mystery

The night the palace burned, Elowen Vale learned the truth about blood. She was not born powerless. She was born dangerous. When forbidden magic tears through the royal citadel and the Crown Prince is condemned as a traitor, Elowen is dragged from obscurity into a war written centuries before her birth. Her blood awakens ancient forces meant to remain buried, binding her to Kael Morren, a prince marked for execution and destruction. Kael is ruthless, bitter, and half-mad with betrayal. Elowen is defiant, untrained, and burning from the inside out. Together, they become something the kingdom cannot control. Desire turns violent. Trust becomes lethal. And love, if it dares to exist, may be the most dangerous magic of all. Because crowns do not fall quietly. And neither do the people who were never meant to wear them.

[The war between light and shadow is over. Shadow won.] From the second Rya was born, the Void has been staring at her. Patiently Waiting for the right moment. They want her dead, but they never moved. Why? Because her mother is Nyxelene, the only woman crazy and strong enough to rule one of the three great kingdoms in a world owned by men. The rumours about what Nyxelene could do were already enough to make most monsters piss themselves. But that’s not the real reason the Void only watches. A child has two parents. Half of Rya’s blood belongs to a name that makes even the things without mouths shut up and crawl back into the dark. For this reason, even the light had its gaze on her But nothing stays safe forever. Now Nyxelene herself is hunting the daughter she never wanted, and only she knows why. A princess who can’t ride a horse, can’t swing a sword, can’t do anything, is suddenly the most wanted prey in Runevale. In her blind panic she crashes into a woman with perfect skin and the gentlest smile you’ll ever see… who eats her enemies alive and spits out the bones. Even that woman was not enough to protect her. It her zero hour, the devil made an entrace with his hand stretched and a bright smile on his face. Lucius L. Draven. King. Monster. A demon wearing a man’s face. He offers Rya his hand. He offers her his shadow. Question is: Why in the seven hells would the Devil protect a helpless prey when he could just drag her soul to hell and call it a day? Your move, Void, and light.

Have you ever loved someone enough to let them ruin you? Hatred turns intimate. Violence turns protective. Control turns possessive. Lines blur until neither knows where revenge ends and devotion begins. This is not a love story. It’s a descent. A dark romance of power, cruelty, obsession, and the kind of attachment that doesn’t ask to be healthy—only eternal.

This is a world that was never meant to be healed. Vampires survive on blood tithes. Werewolves worship slaughter. Technology corrodes flesh. Potions rot the soul. Ghosts roam the streets. Bio-engineered humans and puppets fight over the right to be called “human.” And diviners exist for one purpose only— to tell you how you will die. Lynn is reborn into this world as an apprentice in a remote potion shop. The shop is small. The equipment outdated. The rules, absolute: No questions. No guarantees. No responsibility for the outcome. Every day, “patients” are delivered— cursed nobles, failed cyborg soldiers, bodies torn apart by potions and stitched back together by force, and things that are breathing despite having died long ago. “That man is wrong—he performs surgery without anesthesia!” “That place is a butcher shop! You go in human and come out… something else!” “But isn’t that the best potion shop within a hundred miles?” “Of course it is. Because it’s the only place willing to treat monsters like patients.” Lynn remains unmoved by the accusations. Anesthesia interferes with potion reactions. Pain stabilizes consciousness. Failed procedures still yield valuable data. —All sacrifices are necessary. As healing turns into experimentation, as operating tables become altars, as survival itself becomes a side effect— Lynn begins to understand: he is not learning how to save lives. He is learning how broken this world truly is— and how much further it can be pushed before it collapses. And that insignificant potion shop will become the place everyone fears, despises, relies on, and can never escape.

In a future where Earth has been shattered and world had been rewritten by a single mistake. Aetheria was once a place where the flow of Aether shimmered across the skies like river streams, where people drew energy from the currents as easily as water from a well. But centuries ago, an ancient order nameless now, lost in burned records tampered with the deepest layers of reality. This fusion gave birth to Aether Force, an unstable and evolving energy that reshapes everything it touches. Aether Force manifests uniquely in each individual. Some gain elemental powers or enhanced physical traits, while others are granted unpredictable, dangerous abilities. At the heart of this fractured world is Kael Veyrn, an outcast with an unstable Aether Force that shifts violently, making him a danger to himself and those around him. Kael harbors a terrifying secret: his power is tied to the Void Nexus, an anomaly that could rewrite and erase reality itself. Rescued by the rebel group known as The Forgotten, Kael embarks on a journey to uncover his origins and the true nature of Aetherial Force. As he delves deeper into his power, Kael uncovers a chilling truth the Dominion isn’t the true enemy. The real threat lies within Kael himself. Aetherial Force is an energy system that evolves based on the user’s emotions, beliefs, and mental state, and it is classified into three types: 1. Harmonic Aether: Stable abilities, such as elemental manipulation, enhanced senses, or healing. 2. Chaotic Aether: Unpredictable powers like reality manipulation and time anomalies. 3. Void Aether: Forbidden energy that can erase or reshape reality itself. Wielders of Void Aether risk losing their identity as they become consumed by the Aetherium. Kael’s power, the Void Nexus, is the rarest and most dangerous form of Aether Force. If fully awakened, it could erase all of reality, including himself. As Kael learns more about his power, he must choose: fight to save the world that fears him, or embrace his full power and become something beyond human. The Origin of Aether is a story of survival, self-discovery, and the dangers of wielding a power that could rewrite reality. Will Kael control the force within him, or become the very thing the world fears? As he uncovers the secrets of Aether Force, the fate of the world rests in his hands.

“Screwing ladies over and serving retribution on them is my main aim; let redemption be damned.” Tony, a very brilliant, hot, and hardworking young man, lived a hard life. Anything he wanted came only when he struggled hard to get it. Even love. And when he finally found love and trust, he was stabbed in the back very painfully. It so happened that his lovely and well-trusted newly wedded wife, whom he had sacrificed his job for, never had any respect nor dignity for their marriage and cheated on him in the worst way that broke his soul. After a horrible death that followed, Tony reincarnated into a new host and a new world, and due to his broken soul, he awakened a forbidden system... one that was: [A Maniacal System: A Path of Retribution With the Endgame of Redemption] [Seduce the corrupt] [Expose their hypocrisy] [Deliver instant karmic backlash] [Strip them of wealth and pride] [Force them to face what they inflict on men] [And redeem them… if they survive themselves] This system gave him a chance to get revenge on ladies, ladies that have no respect for love and trust, for marriages, and those that love to ruin men like he was ruined. Now Tony, in the body of Tom, plays the role of a playboy, seducing and screwing over milfs, young ladies, vixen ladies, green witches, and all who treat love like a toy, trust like trash, and men like stepping stones. But the system has one fatal flaw: It is maniacal and .twisted, and every mission completed makes Tony stronger while breaking his soul even further. Now he walks a razor-thin path between vengeance and obliteration… And only one question remains: Will he conquer the system, or will the Maniacal System consume him first?

Di Benua Ruyin, lima Kekaisaran raksasa saling berdiri seperti pilar dunia, namun kedamaian di antara mereka bertahan hanya karena satu tempat: Balai Pagoda Roh, pusat diplomasi, perdagangan, dan hukum internasional tempat semua Kekaisaran wajib tunduk pada aturan bersama. Balai Pagoda Roh dipimpin oleh seorang wanita misterius, Wa’imeng’er, tokoh yang dianggap sebagai penjaga kestabilan benua. Tidak ada yang mengetahui masa lalunya, usianya, atau kekuatan sejatinya—yang jelas, selama ia duduk di puncak pagoda, tidak ada Kekaisaran yang berani memulai perang. Namun ketenangan panjang itu retak ketika Kekaisaran Tianlong jatuh ke tangan Kaisar baru: Xuyu Wansyi, penguasa kejam yang memerintahkan penarikan pajak besar saat rakyat terpuruk oleh bencana. Penolakan rakyat pada malam itu berakhir menjadi tragedi pembantaian yang mengguncang seluruh benua. Sementara dunia bergejolak, di sebuah desa kecil yang jauh dari hiruk pikuk kekuasaan, seorang anak laki-laki bernama Wu Yan tumbuh tanpa mengetahui siapa dirinya sebenarnya. Ia dibesarkan oleh seorang pria asing yang suatu hari menghilang, meninggalkan satu pesan: “Jika kau ingin mengetahui siapa orang tuamu… jadilah kuat. Kuat hingga dunia memandangmu.” Pesan itu menjadi awal perjalanan Wu Yan menjelajahi dunia yang tak pernah ia kenal—dunia penuh Kekaisaran serakah, sekte kuno, monster roh raksasa, dan kekuatan tersembunyi yang bangkit dari zaman purba. Dalam perjalanannya ia bertemu seorang gadis ceria yang menyembunyikan identitasnya sebagai putri dari salah satu Kekaisaran besar. Gadis itu menjadi cahaya dalam langkah Wu Yan, tanpa ia tahu bahwa takdir mereka akan diuji dengan cara yang tak terduga. Saat Balai Pagoda Roh terguncang, Kekaisaran saling mengincar, dan sembilan monster roh kuno mulai bergeser dari tidurnya, Wu Yan berdiri di tengah pusaran sejarah—membawa rahasia besar yang bahkan ia sendiri belum menyadarinya. Di dunia yang menuju kehancuran, hanya mereka yang memiliki tekad dan kekuatanlah yang mampu menentukan masa depan Benua Ruyin.

Evan is not special. At least, that’s what he’s always believed. He’s shy, anxious, and painfully aware of how invisible he feels in a world that seems to move faster than he can keep up with. School is exhausting, conversations are awkward, and most days feel like something he just has to survive rather than live. Then the dreams begin. They aren’t normal dreams. They feel heavy. Real. Too vivid to ignore. And when Evan wakes up, something lingers — a sense that a part of him never came back. Slowly, he begins to realize that sleep isn’t rest anymore. It’s a doorway. Somewhere beyond his ordinary life exists another world. A brutal, beautiful place ruled by power, politics, and ancient races. And somehow, Evan is tied to it — not as a visitor, not as a reincarnation, but as someone living two lives at once. One soul, split between realities, struggling to understand where he truly belongs. Dualblood: Sovereign of Dreams and Worlds is a story about identity, fear, and growth — about a boy who starts out small and uncertain, yet finds himself standing at the center of forces far greater than he ever imagined. As worlds shift and destinies intertwine, Evan must learn what it truly means to exist, to choose, and to become someone who can stand on his own… no matter which world he wakes up in. This is not just a story about power. It’s a story about becoming.

Is It Wrong to Wake Up as Myself in Orario? A DanMachi fanfic – Chapter 1 I was supposed to land in Japan. Economy seat. Window side. Educational trip on paper—maid cafés in my head. I’d even joked that if the DanMachi world were real, the Hostess of Fertility would put any café to shame. Mama Mia energy. No contest. Then the sky screamed. Metal buckled. Alarms howled. A flash—too bright, too wrong. Truck-kun? In the air? I laughed once, stupidly, and then— Ding. That should’ve been the end. I woke up on cold stone. No hospital. No wreckage. Just towering walls, morning light spilling down narrow streets, and a city breathing around me—vendors shouting, boots on cobblestone, the distant clang of bells. Orario. Not reincarnated. Not reborn. Me. Same thoughts. Same memories. Same hunger. A silver bell rang nearby. I turned—and there he was. Bell Cranel passed me at a run, white hair flashing, eyes bright with a courage that made my chest ache. The world moved around him, like it wanted him to succeed. An orphan on a scholarship back home. An extra here. Or so I thought. That night, a falna burned into my back like destiny deciding it had waited long enough. Strength answered when I reached. Luck followed when I moved. Floors fell. Monsters did not. Weeks later, whispers followed me through the streets of Orario. A nobody who climbed too fast. An outsider who survived too much. Bell ran ahead, chasing his dream. I followed— not to replace him, not to steal his encounters— but to live them. And if fate had dragged me here, then this time, I would answer it on my feet.

Edgar Wolfenstein was raised to rule, sharpened into a perfect heir beneath iron laws and political bloodlines. Control is his greatest weapon. Composure, his armor. Until a single mistake introduces a variable he cannot predict. As war tightens its grip on Europe and alliances fracture in whispers, Edgar finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of power, deception, and desire - one where every move carries consequence, and every risk is deliberate. Somewhere between strategy and obsession, an elusive adversary begins to unravel the careful order Edgar depends on. In a world where loyalty is currency and love is leverage, the greatest threat may not be the enemy across the border - but the one who understands him too well. Victory demands precision. Survival demands restraint. But temptation thrives in the thrill of the risk.

Voices that should not exist have begun to speak. For a thousand years she has slept inside a painting, bound by a love that may have been devotion —or a prison of the soul. A man survives a living sacrifice. When the ritual fails, he walks free, and watches the village that offered him collapse beneath the resentment it created. A god seals a demon away at the cost of his own voice. Centuries later, when prayers go unanswered, no one remembers that the silence was chosen. And I hear them. This is not a single story. It is a record. A series of encounters that appear unrelated, unfolding within ordinary lives, in places meant to be safe. Each one quietly changes how I understand life, death, and what lies between. I write these not to explain them, but because ignoring them is no longer an option.

The existence of the Leviathans and their mystical powers is shrouded in mystery. Who can comprehend the machinations of these supreme overseers who lurk in the shadows? Amidst this chaos, I found myself awake once more in the body of my fifteen-year-old self after dying full of regret. Uncovering the mysteries that exist in this vast world is one thing, but beyond the realm of darkness and shadows of light, I have made a vow: To pursue the dreams and aspirations that I set aside in my past life. This time, I will ensure to live true to myself, without restraints or regrets. I will be free. Tags: Regression. Fantasy. Action. Adventure. Slice of Life. Mystery. Time travel. Romance. No Harem.
