In a world where survival is dictated by power, chosen youths are dragged into a brutal trial where monsters roam and death is constant. Among them is Jade—a boy with an unusual affinity for blood and a mind sharpened by deception and instinct. From the moment he steps into the trial, Jade realizes one truth: strength is not given—it is taken. Armed with a mysterious system that allows him to absorb fragments from slain creatures, Jade begins his rise. His body evolves. His abilities grow. And his control over blood, ice, and living vines turns him into something far beyond human. But power comes at a cost. As alliances form and shatter, Jade crosses paths with a deadly assassin known as Silent Slayer—a man who moves through shadows and kills without hesitation. What begins as a clash between two monsters slowly turns into an uneasy alliance when a greater truth emerges: The trial is not just about survival. It is a prison. Hidden deep within ancient ruins lies a secret that binds all participants—a force tied to forgotten gods, rebirth, and a fate that cannot be escaped. And at the center of it all… Is Jade. As his power grows, so does the fear around him. Some call him a savior. Others call him a monster. But one title begins to echo across the trial: Blood Slayer. To escape, Jade must conquer the shadowed world, face ancient guardians, and uncover the truth behind the Eight Gods. Because in this world… Only one can inherit their power.

Abigail’s only crime in life was being born as the mute daughter of the deceptive maid, who drugged her boss and got pregnant for him… or so she thought. All her life she had to serve her stepsister, Genevieve, attending to her every whim. While Genevieve used every opportunity she got to make Abigail’s life hell, even to the point of seducing Abigail’s boyfriend. On the night she resumes college, Abigail crosses path with Jamal Jonas, a heartbroken elusive billionaire, who leaves behind a stuffed animal that belonged to his first love. Abigail keeps the stuffed animal, which stirs her long lost memories. Five years later, Jamal shows up again, but this time as Genevieve's new live-in driver. Working for Genevieve quickly places him near the supposedly mute and intelligent Abigail who he doesn’t immediately recognize, and soon enough, Jamal finds himself pulled in by Abigail's charms. Jamal quickly realizes there is more to her than meets the eye, and there might be more connecting Abigail to his first love than Genevieve.

“Xed is Xed, Xed is not Xed, yet Xed is Xed again! Who speaks? Xed speaks! Who listens? Xed listens! Who reads? Xed reads, for thou art Xed, unless thou art not, but even so, Xed knows! Xed was before, Xed is now, Xed shall be after, yet Xed is not bound to before, nor now, nor after — for Xed is Xed! Say ‘Xed’ thrice, and thou hast said nothing; say ‘Xed’ once, and thou hast said all! Xed within Xed, without Xed, through Xed, beyond Xed! Is Xed a name, a word, a whisper, a wheel? Xed laughs, for Xed is laughter! Xed weeps, for Xed is tears! Xed asks, ‘Who art thou?’ and Xed answers, ‘Thou art thou, unless thou art Xed!’ Be warned, O reader, for the Sayings of Xed are the Speakings of Xed, and the Speakings of Xed are the Makings of Xed, and the Makings of Xed are the Breakings of Xed, yet all return unto Xed! Speak not lightly, read not lightly, for each word of Xed is a thousand Xeds, and each thousand is but one, and the one is the none, and the none is the all — Xed! Xed! Xed!”

✓ MASSIVE RELEASE ON THE LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH.✓ BLURB: “We are sorry Maria, we never meant to hurt you. Come back to us!" They all thundered. But it was too late, I was determined to make them Pay. *** I am Maria Moon, casted out of my Pack at the age of eighteen. All because of a tradition— one that states, that which ever family the Alpha's mate comes from, any other female wolf of same status is cast out. But it all felt wrong, It wasn't supposed to be me but her— my step sister— Patricia Moon. “I, Darren Copper, Alpha of the Frost moon pack, hereby declare that Maria Moon is no longer a member of this pack!” I pleaded for them to see the truth but no one cared, they were all blinded by their love for her. I became a rogue, wandered about for days and was unfortunate to attacked by the older rogues. And even more unfortunate to be saved by the quadruplet Alpha's, my Pack rival Alpha's. *** “Isn't she the Beta's daughter of Frost moon pack?" Damien growled as he turned to his brothers. “Definitely, she looks the same even after five years!" Adrien replied as he squatted, cupping my chin harshly on his palm. “She is definitely a spy, let's kill her!" Davian roared, stretching his claws, his stance ready to slaughter. “Don't Davian!" Aidan the oldest amongst the quadruplet echoed, “That’s all the more reason we should keep her close, letting her die is to easy.” He turned to the guards beside him, “Take her to the Pack, she is our Personal maid." Adrien chuckled lightly, a sly smirk appearing across his lips. “Nice idea Aidan. We would make her suffer!" CONTENT WARNING.

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’.

How does one become the strongest shinobi... Train harder? Master powerful jutsu? Awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan? A certain Uchiha has a different answer. 1. The Basic Principle of Fire Release Fire Release transforms chakra into high-temperature flames through the nature transformation of Fire. Gōenji summarizes its core relationship as: E = C × (T + K) E — Fire Energy C — Chakra Quantity T — Efficiency of Fire Nature Transformation K — Ambient Temperature Correction But understanding the basics is only the beginning. 2. High-Temperature Compression If chakra can be compressed to its limits, the resulting flames can achieve vastly greater density and destructive power. P = (C × T) / V P — Flame Pressure C — Chakra Quantity T — Efficiency of Fire Nature Transformation V — Flame Volume The smaller the volume, the greater the pressure. And greater pressure means greater penetration, greater destructive power, and potentially... Plasma. 3. Fire Release Form Transformation Fire Release isn't limited to simply producing bigger flames. The shape, density, flow, and method of release can all be manipulated. Gōenji's model is simple: F = C × T × S F — Flame Form C — Chakra Quantity T — Efficiency of Fire Nature Transformation S — Shape Control With sufficient understanding of chakra flow and shape manipulation, even an ordinary technique like Great Fireball Jutsu can be transformed into something completely different. "Who says only someone with the Mangekyō Sharingan can reach Kage-level combat power?" - Koenji Certified Uchiha and other villages: "...Can you please talk like a normal human being?".At this rate, we're going to forget you're an Uchiha." *** This is a fantranslation.
