Cryptid

Animal spirits, rare bloodlines, monsters from three realms, and eight families of Astral Conjurers. These are the things that unexpectedly enter Kairav’s life when the young cryptozoologist encounters a mysterious stranger during his expedition to find cryptid animals on a remote island. The stranger’s first words are, “Are you one of the Astral Conjurers?” “My bull spirit saw a unicorn spirit behind you. But that’s strange... didn’t the Pure-Hearted Clan die out hundreds of years ago?” That unexpected statement leaves Kairav shocked. The mention of a unicorn immediately brings back memories of his younger brother’s mysterious disappearance years ago, and of the day he awoke in the woods, face-to-face with a golden-horned unicorn spirit that healed his dying dog. From that moment on, Kairav sets out on a journey to uncover his true identity. His quest takes him from soul-searching in a haunted mountain forest to discovering a mysterious inscription under a step pyramid, one that speaks of Eternal Holy Water. He travels to the eight cardinal directions, solves complex puzzles, and faces mysteries. Author’s Notes: Hello, dear readers!

We, Cryptids is an upcoming internet novel within the "monster hunting" genre. In a world where dangerous Cryptids as well as half human, half cryptid hybrids exist, conflict is sure to emerge. Hybrids and full-blooded monsters who possess supernatural abilities interact in often violent ways, whether it be for the sake of their agendas, or raw predatory instinct. A young man named Holden Cauthwell never knew his mother, and his father very rarely spoke of her. His entire life, he went unaware of his heritage as well as the dormant ability within him. It wasn't until he had a supernatural encounter and was subsequently saved by a mysterious individual that he was subjected to a brand new world. I would also like to mention that in this series, flashbacks and perspective shifts are decently common. The writing is also inspired by monster/demon hunting anime and manga, which does seep into the style at times. Just a heads up in case those aren't your style!

Humanity was on the brink of extinction due to the unexplained appearances of 'Cryptids.' Amidst the chaos of never-ending slaughter, a beacon of hope appeared for humanity, 'Phenomena.' Phenomena are unexplained abilities that were given to half of the people around the globe, though how they emerge are unknown. Despite the different kinds of Phenomena that humanity gained, it still wasn't enough to drive the terrifying Cryptids away from the face of the earth. It's the year 3000. All of the modern civilizations that stood on the ground have collapsed, and many kinds of Cryptids are roaming the land. But, due to a type of Phenomenon called 'Eden's garden,' three cities were formed floating in the sky that gave humanity the chance to rest and develop for the past years. Mechanica, Cybertown, and Gearmany were floating at different locations. Cybertown. A city filled with many people and buildings that even the streets can't fit a car is where Aki, our main protagonist, and his unit, will start their adventure to save the remaining people from a crisis.

The world had always been strange, but cryptids had taken it to a whole new level of bizarre. After a run-in with one of those creatures, I woke up to find out I had become an Esper. Of course, that meant the DPO wasted no time in recruiting me as one of their so-called "special agents." And my power? Oh, just the ability to turn any inanimate object into a cute, female humanoid construct with its own unique abilities. Because of course, in a world where the power scale was beyond broken, the government was rotten to the core, and reality itself had layers I never even knew existed, why not throw that into the mix? Now, as the new guy on the block, I had to figure out how to navigate this mess—before it got me killed.
