Genres: Supernatural, Slice of Life, Action, Romance, Comedy. Sawyer West Reid, an aspiring doctor, was just trying to survive his night shift when an A-class witch attacked him. Instead of meeting his end, he was rescued by a mysterious Hunter—and thrust into a hidden world where magic, monsters, and cosmic forces collide. Now, Sawyer is forced into an entirely new role: Enforcer, a mediator between humans, supernaturals, and alien races from beyond. Haunted by echoes of countless past lives and caught in the delicate balance between realms, Sawyer’s journey is anything but ordinary. Pursued by a murderous eight-foot-tall pale creature with crimson eyes and tasked with closing a mysterious gate torn open by an unknown force, saving the universe was never in his five-year plan. In a universe governed by ancient laws, hidden dimensions, and cosmic threats (not to mention some truly baffling alien beverage etiquette), Sawyer quickly learns that survival will require more than medical skills and a lot of coffee. I began writing this story to craft a supernatural world filled with witches, werewolves, gods, monsters, and everything in between—told from the very beginning with an eye for the intricate universal laws that bind it all. What started as a spark of inspiration has grown into an ever-expanding adventure that I hope will captivate you as much as it does me. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride. I’m having a lot of fun, and I hope you will too! Note: This story contains violence and dark themes and is intended for an adult audience. Updates: Tuesdays and Sundays (West Africa Time). Occasional breaks may occur to catch up with the storyline and refine chapters.

At 18 years old, Hikaru Sano is a published novelist on the brink of a breakdown. Struggling with deadlines, a writer’s block that feels more like a writer’s mountain, and a growing pile of unpaid bills, Hikaru’s life is spiraling out of control. That is, until he’s forced to hire an assistant—Miyuki Hoshino, a no-nonsense college freshman who dreams of something more than just being another cog in the system. Miyuki is organized, sarcastic, and the complete opposite of Hikaru. She walks in ready to help him get his life together—if only he’d get his act together long enough for that to happen. Between surviving last-minute rewrites, chaotic deadlines, and an editor who could break a man just by typing in all caps, they find themselves stuck in an unlikely partnership. As the two spend late nights working together, an undeniable connection begins to form. But there’s a problem: both Hikaru and Miyuki are too shy, too awkward, and way too stubborn to admit their growing feelings. Add in some dark humor, a touch of romance, and a lot of writer’s angst, and you get a comedic ride through the unpredictable world of book deadlines, creativity, and finding love where you least expect it—between the lines.

The inhabitants of this world became lost in war, greed, and the lust for power. Though humanity gained control over the land, they were cursed by the gods with monstrous beings, creatures from beyond the veil of reality. This place was called the Darkness.

The Darkness Island Prolog: "Cepat katakan! Dimana para bawahanmu dan alasan kenapa kau menghancurkan terowongan itu!" sorak seorang polisi dengan sangat kuat sambil mencambuk seseorang yang kedua tangannya di ikat dengan rantai. "Su-sudah kubilang, aku sama sekali tidak tau apa yang kau bicarakan," jawab orang itu dengan nada lelah dan suara yang pelan. "Kau masih saja mengelak sialan!" Polisi tadi langsung mengambil pistol di pinggangnya. Dorr!! Ia tanpa ragu menembak paha kiri laki-laki itu. "Aaahh!!!" pekiknya dengan sangat kesakitan. "Cepat katakan!!" Laki-laki itu tidak merespon dan hanya menunduk kebawah dengan putus asa. Tubuhnya tampak seperti sudah tidak sanggup menerima rasa sakit lagi. "Bukankah sudah kubilang dari beberapa hari sebelumnya, saat proses interogasi dan kau berani tidur, maka kau akan merasakan ini!" teriak polisi itu masih dengan nada kuat dan sangat kesal. Ia kemudian mengambil cambuknya tadi. Lalu membakar cambuk tersebut dengan sebuah korek api. Rupanya cambuk itu dari tadi sudah terlumuri dengan minyak tanah. Begitu pula dengan seluruh bagian dada laki-laki itu yang hari ini sudah tercambuk puluhan kali. Hanya dengan sekali pukulan. Dan wuzzz!! Seluruh bagian dada laki-laki yang diikat di rantai itu langsung terbakar. "Aaackkk!!!" teriaknya dengan kesakitan dan langsung mendapatkan kembali kesadarannya. Sebelum api itu merambat sampai ke kepalanya. Ia langsung di guyur air yang berasal dari atas. Laki-laki itu menatap polisi tersebut dengan mata penuh dendam. "Bukankah aku sudah bilang! Aku tidak tau apa-apa kau Bangs*t!" ucapnya dengan sangat kesal. "Sialan! Bagaimana ini terjadi, aku hanya ingin liburan dengan keluargaku, namun semuanya hancur saat kami memasuki sebuah terowongan yang tiba-tiba saja meledak. Gara-gara kalian! Gara-gara kalian adikku dan ayahku mati di dalam terowongan itu! Aku dengan ini bersumpah. Bahwa aku akan menemukan dalang atas semua ini! Dan membalas dendam akan keluargaku!!" teriaknya di dalam hati yang langsung meronta dengan sangat kuat. Dari arah dinding sebelah kiri, tiba-tiba saja sebuah peluru bius di tembakan. Peluru itu langsung mengenai tangan kanan laki-laki itu. Yang secara perlahan membuatnya pingsan. Coming soon~ ~Higashi.

In a city veiled in oil-stained mist and the dim glow of gaslight, where the grind of steel and the hiss of steam never cease, a man awakens in a body that is not his own. Victor Holloway, an ordinary man from Earth, now walks in the skin of Elias Vayne—a detective whose reputation is built more on deception than achievements, a man who was just murdered for reasons unknown. With fractured memories and an identity that doesn’t quite fit, Victor is drawn into a case stranger than anything he has ever encountered. A murder wiped from existence, with witnesses who speak only in riddles. Yet in this world of secrets and shifting allegiances, greater powers loom beyond mortal schemes. The Churches of the Four Original Gods—ancient institutions of faith, influence, and hidden agendas—watch the game unfold, sometimes as allies, sometimes as immovable obstacles. The deeper he delves, the more he realizes—this world is nothing but a stage, where truth is fluid, and masks are worn by all. There are no certainties, no absolutes, only the game he must now play. Beneath the blackened rain, the whisper of turning gears, and the ever-present haze of smoke, Victor Holloway must embrace the role thrust upon him. A Detective. A Victim. A Liar. A Saviour. A Pactmaker. This is a tale woven from lies and deception. The tale of a Trickster.

“In a house divided by status, secrets, and the whisper of wings, freedom feels as distant as the stars.” When Laura Charles takes a position at the prestigious Wyndham Estate, she plans to keep her head down, her past hidden, and her heart untangled. Among the polished silver and immaculate halls, she’s determined to play her part as the perfect lady's maid: quiet, diligent, and invisible. But nothing at Wyndham is as simple as it seems. From Amber, the exuberant housemaid, to Mrs. Hobbs, the sharp and rigid housekeeper, the servants' hall brims with personalities as complex as the estate itself. Among them is Aleksi, a towering, sharp-tongued footman whose presence stirs something Laura can't quite define. As their paths cross in unexpected ways, sparks fly—not of romance but of class tension and sharp disdain. Yet beneath the barbs and silences lies an unsettling intensity that neither can fully ignore. Meanwhile, the estate hides more than just its opulent splendor. Foreign servants whisper in a language Laura doesn’t understand, and the weight of expectations crushes everyone under the roof, noble or not. In a world where every glance and gesture is a battle for survival, trust becomes a dangerous luxury, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. As the seasons shift and the stakes rise, Laura finds herself trapped between two wings: the strict confines of duty and the yearning for something more—freedom, perhaps, or even love. But how far will she go to protect herself when her heart and her carefully constructed walls are both at risk of crumbling? Between Wings is a tale of class, romance, and survival, where every choice is fraught with danger and even the smallest kindness can have far-reaching consequences. For fans of slow-burn romance, rich historical drama, and characters navigating a world determined to define them, this is a story of transformation and defiance against all odds.
