Halloween Eight

On the 29th Festival Day, eight children were born - not to prophecy, but to freedom. Their birth shook kings, gods, and demons alike. Scattered across the world, raised in secret, each carries a forgotten legacy - and a power strong enough to break fate itself. No prophecy. No destiny. Only will.

At the heart of the city of Axis, a boy who should not exist sends a team into the Pit—a vast, reality-warping abyss where science and sorcery blur. He is called the Director. He looks eight. He speaks in riddles. And he knows too much. Chosen by him, a war-scarred captain, a blade-wielding survivor, and a brilliant but timid scholar descend through a labyrinth of forgotten relics, fractured minds, and living nightmares. Each floor tests their strength. The Director tests their purpose. But as they go deeper, one question rises louder than the rest: Who is leading them... and why?

He was a prestigious man who dominated the Imperial Capital, cold and tyrannical, overshadowing everything with just a wave of his hand. When he accidentally met her and began to dote on his wife, he spared not even his own mother. Everyone envied her, yet they didn't know his adoration was truly exhausting her. "You're not allowed to wear backless dresses, and skirts must not rise above the knee. No kissing scenes, no physical contact with male actors, and you must be home by eight o'clock every night."

An extraordinary genius in cultivation, after encountering the Xuan Yuan Divine Dragon Technique, his skills skyrocketed but he still struggled to break through a bottleneck. The old man calculated with his fingers and said, your opportunity lies at the foot of the mountain! Lin Xi was stunned and nearly burst into tears: After all these years, you finally said those words.

"Just leave, boy. I have arranged a marriage for you, and she's a stunning beauty. Consider yourself lucky!" With his master fleeing with the money, Lin Chen, filled with sorrow and anger, left the mountain to find his fiancée. However, on the way, he was abducted by a beautiful woman who forced him to pose as her fake boyfriend. The most important thing was, this woman looked exactly like his fiancée.

After returning from eight years in prison and being betrayed by my girlfriend, there are two ways I can deal with her man. First, I could use this over a million to have someone fix you up Or second, I could take care of you myself, which would cover your medical expenses

"Listen up, my obedient disciple, it's time for you to descend from this mountain. Your master has arranged a marriage for you with a stunning beauty, and it's quite a steal!" With those words, the master absconded with the dowry, leaving Lin Chen feeling both aggrieved and furious. Determined, he descended the mountain to find his betrothed. However, fate had other plans, as he was waylaid on the road by a captivating woman who insisted he play the role of her fake boyfriend. To make matters even more bewildering, this woman bore an uncanny resemblance to his intended bride!

After the final high school exams, Zheng Qing didn't go to the long-desired Imperial University. Instead, he packed his bags, hugged his fox, followed an enigmatic notice, and ventured into an unknown university. Here, there was no advanced math, English, or political philosophy; they were replaced with divination, astronomy, and the philosophy of magic. Extracurriculars here involved demon hunting, And the hobbies were curious and diverse. He would sail the sea of learning and climb the mountain of books. This bewildered young man started his tumultuous journey as a wizard. (Group created: Six Two Three Eight Five Eight Nine Three One, you're welcome to join.)

In his past life, everyone was jealous of Lu Ye, the Nine-Lives Celestial Lord. Not just because he had nine lives, but also because eight of the most beautiful and powerful women in the world were by his side. But no one could have guessed—when Lu Ye was just one step away from becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint—all eight of them turned on him at once and stabbed him in the back. The Nine Heavens Sword Maiden shouted, “I’m the master of the Nine Heavens Sword! But because of you, everyone thought I was just your sword servant. Lu Ye, you deserve to die!” The Red Lotus Fairy said, “Senior Brother, don’t blame me. If not for you, I would’ve become an immortal couple with someone else. I never wanted to be a Saint—I just wanted to be with the one I truly loved.” The Vermilion Bird Demon Empress laughed coldly. “Lu Ye, when you were killing demons, did you forget I’m a demon too? You said you were protecting me, but the one who hurt me the most… was you!” --- When time turns back, and the eight empresses return to the past with all their memories, Lu Ye wakes up with a bitter smile. This time, he finally understands—forcing someone to stay never brings real love. So now, he’s done trying to control fate. He won’t chase after them again. He won’t force anything. This time, Lu Ye decides to step back… and watch how these proud, powerful women live their lives without him. And who knows—maybe this time, the story will change.

I thought I was just pulling for a rare character in my favorite gacha game. Instead, I woke up as him. Trafalgar du Morgain — the weakest of the Eight Great Families. The ninth son. No talent. No future. Bullied, beaten, forgotten. A character with the worst stats, the worst backstory… and the lowest chance of survival. He was meant to die. But I’m not playing a game anymore. This world is real. The pain is real. And I’ve inherited his curse… along with an SSS Talent that no one knows exists.

There isn't just a grain of truth behind superstition. It's a boulder of truth, and it's about to roll onto the world. Humanity has forgotten the ancient ways of magic, ritual, and the occult, as mana has disappeared from the world over the past millennia. Once-powerful creatures are now remembered as silly cryptids. Organizations that, in ancient times, guided the world of mortals from the shadows have now turned into conspiracy theories, and powerful rituals and ancient gods have become nothing more than superstition and old beliefs. But the universe never stays constant, and change is inevitable. Magic begins to make its return. Mythical creatures start to crawl out from their hidden lairs, the Ouija boards start summoning real demons, and college Halloween haunted-house parties turn into real horrors. The world slowly descends into chaos. But all of this isn't bad news for everyone. This is a breath of fresh air to Samuel, the last remaining member of a once-infamous wizard family known for their strange deals with Eldritch gods. Following in his ancestors' footsteps, he embarks on a path to the pinnacle of magic and dark arts. Hopefully, the chaos will transform his work as an exorcist from explaining to old ladies that their cat vomiting on the carpet is not a sign of possession to fighting some proper ghosts and demons. The exorcist business is about to boom, but is this a good thing for the rest of the world?

There are no roads here. No phones. No time. Just trees that breathe, soil that remembers, and the weight of memories they thought they had buried for good. They come from different worlds — each one carrying wounds deeper than the skin, regrets they never voiced, and choices they can’t undo. And yet, they wake up in the same place. A forest unlike anything they’ve known — untouched by the world, but pulsing with something ancient. Rooted in Indian tradition, the forest doesn’t just offer shelter. It offers confrontation. Yoga. Meditation. Martial arts. Ancient wisdom passed through whispers and wind. These are no longer traditions. They’re survival. The eight begin a journey not just through the forest — but through themselves. Friendships will form in silence. Rivalries will spark in shadows. And love may bloom — even in the most unlikely hearts. But not all of them are ready to heal. Not all of them want to be saved. This is not a dream. This is not redemption. This is the Odyssey of Eight.
