In a world where superhumans are categorized by the power of their cores—mighty Alphas and capable Betas—sixteen-year-old Ark Greystone is a Null. Powerless. Invisible. A bullied nerdy boy destined to watch his two childhood friends, a prodigious pyrokinetic and a brilliant telepath-telekinetic, ascend to the heights of the Hero Academy while he is left behind in the dust of their awakening. The day before the fateful entrance exam, as Ark resigns himself to a future in the science and tech wing, a final gift from his late grandfather changes everything: a mysterious USB drive that doesn't just contain data—it downloads a system directly into his mind. When he wakes, a mechanical interface is permanently etched into his vision: The Assassin System. Suddenly, Ark is no longer a Null. His core is classified, his rank expunged from official records. He possesses not flashy elemental powers, but the cold, precise knowledge of a predator: anatomy, stealth protocols, weapon mastery, and the calculated means to exploit any weakness. While heroes summon fire and move objects with their minds, Ark calculates kill zones and pressure points. Now, he must navigate the treacherous waters of the Hero Academy, where familiar friends are growing distant, old bullies are now empowered enemies, and new faces—a cold, aloof swordswoman with impossible strength and a nerdy boy with elastic abilities—complicate his path. All while hiding the terrifying truth of his power from everyone, including himself. But as Gateways to monstrous Otherworlds threaten humanity, Ark is forced to ask: was this system designed to create a hero... or something else entirely? To survive, he must level up, unlock the System's deadly secrets, and decide if he will use this power to protect the world that rejected him, or to carve out his own destiny from the shadows.

In the age before remembrance, the heavens burned and a raven fell. From its ashes was born a curse that would one day awaken again. Vayodhra was the son of a heretic monk and a healer accused of defying the gods. When his parents were executed for practicing a forbidden siddhi, their ashes marked him as impure—condemned to live as the outcast of his own sect. Bullied, broken, and forgotten, he stumbled upon a ring pulsing with a dying light— the remnant soul of Kaalravan, the Celestial Raven who once defied Samsara itself. When blood met ash, the raven whispered: “Samsara is mercy only for the blind. Do you wish to see?” From that night onward, karma itself began to tremble. To seek truth, Vayodhra must walk the Aghor Path—where filth becomes purity, and death becomes a teacher. He will carve his vengeance through realms of gods and ghosts, unearth the secrets behind the Raven War, and face the divine hypocrisy that governs all rebirth. Because to shatter Samsara… one must first die to it.

Flight 208 crashed. No survivors. That’s what the world was told. That’s what his family believed. But twelve years later, he came back. He returned home alive — older, quieter, his eyes distant like they’d seen too much. He said he’d survived on a remote island, that he remembered nothing before the rescue. People believed him. They wanted to. But lies have a way of bleeding through. And his cracks began to show. The way he moved. The way he spoke. The way he sometimes stared at the sky as if it was watching him back. His memories don’t add up. His emotions feel wrong. And no matter how hard he tries to fit back into the life he lost, the truth refuses to stay buried. Because you can’t keep the past hidden forever. Not when it’s still alive inside you. Memories of Blood is a psychological drama about identity, trauma, and the quiet horror of returning home changed — and realizing something else might have come back with you.

If the wizarding world wants a villain, maybe they should’ve been nicer to him. Armed with a time-turner, a grudge, and a dangerously low level of patience, Harry jumps back in time. His mission?
