The King of Hell was demoted for being too compassionate. He went to Ksitigarbha — 地藏菩薩 — for guidance. Ksitigarbha said: you have judged humanity for ten thousand years from a throne. You have never lived a human day. You say they are worth saving. Go. Prove it. He drank Meng Po's soup — 孟婆湯 — and forgot everything. Ksitigarbha watched him disappear. Then — very slowly — smiled to himself. Hell difficulty. You are the King of Hell. Hell difficulty should not be a problem for you. Right? He was reborn as Zheng Wen De — 正問德 — Righteous Questioning of Virtue. His legal Indonesian name is Suwandi. He is fifty years old. Chinese. Living in Indonesia — the world's largest Muslim majority country. Let us find out how Yanluo Wang mitigates his life with nothing left.

He died during closing arguments. The jury never heard his final words. The courtroom moved on. He didn't. Now Chen Lu practices law for the dead. His first client? A woman convicted of murder. She died in prison. She didn't do it. The real killer is still alive. Still free. Still living in the apartment where her husband died. There's only one problem. Chen Lu can't touch evidence. He can't speak to the living. He can't even pick up the phone that could prove her innocence. He needs someone who can see him. Someone who can help. He finds her in a funeral home. She's not happy about it. A supernatural legal drama. A lawyer who never stopped working. A truth the living refused to see.

Before heaven, there was no heaven. Before earth, there was no earth. Before all things, there was Wuji - 無極. This is not a story. This is a record. A record of what existed before form, before name, before distinction. A record of how stillness became movement, how movement became division, and how division became the ten thousand things. Gods. Demons. Judges of hell. Kings of heaven. Creatures of mountain and sea. All are recorded here. Not as legend. Not as interpretation. But as they were written. This text gathers the oldest surviving accounts of ancient Chinese cosmology, mythology, and underworld law - and retells them in the form they were meant to be remembered: Flat. Direct. Unexplained. The way records are meant to be kept. Read it carefully. Because what is recorded here is not separate from you. All things come from Wuji. All things return to Wuji. You are included. This record continues alongside the narrative of Hell Difficulty : The Reincarnation of Yanluo Wang

Kazuki has always lived at a distance from the world. Ever since he was young, he’s been able to see something no one else can — a countdown above every person’s head, ticking down the exact time they have left. Years. Days. Minutes. It never stops. So he stopped looking. With blurred lenses and lowered eyes, he built a quiet life where nothing could reach him. Until the day Hikari Tachibana transfers into his class. Bright, kind, and impossible to ignore, she walks straight into his world… and breaks the one rule he’s lived by. Because above her head— there are only 100 days left. Now, no matter how hard he tries to look away, he can’t. And for the first time, Kazuki is faced with a choice: Stay distant… or get close to someone he knows he’s going to lose.

Xiaojun, a six-year-old boy living in extreme poverty, is forced to steal to survive with his younger sister, Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei, who is still innocent and full of hope, becomes Xiaojun's only reason for persevering—even though the world around them continues to teach that violence is the only language understood. Poverty, cruelty, and strangeness are not the beginning of this world. They are the work of humans for humans. ———— Here's a note from the author. I want to apologize if chapters 1-2 aren't very good, but please continue reading because the rest is good, I hope. Heheheh I hope you all like my work. Love you all

A century of waiting. A second life wasted. And then... the pings started. I woke up as the grandson of a powerful Patriarch. Classic transmigration, right? I waited for the trope to hit. Is there a grandpa in my ring? No. An ancient pagoda in my soul? Empty. A legendary hidden physique? Just a backache. Twenty years passed. Then fifty. Then eighty. By the time I hit a hundred, I accepted my fate: I wasn't the protagonist. I was just a background character living a quiet life with my loyal maid, waiting for the reaper. Then, at 113 years old, the Heavens finally remembered my address. “Ding! Bliss Palace Lord System binding...!” “Ding! Myriad Worlds Auction House binding...!” “Ding! Immortal Clan System binding...!” “Ancient Poison Star God Academy binding...!" "Demon Sealer Tower binding...!” It took over a century, but my cheats finally arrived—and they brought company. I didn’t get a golden finger but golden hands! A shame I could only choose a golden finger or two to keep. Still! Stepping onto the Immortal Dao as a centenarian should be impossible, but with two high-grade systems bickering in my head, "impossible" is just a suggestion. My golden years were looking bright—until a silver-haired Demon appeared on my doorstep with a marriage proposal, no, marriage notice: “Follow me back to the Black Lotus Secret Realm. You’re marrying my sister, the Empress. And don’t bother packing; whatever you desire shall be given to you.” Wait, I just started my cultivation! Can’t a retired old man enjoy his overpowered systems in peace?! Hey, why’d you stuff me in a sack?! What to Expect: • A Quality Harem: No "Pokémon collecting" here. A tight-knit group of 4 unique, powerful, and non-cliché waifus with actual personalities. • System Banter: The systems aren't just menus; they are bickering characters with their own agendas. • Action-Packed: From running a trans-dimensional Auction House to being the "Trophy Husband" caught in a Human-Demon world war. • The "Bro" Dynamic: Featuring Mu Bingchan—the ultimate rival and female sworn brother who stays a brother from Chapter 1 to the end. Updates: 1 Chapter/Day. Projected Length: 300 – 500 Chapters. Plan to Apply for Novel Title change to "My Twin Sugar Mommies and Cheats are 100 Years Late!"

They called it the Night of Stabilization. For Ren, it was the night the world turned to ash. ​The Morn Clan were the undisputed kings of the bloodline world,the only family to ever wield the Two Crowns: a supreme eye and a supreme physique. But pride is a heavy target. Ten years ago, the four Lesser Clans and the Council of Arbiters didn’t declare war. They used poison. They used shadows. They turned a sacred ceremony into a slaughterhouse. ​Now, the world has forgotten the color of Morn blood. ​Ren has spent a decade on a frozen peak, breaking his body to mend his soul. He has no name. He has no status. He has only a set of violet eyes that see through lies and a heart that stopped feeling warmth the moment the Great Hall burned. The Successors of the four clans are celebrated as geniuses. They play at power while drinking wine in their ivory towers. They don't know that they disgraced commoner walking toward their gates is a ghost seeking a debt that can only be paid in bone. ​The hunt begins at the roots. By the time he reaches the throat, they’ll wish they had finished the job. If you are impatient and dislike complex storylines with critical thinking characters,this book isn't for you

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.

## SYNOPSIS They called Jian Yu the Eagle's Pride. The most gifted sword disciple in a generation. At nineteen, he could do things that seniors twice his age had never managed. Every master in Eagle Sect knew his name. Every rival feared his blade. In one night, he lost everything. His cultivation crippled. His mentor dead. His name dragged through mud he didn't make. Cast out of the only home he had ever known — betrayed by the one person he trusted with his life. Three days after the betrayal, bleeding and alone at the base of Eagle Cliffs, a rusted sword finds him in the dirt. Not because of his bloodline. Not because destiny chose him. Because the sword has been waiting one hundred and forty years for someone who knows exactly what it costs to lose everything — and still decides to stand back up. The Tianxia Realm has four great sects and five legendary blades. Jian Yu has no sect. No cultivation. No allies. He has a cracked dantian, a sword nobody wanted, and three words from a dead man. *"Don't waste it."* He doesn't plan to. ---

"I woke up inside a corpse that died in Chapter 7. Brain-dead by page 12—just disposable lore for the real hero. But the vessel opened its eyes, and I drew Death (XIII)." His [Cursed Mouth] speaks structural truths: "Your leg will bleed tomorrow." They called it a devil's curse when the mother screamed. He calls it pattern recognition. Now he wields the Rumoured Deck—22 Major Arcana, 22 ghost contracts. Each secret housed makes him harder to delete. He calculates death with a deck of ghosts. The only question is whether he collapses the panel borders first—or the plot swallows him whole.

Immortality. It feels like a word drawn from the edge of a dying man’s imagination. Does it even exist, or is it something people speak of in passing, half believed and half dismissed? Many say it is nothing more than a myth. Others claim chasing it is the obsession of fools. Longevity? A few extra centuries, if one is lucky. But true immortality? That belongs to stories, not reality. Jiang Chen has heard it all. But his answer is simple. What is a man’s insanity? It is to walk a road knowing it may lead nowhere, and still refuse to turn back. To make an enemy of the world, to be hailed as a genius and feared as a demon. To become heartless and cruel, unmoved by the fleeting pleasures of life. To stand apart from the mundane, untouched and unbound by the shackles of regret. To dare. To believe. To struggle. Tell me, does it make sense? Do you understand his heart? Truth be told, Jiang Chen cares not for your understanding. From an unnoticed outer sect disciple to a demonic figure who shakes four continents, this is the story of a man who gave his heart to immortality. ------ Tags: #Selfish Protagonist #No Romance #Pursuit of immortality #Evil Protagonist

Ye Qianning becomes a six-year-old little dumpling. Not only does she possess dual-system special abilities, she also has four fathers. “Daddy!” The little dumpling cries tearfully, leaving the four prominent, dashing figures of the imperial capital utterly flustered. The Scholar-Official Daddy: “Little girl, you can't just claim anyone as your father. Hurry up and go back where you came from.” The Foxy Daddy: “If I had a daughter, she would surely be the greatest beauty in the world. How could she be as chubby as a ball!” The Businessman Daddy: “The Gu family hasn't produced a daughter for three generations. How could she possibly be a child of my Gu family?” The General Daddy, however, is excited: “Hahaha, I was fated to have no children, and heaven suddenly gave me a little meat bun. Come on, daughter, let's go home with Daddy!” A little girl suddenly appears in the General's residence, causing several influential figures of the capital to lurk by the wall every day. Eventually, they just stop leaving, all declaring that they will only leave when their own daughter comes home with them. The General Daddy roars angrily: “Why didn't you acknowledge her back then? Now, if anyone dares to snatch my daughter from me, I'll fight them to the death.” Beside them, a prim and proper little boy mutters under his breath with his hands behind his back: “When she grows up, she is going to marry me and be my wife.” Hearing this, the four prominent fathers' eyes blaze with fire, looking extremely dangerous. The little dumpling watches the drama that unfolds daily and facepalms in resignation: “She just wants to cultivate her spatial dimension to live a long life... Matters of love and romance, stay away.”
