Craig Of The Creek Monster In The Garden

Crown of Ruins/Garden of the Exiles

//chapters almost every Thursday// Evan Solene’s arrival at the Veiled Academy is supposed to mark the beginning of his prestigious education in the magical arts. But instead, it quickly becomes a descent into a world of secrets, power struggles, and forbidden magic. Beneath the academy's prestigious reputation lies a hidden truth: its true purpose is far more sinister than anyone knows. In the midst of this shadowy realm, Evan finds himself drawn to Selene Arkwright, a mysterious and compelling student with a lineage that connects her to the academy’s darkest history. As their bond grows, Evan discovers Selene’s crucial role in a centuries-old conflict that threatens to tear the academy—and the magical world—apart. The more Evan uncovers about the academy’s true purpose, the more he realizes that his arrival is no accident. The academy isn't just a place of learning; it's a breeding ground for the next generation of dark mages, and the students are nothing more than pawns in a deadly game. With powerful forces aligned against them, Evan and Selene must navigate a web of lies, betrayal, and temptation that threatens not only their love but their very lives. At the heart of this treacherous institution stands Mira Solene, a teacher with a brutal reputation, who harbors her own dark ambitions. As Evan and Selene uncover Mira's role in the academy’s corrupt leadership, they must decide how far they’re willing to go to expose the truth and free themselves from the academy’s deadly grip.

I Am Not The Only Monster In This Story

MONSTORY is a dark, character-driven dystopian fantasy set in a fractured future Seattle, where Alucards, winged beings bred in captivity, have never known freedom. Engineered for labor, silenced by law, and bound by control collars, they serve without rights, their wings bound and identities erased. Igor, once a slave in a coal mine and now a servant in the estate of a powerful human family, survives by suppressing who he truly is. But as fragments of memory return and his conditioning begins to fail, the cracks in his obedience widen. Haunted by a name he wasn’t allowed to keep, and a violence he was trained to deliver, Igor teeters between the roles of monster and man. As old power structures begin to fracture, MONSTORY explores the cost of survival in a world built on inherited cruelty. With themes of captivity, trauma, rebellion, and the aching need to be seen as human, this is a story about one enslaved Alucard's quiet war for autonomy, and the fire that might burn everything down to get it. What to Expect: - A brainwashed vampire-like weapon who might kill you... Or just spiral into an identity crisis first. - Mind games, manipulation, and memory wipes, because therapy is illegal and cults are trendy. - Slow-burn character drama where trauma is the main currency and no one gets out clean. - Rebellion run by morally bankrupt idealists. You’ll root for them. You’ll regret it. - Found family, lost family, broken family, pick your flavor of pain. - Beautiful prose with teeth. Think poetry, but it bites back. - A dark, tangled web of secrets that punishes you for trusting anyone, including the narrator. - Emotional devastation with the occasional flash of tenderness, like a knife glinting in moonlight. What Not to Expect: - OP wish-fulfillment MCs who level up by chapter 3. This isn’t that kind of grind. - A harem. Unless you count trauma bonding with your enemies. - Quirky comic relief characters. We have one guy who tells jokes. He’s not okay. - Morality that’s easy to swallow. It’s more like choking on holy water. - Fluffy romance. It’s complicated, possibly cursed, and not approved by HR. - Adults who fix things. The adults are the problem.

Monster Genesis

Lin Han was once a humble game designer, responsible for crafting a sprawling online game centered around civilization development. The game’s core concept was simple yet ambitious: each player assumes the role of a god-like creator, starting with a lone planet to nurture and evolve civilizations from the ground up. One day, in a bizarre twist of fate, Lin Han finds himself mysteriously transported into the very world he designed—a living, breathing universe governed by the rules he once wrote. But instead of following the traditional path of slow, steady evolution like most players, Lin Han chooses an unorthodox and wild strategy: he decides to develop a monster civilization. While other players painstakingly cultivate primitive cells, Lin Han’s creation rapidly evolves through parasitism, devouring its own kind to trigger extreme mutations. It spreads like wildfire, infecting entire oceans and causing a mass mutation of marine life. As his monstrous creation gains intelligence and begins to understand civilization itself, Lin Han reaps massive rewards, earning tens of thousands of Authority Points — the currency of power in this universe. His creation doesn’t stop there; it ruthlessly conquers ten other players’ planets, accumulating even more power and establishing dominance over an entire star system. When reporters ask how he plans to manage the ten civilizations under his control, Lin Han delivers a chilling response: “I will turn them all into monster civilizations.” His declaration shocks the galaxy, heralding a new era where monstrous evolution threatens to upend the very foundations of civilization.
