Expurgation Reimagined

Inferno's path: The Fire Elementals Awakening

Mark Hood was a man who had it all—a thriving career, influence, and a life of luxury. But one fateful act of heroism ended it all. Dying in a burning building while trying to save imaginary lives, Mark's story should have ended there. Instead, he wakes up in an unfamiliar, fiery wasteland, reborn as a being made entirely of flames: a fire elemental. Stripped of his humanity—his status, his body, and even his identity—Mark is thrust into a harsh world where survival depends on strength and cunning. Faced with dangers from mythical creatures and the looming threat of "players" hunting for power, Mark must navigate this perilous existence while embracing his fiery new abilities. With a sharp tongue, an unrelenting spirit, and a questionable moral compass, Mark vows not to be anyone’s easy prey. As Mark unravels the mysteries of his rebirth, he discovers that even a lowly "NPC" can rewrite their destiny. With every challenge, he grows stronger, smarter, and more dangerous. But can he overcome the forces determined to exploit or destroy him? Or will his newfound spark be extinguished before it ignites into an inferno? Author's Note This is a reimagining of my story, rewritten to address the inconsistencies in its earlier version. As an author committed to improvement, I've worked to create a richer world, a more cohesive narrative, and a deeper connection with Mark's journey. Thank you for joining me on this fiery adventure—your support means everything as I continue to evolve as a writer!

Tomodachi

In Tomodachi, Motosaki Izuna, an 18-year-old American-Japanese military child, transfers to the prestigious Matsugaya High in Japan, eager to reconnect with his roots and finish his final year of high school. Little does he know, his arrival coincides with the onset of a sinister curse—the Tomodachi Curse—an ancient evil that thrives on the bonds of friendship. As Motosaki reunites with his childhood best friend, Aisha Ayami, he quickly forms close ties with Aisha and her four friends: the shy but insightful Rebecca Haruna, the fiery and competitive Emma Chisaka, the serene yet fragile Otsuki Nagagami, and the proud, wealthy Naomi Suzuki. While the group enjoys their time together, a hidden darkness looms. The Tomodachi, a vengeful yokai spirit, preys on the girls’ relationships, driving them to betray one another in a twisted quest for love. Motosaki soon discovers that he is entangled in a deadly game: to break the curse, he must identify the true Tomodachi before the Matsugaya Festival on December 20th. Each wrong choice results in the brutal erasure of a girl from existence, leaving Motosaki in a cycle of despair as he is repeatedly thrust back in time with no memory of the girls he lost. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Motosaki confronts the chilling nature of the Tomodachi Curse and the darkness it brings out in his friends. With each iteration, he grows more determined to save them, piecing together clues and forming new bonds while battling the mounting psychological terror. However, as the curse intensifies, the Tomodachi becomes bolder, taunting Motosaki with haunting memories and manipulating his perceptions of friendship and love. In a desperate bid to save his friends and end the torment once and for all, Motosaki must navigate a treacherous path filled with heartbreak and sacrifice. As the festival approaches, he faces a harrowing choice: risk losing everything by confronting the Tomodachi directly or accept his own tragic fate in an effort to secure a happier ending for those he loves. -------------- To all who know what my novel Shokyo is, this is a reimagined version of my first horror/thriller story, Shokyo! I hope you enjoy this spooky book for the up coming spooky season!

Demon King's Return: A Broken World

In an era where legends shaped kingdoms, the Demon King was vanquished by deceitful heroes and banished for five centuries. Yet, in the shadows of his defeat, he plotted a dark return. Through forbidden magic, he clawed back to life, awakening in a world that defied everything he knew. Five centuries have transformed the realm. Once fierce battlefields are now reimagined, and society's roles have flipped. Men, once warriors, now live in subjugation, while women rise as dominant powers. The very fabric of strength and vulnerability is inverted, challenging the Demon King's understanding of power. As he steps into this unfamiliar world, an eerie energy fills the air. With vengeance burning in his heart, he must navigate this perplexing new order. Strange forces shape the land, and the realm he once sought to dominate is now ruled by those he underestimated. In this twisted landscape of loyalty and betrayal, who truly controls the fate of the realm, the resurrected Demon King or the women who now wield the power he covets? The battle for dominance begins anew, and the answers lie in a world turned on its head. Can he reclaim his throne, or will he be undone by the very forces he seeks to conquer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Content Warning: This is a fantasy story with strong adult themes. Whether in terms of sexuality or otherwise, this story will push boundaries in various ways. The protagonist, the Demon King, is by no means a hero of justice. If you were expecting a story where the hero of justice shines brightly, I must apologize. However, the story won't be overly heavy; it will proceed lightly, bit by bit. Your thoughts and corrections are welcome. Since this is my first novel, there might be instances where I unintentionally violate rules regarding content and language. If that happens, I appreciate your firm feedback. In addition, I plan to post illustrations and images along with the chapters occasionally. Please enjoy with a light heart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tags: Evil, Dangerous Main Character, Weak MC, Smart MC
