Resumen

Hell is empty and all the demons are here... In a time when mankind deeply deemed their faith on prophecies and oracles and auguries, there lived a girl who was completely robbed off of her true identity by some titled men known as the Keepers. This poor girl was sold into a noble family as a mere slave, who washed and cleaned and managed the foul duties of the household. She is ascertained by an ancient prophecy, to bring about the doom of mankind, and so, her true identity must never be revealed. Once so, even by accident, death would be her portion. However, despite so much efforts that had been done in concealing her purpose in life, bit by bit of her selfhood began to unfold. Will mankind be safe now that this demoness is no longer a stranger to her own world of chaos and calamity?

Chapter 1Prologue

«A GLIMPSE OF HER PAST LIFE»

️♥<><>♥<><>♥<><>♥<><>♥

Death was not the end of the world. For me, it was only the beginning.

"Your majesty, we cannot let them get away with this. Not again."

His voice was sympathetic and filled with a tiny bit of hope. Just a tiny bit.

It was not enough to comfort me. It'll never be.

He went by many names; death, evil, black bird, the unknown, misfortune, magic, ill luck. But I called him 'Dolion'.

The deceit.

I was not looking at him. My eyes were shut still, so I presumed he was up in front of me, his red bloody eyes staring coldly at mine. He wouldn't understand. What was the point of it all? Fighting, trying to beat those bloody Keepers.

"Your majesty, listen to me. We can defeat them. I know so. If only we can just-"

"The Dragonstone is gone, Dolion." I heard my own voice spoke. Sad and depressed it was. Hopelessness was a terrifying thing to feel. "We have lost."

"But- but," Dolion couldn't speak. What was there to say?

My curse was indeed a dreadful one. No one could save me. With my own hands, I had brought an endless suffering to my life. My own father was only moments away to murdering me.

I would be reborn, brought back into this bloody land again. And he will find me.

And kill me again. Then history will repeat itself.

My fate was rather an unfortunate one. My eyes opened and I stared at my only true friend once more, before we departed. "You must find me." I said, and he nodded. Or did something close to nodding. Something birds would attempt whenever they made promises. "No matter what."

His glossy-black feathers shone a bit brighter in the cave, and it did so each time he was anxious about things. Curvy beak with bristle at the base, thick neck, shaggy throat feathers and thin fingers at the wingtips and Dolion resembled a witch's bird. An evil bird. I was no witch. He was no evil bird.

Voices grew louder and I heard him. He was ready to claim the life of the one he called his own blood. Is that what fathers did to their offsprings?

"Yes, your majesty. I will find you." He sniffed, making me imagine he was sobbing.

"Are you... crying?"

"Of course I am, your majesty!" He confessed. "I am tired of this. Everytime you have your life back together, he always comes and ruin things. That murderous man of a father."

I wanted to agree with Dolion. He was right after all. But not completely.

"Look at the world. It is broken, and only pieces of it remains."

"But it is not your fault. Men are evil, your majesty. You only did what was necessary of you, to protect yourself. You are not evil, my queen." He said, perhaps only to comfort me. It worked. "You are a good woman. And-"

Boom!

The end is here, my time has come.

My return this time, will be menacing. For I will spare no one. And I shall do to all, what they had done to me. Beware humans.

Beware.

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

Abyssal Awakening

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

Reborn As Cursed Alpha's Mate

What happens when a goddess falls in love with a shifter? Asara; the goddess of love, was punished by her father, the god of thunder. Her crime being falling in love with a mortal shifter Alpha. To pay for her sins she was reborn as Cassandra LeBlanc; a mortal Princess in the magical Kingdom of Speldaria. Her family and kingdom, except her middle sister, shunned her for she was born without any magical abilities and she had no recollections of her true identity. Her betrothed, the powerful mage commander of the Speldaria, was unbothered by her. He wished for someone strong. Cassandra’s life was toppled when she was gifted a warrior slave by the mighty Alpha of Dusartine. She was asked to take part in the Yearly Arena Event by collaborating with the warrior. Cassandra who hated ‘The Arena’ with her very breath. A place where blood flowed like wine and life was cheaper than the very air they breathed didn't understand her purpose in it. On top of that, the mysterious warrior affected her in unimaginable ways. His hypnotic gaze unsettled her. His rare essence overwhelmed her. His muscular bronzed body consumed her with sinful thoughts. Even the dreams of her past life plagued her. When ‘The Arena' began the hidden agendas and underlying truths came to light and Cassandra was played a hand of fate. She was left with no choice but to give in and choose a path. The question would be. How will Cassandra grapple once she learns of the curse placed on her? Will she be able to obtain her magical abilities and stand up to her father? Who will help her along the journey? ~Excerpt~ Then she felt him, all of him. All his ruggedness. The strength of his arm. The softness of his lips. The grip of his hand. The warmth of his breath. Every muscle in her body went taut at the implications of sleeping in a man’s arms. She had never slept in a male’s embrace before. Her whole skin tingled like tiny sparks dancing on the very parts that connected with him. The crevices of her brain had these memories which weren't hers. This touch somehow didn't seem foreign to her. She felt safe in his soothing embrace and didn't wish to push him away and yet she knew this was far from appropriate. Cassandra tried to wriggle out of his hold, his arms seemed to be built from iron for they wouldn't budge. The light garment she had worn had lifted from her milky thigh baring it as his bronzed muscular one was draped on it. And now she could sense something poking her back. Her eyes suddenly expanded from the realisation and Cassandra fully panicked. “Let go!” She voiced out, heavily. Siroos slowly lifted his leg and slackened his hold on her waist so she could shuffle away. He had awakened when she had stiffened for the first time but wished to behold what she would try. With eyes blown wide she stole a glance towards the man who had her wrapped in his embrace like a precious treasure, his treasure. His molten gold eyes had flickered open and there was this softness and want with which he stared at her. Those soft brown curls cascaded over his eyes as he forgot to blink, watching the timeless beauty that she was. Her one-of-a-kind fragrance was a torture to his senses. How he wished to grab her dainty ankle, pull her from it and have her sprawled underneath him. To kiss the very skin that oozed such scent which was driving him insane. Instead, he bent his arm and placed it under his cheek using it like a pillow to watch her with desire-filled eyes. The awkward lull between them prolonged as Cassandra cleared her throat. “Did you have to climb on me to sleep?” “It wasn't intentional but was certainly enticing and definitely won't be the last time.” His deeply hypnotic voice was even more alluring this early in the morning as it resonated all around her. The book cover is mine.
