Ashe'S Death

Bleeding Shadows ( Ashes)

In a world where the dead cling to the living through malevolent spirits called *Shades*, 19-year-old **Jin Soel** harbors a cursed gift: he can resurrect the dead, but each act of defiance against death exacts a gruesome toll. A degenerative curse known as **the Rot** consumes his body, crumbling it piece by piece. Torn between desperation and guilt, Jin uses his power to dig up graves, seeking answers about his mother’s mysterious death years ago—and the monstrous Shade she became when he first unknowingly resurrected her. When Jin revives **Min-ah**, a murdered classmate, her soul erupts as a ferocious Shade, forcing him to destroy her corpse again to survive. Bloodied and crumbling, Jin is confronted by **Yuri**, a cryptic woman with one ghostly eye and a vial of temporary salvation. She drags him into the **Hollow Market**—a macabre underworld where the damned trade secrets, memories, and flesh. There, Jin learns Min-ah’s death was no random tragedy but part of a sinister *harvest* to breed powerful Shades. As Jin navigates this shadowy realm with Yuri—whose motives blur the line between ally and manipulator—he uncovers threads linking Min-ah’s murder to his mother’s past. But every resurrection Jin performs to unravel the truth accelerates the Rot, edging him closer to becoming one of the very monsters he hunts. With Shades growing stronger and his body failing, Jin must decide how much of himself he’s willing to lose to protect the living… and outrun the ghost of the mother he doomed to eternal torment. **Dark, visceral, and morally tangled**, *Bleeding Shadows* weaves a tale of cursed power, haunted legacies, and the price of clinging to those already gone. Perfect for fans of *Chainsaw Man*’s existential grit and *The Girl from the Other Side*’s eerie melancholy.

The Monarch’s Ashes

Cassian Vale was a hero—celebrated, trusted, and utterly betrayed. Accused of treason against the empire he once swore to protect, he was sentenced to death by fire, his body reduced to embers before the eyes of thousands. But death does not claim him. Buried beneath the ashes of his own execution, Cassian wakes in a ruined husk of a body, alive but forever burned. The world has moved on, his name whispered only in curses, his memory fading like smoke. Yet, something else lingers within him—a presence, a hunger, a power that should not exist. As he returns to the empire’s capital in search of answers, Cassian uncovers a horrifying truth: he is not the first to suffer this fate. Every emperor before him met the same fiery end, only to vanish without a trace. Their souls, twisted and bound to the empire, whisper to him in the dark, guiding him toward a destiny steeped in blood and ruin. But the deeper he digs, the less human he becomes. His body no longer obeys mortal laws, his reflection moves when he does not, and the world itself seems to bend around his will. He is evolving—but into what? Now, Cassian stands at a crossroads: Unravel the ancient curse binding the empire’s rulers to a fate worse than death. Burn the throne that betrayed him and forge a new path, no matter the cost. Succumb to the monstrous power rising within him and take his place as the true god of the fallen. In a world where history is written in fire and blood, Cassian Vale will either be its final ruler… or its executioner.

A Thousand Death System - The Death Paradigm

For centuries, sixteen castles have acted as seals to otherworldly monster dimensions, preventing their horrors from spilling into reality. When these monsters escape, they manifest as natural disasters—earthquakes, plagues, massacres, and worse. To keep them at bay, elite warriors and raiders with supernatural abilities fight back each time a portal opens. Fifteen castles have accepted the help of governments and organizations, except one—the Kanagawa Castle. The secretive Kanagawa family has always fought "their monsters" alone. But when they unexpectedly call for help, the world listens. Among those chosen to document the event is Kaede, a nobody—an awkward, cowardly school journalist assigned to follow the powerful Sun Jia, a top-tier raider and his long-time crush. But when they enter Kanagawa’s portal, everything goes wrong. Two doors open instead of one—an anomaly. Sun Jia and the team enter what appears to be the safer path. But inside, they face a nightmare beyond comprehension—the domain of Shiniyuku Shinigami, the Dying Death God. Reality collapses. The raiders don’t just die—they feel their deaths transcending time, erased from existence before they can even react. Kaede, the weakest among them, experiences his own death differently—shorter, but far more agonizing. Shiniyuku, intrigued by his insignificance, spares him, mocking his cowardice. Kaede wakes up two years later, the only survivor of the disaster. The world has changed—door hunting is now a global industry, and the Kanagawa family has become more powerful than ever. But something inside him has changed too. A power is growing, something unnatural. Determined to uncover the truth behind Kanagawa, Akihiko’s true intentions, and the identity of the enigmatic Knight X, Kaede embarks on a journey—not as a hero, but as a man seeking redemption. But as he grows stronger, a terrifying truth emerges... Kaede is no longer just a survivor. He is becoming something else entirely. Something that should never exist in reality.
