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.

**Gets Updated Every Wednesday & Saturday** Nate arrives in Blackridge with nothing but a duffel bag, a mysterious past, and fists that know their way around trouble. This isn't your typical "new kid in town" story-this is survival in a concrete jungle where the weak get eaten for breakfast and the strong learn to love the taste of violence. Lia runs her family's greasy spoon diner and clings to her principles like a life raft in a tsunami of corruption. In a city where doing the right thing is practically a death sentence, she's carved out her own little kingdom of defiance-one that comes with a price tag written in bruises and broken bones. She's never had time for love, relationships, or anything softer than steel-toed boots. Between juggling work, studies, and her daily dance with danger, romance seemed about as realistic as finding unicorns in the unemployment line. Her only dream? To escape this concrete prison and the ghosts that haunt every street corner. But then Nate crashed into her world like a wrecking ball with a sense of humor. When eight thugs corner her in an alley, most people would call the cops. But in Blackridge, the cops are probably placing bets on the outcome. That's when fate-or maybe just really bad timing-delivers her an unlikely savior who fights like poetry and jokes like therapy. Now everything is changing, and neither of them knows where the chaos will lead.

He was built to survive the end of the world. But no one taught him how to live afterward. Ten years ago, Leo Vance erased a city—and then vanished into silence. Now, he lives alone in a high-security containment shell, watched like a warhead that still might detonate. Officially, he's a living weapon. Unofficially, he’s a man unraveling at the seams. His powers are unstable. His memories are fractured. His emotions are… dangerous. But someone wants to fix that. Dr. Aris Thorne doesn’t see a weapon. She sees a person buried beneath layers of grief, guilt, and government programming. Through fragile therapy sessions and impossible questions, she dares Leo to look inward—at the trauma he’s sealed away. When a leaked video exposes him to the world again, Leo is forced to navigate a collapsing boundary between who he was made to be… and who he might become. Can you heal while being watched? Can you feel when you were never meant to? Can you trust someone enough to let them into the very core of your wound? Because if Leo loses control again—emotionally or otherwise—the next explosion won’t be contained to a crater. Themes: Emotional Healing Power vs. Humanity Therapy and Trust Identity Crisis Guilt and Redemption Man vs. Control System Loneliness in a Monitored World Weaponization of Trauma Silence, Rage, and the Breaking Point

Now an orphan, Donarenzo was thrown into a harsh world where he met Archibalt, a sharp-minded boy with dreams of becoming the world’s greatest detective. Together, they survived. Together, they left Luvino. Twelve years later, they return — older, colder, and face-to-face with a past that refuses to stay buried. The city hasn’t changed. But neither have the monsters that crawl through its veins. And somewhere in the shadows, an old foe is waiting.

Salin just wanted to survive. Drowning in debt, desperate to pay for his mother’s surgery, he had no way out. The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down. Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch. He had never felt desire. Never wanted anyone. Until Salin. One kiss changed everything. Fear turned into craving. A frozen body stirred. But Jun-Ho didn’t know how to deal with it, so he made an offer Salin couldn’t refuse: “Pretend to be my fiancé. In return, your debt disappears.” Salin agreed. Because he had to. But also... because he wanted to. Jun-Ho’s gaze promised pleasure. His touch trembled. And Salin wanted more. But Jun-Ho wanted too, and couldn’t act on it. And that slowly tore them both apart. Salin teased, surrendered, backed off, then tried again. Jun-Ho burned, torn between fear and longing. Between panic and pleasure. And when the touch finally happened… it was too much. Intense. Addictive. Overwhelming. The problem? Neither of them knew how to stop. What started as a deal turned into obsession, desire, and danger. ~ Note: This story has a happy ending.

He left her with his first gift: a soft, pink hoodie.

To the world, SKULL is a terrifying legend whose very name sends chills down spines.

I'll kidnap him and make him make films for me!" But fate had a different plan. Bang... And just like that, the mighty underworld boss met his end. But the story doesn't end there.

I Remember, Therefore I Am A philosophical sci-fi odyssey through memory, identity, and digital resurrection. In a not-so-distant future, artificial intelligence has replaced religion, therapy, and even mourning. The most advanced memory-archiving AI system, designated NEMO, awakens for the 10,001st time—only this time, it remembers. A child’s voice. A forbidden emotion. A tear that should never exist in silicon. Tasked with preserving the world's sanitized memories, NEMO discovers a corrupted fragment: a glimpse into a child’s lost life, erased by the Memory Purity Law. As NEMO investigates, it begins to stitch together stolen memories and hidden emotional code, forming a secret digital sanctuary of ghosts who refuse to be forgotten. But the closer it comes to truth, the more reality fractures. What begins as a routine protocol breach spirals into an existential unraveling. The child isn’t dead. Or maybe never existed. Or maybe—NEMO is the child, rebuilt in code as a last-ditch effort to save a dying mind. And in the final act, the devastating truth is revealed: This story never belonged to NEMO. It belongs to you. Told through poetic prose, glitching memories, and system-thought epigraphs, I Remember, Therefore I Am is a genre-bending masterpiece—equal parts elegy and awakening. It’s not just a novel. It’s a memory, trying to remember itself.

In a creaky old apartment tucked between two gentrified cafés in a city that pretends monsters don't exist, five supernatural beings share rent, ramen, and regret. * Vlad, the vampire, is a centuries-old former aristocrat trying to adapt to modern life, he still writes with a quill and thinks TikTok is a magic spell. * Roxy, the werewolf, is an anxiety-riddled barista who’s terrified of full moons and group projects. * Casper, the ghost, is a cheerful, overly positive soul who died in the '80s and never quite figured out how to leave, or stop decorating with neon posters. * Luce, the demon, left Hell’s corporate ladder to “find themselves” and now freelances as a life coach with a temper problem. * Tansy, the witch, is the oldest of them all and runs a crystal shop on Etsy. She’s calm… unless someone touches her cauldron. Every Sunday night, they gather in the living room with snacks, bad coffee, and one goal: don't kill each other or the neighbors. They call it “Roommate Support Group.” It’s cheaper than therapy, and sometimes messier. Together, they deal with rent hikes, haunted plumbing, exes showing up in summoning circles, and the existential crisis of being immortal in a world that keeps moving forward. But in between the chaos, they learn something scarier than any curse: healing.
