, constantly attempting to leave their past behind. But this fall, they have decided to move back to London, where it all began, for reasons unknown, and Jade is in for a school term she might not survive through. Jade is set to join a school called 'Bloodstone Academy' for the fall term, and unknown to her, behind the ancient stone-walls of the castle, lies a whole new, dark and dangerous world she will inevitably come to be a part of. 'The Vampires of Ruin' have come to reside within the walls of Bloodstone Academy, and they seem to be on the hunt for something, or rather, someone important. The Blood Prophecy that was once told a hundred years ago has been retold by another witch from the Almathea coven, and vampires all over the world have grown agitated. Tension that's been building up for a century is at its peak, and The Vampires of Ruin are relentless in their search for the one the Prophecy speaks of. Until Jade walks into the hallways of Bloodstone Academy on an early September autumn morning, with a cold, indifferent expression on her stunning face. Wild-haired, dark-skinned with a mysterious, radiant beauty that makes the world swoon, Jade quickly catches the attention of everyone in Bloodstone Academy. But especially that of two vampires; Vasilis Wang and Roman Augustus. Suddenly finding herself trapped in the webs of a dangerous love triangle, Jade realizes the boys she's falling for are not human, and her new school is no regular high-school either. Something bigger than all of them, and the affections they've come to harbor for one another is brewing just beneath the surface of their collective consciousness, and Jade seems to be the sole catalyst to a disastrous event that will come to threaten the existence of all Vampires. Bloody, dark secrets are suddenly being dug out of graves and tombstones, and the Eadwalds' family secrets seem to be right in the mix, too. Will Jade survive being in the center of so much turmoil and destruction? Or will her heart be able to bear loving two immortals she might end up having to destroy?

The Karmic Comeback: Capture the Beast and Turn the Tides

After enduring three lifetimes of hardships and bloodshed, Bai Feiyin was promised with glitters and rainbows in her fourth life by none other than her contracted beast after it ascends. But before she could even achieve her goal, everything went down the drain as she decided not to fall victim into what...? A con-artist's trap?! "What a bull!" Thrown into a backward existence, she can only grit her teeth and pull a hankerchief in rage. Since she can't directly blame the gods, Bai Feiyin swear to get back with her so-called companion beast. "Argh! Y-you treacherous snake! I knew from the start that you couldn't be trusted! I should have roasted you when I saw you dying the first time we met, not signing that sham contract and work with you to ascend!" The anger in her system didn't subside. "You sent me back to my first life? For real? Wow, wow fantastic! What perfect shit!"  She specifically told him not in this life, that despicable man! "So you want to toy with me? Then be it! I will scour the mountains and hunt you down! I don't believe that I go back in time, you, my contracted beast won't go back as well," she uttered resolutely. Face beet red, burning in rage, she stared intently at the pigeon bloodstone inside her palms with a mark of a serpent's slitted eyes. "Those two other lives filled with war and bloodshed weren't lived in vain. Since you've sent me here, I will bury you along with those greedy pigs from the Bai Main Branch who owe me and my family four lifetimes' worth of debts!" Not long after she bemoaned, "Hmm, no hold on." Revealing a bit rather conflicted look, she tried to suppress her ire upon cooking up something like a shrewd mastermind. "On the second thought, just burying Hong with that regretfully good-looking face of his would be such a pity..." she pondered, but very soon snapped with glee. "Fine, it's a wrap! I will capture that little snake and work his ass like he did to me!" Bai Feiyin, looking like a greedy hyena, found her resolved with bright twinkling eyes that casted away the shadows under her swollen eyes. "Let's sell him off to some rich aunties and get lots of dowries!" *** This will include beastmen but in the form of spirit beasts. There's a hint of cultivation but just subtle that's why I didn't add it as a tag. Please support me thank you!

The BloodStone Harem

Empress Yanelis Kalino is feared and revered by many. She is strong willed, smart, clever, and a master with weapons. Being both deadly in skills and in looks, she has the world practically laid out before her. And now, an heir is in order. She finds herself sending a request to have a Prince from the Kingdom of Phasikar, uniting it to her Empire of Kuxecaea. The smaller kingdom isn’t something she worries about, but will offer her protection so long as a decent prince is offered. However, she doesn’t necessarily rush into anything, and finds some interesting things about her new husband, including him being an illegitimate child of the King Diarmait Crandomna. When she makes him an offer he couldn’t refuse in exchange for him choosing two suitors for her harem, pleasing her is simply the start of their path for revenge against the Kingdom of Phasikar and all that had dared to betray them. Excerpt: “And your wish, state it clearly for all to know.” Yanelis leisurely commands, looking as though she hadn’t a care in the world knowing full well what her Emperor is going to say to her council. “I, Emperor Asteropaios Crandomna, first of my name and devote spouse to Empress Yanelis Kalino, wish for the Empire of Kuxecaea to conquer the Kingdom of Phasikar.” He states with all of the strength of a true Emperor, a deadly and malicious aura rolling off of him in waves. “Your Majesties, we must have a justifiable reason to start a war…” Duke Vakhtang Shishman says without thinking before recovering from shock. “When have I ever needed a reason besides ‘Because I want to’?” Empress Yanelis asks with a huge smile that causes fear to rise in her subjects. With a snap of her fingers, she gives a sharp order. “Whip him twenty times for speaking such nonsense. I expect you to meet us in the war room after, Duke Vakhtang Shishman.” And with that, she rises and leads the way to their war room, pleased with her Emperor for the moment as the sharp crack of a whip is heard.

My Sign-in System Rewarded Me With a Thousand Years of Cultivation

[Successful Sign-in.] [Congratulations, you received a top-notch cultivation technique, Null Chaos Scripture.] "Null Chaos Scripture? That sounds terrifying. I wonder what level it is to be called top-notch." Jun Yunjun was excited as he stared at today's daily Sign-in Reward. Yesterday, he had only received a reward that helped him with his cultivation. It was a Body-tempering Pill which helped him to raise his cultivation level in the Body-tempering realm. With the help of that pill, his cultivation rose by two levels from second-level to fourth-level of Body-tempering. From first to third-level of Body-tempering, it was the early stage of the Body-tempering realm. The fourth level was the start of the mid-level of the Body-tempering realm. There was a qualitative change that was stronger than the first three levels combined. He could feel that his strength had increased by at least five times! More importantly, he now had the top-notch cultivation technique, Null Chaos Scripture. Although he didn't know what level of cultivation technique it was, he knew that it was extremely powerful. Just the name had already sounded so domineering, so how could it be weak? Besides, even if it was not too strong, he could just wait leisurely for a stronger cultivation technique. It was only a matter of idly signing in every day. An ancient book appeared out of thin air in front of Jun Yunjun. He calmly took it and started opening it to comprehend the cultivation technique. However, he only read a few words before his brows creased uncontrollably. He had an extremely ugly look on his face as he closed the book with a sigh. "My comprehension is not enough…" Jun Yunjun muttered. He had not received any reward related to increasing his comprehension from the Daily Sign-in Rewards. His level of comprehension was only the same as an average Body-tempering cultivator. If the Null Chaos Scripture was truly an extremely high level cultivation technique, then it was no wonder that he couldn't comprehend even a single word. He had to raise his comprehension to the appropriate level before he could start to comprehend more words from the ancient book. Jun Yunjun sighed as he put away the Null Chaos Scripture into the system's built-in storage space. Inside the storage space, there were already quite a few cultivation resources that he received as the daily rewards from the system. He was planning to use them steadily so that it could be used for future cultivation instead of using it up all now. In the middle of the storage space, there was a book lying there. It was a cultivation technique at the level of the Body-tempering realm. It was the cultivation technique that he was using now. On the cover of the book, there were words that read 'Heavenly Lightning Technique (Body-tempering)'. It also had a domineering name like the Null Chaos Scripture, but it was a simplified version of the Body-tempering chapter of the Heavenly Lightning Technique. After breaking through to the Qi-refining realm, it would become useless. He would need the corresponding realm's chapter if he wanted to cultivate toward the Foundation Establishment realm and beyond. 'I should continue cultivating…' Jun Yunjun thought as he sat back down and crossed his legs. He hesitated for a moment before he reached inside the storage space and took out a cultivation resource. It was a Lightning Bloodstone that was especially used by lightning element cultivators to temper their bodies in the Body-tempering realm. It could stimulate one's blood qi with lightning and strengthen the bones and muscles. One's blood qi would then have slight properties of lightning qi before even reaching the Qi-refining realm. Their explosive strength and speed would feel like the rumbling of thunder and flash of lightning. Static energy would appear between their muscles and bones. Lightning element cultivators were extremely rare.
