Crowned in Shadow

Lena has always felt... different. The world hums beneath her fingertips. Shadows whisper. And sometimes, golden eyes watch her from the rain. When a strange message appears glowing on her school fence, Lena meets Aiden... a mysterious boy with molten eyes who claims he walks the Veil, the fragile boundary between life and death. He says it's tearing... and only Lena can stop it. Her art becomes her weapon. Her dreams become doorways. And her once-ordinary life shatters as she's thrust into a hidden war between spirits, memory, and fate. But as secrets unravel, trust fractures. Aiden isn’t the only one watching her. Another guardian steps forward... charming, dangerous, and hiding a truth that could twist everything Lena believes. Torn between two guides, hunted by forces from both realms, and armed only with her sketchbook, Lena must choose: who to trust, what to believe, and how much of herself she's willing to lose to protect the world she’s only just begun to see.

"They say the eyes are the window to the soul. But what if your soul isn't human?" Yuki always felt different... too quiet, too distant, too aware of things that shouldn’t exist. But when a strange voice calls him kitsune under a moonlit sky, his world shatters. Awakening powers he can’t control, chased by shadows from a forgotten world, Yuki is thrown into a realm of spirits, mythic creatures, and ancient war. As his true nature begins to surface, so do enemies... and allies... with secrets of their own. This is the beginning of his awakening. And the mythos has only just begun.

"Echoes of the Unknown" is a collection of horror short stories inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. These tales unravel cosmic horrors that awaken mankind's deepest fears of the incomprehensible forces beyond our understanding of the world. Each story follows individuals caught in encounters with unseen entities and ancient symbols that open doors to terror and destruction. From researchers exploring dangerous ruins to ordinary people unknowingly uncovering hidden truths, the protagonists are trapped in unsolvable mysteries and face horrors far beyond their control. Strange occurrences and recurring nightmares signal the approach of an unstoppable cosmic threat. With a tense atmosphere, "Echoes of the Unknown" delves into humanity's helplessness in the vast emptiness of the universe, forcing us to confront the reality that we are but a small part of something far larger and darker. This collection is a tribute to the themes of H.P. Lovecraft, particularly his exploration of the fear of the unknowable and humanity's powerless position in a vast, mysterious cosmos. Many names, concepts, and elements in these stories are directly inspired by Lovecraft’s work, and I wish to acknowledge his profound influence. This collection is not intended to infringe upon his legacy but to pay homage to the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, with all due respect. Any similarities to his original works are intentional and are made in the spirit of tribute and admiration...

Sivis was transported into the game Gandanyir. In a world where nobles monopolize extraordinary powers while commoners, barely better than pigs and dogs, suffer endless torment, he inherited the title of the Evil God. By continuously slaying enemies, Sivis could earn Soul Points, which allowed him to enhance his monsters. Goblin → Elemental Goblin → High-level Goblin. Skeleton Soldier → Skeleton Mage → Bone Dragon. Stone Golem → Fire Demon → Carved Gargoyle. ... In order to strengthen his monsters, Sivis started wars, annexed nations, and slaughtered countless nobles and kings. He also casually gathered numerous helpless commoners, bringing them under his domain system, improving agricultural and industrial technologies, ensuring that these people had enough to eat, teaching them to read, and turning them into the creators of his domain's wealth, which he ruthlessly exploited. But... Sivis had two doubts. First, why is it that his subordinates are always bringing him women? First, it was the Saintess from the Church, then a peerless female knight, followed by a princess from the kingdom, a succubus from hell, an angel from the Holy Hall... Second, why, as an Evil God, are countless people calling him the Savior, the Wise King, and the Benevolent Father of all beings???
