Forsaken Children

Cove Bay, Scotland—a place where neither spring nor summer has ever set foot. No sun has ever pierced its ashen skies, only the restless shroud of mist and the fury of sudden tempests. At this desolate edge of the world stands the orphanage of St. Lazarus. The forests that once surrounded it lie dead, the ships have long abandoned these waters, and the nuns whisper prayers in fear of yet more forsaken children appearing at their threshold. In Edinburgh, the pyres are being prepared for a witch trial, and within the orphanage’s cold, stone walls, one girl is whispered to be the very embodiment of evil. Yet the nuns' fears are but the first shadow cast by something far darker, lurking just beyond the veil of mortal sight…

In a world where hunters awaken to incredible power, Azrael is the one man who never should have. His rank? F—the only one in existence. His class? Useless—an Appraiser, good for nothing but identifying loot. His strength? Weaker than a normal person who hasn’t even awakened. For two years, he’s been nothing more than a punching bag, barely scraping by as a dungeon porter. Mocked, ignored, left to bleed—everyone calls him “The World’s Weakest Hunter.” But everything changes when his team stumbles into a Double Dungeon. A sealed chamber filled with stone knights and an ancient, godlike being sitting on a throne. The arrogant hunters who mocked him? Wiped out in an instant. The so-called "strong" are now begging for their lives. And Azrael? He’s the only one who understands the rules. That day, something awakens inside him. Something even he doesn't understand. The world sees him as worthless. They have no idea what’s coming.

His voice was low, almost a growl, but there was a hint of something else beneath — something that made her heart skip a beat. She swallowed hard, her throat dry. The question hung in the air between them, heavy and tangible. "I… I don't know," She finally answered, her voice barely above a whisper. His lips curled into a smirk, a slow, dangerous smile that sent shivers down her spine. "Liar" he murmured, his voice a deep rumble that vibrated through her. "You want this. You want me." She opened her mouth to protest, to deny it, but he didn't give her a chance. His hand shot out, gripping her chin roughly, forcing her to look up at him. "Do you want me to prove it?" He asked, his voice dripping with challenge. ~+~ Tags: #Revenge #Strongfemalelead, #norape, #reincarnation, #Fakeidentity, #EdwardianEra, #VampireRomance #Smut #Supernaturalpowers #magic #darkfantasy #long-distance pining (The main characters are aware of each other's feelings but can't be physically be together yet.

Ryan, a normal office worker who could be considered an extra in a boring world, did his job regularly and spent time here and there. He found himself, by mistake, being killed by a female reaper. Yet, the only thing he received as justice was a chance to transmigrate into a new body with his memories intact. Meanwhile, that female reaper faced a very small punishment: her powers were suppressed for ten minutes, leaving Ryan with nothing but a mocking smirk from the reaper as she ridiculed him for being a meager human with no life that belonged to him. He was left with no choice but to stand in front of the one who had granted such "justice" and watch the reaper laugh while turning to leave the place. In front of him was the reincarnation pool, and beside it stood the woman smirking at his misery while completely powerless for a whole ten minutes—there was no justice for him here. With his hands clenched, he decided that if he was really going down, he would take her with him. Swiftly tackling her, he pushed the reaper and himself directly into the reincarnation pool. The next moment he knew, he found himself being born as a extra disposal substitute of the Ducal Prince, destined to die at the hands of the princess in his stead. Soon enough, he understood that instead of some random world, he had been transmigrated into the last novel he was reading and a fan of—Invincibility Starts with Marriage and Having Lots of Children.

Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape.

A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.
