Sortir la nuit dans ce monde, c’est s'assurer une mort sanglante ! Une ère de paix et de prospérité régnait sur la Terre, jusqu'à ce qu'un évènement macabre vienne tout bouleverser. Cette nuit tragique était marquée par la métamorphose de la Lune en un globe oculaire géant. Ceux qui avaient le malheur de lever les yeux vers ce dernier déclenchaient l'apparition des Kalamités, des monstruosités ayant pour seule volonté d’anéantir l’espèce humaine. Heureusement, le carnage prenait fin quand l’Œil Rouge se couchait. Dès lors, les Kalamités se volatilisaient, laissant derrière eux la mort, le feu et le sang. Puis le cycle morbide reprenait la nuit suivante. Mais le soir où l’Œil Rouge avait fait sa première apparition était également le jour où environ une personne sur cinq contractait des capacités surnaturelles. Et certains de ces Choisis détenaient en eux le pouvoir de neutraliser ces nouveaux prédateurs nocturnes. Alors, dans l'espoir d’en venir à bout, les gouvernements mirent en place des unités rassemblant les Choisis les plus puissants de la planète. Ainsi fut créé l'ordre des Chasseurs de Kalamités, l'ultime réponse de l'Humanité pour s'opposer à la tragédie qui menace son existence ! Un adolescent répondant au nom de Muden va être impliqué dans cette lutte acharnée. Aujourd’hui il est animé par un unique objectif : percer les mystères des Kalamités afin de les éradiquer une bonne fois pour toutes ! ⚠️Avertissement : cette histoire contient des scènes qui peuvent choquer les plus sensibles.⚠️

In a realm of mortals, a monster stirred into existence. Initially adrift in purpose, the creature resolved to guard its progenitors, the girl who came before, he intended to defend and protect all of them. As times unfolded, the monster adeptly concealed itself behind the visage of a mortal, humanoid in nature, he easily donned the guise, the mask of a human being. Yet, fear not, for the tale did not conclude there. A young man's agonized wail pierced the nocturnal silence, a lament for all he lost, for all he wished to protect, challenging the heavenly realms and defying the very essence of existence. In his rebellion, the world recoiled, deeming him unworthy of breath, a rejection that ushered his drowning into oblivion. Amidst the struggle for survival, an otherworldly entity took notice. "Perhaps…? Let's test the fortitude of his will!" As the youth teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, a voice resonated in his mind. [Notice: Legendary Skill Reincarnation Acquired!] [Reincarnation has been activated!] ... In a cosmos where gods, devils, humans, myths, and dreams converge into reality, the monster finds rebirth. Yet, navigating this new existence proved arduous, for the world demanded a toll for every breath he took and every moment of joy in it. And such a toll… it will be paid with his life once more. Will the human-masked monster triumph… Or will he fall just like a hundred times before? Let me see an end to it, but now… will you join me, Mortal!? ----------------------------------- Chapter Length: 1700-2400 words. The Mc is a kind of psychopath who wore a mask throughout his life, but I would not easily condemn him as neither good nor evil. (And before you ask. Yes, the MC is kind of a yandere as well.) There will be a harem, but much later or until I start liking another girl character. There is some dark stuff, be it burning flesh, dissecting, blood, extreme agony... Or whatever else, I just want to say if you don't like it be prepared that they are not uncommon here since the MC will show the monster everyone told him to be. A question that arose... When does someone become a monster, do you know? I don't know the specifics either, let's find out... That's it have a nice read, my fellow humans. ;)

Mare: The mare does not refer to a female horse but to the mara demon who sits on a person’s chest and terrorizes them in their sleep. According to old Norse folklore, a Mara was an evil nocturnal demon of terror. The Night-hag or “riding witch” are other names for the Nightmare. Our story is about 4 Special Operations soldiers under the disbanded force MARE who decide to abandon their homeland of Chrome and defect to the neighboring country of Gasia with their former Captain and 5 other teams to protect the young princess from the hostile forces working in the shadows against her. However, even those who lurk in the shadows need sleep. And when they do, the true terrors of the night the Mares emerge.

"To ascend unto the pantheon, one must claim the visage of a deity who yet lingers upon this earth." As the doom of Avaricia's continent looms with the inexorable tread of a nocturnal specter, a youth of divine lineage, heretofore lamenting a life of sorrow, rises to the challenge of destiny's call. This lad, a demi-god among mortals, amasses an assembly of his ilk, each burdened with a spark of the celestial within their earthly frames. They embark upon a quest most perilous, a final stand against the encroaching shadows that threaten to engulf the four realms of existence. Guided by an audacious scheme, fraught with the very essence of impossibility, they aim to safeguard not only the present, but to ensure a continuance of days to come. Their intent, as daring as it is profane, is to usurp the thrones of those gods who have forsaken their dominion. Yet, such endeavors are not lightly undertaken. For to wrest the scepter from the grip of an immortal sovereignty is a feat that would daunt the stoutest of hearts. "If the Pantheon has turned a blind eye to the realms," the young hero declares with the fiery conviction of one who has glimpsed the abyss, "then perhaps 'tis time for a new order to assume their mantle." Away with the ancients, and hail the new! The nascent deities of Avaricia shall rise, a pantheon reborn in the crucible of fate. The very fabric of the cosmos trembles at their approach. These... 'New Gods of Avaricia'... shall they be heralded as saviors, or condemned as usurpers? Only the inscrutable dance of destiny shall reveal the truth beneath the veil of night.

What kinds of secrets can a fleeing god hide from the all-knowing eyes of heaven, and from a woman who promises she is not more than she appears to be?

In the beginning, when the world was still young and the skies were untamed, there existed a legend known to only a few. It was the tale of the 5 Birds, celestial beings created to safeguard the realms and maintain the balance of nature. These five majestic creatures were revered and feared, their power unmatched and their wisdom boundless. • Divine Owl Sagea, soared above the highest peaks, her golden wings casting a protective shadow over the lands below. She embodied courage and strength, always the first to confront any threat to their world. She was the leader of the 5 celestial birds. • Nocturne, the Raven of Secrets, dwelled in the shadows, his black feathers blending with the night. Keeper of ancient knowledge and hidden truths, he was a master of dark magic, using his powers to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. • Zephyra, the Falcon of Speed, raced with the wind, her silver feathers shimmering in the sunlight. She was swift and agile, a messenger of the gods and a symbol of freedom, her presence a harbinger of hope. • Seraphina, the Swan of Serenity, glided gracefully over tranquil waters, her pure white feathers reflecting her inner peace. She brought harmony and healing, soothing the hearts of those in turmoil and restoring balance to the land. • Pyra, the Phoenix of Rebirth, burned with an eternal flame, his fiery plumage a beacon of renewal and transformation. From the ashes of destruction, he rose again and again, a testament to the power of resilience and the promise of a new beginning. These five were the Pentad of Protectors, united by their mission to defend the world from the forces of darkness. Their greatest challenge came in the form of the Shadow Flock, a sinister group intent on plunging the realms into chaos and despair. The Celestial Birds fought valiantly, but the battle was fierce and unforgiving. One by one, they fell, their spirits lingering in the hopes that one day, successors would rise to continue their legacy. The world was left vulnerable, waiting for the day when the Celestial Birds would return to restore peace and order.

Skin as pale as snow. Lips as red as blood. That's how many describe Fièra Ponze, a 28-year-old call center agent in the BPO industry. Asleep in the morning, awake at night. This has been her routine ever since her life changed. What kind of change? She was once normal. She lived a typical life, bustling with the noise of everyday struggles. Fiera enjoyed sunny afternoons, weekend getaways, and spontaneous coffee dates with friends. But that all ended one fateful night. It was supposed to be an ordinary afternoon shift. After a long day of calls and customer complaints, she walked home under the dim streetlights. Suddenly, an eerie silence filled the air, and a figure emerged from the shadows. Fiera had no time to react. She felt a sharp pain, then a coldness that seeped into her bones. When she woke up, her world had changed. Colors seemed duller, sounds sharper, and an insatiable thirst gnawed at her insides. She discovered her transformation through trial and error, the realization dawning with the dawn she could no longer tolerate. Now, she navigates her nocturnal life, balancing her job while concealing her new identity. She wonders if she’ll ever find a way back to normalcy, or if she’s destined to roam the night forever.
