Blood Eater- is a story mainly focused on characters and plot, with a notable effort put into the world itself. If you like mystery, action and violence, you should read this book. With inspiration from other novels on the platform, such as Shadow Slave or my own novel Summoned Into the World of the Gods on my other account, I tried my best to create something that was both fun to write and hopefully fun to read, while staying in my comfort zone and trying to maximize my writing potential. This is around my 8-12 story that I’m trying to tell, and I hope that you enjoy it. Of course, any feedback/suggestions/questions, etc. etc. are welcome and I’ll do my best to respond :) --------------------- - Minimum of ~800 words/chapter (though usually around 1000) - Minimum 1 chapter every day.

From 06/01/25 x1 Chapter Every Weekday In the decaying city of Red Blossom, where shadows are as lethal as steel, young Yao Qin is no stranger to suffering. Orphaned, betrayed, and trapped in a relentless cycle of survival, his world is one of cruelty and despair. But Yao Qin harbors a secret: the memories of a life already lived—and lost. When a fatal betrayal sends him back to his youth, he vows to rewrite his destiny, no matter the cost. Bound to two ancient forces—the Gravewalker, a cosmic entity tied to the cycle of reincarnation, and a Shard of the Blood God, a remnant of a primordial being of destruction—Yao Qin walks a perilous path. His journey takes him deep into the underworld of the Great Sin Gang, to the dark rituals of the Black Phantom Cult, and into the heart of Red Blossom’s power struggles. As he hones his deadly skills and forges forbidden pacts, Yao Qin’s ambition grows: to dismantle the corrupt powers that robbed him of his family, to ascend the treacherous cultivation realms, and to unravel the mysteries of his bloodstained lineage. But power comes at a price, and the forces he wields may prove as dangerous to him as they are to his enemies. With allies who may become enemies and enemies who may know the truth of his past, Yao Qin must tread carefully. For in a world where strength is survival and weakness is death, even immortality can be accursed.

A/N: Just like I've said, I'm cooking some peeak shii. Anyway, a new book will soon be published by me. It runs in the same "timeline" has this and I won't be able to move on with where TA currently is until I write at least forty chapters of said book, for it to meet TA "timeline" I know it's confusing. But just trust in this young one and know I'll always keep cooking like I always do. Will keep you all updated on the book's creation. Author's POV: I can see that most readers on this platform seem to be more eager for instant gratification, same old common plots and overpowered unrealistic characters and perhaps only a few set of readers truly read a book for its plot twist, lore development, mystery and world building expansion. Unfortunately that's what this book is all about. And you might see a mix of dark souls genre, coupled with mysticism, mystery, emotive style of writing, high octane elements, a sprinkle of science and oh the most unique kind of system and so on. But most of this all come into play one step at a time. I am of the belief that a truly peeak novel is made from laying a stable and solid foundation to work with later on. And so, to get to this parts, the first branch which is dark souls!: One has to get past the first thirty or so chapters that focuses on psychological and supernatural horror. Anyway: If you enjoy advent of the three calamities by Entrail and Shadow Slave by G3, then this novel is for you.

In the aftermath of Shadows Protocol, the world remains a perilous landscape of covert missions, political intrigues, and underground conflicts. As tensions between nations escalate, Pakistan’s elite intelligence team, led by the seasoned agent Zayan Malik, faces their greatest challenge yet—a rescue mission fraught with deception, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. It all begins with the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Zayan during a crucial mission in Lebanon. Tasked with intercepting and dismantling joint Israeli and Indian covert operations, the mission ends in catastrophe. A massive explosion rocks the target area, and Zayan is presumed dead, caught in the blast. His team—comprising Ubaid, Irfan, Kashif, and Captain Rizwan—finds themselves reeling from the loss of their leader, grappling with grief, doubt, and a profound sense of betrayal. The mission, which had seemed straightforward, now hangs over them as an unsolved mystery. Ten days pass in an agonizing blur of mourning and frustration until Aaliya, the team’s brilliant intelligence specialist, intercepts a cryptic communication hinting that Zayan might still be alive, held captive in Israel. The faint hope reignites the team’s determination, and Major Hamza, their chief, authorizes a new mission. The stakes are higher than ever as they covertly enter Israel, operating under intense scrutiny and evading a network of traps. However, the trail leads them to nothing—a carefully orchestrated ruse to lure them into enemy territory. Humiliated and disheartened, the team returns home, their trust in the intelligence community shaken, but Aaliya remains unconvinced that this is the end of their search. Months pass with no solid leads until a fragment of intelligence surfaces, pointing towards an oil refinery in the depths of Iraq. The team, though battered by the earlier failure, seizes this opportunity. They gather their equipment, resolve bolstered by the possibility that Zayan might be closer than ever. Major Hamza authorizes the mission, knowing the risks but also understanding that this could be their last chance to save their comrade. The journey to Iraq is fraught with peril, the team navigating hostile terrain, avoiding enemy patrols, and using every trick in their book to remain undetected. Every step they take is a step closer to a potential ambush, but they move with purpose, each of them understanding that this is a mission they cannot afford to fail. The refinery stands in a barren desert, surrounded by armed guards, patrolled by drones, and fortified with defenses. The team moves under the cover of night, taking up positions around the target. Ubaid, Irfan, and Kashif, with the patience of seasoned operatives, wait for the perfect moment to strike. Aaliya monitors the situation from afar, guiding them through the labyrinthine pathways and providing vital surveillance. As dawn approaches, the atmosphere is electric with tension, every sound amplified in the quiet desert night. Suddenly, the operation erupts into a firefight, bullets ricocheting off metal structures and grenades detonating amidst the chaos. The refinery becomes a battlefield, the echoes of gunfire blending with the sounds of the desert. The team pushes forward, cutting through the defenses and leaving a trail of destruction behind them. They know the cost of hesitation—failure means losing Zayan forever, and they are prepared to make any sacrifice necessary. Deep within the refinery’s underground levels, they locate a fortified chamber. The sight inside shocks them—Zayan, their leader, chained and barely conscious, his body bruised and battered from days of captivity. Hope mingles with fury as they realize the true extent of his ordeal. Ubaid, his voice cracking, sends a desperate message back to Major Hamza: "الحمداللہ sir, Zayan is alive and he's with us, but he's badly injured. Mission accomplished."

Three months ago, Dean came to the city from his hometown to meet his old school friend, Alex, hoping to get a job through him. He knew Alex was rich, and as they had been friends since school, Dean assumed Alex would offer him a position in his company. But to his surprise, Alex appointed him as the nanny to his two-year-old son, Kikki. Dean hated the job at first. Kikki's daily antics drove him crazy, making him work non-stop, cleaning and running after the child all day. Yet, every time he saw Kikki's smile, his heart softened. But that wasn't his only problem. The more time Dean spent with Alex, the more he began developing feelings he couldn't explain. Feelings that weren't part of his original plan. Before it was too late, Dean thought he should run away before things got more complicated. But would Alex let him go? After all, it seemed like Alex was enjoying Dean's company too. Or was it just a game Alex was playing to keep him close? Who knows? A heartwarming and crazy love story of two men falling for each other while taking care of a mischievous child.

In a realm where legends breathe and the dead walk, the murim world exists on the knife’s edge of honor and savagery. Here, warriors aren’t just born but forged through relentless trials, wielding powers that reflect the very spirit within them. Ancient clans, bound by intricate codes and ancient feuds, vie for dominance, each cultivating their own martial secrets, whispered only through generations or carved into scrolls soaked in the blood of those who sought them. This land, cloaked in myth and shrouded in mystery, is one of harsh beauty, a tapestry of vast mountain ranges, haunted forests, and ruined temples where ghosts of fallen warriors linger. Among the wanderers, ronin, and hidden assassins, a delicate balance holds; it is a peace that trembles under the weight of long-held grudges, greed, and the thirst for power. Through silent pathways and forgotten villages, those who dare to walk alone, like Ebon, move as phantoms, forging their paths beyond the constraints of clan loyalty or kinship. These wanderers are nameless shadows, bound only to their own purpose and haunted by the spirits of their past. Yet, for all their independence, even they are touched by the unseen hand of the murim’s brutal politics and mystical forces. In this world of veiled faces, blood oaths, and silent vendettas, every step echoes with danger, and every encounter holds the potential to turn friend to foe. Those who dare to follow this path walk a line between life and legend, their fates lost in the whispers of the ancient and unyielding murim.
