Bungo Stray Dogs

Author: Schrödinger Status: Not complete Categories: Action-Supernatural-Mystery Prologue: Chiyo Tsukahara was an artist who learned, far too young, that beautiful things could still be feared. She painted skies that twisted like dying stars. People with faces that did not belong to them. Cities whose streets led nowhere—yet somehow, always led somewhere. Her teachers called them mistakes. They told her to paint properly, to stop imagining things that did not exist, to make her art normal. So Chiyo learned to make herself smaller. She painted what they wanted. And somewhere along the way, she stopped believing that what she saw was real. She was wrong. Her paintings were never meaningless. They were doors, every color held a world behind it and every unfinished stroke concealed something waiting to breathe. A little blue could become an endless sky. A smear of black could become a corridor with no end. A single drop of red could stain reality itself. She does not need a brush, the only thing that needed are colors. Paint. Ink. Water carrying the faintest trace of pigment. And if someone touches it—they disappear. Not dead, not gone. They just simply at elsewhere, somewhere inside the painting. Somewhere that only Chiyo can see. And perhaps the cruelest part of her ability is that the worlds she creates are beautiful. Beautiful enough that they might forget to be afraid. Until they notice the sky is moving, realizing the people in the painting are watching them intensely. In their last moment, they look behind themselves—and discover there was never an exit. Chiyo Tsukahara spent years believing that her imagination was a defect. Now, reality has begun to prove her wrong. Because when an artist finally stops asking permission to create, the canvas is no longer the only thing that can be painted. ━ This story will follow the anime/manga. So be warned in spoilers ahead!

The Retired Young Mercenary Is Secretly a Billionaire

They call him Ghost. A name spoken in fear through warzones, underground syndicates, and the darkest corners of the black market. To the world, he is a phantom. A faceless mercenary who leaves behind nothing except bloodshed and silence. To his enemies, he is death itself. To the operatives of Graveyard, he is one of their own. Family forged through war. But to himself… he is only a broken man chasing fragments of a past stolen by bullets, fire, and smoke. After completing another flawless mission deep within the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base that has been his home for seventeen years. Yet the calm lasts only moments before his foster father and commander gives him an order he never expected. “That was your final mission.” Now Ghost, whose real name is Miles Sterling, must leave behind the battlefield and step into a normal world he barely understands. Armed with nothing except an old letter, fading childhood memories, and the voice of a mother he has not seen since the day his life was torn apart. But war did not only shape his body and soul. Behind the mask, beneath the scars, Miles hides another truth. A secret buried from even the men who fought beside him. He is not merely a weapon created by war. He is a ghost who built a fortune in silence. A hidden empire stretching across borders, corporations, black markets, and shadows. A man known by many names. A man followed by countless secrets. Beneath the violence, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is finally ready to uncover it… one memory, one enemy, and one letter at a time.
