In a world where demons rule and humanity lingers in the shadows, society is strictly divided. Demons are categorized into three castes: Big Horns, extremely rare and overwhelmingly powerful; Medium Horns, the ambitious middle class; and Small Horns, the common people or demons if you will. Meanwhile, humans live in segregated communities, their very existence dictated by an invisible force known as Life Essence—the intoxicating energy they emit, the substance demons crave. For the safety of both species, humans and demons lead entirely separate lives. Expect for Cassidy "Cass" Veyne, because bro wanted to be different. Born to a powerful Big Horn father and a human mother, Cass is not a demon. He has no horns, no demonic energy, and—most baffling of all—no Life Essence to feed on. Or at least that's what he has been told his whole life. He’s an anomaly in a world that lives on strict order. But his father, a high-ranking noble in demon society, refuses to let him live among humans. Instead, Cass is forced into Blackthorn Academy (fire name I know), an elite private school meant for the most powerful demons in the country or the ones with the most money. From the moment he steps inside, Cass doesn’t belong. No horns. No power. No fear radiating from him like the others. The students whisper behind his back. Teachers look at him like a puzzle. Some demons want to test him. Others want to break him. At the top of Blackthorn’s social hierarchy is Nathaniel "Nate" Azrael, the student body president, the most feared Big Horn in the school, and the heir to a long lineage of royalty. His dark curling horns, piercing silver eyes, and suffocating aura make even strong demons tremble. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Nate thrives on domination and fear—it’s his nature. Cass is the only one who doesn’t flinch under his gaze. He isn’t afraid of him. And for the first time, Nate doesn’t know whether he wants to destroy Cass… or claim him. A forbidden love between two people who should never have met. A boy trapped between two worlds, struggling to prove he belongs. And a dangerous, undeniable pull between a fearless outcast and the demon who feeds on fear itself. This is Blackthorn under hellfire by yours truly.

No one has ever achieved true perfection, but Abdellatef Sabrou—better known as Latef—came dangerously close. A legendary thief and master of deception, he orchestrated "nine flawless, artistic heists", each a masterpiece of illusion, manipulation, and precision. Banks, auction houses, and jewelry stores fell before his brilliance, their treasures vanishing as if by magic. But behind the elegance of his crimes lay a fractured mind. Schizophrenia blurred the lines between reality and delusion, turning Latef’s world into a labyrinth where he could no longer tell truth from illusion. And yet, through the chaos, his genius thrived. Crime became his art, the world his stage, and law enforcement his unwitting audience. Yet, for all his cunning, love never smiled upon him. He could outwit the most advanced security systems, but he could never hold onto a heart. Seven marriages, seven failures—a testament that even the most brilliant minds cannot master love. Now, long retired, Latef finally breaks his silence. He tells his story—the heists, the madness, the betrayals, and the illusions. But with a mind like his, one question remains: Is this the truth, or just another of his perfect deceptions?

During the Sengoku period, one of the most brutal times in Japanese history, Takayama Ukon, a young and devout Christian samurai, found himself forced to serve under Oda Nobunaga, a man despised by Ukon's father, Soemon. This allegiance, born out of the necessity for survival amid the constant conflicts, would lead Ukon down a path where, over the years, he would find himself against those he once served and helped, while standing alongside those he had killed and helped to kill—men who shared his faith. As Ukon's purpose and cause were redefined, he came to understand the path he must follow. He realized that his survival had become a weapon in the fight for the survival of those who sought his death and those who sought his help. If necessary, there would be war, blood, and tears.

Thus, the Pillar of the Japanese Cross was born, and from this birth would emerge another pillar—Amakusa Shiro, a young man who, while understanding that he needed death for life, also understood that he needed life for death. Later, he would lead a revolt that shone, not in the world's victories, but in the most victorious defeats ever seen.
