mystery

In a world where the sun has long since perished beneath an eternal cobalt night, every human is born with Lunar Ichor, a living essence etched with a unique Lunar Sigil, a sacred symbol engraved into the soul itself. Yet Lunar Ichor alone grants no true divinity. Only when it resonates with Divine Ichor through the sacred rite of Baptism does the sigil awaken, forging an Astral Card, the vessel of one’s ascension and power. But the heavens are broken. The Moons, fragments of Divine Ichor left behind by gods waging endless war, hang shattered above the world, bleeding their power into mankind while spreading corruption through the night. From these celestial wounds came the Howlings, monstrous echoes of divine ruin, and the prophecy of another Cataclysm, a calamity said to descend when the Moon Goddess Noxella awakens once more. Amid this dying world lives Clyde Nox Pvolae, a boy who never sought power, never desired ascension, and never wished to stand among gods. Yet when he discovers a forbidden book buried beneath ancient truths, his Lunar Ichor mutates into Hollow Star, an impossible anomaly that defies the sacred laws binding humanity to the heavens. As the coming Cataclysm draws near and the descent of Noxella threatens to plunge the world into ruin, Clyde becomes entangled in a fate older than the gods themselves. If the heavens once fell because of mankind’s arrogance, then what will happen when one human gains the power to defy the gods? Will history repeat itself?

With such a wealthy background, even if he did nothing at all, he could still live comfortably in this world. An old aristocrat!! With such starting pack, how could he possibly lose? “I’m seriously high right now!!” But just as he pressed his fingers against his temple, a familiar sharp-tongued male voice came from the gem resting on the table: “Roy, you bastard, how long are you going to keep skipping class? Do you really want me, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, to drag you back myself?!” “Huh? Did you just say… Kaynet-… what?” “…Tch. Well, now I’m fucked up.”

"Look at you being so helpless and innocent, it's so sexy." "Rowoon, I hate you! Get off me!" "You don't hate me. You'll never hate me. I'm going to make you mine so I will never let you run away from me," Rowoon grinned while staring with lustful eyes. ______________________ Desire and Love are two elements that are dangerous to be trifled with.

"You completed the Consort Rite," the Demon Prince murmured, his gaze dark and terrifyingly devoted as he looked down at me. "I have waited twenty years for you." I stared at the stolen, two-tailed cat purring in my arms. Then I looked back at the most feared man in the empire...the exiled noble with cursed pink hair and a reputation for ruthless slaughter. Oh gods. He thinks I’m his fated wife. To save my dying sister, I did the unthinkable: I infiltrated the Northern Lord's estate to steal a handful of fur from his sacred spirit-cat. I just didn't expect the ancient, mischievous nekomata to adopt me on the spot, triggering a forgotten onmyodo magic that bound me to its terrifying master. Now, I'm trapped playing the role of the beloved Consort to the Demon Prince. He treats me with a fierce, absolute reverence that makes my heart pound, and I'm starting to realize the monsters in the Imperial Court are far more dangerous than the man I'm lying to. But what happens when the most powerful man in the empire discovers our marriage was built on a stolen cat?

When the Mist consumed the world, alien warriors appeared without warning , erasing billions and shattering humanity in a single day. Then came the System. Those who met its hidden conditions were granted abilities, rising as Hunters—humanity’s last hope against the invaders. Strength became everything. Power decided who lived… and who was left behind.

One said to cut down aliens, regardless of their rank. As rumors of the blade begin to spread, something far more dangerous than the invaders starts to move from the shadows. In a world that left him at the bottom— He’ll carve his way to the top

Kasjia traversed into a wasteland world. Yellow sand and clouds of radioactive poison covered the surface of the earth, and the only human habitations left were fortress-factories behind bleak iron walls. He was determined to save it all. But before that, as the unloved youngest son of a powerful family on the planet, he was about to enter a political marriage with a female workshop worker. She was a beautiful young woman with white hair and purple eyes. Aside from being a little taller than everyone else, she was perfect in every other way. He was very satisfied. Until he heard her name was Fulgrim. What!? Fulgrim?! He was bewildered. He realized something was not quite right. He let out a cry like a Grot whose toe had been stepped on. ... Damn it, I've traversed into the world of Warhammer! And it's a Warhammer world where the influence of Slaanesh is as rampant as a flood! But, still able to grasp the situation, he remained determined to save it all. ... In the distant and dark 30th Millennium, aboard the Pride of the Emperor flagship. The La Fenice theater. Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Third Legion, once again removed her power armor gauntlet, showing off the Sagittarius golden ring on her left hand to the legionaries as if to boast: "...Thirty years. The thirty years I spent with Kasjia on Chemos may not be considered long..."

Kissabel Hilson was born to inherit an empire—but destiny had other plans. As the rightful heiress of the powerful Hilson Empire, Kissabel’s life should have been perfect. Instead, it shattered the night her mother disappeared and her father remarried a woman who turned her home into a battlefield. Betrayed by family, abandoned by the man she loved, and framed by the very blood she shared, Kissabel learns early that love is a weapon—and mercy is a weakness. On the night she is humiliated before the elite of V City, Kissabel walks away from everything she once believed in. What she doesn’t know is that her fall places her directly in the path of Adrian Goodwill—a ruthless CEO feared in the business world and whispered about in the mafia underworld. Cold, calculating, and dangerously irresistible, Adrian doesn’t believe in love. He believes in control. But Kissabel is unlike any woman he’s ever met. As secrets buried for decades begin to surface, Kissabel discovers that her missing mother was not just a victim—but the crown princess of a dominant mafia clan who sacrificed power for forbidden love. And now, that legacy is calling Kissabel home. Caught between corporate wars, mafia bloodlines, and a love that was never supposed to exist, Kissabel must choose: Run from her destiny… Or embrace the darkness and rule beside the man who would burn the world to protect her. Because when a mafia king falls in love, it is never gentle— it is unconditional.

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! P.S.

What happens when a dark fantasy novel becomes your reality… — During a failed heist, a slave named Jesper Ivanoski gets hit in the head by one his pursuers. This caused him to awaken memories of his previous life as a mobster who was betrayed and killed by the person closest to him. More importantly, he also realizes that his current world was a world from the novel he read not too long before his death. The problem is that this world is currently at war with monsters who want to take over all of humanity, and cults who are all devoted to the same evil. Armed with the memories of his past life and the knowledge of a story he had had read, Jesper tries to survive this world and the war currently destroying it.

However, the higher he climbs in power and politics, the more he realizes that the Monarchs themselves are playing a game he was never supposed to see. *** Note: Mc is an ambitious, ruthless, manipulative, and morally gray character. Female lead can be a bit more crazy. (I really mean it when I say she’s crazy. Infact, think… mental illness meets psychopathic killer.) Her only moral compass is the MC who is trying to help her. Also, please note that this book can get really graphic and is really dark after the first couple of chapters that sets things up. World setting: Tsarpunk (A parallel inspired by 19th century Russia. Although there’s a bit of advancement in places due to magic and lots of gothic elements.) First few chapters may seem slow, but it picks up really quickly.

A magical academy fantasy where colors resonate with emotions, bonds awaken ancient powers, and forgotten light begins to sing again. I’ve always been fascinated by how emotions and memories would look if they had color — or sound. This story explores that connection — how beauty, loss, and hope all live in shades we’ve forgotten to feel. In the Monochrome City, life is quiet. Too quiet. Each person is born with a single hue in their vision — blue, red, green — but no one remembers what true color is anymore. Until Lyra, a girl from the Grey District, begins to hear strange whispers in the night — echoes that don’t belong to this world. The more she listens, the more her reality starts to crack… and something ancient begins to awaken.
