They called her Nine — a number, not a name. A child raised in shadows, forged in blood, and baptized in silence. In the broken kingdom of Varelia, children are trained not to live, but to kill. For when the Winter comes, only weapons survive.... more>>

But Nine is more than a weapon. Beneath her skin lies a secret buried by gods, and a soul touched by something ancient... and burning.

Across fractured kingdoms and beneath crumbling skies, a bastard prince plots in silence. Hidden behind wide eyes and false weakness, he seeks a flower that blooms only in death — and the blood of a god but god's are dead. When every Child swore to protect the great wall, he swore to break it.

When the creed sends its young assassins beyond the wall to hunt monsters of the long night, betrayals unfold, truths awaken, and destinies clash.

Because some flames refuse to be extinguished.
And some monsters… wear human faces.

Sinopsis: '''(a somewhat a crossover fanfic/original story mix hybrid)
"Somehow got myself inserted into existence in some cult ritual gone wrong in a world with... more>> multiple secret societies with all sorts of agendas, and the most concerning thing i have to deal with is my school records. life truly is a giant bitch." -this book protagonist, while working on their homework.
basically, got to many ideas in my head and i need to let them out. so, if that absurd story interest you, hello there, welcome, and enjoy yourself. If not, the go and read the stories of other people you like, it's not like I hold you at gunpoint to read THIS terrible story. '''
the cover is just there because of my OCD, no relation to the story whatsoever, so feel free to ignore it.
ps. I'm STILL a terrible writer, so still expects a mother-load of cliché, cringe, and terrible writings. Critics and advise are welcome. And I am also the world worst typo, so keyboard warriors, have fun correcting me in the comment section.
also, the story will be a bit vague in describing something/someone(mostly because, again, second time writing, and also, I'm a bit bad at describing things in general), so use those imagination or whatever tool to help for a somewhat clear picture of things.
obviously, all story rights are reserved towards the original owners. i own nothing, as this story is a fanfiction of sorts. the plot and mc are mine, but everything else do belong to the original owners in some way, shape, and/or form. i may not know be the makers but i sure as shit going to give them credits and rights as the original owners, so don't say i never said it. <<less
