dark

The night the moon vanished, the world didn’t end with fire — it ended with silence. Cities fell asleep with their eyes open. Shadows began to breathe. And inside every human spine, something ancient stirred — a Dormant, a monster born from the deepest part of the soul. Most people were devoured by their own awakening. Kael Vorrin wasn’t. A quiet mechanic who only wanted to survive the blackout, Kael became host to a Dormant that refused to eat him — it spoke. It called itself Ashveil. It remembered things humanity was never meant to know. Now Kael walks through the ruins of Valenreach, a city where light burns truth and darkness births life. Every step reveals more monsters — and more questions. Why did the moon go out? What are the Dormants really? And what happens when the thing inside him stops whispering and starts to wake? > Apocalyptic survival. Monsters. Memories. Hunger. The world forgot how to dream — and Kael is the reminder it left behind. ---

To summarize this story in one sentence: A boy is Chosen to stand against a person who was never meant to be evil but now rules it. In the long term, without any spoilers. It's about a boy who becomes a god but still chooses to be human. A story about the cost of power and why someone would want it. When seventeen-year-old Damon Vale lost his mother, his whole world cracked. Not just with grief, but also with an impossible truth. Damon is no longer just a high schooler dealing with gangs and betrayal; he is the descendant of a powerful Queen of Woewyn, a kingdom on a realm carrying good and bad in excess. Raised on Earth by the Queen who lied to save his life, Damon is gifted and burdened by a power that literally bends elements and is constantly on the verge of purging his own body. Now, ancient gods and demons are pouring in and out of The Multiverse, some disguised as humans. Chronisouls, some torment, some help. For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that hurts him from the inside out, or watch his life on Earth, including the one girl who sees past his walls, shatter forever. From quiet rooftops(literally) to cosmic wars(also literally), Damon must discover if saving existence means losing the simplicity he always wanted, getting something better... or obtaining worse. (He doesn't really look like the cover. I only used it 'cause a friend made it for me and it's pretty cool.)

A harsh universe reduces reality to a cruel binary: black and white. Demands sides between deity vs. devil, light vs. darkness, hope vs. despair, and love vs. apathy. The universe is an abandoned grave of lost stories remembered by no one, haunted by the lingering specter of a dead author. A boring sci-fi genre world awakened to a supernatural power, humanity's downfall, and monster rise. Einsamer Stern, a teenager, he was never meant to experience what life is. Living in a godless reality and a story that calls for his deletion from the script of a tyrannical celestial rulers. Or maybe he is only a chain of texts: a program of suffering that cycles through life, death, and deletion. What happens when a pawn transcends the game itself—when a cliché like “hope” stops being a slogan and becomes something real inside a story that has been abandoned multiple times? However, even hope could become a poison. As he unveiled the truth, it became terrifyingly clear that someone else still held total power over the narrative of his story.

The horror game has now selected Zephyr Reid, a random cook from a random cafe, as its next victim. Now that it's Zephyr's turn to become the next 'Lab Rat' of this incomprehensible and irresistible power, how long will he be able to survive? The only grace he has is that, unlike others, he has a hint system to help him out! (NO-HAREM, OVERPOWERED MC, AND DIABETIC ROMANCE!!) .

[Cover Character: Giselle Frost.] Elias Kane was supposed to be done. He had survived too many beautiful disasters, too many obsessive women, and too many games where love was just another name for ownership. He knew how to play innocent. He knew how to play desirable. He knew how to turn sweetness into a weapon and vulnerability into a trap. All he wanted now was a clean exit. Then he woke up in a near-future world built on female power, old money, public elegance, and private cruelty. Here, powerful women do not need to shout to be terrifying. They sign contracts. They buy silence. They smile for cameras, donate to hospitals, fund universities, and ruin lives with perfect manners. And Elias has landed directly in their line of sight. A cold CEO who mistakes possession for care. A woman who smiles softly even when she is about to ruin someone. A campus goddess wrapped in wealth, beauty, coldness, and quiet cruelty. A doctor who can open the mind and leave damage no one else can see. Every one of them wears perfection beautifully. Every one of them knows how to lie. Every one of them is capable of ruining him without ever raising her voice. This time, Elias is not walking into a messy romance plot he can outplay with patience and a better performance. He is walking straight into a inescapable cage built from contracts, surveillance, coercion, and desire sharp enough to cut. One wrong step, and he will lose more than his freedom. He will become something to keep, control, and ruin. Unfortunately for them, Elias has never been as helpless as he looks. He understands women like this. He understands hunger dressed up as tenderness, cruelty dressed up as protection, and obsession dressed up as love. All he wants is to survive, cash out, and disappear. Unfortunately, the women circling him have started wanting something else. By now, Elias understands the rule better than anyone. The cruelest women do not corner you. They draw you in. They make you step closer on your own. Then they close their hands and call it fate.

Mankind prospered in the modern age, but one day, everything changed. Mana descended onto the world, making a permanent change to society. Alongside it was also the appearance of monsters invading the world from the sky and from below. Gods pitied mankind and bestowed divine bloodlines, creating superhuman people called the Supernals who can fend off the invaders. But not everyone who became a Supernal is suited for the role. Those people are pariahs that don't belong anywhere, especially when there are quotas for each divine bloodline. In a world where society revolves around those with divine bloodlines, Kai is a Supernal with the lowest talent. He doesn't fit with normal people and is too ordinary to mingle with Supernals. He was ostracized for hogging a slot in a divine legacy, and his only family suffered for it. But Kai isn't weak. It's just that nothing could properly check his bloodline. [Primordial Bloodline awakened] [Patron God: Goddess of the Primordial Night] Now, with the bloodline of the final night inside him, he will bring terror to those who wronged him.
