On his journey, he discovers a mysterious system that reveals his true identity as a Demigod-Vampire. To grow stronger, Ken must complete quests and missions, but he's faced with an impossible task: consuming blood.

I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way! And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words.

The second male guest eagerly asked, "Lucy, would you join me for dinner tomorrow?" Not only the male guests but also the female guests couldn't resist Lucy's charm.

“Honey, look! The man on TV is as handsome as you!” Luo Youyou shouted in surprise as she held a bowl of fried noodles. After all, the chance of seeing a man as handsome as one’s own husband was extremely rare, right? Li Guihan held his forehead and shrugged.

QI's system right now categorizes all novels taken from the female novel Chinese site (起点女生网) as 'romance' without fail, regardless of whether they truly are romance. So, if you are here just for the romance, you might want to find a different novel. There will be some romance eventually, but most of this novel is Sci-Fi/Xianxia with a lot of world-building and character development. 2) I use British spelling. So, please ensure spelling errors are really errors before reporting them. 3) No matter what the release rate up top says, the guaranteed release rate right now is 1 chp/day (a.k.a. 7 chps/week). All else is extra at my discretion. (I'll try my best, but RL responsibilities come first.)

https://cpunovel.com/series/transmigrated-into-a-tragic-romance-fantasy/ I was curious about what a female-oriented tragic romantic fantasy was like, so I skimmed through only the free chapters. And then… “…Ha.” I found myself transmigrated into one of the main male characters, destined for tears of regret, exhaustion, and obsession. So, the first thing that had to be done was… “I, Elden Raphelion, hereby declare my withdrawal from the competition for the betrothal of the Third Northern Duchess.” To escape this tragedy.

"You are the moon which shines through the darkness that is my life, the epitome of chaos that I embraced with open arms. I loved you then, still love you now, and will always love you for the rest of my never-ending existence…" *** Eona's first memory included supernaturals - one who threatened her life and the other who saved her on that particular night. But growing up, she was taught that werewolves and vampires were not real. That they just belong in tales and old legends, and that they were only characters in stories used to scare children at night. A fiction. With an innocent mind, she believed them. Until the time when she started to question everything. She started to doubt when the normalcy she was brought up with didn't seem so… normal. The things she was made to believe were actually the same things that made her doubt. When the truth she was made to believe became lies in an instant and everything normal was turned upside down, Eona was pulled into a world her family tried so hard to keep her away from. Even though she knew it was dangerous, like a moth to a flame, she was drawn into that world. A world where humans like herself obviously do not belong to - the world of supernatural beings. The dangers did not stop her from delving in deeper. Eona found it more beautiful than the world she currently lives in. And her unending curiosity brought her to meet Rouen. She didn't know what force it was that kept pulling her into his world. But fate couldn't be more cruel and unfair because the answers she sought came to her on that one fateful night. The night when Rouen made a vow and Eona literally… died.
