"Soon, System Tearstone Will Break You On The Marble Floor" — System Tearstone theme song Centuries ago, a new kind of curse was created. It was named System Tearstone—or simply Crimson Heart. It was made to punish a fallen god. But the curse had no form. Only a red gem floating in dark fog. Until it met a perfectly broken soul—Kirihito Orohana, later known as Wèi Yīlíng. The curse roamed for half an eternity, bound to revenge and its own mission: to win the Violet Throne and become a god itself. But cool ice always melts. Will he never fall for anyone and claim the throne? Or will he remove his own existence—by destroying the curse, or by becoming the full Violet Gem once more? Welcome to System Tearstone— where soft beginnings lie, and descent is inevitable… and beautiful. Author's Note: The beginning may feel soft—almost deceptively gentle. Please do not be fooled. System Tearstone is my beloved monster. Written without safety, without shortcuts, carved straight from bone and breath. It is a story about devotion that scars, about gods who fail, and about choosing to feel—even when feeling hurts. If you choose to read this, you become one of my Tearstones—something fragile, something precious, kept close through both tears and quiet smiles. This is not a game system. It is an emotionally cursed one. Announcement: This book's Version 2 is coming soon! Please do not be mad at your little author for being messy here—this was just the first time. The next one will be better, I promise ♡ But I cannot guarantee that Version 2 will be my last try. I might rewrite this book many times, in many ways. So you will meet them again and again—better than before. Extremely sorry for being irregular. But I will try my best to give you chapters that feel satisfying and seen.

The Genius Wizard of the Magic Tower Bound by Limits, Verden. Despite having a brilliant mind, his innate magical power was insignificant. He was betrayed by someone he trusted, who stole his thesis, and he ended up as an experimental subject in the Magic Tower. In the face of power stronger than his own, his genius mind alone could do nothing. “So, I must become stronger.” For revenge and survival. He tenaciously endured and endured again, establishing a new theoretical system to defy his nature. And finally, he completed an unprecedented, groundbreaking theory in history. Tomorrow, I will break the limits.

> “In the beginning, there was no Dao, no Heaven, no Law—only the Body.” Long before the first immortal soared beyond the skies, before sword saints carved mountains and alchemists bottled stars, there walked a man whose body alone defied fate. He was never named by the heavens. So the world called him the Hegemon. He did not refine Qi, nor cultivate the soul. While others meditated, he fought beasts with bare fists. When others chanted mantras, he shattered mountains to temper his bones. In the desolate wastelands of the Nine Realms, he forged nine cauldrons — not of metal, but of flesh, blood, and soul. Each one refined his body, transcending mortal limits. With every breakthrough, a cauldron rose from within him, roaring with elemental fury. The first let him tear iron with his fingers. The ninth let him punch through the sky. The Hegemon reached the peak where even Celestial Emperors bowed… and then he vanished. Some say he challenged the Heavenly Dao itself. Others claim he became a living law of the universe. What remained was his legacy, sealed within a tomb hidden beneath reality itself — the manual of body supremacy: Nine Cauldron Hegemon Body Arts. For ten thousand years, no one could inherit it. Until now.

I transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent, where martial souls reign supreme. However, my awakened martial soul turned out to be completely useless, without even a trace of soul power. Destined to be an ordinary and insignificant person for life. Fortunately, a cheat system activated at the right time. As long as I crafted a persona for myself, I could turn that persona's power into my own. If I fabricated the persona of having twin martial souls, then once everyone believed I had them, I would truly possess twin martial souls. If I created the persona of becoming a god in the future, then as long as the world believed it I would become a god! Thank you for the support, friends.
