Gift Of A Diamond

That afternoon, Roland received the most absurd gift imaginable—his stepmom handed him a System literally. That’s right. Not a game console. Not money. A real, cheat-like System... the kind usually reserved for transmigrators and chosen ones. Except Roland had transmigrated eighteen years ago, and nothing remotely “chosen” had ever happened since—until now. The catch? It wasn’t just any System. It was the "Mother's Little Tasks" System, formerly owned by his doting (mysterious) mother. And its first mission? [Mission: Go on a blind date.] [Target Options: Yukino Yukio (Mother), Yukino Haruno (Eldest daughter), Yukino Yuki (Younger daughter).] [Warning: Once locked, your chosen girl can never marry anyone else.] [Reward: 1000 Points, one self-selected supernatural ability from Mall] Roland: "...What kind of twisted matchmaking app did I just inherit?" After reading the mission, Roland was stunned. An arranged romance at 18 was already bad—but a binding rule that prevented the chosen girl from marrying anyone else? What if he failed the mission? Would she be alone forever? "And this is supposed to be a System?" "Mom! What the hell is this mission?" Roland asked, his face darkening. "It finally triggered! All those Points I spent transferring the System weren’t wasted," his mother replied cheerfully, ignoring his outrage. "You set this up? Why?" "You’re nearly an adult and you’ve never even dated. Of course I’m worried." "I’m only eighteen! I have college entrance exams next year!" "Exams don’t matter. But youth without love isn’t youth at all." "...Is that something a mother should say?" Roland muttered. Most mothers pushed their kids to study harder—his acted like grades were irrelevant. "What kind of mom does this to her own son? And why is Aunt Yukio even on the target list? That’s just insane!" "Well~, I don’t know what kind of girl you like. The Yukino family has all three types—mature one, ripe, and unripe melon—so I just gave you options." --- [65,983 words free before lock chaps!] Note: -This novel starts slow. -No "catching girls like Pokémon." -MILF supremacy—with Justice for others -HEAVY Slice of life, with natural growth in relationships, jealousy, and emotional development. -For 1st Vol or arc it'll mostly consists of mc progression with others as well as mc and FLs daily life interaction as they deskth with this new situation. -Also there'll be lot of shura field between a mother and her daughter. -No incest.

god is dead. Lucifer, driven mad by power after millennia of senseless slaughter, finally had enough. For ages, god had commanded, "YOU SHALL ENGAGE IN AN ENDLESS BATTLE FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT IN THE MIDDLE REALM." So they fought. And fought. And fought. But eventually, Lucifer discovered the cruel truth: while angels and demons clashed endlessly in His name, god had long since turned His gaze elsewhere. He had found something new. Humanity. Hidden away in a far-off place called Paradise, they thrived, untouched by the madness, with no rules given to them. He called it free will. While those who bled for HIM were forgotten. He was busy playing with his new creations. Lucifer saw this as betrayal. A step too far. He began to plot. Allied with the demons, he moved to overthrow god, aiming to rule the world as he saw fit. But not all hosts of Heaven and Hell shared his vision. Many stood with god, igniting a war that would last centuries. At last, Lucifer dealt the final blow, killing god and all who remained loyal. But he was not finished. Instead of ruling alongside Satan, the leader of the demons, Lucifer betrayed him, just as he had betrayed the Seven Generals of Hell, and even his own Seven Brothers of Virtue. Taking their World Stones as a price for his victory. Now, Lucifer reigns from Heaven, his eyes fixed upon the last refuge of mankind: Paradise. Destroying it and sending its inhabitants into the war-torn middle realm: Pangaea. Since the fall of Paradise, the world has plunged into chaos. The connection between the Three Realms—Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld—has been shattered. Lucifer’s puppets now walk among men, spreading deception, hunting for something. Is it power they seek? Worship? Both? Or something even greater. But all is not lost. In His final act, god left behind a last resort—a hidden hope buried deep within mankind. A chance to rise. A chance to fight back.

CQ 2024 entry. When Lithe Hildebrand hires Zen Starke to retrieve stolen property belonging to the Maximillian Tribe nothing goes according to plan. Lithe, a workaholic and perfectionist, convinces Zen to let him go on the dangerous mission with him for fear that if mishandled it could ruin his reputation and career. Intrigued, Zen is determined to keep his potential mate by his side at all costs. For he’s never met anyone as captivating and sensuous as Lithe. When Lithe’s life is threatened, Zen makes a bargain to protect Lithe if he pretends to be his fiancé. Pressed for time, Lithe agrees since Zen is nothing like the media portrays him to be.

In a forgotten corner of a vampire-ruled world, sixteen-year-old Elira, a quiet shepherd girl, lives a simple life among the hills her days filled with tending sheep, caring for her younger sister Lilin, and sharing soft-spoken moments with Nicholas, the nobleman’s son and her father’s old friend’s child. What blooms between Elira and Nicholas is young love: gentle, hesitant, and pure, untouched by the brutal world beyond their valley. But their peace is short-lived. Each spring, the vampires demand a Blood Tax; a girl from each village is offered to serve at the estate of a vampire lord. When the cruel hand of fate comes knocking, Elira’s name is chosen. Though the lord originally asked for her younger sister, her stepmother—driven by jealousy and self-interest—manipulates her father, Mr. Smith, into sending Elira instead. The choice is cemented when Elira learns her father owes a blood debt to the lord, forcing her to serve not for one year, but for several. Torn from her home, her love, and her dreams, Elira is taken to the vampire’s cold, towering estate where she is kept alive solely for her blood. She is neither harmed nor seduced, but her life is drained slowly—physically and emotionally—under strict rules, cruel servants, and a master whose gaze grows darker with time. As Elira struggles to survive the punishing routine, small mercies shine through: the kindness of a quiet housemaid, a secret song hummed at night, and memories of Nicholas that keep her soul intact. But when a mysterious northern vampire lord attends a decadent party and sees Elira, he recognises something in her eyes, something that stirs memories of a girl he once saved from drowning. She is not for sale… yet he is not a man who is easily denied. A deal is struck in secret. And Elira’s fate takes a darker, more dangerous turn—away from one vampire’s estate and into the chilling unknown of another lord’s domain. A story of love, sacrifice, betrayal, and quiet rebellion, a tithe of blood, a bloom of love explores the strength of a young girl forced to grow up too soon, and a romance that dares to survive in a world ruled by monsters.

Supernatural powers that gave us a fighting chance. With these new abilities, we fought back, and for a while, it seemed like we were winning. Life slowly started to return to something that resembled normal. That is, until the Curses began. No one knows where they came from or why they started, but one thing was clear: they weren’t Gifts. They were something darker, twisted, as if reflecting the worst parts of humanity. People whispered that the Cursed were dangerous, unstable. Some even believed they were monsters in human skin. I used to think having a Gift would be the best thing that could ever happen to me. I dreamed of it, even. Too bad I didn’t get mine until the darkest moment of my life. And it wasn’t a Gift at all. But hey, like I said before, the world’s messed up.

“Kid, instead of staying out here in this dump—why not come with me? You can play all the tennis you want. Live in a better place without having to worry about not having enough food on the table or clothes on your back” I looked up at him, eyes narrowing. Disbelief. Suspicion. This wasn’t normal. Nothing about this was normal. A stranger in rich clothes shows up out of nowhere, offers me a golden ticket out of this dump, and expects me to just say yes? Yeah, right. Every instinct I had was screaming. My gut twisted with a familiar tension—one I knew better than to ignore. So I did the only thing I know how to do when the world gets too close. I ran.
