Nocturne

"To ascend unto the pantheon, one must claim the visage of a deity who yet lingers upon this earth." As the doom of Avaricia's continent looms with the inexorable tread of a nocturnal specter, a youth of divine lineage, heretofore lamenting a life of sorrow, rises to the challenge of destiny's call. This lad, a demi-god among mortals, amasses an assembly of his ilk, each burdened with a spark of the celestial within their earthly frames. They embark upon a quest most perilous, a final stand against the encroaching shadows that threaten to engulf the four realms of existence. Guided by an audacious scheme, fraught with the very essence of impossibility, they aim to safeguard not only the present, but to ensure a continuance of days to come. Their intent, as daring as it is profane, is to usurp the thrones of those gods who have forsaken their dominion. Yet, such endeavors are not lightly undertaken. For to wrest the scepter from the grip of an immortal sovereignty is a feat that would daunt the stoutest of hearts. "If the Pantheon has turned a blind eye to the realms," the young hero declares with the fiery conviction of one who has glimpsed the abyss, "then perhaps 'tis time for a new order to assume their mantle." Away with the ancients, and hail the new! The nascent deities of Avaricia shall rise, a pantheon reborn in the crucible of fate. The very fabric of the cosmos trembles at their approach. These... 'New Gods of Avaricia'... shall they be heralded as saviors, or condemned as usurpers? Only the inscrutable dance of destiny shall reveal the truth beneath the veil of night.

A mystical jade stirs up both the criminal and martial arts worlds, eight powerful talismans ignite conflicts across the land. In this dire situation, which beloved will come to my rescue? The spell cries out: Fox spirit, haste to my aid as commanded!”

Vlad, a destitute youngster from the slums, held an unwavering admiration for knights. Following an encounter with a bolt of black lightning, he started hearing a mysterious voice. One fateful day, a knight cloaked in the shimmering glow of the blue moonlight appeared, completely upending Vlad’s existence in the back alleys. This extraordinary event proved that even a faint star concealed among the darkest corners of the nocturnal firmament can still radiate its brilliance, should it yearn to shine.

"Crimson Tides: A Royal Bloodline" is an epic tale of duty, love, and the bridges built between two vastly different worlds. In the isolated mountain kingdom of Solaria, Princess Elara lives a life of privilege and purpose, beloved by her people but constrained by royal expectations. As a devastating drought threatens to destroy everything she holds dear, Elara finds herself at the center of a desperate gambit for survival. Across the misty borders, in the shadowy realm of Nocturn, the vampire king Darion rules with cold efficiency. His kingdom thrives in eternal night, but ancient prophecies speak of a union that could change the fate of both realms forever. When vampire envoys arrive in Solaria with an unprecedented offer - the kingdom's salvation in exchange for a royal bride - Elara must make an impossible choice. Agreeing to marry the fearsome Vampire King, she leaves behind everything she's ever known, venturing into a world of darkness and blood that both terrifies and intrigues her. But Elara harbors a secret that threatens to unravel everything: she faints at the mere sight of blood. In a court where bloodlust reigns supreme, her weakness could mean her doom. As she navigates treacherous politics, ancient rituals, and her growing feelings for the enigmatic Darion, Elara must find the strength within herself to bridge two worlds on the brink of war. Darion, initially frustrated by his unusual bride, finds himself drawn to Elara's compassion, wit, and unwavering spirit. Together, they face threats from without and within - power-hungry nobles, ancient prophecies coming to life, and the shadows of their own pasts. As Elara and Darion's relationship deepens from reluctant allies to true partners, they uncover long-buried secrets that connect their kingdoms in ways they never imagined. Their union awakens dormant magic and stirs forgotten legends, setting in motion events that will reshape the destiny of both vampires and humans alike. "Crimson Tides" is a sweeping saga of personal growth, political intrigue, and the transformative power of love. It explores themes of overcoming prejudice, finding strength in vulnerability, and the courageous act of opening one's heart to the unknown. As Elara and Darion fight to unite their people and fulfill an ancient prophecy, they discover that the greatest magic of all lies in the power of understanding, acceptance, and love that transcends all boundaries.

In a realm of mortals, a monster stirred into existence. Initially adrift in purpose, the creature resolved to guard its progenitors, the girl who came before, he intended to defend and protect all of them. As times unfolded, the monster adeptly concealed itself behind the visage of a mortal, humanoid in nature, he easily donned the guise, the mask of a human being. Yet, fear not, for the tale did not conclude there. A young man's agonized wail pierced the nocturnal silence, a lament for all he lost, for all he wished to protect, challenging the heavenly realms and defying the very essence of existence. In his rebellion, the world recoiled, deeming him unworthy of breath, a rejection that ushered his drowning into oblivion. Amidst the struggle for survival, an otherworldly entity took notice. "Perhaps…? Let's test the fortitude of his will!" As the youth teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, a voice resonated in his mind. [Notice: Legendary Skill Reincarnation Acquired!] [Reincarnation has been activated!] ... In a cosmos where gods, devils, humans, myths, and dreams converge into reality, the monster finds rebirth. Yet, navigating this new existence proved arduous, for the world demanded a toll for every breath he took and every moment of joy in it. And such a toll… it will be paid with his life once more. Will the human-masked monster triumph… Or will he fall just like a hundred times before? Let me see an end to it, but now… will you join me, Mortal!? ----------------------------------- Chapter Length: 1700-2400 words. The Mc is a kind of psychopath who wore a mask throughout his life, but I would not easily condemn him as neither good nor evil. (And before you ask. Yes, the MC is kind of a yandere as well.) There will be a harem, but much later or until I start liking another girl character. There is some dark stuff, be it burning flesh, dissecting, blood, extreme agony... Or whatever else, I just want to say if you don't like it be prepared that they are not uncommon here since the MC will show the monster everyone told him to be. A question that arose... When does someone become a monster, do you know? I don't know the specifics either, let's find out... That's it have a nice read, my fellow humans. ;)

Sortir la nuit dans ce monde, c’est s'assurer une mort sanglante ! Une ère de paix et de prospérité régnait sur la Terre, jusqu'à ce qu'un évènement macabre vienne tout bouleverser. Cette nuit tragique était marquée par la métamorphose de la Lune en un globe oculaire géant. Ceux qui avaient le malheur de lever les yeux vers ce dernier déclenchaient l'apparition des Kalamités, des monstruosités ayant pour seule volonté d’anéantir l’espèce humaine. Heureusement, le carnage prenait fin quand l’Œil Rouge se couchait. Dès lors, les Kalamités se volatilisaient, laissant derrière eux la mort, le feu et le sang. Puis le cycle morbide reprenait la nuit suivante. Mais le soir où l’Œil Rouge avait fait sa première apparition était également le jour où environ une personne sur cinq contractait des capacités surnaturelles. Et certains de ces Choisis détenaient en eux le pouvoir de neutraliser ces nouveaux prédateurs nocturnes. Alors, dans l'espoir d’en venir à bout, les gouvernements mirent en place des unités rassemblant les Choisis les plus puissants de la planète. Ainsi fut créé l'ordre des Chasseurs de Kalamités, l'ultime réponse de l'Humanité pour s'opposer à la tragédie qui menace son existence ! Un adolescent répondant au nom de Muden va être impliqué dans cette lutte acharnée. Aujourd’hui il est animé par un unique objectif : percer les mystères des Kalamités afin de les éradiquer une bonne fois pour toutes ! ⚠️Avertissement : cette histoire contient des scènes qui peuvent choquer les plus sensibles.⚠️

Matthew, a 28-year-old man who tragically died in a gas leak, is reborn as Claude, a child born from his mother’s secret affair. From the moment he takes his first breath, his life is one of constant danger—his father, enraged by the betrayal, attempts to kill him time and again. Yet Claude survives, growing stronger and defying the odds. On his 15th birthday, during a long-anticipated magic appraisal ceremony, a terrible truth is revealed: Claude possesses dark magic affinity, a power feared and despised by the holy order. Branded a threat, he and his mother become fugitives, hunted by the ruthless holy knights. Forced to flee, they search for the fabled Elysian Plain, a mysterious land rumored to be a sanctuary for the forsaken. For three years, they evade death at every turn, but as Claude reaches his 18th birthday, he is mortally wounded by the knights. On the verge of death, he and his mother finally reach the Elysian Plain, where destiny awaits. Suddenly, a strange system awakens in his mind: [Welcome to the Elysium of Darkness System, Lord of Nocturn.] [Increase the number of dwellers within Elysium using your seeds and blood!] [Make the cacodaemons and witches bear your children and strengthen your dark domain!]

What kinds of secrets can a fleeing god hide from the all-knowing eyes of heaven, and from a woman who promises she is not more than she appears to be?

In the beginning, when the world was still young and the skies were untamed, there existed a legend known to only a few. It was the tale of the 5 Birds, celestial beings created to safeguard the realms and maintain the balance of nature. These five majestic creatures were revered and feared, their power unmatched and their wisdom boundless. • Divine Owl Sagea, soared above the highest peaks, her golden wings casting a protective shadow over the lands below. She embodied courage and strength, always the first to confront any threat to their world. She was the leader of the 5 celestial birds. • Nocturne, the Raven of Secrets, dwelled in the shadows, his black feathers blending with the night. Keeper of ancient knowledge and hidden truths, he was a master of dark magic, using his powers to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. • Zephyra, the Falcon of Speed, raced with the wind, her silver feathers shimmering in the sunlight. She was swift and agile, a messenger of the gods and a symbol of freedom, her presence a harbinger of hope. • Seraphina, the Swan of Serenity, glided gracefully over tranquil waters, her pure white feathers reflecting her inner peace. She brought harmony and healing, soothing the hearts of those in turmoil and restoring balance to the land. • Pyra, the Phoenix of Rebirth, burned with an eternal flame, his fiery plumage a beacon of renewal and transformation. From the ashes of destruction, he rose again and again, a testament to the power of resilience and the promise of a new beginning. These five were the Pentad of Protectors, united by their mission to defend the world from the forces of darkness. Their greatest challenge came in the form of the Shadow Flock, a sinister group intent on plunging the realms into chaos and despair. The Celestial Birds fought valiantly, but the battle was fierce and unforgiving. One by one, they fell, their spirits lingering in the hopes that one day, successors would rise to continue their legacy. The world was left vulnerable, waiting for the day when the Celestial Birds would return to restore peace and order.

Skin as pale as snow. Lips as red as blood. That's how many describe Fièra Ponze, a 28-year-old call center agent in the BPO industry. Asleep in the morning, awake at night. This has been her routine ever since her life changed. What kind of change? She was once normal. She lived a typical life, bustling with the noise of everyday struggles. Fiera enjoyed sunny afternoons, weekend getaways, and spontaneous coffee dates with friends. But that all ended one fateful night. It was supposed to be an ordinary afternoon shift. After a long day of calls and customer complaints, she walked home under the dim streetlights. Suddenly, an eerie silence filled the air, and a figure emerged from the shadows. Fiera had no time to react. She felt a sharp pain, then a coldness that seeped into her bones. When she woke up, her world had changed. Colors seemed duller, sounds sharper, and an insatiable thirst gnawed at her insides. She discovered her transformation through trial and error, the realization dawning with the dawn she could no longer tolerate. Now, she navigates her nocturnal life, balancing her job while concealing her new identity. She wonders if she’ll ever find a way back to normalcy, or if she’s destined to roam the night forever.

°°Mature content°° An Archer by passion! When she wields her bow, she is a hunter, seeking no good game. A student by profession. When she walks through the university gates, students run away from her, for there is no one like Clary who seeks trouble. One fine night, drunk on potent and fuelled by her rebellious spirit, Clary raised her glass as a toast to the sky and released brazen curses against none other than the King of the Gods himself, Zeus, for his lust over women until she passed out of exhaustion.  The result: thunders and lightning strike in the sky for the entire night!  The next thing Clary knew, she was thrown into the mysterious Zeus university in Nocturnal Heights. The pesky Lord's hands were tied to punish her with his thunderbolt, so he sent her to his abode to torture her. .......... Leandre, a man whose power commanded fear with looks that rivalled Adonis and a body that boasted Spartan Warrior. He was not a man to be trifled with, for no one dared offend him, and no one came close to capturing his attention until he unexpectedly crossed paths with Clary. His first meeting with her was a blast, the second was a disaster, and the third, he doesn't need to describe. He expected no less from the troublemaker. By a twist of fate, he was assigned an important mission to tackle where the notorious trouble seeker was sent to pay for her sins.  A baby is born from a mother's womb with a white coating called Vernix Caseosa, a protective shield that guards the infant. But Leandre came out of the sacred depth of his mother's womb with an extra asset. A golden half-wing. A symbol of his incompleteness, and his heart burned with a fierce desire to find the missing piece that would make him whole. But as he searched, he found himself torn between two paths. Would he bind himself to his destiny and the other half of his wing when he found her? Or would he follow the beat of his own heart, which had already been captured by a certain troublemaker?  ........ When a looming threat has been waiting for Clary in the form of a certain Werewolf called Lycaon, cursed by the divine wrath of the sky God, the chaos will ignite again. Challenges will brew. Wars break down. Will Leandre be able to protect his beloved girl, or will the forces of destiny tear them apart forever? In this spellbinding tale of Clary and Leandre's timeless love saga, their love will be put to the ultimate test. After all, what is a love story without turmoil? ... Holding his gaze steady on Clary, Leandre crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall. ''My dear Clary Sage essential oil_.'' ''Hold up there, Lavender!'' Clary interrupted. ''It's Clary for you_'' ''Lavender again!''  Clary's breath hitched in her throat as Leandre's strong arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close. ''What's my name? Tell me...'' His voice was hoarse and low as he leaned closer, sinking his teeth into her soft lobe. The slow, painless nip sent jitters down her spine. ''Leandre! If you seduce me another time, I swear on the bushy beard of Zeus_ Lightning flashed. Thunder roared from the sky. ''Your frenemy showed up in time,'' Leandre whispered, suppressing his smile upon seeing her frantic eyes. Clary furiously gazed up, her blazing eyes fixed on the sky. ''It's just your beard! Don't you have any work other than poking your nose into my private business?" More thunder in the sky!  .... It is a blend of Greek mythology and the modern world.

For the sake of pleasing her father, Dominixe Cantavalle, an Alpha slayer, has chosen to kill her Alpha mate. She chooses her father's favor to become the most favorable heir of the House of Cantavalle over the love of her mate by betraying and slaughtering his pack members. However, setting aside the pain of losing her beloved mate, Dominixe realizes she has invited herself to a more miserable and despairing state. She is even betrothed to an abhorrent, detestable man arranged by her father. Not only that, she is coerced into sleeping with her fiancé. To think nothing will go worse... until she is poisoned by one of her sisters. Before her last breath, there was one person that tended to her. It is the rogue Alpha who admires her so dearly. However, she cannot remember him as soon as she awakens from when she hasn't met Valerian Leveaux, her fated mate and the Alpha of the Nocturnal Crest pack, who she killed in the past. From that moment, she realizes she has one goal: to seek vengeance on those who hurt her and protect those who care for her.

Cain wakes up like any other day--well I guess it would be night now. He discovers that with the nocturnal life, very few options for food are available. As such, he orders food, follows his daily routine, then takes a nap. Only to find out it was no normal nap, but a transdimensional nap. He wakes up in an unknown world filled with many fantasy like features. However, unlike fantasy games, novels, and tv shows, this is real life. This fact just excites him all the more. Despite feeling scared, worried, or panic. He just feels... free. No longer bound by the rules of the previous world, he can finally chase his dream. His dream that others called absurd and even crazy. But who cares? To him, it was one of the very few things that will always be fun, no matter how much time passes. Boredom is an eternity spent in a second, an eternity he never wants to experience again. Even if it means passing time by mindlessly. Watch the journey of Cain as he explores the unknown, gets kicked out of a few restaurants for eating too much, hibernates (sleeps) for 14 to 24 hours, and wreaks havoc in this new world. No one shall restrict his freedom any longer, and to those who do, he'll annihilate the obstacles and use the people or organizations in ways we can't even begin to imagine. ---------------------------------------------- Cover is made by Koi.
