Hidden Mist Jutsu

The Altar in the Mist

After a bitter divorce, Ellie Brooks moves to the isolated town of Graven with her nine-year-old son, Joey, hoping to start fresh. But their new home, perched on the edge of the mysterious Silent Lake, offers little comfort. The townsfolk are cold and distant, their eyes shadowed by something more than mere suspicion. And then there’s the lake—its misty surface rippling with whispers that only Joey seems to hear. As Ellie struggles to fit into the town, Joey’s behavior grows increasingly strange. He’s drawn to the lake, speaking of a voice in the fog that calls to him, promising answers to questions he cannot yet articulate. Desperate to protect her son, Ellie begins to unravel Graven’s dark history. What she uncovers chills her to the bone: a century-old pact to feed the lake’s insatiable hunger, a cursed altar hidden deep within the mist, and a malevolent force that preys on the town’s fears and guilt. The fog begins to thicken, creeping through the streets and into their lives. The townspeople, terrified of breaking their pact, turn against Ellie and Joey, seeing them as the next sacrifices to the lake. Trapped in a town that has surrendered to its own nightmares, Ellie must confront the horrors of her past and the terrors in the mist to save her son—and herself. But the lake does not give up its prey so easily. "The Altar in the Mist" is a chilling tale of fear, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. Weaving supernatural terror with deeply human emotions, it explores how far we are willing to go to protect the ones we love—and what it costs to confront the monsters both outside and within.

Hidden Authority

SYNOPSIS In the city of Avalon, manipulation isn't just an art, it's a war. Lucian Vale, the world's most elusive manipulator, orchestrates a crisis designed to cripple economies and outplay his greatest rival, Ariadne Wolfe. But when Magnus Cain, a master strategist who doesn't play by the rules, steps in, the board is flipped before Lucian even realizes the game has changed. As alliances crumble and global power shifts, the world's greatest minds race to stay one move ahead, and survival means outthinking the ones who see everything. CONTENT WARNING This novel focuses on the strategic consequences of manipulation rather than explaining manipulation techniques in a way that could be used practically. It explores mind games, deception, and psychological warfare but does not serve as a manual for manipulation. It aligns with many political thriller and espionage novels, which depict power struggles, intelligence misdirection, and strategic deception without directly teaching harmful tactics. The emphasis is on narrative intrigue, character conflicts, and the cascading effects of manipulation in events rather than step-by-step instructions on manipulation. If the concern is about violating certain cultural sensitivities, the story can be framed as a high-stakes intelligence thriller, similar to many intellectual novels or dramas, without promoting unethical behavior.

Veil of the Hidden Path

In a sprawling city named Cenith, an ancient secret society controls the fate of the world from the shadows. The city exists between two realms: the mortal world, full of ordinary lives, and the veiled supernatural world, where powerful entities, unknown to the public, operate. These hidden beings shape history and can manipulate fate, time, and even memories. The existence of the Veil — a barrier between the two worlds — is a carefully guarded secret. Our protagonist, Erith Vale, is a skilled but cynical detective who once worked as a top investigator for the City Watch, uncovering hidden crimes and solving mysteries of the supernatural. He lost his wife and child under mysterious circumstances, a tragedy that pushed him into isolation. However, his pursuit of the truth leads him back to the city, where strange occurrences and new murders with unexplainable features draw him into a dangerous world. Erith soon discovers that the murder victims were once members of the Veiled Order, a forgotten organization with the ability to see and interact with beings from the supernatural realm. Their death marks the beginning of an unraveling mystery that could potentially tear apart the Veil, allowing the supernatural to fully invade the human world. Erith is pulled into a web of secrets, where every answer only leads to more questions. He has to uncover the truth behind the Veil, confront his own dark past, and survive long enough to stop the calamity from consuming both realms.
