Kao Dao Ji is a mighty genius of the Kao Clan. A proud featherman born after the era of Spectral Soul, burning with ambition and the desire to take revenge on humanity! His journey begins with his ascension to immortality. Wait. Why is his Tribulation so strong? Oh. ... In an unexpected turn of events, a human from earth takes over, just the moment he dies. And? He becomes the Land Spirit. With such great powers that would have made him god back on earth, yet shackled in the same position, with no possibility of advancement, and trapped as an unfavored species. Just how will he be able to thrive? ... With the synopsis cleared: This is going to be a low-paced story, with not 'cheats' (well, there will be some things, that may qualify as such. But no, System, no Rank 9 Gu from the beginning or anything like that.) I also have no intention of writing romance, or at least not of the MC. Also, as stated before the story will begin after the era of Spectral Soul. So, do not expect to see Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan, etcetera. Still, while most of the characters are OC, I will try my best to give them relevance, perhaps too much. Anyway, I do not intend to profit from this, and I write this purely for fun, so I am not sure how consistently I will be able to put chapters, but I'll try to at least put one every 2 weeks. But that is the bare minimum, I intend to be a bit more consistent.

Long before the memory of kingdoms, the world ended. A nameless war burned the earth until nothing living remained. When life returned, it did so without remembrance, building new orders atop the ruins of an extinction it could no longer name. In the present age, those orders are failing. As trade collapses and unrest spreads, a ruling council quietly removes a king in the name of stability. There is no trial, no spectacle, no public reckoning. Records are altered. Knowledge is destroyed. Order returns just enough for people to accept the change. Those caught inside the transition are not heroes. A scholar dies so his work can be erased. A king is executed to prevent disorder. His daughter leaves not to rebel, but to avoid being decided for. Others learn that distance, loyalty, and silence offer no protection when power requires removal. The Quiet Blade is a dark fantasy of institutional violence and controlled truth, where systems outlive people, authority functions without malice, and survival carries no promise of meaning. In a world that no longer remembers its own end, power does not rage or gloat. It works quietly.

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

Blaine was the one person I trusted. The one person who saw me as more than the half-breed the werewolves hated. And still… the night the werewolves dragged me away, it was his voice that gave me up. A hybrid’s life is already a quiet kind of death, but being sold to Alpha Hades was something else entirely. He needed my essence to break the curse eating him alive, and I was supposed to be nothing more than the cure. But from the moment our eyes met, something shifted. Something inside him… and something inside me. He’d never seen me before… yet he looked at me as if he had. And every time he came close, memories I’d spent years trying to bury clawed their way back. Memories of my parents’ blood, the fire, the night everything ended. I told myself to fear him. I told myself he was just another monster. But the instinct between us didn’t care what I wanted. He felt it, too. The pull. The recognition. The hesitation no cursed Alpha should have. And then he said it. The words that ruined the man he thought he was and shattered what was left of my world: “You’re my mate.” The bond should have saved us. Instead, it destroyed everything — his lover, his pack, and the fragile trust I was barely learning to give. War followed. But he was tangled in the worst memory of my life. The blood on his hands… the night my parents died… everything I thought I knew was only half the story. Hades wasn’t the monster I remembered. But he wasn’t innocent either. Loving him meant choosing between the life I finally built, and the bond neither of us could outrun.

Everyone at K High University called Vaibhav a loser. They thought he was weak. They thought he was scared. They thought he was nothing special. They were wrong. Vaibhav wasn’t restraining himself because he was weak— he restrained himself because he was stronger and more talented than everyone around him.

And erased from history itself. To survive his journey across the Universe—and the enemies who will soon hunt him—Vaibhav must break every limit he once placed on himself.
