In a remote, snowbound village, a battered boy lay half-buried in the cold, his body broken and surrounded by corpses in the aftermath of a demon’s brutal feast. As consciousness faded, a faint fragrance of wisteria drifted through the air, unnatural yet comforting. Through his blurred vision, a butterfly seemed to descend beside him… but it was no insect. It was a girl. With gentle grace and captivating violet eyes, Shinobu Kocho knelt beside him, her presence calm amidst the carnage. “Come with me,” she said softly. Her voice, warm and soothing, pierced through the boy’s despair like sunlight breaking through winter clouds. From that moment, his fate changed.

[A depressed boy clings to a game and its doomed action protagonist for his life until the game's world becomes reality and he embarks a determined journey to change protagonist's ending that the boy strongly rejects.] Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing. *The entire story is completed. New chapter will be published regularly.*

Centuries of human progress have solved every mystery—every disease cured, every question answered—yet peace has never been more distant.

Power built the Murad empire. Blood secured it. Betrayal nearly destroyed it. Across India, New York, and beyond, Sohan Kadeon Murad reigns as one of the most feared men in the underworld. CEO of eight global empires and supreme leader of the Obsidian Triad, he rules with calculated brutality. His enemies vanish. His name commands silence. Yet even the darkest king had a weakness. His wife, Riyana. And their only daughter— Lilith Mahira Baneva. Born as the final heir. The true owner of everything. When greed consumes Sohan’s own cousins, a carefully orchestrated attack shatters the Murad family. A truck collision meant to eliminate Riyana and six-year-old Lilith leaves Riyana missing and presumed dead. Lilith survives—but her mind does not. Sohan unleashes hell on those responsible, wiping out bloodlines in a storm of vengeance before being imprisoned for ten years. His final command to his eight sons: No war among yourselves. Protect your sister. Keep her away from the darkness. While the brothers rise into powerful men—ruthless, disciplined, and loyal—Lilith grows up in a mental asylum, her brilliant mind trapped in the innocence of a child. Unknown to her brothers, someone close ensures she never heals, poisoning her recovery with damaging medication to keep her fragile… and unfit to rule. At sixteen, she returns home. Beautiful. Quiet. Mischievous. Broken. The empire legally belongs to her—but the world sees only a shattered girl holding pieces of herself together. Then comes the man powerful enough to rival the Murads. The feared leader of The Dominion Apex—half Russian, half American, Indian by blood. A king among kings. Cold. Strategic. Merciless. During a high-stakes alliance meeting, a single moment changes everything. He sees Lilith Mahira Baneva. And instead of weakness, he sees something no one else dares to look for. He takes her. What begins as possession slowly shifts into something far more dangerous—an obsession neither of them expected. In her silence, he finds calm. In his darkness, she finds protection. But beneath the fragile surface of the shattered heiress lies something waiting. Healing. Memory. Power. Will Lilith Mahira Baneva rise to reclaim the empire written in her blood? Will the ruthless king fall for the girl the world underestimated? Or will secrets, betrayal, and war tear apart what remains of the Murad legacy? In a world ruled by monsters, the most dangerous throne belongs to a broken queen.

One Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation The so-called "Twin Electro Archons" are nothing more than a tired tale spun by a dying Shogun. The so-called "Free-Spirited Bard" is merely the wind taking the form of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place. The so-called "Immortal Zombie Qiqi" is simply an old man's desperate plea on the verge of death—one that a god happened to hear. Li Mo had been reincarnated a hundred times into the world of Genshin Impact. One more lifetime—one final mission—and he would be granted ten wishes. In his hundredth life, he became a storyteller in Liyue. "On that day, the Thunder Demon split his own heart in two, saving his dying sisters." "On that day, the wind took the shape of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place." "On that day, an old man, facing the dying herb-gathering girl, forcibly wielded the power of his own wish, granting Qiqi a glimmer of hope." The emotion ran deep, and the entire audience erupted in applause. The Raiden Shogun, Shenhe, Qiqi… even the Tsaritsa herself was moved to tears. Hu Tao's eyes glistened as she asked, "Storyteller… is that boy really dead?" --- Raw: 原神：璃月港说书，胡桃泪目 Author: 万字更新
