In The Moonlight Dusk

In the wake of tragedy, Jack Hayes struggles to cope with the devastating loss of his younger brother, Ethan "The Viper" Hayes, who dies in a brutal MMA fight against the reigning state champion, Rico "The Beast" Martinez. While the match is ruled an accident, Jack is haunted by the belief that foul play led to Ethan's untimely death. Consumed by grief and anger, he grapples with feelings of helplessness and guilt. In his search for closure, Jack decides to enter the world of MMA—not for revenge, but to find peace and honor Ethan's memory. Under the mentorship of Lena, a seasoned fighter with her own troubled past, Jack begins a grueling training regimen that tests his physical and mental limits. As he fights through local circuits, he discovers the camaraderie and resilience of fellow fighters, all of whom share their own struggles and stories of loss. As Jack rises through the ranks, he adopts the persona of "The Ghost," channeling his brother's spirit and seeking to transform his pain into strength. But as he gains recognition, the specter of Rico looms larger, culminating in a high-stakes tournament that could earn Jack the chance to face the man he holds responsible for Ethan’s death. In the climactic battle, Jack confronts not just Rico, but the internal demons that have plagued him since the tragedy. As he fights for redemption, he learns that true strength lies in embracing the past and that finding peace is a journey, not a destination. "The Ghost of the Ring" is a powerful tale of grief, resilience, and the transformative power of sport, exploring the delicate balance between revenge and healing in the unforgiving world of mixed martial arts.

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

"Flower Blooms Under the Moonlight": _Prologue: The Moon's Promise_ Lunarhaven, 1850 Under the full moon's silvery gaze, two lovers stood before the ancient tree, their hearts entwined like the branches above. María, with skin as pale as moonlight, and Carlos, with eyes as dark as the night sky, vowed to protect the town's hidden magic. Their love was forbidden, yet they defied the conventions of their families' centuries-old feud. As they exchanged promises, the moonlit flower bloomed at their feet, its petals shimmering with an otherworldly glow. María's voice whispered secrets to the wind: "Our love will flourish like this flower, under the moon's watchful eye. Our family's legacy will thrive, hidden from those who would misuse its power." Carlos's fingers intertwined with María's: "Together, we'll safeguard Lunarhaven's magic, passing it down through generations. Our love will be the key to unlocking its secrets." As they sealed their vow with a kiss, the moon reached its zenith. The flower's glow intensified, imbuing their love with its mystical power. But fate had other plans. A rival family, fueled by ambition and greed, sought to claim Lunarhaven's magic for themselves. Shadows crept into the night, threatening to destroy the fragile peace. María's final words echoed through the darkness: "When the moon blooms again, our legacy will live on. Find the flower, and you'll find our truth."

Agness always felt like something wasn’t right with her life. Everything seemed normal on the outside—she went to school, had friends, and lived with her parents, who were both scientists. But deep down, she felt different, like she didn’t belong. Then, things started to change in ways she couldn’t explain. It began with strange dreams. Every night, she saw a man with glowing eyes standing in the shadows, watching her. The dreams felt so real that they scared her. Soon, her body began to change too. Agness noticed her senses were sharper than before. She could hear things from far away, smell things no one else noticed, and see details others missed. She even felt stronger and faster, like her body was becoming something else. At first, she thought it was just stress or being tired, but the changes didn’t stop. It wasn’t normal, and it made her feel even more out of place. Her parents started acting weird, too. They became more protective and secretive, whispering about things when they thought she couldn’t hear. One night, Agness overheard her dad talking to her mom about her DNA. He sounded nervous and mentioned something about it being “different.” That was when Agness decided she had to know the truth. Late at night, she sneaked into her dad’s lab to see what they were hiding. What she found shocked her. Her dad had research papers and files about her DNA. Her blood wasn’t normal—it was special. It was connected to something ancient. Agness learned that her DNA carried the gene of the first vampire. Her parents had been studying her for years without telling her. Her bloodline wasn’t like anyone else’s, and now, something inside her had “awakened.” Confused and scared, Agness needed to clear her head. She got in her car and drove, but it was storming, and the roads were wet. Her car slid off the road and crashed into a tree. When she opened her eyes, she was lying on the ground. Then, she saw him—the man from her dreams. He was standing in the rain, watching her with those glowing eyes. She wanted to speak, but before she could, he disappeared into the darkness. When Agness woke up, she was back in her dad’s lab. She had so many questions, and this time, her parents finally told her the truth. Her DNA was unique, connected to vampires through her ancestors. The gene had been dormant for generations, but now it had activated in her. That was why her senses were changing, why she felt different, and why strange things were happening. Her awakening wasn’t just random. It had drawn the attention of others—dangerous people who wanted her blood for their own reasons. Her parents warned her that she was in danger now. The man from her dreams wasn’t just her imagination. He was real, and he had been watching her for a long time. He said he wanted to help, but Agness didn’t trust him. He seemed cold, and she didn’t know if he was an ally or a threat. The man wasn’t the only one watching her. There was an even older, more powerful vampire who had plans for her blood. Her awakening had started something big, and she was at the center of it. Agness didn’t want any part of this vampire world, but she couldn’t avoid it anymore. Her powers were growing stronger, and so was the danger around her. Agness had to decide who to trust. Could she trust her parents, even though they lied to her for years? Could she trust the man with glowing eyes, or was he only using her? Most of all, could she trust herself as her powers kept growing? She didn’t know what to do, but she had to make a choice. Agness knew her life would never go back to normal. The world of vampires was real, and it was coming for her. She had to decide if she would fight, run, or embrace the darkness inside her. Whatever she chose, her life was forever changed.
