It was Darkness

Ender Levin, the protagonist, is a young man who has been plagued by strange dreams and nightmares for as long as he can remember. Dead cities. Lifeless bodies scattered across the streets like ants. Blood staining the ruins. And something called... Zon. But what is Zon? Even Ender doesn't know. In one recurring nightmare, Ender and his cousin and best friend, Zack D. Roy, were being hunted by a group of mysterious, anonymous figures. No matter how hard they ran, they were eventually caught and killed. But what tormented Ender the most was... Just before his death, Ender sees his own deceased younger sister, Marine Levin, standing before him with a golden knife in her hand. It wasn't the first time he had these dreams. They've been haunting him for years, growing increasingly vivid and intense. Desperate to escape these dreams. Ender eventually leaves on a vacation with Zack and his friends. There, he encounters a strange man who seems to know far more about him than he should. The man takes Ender to an unfamiliar place and performs a series of mysterious chants. Suddenly, a strange red-black energy erupts from Ender's mouth. The man captures it inside a small bottle before preparing to leave. Confused and furious, Ender stops him. "What does this mean?" "Who are you?" Countless questions race through his mind. But instead of answering, the strange man takes Ender into the void of space itself, and begins revealing the hidden lore of his world. Ender soon discovers that the reality he knows is far stranger than he ever imagined. He and his friends are introduced to the existence of Astrans, beings capable of transcending the limits of ordinary humanity. But becoming an Astran is not as simple as gaining power. To awaken, they must confront their deepest guilt, regrets, fears, and buried desires. More importantly, they must convince both their souls and their unconscious minds to accept the transformation. Only then can they ascend into a higher-dimensional world known as Raiheart. There, Ender and his companions encounter a mysterious cult and its agency, Peace Order, becoming entangled in a world filled with secrets, conspiracies, supernatural forces, and entities far beyond human understanding. And this is where their journey truly begins. As they face increasingly dangerous threats, Ender and his friends must uncover the mysteries surrounding Raiheart, the origins of the Astrans, and the strange phenomena that have haunted them from the beginning. But the deeper they descend into the unknown, the more they begin to uncover something far more terrifying. Themselves. Because every mystery has a price. And sometimes, the truth doesn't set you free. It drives you mad. In the end, they will have to make a choice, How much of themselves are they willing to lose to uncover the truth? ---- [ Important Notice ] ---- If you are looking for a story with interesting lore and world building exploration along with well written characters. This will be enough to catch your gaze. But this is my first time writing a story. I don't have any experience in any of these fields so my condolences for everything.. I'm continuously trying to improve and working diligently with my execution and prose. [ Ruis Forst: the tritagonist ]

Utsuro

Zenon is a young man from Spezia, a high school student living a cold, routine life ,and faces the world with a dry, distant logic. One day, he joins his classmates on a school trip to the Amazon — a forbidden region, off-limits because of old, dangerous scientific experiments buried there. What should have been nothing more than a field trip turns into a catastrophe. Violence erupts, senseless and unexplained, and Zenon finds himself alone in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by death and secrets. To survive, he'll have to rely on nothing but himself — make brutal choices, and uncover a dark side of himself he never knew existed. A side tied to a power he doesn't understand, one that comes with a heavy price. Between a jungle hiding horrors no one was meant to find, and organizations watching everything from the shadows, Zenon begins a journey he will not walk out of the same person who walked in.

CARDIAC-65

CARDIAC 65: Infinite Realms _jons.ynd One storm changed everything. On a night when the heavens themselves waged war above a sprawling metropolis, a lone young man challenged the skies in silent defiance. Marked as one of **Gaia's Children**—a bloodline despised by the celestial powers—he becomes the target of an impossible judgment. Struck by a mysterious crystalline force from beyond the heavens, his body is torn apart by divine lightning before vanishing through a portal of living light. He should have died. Instead, he awakens in a world unlike his own. With no memories of his past and a strange wound in his chest that pulses with an unknown energy, he finds himself rescued by a mysterious red-haired operative whose appearance is as dangerous as the futuristic city she calls home. As ruthless corporations, hidden laboratories, and powerful organizations begin hunting him, it becomes clear that his arrival was no accident. The crystal embedded within his heart has made him something humanity has never seen. Known only as subject **Cardiac 65**, he is the key to a force capable of connecting countless realities—an ancient power that can reshape worlds or erase them entirely. But every realm he enters carries its own secrets, monsters, forgotten civilizations, and gods who would rather see him dead than discover the truth of his existence. As fragments of his lost memories begin to surface, so does a terrifying revelation: The heavens did not try to kill him... They were trying to stop something from awakening. Now hunted across infinite worlds, subject C.65 and the woman who saved him must uncover the mystery behind the crystal, survive enemies from every reality, and confront a destiny that threatens not just one universe—but the entire Infinite Realms. **Some doors should never be opened, they must stay closed** **His heart is the key.**

Blinded by the lies of her beloved stepsister and her closest male friend, Weiwei turned against Mo Shian, the husband who loved her beyond reason. She demanded a divorce, rejected his protection, and unknowingly helped those scheming against her destroy him. Only after Mo Shian died protecting her did Weiwei discover the devastating truth. Her kind and caring sister was a two-faced snake who wanted everything that belonged to her. Her identity. Her inheritance. Even her husband. A week after Mo Shian’s death, Weiwei was chased to the edge of a cliff by the two people she once trusted most. With nowhere left to run, she made one final vow before jumping.

PAWNS RISE AGAINST THE STRINGS

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

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.

Great legacy of a beast tamer

*Synopsis* *He died on Earth. He woke up in hell.* The screech of tires. The crunch of metal. Arin was twenty-seven when a car ended him, fingers locked around the ruby necklace his mother gave him before her last breath. He woke to dust choking his lungs. To the stench of rot and mildew. To a ravaged room and a body that wasn’t his. A starving orphan. Same name. Different world. This is *Pangu*. 600 years ago the sky tore open with a sound like the world was ending. An eye stared down. A Grand Calamity followed. The air turned heavy. The ground ran red. Animals evolved into horrors. Abominatios that shouldn’t exist. Things that could split mountains with a roar and flatten cities with a step. They nearly wiped out humanity. Now, survivors cower behind cold stone walls on 7 continents. Beyond those walls? Only death. The wind carries the smell of blood. Orphans couldn’t afford the Academy. They shiver in the Village Square, feet numb on cracked stone, listening to a hoarse teacher drill one lesson and history into them: _Outside the walls, you die. Inside, if you’re weak, you’re forgotten._ Arin has nobody. No trait. No future. Just stolen memories of a world ten times bigger than Earth. And a broken necklace that pulses warm against his chest. Like it’s alive. The necklace was supposed to be a keepsake. But in Pangu, even broken things have teeth. This is Pangu. Adapt, or be devoured. Arin is alone. But with the artifact his mother left him, he will carve his future in blood. In a world where only beasts rule... He will become the monster they fear.
