mystery

With powers beyond anything he’s ever imagined, Varun finally stands up to his bullies… and wins. At first, it feels like a dream come true. But dreams can turn into nightmares. As Varun begins testing the limits of his abilities, he realizes these powers are not normal — and they’re not safe. Just when he thinks he’s in control, a strange man appears from the shadows. Calm, dangerous, and smiling like he knows something Varun doesn’t. “You’re playing with forces you can’t understand, boy. I didn’t give you those powers as a gift. They were a test. And now... it’s time to take them back.” The man isn’t just after Varun’s powers — he’s after something much bigger. A secret buried deep inside Varun that could decide the fate of the entire world. As chaos spreads and darker enemies emerge, Varun must uncover the truth about his powers, his past, and his purpose. Because he’s not the only one with powers. And in this game, only one can survive.

“I’m not saying I’m unlucky, but my school has an evacuation plan with my name on it.” — Elias Elias has always had absurd luck—the kind that lets him dodge near-death experiences on a daily basis. Like the eye of a storm, he always walks away unharmed… but those around him aren’t always so lucky. It’s earned him the affectionate nickname “Walking Disaster.” When his parents vanish and he unlocks the “Lucky God System,” Elias realizes his weird life was just the tutorial—and maybe all those “accidents” weren’t just bad luck after all. Between daily disasters, a mysterious system, and his missing parents, Elias is in way over his head. “One wrong move and the cafeteria might explode again!” --- Author Note: I'm pretty new as an author and am mainly doing this story for fun. I wanted to make a system-trope story without all the sub-tropes I really hate in this genre—like braindead villains, harems of women who are only there for eye candy and fall head over heels for the main character, side characters with no substance other than to serve as foils, or trashy, arrogant, or stupid protagonists who get a system for literally no reason. I do hope you guys like it, but I won't be too hurt if you don't. I'm making this for my own fun and not trying to write an award-winning novel or anything. But of course, if you like something or have ideas on how it can be better, feel free to mention it! I'll try to post a chapter at least once or twice a week, but if I'm in a groove, I might post way more.

[Trigger Warning: This dark fantasy romance contains mature themes.] --- SYNOPSIS: •A WORLD BUILT ON LIES• Long ago, humans lived unaware of the supernatural beings hidden among them—werewolves with their primal instincts, witches whispering spells in the dark, and elves with their ancient, watchful eyes. For centuries, they coexisted in fragile silence. Then, everything shattered. Near the shadow-drenced woods of the Shadow pack kingdom, human traveler stumbled upon a gruesome scene: an old woman’s lifeless body, her skin ashen, her wounds gaping like accusations. A few paces away lay a dead werewolf, its throat ripped open, its muzzle still flecked with blood. The truth was undeniable—monsters walked among them. Fear ignited war. Humans, armed with fire and steel, hunted the supernatural races. Witches and elves were dragged into the slaughter, their homes burned, their people butchered. The bloodshed raged until King Alfred V of the Amethyst Kingdom stood before the four Werewolf Kings—Silverhowl, Crimsonheart, Shadow, and Wildfire—and offered a deal drenched in poison. A sacrifice for peace. Every twenty years, each human family would surrender a daughter to the werewolves. And in return, the future Alpha Kings must wed a human—or the war would reignite. The werewolves agreed. The witches and elves retreated, their hatred festering like an open wound. The world remained fractured, its peace a fragile lie. --- •THE PROPHECY OF FIRE• In the hidden Blaze Tribe, where crimson eyes burned like embers, the seer Prophetia foresaw annihilation. "Our people will fall," she rasped, her voice trembling. "But from the ashes, a girl will rise—the one who will bring true peace… and the one they will slaughter for it." The tribe made a desperate pact. They would cast a spell—a curse of forgotten memory—erasing their existence from the world’s mind. Their souls would be the price, but their legacy would live on in Ovelia, the child of prophecy. The night the Blaze Tribe fell, Ovelia’s parents hid her in the whispering forest, their hands shaking as they sealed a goddess—Firera—inside her infant body. Then, they turned to face their doom. --- •FATE’S CRUEL WHISPER• Ace Draven—half-werewolf, half-witch prince of Silverhowl—had never believed in destiny. Until he found a crying infant in the forest. His wolf, Fenrir, howled in recognition. A crimson thread shimmered between them—mates. But Firera, watching from within Ovelia’s soul, snarled. "She’s a child. This is too soon." With a flick of her wrist and spell, she tore the memory from Ace’s mind, leaving only an empty ache in his chest. --- •TWENTY YEARS LATER: A SACRIFICE IGNITES• Ovelia has spent her life as a slave, raised by the cruel mayor of Timberline Village—a man who would gladly sacrifice her to spare his own daughter. The night of the sacrifice, the air reeks of damp earth and iron. Torches flicker as the werewolves emerge from the shadows. And then—Ace Draven steps forward. Their eyes meet. Fenrir *howls*. Ace’s claws unsheathe, his breath ragged. "You…" He doesn’t understand why his wolf is clawing at his ribs, why his pulse hammers at the sight of this stranger. But the bond between them burns hotter than vengeance. Ovelia doesn’t know him. He doesn’t recognize her. And yet, their souls scream in unison.

Their tongues had longed for the taste of earth; millennia of waiting had borne fruit. The tales of gods, hymns of dark ages had clawed their way to the 21st century. Long before light had grazed earth, gods and the paranormal walked the plains. Their limbs dragged across the land, forming mountains and tales of power. Like a canvas their fear spread, a virus spreading among the humans. But all tales. Must come to an end. The gods grew old, humans forgot, time passed by. Eventually their tales were stories told by midwives to scare children; their voices had echoed into the neverwhere—the abyss that had consumed them. Years passed, like the strokes of a brush. Humanity was at the peak of the world, or so they thought. On a fateful day, the gods returned to the 21st century. Their nostrils drunk with the scent of opioid rich scent of fear and blood. The abyss that had consumed them, sprayed them out like seeds of malice. On this very day, humans witnessed the stories they thought their grandparents had strewn. But among the terror, were individuals like Shinjiro Yurei. Who had nothing to lose. Tales are fabricated by the laws of fate. Join Shinjiro in his journey to the abyss, the one they call—The Neverwhere

"Knowledge is a curse," people often say. But in this world, knowledge is both a curse and a blessing. Humans have discovered how to access a realm beyond their minds—a metaphysical expanse called the "Ocean of Knowledge."

Those who manage to tap into this wondrous realm are called "seekers." Kale has always been an odd one—an orphan taken in by a sect member, a disgrace who couldn’t even access the Ocean of Knowledge.

The Hyuga branch family's trash? Fate handed me the worst script, but it doesn't matter; I was born to be the best actor. Are you ready? My name is Hyuga Kawa. I'm going to spin a colossal lie and make the entire ninja world dance to its tune. "This corpse is from the Otsutsuki clan? The ancestor of the Hyuga clan?" Orochimaru stared at the corpse, then at the Hyuga clansman beside him, his tongue lightly licking his lips. "Transplant these organs into your body, and then I will replace your soul…" "The Hyuga clan was once a more powerful ninja clan than the Uchiha!" Before the stone tablet that recorded the secrets of the Tenseigan, Hyuga Neji gouged out the Byakugan of the elder of the main family. He looked at the white-eyed youth before him. "What Uchiha Itachi can do, I can do too!" "Ninjas are the root of all chaos." Naruto stood on the ruins of Konoha, looking at the terrified crowd, and said coldly, "I will completely erase ninjas from this world!" As various hidden secrets were unearthed, a name gradually became known to everyone. In people's mouths, he was a mysterious and powerful existence, an executioner who slaughtered his own kin, a madman who brought destruction. "Otsutsuki Kawa?" As they uttered that name, all lies transformed into reality at that moment, and a figure stepped out, one stride at a time. The caged bird seal on his forehead shattered, the light of the Tenseigan shone as brilliantly as the stars, and Truth-Seeking Orbs transformed into a scepter in his hand. "Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?" Hyuga Kawa looked down at the ninja allied forces, like ants beneath his feet, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. This world was built upon lies anyway." "You won't experience any pain; you'll die peacefully, like the wind." I only share the most exquisite and beautiful novels. Don't forget to check out my other novels!

Prelude: Ashes of Red Smoke "The Zawgyi are no more." That is what the scrolls say. That is what the monks chant at dusk. That is what the silence of the jungle wants you to believe. Long ago, beneath mountains now lost to time and cloud, they walked barefoot on ash, breathing in iron and flame. They were alchemists, but not the kind who turned lead to gold. No — they wove spells with blood, crafted fire into orbs, carved death into bone. They bent nature, not for wisdom, but for power. For defiance. They called them "Zawgyi". Immortal, it was said. Touched by heaven, feared by the underworld. But even immortality has rules. And the Zawgyi, for all their brilliance, broke too many. When the stars bled red and the rivers turned to smoke, the world pushed back. Something older than gods, deeper than spells, rose from the black between time. The Zawgyi vanished. Some say they were sealed. Others, that they burned themselves into dust. A few believe… they wait. Now, centuries later, the world has changed. Skyscrapers rise. Satellites orbit. Cities hum. And no one remembers the old language of alchemy. But something stirs. Deep in the green shadows of the Htamanthi jungle, under ruins no one dares map, an ancient circle pulses with dull red light. One seal. Just one. Cracked by accident, or by fate. And far from the jungle, in a dusty corner of a university library, a lazy, debt-ridden student named "Thuta" yawns, stretches, and picks up a scroll that hasn't been touched in 300 years. The world will wish he hadn't. ---
