Black Veiled Hat

Upon waking up in an unknown place, Jacob Lavua soon realizes that he has been kidnapped by Count Valerius, a noble vampire administrating an academy full of mythological creatures: Umbra—most commonly called Umbra Academy.

Evelyne Everhart was destined to inherit a legacy—but instead, she was left with ashes. After her parents’ untimely deaths and the fiery destruction of her estate, Evelyne flees to the cold north under her sister’s enigmatic instructions. What begins as a series of tragedies soon unravels into a sinister web of deception and buried truths. In a world where alliances are fragile, every step Evelyne takes unfolds another layer of sins, will she survive long enough to unveil what's veiled, or will she fall victim to darkness? "Some mysteries are born in darkness, while certain truths hide in plain sight. Mortals need no tragedy to turn to evil, just as gods might never be revered if demons didn't exist."

“I’m already engaged to him,” she blurted, her voice trembling but resolute. Her eyes shot toward the silver-haired man, the figure who had been watching her all along. Her heart pounded in her ears as she raised her hand, pointing directly across the room. The gesture felt foreign, like it wasn’t even her own body making the movement. But there he was, sitting quietly in the VVIP section, and she had to do something. Anything. All eyes turned toward her, and the room fell into stunned silence. The weight of a thousand gazes bore down on her, and the only sound was the frantic beat of her own heart as she waited for his response. *************** Lilia’s life is turned upside down at a lavish masquerade party when an unexpected announcement claims she is engaged to Lowell, a man she has never agreed to marry. Caught between the overwhelming pressure of her parents’ expectations and the confusion surrounding her emotions, Lilia finds herself trapped in a web of deception. But when a silver-haired stranger named Zethan steals the spotlight, Lilia’s impulsive declaration sends shockwaves through the room.

Eunice, a wealthy and powerful widow, was the epitome of success. To the world, she was an ambitious woman, admired and revered for her achievements. But beneath her façade of power and grace lay a dark truth. Behind the scenes, Eunice was far from virtuous—her empire was built on foundations most would not dare to explore. Her carefully constructed life began to crumble when she encountered Mammon, the self-proclaimed First Son of Satan. A seemingly ordinary vase became the catalyst for a life-altering confrontation. Mammon, angered by her audacity to tamper with his artifact, presented Eunice with a sinister punishment: three wishes she must make. But Eunice, ever strong-willed and defiant, refused to bow to the whims of a creature she called a "witch." Their encounters became a battle of wills, her unyielding nature clashing against his overwhelming power. Yet, even the strongest resolve can falter. As Mammon revealed unsettling truths about her past and the people closest to her, Eunice’s world grew increasingly unstable. The most shocking revelation? Her late husband Gabriel—a man she loved deeply—may not have been who she thought. The power she held, her wealth, and her influence, were all pieces of a darker puzzle. Aurora, her seemingly innocent daughter, was not just hers but the child of something far more sinister. When Eunice finally uttered her first wish—"I want my dead lover to return to me"—she unknowingly set events in motion that could tear apart everything she had ever built. “Dead husband?” Mammon sneered, his crimson eyes glinting with dark amusement. “Are you sure that’s what you want, Madam? Do you even know who he truly was?”
