Modern World: Little House of Horror

Xian_Suming
An atheist scientist suddenly found himself embroiled in a smear campaign after proving a theory that could fundamentally alter our understanding of the world. The proof of this theory seriously threatened the interests of powerful groups around the globe: the energy sector and the religious establishment. But he didn't give up. Driven by a thirst for revenge, he searched the world until he found a very special book. Ten years later, he exacted his revenge. He publicly released the technology that could make energy free for everyone, changing the paradigm of society. He then personally infiltrated a meeting of the religious group's high command, immolating himself and destroying the group's headquarters in Boot Nation, plunging their religion into chaos by making public secret documents of the world's most influential faith. His only regret was not being able to drag those energy capitalists down with him, along with the hypocritical saints who now screamed around him. As bursts of a dark substance tore through his body, he clutched the book to his chest—the book that had helped him exact his revenge—with a smile and simply uttered a thank you. To his surprise, as he closed his eyes to plunge into the eternal abyss, his vision filled with infinite lights of infinite colors. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a place that was both unknown and familiar. But the most surprising thing wasn't that he was still alive, but that his body had changed.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
