Tears Of The Smilling Exorcist

YanYeXin
Lìngxiāo was hired to kill the ghost. Instead, he married it. Life needs only two things: the thing you love, and the obsession to keep it with you. A young, smiling exorcist—whose lips have forgotten how to show pain or anger—roams the land with two aims: to save common people from darkness, and to solve the mystery of his own father's death. A death for which he is blamed. Then he is summoned back to his hometown, Yún Xi—now cursed—to cleanse it of an unknown Red Robe Ghost. But fate had other plans. He did not only uncover the mystery behind the ghost… but the mystery behind himself. The ghost became his tears—long forgotten how to fall. Their story remains untold. But his journey to find his identity does not end there. And that is how he goes where he belongs—even if he never knew it existed. A side novel set in the System Tearstone realm. Author's Note: Extremely sorry for being irregular. But I will try my best to give you chapters that feel satisfying and seen. This is a side novel—a thread in the larger Tearstone world. It stands alone, but it also carries the echo of something bigger. I hope you enjoy the journey.♡

Bloodbond:Rise of a Monarch

In a world where demonic gates tear open reality and hunters risk their lives to protect humanity, survival depends on strength. Jay Verma has none. At least, that’s what everyone believes. 26 years old and ranked among the weakest trainees, Jay lives quietly under the shadow of a world constantly at war. While elite hunters rise to fame and fortune, he struggles just to keep up. His only constant support is his best friend, Arjun — the one person who believes Jay will one day stand among the strongest. But everything changes during a mission gone wrong. A high-level demon appears where none should exist. Chaos erupts. Hunters fall. And when Arjun sacrifices himself to save Jay, something inside Jay breaks. Or awakens. As Jay bleeds for the first time in true desperation, a mysterious system manifests before him — the Demon Diary. It does not congratulate him. It does not call him chosen. It delivers a simple truth: “You are alive because Hell refuses to let you die.” Jay discovers that his blood is not entirely human. He is the son of Aviraj, a name whispered in both the human world and Hell itself — a fallen figure tied to the throne of the Abyss. Half human. Half demon. Entirely forbidden. Unlike ordinary systems that reward effort with clean progression, the Demon Diary demands sacrifice. Every increase in strength costs something — blood, lifespan, emotional restraint, fragments of humanity. Jay’s wounds heal unnaturally fast. His aura grows heavier. His presence begins attracting powerful demons who recognize his bloodline. Some want him dead. Others want him crowned. As Jay grows stronger, he is forced to fight not only external enemies but the fear within himself. He does not crave power — he fears it. Because every battle pushes him closer to becoming the very thing humanity hunts. When a mysterious figure known as Ansh Chopra — The Black Punisher intervenes during a catastrophic battle, Jay’s existence draws the attention of higher forces. Ansh recognizes what others do not: Jay is not just a hybrid. He is an Heir. Meanwhile, Hell is not silent. The Demon Court begins to move. Generals debate whether to eliminate Jay or bring him home. Because Bloodbound is not merely a title. It is a succession. As large-scale gates destabilize the world and political tensions rise within the Hunters Association, Jay becomes a symbol of unease. Hunters begin questioning him. Civilians begin fearing him. Demons begin kneeling before him. But Jay rejects the throne. He refuses to become a ruler of monsters. And that defiance triggers war. Season by season, Jay evolves — unlocking new stages of Bloodbound power: regeneration beyond reason, dominion over blood energy, and eventually partial access to Abyssal authority. Yet the more he grows, the harder it becomes to remain human. The central question of Bloodbound is not: “Can Jay become the strongest?” It is: “How much of himself is he willing to lose to protect a world that fears him?” In the end, Jay must make a choice: Inherit the Abyss and rule Hell. Destroy the demonic hierarchy and shatter the throne. Or carve a third path — one that neither humans nor demons believe possible. But every choice demands blood. And Jay Verma’s blood is bound to destiny.
