Gorko Tunnel Shrine

In a world where past and present intertwine, Isla's reality fractures with the utterance of a forgotten name: Isolde. It's a name that unlocks a torrent of vivid, unsettling memories, binding her to an ancient conflict and a malevolent force named Thane. He claims her as his, plunging her into a desperate struggle against a darkness that threatens to consume not just her, but the very fabric of her world. With Kai, her steadfast protector, Isla seeks refuge, but sanctuary proves fleeting. They are hunted, their every move shadowed by unseen eyes, their refuge a fragile illusion against encroaching dread. The deeper they delve, the more they uncover: ancient prophecies, hidden sanctuaries, and the legacy of Elara, a powerful ancestor whose blood flows through Isla's veins. Betrayal strikes from within, shattering their trust and casting them into a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels, where ancient forges whisper tales of forgotten battles. Here, they learn to wield their inherited powers, forging weapons of light against the encroaching shadows. In a climactic confrontation, they face Thane in his obsidian throne room, a battleground where light clashes with overwhelming darkness. Despite their courage, Thane seizes the amulet, a conduit of ancient power, threatening to unleash its corrupted energy. Yet, Elara's spirit, defiant and unyielding, resists, offering a fragile glimmer of hope. Isla and Kai, battered but unbroken, stand against the encroaching darkness, their fates irrevocably intertwined with the echoes of a shattered queen. They must confront not only Thane, but the fractured fragments of their own pasts, the lingering whispers of betrayal, and the terrifying possibility that the light they carry may not be enough to extinguish the encroaching shadows. The final battle looms, where the very essence of memory and identity will be tested, and the fate of their world hangs precariously in the balance.

Welcome to the Dungeon Survival Game. Your objective: Survive. Here are the rules. [You are trapped. Beneath the surface, in a labyrinth of interconnected, honeycomb-shaped caves. The air is thick, hot, and smells of burnt earth.] [Dig or Die. Each day, you have a limited number of chances to dig through the earthen walls, using the provided shovel. Each tunnel leads to a new, unknown cave.] [Resources are Scarce. Food, water, and weapons are hidden throughout the caves. Find them, or perish.] [Danger Lurks. Horrific creatures, remnants of a lost underground civilization, and even other desperate survivors, will be your constant adversaries.] [One Way Out. There are no return trips. Every choice, every tunnel, is permanent.] But there's a twist. Nick hears a voice. A hint... [Beware the right, the scorching magma within the cave will instantly claim your life!] Is it guidance? A trick? Or something far more sinister? Can he survive in this game? Can he build more than just a temporary refuge? Can he create a true home, a Dungeon City, in this abyss?

On a night of fire and betrayal, the kingdom's capital burns as treachery tightens its grip. Prince Thorven, son of King Eldric, watches in horror as his father is slain, a traitor’s dagger buried deep in his chest. The city falls to enemy forces, and Thorven stands on the brink of defeat. But death will not claim him—not yet. With the aid of his loyal friend Garan and a handful of warriors, Thorven flees through secret tunnels, escaping the city that was once his home. Though his heart demands vengeance, he knows survival is the only path to reclaiming his throne. Northward they ride, seeking refuge among old allies, pursued relentlessly by the enemy's assassins. The journey is perilous—merciless winter, dwindling supplies, and the ever-present shadow of death test Thorven’s strength. But he is no longer merely a prince mourning his lost kingdom. He is a ghost in the darkness, a blade yet to strike. When the first great battle erupts in the heart of the forest, Thorven proves he is not a fallen heir but a storm of reckoning. His oath is clear: “They believe they have won. But I will return.

[ORIGINAL] Story by: Saromaru Art by: Hero Attention to all readers, there are maybe lots of grammar mistakes when you read. I promise I'll adjust it and will improve the story mistakes. Pardon me, If I published very long, but it usually takes me 1-3 days not to publish. So, not to worry. The reason why I published late: is because I was fixing the grammar and the story, I could be sick, and probably I was busy doing school stuff, you know that's a pain in the a$$. That's all my message, for those who read this have a good day and god bless you all! :D Reminder: stay healthy cause its corona. . . . ______________________________ [CONGRATULATIONS!!] You have unlocked your main ability.

In a world where magical powers and monsters exist in this world. 72% of people have this kind of power and they can see a system in front of them or they don't even have any. Systems are where they can see their data powers and ability chains, and where they have to level up until they reach their full potential by training. Many monsters have also inhabited this world, and their powers are shown by ranks. Magical powers can come from lineages or shrines if they are lucky enough to be chosen. Magical powers that come from lineages can not provide a system board. These magical powers are available when the person reached the age of 10, and they will unlock an ability called "Main Ability." These main abilities are shown to have different types, such as; physical, mage, support, and other types. Akira Keita, a warrior from a distant land, travels to the central city of Celesta. A city where warriors, soldiers, and knights fought for the city's sake and a safer place to live. Akira achieves his main ability, called "immortality," And he can't die from anything, literally. Even though he died many times, he still managed to live without harm. He is one of the warriors whose healing rate is the highest amongst the warriors from Celesta. But as he grows and trains, he gets stronger and stronger until he finally reaches his goal of becoming the strongest warrior in all corners of the world.

Rebirth of the Forgotten Worker Aya Kurose was just another overworked, underpaid corporate drone, trapped in an endless cycle of soul-crushing labor. But when an unexpected case of workplace poisoning sends her to an early grave, she assumes she’ll finally get some well-earned rest—or at least reincarnate into a better life. Fate, however, has other plans. Aya wakes up… as an ant. Not a powerful monster, not a fantasy adventurer, not even a queen—just a lowly worker ant in an underground colony ruled by instinct and endless labor. Trapped in a world where back-breaking work is her only purpose, she must adapt to her new life of tunnel digging, food carrying, and military-grade workplace discipline. But Aya refuses to accept her fate. If she’s going to live as an insect, she’ll do it her way. Whether it’s exploiting her newfound abilities, manipulating the hive mind, or climbing the social ladder of ant society, she’s determined to survive—and maybe, just maybe, take control of her own destiny for once. Between ruthless ant politics, terrifying natural predators, and a work environment somehow worse than her old job, Aya’s second life is anything but peaceful. But if the universe thinks it can break her, it’s in for a rude awakening. Because no matter what, she refuses to be just another expendable worker.

Book 1 is now available for order! Volume 1: https://a.co/d/0ao1rdn0 The first volume has been taken down for the Amazon release. Published by Riverfolk Publishing. *********************************** My name is Tim or was that is until I died, there was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God. I didn’t die heroically saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away... That should have been the end of the road for me but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimension travelers and was reincarnated. Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited at the opportunity, if not for my new siblings who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or my mother who seemed to have something with throwing me off cliffs, and let’s not forget my murderous father who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage. Oh did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

In the shadowy depths of an ancient forest in Heian Japan, a nameless European knight finds himself inexplicably transported from his homeland to a realm unknown, hundreds of kilometers away from the familiar landscapes of Europe. Lost and bewildered, he stands amidst the towering trees of a foreign land, his armor gleaming like a beacon in this distant time period. As the knight grapples with the enigma of his sudden displacement, he soon discovers that this world is teeming with malevolent forces, demons, and spirits drawn from the rich tapestry of Japanese folklore. They torment him, as if toying with the interloper who has unwittingly stumbled into their domain. Each encounter with these supernatural entities becomes a harrowing battle, his sword clashing against the eerie, otherworldly forms that emerge from the shadows. Yet amidst the chaos and danger, a ray of hope emerges in the form of a mysterious shrine maiden. She becomes his guide in this realm, her gentle presence a lifeline in a sea of unfamiliar customs and an impenetrable language barrier. Together, they embark on a quest, not only to confront the demons that have ensnared him but also to decipher the ancient mysteries of Heian Japan. Their journey takes them through a world of vividly painted landscapes, from the bustling streets of Heian-era Kyoto to the serene tranquility of remote mountain shrines. Along the way, the knight gains a deep appreciation for the life of the common folk in this ancient East Asian society, as he witnesses the delicate interplay between Shinto and Buddhist practices and becomes entwined in the cultural tapestry of the time. As the battles against the malevolent spirits intensify, the knight's quest for a way back to his European homeland becomes deeply personal. The demons have not only transported him across time and space but have also tampered with his very existence. Determined to reclaim his lost identity and return home, he must muster every ounce of courage and determination, forging an unbreakable bond with the shrine maiden.

Detective James Nolan has seen his fair share of grisly crime scenes, but nothing prepares him for the case that he gets called out to-a brutal murder with eerie, cryptic symbols left behind. As he digs deeper, the evidence pulls him into a shadowy world of masked figures, underground tunnels, and whispers of an ancient cult seeking to summon something far worse than death itself. With his skeptical partner, Francis, by his side, James follows the trail through a city gripped by fear, uncovering a ritualistic conspiracy where reality itself seems to bend. When an unexpected ally emerges-one whose faith manifests in unseen but undeniable ways-the detectives must decide whether to trust what they can't see before the cult's plan reaches its terrifying climax. In a desperate race against time, James will face forces beyond his understanding, questioning whether he's chasing killers... or something far more sinister.

In the Edo period, a legendary samurai rose to become the Winter Shogun, a warrior so powerful that he crushed yokai, conquered nations, and drowned the world in war. But his ambition turned him into a tyrant. The gods, angered by his cruelty, cursed and sealed him away on a secret island, leaving behind a world that would never forget his wrath. For 800 years, the snow never ceased to fall in the land of Yukihara, a reminder of his fury. Now, in the year 1600, war once again ravages the land. In Tsukiyama, a sacred village blanketed in eternal snow, an 18-year-old shrine keeper named Shiro lives a peaceful life, unaware of the dark fate awaiting him. When a mysterious tragedy strikes the Daimyo’s castle, Shiro is caught in a storm of betrayal, bloodshed, and forgotten legends. Branded an enemy, hunted by warriors, and haunted by the past, Shiro must uncover the truth—before the Winter Shogun’s curse awakens once more. As ancient forces stir and war looms on the horizon, will Shiro uncover his true destiny, or will he be swallowed by the sins of the past?
