As strange clients begin to appear at his door—each more dangerous than the last—Lucien realizes one terrifying truth: This world is not normal. It never was. But for him? Dealing with cursed objects… Performing exorcisms… And walking the line between life and death— Is just part of running a shop.

I only wish to marry you in this life.” “Ding!” You have successfully triggered a 3-star mission! to help Nalan Yanran go to the Xiao family to end the engagement! ” “Wait a minute, this script isn’t right. Can’t we just not do it?” Mu Yu felt like crying. “Either do it or die! ” The System pulled out a 10m long broadsword. “Stop, I can’t do it…” Mu Yu submitted. @@@@@@@@@@@@@ I'm just re-posting this novel from babel novel.

Once upon a time there was a cute kitten who became a hero when he decided to offer his belly as heaven to the abused and despised souls of millions of mice in the world. But since there is a great hero, there must be an illustrious villain who stands up to him: Lucifer. I am the cute kitten and I am doomed to be the babysitter of a demon in love ... Lucifer's inescapable orders. I also have to channel confused souls, in the midst of their stagnant rebellion, towards the vile temptation to be the protagonists of a romance sponsored by Satan. Reading and connecting with a character with personality can lead you to live his life between the pages ...Would you dare to feel the fire of the demon as if it were magic? Of course, in order to attract you to this game of seduction I must put the cards on the table: A girl with hellishly adolescent whips. Beats that led her to a promise that would condemn her to cross her path with that of a demon too handsome to see past her blue eyes. Now that same demon does not know if heaven was worth his betrayal of Lucifer ... now he is without heaven and without the melodies of the heart of his sweet girl. "Sweet girl of mine ... mine ... only mine" And it must continue like this, because otherwise, the diary of a girl's fantastic heart will be incomplete. ... or not? Maybe the sexy side of magic speaks for all of our demons.

Magic is a crime punishable by death. The Divine Solaran Empire is ruled by the god known as the Sun Father, and its laws are enforced by a ruthless church that hunts heretics without mercy. In the shadows, spirits and mysterious entities roam the streets. While Gods and demons wait in the cosmos beyond the Veil. Luca is just an orphan trying to survive in the slums until a dead mage brands him with a strange mark that opens his eyes to the world of mysteries. The mark is the inheritance of the Emperor of Heresies, a mage feared by even the High Priests of the Church and the Inquisition. Once, Luca's only dream was to escape poverty. Now with the allure of power in front of him, he wants nothing more than to rule the world itself. If the price for power was blood, Luca would drown the world in it. ___ Additional Tags: Magic, Mystery, Demon Summoning, semi-victorian inspired fantasy, Demons, Slow burn, Author's Note: This is a slow book. I suggest reading the first five chapters to get a grasp of where this is going. As you can probably tell, it's not a system or a transmigration. MC is smart, calculating, and competent. If you have patience, this will definitely satisfy you.

[Previous Title: Travesty of 1959 (TO1959)] Ines Lacroix, the Lady of the Witching Hour who was hunted worldwide for decades. Someone like her… No one would believe that she had settled down, and grown into an old wrinkly woman who sold books for a living. From being a low-ranked member in an occult, a personnel under the Archduke, then a Saintess belonging to the Church of the Sun God, to finally having her face plastered everywhere and deemed a sinner. At first, Ines was flabbergasted at the accusations that flew her way one after another. Worst of all, all those whom she once knew believed the damned rumors and the papers—even her closest allies, and her lover, Regis Beaumont. During the pinnacle of her horrid reputation, horrified, Ines watched as the rumors came to life. Starting from mass genocide, arson, crimes against humanity, and dozens more—crimes and actions she had never committed were now tied with her name. But as time flew by, Ines had unknowingly accepted the rumors, and she became the person they made her out to be. “Ines,” Regis mumbled, a distraught look in his eyes, “You’ve changed.” Gently embracing the deformed spirit in her arms, she patted their little heads and smiled at him. “Have I?” — Excerpt: Ines watched as her sweet, beloved lover, Regis, held a blade to her neck. The poor man trembled like a feeble branch, unable to go through with his actions. “Do you hate me?” She softly asked, looking him in the eye. When he didn’t reply, she leaned closer to his blade. A thin red line appeared on her neck, and droplets of blood spilled onto the ground. Regis shook, and the corners of his eyes reddened as he helplessly dropped his blade. “No,” He murmured. A smile slowly crept up Ines’ face. Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall, and she threw herself at him. Muttering incoherent words, she wrapped her arms around him and wept. For a moment, Regis stood still. But, in the face of her tears, he crumbled and hugged her back. “I’m sorry, my love. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “I know.” Ines watched as he defenselessly leaned into her arms, unaware of the looming dangers. Slowly, she raised a small dagger that she had previously hidden in her sleeve and aimed it at his heart. —— [This novel is participating in the 2023 WSA ] Discord: eudine Discord server: https://discord.gg/XKN7tJH88 [ON BREAK TILL OCTOBER 7, 2023!]
