dark

A young girl, accused of murdering her own mother, finds herself branded a wanted fugitive. Determined to uncover the truth behind her mother's mysterious disappearance and prove her innocence, she embarks on a dangerous journey to unravel the secrets surrounding the case. But as she ventures deeper into a ruthless underworld filled with notorious criminals, betrayal, and hidden truths, she soon discovers that the answers she seeks may be more dangerous than she ever imagined. Will she succeed in clearing her name and exposing the truth? And more importantly, will she survive the deadly world of crime she has been thrown into?

The age when humanity conquers even the universe has finally arrived. Yet with it comes an era of darkness, as the universe itself is plunged into chaos. They say that whatever humanity touches, it eventually destroys. And now, the end seems closer than ever. People have abandoned their loyalty to their respective factions, choosing instead to wander the vastness of space, answering to no one but themselves. For their defiance, they were given a distinct name. They were called Renegades. Many have come and gone, lost to the endless void. But among them, one will rise, destined to challenge fate itself. And when that moment finally arrives, whatever once held them together will crumble beneath the weight of their destiny.

What does it mean to be human? In the far distant future where all life has seemingly perished, an astral meteor collides into the remnants of a giant mechanized disc located underground in an isolated ghost town. From the disc, a single entity awakens within cryostasis with only one clear path: "I must kill the Lords of METIS." She wields a blade surging with the life force of an ancient named Alfaic, whom she denounces upon first contact. She is an unnamed warrior, who is affectionately nicknamed Lyn (LYNBG52) by her comrades from a single mysterious code name tattooed on her left arm. Grotesque aggressive creatures known as the Rots are composed of a combination of rotting entities that roam the lands. Seeking to devour all life they come across, their relationship with the denizens of METIS and the apocalypse resembles more than just their sustenance, but a secret that Lyn must discover for herself if she is to save humanity or watch it perish.

“I swear it! I swear on the name of the Allfather, I will murder all of you! Rip you to shreds and feast on your insides. Can you hear me!? And his ravens will witness me conquer the North while you roll in your graves. Your stay in the underworld will not be a joyous one.” Ragnar’s nails sank deep into his skin, causing a wound that blended perfectly with the hole of the ripped-out eye. ᛖᚡᛖᚱᛚᚨᛋᛏᛁᚾᚷ ᚹᚨᚱ× ᚨ ᛋᚨᚷᚨ ᚠᚱᛟᛗ ᛏᚺᛖ ᚾᛟᚱᛏᚺ Ragnar was born with a rare mutation that gave him two magic types instead of one. Unfortunately, his mana pool was laughably small. He couldn't even tell when he was using magic; it would activate on its own without any visible changes besides leaving him incredibly tired a few seconds after his mana pool was completely depleted. Just as he was close to becoming an adult and his twelfth winter started, his village was attacked, his best friend betrayed him, and his father died. After his father's death and his best friend's betrayal, Ragnar swore he would murder everyone involved in the plot that took everything from him and then force them to watch from the afterlife as he achieved their dream of taking over the North.

In ages past when hope was spent and low, All creation stood bound within its quiet repose. Then did Reality tremble from a boundless might, And the earth quaked across the starless night. A star descended from the vast beyond, And bound reality in grief's most tragic bond. It stole the future in its greedy plight, Yet wept in secret at the ruined sight. With painted smiles it played a gentle part, And strove to heal each broken, wounded heart. Yet the star never found the words to seek amends, The answer on the tip of its tongue which it couldn't transcend. Its guilt endured, a weight upon its boundless soul, Awaiting forgiveness from the broken world. Wherefore to him whose destiny it had reft, It turned to mend the soul that it had left. The Bereft was lost, struggling with his blight, Yet the star became his new, endearing light. Until at last the end drew near, And to eternity the star must steer. In passing through the void it set things right, Returning the future it had plight. No soul recalled the star from then on, Save for the Bereft… whose longing was not gone.

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

The Gods ruled the heavens, demigods inherited divine privileges, and angels enforced their divine order. Elves claimed the Divine Forest, humans ruled the Central Lands, and dwarves possessed mountains overflowing with gold. Meanwhile, barbarians were condemned to the harshest lands in the world. Barbarians could survive in the worst environments, eat the poorest food, and endure hardships that would break ordinary people. They could tolerate almost anything the world threw at them. But there was one thing they would never tolerate. **If anyone dared to harm a member of a barbarian family, then they or he would turn the entire place red with blood.**

Year 744 A.D., Age of the Artisan. An era of steamcraft, alchemy, and the refined study of ancient workings guides the world into a flourishing age. Across the continent, gentle skybirds follow the railways, meadow blooms shimmer under lanternlight, and forgotten artifacts quietly find their way back to scholars’ tables. Yet beneath this vibrant progress, subtle disturbances ripple through reality in ways few can explain. Many describe them as early anomalies—fine fractures suggesting tensions between Order and Chaos. Research on Uniqueness accelerates, revealing possibilities that inspire as much caution as curiosity. Academies race to interpret these signs, but each discovery only deepens the mystery. Still, the world moves forward, confident in its achievements, unaware of the quiet strain beneath its foundations. A patient shadow stretches across the era, unnamed yet undeniable. And within this shifting age, Lucien de Noctval steps toward a path that will draw him closer to its center than he ever expects.

Some souls are born carrying echoes of another world. Raya has always felt like she is running out of time—haunted by dreams she can’t explain, memories that don’t feel like her own, and a presence that watches from the shadows of her life. As her world begins to fracture between reality and the unseen, she discovers that not all guardians are angels… and not all protectors come with mercy. Azriel was never meant to care. Bound by ancient laws and a past soaked in silence, he exists between vengeance and duty. But when Raya’s fate begins to unravel, their lives collide in ways neither of them can escape. As secrets surface, loyalties blur, and the line between protection and destruction fades, Raya must confront the truth about who she is—and what her existence could cost the world. Because some goodbyes are written long before they are spoken. And some endings are only the beginning.

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. However, there's one big problem that he hadn't realized. -- Bonus Chapters will depend on your votes: Power Stones, golden tickets, gifts, or even comments and reviews if the mood is great! 200 Power Stones: 1 extra chapter! 100 Golden Tickets: 1 extra chapter! 20 Golden Tickets: 3 extra chapters! 500 Golden Tickets: 5 extra chapters!
