Cultivation Nori - Horror **Warning: This isn’t your typical cultivation story. If you're looking for a formulaic journey of power, turn back. This is for those who want their cultivation with teeth, grief, and gods that scream.** The Red Moon looms, its light bleeding across the ruins of a dead world. No voices remain, no echoes of the past, only the wind whispering through hollowed stone. Yet one figure still moves, tracing unseen steps beneath the crimson glow. The boy does not know how long he has wandered, nor why he alone remains. He remembers hunger, the weight of a knife at his hip, and the distant pull of something just beyond memory, a path he must walk, a dance he must complete. But the steps evade him, like a melody half-forgotten. There are things lurking in the dark, creatures that should not exist, bound to the moon's eerie cycle. Somewhere, beneath the veil of time, the truth is buried. Somewhere, within the forgotten rhythm of his own steps, the answer awaits. And when the dance begins again, it will either set him free or consume him entirely.

The war for freedom is far from over. But this time, the enemy isn’t just the government—it’s the ghosts of the past. After escaping Arkadia-7, Myst is left with nothing but fragmented memories and a name that no longer feels like her own. The government may have lost their prized experiment, Blue Rose, but the damage has already been done. Struggling to recover from the mind control that nearly erased her humanity, Myst finds herself caught between the Clan’s growing resistance and the haunting truth of who—or what—she was created to be. But she isn’t the only one changed by the war. As the Clan prepares to strike back against the government’s growing influence, an unsettling presence begins to rise from the shadows. A weapon perfected through pain. The government has never been one to waste a valuable experiment. And some projects never truly end.

But when cursed warrior Kael Thorne returns to the ruins of Veyr’hadal, drawn by visions and a blade that whispers, the seal begins to crack. Haunted by a past he barely remembers and a future written in shadow, Kael finds an unlikely ally in Seren Velora—a rogue with silver eyes and secrets of her own. Bound together by fate and survival, they descend into the forgotten depths, pursued by guardians of ash, hunted by factions who fear what lies beyond the gate, and stalked by something darker than legend. As the Gate of Thorns stirs and prophecy bleeds into reality, Kael and Seren must choose: confront the realm’s hidden horrors, or let the darkness devour their world from beneath. The shadows remember. And now, they’re calling.

Because in this war of hearts, only one of them can truly win.

I had finally done it—achieved the ultimate Paladin build. Maxed stats, impenetrable armor, and so many resistances that death itself had given up on me. I was an unkillable tank, an indomitable force. Nothing could stop me. And then my PC exploded. I died. Irony, thou art a cruel mistress. But instead of the afterlife, I woke up as my Paladin character… in the wrong freaking genre. Instead of castles and dungeons, there were people flying around on swords, shooting qi beams like fantasy laser guns. “This is definitely the wrong genre,” I muttered, watching a pompous young master sneer at me. “Kowtow, kiss my foot, and beg for forgiveness!” he declared. I looked at my imaginary maxed-out health bar, then at his flimsy silk robes. Oh, this was going to be fun. __________________________________________________ Hey everyone!

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

Sci-Fi Fantasy | YA | Dark, Humorous & Cosmic "Born with power. Cursed by its cost." Ash Burns was made for greatness—and doomed by it. His hybrid vein held the promise of limitless strength, yet it shackled him in the first stage of evolution, a prisoner of his own potential. Then the asteroid exploded. It shattered his fate. Now, Ash wields the Titan Vein, a power that bends the laws of his fractured world—a planet split between humanity and horrors, divided by an impenetrable fog. But his newfound strength carries a soul-rending cost: he is no longer alone in his mind. An ancient entity, one step from godhood, stirs within him. And it’s starving. With his crew, Ash plunges into the unknown—across the planet’s cursed half, through time-warped ruins, and into the cosmic void where the gods vanished. Each revelation twists him further from human. Each power-up pulls him closer to oblivion. The more he ascends… the less of him remains.

The Venerable Xiang Yu, an eccentric villainous half-blood demon King was infamous in both the demon and human realm for being a cold-blooded ruthless devil that could kill with no remorse. Demons and humans feared him, cultivators wanted him as a trophy and the immortals saw him as a thorn in their side. The only reason he didn't get smote by the Heavenly King's searing lightning of divine wrath that could kill all mortals and immortals was because he kept the deadliest demons in check maintaining peace between the two realms. Despite his reputation, he had a small cult following in the human realm. They took him as their deity for his selfless acts of benevolence. Such rare selfless acts led him to rescue the fallen immortal Han Xin. But his benevolence became his downfall. Condemned to death, he faced an impossible choice: serve the Heavenly King or die with no marked grave. Xiang Yu: Hahaha... death isn't so bad after all. Heavenly King: You... Han Xin: Wife, you can't escape even in death. At least when you are alive you have a chance to run. Xiang Yu: QAQ...

I watch him, his green eyes brimming with concern as he gently massages my scarred leg. The sensation is both soothing and a stark reminder of my own inadequacy. The once-feared Crimson General, a symbol of power and invincibility, is now nothing but a frail shadow of his former self. I’ve been abandoned, left to decay in this forsaken place, my family and comrades long forgotten. Darkness had become my only solace, and I had resigned myself to it. Then he arrived, a beacon of light in my endless night. His presence, his care—it’s more than I ever deserved. Yet, I find myself clinging to him with an intensity that borders on madness. I hate that I need him so desperately, that his every action and word have become my lifeline. It consumes me, a torment I can't escape. "You don't have to do this. Please, don’t do this. I’m nothing. You deserve better. Leave. Please," I beg, my voice trembling with raw anguish, the very words tearing me apart. He continues his work, seemingly unaffected by my pleas. "Why are you here? Look at me! I’m nothing." Desperation and anger swell within me, mixing into a maelstrom of anxiety. I can’t comprehend the emotions coursing through me. "You're my alpha, where else would I be?" he responds softly, his gaze unwavering, as if my pleas were mere background noise. My heart races, torn between overwhelming relief and paralyzing dread. In that moment, I realize the truth: you would have to tear him from my cold, lifeless arms. I’m never letting go. - General Thorne, betrayed and broken, finds new life and love with Omega Noelle, who nurses him back to health.

"HEIRESS. VILLAINESS. OUTCAST. CAN SHE REWRITE FATE? Eleanor Thorne was hated in life—by her family, by society, even by fate itself. But when a tragic accident sends her soul into the body of Evelyn, the doomed villainess of a Victorian romance novel, she refuses to play the villain any longer. Trapped in a world of strict etiquette and deadly intrigue, Eleanor must outwit the story’s scheming heroine, unravel dark secrets tying both her lives together, and resist the growing pull of the Duke of Blackwood—a man whose icy exterior hides a fire that could either save her or destroy her. But in a tale where everyone expects her to be the monster, can she rewrite her destiny… or is villainy written in her blood? A gripping tale of redemption, romance, and rebellion against fate.

In the iridescent tapestry of Halmosian, where the firmament shimmers with nebulous luminescence and the very air hums with the arcane whispers of forgotten deities, destiny entwines two souls as disparate as dusk and dawn. One, Aleeman Hakiman, a youth of no esoteric endowment yet of indomitable spirit, bears the mantle of teen commander of the Abjannas—warriors of resolute hearts and steely conviction. The other, Wei Yang Hong, a scion prince of the venerable Weng dragon clan, once a paragon of masculine ferocity, now ensnared in the silken chains of a cruel metamorphosis. Cursed into beauteous villainy, he sheds his former self and emerges as Shi Zhao Mei, a vision of ethereal allure, her vengeance as intoxicating as perfumed venom. Bound by fate’s inexorable decree, their paths converge at the Miracheneous Academy, a citadel of erudition and eldritch mastery, where Aleeman seeks knowledge to bridge the chasm of his powerlessness, and Shi Zhao Mei weaves her own enigma, a rose adorned with unseen thorns. Yet, beyond the confines of mortal intrigue, an abyssal spectre stirs—shadow-born abominations slither forth from the chasm of another world, their tenebrous tendrils grasping at the fabric of existence itself. Like a blade bereft of an edge yet held by a masterful hand, Aleeman must carve his legend not through sorcery, but through tenacity, wit, and the unyielding resolve of a commander who leads without the shield of supernatural prowess. And Shi Zhao Mei, a paradox of beauty and brutality, finds herself entangled in the dance of salvation, her past and present warring within as she sways between vehemence and valour. Thus begins their odyssey—a struggle against oblivion, a symphony of peril and promise, a battle where steel meets sorcery, where fate’s quill inscribes their names upon the annals of Halmosian.

Fui caçada desde o momento em que nasci, por ser considerada uma aberração. Mas fui acolhida e protegida por aqueles que conheciam a verdade sobre minha natureza. Cresci aprendendo a me passar por uma entre eles, enquanto buscava poder. Para mim, o poder não era apenas um meio, mas a chave para um futuro em que eu pudesse finalmente ser eu mesma, sem medo ou restrições. Séculos depois, a verdade finalmente se revelou, desvendando as razões por trás da perseguição implacável e os eventos que marcaram meu nascimento. Uma verdade sombria e cruel me foi roubada, assim como a vida daqueles que ousaram defender o que era meu por direito. E agora, não me esconderei mais. Ressurgirei das cinzas do meu passado para reivindicar o que é meu e derramarei fúria sobre aqueles que me causaram tanto sofrimento.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself face to face with Darius Thorne, the main character of [Arcanus Academy], who was looking at me with disdain. Many questions raced through my mind. What is happening? Is this a dream? Why won't he stop yelling? Am I dead? Does he have something stuck in his teeth? Have I somehow entered the world of my favorite game, like in those Web Novels I read so often? I opened my mouth, about to ask one of the many questions that had come to mind upon realizing the huge mess I was in. What I was about to say would be my first words in this new world. I had to be careful; the slightest mistake could worsen my current situation, which, judging by how things looked, didn’t seem good at all. "Can you get that thing out of your teeth? It's distracting me." Everyone nearby fell silent and stared at me until a burst of laughter erupted. Darius covered his mouth, clearly embarrassed.

One moment she was walking down the street, the next, she was choking on a piece of candy and face-planting into the afterlife.

She was one of the most powerful vampires in the world—her name alone struck fear into demons and creatures alike. Yet somehow, he wasn’t afraid of her. He was infuriating, reckless, and completely human. Everything about him irritated her. And yet—he was the only one who could make her laugh. The only one who could make her blush. The only one who made her dead heart beat. But she knew it wasn’t love. It couldn’t be. Because if he was her mate… she would have to kill him. "I love you, Myra," he confessed, his voice steady. She had heard those words a thousand times before. But when she looked into those lapis-blue eyes, the ones that always held her captive—she almost forgot why she couldn’t say it back. "I can’t love you." She had to tell him. Had to remind herself. But he only cupped her face, his forehead resting against hers as he whispered— "You will. That’s a promise."
