Ezio Machiavelli died trading his life to shield three girls from a knife he couldn’t outrun. When the darkness closed in, a voice answered—the Aeon of Nihility, offering him rebirth in a world of Vikings, witches, and monsters. Reborn as the youngest son of a poor merchant family, Ezio awakens with three gifts: • Super Regeneration — his body mends fast enough to survive training and battle. • The Eyes of Nihility — he sees mana, weakness, and truth in all things. • Lucifer — a sarcastic spirit guide who calls him “kiddo” and never stops whispering. Through a witch’s ritual and a shrine built with his family, Ezio binds a Soulbrand—a living tattoo that summons an Elf of Shadow. With meditation near monster cores, alchemy, and grit, the Machiavellis learn to command their elves, hunt the night, and distill potions that heal—or ruin. Their family becomes a legend whispered in markets and taverns: The House of Shadows. But power never sleeps—and the deeper Ezio walks into the dark, the more the world begins to change around him.

He died saving two girls—and awoke beyond the Red Code Wall. Reborn as the First Blood Elf, he rises from the River of Blood that flows beneath the World Tree. Guided by Ix, the Aeon of Nihility, a phantom jester who bends time and code, he learns to wield Blood Qi and Void Qi, to forge weapons from his veins, and to divide his Astral Soul to study every craft at once. From the floating Lunaris Academy to the crimson empires of alchemy, trade, and war, he builds power, allies, and purpose—until whispers of forgotten Towers reach him: relics that once bound gods and mortals alike. To reach them is to ascend beyond mortality. To master them is to face the Aeon of Destruction himself. This is the journey of Ketsuraku—the Child of the River of Blood. ⸻ Lore Snapshot • Current Focus: Blood Qi cultivation, Astral projection, empire building, and Aeon lore. • Future Arc Seeds: rediscovery of the World Tree’s Towers (each governing a craft). • Tone: dark-epic cultivation with strategy, romance, and world economy elements. ⸻ Tags #Reincarnation #Cultivation #BloodMagic #DarkFantasy #System #Vampire #Alchemy #EmpireBuilding #AstralProjection #WorldTree #AeonLore #MagicAcademy

In a world ruled by immortal sects, divine laws, and heavenly bloodlines, reality itself can be bought, sold, and stolen. Sung Jin Ezio is the only one born outside that system. No cultivation body. No destiny. No place in fate. Thrown into the streets and forgotten by the heavens, Ezio becomes entangled with a forbidden system known as the Red Code — a hidden law that will one day allow reality itself to be traded, manipulated, and rewritten… Behind velvet curtains, shadow markets, and decadent sects like Casanova and Machiavelli, Ezio learns that power is not built with swords… It is built by owning what others believe. Kings fall through whispers. Wars are decided by information. Souls are bought like shares. While Heaven watches and six million fallen angels wait for someone to break the rules, Ezio begins walking a path no cultivator was ever meant to tread — a path where fate, love, power, and existence itself become assets in a growing shadow empire. This is not the story of a hero. This is the birth of a man who will gamble against Heaven itself.

Lumiel Valentine was born under a curse — a child of Nihility whose very heartbeat bends reality. Mocked for his weakness, blamed for his power, he hides behind music and humor… until destiny hands him a violin forged from Red Code and a marriage decree signed by an Emperor. Now he’s trapped between gods, vampires, and the endless expectations of nobles who think blood makes a better contract than love. At the flying city of Celestara, Lumiel studies alchemy, blacksmithing, and astral projection — when he isn’t turning dragons into accountants or arguing with the fox spirit living in his mirrors. Then comes Princess Luminous: one red eye, one blue, a voice that can calm storms, and the terrifying ability to make him care. When blood and code intertwine, the boy once cursed to be forgotten will become something new — a Hybrid Vampire-Elf, the first to wield the music of creation itself.

Red Code: Prince of Nothing In a cyberpunk future ruled by megacorporations and secret societies, assassin Ezio steals a mysterious neural chip known as the Red Code. When the chip kills him, he is reborn into a brutal cultivation world governed by sects, empires, and immortal bloodlines — a world where power is measured not by technology, but by qi, mana, and fate. Reborn as the weakest of six royal brothers, branded the Prince of Nothing, Ezio has no talent, no cultivation, and no allies. Betrayed by the woman he loves and erased by the ruling elites, he should have disappeared. Instead, he is claimed by shadows. Guided by the nihilistic Aeon Ix, haunted by the devil Lucifer, and trained by legends like Ragnar, Casanova, and the assassin-prince Kuro, Ezio walks a forbidden path — Shadow Code Cultivation — blending modern hacking, ancient wuxia, and assassination arts into a power no sect can understand or control. As Ezio builds a shadow empire beneath a glowing cyberpunk metropolis, he creates: a secret stock market fueled by war and cultivation loot a nightclub that steals secrets instead of money a blood dock that turns raids into dividends and an arena that forges assassins into legends But the greatest threat — and temptation — is Luminous, the vampire daughter of the Empress who secretly controls Night City’s markets. Cold, brilliant, and deadly, she offers Ezio protection… at the price of becoming part of her empire. Caught between gods, devils, lovers, and tyrants, Ezio must decide: Will he remain a tool of fate… Or become the shadow that writes the rules?

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

"Soon, System Tearstone Will Break You On The Marble Floor" — System Tearstone Theme Song Centuries ago, a new kind of curse was created. It was named System Tearstone—or simply Crimson Heart. It was made to punish a fallen god. But the curse had no form. Only a red gem floating in dark fog. Until it met a perfectly broken soul—Kirihito Orohana, later known as Wèi Yīlíng. (His curse's nickname is Dark Voice.) The curse roamed for half an eternity, bound to revenge and its own mission: to win the Violet Throne and become a god itself. But cool ice always melts. Will he never fall for anyone and claim the throne? Or will he remove his own existence—by destroying the curse, or by becoming the full Violet Gem once more? Welcome to System Tearstone— where soft beginnings lie, and descent is inevitable… and beautiful. Author's Note: The beginning may feel soft—almost deceptively gentle. Please do not be fooled. System Tearstone is my beloved untamed birdie. It is a story about devotion that scars, about gods who fail, and about choosing to feel—even when feeling hurts. If you choose to read this, you become one of my Tearstones—something fragile, something precious, kept close through both tears and quiet smiles. This is not a game system. It is an emotionally cursed one. Announcement: This book's Version 2 with spin-offs is coming soon! Please do not be mad at your little author for being messy here—this was just the first time. The next one will be better, I promise ♡ It is because this book is alive over the unpolished, messy, past plot, scene by scene without plan while I seriously work on the better ones. So if you are okay to be this patient with all the flaws and timing, you are very welcome here♡. I have never kept the door closed either. If you want more context, check out my other books labored with numbers. those belong to the same world. only Broken lilies is the raw first one. others are new and polished. each story stands alone, but they are all connected. --- Spoiler of Future Spin-Offs (Based on Connections) 1. The Untamed Intensity — A dark past of someone powerful, forgotten. Stands alone without the Tearstone system. Coming soon as a separate book. 2. Shades Of The Exorcist's Smile + For The Four Arms, One Soul — Serializing already. Main is Shades;Four Arms is a real-world Easter egg—you'll know when you read Shades. 3. Black Peacock's Tearstone Cultivation= Main epic on progress. Might come late because everything connects at Black Peacock. 4. CUT-SLEEVE: First & Last — this one also connects to the same world but after Black Peacock but with it's own story. coming soon. 1. Martial God's Midnight Song — a totally new world at the universe. Will also come soon, slowly being build. I know this book is doomed. But you can atleast stay with the hope that others will be 100 times better. I would highly recommend you to read Shades.

After finishing a tragic novel where the villain is betrayed and killed by his own beast husbands, Li Wei does what any reasonable reader would do. He rants about the ending. Then he gets hit by a car. When he opens his eyes again, Li Wei finds himself inside that very novel, reborn as Su Ningyan, the future villain destined to walk a path of madness, war, and blood. Ten years before his fall. Ten years before his death. In the original story, Su Ningyan’s unstable phoenix beast core drives him toward forbidden power, turning him into a feared villain who ultimately dies at the hands of the men he loved most. This time, Li Wei refuses that fate. He will avoid the villian arc. He will heal his beast core. And he will stay far away from the four terrifying beast princes who will one day become his husbands. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. The academy meant to heal him becomes a battlefield of tension, rivalry, and instinctual bonds. The beast princes notice him far too early, and the more Su Ningyan tries to escape the plot, the tighter destiny coils around him. Because in a world ruled by beast bloodlines and ancient bonds, some connections cannot be severed only delayed. And the husbands who once killed him… may not be willing to let him go again. **** Excerpt Su Ningyan didn’t know where he was. At first, he thought he was dreaming. His body felt warm... too warm... and the scent in the air was unfamiliar, sharp and clean, like lightning after rain. He turned onto his side. And froze. A pair of golden dragon eyes stared back at him from inches away. The man was breathtaking. Long black hair spread across silk pillows, sharp features sculpted as if carved from jade. His presence alone pressed down on Su Ningyan’s chest, heavy and suffocating. His face went pale. “What the—” “You’re awake.” The man smiled faintly. Jun Haoxuan. Azure Dragon Clan. Future Beast King. And, according to the book, one of the men who would eventually become his husband. “Did you sleep well?” Jun Haoxuan asked calmly. Su Ningyan’s eye twitched. He was supposed to be avoiding them. So why was he waking up in the dragon prince’s bed?

When Heaven fell, the world was reborn in the ashes of the gods. From the fragments of that divine war came the Cosmic Souls—creation bound to mortal fate.
