THE IMMORTALS' CONQUEST 2022
It was so easy to be misunderstood and villainized when you're a demon, even one as nice and harmless as Lifen. As if that was not enough, she was captured and bound into a painting! The temporary bind became somewhat permanent due to unforeseen circumstances.
After decades of confinement, a ray of hope came in the form of a young handsome demon hunter. It was his job to catch, reform and evaluate demons. He could also determine if a demon had repented enough to be released or if not, executed.
Will Lifen be able to convince the demon hunter and justify her past 'vile' actions? Will she be able to finally tell her side of the story? Or will he wield his power of judgement for justice and rid the world of yet another evil demon?
-----
Prompt #10 The Rooster - The Other Side
Demons have always been villainized in mythical tales. But what if we have never been told the other side of the story?

But things are certainly not what they seem and this initially simple-looking job becomes a saga of intrigue, from a little village to the highest realms of power.

⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽𝒾'𝓁𝓁 𝒷𝑒 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ (complete) Rumi thought Jinu was gone forever-until a message pulls her back into the world of demons and danger. To save him, they must share a soul for seven days, stay in constant contact, and survive a game designed to break them. If they fail, the world falls. If they win... she still might lose everything. Rumi's been alone for a while, and all she can think about is Jinu. When she finds a way to reach him, she travels into the Honmoon itself, and strikes a deal with the demon king. With the slightly reluctant help of the Saja Boys, Rumi, Jinu, Zoey, and Mira work together to create a new album to seal the Honmoon for good. What they don't know is that Rumi's still spinning lies. All rights to Sony Animation and Kpop Demon Hunters franchise. I own nothing but the storylines. The characters, photos, and pre-established plot lines do not belong to me. Made the cover with Canva. I do own Ellie, an OC who comes in later. But in all honesty, if Sony wanted to use her in the sequel, go ahead, lol, that's out of my wildest dreams. This is purely for fun and isn't canon. PS: This story is Zoeystery and Rujinu!! That'll be worked in a lot as you go! And there'll be no spice, just so y'all are aware I'm keeping it family friendly. Doesn't mean there won't be death and sad things. Because I guarantee there will be sad things. And cliffhangers. Thanks for reading! 𝚡𝚘𝚡𝚘, 𝚙𝚞𝚛𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚙𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚜Complete

Vile Dominion
Disclaimer: This is my own work, if a character seem to be similar, it may be due to a coincidence or may also be because I was inspired of their work. I tried my best to make a unique content. In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide-navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world's control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)

Until one day she has no where left to run and everything she has been fleeing from swallows her whole. She finds herself held in a cell alongside humans, made to fight or die as if their lives have no worth.

I once loved him. The quiet, noble Lan Zhan. The man who held my hand like I was something fragile. Sacred. Now he touches me like I'm a possession. His hands burn. His words bleed. His silence screams. He is not the man I loved. He is what love became... when it lost its soul. He says I'm his. Not in poetry. Not in passion. But in chains. He whispers he would burn for me. But I see it in his eyes: He already has. And now he wants to set me on fire too. There's nowhere left to run. Because he doesn't want my love. He wants my surrender. My ruin. My everything. "You'll never leave me again, Wei Ying," he says, brushing blood from my lips with a kiss. And I believe him. Because monsters don't lie. They just love wrong. **Lan Wangji was once silent, noble, pure. Now? He is silence twisted into madness. Obsession wrapped in beauty. A fallen god with only one prayer-Wei Ying.
