O sei vittima o carnefice. Per il mondo, o sei bianco, o sei nero. Resta a te la scelta. Ma, tutti si macchiano. Chi col sangue e chi col senso di colpa. Veniamo costruiti da pensieri, azioni, verità e bugie. Quale tra queste è riconducibile alla vera realtà di noi stessi? Ogni vita ha il proprio peso ed ogni errore ha la sua conseguenza. Solo obbligandoti ad affrontare la realtà puoi andare avanti. E se non lo fai tu, tocca farlo ad un giudice. Quando ti ritrovi in un posto dove ciò che hai fatto ti viene messo su un tavolo non puoi nasconderti dietro alla negazione. Bisogna affrontare ciò che rimane. Ovvero te stesso, il freddo e la polvere di una cella. Fra vendette, bugie, verità, finzione, giustizia, sbarre, sbagli, colpe, manipolazioni, violenze, ideologie e segreti, tutto condurrà ad un'unica realtà dei fatti. Angeli dannati in cerca di emozioni e demoni disperati in cerca di pace. Lei, vittima del pericolo. Lui, vittima del crimine. ©copyright,tutti i diritti riservati

“Time doesn’t just pass. Sometimes… it waits. Watches. Repeats. Consumes.” Elias Rehn is a clockmaker in the fog-choked alleys of an unnamed city lost between Victorian London and ancient Kyoto. Quiet, solitary, and methodical—he lives a predictable life marked by one strange pattern: He always wakes at 4:44 AM. Every. Single. Day. No alarm. No reason. No escape. But on the forty-fourth morning, his reflection blinks half a second too late. And whispers: “I’m you. From tomorrow.” Suddenly, Elias finds himself pulled into an endless loop of fractured time, cursed mirrors, and split identities across paradox-bound timelines. In one life, he is a guilt-ridden clockmaker. In another, a silent shinobi from a forgotten dynasty. Elsewhere, a war historian who catalogues futures that never happened. And in the deepest layer—a child who remembers everything, but has no mouth to scream. Each version of himself leaves breadcrumbs behind—echoes of déjà vu, sleep paralysis, suicidal dreams, and whispers in glass. But as the loops spiral out of control, Elias begins to understand: He was never a man stuck in time. He was Time's anomaly—the glitch in a system older than reality. And something ancient, something not human, is trying to overwrite him. The more he remembers, the less real the world becomes. And the closer he gets to the truth… …the more he forgets who he ever was. “You don’t escape the mirror by breaking it. You escape by becoming what it reflects.”

I am the youngest son of the Jaegal clan’s leader — and a failure. At twelve, they discovered I suffered from an incurable condition: I couldn’t cultivate or manipulate formations. To my family, that was the same as being dead. Without honor or future, I was sent to a place no one took seriously: the Low Mist Sect — a handful of forgotten monks in the mountains, with no warriors, no reputation, no power. The only thing they cultivate is silence. Mocked as cowards and laughed at by the entire murim world, they never raise swords — but they know exactly where swords will fall. And it was there, among shadows and silence… that I began to see the world as it truly is.

Après la mort de son père bien-aimé, il s’enfuit. Il choisit son propre destin : protéger les siens, unifier les clans, et briser le cycle de la guerre. Traqué par les autorités, confronté aux esprits, aux porteurs rivaux et aux trahisons, Kali devra apprendre à maîtriser sa rune… avant qu’elle ne le consume.

In a world where every being is born with a personal system interface, strength is not a gift — it is cultivated, absorbed, stolen, or earned through death. This fractured world is divided into countless realms of power, where humans, demi-humans, elves, dragons, devils, demons, celestials, and even gods compete, ascend, or fall. The Dark Flame bloodline once stood at the peak of this world — a cursed lineage born with the ability to consume elements, powers, and even fate itself. Fearing the rise of the prophesied “Shadow Reaper,” the celestial order destroys the last of the Dark Flame family. But in their final moments, Lord Azrael and Lady Seraphina split their newborn twins to protect them — the boy, Kael, is cast into the lowest realm, his memories sealed and bloodline hidden beneath an ancient locket. His twin sister, Lyra, is raised unknowingly within the very celestial towers that ordered their family’s execution. As Kael grows up in hardship, hunted by monsters and raised by mortals, his dormant power begins to awaken — granting him a path of limitless devouring and mastery over all weapons, especially his destined scythe. With the mysterious support of Selene Frost, a ruthless, cold-hearted girl who becomes both his partner and soulmate, Kael begins the climb through realms — one monster core, one battle, one bloodline at a time. Legacy of the Shadow Reaper is a slow-paced, character-driven epic told through multiple POVs, combining deep lore, evolving system mechanics, layered relationships, and a carefully planned rise from the bottom to challenge gods. At its heart, it is a story of revenge, lost family, and the weight of destiny .

Kael was the Angel of Death. Not the most radiant. Not the most exalted. But the most absolute. He had no will. No desire. And thus....Nothing could stand against him. Nothing could defy him. When the world reached its end, Kael remained. Silent. Unshaken. Even Heaven and Hell no longer knew what to do with him. And when the cosmos prepared to vanish into eternal silence… He was reborn.... as a human. Now, the one who once marked the end of all things must learn to become a beginning. But this world is not ready to receive... what he once carried.

Our MC, Gun, had a simple but happy life — a loving mom, a loyal best friend named Reon, and peaceful school days. But everything changed in an instant. His best friend Reon jumped from the school building… because of him. His mother? Kidnapped. And the people behind it all? Too powerful for Gun to even touch. Left completely alone, Gun burned with the desire for revenge — but he had no power, no support, and no hope. Then, one night, something strange happened. A mysterious object crashed in North Korea, wiping out the entire region… And at the same time, Gun awakened a system. But it wasn’t some overpowered cheat. [Observer System] — it could only see other people’s stats. That’s it. No skills. No strength. Just information. Can Gun really take revenge… With the most useless system ever?

When empires fall, legends rise from the ashes. Vaelorian Empire, the shining jewel of the continent, has fallen, not to armies or kings, but to something far older and far more terrifying: a failed experiment from a forgotten era, now reborn as 'The Destroyer'. Elira, a survivor of the catastrophe with her small group of knights finds themselves alone in a world tearing at its seams. Kael, a masked commander of a small army consisting of only the most loyal soldiers, holds the key to stopping the oncoming darkness, but his past is a secret buried beneath scars and silence. As war erupts, power shifts, and ancient enemies awaken, the paths of three extraordinary souls collide: A survivor of the destruction. A soldier born from broken science. A traitor who may become the world's last hope. But in a world built on secrets, no alliance is safe. And as the sky darkens, the line between hero and villain begins to blur. Epic in scope and intimate in emotion, The War Criminal's Crown is the first chapter in a tale of rebellion, redemption, and the price of forgotten knowledge.

The Stone Emperor, freed from his stony slumber, marched north with Kael’s dagger in hand, his veins burning with vengeance. Along the way, he forged uneasy alliances—a rogue Vein-Touched scholar, a witch bound to the old gods, and a scarred mercenary with a grudge. Together, they carved a bloody path toward the Black Spire, where the noblewoman, now a writhing abomination of flesh and shadow, awaited. In their final battle, the Emperor unleashed Crimson Blood Genesis, drowning her in a storm of molten ruby. Her last scream faded as her body dissolved—not into death, but into something worse. The dagger pulsed. Hungry.

Whoever said “you only live once” seriously deserves to be slapped… with a chair. Because that’s absolute bullshit. I would know—I died, after all. And instead of the eternal rest I was hoping for, I got yeeted into a fantasy world packed with oddball characters and multiple pantheons co-existing like it’s some cosmic sitcom. Oh, and did I mention I was handed a never-before-recorded bloodline and a Revered Gear… in the form of a scythe? Yeah. This sucks. Seriously, how is a lesbian, fallen angel vampire supposed to survive in a world that either wants to kill me… or sleep with me? My name’s Poppy. Read my misadventures as I stumble through different worlds, just trying to survive. **** Updates will be on Wednesday, Saturdays, and Sundays till further notice
