[ Important Notice ] ---- If you are looking for a story with interesting lore and world building exploration along with deep written characters. This will be enough to catch your gaze. But this is my first time writing a story. I don't have any experience in any of these fields so my condolences for everything.. I'm continuously trying to improve and working diligently with my execution and prose. ---- Ender Levin ( the protagonist ) is a young man who was continuously having dreams and nightmares of the unknown. Dead cities with lifeless bodies everywhere like ants and blood and zon were scattered over them. But what is this zon? Who knows?... He and his cousin; best friend Zack. D. Roy ( the deuteragonist ) were running from a group of anonymous people but in the end they were getting killed by them. In the end before dying he saw his own sister stabbing him. It wasn't the first time he had these dreams, it has been a while since he started getting these and now they're getting intense. These dreams quite seems to have some connection with his deceased younger sister, Marine Levin.. Frustrated, Ender wanted to find the meaning of these dreams as one night he goes on a vacation with his best friend Zack and others, there he met a strange man who was glaring at him, then that man takes him to a werid place, there he performs some chants as a werid red-black energy splited from Ender's mouth, which was contained by the man in the small bottle. Then as the man about to leave as he had done his work, as Ender shouted at him and asked him. "What is the meaning of this?" "Who are you?" So many questions were lingering on his head as the man takes to the void of space itself and started telling him the lore. Shocked to knew the mysteries of his world. Ender and his friends first became Astrans. But what is this Astran?. It was quite challenging as they all have to face their deepest guilts, regrets and convince their soul and unconscious mind, so that they can become an Astran. Then they all to a higher dimensional world. Raiheart... There they meet their cult, and their agency Peace Order. Then from now there journey starts, now they have to face constant threats and challenges, at the same time, uncovering the mysteries of this world, at the same time.. Themselves. But mysteries always come with madness. It's a choice in the end... ---- [ Ruis Forst: the tritagonist. ]

It wasn’t a beautiful day at Ackashic Senior High, ASH for short, yet a warm sense of happiness lingered in the air. It was graduation day. And yet… Saitou felt tired. Tired of routine. Tired of a life that moved in circles. He wanted something different, something that would tear him away from this monotonous life. That wish was granted one quiet afternoon, while he was casually talking with his best friend. “When is he going to depart?” “Tomorrow.” A cold voice answered from the other side. Saitou wasn’t your typical teenager. He was a young, cold-hearted, egoistic, gun for hire. The next day, he departed for Great Britain, entrusted with a mission: to protect it. But as time passed, doubt crept in. Was that truly his mission? Or merely a mask, concealing something far "greater"?

It was never supposed to happen. On a cold night just after New Year’s, a group of friends killing time at a Nashville mall makes a stupid decision, one that feels harmless in the moment. A trail in the woods. Five minutes. Nothing more. Then they hear a scream. What they find beneath the cliff isn’t a person, and it isn’t an accident. It’s a cave that shouldn’t exist, glowing with a pale, unnatural light.. and something inside that is listening. After that night, nothing is the same. The voice follows them. Not always loud. Not always clear. Sometimes it sounds like someone they love. Sometimes it sounds like themselves. And when they listen for too long, something else comes with it—something that walks the woods after dark, unfinished and patient, never rushing, never seen by the wrong people. The Gang of friends weren’t chosen. They weren’t special. They didn’t unlock a prophecy or inherit a curse. They made a mistake. As fear fractures their friendships and silence becomes unbearable, the group is forced to confront an impossible truth: the thing beneath the trail is older than the city above it, and it doesn’t need to chase them to ruin their lives. It only needs to be heard. Set in modern-day Nashville, What Listens Beneath is a slow-burn supernatural horror about ordinary teenagers thrown into something ancient and unforgiving—where survival isn’t about strength or courage, but about knowing when not to listen. Because once something hears you… it never forgets.

Leo wakes up in a foreign world with no memory of his name, past, or purpose. The only thing he’s certain of is this: if he wants answers, he’ll have to survive. Forced into a lethal trial designed to forge assassins, Leo navigates a brutal alien landscape filled with rival killers, hidden agendas, and treacherous power plays. His instincts are flawless, his reactions precise. It’s as if he was born for this, though he has no idea why. As the tests grow bloodier and secrets begin to unravel, Leo learns he may not be just another participant, for whispers of a legendary figure begin to follow him, a being long believed to be dead, a God-Killer with no equal. Now a target of both fear and worship, Leo must master his skills, uncover the truth behind his identity, and outwit enemies who’d rather see him buried than reborn. Because behind the silence of his forgotten past lies a legacy too powerful to ignore, and a destiny that refuses to be denied. -------- NOTE - The MC in this story is a cunning vigilante type character who is morally gray and will often make questionable choices not befitting a traditional 'Hero' type character.

The 18-year-old Yamato suddenly found himself in the after life, but is unsure on how exactly he ended up there. However his reaction lacked the surprise or confusion one would usually expect form someone in his situation, as he would soon prove to be anything but ordinary. Having always failed finding meaning in his life and those of others, his emotional numbness and tendency to view most people and activities as beneath him becomes apparent when he meets the angel Yuki. Meant to judge his life and actions, things take a turn when he tricks her into agreeing to a wager that would change his and her fate. Achieving victory over the angel, he acquires her devotion and servitude, though he soon discovers the true face her devotion to be pure obsession instead of the benevolence she showed him at first. After a confrontation with God himself about his changed fate, he and Yuki are sent to a new world in hopes of finding what his previous world lacked: meaning. Yuki however has made it her sole purpose to win him over, baiting the slightest bit of affection out of him, genuine or not. Even just experiencing theatrical romance scenarios, which she artificially creates at the cost of others, becomes a normal occurrence. Though not reciprocating her feelings just yet, Yamato cannot stop himself from being captivated by both her beauty and emotional intensity, seeing her as someone who might finally give him the emotional experience he seeks.

But he’s not the only one watching . . .

A simple day turned into a misunderstanding that changed James Bellini’s life forever and sent him down a path walked only by those who define the era of the mafia. A path filled with bodies, with blood painting the roads where he stepped… with a twist… he is just pretending. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and out of nowhere, he became the Don of the Bellini family, the feared underworld figure who rules over everybody. A position that tests his sanity, his morality, and the last shred of humanity left in him… and maybe, just maybe, the road ahead will turn the acting, the pretending, into something dark… something that will push him to the abyss, where all he finds is death.

In the ever-unfolding tapestry of life, circumstances occasionally dictate that conflicts arise, even among those bound by the bonds of kinship.

For some, the impetus lies in their eternal quest for change, an undying ambition that propels them forward. Others are driven by an insatiable hunger for power, seeking dominance over their chosen realm. And yet, there are those whose battles are fought for the sake of love; their motivations rooted in the profound connections that define our human existence. As these siblings navigate their respective journeys, their paths intertwine and diverge in equal measure. Some seek to discover their true nature, to uncover the depths of their being. Others strive to prove their mettle, to demonstrate their worthiness in the face of adversity. From these differing perspectives, the potential for unity or division emerges; a choice that can bind them closer than ever or sow the seeds of animosity. Will their battles drive them to turn completely against one another? Time alone will reveal the path they choose on this journey of self-discovery and affirmation.

In a world where a single year lasts a thousand days—and each day stretches across thirty-eight hours—something about reality has always been… wrong. Dark never questioned it. An orphan with a quiet love for books, he expects nothing more than a normal life as he begins high school. Until the day reality cracks. Beneath a solitary tree, he meets a woman who should not know him—yet does. She claims to be his new literature teacher. From that moment on, the world begins to unravel. Whispers appear where silence should exist. People move like they’re being guided. And something unseen begins pulling the strings. What starts as curiosity turns into a descent. Together with his friends, Dark steps into a hidden conflict shaped by control, manipulation… and forces that do not belong to this world. But the deeper he looks, the clearer one thing becomes: This isn’t happening around him. It’s happening because of him. As fragments of the past resurface, Dark is dragged toward a truth that was never meant to be uncovered—one that speaks not of heroes… …but of something that should have never existed. Because in a world controlled by unseen hands, Dark is not the one searching for answers. He is the fracture in reality itself.
