Blaze Of Darkness

In the shadow of ancient ruins, love becomes a curse more binding than death itself. Lucien Kael, scion of a noble house, forsakes everything for Yuva, a healer's daughter whose gentle touch promises salvation from his world of cold duty. Their forbidden love blooms in secret—beneath chapel eaves, by frost-touched fields, in stolen moments that belong to no one else. But when a merciless fever claims Yuva's life, Lucien's desperate prayers to silent gods go unanswered. In his darkest hour, something else responds. A crimson-eyed crow brings forth an ancient darkness—Valek, a shadow-wreathed entity who offers the impossible: Yuva's return from death. The price? Four unspoken conditions that will carve deeper into Lucien's soul with each passing day, binding him to a curse that transforms him from man to monster. Yuva returns, but she is not the same. Something cold and otherworldly peers from behind her familiar eyes, growing stronger with each soul Lucien is compelled to claim. As the entity wearing her face feeds on death and darkness, the real Yuva remains trapped—a fading fragment begging for release. In a cottage where frost forms at midnight and shadows move with malevolent purpose, two souls face an impossible choice. Love that conquers death may be the cruelest love of all. A haunting tale of devotion, damnation, and the price of defying fate itself.

This is a world shrouded in darkness. The spreading Black Fog corrodes every living creature. The only protection for humanity lies in fire. But as the dark Epoch approached, the fires slowly extinguished. Countless strong Kingdoms became dens for Dark Monsters, humans lost contact with each other, and survivors trembled in the faint solitary light. Until Rod came to this world. "Damn, what's this cow and horse stuff, is it edible?" "This Soul, it's delicious." "As long as the will of fire remains unextinguished, I believe, one day, humanity will once again illuminate this world and burn all spectral vermin to ashes." "Even if I'm mired in darkness, bearing the Dream Realm, I can still support this world!" "We've won!" —— The world is about to fall, the Abyss looms at our side. And I will raise this Unique flame to light up the world. Yes, I am the last King of Darkness. But... Hello? Anyone, save me.

Her wedding dress still clings to her skin when demons slaughter her husband and drag her from everything she’s ever loved. Sold at auction like cattle, her worth is measured in gold—not screams. And her buyer? He is Tenebrarum Mortifer—the demon whose name turns kings to ash. Cold. Cruel. Untouchable. He didn’t buy her for love. He bought her to break her. But Aurelia does not shatter. Her grief becomes fire. Her hatred, a blade. And the more she resists, the more the monster who owns her begins to unravel. What began as torment twists into something far more dangerous. She was meant to be his plaything. Now, she’s the one breaking him. --- In a kingdom ruled by demons, where broken girls burn brighter than magic—can a soul forged in grief ignite a love even hell can’t destroy?

Evan Smith never imagined war. As a blacksmith’s son, he was a quiet boy from a quiet village, content to live his days without venturing beyond home. But when the empire’s banners turned inward and enemy boots crossed the border, his village became nothing more than a battleground between two merciless forces. Families disappeared. Silence replaced food. Soldiers, both foreign and familiar, came not as protectors but as plunderers. There were no heroes or rebels, only commands to obey… or graves to fill. With nothing left to bury and no place left to flee, Evan embarks on a journey he never wanted — through war camps, ravaged towns, and dark forests, searching for something even he doesn’t fully understand: a reason to keep going. What he discovers is a truth no child should ever face — The world’s cruelty doesn’t come from monsters, but from men. In a land where hope is forbidden and justice forgotten, Darkness Beyond follows one overlooked life through the slow, suffocating death of peace, questioning whether an ordinary boy can still decide what kind of man he will become… when all the light has vanished.

Venice thought her mind was playing tricks on her— Until the walls of her world started whispering back. Strange things keep appearing in her room. Unspoken memories feel too sharp to be dreams. And the one person she’s not sure she should trust… might be the only one who sees her. But how do you know what’s real— When obsession disguises itself as devotion? This isn’t a love story.

He woke up from a deep slumber. He was trapped for a long time. Now that he has awaken in someone else's body, he faced a life he was never prepared for. Can he survive?

In a world where survival is dictated by The Veil, an ancient force that selects unwilling souls for its brutal trials, death is often a mercy. Those who fail are erased. Those who endure return changed—feared, hunted, and burdened with power. Hope was never meant to be among them. A scavenger scraping by in the lawless outskirts, he lived by one rule: stay unnoticed, stay alive. He had no grand ambitions, no thirst for strength—only the will to see another day. But when The Veil marks him, he is cast into The Ashlands, a realm where nightmares take form, and survival means facing horrors beyond comprehension. Armed with nothing but his cunning, Hope fights to stay alive. He has no allies, no faith in heroics—only desperation. But when he survives his first trial, he is granted something far more dangerous than mere strength—the power of the God of Darkness. A force that does not only obey him, but watches, whispers, and waits.

One rule: Survive. Everything else is optional. Reika Kagetsu doesn’t want to be a hero. She just wants to feel—pain, fear, adrenaline—anything to remind her she’s still alive. Tenshiko Academy promised her that. What she got instead? Brutal training. No rest. No second chances. And monsters—inside and out. Now she’s fighting the Shikiban: creatures born from blood, madness, and buried secrets. But the deeper she goes, the more she begins to wonder... What if she’s one of them? Power always comes with a price. And Reika is about to pay it in full.

The world of super humans. People with superpowers. There are 5 types, Power, Speed, Mind, Endurance, and Sensory. Vagrant was a type that did not fall really under any of these 5. Our MC holds the power of a Sensory Type, considered the weakest and only useful for support and scouting. A darkness erupts though, causing world-wide panic and destruction. Everyone is suddenly granted a system during the first series of dangers, what would later come to be known as 'Beast Breaks'. Authors Note: Chapter release will be very erratic. Don't expect too much either. Just a guy killing time. So keep it in your pants and don't sweat the details. It's a web novel book not the next big thing.

They warned no one should enter Graven Hollow after dark. Isla Blackthorn didn’t listen. Still mourning the sudden death of her mother, twenty-four-year-old Isla returns to the fog-covered town of Ashmill to claim the estate she never wanted—Graven Hollow, a cursed Blackthorn legacy veiled in whispers and ancient warnings. But the moment she crosses its threshold, something awakens. Haunted by dreams and stalked by shadows, Isla discovers a sealed crypt beneath the house—and breaks an ancient blood-bound sigil that was never meant to be touched. In doing so, she frees Rael, a powerful and otherworldly being once worshipped as a prince, feared as a demon, and betrayed by the very family who summoned him. Bound for centuries beneath stone and spellwork, Rael emerges... drawn irresistibly to Isla. But Rael’s freedom comes at a devastating cost. In breaking the seal, Isla also unleashes The Marrow-Born, three unholy priests cursed to hunt the soul that awakened Rael. Their eyes are fixed on Isla. Their whispers bleed through mirrors. And they know her secret. Because Isla is no ordinary woman. She is the last of the Blackthorns—a bloodline of witches cursed by their own ambition. But within Isla lies a far deeper truth: the soul of Nahara, a woman from Rael’s past who once loved him... and doomed them both. Half light, half shadow—Isla is both a white witch of healing and a vessel for devastating darkness. As her powers begin to manifest—violent and uncontrollable—Isla must navigate a terrifying inheritance, a forgotten love, and a war between realms. While enemies gather and visions from past lives unravel before her eyes, the bond between Isla and Rael grows stronger... and more dangerous. He was bound by a vow. She was born of prophecy. And now, the Hollow demands a price. Will Isla become the Bride of the Bound One to fulfill the ancient pact? Or will the darkness within her consume them all?

Realities begin to merge. In the heart of this convergence, an ordinary young man - Kassian - unexpectedly inherits the Mantle of Eternity. But Kassian is no savior. He is the living embodiment of his own aspect - the flaw in the system. And now that the darkness within him has awakened with a will of its own, the question is no longer who will win... It’s whether darkness will remain passive as it always has, or take a stand - to destroy, to restore, or to return everything back to the original state. But first, he will have to dine with elves all the while surrounded by monsters.

With few friends and many enemies, Yami must decide whether to remain the invisible shadow he has always been or to fight to emerge from the darkness and claim his place in the world.

His Mission? freedom of Earth from the rule of Varkonians. will he succeed in his Mission? Find Out.

He liked simple life but the simple life rejected him. Not every thing was simple but at least it wasn't as hard as trying to walk a newly born baby. "Why is it all so damn lovingly SCREWED?" The Raging Phoenix company is an entertainment company?!! Nah! that's the most deadly joke I have heard.
