Eminence In Shadow Beta

Shadow Ascendant

In the world of Tenebrous, where darkness births monsters and shadows hold secrets, Kael emerges as an unlikely protagonist. Once a promising E-class hunter, his life was shattered when his clan was massacred and he was framed for their murder. Now branded as a traitor by the Hunter's Guild, Kael survives in the shadows, driven solely by his quest for revenge against those who destroyed everything he held dear. A mysterious awakening triggers the activation of a hidden system, marking Kael as its chosen vessel. This ancient power recognizes his rare Shadow Affinity – a trait occurring in perhaps one hunter in ten thousand – and sets him on a path toward unimaginable strength. As he navigates this new reality, Kael discovers he can manipulate darkness itself, moving unseen and striking from the very shadows. The story follows Kael's journey through a complex world where hunters are ranked from F-class novices to the legendary SSS-class masters who can reshape reality. Within this hierarchy, Kael must navigate treacherous political landscapes, forge unexpected alliances, and confront ancient mysteries while pursuing his vengeance. His path becomes intertwined with powerful forces – including enigmatic figures who seem to understand more about his destiny than they reveal. Through trials and tribulations, Kael evolves from a hunted traitor into something far more formidable. Each challenge pushes him closer to his goal of revenge, but also reveals deeper truths about Tenebrous and his place within it. As he rises through the ranks, he must confront whether his pursuit of vengeance will consume him entirely, or if he can forge a different path – one that balances his desire for justice with the weight of his growing power. Will Kael remain forever bound to the shadows of his past, or will he emerge as something greater – a force capable of reshaping the very fabric of Tenebrous?

Beta Zander Perez

“You want to know about the mate bond we share?” His words stopped me midway as I turned around to face him. I didn’t say a word as I felt my heart palpitate in anticipation. “Beta Perez, I…” Before I could speak, he continued. “I have decided to never let a woman into my life, Miss. James. I have learned long back that they only serve as a distraction. Why would I need a mate if I could have any women I want? Am I right, Miss. James?” He asked me as I felt my eyes burn, but I held back my tears. “A mate is your better half, Beta Perez.” I choked out the words when he let out a humorless laugh. “According to me, you need a mate to satisfy your needs and maybe an heir in the long run. I think I can buy that with some money, Miss. James.” “Don’t you feel the mate bond, Beta Perez?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer. “I would have at least considered mating with you if you held a rank, Miss. James. But I don’t think I want a woman who is a nobody with a lonely mother and a runaway father.” I felt my chest rise and fall in anger while something broke within me. A tense silence engulfed us as we stared at one another. Join us in this journey where Aurora and Zander find love again as sparks ignite between them and desire crackles in the air, the tension builds, pushing them closer together. Will Zander’s feelings toward the mate bond transform as he grapples with the chemistry between them, or will fear of another heartbreak drive him to reject her? The future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: their destinies are intertwined in ways they never anticipated.

Shadow of Realm

Ezren Veydrion awakens to a world that is not his own. Once an ordinary man, he now finds himself in a realm where magic rules, monsters roam, and Awakeners wield powers granted by a system-like force. Yet, unlike others, Ezren is no mere Awakened—he is an anomaly, a being unbound by the laws of existence. The system welcomes him with an ominous message: > [Congratulations for successfully Crossing-Over the world] > [First Mission Assigned] [1. Register yourself as an Awakened-hunter. 2. Level up to 10th level to obtain a “Class.”] But something is wrong. He does not belong to any Realm. Not to Life, Death, Chaos, or Void. Instead, he is chosen by the Shadow, a force unseen, undetected, and forbidden—a power that lurks between all Realms, allowing him to absorb their essence, infiltrate their laws, and bend them to his will. The ancient rulers of existence—the Guardians of the Realms—call him a mistake, a threat that must be erased. For his very presence disrupts the balance, unraveling the veil that holds this world together. But why was he brought here? Why does this world feel like it’s hiding something? And why does he feel as though his existence was never meant to be? As Ezren grows stronger, he embarks on a journey not just for survival, but for answers—answers that may change everything he knows about himself… and this reality. --- Expect the novel to be with Dark-Mysterious, Action-fantasy and system-based elements integrated, not focused on Leveling-Up but more on Mysteries. Chapters uploaded with an average 700 words per chapter.

Wander West, in Shadow

Long ago, the wicked White Queen launched a brutal war of conquest, bringing the lands to freezing ruin. An entire generation was swallowed by the flame and horror of the Queen's War. It ended as it must: the White Queen was slain, her ambitions broken, her erstwhile kingdom shattered. It has been some years now since the news of her death, but the lands still bear the scars of her cruelty. And where humanity has retreated, fae, demons and other horrors have sprung up from the shadows. The young wizard Martimeos journeys through these cursed and shadowed lands, searching for a sign of his older brother, who disappeared into the fire and fury of the Queen's War. Joined by the mysterious swamp-witch Elyse, they must make their way through this dangerous world, uncovering haunting memories of the past. As Martimeos finds his brother's trail, he begins to wonder what sort of man he was, and whether or not the war had changed him. How far will he have to journey until he discovers his brother's fate? How long will he wander west? WANDER WEST, IN SHADOW is a slow-paced, classic sword and sorcery tale that takes place in a dark fantasy world of faded kingdoms and lost history. Magic in this setting is less powerful than in many other fictions, especially when Elyse and Martimeos are first starting out their journey. Discretion is the better part of valor, and it is often better to run than it is to stand and fight. If you are interested in a long story full of danger and mystery and some darker themes, where the protagonists gradually become stronger, this may be the series for you! I will post a chapter a day on weekdays here until the first book is finished.

Almost 1000 years ago, when men sought to be like gods, the black Lily cult decided to make a god of their own, Damien, but something went wrong, turning the “god” into a devil.

Through the excursion, they had various encounters that led her to believe he was no ordinary boy, but her curiosity ended as they graduated, putting an end to their meeting, or so she thought.

Unknown to her, this boy, Damien, turned out to be a devil—the very devil she had been looking for all along. While in his house, she accidentally gets cursed, cursed to have a part of his power lodged in her, making her a target for the forces who want said power. Now she’s living her life, trying to make it through each day with a death sentence around her neck. With the help of Damien and the other devils, will she survive, or will the curse cut her down before she can be saved?

Shadow of Terror

Is it really that hard to stop using violence? For Collin, it wasn’t just hard—it felt almost impossible. Violence had been her language, her release, her *identity* for as long as she could remember. At just five years old, her father had taught her how to throw a punch, how to stand her ground, how to fight back. What started as self-defense quickly became something more. She didn’t just use her fists—she *enjoyed* it. The adrenaline, the power, the way people backed off when they saw her coming. It was intoxicating. But now, standing at the gates of Nexus High School, Collin had made a promise—to herself, to her mom, to the life she was trying to rebuild. No more fights. No more violence. Just a normal high school experience. The problem? Old habits die hard. Collin clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she forced herself to take a deep breath. The urge to swing at the girl who’d bumped into her earlier was still simmering under her skin. *“It’s just a coat,”* she told herself, even though it wasn’t. It was a gift from her dad, a piece of him she carried with her every day. But violence wasn’t the answer anymore. At least, that’s what she kept telling herself. High school was supposed to be a fresh start. A chance to leave behind the girl who ruled the playground with her fists, the girl who sent bullies running with just a glare. But as she walked through the halls of Vale High, Collin could feel the weight of her past pressing down on her. The whispers, the stares, the familiar faces from middle school—they all reminded her of who she used to be. And then there was *him*. The boy she’d tormented back in middle school, the one who now looked at her with a mix of fear and resentment. His presence was a stark reminder of the promises she’d made—and how easily they could be broken. Collin had always been a fighter. But now, the biggest battle wasn’t against someone else—it was against herself. Could she really leave her old life behind? Could she keep her promise and live a normal life, or would the temptation to throw just *one more punch* be too much to resist? The bell rang, signaling the start of her first class. Collin squared her shoulders, took another deep breath, and stepped into the classroom. This was her chance to prove she could change. But deep down, she knew it wouldn’t be easy.
