Resumen

Throughout the kingdom, who doesn't know the eldest miss of General Wei's family is completely useless? Without any powers along with her mentality of a child, Hongyue is mistreated and used as a pawn. However the mistreatment goes too far and the seemingly useless child slowly starts to awaken her claws, her heart bloodthirsty. With a new soul in place, she turns the whole world upside down. In a world of magic and spells, just how long can useless little miss endure the words of the people who want her dead. Ah, my mistake. What would words of the dead ever mean to the living? Would the words still matter if you're already dead? Rumors are always proven wrong but some remain true. That eldest miss of the Wei Family isn't normal. Her blood is indeed different. As she slowly toys with her enemies, her actions catch a pair of sharp eyes. "She'll be the mine." *Inspired by typical Chinese reincarnation novels however it's baked with more than just one little twist. I wanted a novel that different and not as predictable as similar novels. It's my first time writing so there might be potholes but I'll try my best. This will be similar yet different in terms of approach. I'm a big fan of weak to strong novels but if you tell me that once amazing killer suddenly amounts to nothing in a new world with her personality turned all sweet, I'll have to double check myself. Hope you like it! Filled with schemes and twists, this simple author hopes to entrance you. **Update 2-3 weekly ***Stole the cover page from google but edited it myself.

Chapter 1Half-Siren Takeover

In an inadequately lit room, an orb of silver-blue glistened excitedly before finally descending on to the forehead of a dying sixteen-year-old girl. The sick child had ghostly pale white skin, and her body laid weakly on a well-dilapidated bed. A trail of blackened blood could be seen leaving her white lips and trickling down to her neck—a reasonable indication of poison. The dying child's black hair was laced with grime along with sweat, sticking to her perspiring face. As she uttered a slight cough, her body convulsed, and a few splatters of blood settled down on her right shoulder. As the fresh droplets of blood rolled freely down the side of her limb, they seemed to visit old whip marks and burn marks on the child's thin arms. From a simple glance, anyone could distinguish the pitiful soul only had a thin thread of life that remained.

Just hours ago, the poor girl was mercilessly flogged by servants in the manor who were secretly under the orders of her father's concubine.

In the grim darkness of the room, she struggled to breathe. Blood rushed out from between her pale lips like an overflowing river. The dark red liquid slowly ran down her chin, incorporating into the bed which was already saturated in her blood.

Another cough echoed softly into the room before being overwhelmed by the silence.

Alas, her eyes subsequently trembled as she took her last breath and her hand gently dropped limply by her side as she passed on to the afterlife.

The blue orb pulsed and impatiently glowed before it embedded itself inside the cold body. As a new soul rushed out from the orb and settled within the cold body, a sheer sky-blue aura encircled the body before disappearing. The child's eyes that once no longer held life suddenly snapped open, flashing a silver-purple before returning to its original pitch black. A cold smile adorned her face as the child glanced around at her surroundings.

Oh?

What's this? Even the God of Death didn't want her to pass his gates?

Did he also condemn 'mixed evil' like her, just like the ones who killed her? How rude, and here she thought they were similar and even had prepared to meet him.

Oh well, she gingerly touched her face and let out a light hum.

No matter.

After all, she couldn't deny that this new body was indeed convenient.

A rush of clear memories of the former occupant overflowed into her head. As the new soul slowly absorbed the incoming information, a smirk slyly crawled up her face. The wise have always said that life continuously cycles in an everlasting circle, so it wasn't a surprise to her that she circled back around another time for another chance in another life. It would be more shocking if she didn't. It would be harmful to the sisters of fate if they were to accept such a willful and unwilling soul, yet it would also be a pity even if they did.

Those sisters must have not much time to play, she mused.

However, she did.

Thinking slowly, she started to recollect her new memories and thoughts. In this world, there appeared to be a usage of magic. Everyone in this kingdom had a least some type of power. It was too bad that the previous occupant didn't have much of any of this knowledge because she was treated as an outcast. The former soul was 'normal,' a being without any powers, thus shamed as useless.

The 'normal' was born in a high-class General's Manor. Yet, in the end, she was killed by a mere servant sent by her father's concubine. It is a pity to say that it was always the higher-class females who harbored blackened hearts. So, a simple child like a 'normal' never had the chance to live long within the household.

The ill child had lived in constant fear, always surrounded by constant mockery. In a place where having wizardry powers were regarded strongly important, a 'normal being' like her, had no chance to survive in a harsh society like this. Besides having no power, she was extremely ill and constantly getting sicker with each passing day.

'Normals' like her would usually be branded as slaves; however, her high birth title spared her from such fate.

Still—surrounded by people eagerly waiting for her to die wasn't all that different from being a caged slave working until the day they die. While always being set up by petty tricks along with petty minds might be a challenge to a clueless child. This was a mere child play for a bloodthirsty siren.

With a soft bitter voice, a promise was made, "Your name is quite nice, red (Hong) as in blood and everchanging like the moon (Yue). Since it's something of value, I shall take your name as the price for my gift to you."

"A gift so grand it'll shake the heavens. Something that won't be just an act of simple revenge. It's a pity your time didn't last long, Hongyue. I'll take your place for you," She murmured gently.

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?'

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all. *********** With a grin that made her uneasy, he handed the application to her. “Approve this one.” Principal Jameson’s curiosity got the better of her as she took the paper from him, her eyes scanning the text. Almost immediately, her breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening in disbelief. “What the...?” “It’s perfect, isn’t it?” Asher’s voice was almost gleeful. Fucking psychopath! Jameson could hardly believe what she was reading. “Mr. Nightshade, with all due respect, this applicant….this girl just admitted to—” She couldn’t even finish the sentence, still horrified at the explicit nature of the application. Taking a deep breath, she continued, “I’m sorry, but I cannot approve this.” “She’s issued me a challenge,” Archer said, a dark gleam in his eyes. “What?” “‘Wait till you see me in bed,’” he repeated the bold line from the application, his grin widening. “And I can’t wait to find out.” “Mr. Nightshade—” He stood up, cutting off her protest as he fixed her with an intense stare. “Approve the application. I won’t ask again.” Without waiting for her response, Asher strode out of the office, confident she would follow his orders. He always got what he wanted. Archer Nightshade walked down the hall, a spring in his step. For the first time in a long while, he felt alive, his blood pulsing with excitement. The other Cardinal Alphas had no idea what he was up to, but it would soon hit them. He’d just set the game in motion. And the target was Violet Purple. It was game on. Note : This is not your average werewolf story. Eveything you think you know about werewolves would be challenged in this book. And yes, it is reverse harem. Do give the book a try.

Even though he was the one who won the race and the trophy, his wife was looking at the other mer. “Well yes,” Luo Huian, who was an appreciator of beauty, agreed at once. “Why are you asking this though?” Fan Meilin’s eyes flashed as he smiled at her and leaned in closer to her body as he whispered in her ear, “He might be good looking but I am a better driver. Not only on the track but also in bed, do you want to try darling?” Luo Huian: Resist the temptation! At all costs! I am an iron-hearted woman. ***** Resisting the temptation take 3: “Is this necessary?” Luo Huian questioned as she sat on the couch, watching the mer trace his fingers on her curves while she sat in nothing but modern swimwear. The mer nodded as he wrote on his small notepad, “I need to trace every inch of your skin to create my finest creation, so don’t move.” After he finished writing, he handed the notepad to Luo Huian, his fingers brushing against the curve of her bosom, waist and ——— Luo Huian: My virtue is at extreme risk! ** Fl who is trying to do everything to save her virtue from being taken as it would slow down her cultivation X Mls who are trying their best to snatch it from her. *********** Trigger warning: though the book is set in a comedic setting, there might be some uneasy topics that would discuss depression and loneliness. ***********

Rating: 4.5 stars. -- I have to say, this novel is like 100% better than most of the typical reincarnation novels I've read so far. Is it perfect? No, but it has lots of potential as well as being exciting with a main character that you can't help but feel for and root for. At first, I admit I had a hard time connecting w/ the MC.... she was a bit too cold and merciless, but as the story goes on, you go on to find out that behind all of her bloodthirstiness, there is a vulnerable child merely wishing for a friend, someone to love and who will love her back. I find the way the author slowly shows us her complex character is well done and truly makes you root for the character. Also I love her interactions with all of the usual characters that would be MLs in other stories like this. I do suspect that one of them might be one of the MLs (altho even if there is a tag, I'm hoping this story isn't reverse-harem, or if there is one that's it properly done), but even then the way the MC deals w/ them is by being cold + vicious + annoying them to death w/ her sharp tongue. It's so fun to read tbh, and gratifying bc usually the cold and merciless 'assassin' type MCs in these stories always end up being played around by the oh-so-powerful ML and even blushing bc of them *rolls eyes* (But then again the MC is stronger than all of them, even now lol.) The MC is very OP, however, which can make it feel like there is barely any struggle in the story. But she does make mistakes, she's somewhat too arrogant at times - but I find that makes her all the more human tbh. She's also extremely smart, but sometimes I do admit I find it a little too unreal. Actually, I'm even speculating that after she's done w/ the revenge at the general's house, and starts traveling the world she'll meet actual opponents that can actually stand up to her - which would be nice to see. The general's household feels sort of like her playground tbh, like her first stop in this new world, for her to use a stepping stone and to strengthen herself. As well, I truly applaud the author for the schemes in this story. Not because they're super ingenious or anything, altho they are devious, but because they don't use r*pe. I am so tired of reading about these reincarnation stories (whether modern / ancient) w/ r*pe being used in them as a mere plot device - granted not all of them are set in worlds w/ magic or cultivation but still, it's so disgusting and disrespectful to use something so traumatic and awful as r*pe as a mere plot device. It's even worse when it's in cultivation / magic worlds like this one bc it's like.... there's freaking magical powers, etc and you couldn't come up with something else???? I'm really hoping the author doesn't use it in the future, but for now, just this sole reason makes me really enjoy this story very much. One last thing....I'm hoping the author shows us more of the world soon, a world full of magic is so cool and worth exploring even if the MC can't use it herself or doesn't need to. But I guess we have to wait for her poison (s) to be healed and for her to deal w/ the general. Anyway, thank you author for sharing your work with us, I really loved it and even binged it all in one seating - which was well worth it, I tell you!
