System's Feeder: If I Don't Obey, It Devours Me

—WEBNOVEL SPIRITY AWARDS 2026 ENTRY— [You Have a New Quota!] Hello, Servant.   It's time to feed your Lord.   You understand, don't you? Blood Quota — 0/????? ml   Time Remaining: 04:00:00 [WARNING]  If the required quota is not met, the automatic consumption protocol will activate.   The System is hungry. To feed itself, it will devour a random part of your body. --- When rifts tore open between Earth and the Underworld, humanity found salvation in the Sentinels—warriors bonded to magical rings, gifted with the power to fight back the endless tide of monsters. Blake should have been one of the greatest. Born into a legendary bloodline. Raised in privilege. Expected to inherit a legacy of power. But Blake has a problem. He can't use magic. And worse—he's terrified. Of monsters. Of pain. Of the very combat that defines what it means to survive. When his father delivers an ultimatum that will exile him from everything he's ever known, Blake is forced into a final exam he has no hope of passing. Then the monsters come. His team dies. And in his final moments, as something monstrous devours him whole, a crimson window appears in the darkness: [Do you accept the Blood Pact?] Now, Blake is no longer human. He is a Servant—bound to an ancient entity that feeds on blood and cares nothing for his survival. Every few days, a quota appears. Every quota demands thousands of milliliters of blood. If he fails to deliver, the System doesn't negotiate. It takes payment from his own body. Piece by piece. While the world celebrates Sentinels as humanity's protectors, Blake must become something else entirely—a hunter in the shadows, stealing blood to survive another day. In a world where heroes fight monsters to save lives… Blake must kill them to keep his own. --- How much of yourself would you sacrifice to survive? How far would you go when failure means losing everything—one piece at a time?

When the Stars Refuse to Remember

The world is governed by the Astral Record—a cosmic sea of memory that inscribes every life, every event, and every choice into existence. Cultivators do not absorb qi. They inscribe their will upon reality itself, borrowing authority from the stars to alter fate. But something is wrong. Entire cities have begun to vanish. Histories are quietly rewritten. And some people… are being forgotten. Shen Lian is one of them. No matter where he goes, people forget his face within minutes. Written records fade. Even conversations dissolve mid-sentence. The world smooths over his existence as if correcting a mistake. Yet Shen Lian remembers everything. Especially the day his mother was erased from reality. He is the only proof she ever lived. When Shen Lian accidentally erases a man during a street confrontation, he discovers the forbidden Blank Scripture—a path that does not inscribe existence… but devours memory. This act draws the attention of powerful factions: The Celestial Scriptorium, who secretly edit history to maintain stability. The Inkless Monastery, who believe all inscription is corruption. And the Inverted Court, led by the serene and terrifying Lord Mo Jian—a man who believes suffering itself should be erased from existence. To Mo Jian, Shen Lian is not a threat. He is proof that the world is flawed. As Shen Lian journeys deeper into the Silent Archive—the metaphysical ocean of all memory—he uncovers a devastating truth: He once erased someone he loved. And he doesn’t remember why. Beside him stands Su Qinghe, a prodigy Star Archivist who can remember him—but only when she stands close to death. Their slow-burning bond becomes both anchor and weakness in a world where memory is power. When reality begins to fracture and the Astral Record deteriorates, Shen Lian faces an impossible choice: Restore the one person he loves most— Or preserve a broken world that is trying desperately to forget him. Because in a universe built on memory… To be remembered is to have power. To be forgotten is to become divine. And the stars are beginning to decide which he will become.

Reborn in 1958: From Famine Girl to Family Pillar

Rebirth + Era + 1960's - Femine + System Space + Military + Powerful Male protogonist At seventy-eight years old, she died with nothing but regret. Only at the end of her life did she learn the cruel truth— the world she had struggled through was nothing more than a novel. And she… was cannon fodder. Her father, once a Squad leader, was falsely branded a traitor and executed. Her three brilliant elder brothers were crushed one by one, stepping stones for the novel’s so-called “female lead.” Her family’s blood paved the road to the heroine’s glory. She could only watch helplessly as the heroine’s family prospered while hers was destroyed. Powerless. Broken. Too late. But fate was not finished with her. A falling flowerpot ended her life— and opened her eyes once more. 1958. She is thirteen years old again. Her parents are alive. Her brothers are alive. Everything has not yet begun. In the turbulent 1960s era, she awakens with memories of her previous life and an unexpected System Space that grants her resources and hidden advantages. This time, she will not be cannon fodder. She will not allow her family to be sacrificed. She will not let the so-called heroine step on their corpses to rise. Amid famine, political storms, and the shifting tides of the era, she quietly builds strength, gathers supplies within her mysterious space, and protects her family step by step. And standing in the shadows of the military compound is a powerful, sharp-eyed man— a future commander whose destiny was never meant to intertwine with hers. In her previous life, he stood at the peak of power. In this life, he watches her change everything. This time— She will become the author of her own fate. PS-: The Story is taking place in the parallel world, so although the historical events are same, characters are fiction.
