"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

Hayase Akio was a kid that, no matter what his parents did, simply couldn’t bring himself to feel any kind of gratitude or love towards them. After a pitiful journey of self loathing and isolation, he ended up indulging in fictional stories to distract himself from it, which only led to him starting to dream… of getting reincarnated, in a fantasy world.  After a series of unfortunate events and death, he reincarnated as Cael Ashford, the first son of a seemingly normal countryside family. His dream was finally about to unfold right before his eyes, potentially making up for the misfortune he was faced with in his previous one… or so he thought.

[WARNING: EXPLICIT MATURE CONTENT] I thought I was selling my time. Turns out I sold my soul for eighty-five thousand dollars and a downtown view. I swore it was temporary. One year of overtime, of his hands in my hair, his rules on my skin, his voice turning haram into a moan. One year, then freedom. But every time he bends me over his desk after hours, every time he calls me “good girl” and I come apart on command, I sink deeper. The devil owns me. And I’m terrified I never want to be saved.

Jin Yeong lived an ordinary life. He worked an ordinary job, went home to an ordinary apartment, and was the kind of man nobody ever remembered. That all changed the day the sky cracked open over Seoul. A voice echoed across the world, mocking humanity's weakness.

But in a world where survival meant fighting with whatever was within reach, Jin soon discovered that his skill held far more than anyone expected.

Shen Zhu never knew tenderness. He knew the whip before words, poison before hunger, and death before he understood what life meant. Behind every blow and wound, eyes watched him with a love that looked nothing like mercy, and hands pushed him to fall so they could teach him how to rise. He grew up in a world that gives nothing for free, where strength is measured in scars, friendship is built upon the corpses of beasts, and fate smiles mockingly at those who try to escape it.

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life.

Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

The Dracula Empire is the most powerful criminal empire in the world, ruling the underworld through three branches stretching across China, South Korea, and Thailand. Unlike every other mafia syndicate, its throne belongs to one family—the women of the Ling bloodline. Among them stands Ling Zhao. Feared across continents as the God of Death, she is a woman whose name alone can bring nations and criminal empires to their knees. Wherever she wages war, rivers of blood follow, and no enemy is ever left alive. To challenge Ling Zhao is to sign your own death warrant. After the brutal murder of her parents, Ling Zhao dedicates her life to protecting the only family she has left—her cousin—and to preserving the empire built by generations of the Ling family. Then Lao Zhan appears. One reckless act turns him into Ling Zhao's greatest enemy, igniting a war between two hearts that should never have crossed paths. But hatred slowly gives way to an irresistible attraction, forcing them to choose between love and loyalty. Yet peace is an illusion. Hidden conspiracies, betrayals from within, and enemies waiting in the shadows threaten to destroy everything Ling Zhao has fought to protect. As the empire descends into chaos, she must decide whether love is worth risking the throne—or whether the God of Death was never meant to have a happy ending. In an empire where power is inherited through blood, betrayal is unforgivable, and mercy is weakness... only one question remains. Can the deadliest woman in the world protect both her empire and the man destined to become her greatest weakness?
