Kin No Tamamushi Giyuu Punishment

Under the blood-red moon, ancient pacts fracture and long-buried secrets awaken. For centuries, vampires and werewolves—the Nightkins—have maintained a fragile truce, bound by a single, terrible promise: to keep the ancient Vault sealed at any cost. But that promise is broken when David Ramirez, a haunted hunter marked by a family curse, stumbles upon the Vault’s location. Driven by vengeance for his sister’s murder at the claws of a rogue Nightkin, David is determined to uncover the truth behind the supernatural war that has raged in the shadows for generations. Alongside Priya Shah, a scholar of forbidden runes whose family has guarded the Vault for centuries, David is pulled into a deadly game between monsters older than empires. Vampires seek to harness the Vault’s secrets to break their own ancient limitations. Werewolves fight to destroy it before it can unearth a power that could enslave them all. As alliances shatter and old rivalries reignite, something stirs beneath the earth—something hungry, cunning, and older than both vampire and werewolf kind. The Vault was not merely a prison, but a door. And now it has begun to open. Hunted by both factions, David and Priya must navigate a world of blood oaths, ancient magic, and predatory politics. Betrayal lurks in every shadow, and the difference between friend and foe is written in blood. But there is one truth neither side will admit: *the Nightkins were not the first monsters, only the next.* And the true legacy waiting to be claimed may doom them all. ---

She doesn’t remember who she is. He doesn’t know where he belongs. And the Perennial Forest is done waiting. Pecola is blind. But her world is far from dark. Haunted by glowing spirits called Breaths and chased by flickers of forgotten memories, she enters a forest no one returns from—except her. And she has no idea why. Antic is trouble with a smirk. He’s not cursed—just clumsy, chaotic, and not nearly as powerful as the warriors in his realm want him to be. When his family is destroyed by a rival clan, all he wants is revenge... until he meets her. Together, they stumble into a journey neither of them asked for—guided by a porcelain doll with abandonment issues (Dolly), a grim-faced swordsman with secrets (Grin), and the dangerous, sensual magic of a world built on memory, grief, and desire. QUICK PEAK: "Don't move," Antic said, voice low. Pecola froze mid-step. "Why?" "Because," he whispered, eyes locked on her, "if you take one more step in that dress, I might combust." She tilted her head, blank as always. "Combust?" He nodded, nose already bleeding. "Tragically. Violently. With a little sparkle." A beat. Her lip twitched. "You're disgusting." "I'm aware," he said, wiping his face with the back of his hand, "but I'm also charming. And very, very emotionally unstable. So please, keep talking." A ghost screamed in the distance. Neither of them looked.

In a dystopian world, a thousand years from now, Earth breathes beneath a sky painted in permanent orange, metallurgical effluents make the air from centuries of technological excess.

Every day unfolds in a regulated virtual loop. But everything changes when Levita, a Cy-human, encounters a glitch. Suddenly severed from Supernova’s network, Levita begins to feel something forbidden; Emotions. Emotions long thought extinct, as obsolete as humanity itself. Confused and terrified by this strange awakening, she sets off in search of answers. And that’s when she meets him, a Human, a being believed to be extinct. Is her glitch a flaw to be repaired or a key to something greater?

Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

Sixteen years ago, the city of Jenkiora fell to a terrifying demon invasion led by the ruthless Purple Demon, a force of destruction unlike any the Land of Joy had ever seen.

As old enemies resurface and secret factions scheme in the shadows, Senko’s fight is no longer just for acceptance — it’s for the fate of the Land of Joy itself. In a world where trust is scarce and demons can wear a man’s face, can Senko rise above his curse and become the hero his people desperately need? Or will the purple flame in his eyes consume him first?

Is it Sin that makes one a sinner? Or is it Kin that makes one a sinner? Many say we are born innocent and untainted, and yet in Sin we are all related to one another. For we are one Kin, and with this Sin we share that we are born with. And even a certain doctrine holds that one's Kin, through the fact of birth, inherit a tainted nature with a proclivity to sinful conduct in need of regeneration… "I was brought forth in iniquity, and in Sin did my Mother conceive me." …or so the doctrine says, "We are all born sinners because of Kin that brings us together." …and so we think: we are born with Sin inherited from our Kin, But, should that hold us back from acting with virtue? No, we should not hold back, even when Sin entered the world through one Kin, and Death through Sin, and in this way, Death came to all beings, because all sinned, But even so, we all have freedom to be a being we want when we embrace Death, To be a fraudulent Human, To be a violent Angel, To be a benevolent Devil, And what one wants to be, neither "Sin" nor "Kin" should define what "Self" one is going to be, let "Journey" instead that defines one "Self"

Each mission etches pain into his soul, each failure brings torment. But as he carries out divine vengeance on strangers, he begins to uncover a darker truth: His betrayal was part of a far greater design — and the god who saved him may not be merciful after all. In a world where grief grants power and punishment is sacred, Ren must decide: Is he the Mourner’s chosen… or just its weapon?

In 2022, humanity developed an AI justice system to eradicate world crime. It did not fail. It adapted. Worldwide criminals were sentenced to something far worse than death: banishment to a world alien a world governed by anarchy, governed by force, and watched by something far beyond human understanding. Soren Arata, an unknown boy with no name but "Zero," opens his eyes in this brutal world with only a nickname, a strange tattoo on his palm, and the weight of a punishment he has no clue about. No memory. No friends. No choice. This is not a video game. There are no respawns. And the goal is not to escape to live is.

What would you do if you were thrown into a foreign world—alone, powerless, and with no system to guide you? No instructions. No second chances. Only the unknown stretching endlessly before you. Trapped in a place where nothing makes sense, where survival is earned through struggle, one boy is forced to push forward. Each step leads him deeper into a mystery he cannot understand, each battle taking more than it gives. Yet, even as the world tests his limits, he refuses to break. But where is he? Why is he here? And what awaits him beyond the next choice he makes? Some questions have answers. Others only lead to more questions.

No Safe Horizon First came the heat. Then the silence. Then the screams. Ron doesn’t remember the moment the world ended—only the smell of burning skin and the sound of someone he couldn't save.

Beside him walks Prya—fierce, wounded, and just as lost. Together, they move through a nightmare of bloodied streets and frozen bones, clinging to warmth where they can find it—in a shared blanket, a quiet touch, a kiss stolen between screams. But out there in the white silence, something is watching. Something colder than death. There’s nowhere safe anymore. Not even inside your own skin.

Many years ago, vampires and humans lived in fragile harmony—peace upheld by the Punishers, five legendary warriors chosen from humanity. Gifted with unmatched strength, skills, and abilities, they held both races accountable, punishing corruption wherever it spread. For generations, their power passed only to those deemed worthy. But fifteen years ago, everything changed. A new threat—the Dampia, born from darkness—manipulated the Vampire King, turning the vampires against the Punishers. Outnumbered and betrayed, the Punishers were slaughtered in a brutal war. Their fall shattered the balance. What followed was chaos. Vampires declared war on humanity, seeking domination. Earth became a battlefield soaked in blood and betrayal. Only through awakening powerful abilities and forging weapons from beast crystals were humans able to fight back. Eventually, the vampires retreated to another planet—but the scars of war remain, and the Dampia still hunt both races from the shadows. Now, the world teeters on the edge once again. Legends speak of a child—one who will inherit the power of all the Punishers. A boy who might bring peace… or total destruction.
