mystery

Synopsis After transmigrating into a supernatural crossover world of anime and manga, Gin finds himself in a modern age where order is collapsing and the boundary between day and night has been rewritten—humans rule the day, while yokai dominate the night. In this dangerous new reality, he awakens a role-playing system and begins with the identity of the legendary founder of Onmyodo, Abe no Seimei. As his power grows, the entire supernatural world is thrown into chaos. Shuten-doji trembles in fear. “How can Abe no Seimei still be alive?!” The Onmyoji world is shaken to its core. “The founder of Onmyodo... has returned in the modern era?!” Hagoromo Gitsune gazes at him with motherly affection. “Seimei... my child, so you really have reincarnated...” Tamamo-no-Mae grits her teeth in hatred. “Abe no Seimei... my mortal enemy!” And as figures like Tsuchimiya Kagura, Eriri, and Shinomiya Kaguya are drawn into his orbit, Gin Tsumugi must rise in a world where monsters, curses, and ancient legends are returning one after another. In an age where darkness devours the night, can he truly become the modern Abe no Seimei—and stand above both humans and yokai?

Voldemort is dead. In his final moments, a bright, cheerful voice echoes in his mind. Would you like to start over? Tom Riddle answers yes without hesitation. Of course he wants another chance. Whatever the price is, he will pay it, as long as he gets to do it all again. When he opens his eyes, the former Dark Lord finds himself in an orphanage in 1991. Only this time, everything is wrong. He is no longer Tom Riddle. He is a girl named Tamara Riddle. And to make it worse, she is bound to a ridiculous Virtue System. [Welcome, your account has been bound to the Virtue System!] To become stronger, she must accumulate virtue points. Tom: I am Voldemort. I can kill whoever I want. [WARNING! Strong murderous intent and malicious attack detected!] [Penalty activated: Level 1 electric shock.] With her eyes still stinging from the shock, Tom forces a gentle, harmless smile, while quietly calculating how to eliminate everyone in the room. But as the days pass, she does not kill a single person. Instead, the people around her start to like her. Then trust her. Then protect her. And when the truth finally threatens to surface, nobody believes it for a second. Harry snaps, furious: “What nonsense are you spouting? Tamara cannot possibly be connected to the Dark Lord!” Tamara only sighs, soft and tired. “Sorry, Harry. He is already the Dark Lord.”

[Incest Warning—Mother, Big Sisters, Little Sister, Aunts, etc] After the death of his father, Jinwoo is confronted with dark secrets left behind in his wake. With only his mother, little sister, and two older sisters left, it is Jinwoo's job to step up and be the man of the house.

Kelser is a creature of solitude, a survivor devoid of warmth or emotion. His beauty is terrifying, matching the cold aura that surrounds him wherever he walks. He possesses no family, no sect, and no home—only a relentless drive to survive in a cultivation world that devours the weak. After years of wandering the treacherous Obsidian Peaks, Kelser stumbles upon a legendary ruin: the Tomb of the Ancient Asura.

Mia was the world’s perfect idol — platinum hair, hypnotic green eyes, and a voice that made millions feel seen. Her album Serpent Monarch wasn’t just music. It was a trap. Every track pulled listeners deeper: from “Welcome, Beautiful” to the final chant of the Nephilim. Fans thought they were falling in love with a pop star. They were joining something ancient. Now the voices in Mia’s head aren’t just fans anymore. They are a parliament of alters voting for survival. After a psychic crash, she flees to the Sanctuary — a hidden monastery where an AI known as Odin watches, doctors speak in riddles, and a one-eyed man with a cane offers the only thing she never had: a choice. But the songs are still playing. The serpent is still whispering. And the crown she helped build is coming for her. A dark psychological thriller about identity, fame, and the moment an idol realises she was never the queen — she was the bait.

Xu Yang should have died. Instead, he awakened inside a book he once read trapped in a cultivation world ruled by ruthless Heaven and merciless laws. His new identity? A Cat Demon. Granted nine lives, each bound to a cruel condition: death is mandatory. Every life is a cycle. Every death pushes him deeper into the story he never finished. As righteous sects hunt demons and fate tightens its grip, Xu Yang must survive a world that sees him as prey and a Heaven that demands his obedience. But destiny makes mistakes. Somewhere in this world stands a man who was never meant to care for demons, never meant to defy Heaven, and never meant to fall in love. In a story where death is guaranteed, what happens when love becomes the variable Heaven cannot control? First time writing fantasy story! Hope you enjoy:)

Set in a dreamworld where humans and other beings have evolved extraordinary abilities. This peculiar world seems beyond our ordinary comprehension —still somehow reflects our very own, a world full of beauty & joy entwined with pain & sorrow. Step forth into this dreamlike experience with me—the Narrator—as we witness and unravel this world's horrifying past, captivating present and the uncertain future... and perhaps, within this puzzle of fate, you may find a piece of yourself.

Soren hated it. That feeling of being weak, knowing everything he cared about could be taken from him at any time. Codex. Codices draw from ancient power, power from the unknown. Dangerous beings from all of time fuel their power, and Soren had taken his first steps into a unknown world who wants nothing more than to swallow him whole. He cursed and cursed, everything had gone wrong for him. "Why me?" "What the hell is happening?" Questions asked, but none could answer. "You think this is the end?" He could only spit out bitter words at nothing in particular. "Not like this."

Strategic MC • Kingdom Building • Divine System • Ruthless Protagonist • Empire Growth The world of Theos Online was a battlefield of gods. Players built civilizations, shaped faith, and waged divine wars for supremacy. At the top stood Zephyr — Rank One. Untouchable. Calculating. Ruthless. He didn’t just win. He engineered inevitability. But in the real world, anonymity is fragile. When his identity is exposed, a coordinated smear campaign tears his life apart, stripping him of reputation, future, and finally — breath. Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, he awakens in another world. Different sky. Different history. Same Divine System. The rules that governed Theos Online now govern reality itself. While others pray to survive, Zephyr understands the code beneath the gods. He knows the exploits. The hidden mechanics. The logic no one else sees. He may not know this world’s past. But he knows exactly how to conquer its future. From a starving village to a rising divine empire, Zephyr will bend faith into machinery, turn belief into power, and reduce rival gods to footnotes in history. The game is gone. The system remains. And this time, there are no respawns.

Ten years under the Dursleys’ roof stripped Alexandra Potter of warmth, trust, and any lingering affection she once held for family. What remained was a sharp tongue, a guarded heart, and a worldview shaped by neglect rather than hope. Friendless and cynical, she learned early that kindness was a luxury rarely afforded to her. On her eleventh birthday, a letter from a magical school offers what seems like an escape—but salvation is never simple. Magic does not erase scars, and Alexandra is no wide-eyed dreamer. A devoted reader of The Lord of the Rings, she understands too well that every world has its darkness, every journey its cost, and every hero their breaking point. This is not a story of innocence found—but of power claimed, shadows embraced, and a girl who refuses to be weak ever again. ______________________________________________________________________ Want to read the next chapters early?

In a world where the chosen bear Divine Scars glowing outlines channeling infinite power leaked by Singular Beings humans forge abilities from that endless divine energy. One outline: Lightlinger. Two: Lightrozer. Their strength is bound to one or two domains, dictated by which Divine's energy flows through their scar. However, some only have an outline, with no scar. But the world is never fair. Those not chosen, driven by envy, turn to a darker path. They become Darkens killing and absorbing finite souls through cursed artifacts called Ghost Vaults. Unlike the limited Lights, Darkens craft unpredictable, often fatal abilities from stolen life essence. Souls are finite, and the hunt never ends. The vastness of existence holds boredom in some corners… and alongside it, curiosity guiding everything. Age of Layers dives into the hearts of broken souls where guilt never fades, promises warp lives, and fragile bonds are the only defiance against an indifferent cosmos. It asks one question: What are humans? What to expect : Multiple shifting POVs and perspectives (the story moves fluidly between characters in a mosaic style) Slow-burn psychological dark fantasy focused on human nature, lies, trauma, and coping mechanisms Complex, flawed characters with deep inner contradictions and realistic emotional struggles Themes of indifference, rewritten reality, and “what are humans?” under pressure Non-linear mosaic storytelling with frequent scene shifts, flashbacks, and quiet horror Gradual escalation from intimate family drama and personal fractures to larger cosmic events No traditional heroes or fast power fantasy — the real conflict is internal and systemic

Good news: You've transmigrated! And you have a phenomenally powerful master! Bad news: When you were ten, your master ran off and left his wife behind, leaving you to prop up the crumbling sect all by yourself. Good news: An uninvited junior sister shows up, claiming to be the number one beauty in the world! Bad news: You were born blind. Good news: Suddenly, one day, you realize you have regained your sight! Bad news: Something is wrong with your junior sister… Something is wrong with your master's wife… Something is wrong with all of them! … You Su , who had always been a blind man, wakes up one day to see giant tentacles dripping with copper-green slime writhing restlessly all around him. He traces the tentacles back to their source—the entity wearing that snow-white, celestial dress is no holy fairy maiden, but a shifting grotesque mass of filthy flesh. … “You can see?” “Don't be afraid, Fairy. I'm blind.”

In the war-scarred Arcanen Realm, peace is nothing more than a fragile illusion. For centuries, the Human Kingdom of Wirhan and the Demon Kingdom of Vragxyl have waged endless wars, their hatred written in blood and passed down through generations. Meanwhile, the witches of Solarik remain neutral, guarding secrets older than history itself. When a devastating conflict threatens to drive both races to extinction, a desperate treaty is forged, and the heirs of the three kingdoms are sent to the Academy of the Triad—a neutral ground where titles hold no power and ancient magic is sealed. Sierra Ashbourne, the human crown princess, has been raised to despise demons. Agor, the infamous Shadow Prince, is feared across the realm as a monster born of darkness. Forced to stand beneath the same roof, they become unwilling participants in a fragile peace neither truly trusts. But the Academy hides more than political games. Whispers of forgotten prophecies begin to surface. Secrets buried for centuries awaken within the shadows. And beyond the walls, something ancient stirs—a force capable of reducing the three kingdoms to ashes. With rivalries deepening, loyalties tested, and enemies lurking behind smiling faces, Sierra and Agor must decide whether to cling to the hatred that shaped them… Or risk everything for a truth powerful enough to change the fate of the world. Because some bonds are stronger than war. And some prophecies were never meant to remain. EXCERPTS She had been so lost in the prose, so consumed by the fictional fire and ice of the hero's touch, that she never heard him approach. "Well, well…" a deep voice drawled from the shadows. "I didn't take you for the type to enjoy such literature, Little Flame." Sierra nearly jumped out of her skin. Standing a few feet away, arms crossed and eyes gleaming with wicked amusement, was Agor. "I-it's just a book," she stammered, clutching it to her chest. "Oh, I'm sure it is." Before she could react, the Shadow Prince plucked the novel from her grasp and flipped through its pages. "Agor!" His smirk deepened. Then, in a low, husky voice that sent heat racing to her cheeks, he read aloud. "'His lips traced down her throat, marking her as his own—'" "Agor! Stop it!" A chuckle rumbled in his chest. "Didn't think you had such interests, Little Flame." Sierra glared at him. "You're insufferable." "And yet," he murmured, stepping closer, dark eyes fixed on her flushed face, "you're still standing here." His gaze dropped briefly to her lips before returning to her eyes. "Tell me, Princess…" He leaned close enough for his breath to brush her ear. "Do the books make you feel something?"

The most powerful sword was broken in an ancient war and now its spirit is reborn in a common sword and bought by a girl named Li Qingming. The sword spirit senses that Li, though weak now, boasts some traces familiar to it, which remind it of its former owner and his friends.

Zhang Fan, a university graduate, is on a sightseeing tour the day the Jade Scroll Transmission is conducted at the Zhenwu Mountain. The Ancestral Master once prophesized: 'The Zhenwu lineage will be passed for seventy-three generations, and due to Ordinary Tribulation, descendants will emerge.' "Neither absolute nor extinct, there will be a pause at the seventy-third generation..." "The lineage of True Martial Mountain has reached the seventy-third generation today, is the heavenly mandate coming to an end?"

Chen Lu Si finds a strange stone and meets a strange girl during his tomb sweeping. After the girl slashes him with a sword, he finds that he couldn't control his whole body but his mouth, and his hands are turning into swords. "I have no objections to the rest, but I think the danger sequence should be upgraded to A. His Transforming Blade ability is too dangerous for ordinary people... And I don't think recruiting him into Celestial Strategy is a good idea." "C, you saw it earlier; his arm got dislocated cutting a bullet. Although it can barely handle modern weapons, it's uncertain against fully automatic weapons."

But soon, Cheng Ye realizes these Infected Bodies are nothing like he imagined! Here, there are Death Language Tentacles that can bring people back to life, surviving through sheer will. There are Death Dandelions that can instantly cover a two-kilometer radius, infecting everything in its range.
