Illusion Forms The Saga of Hidden Identity

ILLUSION FORMS — THE SAGA OF HIDDEN IDENTITY "Can a single thought become a death sentence? Can a spoken word reshape reality?" Legend speaks of an ancient era where power was so absolute that even a faint thought of betrayal or harm towards the Supreme beings resulted in instant death, regardless of distance. Their every word was an immutable law, and their 'Vows' were unbreakable chains of destiny. It is said that these terrifying powers were eventually bound within primordial Seals, for no mortal vessel could ever contain such a devastating cosmic weight without shattering. But where those powers went remains the world's greatest mystery. In a modern era dominated by vampires and shadows, three strangers find themselves entangled in a fate they cannot comprehend: The Silent Mask: A child who survives behind a fragile veil of innocence. Trusting no one and relying only on himself, he is a master of manipulation, subtly controlling the minds and circumstances of those around him for his own protection. He is the quiet storm that no one sees coming. The Invisible Pull: A youth with defiant eyes and unwavering confidence. He is haunted by an unexplainable magnetic pull toward people he has never met, as if his very soul is searching for its missing fragments. The Stern Shell: A ruthless protector who has turned his heart into stone to shield his own. Wary of outsiders and fiercely loyal, he guards his secrets with a cold, lethal precision. As the ancient Seals begin to crack, a terrifying question arises: Are these three merely victims of fate, or are they the very catastrophe the world tried to lock away? "A true ruler does not need a blade to conquer. He only needs to speak—and the world shall kneel."

Lord Of Beasts

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! Note: The novel is a gritty version of the typical hunter/awakener novels with a beast twist, which I hope you will enjoy Feel free to reach out on Instagram/Discord: BerserkBaldy P.S.

Extra: The Path to Survival

Nicholas Blackheart died with no regrets. A brilliant Genetic Surgeon in his previous life, he dragged the man responsible for his death into the abyss with him and expected oblivion. Instead, he woke up inside his favourite novel. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Not even as a supporting character. He became Nicholas Blackheart, a name mentioned only once in the entire story before being forgotten forever. To make matter worse the world he entered was already doomed. The novel had been so successful that several comics and games were created with alternate endings. But again and again, heroes rose to stop the Cult of Satan. Again and again, they failed. Even when they succeeded, something worse happened. In the main ending where they managed to kill Satan, the battle awakens a fallen god that lays waste to their world. In some endings where the heroes managed to destroy Satan's Vessel, he simply possessed the protagonist, and everyone gets slaughtered immediately after. In one of the games Nick personally played where he managed to destroy Satan without awakening any of the fallen gods... guess what 72 dukes popped right after and the slaughter commenced anyway. Every ending... no matter how creative led to extinction. Nicholas knows this because he played every route, read every chapter, and witnessed every ending. There is no happy ending. So unlike the protagonist, he has no intention of saving the world. His goal is simple: Survive. Blessed with the Soul Ability Adapt, Nicholas discovers a terrifying path to power. By grafting the organs, blood, bones, and tissues of monsters into his own body, he can permanently inherit fragments of their abilities. Each graft makes him stronger. Each graft makes him less human. As ancient gods stir, daemonic cults spread, and reality itself begins to fracture, Nicholas starts building something of his own from the shadows. A future beyond the apocalypse. A path no one in the original story ever walked. Because when the end of the world finally arrives, Nicholas Blackheart doesn't plan to be one of its victims. He plans to be long gone.

Tenacity of the Monarch

Numen's death is only the beginning. Evelyn, a former human who ascended to omnipotence through countless reincarnations and stolen powers, plucks his soul from oblivion. Bored after eons of existence, she chooses him as her latest entertainment and hurls him into the brutal Warhammer 40,000 universe. Unlike most souls, Numen's bends rather than breaks. Though his memories are erased, his instincts, adaptability, and sarcasm remain. He awakens in the underhive of an Imperial Hive World with nothing but a twisted System and the cryptic title "Monarch." Weak, unarmed, and alone, Numen navigates a grimdark labyrinth of gangs, Enforcers, ancient vaults, and horrors lurking beneath civilization. His progression system revolves around Exploits, rewarding him with powers for dangerous or absurd feats. Darkly humorous, the System frequently comments on his actions and reflects Evelyn's mischievous interference. As Numen adapts to violence and danger, he grapples with identity, morality, and the knowledge that his suffering is a cosmic spectator sport. Evelyn serves as patron, audience, and possible future ally. Her genuine enjoyment of Numen's growth may mask a deeper emotional investment. This complex relationship is a central pillar of the story, as Numen's sarcastic pragmatism and psychological resilience clash with his loneliness and existential dread. Surviving against impossible odds, he begins to suspect that the "Monarch" designation is more than a cruel joke. The System's bizarre rewards and Evelyn's interventions hint at hidden powers and forgotten memories. Numen's rise from scavenger to leader unfolds within the Warhammer 40,000 universe's terrifying grandeur. He builds factions, claims territory, and gains political influence. What begins as a dark comedy of survival transforms into a saga of power and identity, with Numen struggling to understand his role in a game far larger than he imagined. As Evelyn watches with growing interest, Numen's authority and ambition expand. The cost of survival mounts, but so do the stakes. With each new challenge, he edges closer to the truth of his existence and the terrifying potential of his "Monarch" destiny. The story balances grimdark horror with absurdity, as Numen's internal commentary and the System's dark wit provide levity amid the chaos. Ultimately, Numen's journey is one of transformation. From pawn to player, he emerges as a force that could reshape the galaxy, but only if he can survive the cosmic game Evelyn has set in motion. Themes of persistence, adaptation, and the search for meaning drive a narrative where entertainment and power collide, leaving Numen to wonder if he is a Monarch or merely a pawn in an omnipotent being's endless diversion. __________________________ Disclaimer This is a non-commercial fan work created for entertainment purposes.

Undressed By The Mafia God

Warning: Heavy sexual content and a fucked up male lead. Throw morally grey out the window. Excerpt: "Do you trust me?" His hand drifted to her neck. If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation. Her entire body shivered as she nodded, heart hammering, her pulse a wild drum against her ribs. "Always use your words, Bambola. Do you trust me?" he asked again. "Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’.
