On a storm-soaked night, the Unezugawa District is consumed by devils born from humanity’s deepest fears. Seventeen-year-old Haruto watches helplessly as the Abandonment Devil—an entity forged from the terror of being left alone—slaughters his parents before his eyes. Yet when the monster corners him, something is wrong. Haruto does not tremble. He does not beg. He feels… nothing. His emptiness draws the attention of something far worse. In a flash of crimson, the legendary Crimson Devil appears—an ancient entity once believed to have nearly triggered the apocalypse centuries ago before being sealed by exorcists. Fascinated by the boy who cannot fear, it offers Haruto a contract: Power beyond human limits… In exchange for a precious memory each time he uses it. Haruto accepts. But there is a truth no one knows. The Crimson Devil dwelling inside him was once meant to begin the end of the world. Instead of destroying humanity, it chooses something unthinkable—it spares the brave and forms a covenant with one. To prevent future catastrophes and hunt the very devils born from mankind’s fear, Haruto joins the Exorcists—the same organization that once fought against the Crimson Devil itself. Now feared by devils… Suspected by humans… And slowly losing the memories that make him who he is… Haruto walks the thin line between salvation and annihilation. Because if the devil inside him ever changes its mind— The apocalypse will not be stopped.

Haruko could hardly believe it — she had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic female-oriented novel. And she had become a cannon fodder villainess! Facing a death flag right at the start, Haruko decisively transformed into a yandere loli and confessed to the female lead. “Ichiko, the one I like is you!” “You clearly said you liked me — so why are you still going to someone else!” “I won’t allow you to like anyone else. You can only like me!!!” She would confess, make her fall in love, and then fake her death in front of her — making herself her one and only. But gradually, Haruko noticed something was off. The female lead seemed to have been raised into a yandere. “Hey, Haruko, you can only like me too, okay?”

"This world is hell" Arthur muttered under his breath. Monsters, twisted inhuman creatures, vile beasts roamed the lands. Plagues that brought death to hundreds. Wars that ruined lands and cursed generations to come... this world was decaying. Why?.... What caused this? He had lost everything and everyone but he kept pushing, he promised he would. He would not fail, no matter what or who tries to stop him. He would live, he would endure, he would fight. To uncover the truth about "IT" and stop it from taking more from the innocent. He is no hero, he doesn't care for praises and cheers. He does not want them. All he wants, are answers. And he will do anything, absolutely anything to get them.

Umburals Dark Fantasy • Sci-Fi Horror • Psychological Thriller In the year 2097, Earth was no longer stable. Its orbit had begun to decay slowly, silently, dragged by the weakening gravitational tether to a massive, hidden planet that had circled the solar system for millennia. Scientists called it a phantom world, only visible during rare solar eclipses when its silhouette shimmered against the sun. Slightly bigger than Jupiter, its atmosphere resembled Earth’s, but its gravity was stronger, its terrain fractured into three colossal regions of jagged mountains, deep valleys, and broken lands. When a meteoroid threatened to shatter Earth’s crust, humanity launched its final exodus. Hyper-jump technology was still experimental, but there was no time left. Out of the estimated 9.2 billion survivors, only 5.4 billion made it through the jump. The rest were lost burned in the atmosphere, scattered across space, or left behind. They were ripped and pulled on to the phantom planet. The locals were already watching. Umburals humanoid beings with elfin features, black eyes with white pupils, and bodies capable of reshaping flesh, bone, and blood they had evolved far beyond human understanding. Their cities shimmered with advanced magical technology: floating spires, crystalline data cores, and energy-forged weapons. Their society was ancient, structured, and deeply spiritual. They did not hunt the humans. They welcomed them. At first. The Umbural governors offered shelter, medicine, and integration. They taught humans how to survive the gravity, how to adapt their tech, how to breathe in a world that pulsed with arcane energy. But not all Umburals were the same. Beyond the central cities, other clans existed wilder, stranger, shaped by different philosophies and powers. Some were territorial. Others were curious. A few were quietly hostile. And then came the conflict. Humanity, fractured and desperate, began to push back. They didn’t like the Umbural hierarchy. They didn’t trust the magic. They wanted control. Mankind’s old hunger to dominate, to lead, to reshape the world in its image resurfaced. Tensions rose. Trade broke. Skirmishes flared. Umbural governors demanded for peace, but the damage was done. Some humans began weaponizing Umbural tech. Others tried to claim land from the outer clans. The planet, already unstable from Earth’s gravitational collapse, began to react. Now, the world teeters on the edge of a new war. Umburals walk among humans. Humans build weapons to match Umbural biomass. The three fractured regions of the planet each ruled by different forces are stirring. And deep beneath the surface, something ancient begins to awaken. This is not a story of invasion. It’s a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of coexistence. Welcome to Diamond.

At thirty-nine, Aurelian Reyes was already one of the most important logistics figures in the Philippines, a man who made his fortune by moving food, medicine, machines, and supplies through places where roads, fuel, and timing could decide profit or disaster. Then a birthday gift arrived from his brother in Greece. It was a small sealed relic. At first, Aurelian thought it was just another strange gift from a man who spent too much time around old things. He opened it before leaving for work. He woke up inside an abandoned chapel under a grey sky. He was still wearing his suit, with no idea where he was and no language he could understand. The first people he met were not villagers, guides, or saviors. They were armored men with muskets. To them, he was not a lost foreigner, but a danger wearing a human face. They shot him. Wounded and alone, Aurelian is dragged into a world that already knows how to hunt things it fears. Soldiers follow procedure. The Church sends prayers before mercy. Villages survive by silence. A stranger bleeding in the wrong place can become a report, a corpse, or a problem no one wants to name. Aurelian does not understand what happened to him. He does not know why he was brought there, why they feared him on sight, or why the relic chose him at all. All he knows is that he has to survive long enough to find the truth. But in this world, even mercy can be bought with someone else’s suffering, and the hand that saves Aurelian may be the first one ruined by him.

Listen to the story of a world whose reality is far beyond human imagination. People say that in the bottomless depths of the ocean, there is only darkness and silence. They don't know that a paradise exists down there—a place no less than 'heaven' itself. It is a world where the seeds of evil do not exist, where no one knows how to lie, and where deception has no place. Even the common people have supernatural powers flowing through their veins. And their age? A hundred years in our world is merely childhood to them... they live for a thousand years. Two great empires hold the very roots of the ocean in this magical world." "First, meet King Valerian. He is as calm and steady as a statue of stone. His eyes are the exact color of the blue ice found deep under a frozen lake. He possesses the power of 'Molecular Stasis'—if he wishes, he can stop even a single molecule of water suspended in the air. When he walks, the water beneath his feet begins to freeze. Standing beside him is Queen Xylia. Her eyes shine like silver; through them, she can not only see the future but also connect with the mind of every living creature in the kingdom. Their protector is 'Glacier-Fang', a massive dragon covered in a layer of ice as hard as diamonds. When he flaps his wings, the temperature of the entire ocean drops." "Now, let’s talk about the second empire, which is even more vast and mysterious. This realm is ruled by King Oceanus. He is a warrior with a giant frame and a voice that echoes through the deep. His power is 'Hydro-Nuclear Manipulation.' He can increase water pressure so much that it creates a blast like a nuclear explosion. He carries all the ocean's fury in his hands. His partner is Queen Elara, the most beautiful and mysterious woman in that world. She can change her form in the blink of an eye—sometimes becoming a human, sometimes a stunning mermaid. Their guard is 'Tidal-Crusher', a dragon so enormous that when he moves, the ships in the world above feel like a massive earthquake has hit." "The heart of the Abyssonia Empire is Princess Zara. Her mind is faster than lightning. Though her magical powers are still asleep, her vision is so sharp that she can see the heartbeat of a tiny creature miles away in the dark. And always by her side like a shadow is Vane He is the most unique and high-ranking dragon in that world. He can turn invisible, is as playful as a small child, and understands emotions just like a human. Sometimes he sits on Zara’s shoulder like a tiny bird, and when needed, he can become so massive that he strikes terror into the hearts of enemies." "Everything was perfect, but here is the irony... in a world where no one ever fell ill, dragons suddenly began to die. Without any wounds or diseases, they started falling lifeless from the sky. This was the beginning of the dark shadow—a shadow linked to King Valerian’s son. He was the boy who had been hidden from the world and sent to a completely different realm. A boy whose mind was as dangerous as any threat. Driven by the injustice done to him, he is now ready to go to any length to destroy both worlds."

A Dark Fantasy Saga of Betrayed Gods, Cursed Bloodlines, and the Children Who Would Rewrite Fate. From the Pen of Archivist Maren of Hollowmere, Keeper of the Fractured Record. Before the Silence, there was a Song. The world hummed with magic. Death was not an ending, but a gentle transition guided by immortal beings called the Grim, who shepherded souls through the Veil like gardeners tending a beloved garden. Then the Menancers came. Ten of the most powerful mages in history, drunk on ambition and terrified of oblivion, forged a weapon that could bind a Grim to flesh. They ambushed Elian a gentle, starlit shepherd who loved the world more than his own existence and tried to force the secrets of immortality from him. They broke him. But they could not control what they unleashed. Elian's dying act was not to destroy his tormentors. It was to wound the world itself—bleeding its magic dry so that no one could ever wield enough power to unmake creation. The Age of Radiance ended in a single, sorrowful sigh. Now the moon burns violet. Monsters crawl from dungeons that breathe like living things. And children are being born with strange, luminous eyes violet, silver, amber, and rarer colors still. The mages, desperate to hide their guilt, call these children Curselings. Grim-Spawn. Enemies of humanity. The world hunts them. Liora, a girl with storm-colored eyes, escapes a mage's prison to save her friends—and pays the ultimate price. Cael, a boy with one gold eye and one silver, builds a sanctuary from the ruins of a forgotten castle and vows vengeance. Veyne, a child raised in darkness by ghosts, speaks to the dead and chooses to become something more than human. They are not cursed. They are the world's only chance to heal a wound that has festered for centuries. But the mages will burn the world before they admit the truth. "Battle of the Grim" is a sprawling dark fantasy of sacrifice and survival, where the line between hero and villain is drawn in the blood of innocents and the key to salvation has been branded as the enemy.

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY
