The Artist Who Paints Dungeon - Chapter 67

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel.Excerpt:She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him.Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights.Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly,“ You are my wife.”She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. “I have given you time to gather your emotions.”Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them.“Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb.”“Yes...” Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her?”It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?“ He continued.”Yes,“ Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning?Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality.But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, ”Kiss me.“

Long time ago, the world was ruled by the Primordials — an ancient and powerful race who mastered magic and shaped the land with runes and magic. They built bastions that stood as monuments to their greatness, cities protected by powerful enchantments. But their thirst for even greater power led to disaster. They opened gates to another realm… and unleashed demons.What followed was swift and brutal. The Primordials fought back, but they lost. Their civilization crumbled, their names were erased, and only the magical bastions remained — sealed places protected by forgotten runes that even demons could not cross.Now, demons rule the night. Humanity lives in fear, hiding behind rune-marked walls, unaware of their true origins or how close the world stands to its final collapse.Into this broken world falls Alex — a stranger from another reality. Upon his arrival, he awakens a forbidden power within himself: nature magic and the ability to shapeshift. A gift… and a curse.Magic is forbidden. Hunted. Destroyed. If anyone discovers what he is, he could be executed on the spot. But only through his power does Alex stand a chance of surviving… and fighting back. As he journeys across this dark and ruined land, he begins to unravel secrets long buried, truths about the demons’ origin, and the real reason the world fell.This is a dark fantasy tale of blood, survival, ancient knowledge, and inner transformation. Alex must choose what he will become: a monster, a savior… or something in between.Hello and welcome to everyone who decided to read my first writing attempts!The story you are reading is created in my free time, so new chapters will be released approximately 3-4 times a week. I run my own business, which sometimes makes it difficult to find a moment to sit down and fully focus on writing.I'm a fan of brutal, bloody scenes – the kind that stay in your mind long after you've finished reading. I have a vivid imagination, and when I write, I see each of these fights clearly, as if they were happening right in front of me: torn bodies, blood spraying, guts... none of that sugar-coated fighting.I try to transfer these images from my head to the page with as much intensity as possible, so you can feel the same tension and thrill that I do while writing.I also want to build a sense of horror – especially when it comes to monsters. I'm not interested in easy enemies. These are meant to be creatures you feel before you see them. The kind that stir fear and force the characters into desperate decisions.I hope you'll enjoy these scenes too – brutal, emotional, and full of darkness.As for the plot, I already have a general outline in my head, so there’s a lot of writing ahead of me. In the future, the story may include R18 scenes, but before that, I want to build a solid world and well-developed characters.If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to discuss them, and maybe we can add something interesting to the story!Enjoy the read!

In her previous life, she was a genius in cultivation.

In this life, she is a waste material for cultivation, and there is a strange seal in her body.

The snake and scorpion sister spies on her fiancé, and uses the world’s obscenity to ruin her reputation.

She sneered with astonishment and talent, what a trick! You find a man, and I will find ten men to pay you back… Do you still want to marry Mr. Ruyi after harming someone? There are no doors!

What? Aphrodisiac will die if you don’t understand it for half an hour?

That’s simple, just find a man to solve it, but…why did the man she randomly found turn out to be the prince of Chu State who is under one person and above ten thousand people?

When her fiancé heard that she had lost her virginity, he stopped her with a dark face and asked, “Tell me who the adulterer is. In the prince’s residence, I will reward you with a concubine…” With a disdainful tone like charity.

She bit her lip with a face full of embarrassment, stretched out five slender fingers and pressed down one by one: “One, two, three… Which one do you want me to tell you?”

Poof, the fiancé twitched and vomited blood and fell to the ground!

There is a silent smile on the beautiful face… Whether she is a concubine or a regular one, she doesn’t care. She still wants to seek the supreme immortality, and she has to untie the strange seal in her body, so she has no time to marry!

Does the Piaomiao Sect of the first immortal sect accept disciples whose meridians are blocked?

It doesn’t matter, she has countless high-level panacea, which can be eaten as jelly beans.

A certain woman with silver bills around her waist and a gold bar in her hand smiled and took out bottle after bottle of panacea and placed them in front of the master.

The head was dumbfounded: Cough, how many do you have?

A certain woman smiled like a flower and easily took out several bottles again.

After the head of the sect was stunned, he smiled happily: I have never accepted an apprentice for a hundred years, and today I fell in love with you and accepted you as a closed disciple!

There are outstanding people in Penglai Xiandao, and they only produce handsome men and beautiful women. What? The person who was stunned by her injection was her second senior brother?

It’s okay, we didn’t know each other back then, but now we are brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters should be friendly to each other, one needle can make the senior brother flourish again.

It is said that the eldest brother is facing the wind from the tree, elegant and unrestrained, and he is a match made in heaven with the fairy-like fifth senior sister, but why does he ignore the fifth senior sister and discuss the way of dual cultivation with her instead?
