"The Immortal Tao has no name... The Tao that has a name is not the true Tao... the name that can be named is not the true name..."

At twenty-two, Ishmael "Ishy" Farron believed his mother’s death was the heaviest burden he would ever carry. He was wrong. When overwhelming grief summons the Catalyst Anchor, a parasitic mark appears as a dark blood-colored bruise on his neck — a tether that drags his soul into the Fallen Dream, a nightmarish realm born from sorrow. Waking on a desolate shore of crushed bone and endless crimson waves, Ishy is immediately shackled by a burning iron chain that bites into his flesh and feeds on his pain. The Anchor offers no mercy. It offers trials. Hunted by ruthless Awakened Hunters who enter the dream through blood rituals, Ishy is nothing more than a living "key" — a fresh Infected soul they plan to exploit to plunder the Graveyards of the Fallen Gods, tombs of dead deities still leaking dangerous power. Thrown into a caravan of fellow grieving youths, all marked and chained like livestock, Ishy must survive soul-crushing trials, opportunistic predators, and the seductive promises of the Anchor itself. Every step deeper into the ruins forces him to confront a brutal truth: Grief is the soil. The Anchor is the root. And if he wants to live, he may have to become something far darker than the broken son who once stood at his mother’s grave.

Journey with a student who fell in love with it's Professor. But what if the professor has a dark past life?

In a world fractured by a silent war among the gods, peace is nothing more than a fragile illusion. Long ago, the heavens split—divine beings turned on one another, casting the fallen gods into exile. Though bound from fully entering the mortal world, they have not been idle. Through whispers, blood pacts, and chosen vessels, they reach into the world once more, waging a hidden war that bleeds into reality itself. Feared above all are demons—beings believed to be born of the fallen gods. Hated, mistrusted, and often hunted, their existence is seen as a curse upon the world… even when some prove otherwise. Among them is a girl who should have died. Offered as a sacrifice by her own clan to one of the most dangerous of the exiled gods—the Shadow God, a being of deceit, death, and chaos—she survives. Not by mercy, but by something far worse. She becomes bound to him as an unwilling avatar, a living conduit for a power she neither understands nor accepts. But she escapes. Now hunted by the weight of what she carries, she wanders a war-torn world where reality itself begins to fracture under divine conflict. Shadows move where they should not. Creatures born from distortion and fear slip into existence. And somewhere beyond the veil, the god bound to her watches… waits… and whispers.

My grammar isn't the best, plus I'm starting to suspect both my breaking keyboard and failing autocorrect is scheming against me, so sorry about that. I made this while drawing inspiration from my half-baked knowledge of different stuff I've read as well as a story I wrote in secret back in high school (that I never showed anyone, or finished). I wanted to include as many different things as I possibly could when i started writing this stuff which is probably why it is such a mess (especially the names. I wanted to use names from different places in the world, but it got confusing.) I don't want to offend anyone or make any statements on anything in my writing. It is mostly just for self-amusement. That being said, if you like it then good for you. And if you don't, then why are you still here? Shoo! Go! Get out of here! Anyways, enjoy! Oh look! My note is longer than the synopsis! Lets make it longer! Oh look, a butterfly! Whee! Byeeeee!

For centuries, the night creatures hunted the sea’s children. Vampires were the first to discover mermaids, and once their blood touched a vampire’s tongue, obsession followed. They drained the mermaids dry, their tears crystallizing into precious pearls, their flesh claimed by werewolves to control their transformations, and their bones taken by witches for powerful, permanent spells. In this world, a mermaid is more than a being—she is a source. Now, the hunted are striking back. The mermaids rise against the vampires who began it all. But when fate pushes a young mermaid into the path of a vampire prince, the line between enemy and ally begins to blur. As centuries of revenge ignite a war, love blooms in the unlikeliest of places. In a world drowning in blood and betrayal, can love stop a war centuries in the making… or will it only hasten their destruction?

Space folds without direction. And existence itself begins to reject its own rules. As the boundaries of reality dissolve, Akira is forced to confront a truth no one was meant to see. There was never more than one world. There was never separation. Everything—past, present, and future—was always one. But something divided it. Something is still controlling it. And now… it has noticed him. With a mysterious presence watching from beyond existence and a connection that refuses to disappear, Akira must decide: Will he accept the system that defines reality… or break it completely? Because once the truth is revealed— there is no returning.

Previously, it was called Reincarnated as a Supernatural Horror Entity. Jack, a content creator for mystery, horror, and conspiracy stories, died and was reborn as a formless ghost. He acquired the system-panel like ability to get stronger. He could earn new supernatural traits. And he could even evolve and gain new incarnations. The problem was... he was now in an alternate Earth. The one that was still in the Industrial Revolution Era. The one with cursed steam engines, monster-infested sea exploration, mysterious pirates, supernatural powers, mythical creatures, demonic entities, and completely different geography. Jack had to adapt and survive. Thus, the legends of the Circle of Jacks appeared in that world. Jack Mystery, the mysterious specter, Judge Jack, the rakshasa of judgement, Jack Night, the steamrune engineer and treasure hunter, Racer Jack, the kamaitachi speedster vigilante, and Jack Lantern, the devil puppet who decided to be a bizarre puppeteer.

The sky changed without warning. Across Harbor City, reality fractures into lines of blue geometry—precise, silent, and absolute. When the first correction falls, it does not simply destroy. It decides. Streets vanish. Structures rewrite. People change. Kael is the only one who can see the system behind it. A black interface burns across his vision, issuing commands no one else receives: MOVE BEFORE PHASE TWO DESCENDS CLAIM THE FALLING LINE TO CREATE IS TO CHOOSE WHAT DOES NOT FALL When Kael touches one of the descending lines, something impossible happens. He does not survive it. He claims it. Now marked as an anomaly by the system governing the sky, Kael becomes its highest-priority target—hunted by execution constructs built to erase him and everything connected to him. But the deeper he pushes into the ruins, the clearer the truth becomes: The world is not ending. It is being corrected. And Kael was never meant to exist inside the final version. With a handful of survivors, a power built on impossible precision, and a cost that rises with every use, Kael must learn to create against a system designed to overwrite reality itself—choosing, one impossible decision at a time, what will remain and what must fall. Because Phase Two has already begun. And this time, the sky will not stop at the city. It will correct everything.

Since the dawn of time, there has always been the question of whether humanity is evil by nature or if it is society that corrupts it. In this story, we will meet Morgan — a kind young man with a pure heart and a deep love for animals. However, his life is suddenly cut short by an illness that leads him to death. It is then that he finds himself before a god of death, ready to devour his soul and merge it with the universe. But in that very moment, another god appears to intervene and offer him help. Both hold opposing views on human nature, so they decide to settle their disagreement through a wager: Can the boy’s soul remain pure in a world where cruelty reigns, or will it be corrupted by its surroundings? Morgan is reborn in a merciless world where humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. However, there is one detail that changes everything: the god of death reincarnates him as an axolotl, while the other god grants him a mysterious gift. Will Morgan manage to stay true to his ideals... or will he fall victim to a rotten and corrupted society?

Thousands of impossibly powerful demons exploded from the dark hole, destroying cities and taking millions of lives mercilessly. People wanted a brave knight or mythical hero to appear with powers beyond their imagination and save the world, just like in the stories they used to love. Reality was much crueler. There are no heroes, nor miracles, only despair and the cries of mankind before its destruction. Driven to a corner, leaders of the world unite, forming an alliance with the Demon King. This bargain indeed stalled the demons' attack but at a terrible price: humanity was to send "playthings"-people selected to be sacrificed-into the demon dimension to be tortured and played with or made to engage in horrific games until the last breath. His name is Elric Dawes, an ordinary boy who lived an ordinary life until that night when his best friend betrayed him. He had to witness the slaughtering of his family and was framed for the crime; he turned into a murderer of his own blood. Thus, he was dragged into a grim fate: to be a "plaything" in the realm of demons. It was a dark, twisted world.
