Kimono Shinai

“A legend that refuses to die.” In a world teeming with monsters and adventurers seeking glory through blood and steel, the name Canis Majoris was once whispered with awe and fear—a shadow-born warrior who felled enemies before they knew they were hunted. But now, he is nothing more than an administrative staff member in a quiet guild, spending his days with coffee, cigarettes, and silence. Yet the fragile peace he built is beginning to crumble. The terrorist group known as the Bloodminers—ghosts from his buried past—are on the move again. And when a cold, unyielding military officer named Shina Mariposa begins to uncover secrets long thought forgotten, Canis is forced to confront the legacy he tried to abandon. Alongside Aron Telsa, a young adventurer who looks up to him, and an old comrade who still believes in his humanity, Canis must choose: remain hidden in the shadows—or become the Death the world once feared. But this is more than a tale of fighting monsters. It is a story of identity, legacy, and the true cost of peace.

A love unspoken. A tear born of darkness. A world torn open. Mazen Abdou was just an ordinary nursing student in Cairo — until the night a single, midnight-black tear slipped down his cheek and shattered the boundary between realms. In a heartbeat, the world he knew was gone, replaced by a savage land of crimson skies, howling warbands, and ancient powers that breathe through stone and mist. In the treacherous realm of Vortrex, elemental beasts rule the wilds, mercenary companies hunt for blood, and old prophecies speak of a wielder of darkness that could unmake the ten realms. Mazen never asked to be that wielder. Separated by fate and unaware of each other’s survival, Shina Hossam — the girl he never confessed his love to — races through this deadly world searching for him, while Mazen risks everything to find his way back to her. Both of them forced to hide behind masks, forging new names and dangerous alliances in a war neither understands. As ruthless kings, cults, and rebel clans close in, secrets buried in Vortrex’s blood-soaked soil begin to surface. And with every battle fought, every bond broken, and every power awakened, one truth becomes impossible to deny: The tear was no accident. And their fates were written in shadow long before they met. In a world where darkness feeds the strong and light betrays the desperate… love might be the most dangerous power of all.

In the deserts of Huaxia, within a secret underground bunker, a middle-aged man spoke gravely to a young woman. "I’ve leaked the information. The other families now know his location. Protect him at all costs—no mistakes. And give him this." He handed her a metal box. "It’s time for him to grow." "Yes, Uncle. But why not bring him back to the family directly? He could inherit his duties safely. Why take such risks?" The woman frowned. "No. A man must be tempered through trials. Only then will he earn respect. His current strength is weak, and the family’s internal strife is ruthless. With his parents absent and his position unstable, he must forge his own path. We’ll retrieve him when the time is right." The man sighed, his brow furrowed. "Should we tell him the truth? Secrets might wound him," she pressed. "My Gorgeous Tenant" "No. Hardship fuels his resolve. Without pressure, he’ll never strive." "Understood. I’ll leave now." The young woman departed swiftly. Meanwhile, in the United States: An elderly man with a white beard sat on a dragon-carved throne, eyes closed, slowly rotating two metal spheres in his hand. Before him knelt an expressionless woman clad in black. "Go. Their new heir has been located. Kill him," the old man commanded, his tone eerily calm. "Yes, Grandfather." The woman licked her crimson lips, a smirk flickering across her face before she vanished. Alone, the old man’s eyes snapped open, a cold smile twisting his lips. "Arrogant fool… Soon, everything will be mine." With a sudden crunch, he crushed the metal spheres, white smoke hissing from his grip like scorched iron doused in water. In the Nation of Nyuhong, a Shrine: A masked man glared at a kimono-clad woman kneeling before him. "Hmph! That old man’s heir has finally surfaced. Xidao He—eliminate him. Crush their family, and this world will belong to Nyuhong!

--on hiatus since 2022-- just something i wanted to write it'll be indefinite and inconsistent premise:

¿Qué pasaría si un día un hombre te apuñala y reencarnas? Todo el esfuerzo que hiciste en tu primera vida fue en vano, aquel trabajo que te fue difícil llevar a cabo en años, te es arrebatado por alguien que solo intentó dominarte. Durante la época en la que vives, las mujeres son mal vistas trabajando como geishas, muchos confunden lo tradicional con la prostitución. Al morir, los dioses te dan una segunda oportunidad; un trabajo de tiempo completo como demonio de los deseos. Tu deber es cumplir cada petición sin excusas, personas que desean una forma de liberar esas emociones que les impiden cumplir sus objetivos. ¿En qué te beneficia? Cada deseo equivale un porcentaje para recuperar eso que perdiste. Mientras ese pequeño jarro se llena de cada deseo, las probabilidades de regresar a la vida son cada vez más cercanas. Cada capítulo, una historia diferente, unos buenos otros malos. ¿Te atreves a soportarlos? ¿Qué tan bueno eres como para no odiar a tu especie?
