In a land far, far away, in a time long past, there were two countries that existed side-by-side: Albion and Cathay. One hunted dragons and... more>> worshiped those who slew them; the other revered the dragons and abhorred their killers. Such were their natures and the two could not be reconciled. Their gods fled them, and the people saw the signs in the cracks in the soil, the drying of the rivers, and the unending gales. And then, most absurdly, the people start to hear that their royal families have taken to having affairs with the members of the enemy state! Truly, the world is going to hell.
One day, two amnesiacs awoke after being fished out of the Lethe, the River of Forgetfulness. One was a fox spirit and the other a young man with the blood of a despised people. On a whim, the fox spirit decided to protect the young man and set out on a journey to find their identities.
What were their identities? How did they fall into the river into the first place? Where did the gods go? Why were the Royal Highness(es) shacking up with each other?

By some freak coincidence, Song Ci mistakenly consumed the blood of the Demon King, causing himself to become a demon too. A weak scholar…… forced to suffer in silence.... more>>

What was even more tragic was that no matter where he went, demons would attack him from all directions braying for his blood, or they would squeeze his neck while interrogating him about his relationship with the Demon King.

As such, Song Ci became an anti-fan of the Demon King. Regardless of who praised the Demon King, he would be the first to stand out and refute them.

Song Ci fled for his life as he searched for the gate leading to the Demon Realm. Along the way, he clung on to the thigh of an influential man, and went to great pains to persuade him to slay the Demon King together with him and restore peace to the human world.

Song Ci, “Sooner or later, I will skin the Demon King, rip the tendons off him, and drink his blood!”

Rong Bai (smiling), “I admire the way you think.”

Who knew that, after entering the demon realm —

Tens of thousands of monsters bowed their heads and kowtowed to this thigh beside him and shouted “Long live the Demon King!”

Song Ci was stunned.

Rong Bai (smiling), “What did you say you were going to do when you came to the Demon Realm?”

Song Ci, “It, it’s all a misunderstanding……” <<less

In a realm where the infernal flames have inexplicably frozen over, transforming Hell from a domain of fire and brimstone into a desolate icy wasteland, lies a tale of unexpected journeys and hidden destinies. Among the few who dare to traverse this frozen Hell is Snow, a young woman whose ordinary life was upended when fate pulled her from the mortal world into the depths of the underworld.... more>>

Alone in a realm far from everything she once knew, Snow navigates the treacherous ice with empathy and a mysterious ability that sets her apart. But her solitude is short-lived. Fate soon brings her together with two strangers, each with their secrets and stories, forging an unlikely alliance in the face of the unknown. Together, they embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of Hell's transformation and challenge the very fabric of the celestial realms.

Yet, as they venture deeper into the icy heart of the underworld and beyond, Snow and her companions find themselves pursued by dark forces. Unbeknownst to Snow, her arrival in Hell has set events that threaten the balance between Heaven and Hell, making her a target for entities seeking to maintain, exploit, or upend this balance.

Bound by an ancient oath and driven by a destiny she is only beginning to understand, Snow's quest is one of discovery, duty, and the pursuit of destiny against the backdrop of a world turned upside down. "The Frost Maiden's Oath" is a narrative of hidden truths, the courage to face them, and the exploration of the thin line between salvation and damnation. It’s a story about the paths we find ourselves on, the allies we choose, and the relentless spirit required to confront the shadows of our worlds and of ourselves.

Have you ever questioned yourself why your viewpoint was just a bit different from everyone around you ?

it didn't really matter much that those people grew up in the same environment as you, maybe some had a bit more luck in life, others potentially had it even worse, but regardless of the situation was it almost always like your opinion was someone looking in from the outside even when you were supposed to be in the middle of the crowd.

Those questions, had been nagging in the subconscious of kira most of her life, she often stayed quiet as everyone around her seemed more like enigmas oblivious to the obvious yet oh so prideful, and taking up the fight trying to explain her viewpoint was often not worth it.

Turns out there was a reason for it, and her soul was rescued just in the nick of time by a certain celestial someone who had noticed her, before the automatic system put in place to ensure normalcy kicked in.

This is Kiras Demonic tale, her journey, her experiences, and her growth in a new environment.

What a scummy villain to do? He Lian escaped, Yu Xiling chased after.... more>>

The prideful Demonic Path sect of He Lian fell and there was no escape for him. The righteous cultivators surrounded him at every corner, bringing death, destruction and punishment everywhere they went. Even Yu Xiling, the cold and graceful First Disciple of the righteous sect, known for his fairness and merciful judgment, would not waste a moment to strike down He Lian's sect brothers in the destruction campaign.

As the leader of his sect, He Lian knew his punishment would be severe. He ran as far as his feet took him with Yu Xiling at his heels. At the deepest cave behind his Demonic sect, there was a dark water spring that would fulfill the wish of everyone who jumped into it. But the price would be harsh. Sometimes as harsh as one's own life.

Without a second of doubt, He Lian jumped.

He Lian: I want to be able to run away! I want to escape! I want nobody to recognize me and to leave me alone!

The Dark Water Spring: Ok.

The Dark Water Spring: [spits out a cute little fluffy black bunny somewhere in the enchanted woods]

The Dark Water Spring: There you go! Good luck!

He Lian: /('x')\

He Lian: ...

He Lian: Well. As long as I can cultivate back into a human without trouble... And it's not like any of those righteous sect cultivators would be able to follow me here or find me!

He Lian: /(*x*)\

The Dark Water Spring: [spits out a fluffy, beautiful, magnificent white fox somewhere deeper in the woods]

The Dark Water Spring: Good luck finding your misbehaved foe, Yu Xiling!
