RISE OR FALL!... more>>

Summers end heralds the start of another school year in Marlia City, the renowned Academia Capital of the World. Southwest of Requiem School for Girls sits another prestigious school, Phoenix Military Academy. A school originally designed to train its students into full-fledged mages with the intent of drafting them into wars with other nations now encourages its graduates to choose their own career paths.

Among the aspiring freshmen are Emi Suzuki, a down-to-earth and inventive teenage girl from northern Empyrea, and Gayle T. Mazin, a boy of noble birth and a hotheaded speedster. Due to a rocky start, the two teens make an effort to stay out of each other's way, only to find themselves crossing paths on multiple occasions. They're soon met with a situation where a classmate's life is dependent on their cooperation. Can these two polar opposites put aside their differences and work together? <<less

a spine-tingling journey into the heart of horror as we unearth the enigmatic legend of the Enfield Monster. Join the McDaniel family as they confront the unexplained and plunge headfirst into a nightmare that shook Enfield, Illinois, and captured the nation's fascination.... more>>

In the dead of night, the McDaniel children's innocent claims of a lurking, otherworldly creature sent shivers down their father Henry McDaniel's spine. But when strange scratching sounds pierced the night, and a three-legged, pink-eyed entity emerged from the shadows, their world spiraled into a realm of terror beyond imagination.

The hair-raising encounter triggered a series of eerie events: unexplained footprints, attacks on livestock, and bizarre sightings by townsfolk. This chilling chronicle of the unknown soon transcended local whispers to become a national sensation, with newspapers, radio stations, and television networks delving into the sinister tale.

Despite skepticism, the McDaniel family clung to their harrowing account, believing they had encountered something beyond this world. As the weeks turned into months, the creature's malevolent presence persisted, fueling the relentless quest for answers.

A team of zoologists offered a rational explanation, attributing the sightings to misidentified animals. Yet, the locals stood their ground, insisting that no earthly creature could leap 80 feet in three bounds or possess those eerie, glowing eyes.

The relentless onslaught of sightings drove local authorities to seek help from the Illinois State Police and the Department of Natural Resources. But the mysterious entity remained elusive, leaving behind a trail of bafflement and dread.

Years passed, and the Enfield Monster evolved into a cornerstone of local folklore—an enigma never definitively solved or disproven. Was it a collective hallucination, an elaborate hoax, or a genuine brush with the supernatural? The enigmatic tale endures, a testament to the enigmatic mysteries lurking in the shadows.

In this gripping exploration, we delve deep into the heart of darkness and the resilience of belief. Join us on a quest for answers, as we navigate the blurred line between reality and the macabre. Dare you venture into the shadows in the scary night and face the unknown? <<less

Tyra Blood-Fire didn’t want just any crew.... more>>

Bandits never built Great houses. They have no structure, organization, nor legacy. They had few tactics in the field and little design for the future. Worst of all they had no loyalty beyond filling their own pockets. A bandit clan was a pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps, willing to bite the hand if it dared to feed them.

Growing up in Balmora, Tyra knew that the Great Houses of her world were built on blood. Yet as an orphan child and a Human amongst Dark Elves, her concept of family was one forged from experience. It wasn't the bandits and cutthroats, but the loners and outcasts she identified with most. So when she picked out the crew that would become the Crimson Dirks, she sought out the qualities that best defined herself.

What she wanted were survivors. <<less

Aria is the ultimate duelist. If it is a fair one versus one, then she will not lose unless there are extenuating circumstances. From the moment she was born, her talent towards combat was unmatched. She only needs to see something once to replicate it and she will never “forget” something once she learns it. It is the level of talent that has made countless prodigies across the heavens to cry rivers of blood. Imagine coming up with a technique after years and years of hard work only to have someone use a better version of it after witnessing it once. ... more>>

If there is one thing that she struggles with, it would be her blood. She has inherited both her father’s as well as her mother’s . When it runs hot, it is like an unbearable itch that won’t be relieved until she causes trouble. It is a common phenomenon with the demonfolk (youkai, spirits, phantom, specters, etc.), but when Aria runs wild entire sects might be brought to run in a single night.

Ultimately, Aria made the choice to leave her homeworld and venture through the heavens. She is a self described scholar seeking to explore the various secret wonders that exist. If one thing interests her more than others, it would be the fragments of chaos scattered across the universe that give glimpses of what the universe used to be.

There was a kingdom. ... more>>

It is called Trinitia, and ruled by a king. It has duchies governed by dukes. And criminals hunted down by hitmen.

Hitmen are legal dwellers in this country. I mean, why wouldn't they be when their king is a psychopath too? He loves blood, of course he'll love those with the same feathers.

Damian Stein was a hitman.

The psycho hitman extraordinaire who mastered using all kinds of pistols and rifles. He's a top butcher too. I mean a top assassin who could use knives of various sizes too. But his life took an unexpected curve when Death saved him from the verge of end, sparing him at the altar of judgement at Purgatory.

But Death wants the favor to be returned.

It was then that Death decided to have Damian Stein as his executioner of evil. In exchange of Damian's services, Death promised to unveil his true destiny, and as he sieve through his path, his hidden past is sewn piece by piece. Is he really just a hitman? Or there's something more from his existence? Is that the reason why Death made him his trump card?

This story is about blood, guns, and everything spice. It's all about jab, kill, survive or die. Be the villain or kill the villain. Find the villain or die. Will Damian survive or die? <<less

For three years, Ulan had been trapped in a lightless grotto after being accused of genocide. The former crown prince was beaten, shunned, and shamed for his actions. Yet, three years later, Engel, the man who had been the leading cause to his imprisonment, had come to his rescue.

Ulan wanted to clear his name.
Engel claimed he wanted to help, although his eyes gleamed brightly.

The Tale of Xevia’s Falling Rain was an old folklore tale of a misfortune plagued crown prince and a maniacal Knight from the Xevia’s Special Battalion who battled to stay in the light, only to fall back down to darkness hand in hand with each other by their side.

There's nothing in your power to do. You have only yourself to blame for being deceived and falling down alongside the sin of pride.

If I would describe the MC's inner personality at the beginning he would be someone that's:
Reckless
Conflicted
Result-Oriented
Emotionally Driven
Pragmatic
Brutal

This isn't gonna be a harem novel, just wanted to get that out there ahead of time.

The MC at beginning is someone who's impulse control has deteriorated severely. A lot of the trouble he gets into is because he's reckless and emotionally-involved in delicate and nuanced situations. However, he usually gets bailed out by his natural gifts and talents which allows him to continue with his carefree attitude... until it inevitably doesn't. I really want to tackle this part of the MC's character and what are the effects this kind of mindset has to an individual and those around them.

Herah War Hej was many things: master artist, zealot teen, and unfortunate participant.... more>>

One thing she was not, was human.

Born in a universe where humanity never appeared, the artist is a Cendreux; one of many dragon-like, conquerors who've turned their backs on their god. She hopes to one day reverse this course and make weapons for her race's planet conquering needs.

Before she can do that, however, Herah must first take part in a deadly game known as Recompense.

Chosen as one of two representative of her universe by her Maker, Norwe, because of her mysterious power known as a Gift, the artist must complete a series of “acts”, each having its own simple but heinous task to accomplish.

If won, she shall be granted a single wish of almost anything she desires.

If lost, the few things she loves will be destroyed.

With this threat hanging over her head, Herah has to grapple with not just entertaining her Maker, but working with the hostile human leading her team and pushing through both sins from the past and the ones she’s committing in the present.

Herah is in for the battle of her life.

But she is a master artist, and Battle is an Art. <<less
