Book 1 of the Brides of Darkness Series
For hundreds of years, Calaren Town had been offering virgin maidens to fulfill their part on the treaty they made with the Court of Shadows to keep their small town under their protection. To be chosen meant death to the townsfolk, as there was no turning back to becoming a human again.
Upon realizing that her younger sister was chosen as one of the maidens to be sacrificed by their impoverished town to the thirteen demon lords who once ruled their land, Iris Scarborough volunteered to take her place instead to save her.
There was nothing exceptional about Iris, except for the secret she was keeping from everyone. However, even before she was taken away, Iris had already caught the eye of one of the demon lords.
Rumors say that Lord Kieran Fleurnoir was the personification of death. His mere presence was enough to suck the life essence out of those around him. He was also known to be one of the strongest demons of all time, who possesses extremely dangerous and powerful magic.
Taken to Asnar, a place filled with magical beings and monsters, Iris found herself enthralled and captivated not only by the place and its residents, but also by the cold and enigmatic demon lord, Lord Kieran.
Once there, Iris realized that Asnar and Lord Kieran himself were different from what humans thought them to be.
Loosely based on the tales of ‘Hades and Persephone’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

To save her family from dying unjustly like they did in her previous life she has to marry a Prince rumored to be a demon.
A marriage that was only a deal on paper turns to something they both can't resist.
**
Two people who transverse through a lifetime of difficulty and hardship only to find each other again in another lifetime. Will their love transcend over the forces of time and the evil that lurks behind the power of a wish? Or will fate tear them apart to regain the world's stability.
***************
Excerpt
"How ridiculous, just because you saved my life, now I have to pay you back by marrying you?" Hamon looked strangely terrifying as he gave her a mocking laugh.
If he wasn't already wounded Ara might've beat that laugh off his face, for her own peace of mind.
"Your Highness if you keep laughing like that, your wound will open."
Her voice sounded muffled behind the armor making it quite gruff.
"Shut your disgusting mouth, even your voice is disgusting."
"Your Highness, listen to what I ha-"
"I'm going to say this one last time. I'm not going to marry you....so You can take your sorry self and leave this place right now while am being nice!"
Ara wanted to fume At him when he kept on interrupting her again and again.
'He thinks I'm disgusting, after I risked my life to save him? What an arrogant pompous Prince!' Despite her anger boiling beneath the surface, she said in a calm voice.
"Can you please just listen to me first?"
__
Excerpt
'Without Arabella...Hamon is nothing.'
'Die? How will you die when I'll be here to bring you back? Not even death can take you away from me, wife.'
'If anything happens to you...I will ruin the entire world!'
Memories of his words to his wife began to echo in his head, then images of her smiling face. And what she said earlier.
'If you tell me to split up with you again, I'll get very mad at you. And I won't allow you hold me to sleep tonight!'
'Hamon, I'll be dead before I leave your side, I am your wife and once your soldier, I am not a coward. I am staying by your side!'
Hamon sat frozen on the cold forest ground as he held Ara's dead body in his arms. There was no longer any signs of tears in his eyes, all that was left was a pair of soulless eyes. He slowly glanced down at her pale lifeless face, the reality began to sink to his mind. His wife was dead, Ara was dead... She died saving him, taking the arrows meant for him.
As those thoughts went through his mind, his face slowly began to darken, like cloudy storms of an incoming typhoon that could tear the skies and the earth apart, gradually his forearms veins started to turn purple and it spread to his neck veins and forehead. He pulled away from Ara's body and stood to his feet. Eyes as red as blood, claws long and sharp pierced through his fingers cutting his skin, but he didn't so much as flinch as the blood dripped from them. Purple dark veins appeared on his face as his sharp fangs peeked out of his clenched lips.
There the Demon stood with flames blazing in his hands, it looked nothing like Hamon. Just his soulless eyes were enough to make one crawl away in fright.

“… … god what?”
Chun Ha-jin, the secret weapon of the Alliance of Politics, is reincarnated as Seo-ryang, a member of the Three Gongs of the Heavenly Demon Church.
“You have to bounce!”
[This is a novel i am translating]
[And by the way it's having a manhwa ongoing ]

I dreamed of freedom all my life, but I lost it for a moment. She falls into her abyss, filled with despair at the freedom she lost before her eyes. “What is this fancy room? “What is this young body?” I feel strangely uneasy. Hey, it's definitely not that neighborhood, right? “Invincibility of religion, good luck to all gods.” “I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.” “… … God what?” Cheon Ha-jin, the secret weapon of the political faction alliance, is reincarnated as Seoliang, the three princes of the Heavenly Demon Church. “You have to jump out!”
[This Story Is Dropped]
When I, a master criminal from earth, reincarnated into a divine body, I was ecstatic. Finally, I didn't have to worry about outsmarting the detectives, being chased by police, and remaining hidden everytime.
I was a prince then, a royalty. I could do anything; have any kind of luxury I wanted. I could pursue the things I liked, rather than the things I was forced to like.
However, the heavens didn't seem to give me a rest. Just two years later, I had to descend to a mortal world with my junior sister, and re-cultivate again.
I would have to compete with my other 7 immortal siblings, to reach the ninth heaven. This was a contest of Ancension to the Immortal World, a contest for the Divine Throne.
With my wits, my immoral experiences, and the memories of the previous owner of this body, Zuifan; I would claim that throne, the Heavens itself.
While others may go the straight path of bitter cultivation for years, I would take the easiest and the fastest path. This mortal world, the resources in it, the rare beauties; everything shall become mine!
In a universe consumed by an eternal battle between Heaven and Hell, the birth of twins from an angel and a demon sparks a forbidden hope for peace.As Heaven and Hell join forces to eliminate the twins, their parents flee to Earth, sacrificing their celestial powers.

Their parents plan to escape, but an encounter with vengeful angels and demons separates them. Dante, one of the twins, grows up in an orphanage, oblivious to his true heritage. Little does he know that his destiny is intertwined with the fate of the entire universe and the multiverse.
As the story unfolds, Dante's transformation from a wayward son to a world's destroyer brings intrigue and mystery, questioning his true motivations. The secrets of Damian's past and the universe's ultimate fate lie in a tale of love, sacrifice, and cosmic consequences, awaiting those brave enough to uncover the truth.

The tree that stands the tallest, always gets blown by the wind.
Nero had been the strongest cultivator of the Eternal realm, standing above all else and looking down at all that was beneath him with an emotionless face. He was unrivalled!
However, as the old proverb says, a neighbor's eye is full of jealously.
Out of fear, envy and jealously, the other peak cultivators of the Eternal realm teamed up against him and with the aid of a transcendent weapon, brought Nero down from his throne, ending his reign of supremacy but at a great cost.
Unbeknowst to them however, the supreme one didn't die but was gravely injured to the point of regressing in his cultivation. A crack in the void that formed from the last attack, sent him down to a lesser realm.
Now, Nero has to treat his injuries, restore his cultivation and take vengeance on all who plotted against him.
Follow Nero on his journey to becoming the supreme one once again, the Unrivalled.
In the Grand War Long Tian killed the Devil Emperor but died alongside him when he self destructed.
Billions of years later Long Tian awakens to find that he had reincarnated. All of his friends and all of his enemies had all died. He was alone in an unfamiliar world.
Careful to not make the mistakes of the past, he vows to cultivate and return to the peak of cultivation once again.
But things may not progress as he desires. For as he awakes, so does the darkness.
PS: To all those who came here because the name says demon, the MC isn't really a demonic type. The name is pretty much unrelated to the MC, and isn't explained until much later.
The first seven chapters are world building, and an explanation of MC reincarnating. The story only starts from chapter eight onward. So please read ten chapters before giving it a grade.

In this dangerous world, I thought that I could trust the people who were in my situation. They were my comrades, my rivals, my best friends, and even my love. They promised to stand by my side always, but when I needed their help the most, they abandoned me. But you know what? That's okay. I've learned that trust is rare in this world. This time, I won't be the one getting hurt. I'll be the one doing the hurting. In this academy where everyone tries to be the hero, I'll embrace the shadows and come out on top. In this fallen world, I'll become the strongest. Against those who chose to stand against me, I will emerge victorious!
×××As always, allow me to provide a brief summary of what lies ahead in this novel. It will feature the enthralling backdrop of school life, with established relationships devoid of the typical harem tropes. Romance will be woven into the narrative, but it will be far from cliché or cringe-worthy. The protagonist, while not a villain, is certainly no conventional hero. I assure you, the main character will not succumb to irrational decisions, as he will possess a sharp intellect. Secrets will envelop the MC, some even eluding the comprehension of the protagonist himself. Expect mind-bending plot twists, intense drama, and moments of vulnerability. Betrayals will test loyalties, and battles will be waged against both monsters and humans, including clashes with entire societies. Finally, let it be known that the hero and the overall story will deviate significantly from the "villain's side of the novel," employing a distinct writing style, narrative approach, and unique goals.
Above all, my utmost priority in crafting this novel is to ensure its logical coherence, devoid of any plot holes. It will deviate from the fantastical logic of the novel world and adhere to the rationality of the real world. Every conversation and every action taken by the characters will mirror those of ordinary individuals rather than idealized figures within a story. They will not be perfect, nor will they be foolish; they shall simply embody normalcy.
