A smile that bled through kingdoms. A dot that hides a fate unknown. --- Some call him a devil. Others remember only the smile—calm, beautiful, and soaked in blood. Lucifer awakens in a quiet border village with fragments of a forgotten past, a bleeding dream, and powers he never asked for. On one arm, a mysterious glowing dot. On the other, a progress bar tied to a name in a language long lost. He doesn’t know what he is. But he knows one thing—he’s not normal. In a world divided by power and ranks, where kings wields power and gods are only myths, Lucifer is drawn to the Academy: the center of civilization, where monsters are raised as champions. His quest is simple: “Academy.” But fate is not. He isn’t here to survive. He’s here to unravel a thread that could tear reality apart. --- Author Notes: Hey everyone, I’m Author Zero. This story isn't just about power levels and flashy academies—though you’ll find plenty of that too. The Devil’s Thread dives deeper into themes of identity, buried memories, dark choices, and the lies we accept to survive. There will be thrill, suspense, subtle worldbuilding, and philosophical layers buried beneath action and charm. Romance might arrive, but it won’t define the story. Think of it like peeling an onion. Except every layer bleeds. This is my first time crafting something like this. If you enjoy dark protagonists, beautiful lies, academy arcs, and the unraveling of something ancient and forbidden—this is for you. Support, votes, and comments fuel the story (and the Devil’s Smile). Thanks for reading. ~ Author Zero

When renowned forensic linguist Aanya Roy is called in to decode a series of mysterious letters written in a forgotten language, she steps into a case that feels eerily familiar. The words are strange, poetic — and somehow seem to echo with fragments of her past. Working alongside the quiet and guarded Inspector Karan Malhotra, Aanya finds herself drawn into a web of hidden codes, buried memories, and secrets that refuse to stay silent. As the investigation deepens, so does her entanglement — not just with the case, but with the man assigned to protect it. But some scripts aren’t meant to be read. And some truths weren’t meant to be found. The Shadows Beneath Us is a gripping and lyrical romance thriller that explores how trauma speaks in silence, how love can unravel in layers, and how the past always leaves something written between the lines.

Aanya Roy, an Indian artist haunted by loss, arrives in Florence with a sketchbook and a name whispered in art circles. She doesn't paint to be seen. She paints because it’s the only way she feels alive. Leonhart Moretti is a billionaire forged by tragedy. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. Women are part of a system: contracts, limits, rules. No emotion. No deviation. Until her. When Aanya uploads a blank canvas as a response to his challenge, it isn't defiance—it's art. It's her refusal to be tamed. Intrigued beyond reason, Leonhart offers her a 90-day contract: complete creative freedom in his studio. But beneath the surface lies another game—one of dominance, surrender, and unraveling control. In a city that worships beauty and secrets, how far can two broken souls go before the lines between art and desire, power and love, are blurred beyond recognition? R18 (Explicit Content) Contains mature themes including psychological tension, erotic content, dominance/submission, and emotional trauma. Reader discretion advised.

It began with silence. Not the kind that crept through rooms late at night, or the kind that blanketed cities before a storm—but a silence that stretched across continents. A pause. A universal hush. Then, all at once, every living person on Earth heard it not through their ears, but deep inside their minds. "A new emperor has been born." The words were clear. Ancient. Powerful. Spoken in no language and yet understood by all. Some froze mid-step. Some wept without knowing why. Others—those with power or knowledge of the unseen—felt a ripple of energy surge through the layers of reality. The message didn’t stop at Earth. It passed through dreams, planes, and dimensions. And somewhere deep beneath layers of forgotten space, ancient things stirred. Beings locked away for centuries shifted in their prisons. Some smiled. Others screamed. Not all of them were sane anymore. Most of these creatures once gods, demons, or monsters had been cast into the crevices of existence. Trapped in what humans now called hells, their forms and minds had twisted over the ages. Once noble or divine, they had become demonic, dangerous, desperate. The message had confirmed what they had long feared and hoped: the imperial line had returned. An emperor had risen. In the deepest chambers of shadow governments and secret orders, alarms were triggered. Hidden organizations the kind that even presidents answered to scrambled into action. They knew what the return of an emperor meant: chaos... or salvation. And somewhere on the slopes of an old mountain, a young man named Philip stood he had just accepted the final legacy He didn’t hear the message. Not like the others. For him, the silence remained. But something within him shifted.

Whisperwood: The Curse Beneath Dark Fantasy • Gothic Mystery • Supernatural Horror Some towns hide secrets. Whisperwood is made of them. When Lyra arrives in the fog-choked town of Whisperwood, she expects to find answers about her missing mentor. What she finds instead is a curse older than the town itself—one that breathes through its people, rewrites their memories, and punishes those who remember. Guided by a quiet man with no past—and no name—Lyra begins peeling back layers of lies. But every truth they uncover changes the town around them. People vanish. Voices shift. History rewrites itself. Even Lyra begins to question what's real... and what the town wants her to forget. Somewhere in the heart of Whisperwood, something ancient is watching. And it remembers her. If she uncovers the truth, it will cost her everything. If she forgets… she becomes one of them.

In a decaying future where reality is held together by ancient, invisible threads, the world relies on a mysterious force known as the Loom to maintain the Laws of existence. Every cycle, thousands are Chosen—dragged into the Vestige Layer, a fragmented nightmare realm where survival unlocks power and the Laws of the universe become weapons. But when Cael Ren, a street-born orphan from the industrial underbelly of New Kaelstrom, is Called, something goes wrong. The Loom tries to erase him. Instead, it fractures. Marked by a cracked crescent sigil and denied a Law, Cael awakens in the Vestige not as a Chosen, but as something unwritten—Threadless. His presence distorts the rules, defies the system, and draws the attention of forgotten horrors that remember a time before the Loom existed. Now, hunted by Lawbound abominations, distrusted by survivors, and stalked by an ancient presence whispering through his blood, Cael must unravel the secrets of his own origin—and the truth behind the so-called “Last Law” that even the gods tried to forget. Because the Loom is failing. And the last thread might be him.

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 .

He became Arthur. He lived his life as Arthur and claimed Excalibur. Now, he has returned with a purpose. Beneath the surface of the world lies a twisted world known as the veil—an dimension where monsters are born from corrupted human emotions and desire. The deeper you go, the more terrifying they become. Each Layer is sealed. Each hides a god-like being, waiting to rise to the surface. Now, Sylas bears the responsibility of keeping the gate between both worlds from breaking. [Keys are passed down through generations.

Birth rates are decreasing. Hope is vanishing. The world has gone gray. Humanity, drifting in quiet collapse, receives an email. Every person on Earth. Simultaneously. The Aegis Mandate. Disguised as a cosmic aptitude test, it triggers The Incident of Separation—a global psychic cataclysm that erases identities, wipes memories, and divides all survivors into three factions: Law, Neutral, and Chaos. Overnight, cities become battlegrounds. Apartments become dungeons. Ordinary people become monsters—or the ones who hunt them. Ragnar Vhagar was just a loner university student. Now, thanks to a system he didn’t ask for, he’s a newly minted Demon King, locked in a crumbling apartment with goblins under his sofa and a glowing soul crystal next to his frozen peas. His new job? Build a deadly domain, defend it from invading “Heroes,” and somehow level up fast enough to not die. Alongside him is Isabelle Thorne, a razor-sharp warrior of few words and one very sharp sword. Their reluctant alliance, born in blood and snark, evolves into trust—and maybe something dangerously close to affection—as they rise together through the layers of the game-like world they’re trapped in. With each conquered domain and defeated boss, Ragnar realizes the truth: the dungeons aren’t meant to crown a winner. They’re meant to break the players. The Law faction wants control. The Chaos faction craves destruction. But Ragnar? He wants something they’re all too afraid to say out loud: Freedom. In the ruins of Kanta’s ogre stronghold, Ragnar and his misfit warband take their biggest step yet—claiming a kingdom, unifying a fractured system, and preparing for what comes next. The Heroes are watching. The gods are stirring. The world is watching a war. And somewhere deep beneath it all... Ragnar is rewriting the rules.

Summer Bellani had everything—wealth, power, beauty, and a love she believed unbreakable. As the cherished daughter of the Bellani family, she lived a golden life in Italy under the adoring gaze of her four influential brothers and a fiancé who once called her his world. But it all shattered the day her father returned with a secret daughter and placed her into their home like an honored guest. That daughter—Ciara—smiled sweetly, spoke gently, and stole everything. Betrayed, isolated, and slowly poisoned to death, Summer died with hate in her heart and blood on her lips. But fate gave her another chance. Now reborn to the time before her destruction, Summer is no longer the naive socialite people remember. With sharp instincts, a deadly calm, and the aid of Sham Sham—a mysterious system bound to her mother’s ancient artifact—Summer sets out not just to reclaim what was hers… but to ruin those who dared strip her of it. Armed with beauty, brains, and her newfound bond with the ruthless stock market and cutthroat business world, she weaves herself into entertainment scandals, backroom boardroom deals, and the darkest layers of power. What she doesn’t expect is him—the paranoid, emotionally-walled male lead who sees through lies but is haunted by his own demons. As their worlds collide in a slow-burning war of obsession and mistrust, Summer realizes that love may not be the weakness it once was... but a weapon. Betrayal was her past. Domination is her future.

[You have become the master of the Warden Mansion.] [Your first quest is to refine mana from one of your maids by having intercourse with her.] [Current Quest: “The Dragon Guardian’s Predicament” – Aid Skytianeus, The Guardian of Dragons, and preserve the fragile balance between humans and dragons.] [Reward: Your mansion gains the power to travel between worlds.] Nineteen-year-old gamer Jett Talon awakens on an emperor‑sized bed to discover he now commands a mansion filled with exquisitely loyal and gorgeous maids. His first bond with Mia—an elegant elf who embodies every fantasy—ignites a storm of mana in his veins, crowning him Ruler of Heavens and Storm and unlocking the mansion’s ever‑deeper layers of magic and dungeon‑like rewards. But pleasure is only the gateway. As the new Warden, Jett must answer the summons of Skytianeus, a three‑millennia‑old dragon whose race faces extinction and open war with humanity. Taking the Guardian’s oath drags Jett into world‑spanning politics, Harbinger‑spawned catastrophes, and system quests that test strategy as fiercely as stamina. Now every passionate encounter grows his power, every awakened maid becomes a battlefield ally, and every choice tips the scales of an impending conflict. Erotica fuels the rise—but destiny demands a storm‑forged lord ready to defend two worlds, or see them both burn.

Threadless When memory doesn’t fade — it rearranges. In a quiet town where nothing ever seems to change, two students — Rin and Aro — begin to notice the seams of reality pulling apart. It starts with a thread. A memory that doesn’t belong. A face seen once in a dream, then recognized in daylight. As familiar places begin to shift — rain that doesn’t fall, mirrors that blink first, classmates that no one remembers enrolling — the two are drawn into something older than their lives: a forgotten architecture of rewritten memories, unfinished stories, and a hidden system that watches back. Together, they begin to unravel the layers of their world, discovering abandoned workshops where time is forged, truth is mined, and forgotten selves echo like song fragments. But the deeper they go, the more the story starts writing itself — and the line between who they are and who they once were begins to blur. Now, with their names etched into a book they haven’t written yet, Rin and Aro must decide: Are they here to remember the past? Or to finish what someone never dared to start?

In a fractured world stitched from silence and ash, strength is power, and forgetting is survival. He doesn’t know what he’s looking for. Not glory. Not vengeance. Just a reason to keep going. He was cast out before he could understand why. Shaped not by rage, but by endurance. And when he enters one of the last awakening academies on Earth — a world untouched by the hidden powers that rule from the shadows — he carries with him no ambition, no faith, only the will to live. But in a reality layered with masks and myths, survival demands more than strength. It demands questions no one dares to ask. Truths no one survives uncovering. Some claw their way to power to protect what they love. Some walk the path for salvation. But what happens to those who were never given a path at all? Because in the end, he may not be the world’s hero… Only its final witness. ------------------------------------------------ First time writing anything, please bare with me

It was just the start. Raen awakens the Abyssal Bonding System, a forbidden power that enables him to make alliances with monsters that no one is willing to tame, after being reborn in the lowest layer of the Abyss.

Amid sweet words and gentle reassurances, Enseria is hailed as a land of brilliance—a sacred realm, admired for its beauty and progress, as if it had stepped out from the reels of a perfect film. From birth to adolescence, every child is shaped beneath the same mold. The adults preach that if all seeds are sown in the same field, and nurtured in the same way, they will grow into strong stalks—ready to be harvested as refined and worthy grain. But those who refuse to conform… begin to harden in silence. Beneath the polished shell of genius and order, at the very base of that perfect pyramid, lie secrets—filthy, repugnant, and buried deep. When these vile truths are unearthed, lead will whisper through the air, laced with the scent of gunpowder, of blood, and tears long stained beneath layers of lies. And now, those seeds of difference, scattered and suppressed, await the one who dares to transform the field into a land—a place where every seed has the right to grow in its own way. *If you read this book and are confused, you are not alone, me too. °^°* (Sorry if some of the grammar is wrong or looks strange. my english is pretty bad ^Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò^) **Note: I haven't posted much ch for weeks.

Kean was born into the strongest village of the 7 Realms—but not as a warrior, not as a prodigy, not as anyone worth remembering. He had no father. His mother fell into a coma when he was just a toddler. Raised by silence and ignored by everyone, Kean grew up invisible. Weak. Forgotten. But inside him slept two things: a devil sealed deep in his soul… and an eye power the world had never seen before. As Kean begins his journey to be noticed, he unlocks layer after layer of a power hidden even from legends. He’s mocked for his strange fighting style, Aura Farming, but it soon becomes a symbol of fear. His fights aren't just physical—they’re emotional, psychological, and personal. Each battle shapes him. He starts to hear the devil within, forming a dangerous bond that both helps and haunts him. Just as he rises to lead the fight against a terrifying Voidborn threat that unites all 7 Realms, he suffers the ultimate loss—his mother dies in front of him. In that moment, Kean unlocks the 5th level of his eye—something no one believed could exist. A power so perfect, it doesn't harm the user. He becomes unstoppable. But after defeating the Voidborn, he learns the painful truth: the Council of Nine, the creators of his village and so-called protectors, were never on his side. They knew everything. His past, his curse, his father’s death. Betrayed and burning with fury, Kean hunts them down—one by one. Brutally. No mercy. No speeches. Just justice. And when the blood settles, Kean does not claim a throne. He creates a new council. A council that stands not on power or fear—but purpose. He names it after the only thing he ever came from. Nothing.

Born under a sky laced with fire, Seraphina Rubienne came into the world with eyes the color of molten ruby — and a silence that unsettled even the proudest nobles. Feared. Watched. Never truly embraced. As the only daughter of the powerful House Rubienne, Seraphina lives behind layers of silks and secrets. Her gaze unearths truths others wish to hide. Her thoughts are never fully her own. And though the whispers of prophecy follow her like a ghost, she remains unaware of the storm quietly blooming inside her. But when a mysterious boy arrives at the gates — a traveler cloaked in grace and crowned with sapphire eyes — something ancient stirs within her. The aching behind her gaze begins to burn. The truth she once hid from now calls her forward. He carries secrets. She carries fire. And neither of them are ready for what will awaken between them. In a world ruled by deception and legacy, Seraphina must walk the delicate line between who she was raised to be… and the power she was born to wield. Because light and shadow are not enemies — They are two halves of the same bloom
