Cure Or Kill

Trick or Truth

Every October, Elysian Ridge High School sheds its pristine facade as a peculiar energy settles over its ivy-covered walls. Known for its excellence and harmony, the school harbors no scandal—at least, not on the surface. But as the days grow shorter and shadows stretch longer, whispers begin to circulate, carried on the crisp autumn breeze. “Have you heard the rumor?” a girl whispers to her friend as they linger near the old south building, its windows boarded and walls weathered with age. Her friend shrugs, feigning indifference. “What rumor?” “The one about the demon,” the girl insists, her eyes darting toward the abandoned structure. “They say it’s caged in that building. And on Halloween, if you bring it a treat, it’ll grant you a wish. Any wish you want.” Her friend snorts, crossing her arms. “Right. Because everyone knows a demon’s a trustworthy wish-granter.” “It’s been a thing for years,” the girl presses on. “My cousin told me about it when she went here. Don’t you wonder what you’d wish for?” The question lingers in the air like a spell, their curiosity pulling them closer to the forbidden building. Yet, beneath their playful banter is a thread of unease. For decades, students have whispered about the demon, daring each other to seek it out. Some return with wild stories of impossible luck. Others leave the rumor behind, pretending it’s just a tale. But what none of them realize is that every wish carries a price—one far greater than anyone could anticipate. This Halloween will test the line between myth and reality. But when you ask the devil for a favor, you may get more than you bargained for. At Elysian Ridge High School, the real question isn’t whether the demon is real—it’s whether you're ready to face the trick or truth?

Killing Dao Fruit

"Nine Heavens cast down the Undying Tree, from the tomb the Immortal's bones were fetched; Taoist Venerable tut-tutted as they drank blood plasma, Old Buddha relished in the chew of meat; Beasts and livestock rang the Dharma Drum, city foxes and hole-dwelling rats boiled in the pot; In the Immortality Wine, the resentful spirits were fishy, at the Killing Banquet, the Dao Fruit was bitter!” In this world where Daoist Skill manifested, countless Sect Cultivators, Side Door Magicians, princes and scholars, officials of high rank and nobles all coveted immortality! Owl God Tomb, stealing heavenly secrets, Pearl Gathering Skill, Holy Infant Pill, bone effigies, Yin God Shrine, human-transformed monsters, Undying Elixir, Red Line Poison, Blood Immortal insects, Mermaid Meat, gold-threaded robes, Five Poisons Primordial Spirit, Seven Star Life Extension... They killed and harmed life only to steal the "Killing Dao Fruit" borne upon that Undying Tree! Until... a sly "Fishing Man" came to this world. Wang Yuan, born with the Small Book of Life and Death, had but a simple and unadorned dream: Amid bustling strings and smoky vistas, on a night bathed in moonlight, in peace and quiet did I lean on the rail, savoring the wind, toasting to the stars. With his "Bride in bridal clothes," watching the sunrise at Taishan in the morning, admiring Qionghua in Luoyang at noon, and drinking under the aurora by the North Sea in the evening. "But you all smell so incredibly fragrant! No more, none shall escape, for today I shall crowdfund Cultivating Immortality! Please... my treasure, turn around!” The blood-red veil of the Bride abruptly fluttered to the ground.

Aquis: Curing Zodiac Island

In a world teetering on the edge of collapse, two unlikely souls are drawn together by fate—and the hidden powers they never knew they possessed. Leon, a quiet yet fiercely determined young man, harbors a dangerous ability: he can manipulate time itself, a gift he’s only begun to understand. After fleeing a world ravaged by a mysterious infection, he finds himself stranded on an isolated island that holds dark secrets far older—and far deadlier—than anything he could have imagined. Zara, a sharp-tongued and fiercely independent woman with the rare power of empathy, can sense the emotions and intentions of others. She’s not one to trust easily, but Leon’s quiet strength draws her in, even as they clash over what comes next in their battle for survival. Together, they must learn to balance their powers—and their undeniable connection—if they are to survive the malevolent force that controls the island. As the infection spreads, turning both people and animals into twisted versions of themselves, the duo discovers that the virus is no mere sickness—it’s a curse, awakened by ancient rituals and controlled by an intelligent, unseen force that stalks them in the shadows. To save themselves and the island, they must decipher cryptic symbols, face their deepest fears, and confront the darkness that lies within the very core of the island—and themselves. In the midst of danger, their banter becomes their anchor: “For someone with a godlike power, you sure second-guess yourself a lot.” “And for someone who can read emotions, you’re awfully good at hiding yours.” “Maybe I just don’t want to admit how much I like you.” “Good thing time’s on our side.” But as they uncover more about the island’s cursed past, their bond deepens, and the stakes become even higher. The line between love and survival blurs as Leon and Zara face choices that could tear them apart—or bring them closer than they ever imagined. Can they stop the infection before it consumes the island—and each other? Or will the forces lurking in the shadows finally claim their due? Aquis is a story of love, survival, and the power that comes with embracing the darkness within.
