Why do people get excited when they see a falling star? Why do they excitedly ask their friends to make a wish? Don't they know they shouldn't place their hopes on such a thing? It is nothing more than a star that has lost its life and luster. To fulfill young girls' foolish fantasies at the expense of a heavenly body, just how cold and ruthless whoever made this superstition is? Why does a star have to fall to grant wishes? Don't they know even stars have yearnings, too? ... more>>

Standing on the stage and loved and worshipped by thousands, Julia felt cold and alone. She was basked in light while the rest of the world was veiled in the dark. In her eyes, there was no mirth. In her heart, there was nothing but emptiness. Looking back, all her sacrifices, blood and tears paved her way to where she was now. But in the end, was it worth it?

In a warm, sunny room, Erik stood in front of his students. With a warm smile and gentle voice, he read verses through verses of poetry with passion. He leafed through the pages gently like a man caressing his lover. His voice drifted into the gentle afternoon, making young girls' cheeks blush. He was oblivious of his effect on their young hearts for all he cared for was literature. His world basked in the soft, afternoon light, was simply perfect.

Two people in two different worlds... If one day their paths crossed, would sparks fly? <<less

“So long as there have been humans there have been others, and with this co-existence has come unions between us. The offspring of these many possible unions are collectively called ‘demi-human’. Half Human; Half Something Else.”

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

The main character Kevin was accused of a murder,
Kevin pleaded his innocence as best as he could but all evidence seems to be going against him and his statements ... more>>

Not having enough evidence to lock him up just yet, the police put Kevin in house arrest with an ankle monitor

His situation having had reached the public,Kevin was fired from his job as a college teacher

Kevin did not think much of losing his job due to him already being a rich kid with a lot of dead daddy’s money

So why exactly is a rich kid with endless daddy’s money doing with a tiring job such as teaching?

Simple, out of boredom, to Kevin Boredom is a deadly disease

Especially now with an ankle monitor limiting his actions and destinations

That was until the day Kevin can only wish he had his boredom days back

One day Kevin was looking through his parents old antiques and found a strange device with a 17 symbol.

Curious Kevin reached out to touch it suddenly blacking out

Waking up again Kevin came to realize he now had some sorta of mysterious teaching system that would kill him if he does not do what it tell him.

(Find a classroom with students in the next 24 hours are your heart gives out and dies)

Where I’m I suppose to find a classroom of students?!

What kinda crazy person would leave a teacher with an ankle monitor alone in a class filled with students?!

To Kevin after seeing the first mission,he had already accepted death.

As a way to try and clear his mind he decided to take a look around one of the many properties his parents left behind for him after their passing

The abandoned school, this school was abandoned because a fire accident happened that ended up killing an entire class

My father had ownership over this school and for some reason refused to sell it after the chaos subsided

Taking a step into the classroom where the accident happened,the system rang through my head

(Congratulations!, you had found a classroom with students
Name of the class:233,ghost class)

Before I could register anything my head started ringing and my eyes blackened for a second

Coming back to my normal state a looked at in front of me

What was first a silent broken down burned class was suddenly filled with bloody burned creepy students

“Good morning teacher” <<less
