After the forced love, I drove the demon god insane

She was once the most inconspicuous little goddess in the divine realm—silently guarding him for a thousand years, all for that Demon God who never spared her a single glance. To seal him away, she willingly gave up her divine heart, falling from godhood to mortality, just to grant him ten thousand years of peaceful slumber. But what she didn’t expect—was that the first thing he did upon awakening wasn’t gratitude, nor destroying the world... It was dragging her straight into a wedding hall, sneering as he said, “Seal me? Then spend a lifetime paying for it—with your life.” Before the red wedding veil was even lifted, he had already launched the hellish "Love Trial Arc": She became a stand-in for his former lover, yet he domineeringly declared, “You’re not her, but you drive me crazier than she ever did.” She was made a pawn in palace intrigue, yet he laughed as he overturned the empire, “I’ll give you the world—just promise you’ll only look at me.” She tried to escape, so he shattered the Three Realms, “Run, and I’ll destroy the world.” Her: “Are you insane?” The Demon God flips the table: “Yes. But only for you.”

Note: this is a novel I write in my free time, so it will not be consistent like my other novels. The upload schedule will be pretty random but expect at least one chapter a week.

Just like there is silence before a storm, the same way : before your world crumbles you will be gifted a peaceful life for a certain period. The same happens to Akondo, who lived a truly peaceful life… until his 18th birthday. That’s when everything changed. That’s when he realized he was cursed. A strange power awakened within him. A power he never asked or chose, the ability to eat people’s souls calling this power is wrong actually, it is a curse because it came with a deadly cost. To survive, he had to consume a soul every 24 hours by killing. And to kill, his soul had to enter others’ bodies to tear their souls apart from the inside. Before he even understood what was happening, his mother became the first victim. His own hands and power became the reason for his mother’s death.

As the days passed, and the kills piled up, Akondo found himself falling deeper into the darkness. To survive the curse of Soulfire, he had to keep feeding his soul with others soul.

Urban Ascension: The Last Heir of Heaven

Jin Hao is just another nobody in the sprawling megacity of Neo-Aurion, where power rules everything—and everyone. By day, he’s a cleaner at a shady underground auction house, scraping together enough credits to survive. By night, he dreams of something more… though he never imagined “more” would involve getting branded by a mysterious jade pendant and unlocking a System that screams **“Heir of Heaven’s Flame detected.”** Suddenly, Jin Hao isn’t invisible anymore. The artifact marks him as the last heir to a bloodline erased a century ago—a bloodline feared by the hidden clans and sects that pull the strings of the modern world. Now, CEOs are cultivators, politicians moonlight as sect leaders, and corporate empires rise or fall based on secret duels fought in shadowy arenas. And Jin Hao? He’s public enemy number one. Armed with forbidden techniques, ancestral memories, and terrifying new abilities unlocked through the *Heaven’s Wrath System*, Jin Hao steps into this cutthroat world of cultivation and conspiracy. But survival won’t be easy—not when powerful enemies are gunning for him, arrogant young masters see him as an insect to crush, and even allies might have ulterior motives. From dodging assassins sent by ancient clans to slapping down entitled rich kids who think their money makes them untouchable, Jin Hao learns quickly: in this world, strength speaks louder than words. With his sharp tongue, ruthless instincts, and growing mastery over Qi, he climbs the ladder of power one face-slap at a time. But revenge isn’t his only goal. As Jin Hao uncovers the truth about his family’s downfall—and the dark secrets behind the world’s hidden hierarchy—he realizes there’s more at stake than just settling old scores. This is about taking back what was stolen—not just for himself, but for everyone crushed underfoot by those who hoard power.
