Fading Stardust

The Horizon—the bridge between realms, the foundation of all existence—has shattered. The gods, once eternal, feel their power fading as the faith of mortals crumbles. The Devil, long imprisoned, stirs in the depths of Purgatory, eager to seize what remains. And as the void devours entire worlds, an unseen force begins to move—one even the divine cannot comprehend. The heavens fracture. The realms fall into chaos. And when the last light fades, what will remain—eternal ruin, or something far more terrifying?

I was nothing but a mindless, rotting corpse, shuffling through the darkness—until a party of adventurers cut me down. That should have been the end. But instead of eternal rest, I woke up in the body of a noble. Fancy clothes, a sprawling estate, and servants calling me "Young Master." Sounds like a dream, right? There’s just one problem… I still have zombie instincts. Table manners? A nightmare. Holding a conversation? Harder than dodging a fireball. And apparently, calling the meat "too fresh" makes people really uncomfortable. Just as I start adjusting to this bizarre second life, my battle-hardened siblings return with unsettling news—monsters acting strangely, whispers of an ancient hunger awakening. And when I take my first bite of monster meat, I realize something terrifying: My hunger isn’t fading. It’s only growing. But the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes—this hunger isn’t just mine. The Tower is waiting. The heavens are watching. And something in Hell… is calling me back.

Though it may be a dream weathered, crumpled, fading, I held on without surrender. Through each repeated day, running toward tomorrow’s light, I became a knight, resolute and bright.

Ein was a hitman on hire. A killer, a shadow, a death with insomnia, if you may. He had witnessed countless pairs of eyes dim as the light of life faded, leaving nothing but vile hollowness. Needless to say, the sight of a soul popping out of the dead body was a first. And it wasn't just any soul. It was the dead heir of Byers Holdings, the same guy he killed with his own hands. Turns out the rich boy Adriel had a horribly irritating and loud soul, but worst of it all - impossible to get rid of. Who would have thought that killing on a blue moon night could lead to being haunted?

[Synopsis] In a dark, underground basement, a spooky old man's voice sent shivers down my spine. "You're gonna meet your end, hahaha," he taunted, before lunging at me with a sword, slashing the air, and spattering my throat with red drops. "We'll see," I defiantly whispered, my last words fading as I drifted into darkness. Suddenly, I woke up in a bustling tavern filled with laughter and clinking glasses. A captivating lady stood before me, her beauty clashing with her angry expression, ready to disrupt the cheerful mood. "Don't stalk me," she snapped, giving me a harsh look before storming out of the tavern. Am I stuck in some kind of game? My common sense shattered, leaving me questioning my reality. ------------------------------------------- [A/N: Give it a read, buddy; you won't regret it.] [Discord Server Link: https://discord.com/invite/4gVfcaePJS]

Long ago in the high mountains of a secret empire, there were two powerful kingdoms split by the vast sea. One, a kingdom of fierce fire and power, full of mighty warriors and valiant royals. Their weapons ignited with flames of passion, and their skills were unmatched due to their discipline. A castle made of embers deemed it's walls untouchable to any foe. This kingdom was called the Crimson Demesne. Across the coastline, on the opposite cliff's peak, stood a vigorous, yet elegant castle, made by the grace of the stars. It is called the Steller Estate. Where hallways are finely plated with constellations of each record of the night sky. The shining silver and sapphire blades held by the royals were enlightened by stardust, reaching power beyond any imagination. These two kingdoms remained isolated from each other, for the two had long history of conflicts for power and rule over The Empire of Deargach Réaltaí. Countless bloody battles over crowns and thrones lead to the empire losing many adorn leaders. … Decades later, when the new kings and queens of both kingdoms were crowned, the Crimsons vowed to make amends with the Stellars and end the times of reckless exchange.
