Padme The Phantom Menace

A fallen name. A boy with no power. A legend that refuses to stay buried. In the sky-bound city of Ryuki—where magic dances with machines and ancient temples rise beside neon towers—Auren Ryuki lives in the shadow of greatness. Born to a legendary family but with no magic of his own, he’s mocked, ignored, and forgotten. But fate doesn’t care for bloodlines. And forgotten legends… don’t stay silent forever. When a mysterious girl named Rose enters his life, Auren begins to uncover hidden truths—about his city, his past, and a myth known only as Ash Phantom. As the world teeters on the edge of a new war, a sleeping force inside him begins to awaken. Enemies rise. Friendships are tested. And in a land built on broken promises and ancient wars, Auren must find the strength to become more than anyone ever believed he could be. Ash Phantom is a powerful fusion of magic, emotion, and myth—a story of pain, purpose, and the fire that lives in forgotten souls.

When a seemingly golden coin falls into the hands of a boy, his life takes a terrifying turn. The coin, cursed by a long-forgotten evil demon , unleashes a wave of supernatural horrors, twisting reality and endangering those closest to him.

Auren doesn’t remember the beginning. Only the quiet. Only the wrong face staring back at him. In a world ruled by divine law and bloodline magic, a boy wakes in a stranger’s home with golden hair, snow-pale skin, and a name he doesn’t recognize.The man beside his bed calls himself “father.” The villagers think he’s just a quiet child. But Auren knows something is off. The mirror lies. The people smile too easily. And the peace that surrounds him… feels staged. As days pass, he learns to smile, to play the role, to pretend. He helps mix herbs, learns the names of wounds, and studies the world like a historian documenting someone else’s war. Yet beneath the stillness, something festers. A shadow in white robes watches him too closely. A cruel king tightens his grip on the people. And Auren begins to see patterns—connections—between kindness and control, between holiness and violence. The gods are listening. The world is watching. And someone, somewhere, already knows his true name. In a land where faith is absolute and peace is a weapon, the boy who remembers nothing… might be the one they all fear the most.

Fifteen years ago, Asahi Ryuuji was just a humble farmer and martial arts enthusiast from Earth—until he was transported to another world and gifted with an extraordinary power known only as the [Gift of the World]. Chosen as humanity’s last hope, he fought endlessly across kingdoms, ravaged battlefields, and against time itself. And finally, he did the unthinkable: he defeated the Demon Lord and his four strongest generals in a single, world-shaking battle. But victory didn’t bring him peace. Haunted by the countless lives he ended—even those of monsters—Asahi vanished from the world he saved. No grand parades. No goodbyes. No crown. He retreated to the most dangerous and uncharted island in the realm, where nature is wild, magic is ancient, and dragons still roam. There, he began a new life—one of soil, silence, and healing. Now 35 years old, Asahi farms quietly, surrounded by beasts most would flee from, and seeks only the comfort of growing things and listening to the wind. But the world hasn't forgotten him. Neither has she. Elysia—the Dragon Queen, strongest of her kind and ruler of skies—descends upon his island, not with fire or fury, but with understanding. Having watched from afar as Asahi sacrificed everything, she comes not to drag him back to glory, but to stay... by his side. This is not the story of battles and heroes. It is the story of what happens after the final war. Of quiet mornings, shared meals, and slowly blooming love. Of a man learning how to live again.

Inola was just your typical beast kin orphan—ears too sharp, stomach too empty, and dreams far too big for the crumbling orphanage she called home. The place was run by a greasy baron with a combover and a crooked smile, who made sure the kids knew the value of silence, obedience, and cheap labor. But today—today was her thirteenth birthday. And somehow, today also happened to be the day she found herself standing in a line stretching halfway across the capital, clutching a ticket made of black silk and gilded gold leaf. Her fingers trembled just holding it. Everyone else in line stared like she’d grown wings and started breathing fire. She still didn’t know how this happened. All she did was help a sweet old lady cross the road yesterday. The carts had been fast, the rain had been pouring, and she’d nearly slipped twice. But the old lady had smiled, warm as cinnamon bread, and handed her the strange ticket without another word before disappearing into the alleyways. It wasn’t until this morning that Inola learned who that old woman was. The former Queen of Vaerindale. Disguised and wandering the city for her own mysterious reasons. And that ticket? A personal invitation—one of only thirteen—to enter the newly discovered Mythic Dungeon before anyone else. A dungeon no one had survived exploring. A dungeon rumored to contain Essence Stones—ancient artifacts of unimaginable power, used to forge custom classes with limitless potential. And Inola, ragged boots and patched coat and all, was going in as a scout. Well… whatever. Life hadn’t exactly offered her many handouts before, so this? This was a miracle. And she wasn’t about to waste it. Her claws flexed. Her tail twitched with anticipation. “I’m going to make a better life for myself. Even if I have to claw it out of the dungeon with my bare hands.” Read as this fox kin becomes the most powerful illusion-type classer as she masters how to bend reality with her Phantom Weaver of the Veiled Eclipse class.

Weewooweewoo! As the latest agent recruited by the Bureau of Paranormal Activity, Catheris Orial–suffice to say–is NOT having a swell time being dragged around. His mentor is kind of a deadbeat; he has to wake up way too early; it's obviously not fun getting jumped on the job; and oh… oh that damned partner of his…! Catheris never asked for any of this–in fact he didn't want the job in the first place; he was already a tailor. Rather, he was forced into this by an unexpected roommate. He knew that moving to a new place would bring along some uncertainties and surprises, but having a demon was NOT what he had in mind. It’d never show itself and would fuck up his kitchen for whatever petty reason. He didn't care about that, why would he? He found it a tad bit amusing–until its behavior had a drastic change. He found himself having episodes: clawing at his neck, unable to breathe. Suddenly, he’d wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, chest tight before he’d notice the wetness on his cheeks–crying searing hot ink again. The most jarring thing was how it’d appear in his liminal dreams. He wasn't the paranoid type, but he wasn't stupid–it was all real. That’s when he unfortunately met Detective Mr. Beo, who offered him a deal–either suffer, or let the government study him. Unfortunately, said detective is also his partner. But… the other coworkers aren't so bad. In conclusion the man is fucked, literally and metaphorically.

In a place where survival means standing above the rest, can a man who desires nothing still escape the gravity of greatness?
