Resumen

(Mature content R-18+. No Rape. Contains gore and sex) ------- In the Empire where nobles were gifted talents to protect their lands, power to rule over the many, and knowledge to conquer the darkness—evil lurked in the shadows. Calista La Forte was revered as the Saintess of the Khortel Empire. She had status, beauty, wealth, power, and attitude. Known as the most beautiful lady on the continent, Calista believed she’d get anyone she wanted until one declined. Misfortunes started at Calista’s engagement party with a random man she picked among the crowd. The so-called ‘Saintess’ became the Empire’s greatest Villainess in an instant. And while everyone turned their backs on her at her lowest point in life, a certain beast was eager to be tamed by the alluring villain, pulling her back into the spotlight. “You’re the most gruesome creature I’ve ever seen,” Calista La Forte said through her gritted teeth, “but why am I not able to get you off my mind? Is this a curse?" “If you think my existence is a curse, then we’re on the same page, my lady,” he agreed in a deep voice. “A lowly beast I am is no match for a celestial being you are.” “Then why do I keep thinking about you? My heart aches when you’re not around,” she exclaimed out in tears, feeling the tightening of her chest as she looked into his eyes, “Am I dying?” “No, you’re not,” he answered almost immediately, cupping her face with his huge and calloused hands. “I won’t let anything bad happen to you.” His fingertips moved to her lips, pressing them lightly. “So instead of being afraid of what’s not coming, why not stay by my side and be mine?”

Chapter 1Marked By Fate

Greetings!

Welcome to the World of Lair — a place where dreams and nightmares come true!

This is Au, your virtual tour guide~

Do you have questions in mind with no answers yet? Something that keeps you awake at night and even after trying your best to sleep for a few hours, you still think about the same thing in the morning or noon when waking up.

If the answer is YES, then I have a suggestion. Keep reading ahead…

In this world, a powerful being descended from above could be found—the Faterer. Nobody knew what she was before landing on land. All that we know so far is that she could grant your wish.

Any wish...

However, beware! She might ask you something in return. Still interested?

The Faterer was last sighted in the Southern part of the Khortel Empire. If you want to make a wish, you must catch her and take at least a strand of her red hair. She will grant any wish you have if you're willing to pay the price.

Remember, the Faterer only appears when she senses your strong will and determination to seek her power.

Quest!

Explore the Khortel Kingdom and find the Faterer.

NOTE: Below is an entry from my journal with the information I've gathered after diving into this world. Use it as a guide to explore.

Au's Journal

Year 99, 24th Drizleae, Central Continent

Dear Adventurer,

Well, congratulations! You got an exclusive ticket tour to this world from yours truly.

If you're reading this, I'm probably lying in bed while thinking if I made the right decision to tell you about this particular world—the Lair.

You see, this is not a safe place for ordinary humans, so you make sure to read everything. But if you have this journal in your hands right now, that only means one thing… You are NOT an ordinary HUMAN.

(*whispers* What are you?)

I'm actually in a hurry right now while writing this entry so I'll keep it short, otherwise, the Faterer might find and punish me for telling the secrets of this world. There are a few things you must remember once you step into this new world—different from ours. I'll break down some details about the beings you might encounter when you're here.

The Celestials are the blessed ones and the leaders of this world…Well, not really. But be careful when you meet one. Better avoid them at all costs if you want a peaceful journey. Take note that even Werewolves and Vampires are avoiding them.

And don't mess with werewolves and vampires! They will tear your flesh and suck your blood dry!

*scared*

Next, you should NEVER make a deal with a Witch—Oh, gosh! A witch is coming for me now. I have to go and hide—omgphmrn!

PS. If you find the Faterer, please ask her to help me!

PPS. A pack of wolves joins the chase! SEND HELP!

Running for her life,

Au

----------

Twenty years ago in a Kingdom somewhere in the Western Continent…

The rumbling of thunders along a heavy storm turned day to night in a blink. Dead bodies floated on the flooded street, and the shadow of death lurked in the empty alleys. There was no sign of life left, not even for a man in black standing on top of the bell tower. His coat tainted in red glistened in the dark.

A sinister smile flashed on his face as he watched everything be ruined. He was the epitome of a beautiful disaster—with his crimson eyes peeking through his golden hair blown by the wind.

"Milord, the lady is ready."

The smile on the man's face widened as he jumped off the tower, head first. In the next second, he landed on the firm ground and stood in front of an altar surrounded by lit candles. The warmth from the flames in the candles filled the hall as the pungent smell of blood pervaded the whole place.

He clapped his hands in glee as he appreciated the gloomy atmosphere.

"Hello there, little lamb. How do you feel about being the only one left in the kingdom, hmm?" The man asked the lady dressed in white, with her hands and feet spread across the altar, chained.

"Grr!" She growled, unable to speak as her mouth was covered by a piece of cloth. Her face screamed with anger as she scowled at him.

"Hush now, little lamb. You'll see the others in a bit," the man responded, filling the halls with his deep and ominous laugh. However, his expression changed in the next second, and he glared at her. And before she could make another sound in protest, his hand pierced through her flesh.

"Urkk!"

She groaned deeply when he pulled his hand out, leaving a huge wound on her stomach.

"There's no need to hurry, princess. It will be your turn in a bit," he added, tracing her pale skin with his bloody fingertips. "I hate disobedient lambs, you know?"

He combed his hair up with the same hands he used to bore a hole in her body. His eyes turned blue for a moment before returning to crimson when he caught a whiff of fresh blood awakening his desire.

"Alright!" The man clicked his tongue. "Now, shall we begin the best part of tonight's show?" He flashed her a toothy grin and leaned close to her face.

The lady's body shivered when his tongue found her nape, licking it. Just when she was getting used to the sensation, a pair of sharp canine teeth sank into her skin.

Deep.

Her world seemed to stop as she slowly lost her strength. She felt her blood getting sucked through the holes in her neck and couldn't do anything about it.

After quenching his thirst, the man gasped for air and continued to drain her blood to every last drop.

It didn't take her longer before she drew her last breath while her eyes remained wide open in desperation and shock.

"Ugh! She doesn't taste nice at all. A hare's blood was way sweeter," the man complained. "What a letdown," he added, wiping his lips with the back of his hand as he pulled away from the lady's cold body.

His eyebrows met when he realized something was amiss. "Are you sure she's of royal blood? Because she got the most undelectable blood I ever had!"

"Milord, this lady here was the third princess of the kingdom. We've confirmed her identity after seeing the royal mark on her brooch," one of his subordinates informed.

The man scoffed. "There were only two princesses in this damned kingdom! Who even told you there were three?" He grabbed his hair and pulled it in annoyance when he remembered to ask something. "Where's Princess Lissa then? Everything will be useless if it's not her lying in this damn altar!"

"We... We don't have any idea of her whereabouts," his subordinate replied.

His rage reached his eyes as they turned redder than usual. In a split second, his subordinate fell to the floor with a twisted neck. "I hate incompetent fools," he mumbled. "If I knew this would happen, I shouldn't have skewered the first princess to death!"

The man took a couple of minutes for himself to calm down.

"So, now I know why she wasn't turning and died instead. What a waste of time," he said, picking up the candle next to him.

His crimson eyes squinted as he stared into the flame. "Wait, what's that?" He asked no one in particular when he heard a faint heartbeat from afar.

"Oho! Is someone still alive? Is it our dear Princess Lissy?" The man's morbid face glowed with excitement. He was certain his plan would work somehow.

"What a good princess she is," he stated, throwing the candle at the dead lady's body in front of him.

The lady's clothes caught fire almost immediately, and the burning corpse pleased him.

"Too bad," the man said in a mocking tone while staring at the body turning into ashes. "You ain't the lamb I'm looking for," he added before leaving the building on fire.

Dry leaves rustled as the man walked through the woods, where he ended up after following the faint sound of the mysterious heartbeat.

"Yoo-hoo! Is anybody here? I came to help," he said, holding back his laughter after spouting a lie. "I came to help! Well, yeah. I'm going to end your misery by killing you, and that's helping, no? "

The woods went quiet for a moment until a gust of wind blew.

"Stop hiding and show yourself, 'lil lamb," the man said nonchalantly. "Let's not waste each other's time, alright?"

The man halted and closed his eyes to heighten his senses. His eyebrows met when he could no longer hear the sound he sought after.

"I warned you," a familiar yet cryptic voice said from behind him.

The man's body froze when the words he heard penetrated his ears. He couldn't win against it and for the first time in a long while, he felt scared.

"You're a traitor to our kind. Removing your existence in this world is not enough to pay for what you've done," the voice continued. "You will be punished by serving the next ruler of the clan you loathe the most, as long as you live!"

The Lair trembled. The sky roared with thunders and flickered with lightnings as the curse took effect.

"N-No! You can't do this to me! I rather die than serve your kind!" the man screamed in his mind.

"My poor child," the voice whispered in the man's ear. "Keep this mark as the symbol of your fealty to the clan."

The man who couldn't move suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face, making him writhe in pain. "Just kill me!"

"It was the plan, my child. You, of all people, knew why you should have been executed. The moment you refused your fate, the Lair had prepared you a gift."

"No, please. Anything but serving the clan," the man begged, as blood fell from his eyes instead of tears.

"It's too late," the voice echoed through his head. "The new ruler is born."

With the voice's last words, the Lair was divided into two. Immortals took over the dark side and the mortals remained in the light.

In between this grandiose phenomenon which caused the world's uproar, a humble entity, born between a mortal and a celestial slave, stood by the borders of light and darkness.

Growing up with nothing but a beautiful face, the mark of his sin robbed him of everything that he had.

Young master Damien's pet

"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind. "Bring the man here." "N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night. Damien who hadn't broken his eye contact with the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall which now rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his Master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain. "No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblooded vampire who is a complete narcissist, brash with his words and stingy even though he is rich who haggled when he bought a slave from the black market. On the other hand, meet Penelope who believes she is a 'guest' for a few days at the Quinn as she is intent on escaping from the odd vampire who needs therapy. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN

Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas

Valerie, the daughter of the murdered Alpha of the Yellow Stone Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Luna wolf. Her mate, Tristan, was made the Alpha in her stead. After assuming the title of Alpha, Valerie was set up and brutally rejected, not only by Tristan but also her whole pack, and her kid sister, Scarlet, with whom Tristan had secret affairs. “I reject Luna Valerie as my mate. She was caught in bed with a stranger, meaning that she would sell the pack out. The punishment for treachery is death,” Alpha Tristan announced heartlessly. The chants from the pack members and visiting Alphas who had come for the Alphas' conference attracted them to the judgment. No one thought that Alpha Denzel, whose name caused the hairs on their skin to stand straight due to his ruthlessness, would make it to the conference. Valerie found hope when she realized that Alpha Denzel was her second chance mate, but painstakingly, she was rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was condemned to die by all the Alphas present. She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Denzel left and a warrior was ready to execute her. Everyone was shocked when Alpha Denzel suddenly turned around. “Stop! The treacherous daughter of a late Alpha should not be killed. More suffering awaits her,” he declared. Valerie’s heart dropped when she saw his dark look, which was like a bottomless pit, as she blacked out from exhaustion. A few months down the line, there was a war among the Alphas as they began to lay claim to the two-times-rejected Luna. With her wolf dead, will the moon goddess be gracious to give her another wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now cold heart?

The Prince of Military Academy Is Actually A Girl!

After dying from a strange terminal illness, Ling Lan was reborn into a world 10000 years into the future. Although she dearly wished she could just live a peaceful and uneventful life in her new healthy body, fate had other plans ... Forced to disguise herself as a boy just so she could inherit her deceased father's premium military benefits, Ling Lan's journey to adulthood was full of challenges. After much difficulty, she finally turned sixteen when she could drop the charade. But before she could grasp her newfound freedom to get married and start her own family, a twist of fate results in her being thrown into the Federation's top military boys' school. With these twists of fate, Ling Lan had little choice but to walk further and further down a path of no return, one of cold and aloof dominance ... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ryuxenji the translator here. :3 Here are some other things you should know: 1) This story is NOT primarily a romance. QI's system right now categorizes all novels taken from the female novel Chinese site (起点女生网) as 'romance' without fail, regardless of whether they truly are romance. So, if you are here just for the romance, you might want to find a different novel. There will be some romance eventually, but most of this novel is Sci-Fi/Xianxia with a lot of world-building and character development. 2) I use British spelling. So, please ensure spelling errors are really errors before reporting them. 3) No matter what the release rate up top says, the guaranteed release rate right now is 1 chp/day (a.k.a. 7 chps/week). All else is extra at my discretion. (I'll try my best, but RL responsibilities come first.)
