Corpse Among Us

Whispers of Shikiban:The king walk among us

Reika Kagetsu has known nothing but pain her entire life. Abused by her parents from a young age, she's learned to shut off all emotions. Her heart hardened, Reika never cared for saving anyone—she just wanted a place where she could feel the adrenaline of danger. That's how she finds herself at Tenshiko Academy, an institution shrouded in mystery and filled with brutal training. Here, survival isn’t guaranteed. The tests are unforgiving, and the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. If you fail, if you die—no one comes to save you. Tenshiko is no ordinary academy. It's the breeding ground for the Kageshiki, warriors meant to hunt the terrifying Shikiban. But as Reika pushes through the pain of training, it becomes clear that this academy might be hiding something darker. It’s more than just about hunting monsters—it’s about controlling powers, mastering forbidden techniques, and surviving the test of true strength. Reika never expected to uncover the truth about her own connection to the Shikiban or the power that's been dormant within her. She thought she had entered Tenshiko for the adrenaline, but the truth is far more twisted than she could have imagined. Tenshiko isn’t just a hunter’s training ground—it might be the source of a terrifying new breed of hunter. Will Reika survive, or will she fall victim to the very darkness she’s been trained to fight? The path she walks is one of blood, pain, and the whispers of monsters waiting in the shadows.

But when a carefully orchestrated lie rips them apart, love turns into heartbreak, trust into doubt, and a single moment destroys the years they spent holding on to each other. Now, a year later, fate pulls them back together but the truth remains that everything is still the same. Nick, who vanished without a trace, is suddenly back in Bangkok, but not as the man Arthur once knew. The warmth in his eyes is gone, replaced by a cold distance. The fake engagement Nick entered into was meant to be a shield, a way to escape his own feelings but it was also a blade, one that cut deep into Arthur’s heart. But what Nick doesn’t know is that Arthur never stopped searching for him after knowing the whole truth. And the truth is far more twisted than either of them ever imagined.

By the time they reached university, their love was still strong, real, undeniable, and consuming. They built a life together in the bustling heart of Bangkok, balancing their dreams. Nick, ambitious and disciplined, had his sights set on business success, while Arthur, passionate and expressive, lived for his art. Despite their differences, they found home in each other.

He watched them closely, waiting for a chance to break them apart. And then he struck. A drugged drink. A staged betrayal. A series of incriminating photographs. Nick, blinded by pain and betrayal, believed the worst. Instead of fighting for the truth, he let his hurt consume him. And Arthur was left alone, drowning in the wreckage of a love he thought was unbreakable. Bangkok became a different city without Nick. The apartment they once shared became nothing more than four walls and memories too painful to face. Arthur spiraled, searching for answers, for proof that he had not betrayed the man he loved. But Nick was gone. Disappeared. No calls. No messages. Nothing. Three months later Then came the news that shattered Arthur’s world all over again. Nick had moved on. And not just with anyone, but with an engagement to his best friend Mia. The engagement was a front, a lie that Nick told himself would make things easier and make Arthur feel his pain of betrayal too. But every day, he lived with the weight of what he had done. Because the truth was, despite his anger, despite the pain, Nick had never stopped loving Arthur. He had simply convinced himself that love was not enough. One year later, Arthur has not stopped searching for Nick.

Bell Abyss: The Corpse Falls Chronicle

Title: Abyssal Chimes Genre: Cosmic Folk Horror / Time-Bending Thriller *Synopsis:* In the fog-shrouded valley of Corpse Falls Town, where pagoda trees bleed and construction sites exhale the breath of the dead, antiques dealer Lin Moyu becomes entangled in a temporal curse older than the Ming Dynasty. When a smuggled Bronze Bell covered in corpse wax appears in his shop, its cursed chimes fracture reality, revealing three overlapping timelines: a 15th-century massacre of shaman priests, a modern archaeological expedition’s disappearance, and Lin’s own complicity in a catastrophic urban development project three years prior. As the Bell’s vibrations summon corpse soldiers from limestone caves and warp digital devices into occult artifacts, Lin discovers every victim’s skull sprouts bronze roots connecting to an underground Bone Pagoda. The town’s "residents" are revealed as echoic phantoms—their deaths endlessly reenacted through cursed objects: QR codes that rewrite memories, livestreams broadcast from decaying eyeballs, and concrete mixed with ground funerary coins. Key horrors unfold through fractal revelations: - The Bell’s Sanskrit inscriptions are quantum codes predicting Lin’s own autopsy report - Construction blueprints from 2021 contain hidden blood sacrifice diagrams - Missing archaeologists are found fused with Ming dynasty burial silks, their smartphones playing war drums from 1423 The cosmic truth emerges through temporal bleeding: Corpse Falls Town exists in a "wound" between timelines, sustained by an ouroboros of guilt. Every character is simultaneously victim and perpetrator across centuries—Lin’s father designed the dam that awakened ancient curses, while Lin himself becomes the Ming general who first ordered mass executions to silence the shamans. *Themes:* - Guilt as a self-replicating cosmic force - Technology as modern necromancy (5G towers as spirit poles, cloud storage as soul jars) - Archaeological colonialism’s cyclical violence *Closing Paradox:* In the fractal finale, Lin must let the Bell annihilate all timelines—including his own birth—to break the curse. Yet the final page reveals this manuscript itself is a cursed object, its words rearranging to implicate whoever reads it in the next cycle of atrocities. *Comp Titles:* - *Annihilation* meets *The Ring* in Guillermo del Toro’s *Pan’s Labyrinth* - *Dark (Netflix)* collides with Junji Ito’s *Uzumaki* - *The Southern Reach Trilogy* rewritten as Ming dynasty occult procedural Hook: Every technological artifact you use—from subway QR codes to wireless earbuds—becomes a gateway to ancestral horror in this narrative ouroboros where reading the book implicates you in its curse.

The Path of Corpse Burning

In traditional beliefs, burying a whole corpse is a sign of respect for the deceased, while cremation is considered a great disrespect. Only corpses that have undergone strange transformations or display ominous signs are subjected to burning. The practitioners of this dark art, known as corpse burners, face extreme danger in their trade. Especially at midnight, when one corpse burner works alone in a locked room, if the body turns into a vengeful spirit, the burner is certain to die. Qin He, a corpse burner working at the canal docks of the chaotic Da Li Dynasty, makes a living from this perilous occupation. For him, facing not just the dead, but the unknown threats they might carry, has become routine. His life had been uneventful—until the mysterious “corpse-burning reward” system emerged, turning his world upside down. This reward promised a generous payout for the burning of dangerous corpses, but it also pulled him deeper into a web of peril. As the rewards grow, Qin He’s choices begin to shrink. He becomes bolder, with no fear of the malevolent corpses that might rise again. Slowly, he begins to entwine his fate with ever-greater risks. In each life-or-death situation, he not only battles the dead but struggles with his own inner turmoil. In this turbulent era, Qin He’s destiny is inevitably tied to darkness, death, and the transformed bodies he burns. As he delves deeper into the art of corpse-burning, where will it lead him? Everything hangs in the balance, waiting for him to make his next move.
