Cursed Soulfire - Soullust

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. In the early days, he couldn’t grasp how or why it happened. All he knew was that a strange system appeared before his eyes every 24 hours, displaying a one minute timer and when that countdown ended, he had no choice but to hunt a soul to survive or he dies. 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. Slowly, his humanity slipped away. Morality faded as he killed more soul making his blue soul to a dark soul with endless suffering. What remained was something else. He became a demon wearing a human shell.

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.
