Gloomy Neneko

The Subconscious of The Damn Mountain

An international high school teenager named Shouichi Desterling often idled away his time, letting his thoughts run rampant with a wild imagination. However, those intrusive thoughts were well-contained within his mind. Following the recent passing of his father, Shouichi was transferred back to his hometown, Kurohashi, to live with his long-separated mother — the only family he had left. Kurohashi is a secluded small town, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance and a minuscule population of just 5,000, the village harbours an oddity: the only way in or out is via a gloomy steel bridge. Not long after his arrival, Shouichi quickly bonded with his classmates, experiencing the semblance of a normal high school life and even finding love. Yet, amid this ordinary existence, he began seeing and feeling inexplicable “things.” Were these strange occurrences mere tricks of his mind, or was there something truly sinister lurking in the shadows? As events unfolded, Shouichi found himself increasingly unable to suppress his mounting insanity and the dark urges creeping into his thoughts. Each day, the air around him grew denser and heavier, as though the very atmosphere bore the weight of an unseen menace. ***[Content Warning: Later on in the story, tragedy will intensify, not suitable for the faint of heart. i.e. NTR, psychological manipulation, trauma, etc.] Current Volume 3 [On-going], Volume 1-2 [Completed] ------------------------------------------------------- Visit the Link below for the Cast Card with a short description/ the Character Drawings/ Chapter Complimentary Images: patreon.com/Joeing_25 Currently contained: Shouichi, Ayane, Shinji, Emi, Momo, Misaki ------------------------------------------------------- ~ Thank you for reading! ~

Will she succeed in eliminating the people behind all this? Or... Will it trigger her memories from the past and bring them all back? —— Xu Yuan, frightened every student he met. Despite being a troublemaker and having terrible behaviour, Xiu Yan was still able to convince and be loved foolishly by many students on campus. An unfazed and gloomy girl named Wu Xiuxin walked across the hallway without noticing the people gathering around. Her natural eyes were sharp as if it had an intent of causing harm to people that made Xu Yuan feel uncomfortable. Xu Yuan didn’t hesitate to use his foot to block her way, which caused her to fall and made an entire student in the hallway burst in laughter. Wu Xiuxin couldn’t fathom why he did humiliate her. One person lent his hand towards her but she didn’t take it. Instead, she stood with no expression at all and with full strength she raised her clenched fist and directly threw a huge blow on Xiu Yuan’s face. The students who gathered clearly saw the ridiculous scene unfold before their eyes. “Miss Wu, you will be sent to Class 12!” said the principal, after the trouble she did. Xiu Yuan and Wu Xiuxin have finally crossed paths once again. But why does she suspiciously want to be part of his group of friends after what she did? Miss Wu, aren't you straight? ‘Cause you look cool, and the way you move and dress isn’t like what a typical girl would," one of Xiu Yuan’s friends remarked. “Is that so? Thank you but I’m straight.” Wu Xiuxin replied. “Miss Wu, do you uhm…” “What?” “D—Do you like girls?” “It’s up to you to think.” "Miss Wu, you can have friends from the other class, but why do you want to be part of a group of boys?" “Because it’s more fun together with boys.” "Miss Wu, I don't think we need to include you in the boys' group. Before you can be part of us, you still have to pass our initiation." “Really, what is it and when?” "We torture people, and only those who survive our bloody initiation will pass." "Sounds great," she replied, her face showing no expression at all. They all looked at each other, dumbfounded by her response. Wu Xiuxin had simply agreed, knowing it was all part of her plan.

This Story might cause a lot of heartache, but the ending will be Happy! 3. Yes, this is mature and smutish story which contains sexual abuse or such so extreme caution is needed!

INTERCEPT

One day, Lee Taeyang, a young and handsome detective in the Seoul Police Department, has just been given a tough new assignment. Despite his young age, he is already known as a talented detective with exceptional martial arts skills. He was appointed to handle a very difficult case that no one has ever managed to solve. The case involves a series of mysterious murders that have terrified the citizens of Seoul. Despite numerous reports and investigations, the culprit always manages to disappear without a trace. The killer is very cunning, always tricking investigators and leaving little evidence. On a cold night, Taeyang received a report that there was another murder in an apartment located in a fairly crowded area. Once on the scene, Taeyang sensed that something was different about this case. With a keen sense, he checked the surroundings and immediately knew that this wasn't just another murder. There was a very neat and mysterious pattern, as if the perpetrator was waiting to be caught. With his advanced martial arts skills, Taeyang didn't just rely on his brain to solve this case. He has to deal with challenging situations, meet secretive people, and solve puzzles that have plagued many detectives before him. However, the deeper he delves, the darker and more complicated the case becomes. In fact, he begins to feel threats from unknown parties who are trying to stop his investigation. The night was getting late, and the temperature outside was getting skin-piercing. Lee Taeyang stood in front of the apartment door, feeling the tension coursing through his body. The dim street lights gave the neighborhood a gloomy feel. He looked around, feeling that something was wrong. When the apartment door opened, a strong smell of fishy odor greeted him. After entering the neat-looking but dark apartment unit, Taeyang looked carefully at every corner of the room. The victim's body was lying on the floor, with very precise wounds. There were no screams, no signs of resistance. It was a familiar method, but still, different. He knew the culprit was highly trained. "This is no ordinary murder," Taeyang muttered, his eyes scrutinizing every detail. Soon, he noticed a message hidden behind the glass of the desk. A strange number was written in red ink, as if giving a clue, but also complicating the situation. Carefully, Taeyang grabbed his cell phone and called his colleagues in the police force to secure the place immediately. He knew this would be a very complicated case and could be dangerous for him. While waiting for the arrival of the forensics team, he thought hard. "What does this number have to do with previous cases?" A feeling of unease began to overcome him. There was something bigger than just this murder. A well-planned death, and a pattern that suggested that this might just be the beginning of something much darker. Taeyang took a deep breath. This was his biggest test as a detective. He had to tread carefully, probe deeper, and uncover who was behind all of this, before it was too late.

Three Realms; Single Handed.

*Synopsis* Shanghan is a vibrant kingdom where everyone worships their crown prince Song An. Song An was a youthful, attractive man when he was younger, but after his parents passed away unexpectedly, he had to deal with a lot of hardships and was given the task of leading the nation. Many other domains keep a watch on that country because the head of state was not a mature man. After Song An assumes the throne of Shanghan, what would have had happen that makes him despise the entire world and all those peoples? What might have occurred during those two years that turned a good soul into a devil's soul? *Two years later* "If you go now, don't come for me again. Your efforts will be in futile, so why hurt people over something trivial? " A man's voice came in a sigh. "Minor issue? It may mean nothing to you, but to me, it means everything." A laughing voice with a menacing tone and a gloomy vibe emerged. "How can you possibly believe that you can defeat the three realms by yourself, my lord? Both your life and the lives of those closest to you who genuinely support you on your path will be at stake. "After a while, Song An broke the unusual stillness with a somber and reflective tone, saying, "Uncle Su, I already told you to not call me 'my lord' anymore. Even though I am now a nobody, I still want to attempt my risky path because I can't do anything that will make me regret it. I will now make everyone who had interfered with my joyful life regret ever entering this world". Uncle Su looked out the window with a sigh on his face.
