When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Wait, is there something wrong with you all? Why do you look so scared? This world is so… exciting! For Jin Jiuchi, this beast in human clothing who was chained by society laws, the appearance of the Nightmare Cycle was akin to a dream come true! Drinking tea with a dismembered bride in a haunted apartment, dancing tango with the evil spirit in the depths of suicide forest, skipping rope with the ancient god in a forgotten civilization… Jin Jiuchi was so happy that he was going crazy! However, when he went crazy, all the players and NPCs in the cycle trembled in fear. *** There was only a beautiful jade doll who had never been afraid of him. Shen Nianzu called out softly, "Jin-ge." Jin Jiuchi, who was happily digging through a rotten corpse's stomach, suddenly dropped everything and zoomed in front of Shen Nianzu with a speed invisible to naked eyes. His eyes were curved into crescents as he asked, "What's wrong, Nian'er? Do you want to join me too?" Shen Nianzu was expressionless as he stared at the bloody man in front of him. Then he suddenly stretched out a hand, palm up. Confused, Jin Jiuchi placed his dirty paw in Shen Nianzu's hand and shook it. Shen Nianzu: “Good boy.” Jin Jiuchi: ? *** Lunatic drama king, wild beast gong x big beauty, cunning, strong-acting-weak shou Additional tags: top/gong/seme protagonist, action, supernatural, psychological, mystery, slow romance, ghosts, gore, monsters, beasts, shameless protagonist, survival game, teamwork, unlimited flow, horror, suspense, younger love interest Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord: delanasiwarka#1490 Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord

The Reincarnated Mercenary's Only Skill is Item Box

The Reincarnated Mercenary's Only Skill is Item Box

"No one ever helped me no matter how much I suffered. So, tell me...why would I help others if there's no benefit to it for me?" After being sold off by his parents to human traffickers due to a physical deformity and ending up as a resident of the underworld, a jaded mercenary is killed during a mission gone wrong. "If only there was a way to carry my entire arsenal of weapons without weighing myself down..." As he dies, he suddenly find himself waking up in a younger, unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar world. He finds himself in a rundown orphanage located in a medieval world full of Magic and Monsters, his new body weak and frail. His new name is Jaedfern Meraled, or Jade for short. But he's not alone in being sent to this world...along with him for the ride is the Angel Arkiela, who was banished to this world for interfering with the human world out of boredom. Specifically, she used her powers to feed and amplify people's impulses and intrusive thoughts, including the people around Jade, whom she targeted to, in her words, "mess with", and subsequently went on to ruin his life. She then claims that their lives are now intertwined...if one of them dies, so will the other. While being uncertain as to whether she's being honest about that or lying so that he can't afford to kill her, Jade can't exactly risk putting it to the test, so he errs on the side of caution. Grudgingly, he decides to accept her presence around him, having no other choice in the matter. With that settled, she reveals that when people are reincarnated with their memories intact, they're given OP powers, usually as a reward or consolation for their circumstances in their previous life, and she then checks what abilities he's been bestowed with. In this world, there are three main elements to a person's Magic...their Magic Class; which is the core of their abilities, their Mana Pool; the quantity of Magical energy they possess, and finally, their Skills; special abilities that include active powers such as Appraisal and passive powers such as Heat Resistance. Each person possesses three Skills, without exception. As for Jade, his Magic Class is...well, he doesn't have one. And his Mana Pool...is nonexistent, he possesses no Magical energy whatsoever. And finally, his Skills...he only has one, titled "Mercenary's Item Box", a dimensional storage power with a number of abilities that can be unlocked by Leveling Up the Skill. Most people who are reincarnated are given OP powers, rewarded for either living a virtuous life, or as consolation for living a tortured life. But sometimes, people who've lived sinful lives, can be punished instead, bestowed with the bare minimum of abilities in worlds where such abilities are everything. And Jade is the latter. However, Jade may not necessarily be as bad off as it initially seems...because within his Item Box, is every weapon he owned during his previous life, weapons that don't exist in this world. Will it give him enough of an advantage to survive, and ideally thrive, in this medieval world rampant with violent crime and dangerous Monsters? One thing's for sure, it certainly won't be easy...

A novel as good as The Nightmare Box
There were novels similar to The Box of Nightmares: 1. Krafft's Anomaly Notes, Author: Snowy Chicken 2. Necromancer's Experimental Notes. Author: Nian Feichang 3:"Love Letter Is Not Contained In The Exorcism Notes", Author: Zhang Parker 4:"The Secret Nightmare", Author: No Water at All 5: Gradually Crazy, Author: Small Fish in Pond 6: Servant of Crimson, Author: Sakiko Mengno Death Gap, Author: Gentle Killer Whale 8:"The Demon Hunter of the Kingdom of Steam", Author: Su Zheng Bai Xian 9:"Shadow of Death" by Yue Ming on the 12th Floor Legend of the Mud Dragon by Clouds in the Starry Sky Chapter 11:"The Savior Is Busy Forking," Author: Dragon King Cat Abyssal Wanderer, Author: Sevenfold Body Divers Under the High Wall, Author: Little White in the Rain Mad Immortal, Author: Crazy Little Wind Long Quenching Steps, Author: Drinking Gutter Oil Son of the Stars, Author: Luo Sanguan.CS Cyber Ghost Record, Author: Sugeradi Abyss Train, Author: Foxman The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1. Krafft's Anomaly Notes: Amway Pills 50. Wow, I found another immortal herb that I haven't signed yet. It was almost the original Cthulhu, and he loved craftsmanship. The main character was a medical student from China. After passing the exam, he partyed all night and then transmigrated to a different world with a medieval atmosphere. The original owner was the grandson of a country baron. The story of the original owner being possessed by the main character was-to satisfy his grandfather's mysticism hobby, the original owner went to a certain port to look for a mage whose hand could catch fire. In the end, he was burned and died on the amputation platform when he heard the mage performing halfway. He originally planned to return empty-handed, but when he stayed in a certain village, he learned that the villagers had dug up a mysterious black prism from the ground and carved various patterns on it. The original owner hired the villagers to dig up the prism, intending to bring it back to his grandfather. In the end, the main character took her away the next morning. After that, there were all kinds of plots that exuded a very strong love for craftsmanship. Dreams, ravings, madness... After a series of changes, the protagonist became a lecturer at a medical school in another world, and then he discovered that his talent began to explode... Reason for recommendation: 1. The writing style was extremely detailed. The book described the local customs of the Middle Ages and showed the medical standards of that era. At the same time, Cthulhu's fear of the unknown under his worldview was the essence of the old man who loved craftsmanship. He wrote that kind of absurdity and strangeness. 2. What was even rarer was that the author's description of absurdity was just right, so that the readers of the online novel could continue reading and not get carried away by the stream of consciousness. 3. After reading it, the general feeling was that this was the closest to the real Cthulhu style of online novels that he had read so far. It was even closer to the daily life of Mahn. The criticism of rationality, the mysterious, crazy, terrifying, and unknown world that humans could not understand, the feeling of getting closer to the truth and understanding more would lead to crazy destruction. The book was very well expressed and the taste was very positive. 4. The combination of Ke and Doctor's Literature. Compared to Doctor Dawn's modern background where modern medicine collided with the mysterious power of Ke, the medical level in this book was much lower. On the contrary, it created more anticipation. 5. The book showed the courage of humans in the face of fear and the unknown. The protagonist was involved in the absurd horror, but he boldly spread medical skills, saved the dying and healed the wounded, and was hired to move forward under the gaze of an indescribable and terrifying creature. It was really a little creepy. I recommend some reference books for writing Cthulhu novels (Beginner): The Cthulhu myth. Book of the Dead. Groundhog Day Yellow Mark. Dream in the Witch's House It surpassed the Shadow of Time. Silver key. Crazy Mountain Range. From the outside, it was the study of the green word. The monster in the cave. Dark Night murmured. Star Color. Rat in the Wall (A terrifying secret hidden in one's own bloodline). Foreigner. Bird Scattered Cat. Pikeman's model (which embodied Cthulhu's most important characteristic,"the extraordinary horror of ordinary life") and Innmouth's haze (the highest masterpiece of Love's craftsmanship). Cthulhu's Call (Cthulhu's standard template). Night Demon (Love Craftsmanship's best work in his later years). Dunwich Terror Incident (Hero versus Terror)" Hill. The painting in the room (Creepy), Eric. Dark Night murmured. Crazy Mountain Range. It surpassed the Shadow of Time. These three books were so strange that it was not recommended to read them right away. [Necromancer's Experimental Notes](False dnd) A necromancer who thirsted for knowledge walked on the path of forbidden knowledge with a long-winded dead head. He never stopped and never looked back. Evil schemes, deadly tricks, the collision of wars, the temptation of demons, all of them were revolving under the gears of fate, causing him to be deeply trapped. A hero of justice, a strong heart, a kind help, a heroic sacrifice, and the dazzling brilliance of humanity. How would a mage who studied death choose between good and evil? It was a story of encounter, adventure, and growth. "How are you going to affect the world? You are just a speck of dust in the tide of history." PS: This book has no system, no level, the protagonist does not transmigrate, the combat and spell system mainly draws on the rules of the fifth edition of the dnd, but there are a lot of magical changes and village rules for the world background. 3:"Love Letter Is Not allowed in the Exorcism Notes": This book is quite good. 4."Mysterious Nightmare": A gray wave where machinery and mystery coexist, a strange mystery where dreams and reality crisscross, the gods whisper in the darkness, and humans survive in desperate situations... The gears of fate had already turned! Who can recast yesterday's glory? 5."Gradually Insane": In the bustling crowd, amidst the crazy and sick cheers! He Liang stood on the high platform surrounded by ten thousand people, using his feet to step on the rotten wooden chair. He smiled as he looked at the burly man who was tied to the chair and stained with mud, constantly twisting his body… The other party was struggling. I almost wanted to run away first. He Liang chose to ignore it and pulled the buzzing diesel chainsaw in his hand. "It's okay. Relax." "You have to believe me. I'm really a good person..." "Servant of Crimson": It updates slowly, but it's a rather exciting fantasy novel. It has a light novel style, and the words and sentences are more mature. It can immerse people. 7."Death Gap": In your daily life, do you suddenly feel like you're being watched at some point? Please rest assured. Most of the time, this was just an illusion. However, there were occasionally special circumstances. This feeling might come from those evil creatures hidden deep in the gaps. They were secretly spying on you. The gap could exist anywhere, from the mirror in the hotel room, the crack in the wall of the hospital, the ear of rice in the farmland, or... your closet. There was no need to be afraid. Peeping through the gap was just peeping. The existence hiding inside would not be able to cause any harm to you. Unless, one day, these gaps expanded. …… Martial arts were the best in the world, and the Grandmasters of Combat fought to climb to the peak of strength. In the seemingly flourishing world, the gaps that were everywhere were quietly expanding. This was the experience of a young man who had transmigrated, drawing power from the curse, fighting with the creature in the gap, and seeking life from death. 8."Demon Hunter of the Kingdom of Steam": The mechanical armor roared in the white steam. The wind from the new era, mixed with the high temperature of the steam, seemed to completely blow away the mystery of the Taoist skills of the old era. Before the day of real revolution and reckoning, people were still sleeping peacefully in shallow ignorance, just like countless years in the past. Crippled gods, beliefs, Daoist techniques, gunpowder, and foreigners were all piled up on a small continent. And what did all of this have to do with Mu Jiu Ge? He just wanted to retire. 9."Shadow of Death":[No. 237]... Everything is normal (Joined: 2023/9/29 Words: 20,000) 10. Legend of the Mud Dragon: In the Barbaric Era, Demons Rampaged, and Life Was in a Calamity. The hero who shot the sun was eaten by the remaining two golden crows, the elite guards fed the blood and flesh of mortals to the Blood Sea, the Buddhas outside the Western Heaven were restless, and the wild monsters who claimed to be gods swallowed the incense of human souls. In ancient times, the Jade Emperor came into being, created the Heavenly Court, subdued all demons, and granted him the throne. From then on, demons and devils were extinct, and the world was clear. No one heard of demons and monsters eating people. In recent years, when the Jade Emperor passed away, the world was in chaos and demons returned. In this chaotic world, countless cults surfaced, heroes and villains appeared, and at the same time… The true dragon that had disappeared had returned. Chapter 11:"The Savior Is Busy Forking": Duan Zhihao was a veteran transmigrator. Before "transmigrating to another world" was so common, he had already been summoned by the other world to become a hero and even saved the world. In the end, after he returned to his home plane, he quickly received another "invitation." Then, he transmigrated again, saved another plane, and returned to his home again… In terms of resume, Duan Zhihao could be considered an excellent "savior of the other world." However, now that transmigration had become more and more common, his identity as a savior was naturally not as rare as it had been in the past. However, the young people nowadays were different from Duan Zhihao. They could become rich people, landlords, or even chat group owners and live video owners, but none of them wanted to be saviors. Therefore, he had to save so many planes, but he didn't care. Even the homeworld itself did not want him to save it. In all sorts of ways, the saviors were busy forking! As a result, Duan Zhihao, who was constantly forking, headed to a certain plane that was forking in order to stop the forking itself. Then, he would attend the funeral of his savior, which would definitely cause a split. "Abyssal Wanderer":"Abyssal Wanderer" is an amazing novel. The writing style and concept are excellent, and it brings great reading enjoyment. The author was outstanding in character creation, especially in the role of Booker, the commander of the organization. He had gone through many changes and displayed a very three-dimensional image. The development of the entire story was coherent and reasonable. The character's behavior was in line with the character's position. Even the cheat could be perfectly integrated into the background setting. The integrity and rationality of the work could be seen, and it was even better than the mechanical god mode. The background setting was grand and deep, and the setting was novel and systematic. The overall painting style was unified and full of cyber flavor. The text style was unified, and it was quite compatible with the overall atmosphere of the work. Overall, this was a novel that was worth recommending. 13."The Divers Under the High Wall": Humans born inside the high wall covet everything outside the wall. In the year 63 of the Pendulous Calendar, the inside of the wall was shrouded in black fog. Humans were struggling on isolated islands at sea, fearing the monsters in the fog under the protection of the light of Freud's lamppost. The lunatics who actively walked through the darkness and brought hope to mankind were called the Deep Dwellers. "Mad Immortal": Decisive Killing Without a Female Lead, Same Series as the Author's previous books, Different Protagonists, Book Shortage. 15:"Long Quenching Steps": Ah You's new book. Strengths: The old author's pen strength is still there. The overall logic of the story structure is clear. There are many foreshadowing at the beginning (there are many holes buried). The supporting characters are not just a face that makes you feel like a tool. The slow pace of the environment and atmosphere makes people feel very immersive. [Disadvantages: Slow pace, not suitable for Qidian's current environment. Fattening is recommended.(But Qidian requires you to read more books to be recommended. Sigh, in order not to die from fattening.)] I can only read the articles I like) Son of the Stars: Hardcore sci-fi novel by the author of I Can See the Status Bar It was still an urban style, but the perspective was both macro and meso. At one point, it was a hot pot with tofu bubbles, and at another point, it was about the downspin of lithium electrons causing the extinction of mankind. Just like the "distant similarities" that touched Hawking, a second ago, he was still sitting in the shop eating and chatting, but suddenly, he was talking about the human gene spiral. It was as if our similar daily lives had suddenly entered the topic of the protagonist, and there was a connection. Unlike "the fingerprints left by a thousand-year-old craftsman a second ago, and the touch of you traveling through time and space a thousand years later", this was a real resonance to the extent that it was terrifying to think about it carefully. In the National Mental Health Development Report, the rate of depression was 24.6%, and a patient with a similar comprehensive immune disease actually had a mental breakdown…This made me worry about my physical health and panic about my mental state…and this was just an amplification of real life. It was true that hardcore sci-fi works were not very likable, but if a work could make sci-fi "smooth and silent," why not give it a try? 17."Cyber Ghost Record": When technology reaches the singularity, the gods will descend. Under its might, demons and monsters followed like shadows. However, fox demons did not absorb human Yang qi, and evil ghosts did not have the heart to devour flesh and blood. You, who had been nibbled away and had no feeling at all. How could he protect his body? It was suspected to be an alternate account because the writing style was so mature that it didn't seem like a newbie... "Abyss Train": Hello passengers, please show your ticket. The train heading to the abyss is about to depart.
