World-Building & Core Concept: A terrifying new game has taken over the world, and humanity has been forced to play. Mysterious forces have invaded, trapping players in a deadly survival game where they must face terrifying ghosts, unravel twisted rules, and risk death at every turn. One wrong move, and it’s game over. The Protagonist's Special Ability: Luca awakens a unique power called "Temptation of the Dead," which boosts his natural charm with ghosts, making them inexplicably drawn to him. This ability flips the traditional horror game on its head. Instead of feeling hunted, Luca begins to develop bizarre, often absurd interactions with the very creatures meant to kill him. Main Plot & Character Dynamics: As Luca's special ability makes him the center of attention for a host of creepy, otherworldly beings, his journey takes a strange turn: A seductive ghost nurse, eager for his help with an "IV," shows an unexpected vulnerability and creates a weird but endearing dynamic. A bloodthirsty vampire countess becomes fixated on Luca’s blood, turning her thirst into a strange form of flirtation. A skinning ghost relentlessly demands he help her complete the “perfect human skin,” leading to hilariously awkward situations. Other ghosts, like a ghost bride and zombie princess, also form twisted and complex relationships with him. Growth & Conflict: Luca evolves from a simple player into the "Doomed Knight," and his partnerships—and emotional entanglements—with ghosts drive the plot forward. In the early chapters, the ghost Lina risks everything to protect him, building a bond of trust. As the story progresses, deeper conflicts emerge, such as power struggles and mysteries tied to the game world’s origins, hinting at darker, more complex forces at play. Style & Highlights: This novel blends horror with comedy, using a light-hearted, humorous tone to defuse the tension of the typical horror game. Luca’s interactions with ghosts—who find him strangely irresistible—provide countless comedic moments. The vampire countess, with her elegance and bloodlust, offers a perfect example of the novel’s unique blend of humor and horror. The character lineup is diverse, with female ghosts featuring both Eastern and Western fantastical elements. For instance, the "Soul in the Painting" combines Chinese fantasy with Western vampire lore, offering a variety of “non-human romance” scenarios that fans of the genre will love. In Conclusion: Thriller: I Am the Death Knight! is a wild ride, full of dark humor, thrilling adventures, and unexpected twists. It’s perfect for fans of horror, romance, and everything in between, offering a fresh take on the genre that’s bound to keep you hooked!

But the moments keep piling up. The city around him feels… wrong. The people, the places things he’s known his whole life suddenly feel unfamiliar, like a script he’s no longer following.

"Arise, Shadowmancer—defy the gods, wield the shadows of your shattered past, or be consumed by the void." I’ve died twice. Once as the prince of Avalon. Once as a soldier on Earth. Both times, I lost everything. But now, I’ve returned—a week before the world collapses. Before Earth merges with Avalon’s Fall, an online game that tears the fabric of reality, unleashing monsters and beasts into the real world, creating an apocalypse where survival demands power… or death. This time, I won’t be weak. I severed ties with the woman I failed to protect. I abandoned the person I was, hoping she might survive without me. But the world has other plans. In one month, the Devil will descend—the monstrous swordsman who has taken everything from me in every past life. This time, I hold the power of the SSSR-Rank Shadowmancer. I will command the shadows, bend them to my will. I will rise because I’m no longer the man who let fear dictate my fate. Yet nothing is perfect… The game branded me an NPC—not a player, but a pawn trapped in a system that controls my every move, limiting my growth, freedom, and humanity. Am I even real to you, Solaria? The goddess Solaria controls my fate. I don’t understand her motives, but I know she’s pulling the strings. Worse, Sena won’t stay away, bringing hope I can’t allow myself to accept… I don’t know why I was reborn, or if I’ll ever be truly free. But with my wits, my Shadows, and a power I was never meant to wield… I will defy the system and carve my own path. —------ Please show your support. This is a novel for the WSA 2025 Competition.

Please don't skip this: Warning. This contains dark, cringe, edgy, braindead, tragic type elements, not a world filled with sunshine's. So if you want sunshine, read any other work apart mine, well, as long as I have only 1 reader, I’d try to continue it. Additionally, I'll repeat it again, this work is edgy and cringe, so, I'd advice you to read the intro chapter in the auxiliary. Synopsis: Ever wonder about a main character who can cross dimensions just by sleeping? Someone who isn’t constrained by space-time. Additionally immortal in the process.... but of course, none of this came to him for free. Ren Aristella. An existence that should not exist in the first place, who possessed powers to transcend dimensions and order, bypassing the laws of the Meta-World whereby normal laws doesn’t apply to him. However, the world as Ren knew it wasn’t the same after discovering Supernaturals existed. Awakened. People who had attained a higher existence that transcended human comprehension, however, the world is at peace, so what? You’d be surprised that the world isn't as peaceful as it looked. Ancient Gods, Eldritch Gods, Divine Humans, other worlds, hunting for him from other dimensions. With all of the above running about… humanity isn't exactly safe. And in situation like this, perhaps the person needed to save the world isn't a hero or a messiah, but a teenager who's forced to be edgy just because he can't die. Note: This is but a fictional story. Also, image's not mine, but I'd say he looks exactly like that. Additionally MC may look one dimensional, but I'll do my best, though the kind of situation I put him in makes him kind of one dimensional, but I have come to terms with it.
