Anime Face Markings

Am I going insane? The thought slithers into my mind the moment I wake up, cold and disoriented, in a place that feels more like a nightmare than reality. My head is empty, my memories wiped clean, leaving behind only a suffocating void where my identity should be. The walls around me are smeared with something dark—blood, maybe. Symbols, jagged and unfamiliar, carve into the surfaces as if someone tried to leave a message… or a warning. But none of it makes sense. Nothing here makes sense.  I try to grasp at something—anything—but the harder I reach, the faster it slips through my fingers, like smoke dissolving in the air. My pulse pounds as I force myself to move, each step foreign, like I’m controlling a body that doesn’t belong to me. A name. A purpose. Something to tell me who I am. But there’s nothing. Only fragments, pieces that refuse to fit together. Then the games begin. Survival. That’s all it’s supposed to be. Do what you’re told, follow the rules, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll make it out alive. But I learn quickly that this isn’t just about survival. It’s about control. It’s about twisting reality until I don’t know what’s real and what’s a lie. The other players are just as lost, just as desperate, but I can see it— But they aren’t like me. Some of them know more than they’re letting on. Some of them… aren’t afraid. The more I search for answers, the more the world unravels. Reality bends. Faces blur. Voices whisper from places they shouldn’t. Every time I think I’m close to the truth, it twists away from me, leaving me drowning in questions I can’t answer. The line between what’s real and what’s in my head has thinned to nothing, and I don’t know if I can trust my own mind anymore. Who am I? Maybe it’s better that I don’t know. Maybe knowing would break me beyond repair. Or maybe… maybe I was never meant to leave this place at all. I used to think I was just confused, just lost in the chaos. But now? I was definitely insane.

A Few Warnings for the Reader: This short novel is written for people who appreciate Japanese anime – a worldwide community numbering in the hundreds of millions. It's important to understand from the start that anime is not just "children's cartoons," as animation is often perceived in places like Europe and the USA. Anime represents a distinct form of animation and a significant cultural force, almost like "super-cinema." It can be incredibly dynamic and explore serious themes. Now, let's be honest, a large portion of anime is… not great. Maybe around 90% could be considered simply "okay" or even, let's say, "trashy." It can be blatant, silly, and not particularly engaging. Many viewers watch one of these less impressive shows and then assume all anime is similar. But that's a mistake! Understand this: by doing that, you're missing out on potentially the most captivating entertainment of your life. That's not an exaggeration – it's a genuine perspective. But the remaining 10%? That's where the true "super-cinema" lies. Good anime is unmatched in its ability to tell emotionally resonant stories and deliver dynamic action. Anime creators are free to push boundaries. Their imaginations delve into the complexities of the human heart, challenging the common "European view" that restricts animation to children. This story(it's not a Fanfiction!) is a tribute to a classic anime called "Fate." Fate is not my personal absolute favorite – there are masterpieces which incredibly hard to surpass. But still, it's a powerful example of the story started as a simple eroge and converted to a deeply emotional cult film.

NOTE: THIS IS ALL FANFIC OUT OF MY IMAGINATION. Sean Xiao (Xiao Zhan. I'll direct him as such in this novel it might be a short story or maybe longer than I expected let's hope and read together) Sean Xiao and Wang jie(Wang yibo. I'll also direct him as such in the novel). are twins born on the same day. Sean, was just few seconds older than Wang jie. But they were separated due to an unexpected event which was still strange to the Xiao family. In summary, this is a story about two un-identical twin brothers who were separated... I'm even confused with the summary. I only have the idea. I suggest you read and enjoy. Additional note: no r-rated events maybe cuss words but I'll try to be as innocent as I've claimed to be. I'm an innocent mind. just enjoy the brothers who go through ups and downs with great turn of events and later of course, a reassured fate. _____________________________________ Remember to support your lovely author.

The Demonic Realm, left in chaos after his defeat, has now fallen into the hands of a greater evil: Blood Tyrant Long Mo, the exiled elder brother of the Celestial Emperor.

Together, they unleash the ultimate technique—Heaven-Slayer Divine Annihilation—a forbidden power capable of erasing existence itself. Though Long Mo is gravely wounded, he manages to escape, vowing revenge. With the tyrant gone, Long Xie reclaims the Demonic Throne, and for the first time, his hatred toward Long Tian begins to waver. But peace never lasts forever. A far greater mystery lingers—Long Tian’s firstborn son, Tianhun, carries the Celestial Mark, but also bears the curse of the ancient Demon Lords. His very existence could either bring salvation… or the destruction of everything. Thus begins a new chapter, where the greatest battle is not fought with swords, but within the soul itself. Legacy of the Celestial Mark is an electrifying saga of gods and demons, brotherhood and betrayal, fate and defiance. In a world where light and darkness intertwine, where even the gods are bound by fate, one question remains— Can destiny truly be defied?

A stranger. Standing there, still yet tense, his head tilting slightly—watching. There was something unnatural in the way he moved, like a predator studying prey. Then, in an instant, he lunged.
