mystery

Ryo Kenzaki was just a high schooler. Ordinary. Forgotten. Content to fade into a crowd and wait for the end of the day. Then a star fell from the sky, and everything changed. In a moment of instinct, he pulled a bleeding woman from a crater—and learned that the world he knew was a lie. The Human Realm exists on borrowed time, separated from the Hunting Realm by a crumbling threshold. On the other side, monsters wait. Creatures born when Hunters break—warriors twisted into something that only remembers hunger, their humanity consumed by an endless need to kill and feed. When a Spider creature hunts Ryo across burning ruins, he's dragged into the last sanctuary: a dojo at the edge of both worlds, run by a woman who expected his arrival. Tsukihime offers him a choice—one that isn't really a choice at all. A blade. A Kizugami—a weapon forged from wounds themselves, blessed with a terrible awareness. It doesn't serve the wielder. It judges them. And in the moment Ryo touches the hilt, he feels it: the blade seeing into him, searching for something, finding him wanting. But there's no walking back. A Kaimon hunts him. A cosmic Eye watches from the sky. And somewhere in the gathering darkness, something vast and inevitable is moving toward the world's end. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. Never wanted to inherit a curse he didn't deserve. But fate, it seems, has already made its choice for him. The only question left is: when everything is stripped away—when he's forced to become something other than human—can he still stand as himself once more? Or will the blade consume him like it has consumed all the others? Character Art by @_iamskiddy

In a multiverse of infinite layers, Kael Veyris emerges as a singularity of power. He does not merely fighthe reshapes wars, redefines enemies, and rewrites the rules of life itself. As gods, titans, and cosmic entities attempt to challenge him, Kael’s reality warping abilities leave them powerless. But absolute power comes at a cost. With every law he bends and soul he claims, Kael must confront the fragility of identity, morality, and the infinite consequences of reshaping existence itself.

On the day of his awakening, Azrael’s fate fractures. The power sleeping within him stirs at last — not fully, not completely, but enough to shatter the quiet life he once knew. A presence older than memory stirs within him, and before he understands what is happening, he finds himself drawn into forces far greater than talent, rank, or expectation. As his journey unfolds, that stirring deepens. Powers begin to manifest — powers that defy the limits imposed by the world’s own laws, awakening one after another as though answering a forgotten call. Beyond the borders of the known world, the Breach trembles — the catastrophic scar left behind by an ancient war that nearly erased humanity. What few know is that the Breach was not merely an accident of history. It was caused. And the truth Azrael uncovers is far more terrifying. He is not merely gifted. He is a fragment — A remnant of the very existence that brought about the Breach — a presence so overwhelming that its fall split the world itself. Not remembered for ruling. Not remembered for conquest. But for devastation. The Dark Sovereign. Yet Azrael is not a reincarnation. Not a vessel. Not a puppet fated to repeat destruction. He is something new — born from that fractured shadow, yet not bound by it. Where that former existence stood as a calamity made flesh, Azrael stands unfinished… uncertain… and capable of becoming something greater. He has already been judged Deemed unworthy of the name he carries, of the power within him. And yet, as the Breach begins to widen once more, the world may have no other choice. To survive what is coming, Azrael must do more than confront what he was. He must become something beyond it.

In a world on the brink of destruction where myths and legends blur together, a prophecy remains the only perspective for the future. It foretells the ultimate struggle between good and evil—the destruction or the salvation of the world—born from the blade brandished by the Warrior of Ashes. However, for Thiongane soldiers like Pierre, this story is nothing more than a tale, a tall story. Amidst the constant horrors and the permanent anguish felt during every new battle against the Djinns for three centuries, they have never seen even a shadow of these Boechins and their radiant powers. And Pierre’s only experience with the gods had long since convinced him that they should expect no favorable divine intervention. But whether one believes it or not changes nothing. Despite himself, Pierre finds himself in the heart of the most tragic and ferocious battle he has ever known, unaware that it is the fruit of manipulations by entities beyond all human conception. And in the ashes of this tragedy, the story of a boy was meant to begin. The first cog in a cruel destiny whose mechanism seems unstoppable. The first prisoner of a web already woven. Georges Badji.

And Ivy begins to forget who she is - and remember something she never lived. There's no escape. Not from the manor. Not from him. Not from herself. Inspired by The Turning (2020) - this is a slow-burn descent into obsession, possession, and the kind of love that never lets go.

In desperation, he pulled on his anchor, escaping certain death. The anchor did not return him "home," nor did it grant him safety. Instead, it dragged him downward and cast him into a cursed world. He fell from the clouds and crashed into a lone house on the distant outskirts of a great city. He survived but at a cost. Cursed by the very world he had trespassed upon, Oren awakened there as something he had never been before.

The Belling family is one of Britain’s oldest pure-blood lines—ancient, ridiculously wealthy, and famously reclusive. Centuries of keeping to themselves brought an unfortunate side effect: skin hunger. A powerful magical craving for touch that grows dangerous if ignored. Little Estelle Belling inherited it in full. After her mother died in childbirth, her father’s hunger spiraled out of control. To protect his manor and his tiny daughter, he chose to end his own life. In his final letter, he named his distant cousin Lucius Malfoy as Estelle’s godfather and guardian. And so the wide-eyed five-year-old arrived at Malfoy Manor clutching her stuffed serpent. The moment she spotted the haughty little platinum-haired boy in the entrance hall, her face lit up. “Brother!” she squealed, launching herself at him. Draco’s ears went bright red. “Shh! Don’t say that so loud!” Estelle blinked, then simply hugged him tighter.

MY LOVE FROM HELL Synopsis She has no name. No family. No past. For as long as she can remember, she has lived on the streets—feeding from wastebins, sleeping under broken bridges, surviving on scraps the world discarded. Invisible. Unwanted. Forgotten. But the shadows have never forgotten her. Strange eyes follow her in the dark. Whispers crawl into her dreams. And on the night she is almost killed in an alley, a dangerously beautiful stranger appears — cold, commanding, and inhuman. He calls her Celestia. He claims he is her protector. Lucien is powerful, mysterious, and terrifyingly calm. He takes her into a mansion that feels alive and introduces her to beings that are far from human — demon hybrids, a higher vampire, creatures born of darkness. She should run. But she doesn’t. Because for the first time in her life, someone is protecting her. Soon, her nightmares become real. Witches gather in secret covens. Dark angels descend. Higher demons hunt her. She learns a truth that shatters everything: She carries angelic pure blood — a sacred, celestial essence powerful enough to grant dark forces access to Heaven itself if sacrificed. She is not a nobody. She is the key to a war between realms. And the most devastating truth of all? The man she is falling in love with… The man who saved her… The man who swore to protect her… Is the Prince of Hell. Now caught between Heaven and Hell, hunted by witches and demons, rejected by angels, and betrayed by destiny, she must choose who she truly is. A weapon. A sacrifice. Or the girl who dares to love the devil. Because in a war between light and darkness, love may be the most dangerous sin of all. warning:Mature content! Beware!!!
