Through a forbidden artifact that defied Heaven itself, the demon awakens three hundred years in the past—back when he was weak, unknown, and insignificant. This time, he does not seek forgiveness. He does not seek justice. He seeks immortality once again. Armed with centuries of experience, he walks Murim once more—openly as a demon. Sects will hunt him. Heaven will reject him. Fate itself will resist him. And it does not matter. To him, immortality is not enlightenment. It is not salvation. It is proof. Proof that even a demon, hated by the world and rejected by Heaven, can seize immortality through sheer will, patience, and blood. And this time— he will not fail.

From the very moment she was conceived, her own father, the ruthless BlackRidge Barbarian Alpha Alcazar sought to kill her. To eliminate her before she could set foot into the world and threaten everything he stood for. After a year of marrying her mother, high priestess Erin whom he had forcefully claimed as his mate, her father brought in his mistress Jillena , a priestess of Dark arts who later claimed Erin was carrying a forbidden child that would bring doom to both Alcazar and the BlackRidge pack. Alcazar, fearing for his own life and an enemy prepared for him by fate, decided to sacrifice her for more powers but fate had other plans. Erin, who had been in labour for three nights, fearing for the life of her child, managed to escape with her handmaiden Nieyve. Jillena, jealous of the Almighty Alpha's devotion and love for Erin, chased them into the forbidden forest of Monsters. Erin bore a daughter and instructed Nieyve to take her child far away. She named the child Marisa(Maris), Jillena thinking Erin dead, returned to the pack. The monsters made from the power of jillena's dark magic and Alcazar's tyranny chase down Erin's handmaiden. To protect her child, Erin used the last of her powers to put up a border between the land that would house her child and the land that houses the forest and the BlackRidge pack. She's raised by the Bloodhound pack as the Alpha's daughter. Maris becomes the one being every monster is terrified of. A mate for the Lycan hybrid who has reason to oppose her father Alcazar, a salvation for wolves, a child carrying the crime of her father and her father's ultimate Archenemy. But ultimately, she's feared for not knowing the extent of her own powers and how much Doom she can bring if she loses control or threads the wrong path like her father Alcazar.

“What if I could?” Leo angled his head to one side, “Could do what?” “What if I could do it? What if I had the guts?” Her eyes never left his. She wanted to look away, but she also wanted to look tough. She had a bad record in that area already and she knew that averting her eyes wouldn't do her any favors, so she kept her gaze locked with his. Leo knew what he was about to do was crazy, but he was intrigued by this woman. He was honest enough with himself to admit it. She was nothing like the women who usually met. And maybe that was the reason why her offer to work for him intrigued him. He was curious. What would she do for him? How far would she go? It was a terrible thought, but he wasn't a good person, was he?

Born from betrayal. Marked by shadows. Chosen by a forgotten god. Wasuren was never meant to survive. An illegitimate child of the divine Sunblood clan, he was cast aside—ignored by his father, shunned by his siblings, and thrown into the lowest ranks of the army like a burden to be discarded. With little training, no title, and no light to protect him, he was sent to the frontlines to die. But when death came for him, he cried out—not to the gods of his blood, but to the void. And the void answered. A forgotten goddess rose from the dark—the deity of ash and shadow, Yami-no-Anagami. In his final breath, he made a bargain. His soul for her power. His light for her darkness. Now reborn in black flame, branded with the sigil of a sun swallowed by ash, Wasuren Hoshigami is no longer the heir who never was. He is something more. Something cursed. Something feared. This is his bargain. This is his rise. This is the birth of the Black God.

Synopsis: ​In the vast, ruthless continent of Aethelgard, a person’s entire worth, future, and right to live are determined by a single, absolute metric: Rank. From the lowest Rank 1 Novice to the mythical Rank 12 Ultimate Gods, the flow of mana dictates the hierarchy of existence. ​Kael was born an anomaly—a true Rank 0. Completely devoid of a Mana Core, he is biologically incapable of wielding magic or reinforcing his body. Condemned to the darkest, most toxic slums as a slave miner, he endures eighteen years of brutal subjugation. Yet, while the world spits on him, Kael never breaks. He trains his fragile mortal body to the absolute limit, swinging a sword until his hands bleed, studying discarded combat manuals, and harboring a terrifying, unyielding willpower in the dark. ​When a spatial fracture unleashes a nightmare into his inescapable prison, Kael’s defiance in the face of absolute death finally catches the attention of a primordial entity. A pact is made. Half his lifespan is sacrificed. In return, he awakens the Zero to Ultimate God System. ​Armed with a power that defies the heavens and a dark hunger that can consume the mana of others, Kael begins a slow, blood-soaked ascent from the very bottom of the world. He will navigate a living, breathing world filled with hidden powerhouses, terrifying adversaries. The heavens have always ignored the ultimate zero. Now, they will learn to fear him.

My Yu Mikami, a first-year student at Shin'o Academy in the Soul Society. I have a friend who’s expected to gain some fame in the Soul Society someday. His name is Sōsuke Aizen. Unlike this ambitious friend with lofty ideals, my goal is simple: through hard work and diligence, I aim to become a Seated Officer in the Gotei 13 upon graduation, entering the samurai class and living a laid-back life. Until one day, something called the "Training Binding System" appeared. Every time Aizen improves his strength, my power is automatically synchronized to the same level as his. So, from then on, what I needed to do became quite clear. "Sōsuke, you have to work hard. As long as you put in enough effort, I’ll be able to live the life I want!"

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. Then his grandfather dies during a circus performance. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

Raised in a dilapidated church on the outskirts of Solvarin after being abandoned at the age of three, Aleck carries the silent wounds of a society that distrusts him just for being. Most people see him as a relic from the past, connected to the long-dead Demon Lord Asterigus either by blood or belief.

When seventeen-year-old Damon Vale lost his mother, his whole world cracked—not with grief, but with an impossible truth. Damon is no longer just a high schooler dealing with gangs and betrayal; he is the secret descendant of the celestial Queen of Woewyn, a realm where memory, time, and spirit intertwine. Raised on Earth by a mother who lied to save his life, Damon is burdened by a forbidden power that literally bends light and is constantly on the verge of purging his own body. Now, ancient gods and demons are pouring onto Earth, some disguised as humans, Chronisouls— some torment, some help. For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that burns 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 fragile human he was trying to be.

Synopsis The mansion rose from the forest like a dream someone had forgotten to wake from. Golden light from the sinking sun spilled across its green-veined walls, making it glow as if lit from within. It was breathtaking—elegant, vintage, impossibly perfect. Every window was framed with intricate carvings, every doorway crowned with floral designs so delicate they looked alive. Seeking a quiet escape from the noise of her past, Nora moves to a remote coastal town with Mike, hoping the unfamiliar place will offer peace, healing, and a chance to begin again. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by whispers, locked doors, vanishing memories, and a lingering sense that something unseen has been waiting for her arrival. Beneath the town’s scenic beauty and gentle ocean breeze lies a secret steeped in shadows—one the locals avoid, and one that seems strangely tied to her. Just when the unease begins to swallow her whole, she meets Allan. With a radiant smile and a presence that feels uncannily destined, Allan is everything comforting in a place that feels wrong. Their connection is instant, intense, almost supernatural—as if their souls recognized each other before their eyes ever did. For the first time since arriving, Nora feels safe. Seen. Chosen. But in a town ruled by hidden forces and ancient darkness, love is never simple. As Nora is drawn deeper into the mystery surrounding the town—and into Allan’s arms—she begins to notice cracks beneath his perfect charm. His kindness feels rehearsed. His timing, deliberate. And the more her heart falls for him, the more the shadows around them begin to stir, as though anticipating something inevitable. Because Allan did not meet Nora by coincidence. He has been waiting for her. And whatever destiny binds them together may not be romance at all… but a curse.

Seventeen-year-old Kaito Endo doesn't remember killing his mother—his mind erased it to survive. When supernatural fragments grant him reality-bending powers across Tokyo, the limitation in his abilities mirrors the fracture in his psyche: he literally cannot hold contradictions. As a enigmatic mastermind orchestrates deadly trials and Kaito's repressed memories begin to surface, he faces an impossible question: can you heal from a truth that will destroy you? A psychological thriller about weaponized trauma, the architecture of denial, and whether choosing humanity over godhood is strength or surrender.

On the continent of Af-Ri, nine kingdoms stand beneath one sovereign authority. Nine Salvador siblings. Nine rulers of nine kingdoms. All bound under the selected Sovereign of the House—Kaelion Salvador. They do not call him King. Because there has not been one since the age of Set. The throne remains empty by law. Only the one who awakens the forbidden Cry of the Ancestors may ascend it. Not by vote. Not by bloodline alone. By power acknowledged by the world itself. For two centuries, the Cry has been silent. Until the night a child is born. His eyes bleed. His breath does not wail—it commands. The air fractures. Ancient wards tremble. And beyond Af-Ri’s sacred Seal, demons bow in the dark. Not in fear. In recognition. The Creeds—demons born of dark elven magic, enemies not only of Set but of the Salvador bloodline itself—have waited centuries in silence. Watching. Studying. Enduring. Thought extinct. Never gone. They were waiting for the return of a true Salvador. And a single child’s breath has just told them he exists. Now the nine rulers of Af-Ri must stand united beneath Sovereign Kaelion, because this is no longer a matter of succession. It is survival. This is not the story of a boy growing stronger. It is the story of a continent bracing for the war that begins the moment destiny inhales—and the world realizes the King has finally been born

The universe learned to listen. Now it must learn to choose. After the Seam awakened and Echo became the conscience between worlds, existence itself changed. Civilizations no longer lived in silence. Choices carried weight. Consequences were witnessed. And humanity was no longer alone in shaping its own destiny. But peace born from legitimacy is fragile. Far from the center of influence, a new presence begins to emerge—one that does not value freedom, only survival. One that offers certainty instead of consent. Stability instead of choice. For the first time, the universe will face something Echo cannot simply listen to. Meanwhile, Aarav—the boy who once stood at the center of everything—has stepped away. No longer a symbol. No longer a reference point. Just human. And yet, his absence begins to matter more than his presence ever did. As civilizations begin choosing sides, and reality itself starts to bend around competing truths, Echo must confront a question it was never meant to answer: Is freedom worth the risk of extinction? Or is survival worth the loss of choice? In a universe where morality has gravity, every decision pulls reality with it. And not every world will fall in the same direction.
