Kao Dao Ji is a mighty genius of the Kao Clan. A proud featherman born after the era of Spectral Soul, burning with ambition and the desire to take revenge on humanity! His journey begins with his ascension to immortality. Wait. Why is his Tribulation so strong? Oh. ... In an unexpected turn of events, a human from earth takes over, just the moment he dies. And? He becomes the Land Spirit. With such great powers that would have made him god back on earth, yet shackled in the same position, with no possibility of advancement, and trapped as an unfavored species. Just how will he be able to thrive? ... With the synopsis cleared: This is going to be a low-paced story, with not 'cheats' (well, there will be some things, that may qualify as such. But no, System, no Rank 9 Gu from the beginning or anything like that.) I also have no intention of writing romance, or at least not of the MC. Also, as stated before the story will begin after the era of Spectral Soul. So, do not expect to see Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan, etcetera. Still, while most of the characters are OC, I will try my best to give them relevance, perhaps too much. Anyway, I do not intend to profit from this, and I write this purely for fun, so I am not sure how consistently I will be able to put chapters, but I'll try to at least put one every 2 weeks. But that is the bare minimum, I intend to be a bit more consistent.

Who was calling?  The Voices of the unseen watching from the rifts, awaiting their time of calamity. In the Shadow of the gods and monsters, nestled between nations lies a place not marked on any official map, A place known only to those who need it most. They call it the  House of Red-Hill. To the mundane, it's a charitable home for war orphans and lost children. A quiet estate just beyond the edge of the Nation of Aegis, run by a woman once hailed as the brightest mind, but Red-Hill is no sanctuary. beneath its warm halls and shared meals, the children are trained in silence, secrecy, and survival. They are taught not to pray but to act, to kill, to protect.  Each child is raised to not just face the monsters lurking in the shadows but to be bought, licensed, and employed by those afraid to rely on divine mercy alone.  Some call it salvation, Others call it exploitation. But to the children of Red-Hill, it's just home. And every night, when the rifts groan, they lie awake in their beds.... waiting for their next assignment.

FATED TO HIS DARKNESS "Are you trying to gain my attention?" he asked, a note of cynicism in his voice and gave her his devilish smile. ______________________________________________ "You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how...

Silver-Winged Snake Beastman Owen was wandering when he accidentally saved a heavily injured Omegina; he happily brought the person back to prepare for mating. Before he could even touch the Omegina, Owen was thrown over the shoulder by him. Owen lay on the ground, staring at the deep blue sky, feeling his worldview crumbling. Aren't all Omeginas supposed to be very weak? Aren't all Omeginas supposed to be very timid? Why is the future mate he found so ferocious? ... Rowan was a top-tier Alpha during the era of interstellar warfare; during a battle, he accidentally transmigrated to a strange world. While struggling to survive, Rowan was mistaken for an Omegina by Owen, who rescued him with the intention of laying eggs together. Rowan had screamed no fewer than a hundred times: I am not an Omegina, I am not! Unfortunately, no one believed him... ... *World Setting: 1. Rowan's original world: The Mecha Era, set against the backdrop of a war with the Insect Race. There are three genders in this world: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. 2. The world Rowan transmigrated to: A primitive Beastman world with two genders. Beastmen can transform into beast forms for combat. Omeginas are similar to male Omegas in Rowan's original world: frail and capable of reproduction. 3. Forms of address for parents: Beastman fathers are called "Daddy". Omegina fathers are called "Papa". ... *A few words from the author: This story mainly revolves around the courtship journey of the Silver-Winged Snake Beastman Owen. It contains elements of war, tribe building, and civilization construction; however, these are not explored deeply, so please do not expect too much. There may be many inconsistencies, so I hope for your understanding. Happy reading!

While others rely on strength and discipline, Sagiri carries something older. an echo that sharpens his senses, bends his body, and slowly erodes his humanity.

But when he crosses paths with Lira, a girl unknowingly created to kill him, the Echo reacts violently breaking the barrier meant to forget and he remembers. Visions flood his mind.

A blindfolded woman. A captor who speaks calmly to the camera. And a video the whole world can’t stop watching. Late one night, a disturbing clip goes viral—showing a young woman tied up, her captor’s voice echoing in the dark. While the internet debates whether it’s real, her boyfriend reports her missing. The victim is Mitra, a software engineer and small-time social activist… and the key witness in an unresolved kidnapping from two weeks earlier. Trapped and threatened, Mitra refuses to break. Instead, she engages her captor—who calls himself Sashi—in a dangerous psychological battle of truth and lies, probing into his secrets as he digs into hers. As Vishal races against time to find her, Sashi releases more videos to the public. Each one is a twisted interrogation. Each one paints Mitra not as a simple victim—but as a guilty person with a hidden past. The clues lead back twelve years, to a quiet town, a brutal murder, and a past neither Mitra nor Vishal ever escaped. This is not just the story of a kidnapping. It is the unraveling of a chain of murders spanning more than a decade—and an obsession that was waiting to be exposed. When the truth finally surfaces, who will be left standing?

Set in late medieval England, 1457, thirteen-year-old Roald dreams of crafting steam-powered water vessels far beyond his village’s imagination. His world changes forever when a man in a strange mechanical cart—who calls himself a boatmaker—arrives and takes Roald as his apprentice, bringing him to the distant kingdom of Dillaclor. But Dillaclor is not the kingdom the boatmaker remembers. Beneath its altered streets and shifting loyalties, a hidden figure pulls the strings of power. As Roald is drawn deeper into court politics, dangerous alliances, and mechanical innovation, he must decide what kind of craftsman—and what kind of man—he will become before the kingdom is quietly dismantled from within.

Kyle. A boy worn thin by expectations that were never truly his own. Misunderstood, overestimated, and exhausted from a lifetime spent pleasing everyone but himself. After graduation, he leaves behind his quiet countryside home, hoping a distant university might finally offer him peace. Instead, the city offers him something far stranger than loneliness. Waiting inside the house meant to be his new start is a girl he has never met-serene, unfamiliar, and fundamentally wrong in ways he can't quite name. She doesn't feel human. And she isn't very good at pretending to be. She asks if she can live with him. Reluctant, and too kind to refuse, Kyle agrees-unaware that he has just welcomed into his life something far older and far greater than he could possibly understand. She is not merely otherworldly. She is an existence that should not care about human hearts at all. An Outer God wearing a fragile disguise, observing a species she was never meant to touch. Yet he fascinates her. Beneath his calm exterior is a boy shaped by a past that taught him to distrust affection, to measure love as obligation, and to fear what it might demand of him in return. His brokenness is not something Anathasia was prepared for, nor something her kind was ever meant to encounter. As she watches him, studies him, and begins to feel, the boundary between observer and participant begins to erode. What begins as quiet cohabitation becomes something far more dangerous. Will their impossible bond heal the wounds Kyle tried so desperately to bury, or will it awaken emotions in both of them that neither of their worlds will allow to exist?

Kai Sterling built a life around precision — strategy, analysis, control — because it was easier than remembering what he was before. Then the Prison Game activates, and the system doesn't call him Kai. It calls him Light. Inside a looping trial designed to break gods, he dies every night and wakes up missing pieces of himself: memories, instincts, fragments of something vast and burning at his core. A silent girl watches him like she knows what he used to be. The world fractures when he looks at it too closely. And the prison responds to him like it's been waiting — because it has. The fire at the center of the labyrinth was never a punishment. It was a responsibility. And he was the one who volunteered to carry it. Firekeeper is a dark cosmic fantasy about identity, memory, and the terrible cost of becoming human on purpose. ________________________________________ #Firekeeper #Fantasy #Action #Adventute #Academy #Mystery #Survival ________________________________________ [Author notes: My, oh my!
