mystery

Darren has always believed dreams are just dreams. So when he wakes from another nightmare of being watched in the woods, he brushes it off—just like he always has. The Appalachians are full of stories, after all. Stories meant to scare tourists, not people who’ve lived in West Virginia their whole lives. A camping trip with friends should be harmless. Familiar trails. A quiet stream. Gray skies threatening rain but never quite delivering it. Then they find a broken watch on the trail. Then someone goes missing. As night falls, the forest begins to feel wrong—too quiet, too still, as if it’s holding its breath. Strange sounds echo between the trees. Shadows stretch where they shouldn’t. And Darren starts to realize that his dreams aren’t just imagination—they’re warnings. Something ancient is moving through the mountains. Something that watches. Mimics. Hunts. As the group searches for answers, they uncover fragments of hidden truths: vanished people, erased evidence, and whispered legends tied to wells, caves, and places that shouldn’t exist. The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that the forest isn’t just hiding something— It’s protecting it. And once it notices them, there may be no way back.

Kamitani Yuu crossed the threshold into the world of Type-Moon, a reality woven from mystery and legend, and in doing so, awakened a Heroic Spirit Class Card. It was a vessel, a key that granted Yuu passage across the vast expanse of time. His task was clear: to journey to disparate eras, to forge the requisite great deeds and legends. Upon their completion, these exploits would be etched into the Class Card's matrix, then uploaded to the Quantum Time-Lock, the very fabric of recorded history and ultimately transmuted into a power that was unequivocally "his own." Thus commenced Yuu's pilgrimage toward apotheosis, his first step taken into the spectral, world-forsaken domain of the Land of Shadows.

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

“A shepherd of all lambs can be a prophet to one, but better than a prophet to none.” Determined to obtain a Tower and participate in trials known as the Sequences of Events, Hunter Morningstar, a seventeen-year-old Slumberer, entered his first challenge, the Trial by Fear, and successfully obtained a unique Trait. But at what cost would it lead him? ༺༻ Side Notes: — The story begins lightly and gradually descends into darker territory. I am not a light author by nature. Even when I aim for restraint, the narrative often carries weight, and this progression is intentional. — The main character is not literally blind. That detail merely marks the surface of a much deeper layer. There are multiple strands of lore woven into the story, some of which would only reveal their meaning much later. — Corrections and feedback are welcome. Support through Power Stones is appreciated, and reviews are always encouraged. I hoped you will enjoy the journey! Update Schedule: Updates will be released once or twice a day, at varying times.

Gardens: Massive, floating cities scatted throughout the infinite sky, serving as the last bastions of humanity in a mysterious world governed by untouchable forces. The sky, vertically stratified by altitude, is far from a just place. Those in The Sky Empire (upper layers), live in contempt and luxury, breathing in clean air— free from the threat of waste accumulation and death. Those in The Federation (the lower layers) suckle off The Sky Empire's waste, vying for any opportunity to bite at the bliss of luxury. In this conflicted world, a boy - Ansel - is born. Looking out at the sky, he dreams of touching the stars. He reaches out with his hand, but the stars stay out of grasp. He dreams of what lies beyond the never-ending expanse of sky; he dreams of of the beasts hidden within the clouds. The chords that tie him down will one day unwind, and the countless paradoxes of his reality will shatter to reveal the truth.

I finally got this idiotic thing working. I have been trying to get the Thought Logger to work for the last two weeks.  Well, I guess that I should not waste my time anymore and just introduce myself. (I don't know how long I can keep this activated.) My name is Anthony Sevenstars, and I am a formation mage.  I know, I know. It is rare to see formation mages associated with the guard corps. We guards are supposed to be diplomats first and foremost, as quick with praise as with threats. We are supposed to be as cool as a cucumber.  It is hard to imagine me as any of those. I am the guy you meet with when you have a fort to blow up. (How I got my position as a guard is a long story in itself.) I guess I should speak about the mission. I will be honest, I have not been able to learn much about the mission. (Don't blame me. I have been busy keeping our ship flying.) All I know is that we are dealing with the Snowwind Empire. Let's just say that some things have happened in the last year, and they are on the verge of becoming our enemies. All I know is, I am supposed to maintain diplomacy with them (I should manage this.), prevent them from becoming our enemies (this is something that I am dreading.). In the process, I might get to blow up a few of our enemies. (I will do this very well indeed.) Damn it, why is th.. Connec...... Brea.. No.. note 1- my publishing schedule is going to be Monday-wednesday-friday note 2- if you like my work, you should check out my patreon. i don't have any tiers ready yet but any membership will boost my motivation to work on this. this is my patreon link - patreon.com/tengen1410 note 3- I am significantly ahead on royal road webpage. so if you like my work you can go there and check out what is going on.

On the first day Andy arrived in this world with only a few memories of his past life, he heard a female voice calling his name in his ear before losing consciousness. From then on, as far back as he could remember, Andy was given the number 012 and received instruction from Papa. The story begins here.

A modern US soldier and his batallion die immediately when flying to a rapid mobilization order in Iraq. The Goddess Triamal saves the batallion and offers them a tantalizing offer: Live a second time with a chance for redemption, or die and return to Earth. Most take the offer, going to war against a world. The age old question: "can a modern army unit win against an entire world" is on display here. *Disclaimers* There is no harem in here. There is a single FMC, and that will never change. Yes, there will be romance, and no the MC is not a spineless wimp who doesn't know how to treat women. This is not a "guy gains a system, and speed blitzes everything" story, there are stakes, there will be death, and the pacing may slow at times. I may get a few things wrong from time to time about how a battalion moves. Feel free to tell me when/if that happens. This is not a story about "conquering another world because a portal showed up." No, this is "we are fighting an entire world for our second chance at life"

Detective Akari Mizushima has noticed a pattern. People around behavioral consultant Kiyoshi Shirogane keep dying. Suicides. Accidents. Tragedies that look natural but feel wrong. A prosecutor destroys an innocent man's life. A mother makes an unthinkable choice. An ethics professor questions everything he believes. All within degrees of separation from one brilliant, cold young man. Kiyoshi doesn't kill people directly. He doesn't need to. He just understands them. Predicts them. Arranges circumstances. And watches them destroy themselves. Akari knows he's responsible. She can see the web of connections, the impossible coincidences, the perfect timing. But knowing isn't proving. And Kiyoshi operates in the space where evidence ends and suspicion begins. As she investigates deeper, Akari realizes she's facing something unprecedented: someone who treats human behavior as equations, morality as fiction, and free will as the greatest lie ever told. The question isn't whether she can catch him. It's whether catching him is even possible when he's already predicted her every move. A dark psychological thriller exploring determinism, manipulation, and the terrifying possibility that our choices were never really our own.

Their modern world vanished in an instant... A group of students were suddenly thrown into a strange world called Murim, where power ruled everything and the law of the jungle was the only truth. Here, the weak were doomed to die slowly. Among them was Raven, an ordinary figure who harbored a secret he did not understand. Even before the incident, he was often haunted by strange dreams about a mysterious man in an old pavilion. But after arriving in Murim, those dreams changed. They became fragments of memories that felt too real to be illusions. Every step Raven took in search of answers dragged him deeper into a world of powerful sects, bloody battles, and dark mysteries that entangled his fate. What is the connection between himself and Murim? Why are other people's memories embedded in his head? And when all the secrets are finally revealed... Is Raven ready to accept who he truly is and lose what he must sacrifice to survive? Meanwhile, in a world that swallows them whole, one thing is certain “Power is not just a tool for survival. It is the only truth.”

They handed him a rusted spear and told him to die. He pulled out a shotgun and thirty shells. This is a story of Aether and extreme pragmatism. It is the legend of a servant who turned slaughter into currency, rising from the mud to the chessboard of gods and dragons—transforming from a pawn into the player.

Clara, upon dying, found herself lying in an unfamiliar bed within an unfamiliar room, with lots of unfamiliar faces greeting her, being addressed as someone who is very important in a whole nation.

However, as she live with her family, she realizes something...that the things that are happening with her current life is completely different from the book! How is she going to live in that world not knowing what's going to happen next?! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Hii! Cat here! I just want to tell everyone that English is not my first language, so my choice of words may not be related to what I'm trying to imply. But, I'm sure that I'll get better as I continue writing this story. Please bear with me! By the way, the image on the book cover is not mine and I only found it from Pinterest! If the owner wants me to take it down, please notify me and I'd gladly obey! Additionally, the setting of my story is not placed in Earth but in a different world, only thought of and created by my little brain. Everything about this universe will be explained as the story goes by, so please look forward to it! Thank you! - cathcatya
