NULL System

Piers has died twice. Each death cost him something—fragments of memory, pieces of emotion, shards of his humanity. Now reborn as a three-year-old in a mysterious family deep within the Forbidden Forest, he's fighting a different kind of death: the void corruption consuming him from within. The NULL System tracks his decay. 49% and rising. Every use of his infinite mana pushes him closer to oblivion—but new experiences, genuine emotions, make his broken heart remember how to beat. Armed with milk bottles, necromantic powers, and a family that won't give up on him, Piers begins his strangest life yet. Learning to be human again, one absurd experiment at a time. HEY EVERYONE QUIKE UPDATE!!!!1 So... I deleted everything after Chapter 10. What's going on? I completely rewrote Chapters 1-10 and they're WAY better now—faster pacing, better character work, tighter writing. But that means the old chapters (12+) don't match anymore. The main plot is the same, just executed better. Can I still read the old version? Yeah! If you really want to continue with the old chapters, they're still up on: Royal Road - Scribble Hub BUT—I don't recommend it. Honestly? Just wait for the new chapters here. The old version is slower, the characterization is different, and it'll just confuse you. Trust me, the new stuff is worth waiting for. Soon! I'm rewriting everything to match the quality of the new Chapters 1-10. New chapters will drop regularly as I finish them. Thanks for sticking with me through this! The story's going to be so much better.

Saintess or Sinner: Condemned to the Warlord's Bed

"They say the touch of a Hunter brings death to a Fox. But when his fingers wrap around my throat, all I feel is an agonizing, ruinous desire." Elara is a curse wrapped in a divine shell. Once revered as the Silver Saintess, she is now a shattered Nine-Tailed Fox desperately hunting the Seven Deadly Sins to piece her soul back together. To survive, she must feed on the life essence of the wicked. Her method? Seduction. Her execution? Flawless. Until she breaks into the wrong bedroom. Draven Blackwood is the Warlord of the North, the High Priest of the Hunters, and the ruthless executioner of her kind. He is cold, lethal, and carries a holy power that should burn her to ash. When he catches her straddling his dying general, he raises his silver gun to end her life. But when their skin collides, the impossible happens. Instead of pain, there is a twisted, intoxicating peace. They share a Symbiotic Bond. Her hunger fuels him; his holy fire heals her. Condemned for her sins, Elara expects the dungeon. Instead, she is dragged to the Warlord's private chambers. "You feed on sin, little Fox," Draven whispers, shackling her to his bedpost with a silver collar. "So practice on me. Feed me your pain, and I will show you what true corruption feels like." Caught in a deadly game of dominance and submission, Elara must use her body to survive the Warlord’s obsessive protection while plotting to steal the shards of her soul. But as the fragments return, so do the memories of her past lives... Memories that reveal Draven might not be her savior, but the very man who has murdered her in every lifetime. Will she tame the Warlord, or will she burn in his bed? #EnemiesToLovers #DarkRomance #R18 #Smut #PossessiveWarlord #ForcedProximity #Reincarnation #TouchHerAndYouDie #SymbioticBond

Fragments in the Wall

When humanity faces extinction, what breaks first? our bodies, or our humanity? How much of ourselves are we willing to lose to stay alive? In 2104, The world has already ended, but its consequences haven’t. In the OctaCore: the last of humanity's shelters, resources are limited and the radiation is rising fast. Within two years, the surface will become unlivable. Long before that, the food will run out. The monsters that destroyed the world are still out there, but they’re no longer the worst threat. With the shelters on the brink, the council faces an impossible choice: Cull 80% of the population to preserve the remaining 20%, or Launch a suicidal mission into the wasteland to retrieve a supply shipment that could sustain humanity long enough to rebuild. A small team is chosen for the Hail Mary attempt. Memory-scarred survivors, soldiers who’ve already lost too much, and civilians carrying secrets they’d kill to protect—bound together by the thin hope that something out there might still be worth saving. Outside, they will face the world that once was: a ruined city haunted by monsters, nazis and the aftermath of choices no one wants to admit they made. What to Expect: 1. Morally questionable characters 2. No clear good or evil—only survival 3. Character-driven beginning → escalating high-stakes plot 4. Brutal worldbuilding 5. Mature themes (genocide, moral collapse, societal failure) 6. Gore, violent imagery, disturbing psychological content

Memories Like a Dagger

“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.” — Langston Hughes Whistle remained perched onto his shoulder, black head cocked and its eyes even cockier. Kalani grinned though, despite his disheveled hair. Training against loud noises had been going well, and it wouldn’t be long till they officially moved to the city. Anticipation made his heart fly high. Finally… his family would move to the illustrious Nael, capital of the kingdom of Karst. Yet the world beyond those small routines was far less gentle than the stories suggested. Kingdoms and tribes hid their violence well, their dangers flowing quietly beneath polished surfaces. You didn’t need to dive in to be taken; brushing against it was enough. And so ‘They’ took everything. What remained of him was sealed away, buried where names lost their meaning. Revenge required survival, and survival required obedience. Then she appeared. Not as rescue, and not as hope, but rather as something that didn’t fit. She moved through his world without caution, wings catching air where no fresh wind should exist. Her optimism wasn’t comforting. It was reckless. He told himself to ignore her. Yet he found himself noticing details he had long trained himself not to see: the rhythm of her voice, the way she tilted her head when thinking, and how she flew free like how he used to. He never looked at her for long. “This changes nothing,” he would murmur, though the words rang increasingly hollow. His emerald eyes lingered a second too late, following the outline of wings he knew he should not reach for. Objective first. Always. And yet, some costs are harder to measure than others. … Update Schedule: 2 chapters every month Cover found on Pinterest; artist unknown ;~;

The Court of Silken Chains

In an empire where silence is law and beauty is political property, gifted women are claimed as sacred “Relics” — ceremonial figures believed to anchor the stability of the throne. When Lianhua is publicly seized under the Quiet Mandate, she does not scream. She observes. Trained within the Veiled Court, she learns that Relics are not honored — they are contained. Draped in silk, worshiped in ritual, but stripped of autonomy, these women serve as symbolic vessels through which the empire binds faith, fear, and obedience. Yet Lianhua quickly realizes something others do not: The empire does not draw strength from the Relics. It depends on them. Assigned four elite enforcers — known as the Black Hands — she begins her quiet rebellion not with blades, but with study. She memorizes doctrine. She deciphers ceremonial language. She watches the fractures in the men assigned to guard her. The Loyalist believes order prevents chaos. The Blade believes strength justifies control. The Scholar believes history defines truth. The Silent One believes nothing at all. Slowly, carefully, Lianhua begins altering small ritual phrases during sacred ceremonies. A word here. A pause there. A symbolic gesture that shifts meaning without breaking law. The people begin whispering. As noble factions compete for influence, the Emperor himself notices her growing impact. Threatened yet intrigued, he offers her a position closer to power — one that could secure her survival at the cost of her autonomy. But Lianhua has already discovered the empire’s most guarded secret: Relics are not symbols of control. They are emotional anchors. If one falls publicly, unrest spreads like fire. If one defies expectation, belief begins to crack. The throne is not protected by armies. It is protected by narrative. And she has learned how to rewrite it. As tensions rise, the Black Hands begin to fracture under the weight of their loyalty. Alliances shift. Rituals become battlegrounds. Love grows in spaces where obedience once lived. When the empire attempts to silence her permanently, it faces an unexpected truth: punishing her may collapse the very belief system that sustains the throne. In a final ceremonial confrontation mirroring the day she was claimed, Lianhua steps forward not as property — but as ideological power. The empire must choose: Destroy her and risk chaos. Or change. The Court of Silken Chains is a dark historical fantasy about ownership, belief, and the quiet, devastating strength of a woman who learns that true rebellion begins in language, not war.
