Danmachi Abused Bell

Bell Abyss: The Corpse Falls Chronicle

Title: Abyssal Chimes Genre: Cosmic Folk Horror / Time-Bending Thriller *Synopsis:* In the fog-shrouded valley of Corpse Falls Town, where pagoda trees bleed and construction sites exhale the breath of the dead, antiques dealer Lin Moyu becomes entangled in a temporal curse older than the Ming Dynasty. When a smuggled Bronze Bell covered in corpse wax appears in his shop, its cursed chimes fracture reality, revealing three overlapping timelines: a 15th-century massacre of shaman priests, a modern archaeological expedition’s disappearance, and Lin’s own complicity in a catastrophic urban development project three years prior. As the Bell’s vibrations summon corpse soldiers from limestone caves and warp digital devices into occult artifacts, Lin discovers every victim’s skull sprouts bronze roots connecting to an underground Bone Pagoda. The town’s "residents" are revealed as echoic phantoms—their deaths endlessly reenacted through cursed objects: QR codes that rewrite memories, livestreams broadcast from decaying eyeballs, and concrete mixed with ground funerary coins. Key horrors unfold through fractal revelations: - The Bell’s Sanskrit inscriptions are quantum codes predicting Lin’s own autopsy report - Construction blueprints from 2021 contain hidden blood sacrifice diagrams - Missing archaeologists are found fused with Ming dynasty burial silks, their smartphones playing war drums from 1423 The cosmic truth emerges through temporal bleeding: Corpse Falls Town exists in a "wound" between timelines, sustained by an ouroboros of guilt. Every character is simultaneously victim and perpetrator across centuries—Lin’s father designed the dam that awakened ancient curses, while Lin himself becomes the Ming general who first ordered mass executions to silence the shamans. *Themes:* - Guilt as a self-replicating cosmic force - Technology as modern necromancy (5G towers as spirit poles, cloud storage as soul jars) - Archaeological colonialism’s cyclical violence *Closing Paradox:* In the fractal finale, Lin must let the Bell annihilate all timelines—including his own birth—to break the curse. Yet the final page reveals this manuscript itself is a cursed object, its words rearranging to implicate whoever reads it in the next cycle of atrocities. *Comp Titles:* - *Annihilation* meets *The Ring* in Guillermo del Toro’s *Pan’s Labyrinth* - *Dark (Netflix)* collides with Junji Ito’s *Uzumaki* - *The Southern Reach Trilogy* rewritten as Ming dynasty occult procedural Hook: Every technological artifact you use—from subway QR codes to wireless earbuds—becomes a gateway to ancestral horror in this narrative ouroboros where reading the book implicates you in its curse.

The System that I abused

Heh... Looks like I'm finally dead. My streak has ended with one. last. kill. You know, I just want to come back to life. I want to be good this time. I never knew the benefits of being a good guy. I want to feel the pleasure, the sincere goodness of what it feels like to be liked by the people around you. Hah... All I ever had were my goons who followed whatever order I gave them. They didn't like me. They were scared of me. At least I gave it my all, and they respected me, not for personality or whatever. More like, the sheer terror of what I'm capable of. Now, I'm dead. They'll just take over my spot and have fun for once. Now I can rest in complete silence as the world starts to crumble, piece by piece... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Hill. A world-class criminal, who has been on the run since the age of 11. His first heinous act was stealing some money out of a cash register. Of course, he was caught. Being the simple 11 years old he was, he got let go. John talked with his parents about how stealing was bad and that you could go to jail. All those words, in John's mind, were all funny words. He didn't care if he went to jail, he didn't care if it was bad. All he wanted to do was to have some fun. So... He began stealing again. This time, to not get caught, he developed tactics. He wrote down specific times when a guard or cashier went off duty. He kept track of his victims and knew when to strike. This made him smarter than the average human being. Though he didn't go to school, he was self-taught with books he stole from the library. He was infamous. Everyone around the world knew who he was and they were scared. Someone at the age of 11 shouldn't know how to rob banks, or break into safes, or learn how to drive a car? Then at the age of 26, we started his own gang of hooligans. They robbed banks, toppled many famous industries, and had their own private drug company that was known world-wide by only the underground. And on that day, at the famous new Titanos Bank, is where it all went down... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first novel and I hope you guys ( the audience ) enjoy it. If you don't find it appealing, do tell me. I will do anything in my skills to up the story, keeping it nice and firm, while making it very interesting for all those alike. If you enjoy it, please do think about leaving reviews, voting, or sharing it to others. I appreciate those who consider reading this novel, and I hope to see you all till the very end. - Author
