.... "The fates will curse you to a life of hell." She stared those loathsome eyes. Her very being screamed from inside. Her hate knew no bounds. And yet...and yet...why was he looking at her like that? Why did he not hate her? Why was there sadness in his eyes? Why? "I'd rather take a million years in hell!" she spat out. "Yes...I did it. I killed your most precious person." She flashed a manic smile. "You'll suffer for the rest of your life...Emperor. And nothing makes me happier..."

*** My health has been very poor this year alongside loosing my mother-in-law and cat so I'm sorry but this will be rewritten and finished when I'm well, I'm doing it all offline in my rare creative moments, hopefully with a more mature touch *** [WARNING: Mature Themes (smut, violence, murder, suicide, domestic violence, etc.)] --------- Waking up naked and alone with a murderer, without a single memory, she relies on System to understand her existence in another person's body. --------- Still don't know if you should read me? Here's a quick breakdown to help you make up your mind if this novel is right for you: This is my own twist on the QuickTransmigration System genre, giving it a more 'spiritual' twist. It explores sensitive themes throughout each arc and I will do my best to give trigger warnings at the start of chapters containing them. It is written in the first person and revolves around a female lead (FL). This is a weak-to-strong novel, she will have heavy flaws and make repeated mistakes and seem generally weak at the start, bear with her as she grows. Romance is a heavy theme within the story that contains a lot of smut, with more than one character. However, there is only one male lead in the end. The story is less about fluffy romance, instead, it's a journey of growth and self-discovery, revolving around the main storyline. Although, each Arc will have its own separate storyline that will have an impact on the main storyline with both new and reoccurring characters (so skipping arcs is not advised). I have currently written the rough drafts for four arcs at the point of writing this: 1. Ghosts & Guns 2. How do you keep a child alive in the Zombie Apocalypse? 3. Abducted by Aliens 4. Freed by the Fae Folk 5. .... --------- --------- Cover Art made by myself, using nightcafe AI Art, check out my page, I'm attempting to make novel art and character art for each arc: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/u/Raychbunni

The Infinite Tattoo The world is ruled by tattoos of destiny. Every child is born with a tattoo that determines their future. Some receive the marks of divine beasts, legendary weapons, monsters, elemental powers, or ancient beings. The stronger the tattoo, the greater the talent. Powerful families dominate countless realms using their bloodlines and strength. The Ashborn family stands among the strongest houses in existence, a clan where every child is born a genius. Except for Kael Ashborn. Born without a visible tattoo, Kael is treated as the family's only disappointment. While his elder brother and sisters are chosen by powerful guides to enter elite lower realms, Kael is abandoned and sent into the mysterious Forgotten World, a place feared as a graveyard realm. Unknown to everyone, Kael possesses a hidden power: The Infinite Creator Tattoo Unlike ordinary tattoos, Kael's power can create, evolve, fuse, and rewrite tattoos themselves. But every power comes with a price. To become stronger, he must become a Tattoo Artist, gathering rare materials, beast blood, and ancient cores to carve limitless powers. Along his journey, Kael gains loyal companions, powerful beasts, rivals, enemies, and mysterious female allies. He discovers ancient secrets hidden across countless realms and builds the legendary War God Academy, a place that creates warriors feared by heaven itself. Even his little sister, Mira, who secretly followed him into exile, awakens a terrifying power of her own. Together they rise from the weakest realm... Until the heavens themselves begin to fear the child they once called worthless.

"On your eighteenth birthday, I'll marry you. And you will never leave." He is not her blood. He is the man who raised her like a treasure and keeps her like a prisoner, the most feared name in the city, who once killed a guard for looking at her a moment too long. Lin Su is seventeen, a genius who has spent five years hiding exactly how brilliant she is, and she has one plan. Disappear before her birthday. She runs out of time in the cruelest way there is. One ordinary morning, every human on Earth vanishes at once, scattered across a hundred worlds built to kill them. A watch fuses to her wrist: a direction, and a number counting down from ninety. Reach the gate before it hits zero, or be trapped in that world forever. Clear all one hundred, and reach the only safe one left. The 101st World. So she hides everything. Her face, her genius, her name. She survives in the shadow of a cold, lethal commander who already seems to know how every world ends. A man who watches her too closely. Who makes every other man who comes near her quietly disappear. Who never explains why. She is certain he only sees a little sister. Everyone around them can see exactly what he is. And a hundred worlds behind her, her brother is still coming. He has an army now, and the whole apocalypse to cross, and he has never once in his life lost something he decided was his. Ninety days to a world. Two men who would burn down the heavens to keep her. And one truth she refuses to see until it is almost too late.
