A brutal crime. A missing past. A person who shouldn’t exist. Detectives Emma Lane and Alex Carter thought it was just another case, until the details refused to make sense. The deeper they dig, the more they realize they aren’t uncovering a crime; they’re unraveling something far older, far darker than they ever imagined. The symbol keeps appearing. The missing records don’t add up. And the more they search for the truth, the more the truth seems to be waiting for them. Some mysteries are meant to be solved. This one was meant to consume them. "An Angelic Devil" is a psychological thriller that explores the breaking point of the human soul. Some devils don’t need horns; they wear the faces of angels. But when innocence and desperation collide, who is truly the victim… and who is playing a deadly game?

In a neon-drenched megacity where a virus is spreading, a cunning Rat Tech from the city's outskirts stumbles upon a mysterious glowing device buried in corporate scrap.

The deeper she digs, the more she realizes, this isn't just a glitch.

In a world where the unseen weaves fate and power is both a blessing and a curse, the awakened are called Phantoms—warriors bound to the spirits, their strength the only shield between humanity and annihilation. Long ago, when the Wraithborn first descended—eldritch horrors that slithered from the void beyond existence—humanity stood at the edge of ruin. The skies darkened, cities crumbled, and no blade nor bullet could harm these spectral abominations. Then came the First Call—whispers from the Spiritscape, a realm beyond mortal comprehension. Those who heard it awakened as phantoms, wielding power borrowed from spirits unseen, pushing back the darkness and carving the first fragile dawn of survival. But survival had a price. Phantoms became the weapons of the world. The Regency regulated the phantoms, dictating their purpose: to fight or be discarded. Yet among them stood the Crowned Phantoms, legends of their kind, those who had ascended beyond the ordinary, commanding the Spiritscape with unrivaled mastery. They were kings among warriors, epitomes of power, the history of the ones revered. Countless yearned to be crowned, to stand above all, to forge their names in eternity. Kael Veyne wanted none of it. Awakened at the age of three—far too young, far too dangerous—Kael understood what others refused to see. Power was not glory. Power was chained. The world loved its heroes when they won but discarded them the moment they failed. He watched as Phantoms bled, as the Regency dictated their lives, as those who sought greatness were crushed under the weight of expectation. So he made a choice. He hid. For years, he lived in the shadows, using his power only to protect himself, refusing to be another cog in the machine. He wanted a quiet life, a life that was his. But fate is never kind to those who defy it. A single moment—an unseen ripple in the fabric of destiny—threatens to unravel everything. The Wraithborn are changing stronger, and no longer bound by the laws that once held them back. The Spiritscape stirs, its whispers louder than ever. The Regency is watching. And in the depths of the unseen world, an ancient prophecy murmurs of an emperor who walks between realms, commanding the spirits themselves. Kael has spent his life running from the inevitable. But when the tide rises and the world begins to shift, when all eyes turn toward him—will he remain a ghost in the crowd… or will the Spirit Emperor rise?

Kaito Raizen was just an ordinary high school boy who dreamed of being the mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes. Ever since childhood, he admired both heroes and villains, but he never wanted to be either. Instead, he envisioned himself as the unseen hand that pushes both sides to their limits, making their struggles more entertaining for him. In the world he lives in, however, that dream seems impossible. Despite years of hard training and studying, Kaito has only managed to become average, able to score decently on his tests and beat up a mafia boss on his own. But controlling the world? He hasn’t even come close. What if an entire battalion shows up? He’d be dead in seconds. But just as it seemed like his ambitions would never be realized, fate—or rather, the heavens—answered his prayers. Kaito is reincarnated into a new world, with all his memories intact. Now, armed with a new chance and magic, he’ll bend this world to his will.

Determined to keep a low profile, he hones his strange ability to exorcise spirits, quietly making a living as an underground ghost hunter. But fate has other plans.

Just as things couldn’t get worse, Lionel receives a mysterious letter, inviting him to the Etiril Academy, a hidden institution for those who wield power beyond the mortal plane. Here, everyone is a ‘normal’ cultivator, except Lionel. Worse, the spirits he exorcises don’t simply vanish; they whisper to him, leave traces behind, and change him in ways even he doesn’t understand. Now, hunted by cultists, distrusted by his peers, and drawn into a centuries-old conspiracy, Lionel must uncover the truth behind his power before it consumes him. Because the ghosts aren’t just haunting him anymore. They’re waiting for him.

[not a LitRPG / isekai / cultivation.] [Espionage / Slowburn / A very human story] SYNOPSIS: A child rotting on the streets was suddenly dragged into the black car of one of the many conglomerates that rule the world from the shadows. Through golden flames and swathes of blood, he was trained and experimented on to become the perfect weapon. In this ever-changing world of conspiracy and technological marvels, Test Subject 201, now called Felix, navigates the world as the experiment's sole survivor, standing as the foundation for humanity's next step in evolution.  Armed with his gun, newfound abilities, and a memento he holds dearly, he marches through the steep path of darkness and deceit, and faces off against mafia, mercenaries, and countless criminals and corporations, to enact the organization's mantra to "protect the peace.".

"Compassion. Tell me, what is compassion? Is it a virtue? Or a weakness? A sign of naivety, or wisdom? Or is it one of those ideals that treads the line of ruin and preservation, an unfathomable ideal who's understanding surpasses the mortal mind; only being truly understood by the gods. Mortals struggle with it, wielding compassion like a sword from which they use by holding its blade not handle..." Growing up Reshi never lived a good life. His life had either been bad or worse, or sometimes just bad waiting to happen. Then it ended. First his family died, then he was killed. Then he got slapped by a deity, and wacked into the world of his new favourite novel. Here perhaps you maybe thinking he was living a life of riches. Was he the main character? Was he living a life of riches and joy? Was he gifted cheats and powers beyond belief? Was he a cool extra, loved by others and leading a simple life, only being unfortunately dragged into the plotline due to his outstanding morality, which he constantly denied having. Well, partially. He definitely wasn't loved. Not when he transmigrated into the body of Arthur Gravewalker. The Son of the Duke on the modern world of Pandora where humans settled after leaving Earth hundreds of years ago. He was a minor antagonist, not even one that appeared in the main story, with at least a couple of chapters outlining his villainous ways! Or even a small montage of the protagonist struggling against him before something like the power of friendship defeated him. No, he was some antagonist used to spice up the past of one of the main cast during a flashback scene in the book. Did he have time to change what the old Arthur had done, saving himself and the main cast some serious trauma? No. He was transmigrated right in the middle of being punished for his crime. Where, he’d exit the book, to live a life of eternal misery in repentance and give the readers some definite satisfaction. So peace was a thing Reshi wouldn't find even in this life. No, he'd have to work for it. Fight for it, give everything he had to suffer and claw to strength. He’d have to kill for it, so that one day. Far, far away. For the first time in both lives, he might actually get to live in peace.

[WSA 2025 Entry] 'Cold... blood and pain, cold... blood and pain... COLD, BLOOD AND PAIN.' That’s what I was feeling at that very moment, sitting on a frozen, snow-covered ground. My breathing was slowing down more and more, and I felt like my body was warming up... Was it a fire spell? No, I was just dying... My body was merely trying to find a source of heat in this relentless cold. 'So, this is the second time I'm going to die?' I thought as my abdomen was pierced through, with only the ice magic I was using keeping me alive and conscious—but for how much longer? [Warning: Player Julius VanDelmor is in critical condition.] "Heh, as if I wasn’t aware..." This system had been with me since I fell into this video game, but now it was over. "I'm just an idiot..." Yes, I was. If only I had made the right choices and followed the storyline as I should have... I wouldn’t be here. I then glanced at a white dragon, its scales resembling crystals, lying on the ground without any sign of life. A satisfied smile appeared on my face. "It was worth it after all... because I finally killed you, you bastard." ---- ---- New work from the Mandalorian! I hope you like it and give me as much feedback as possible! ----- -----
