Shangri La Frontier Sunraku Mask

Sun City, once the heart of the greatest kingdom, burns under the hand of a masked villain. The man behind the silver mask — once known as Jaren — was betrayed by the very empire he served. Now, he brings ruin to the land that cast him aside. As the city falls, young Prince Aron escapes with nothing but his will to survive. Hunted, broken, and alone, he swears to one day tear the Puppet Master’s mask from his face. But in this game of shadows, who is the puppet — and who is the master?

Centuries ago, a deadly mask was born from the depths of a forbidden ritual—crafted by shadows, fed by blood, and sealed with the promise of unimaginable power. Wielded by the legendary Grand Assassin, it turned a man into a monster and cults into corpses. Then… it vanished. Now, in the present day, a young boy hears the chilling tale from his grandfather, staring into the haunting smile of that very same mask—encased in glass, yet somehow… still alive. What begins as a bedtime story becomes a descent into darkness as ancient forces stir and history threatens to repeat itself. Because some masks aren’t just worn… They wear you.

La ex gran figura, Ying Zijin, despertó un día como la hija perdida de la familia Ying, que había estado desaparecida durante quince años. La familia Ying rápidamente adoptó a otro niño para reemplazarla. Al regresar a la familia adinerada, todos se burlaron de ella por no ser tan inteligente, capaz, sensata y elegante como una heredera falsa. Sus padres la consideraban una mancha en la familia y le advirtieron que no albergara ilusiones de ser una dama de la familia. Dijeron que debería estar agradecida por ser una hija adoptiva, o de lo contrario la enviarían lejos. —Me iré entonces —Ying Zijin dijo—. No hace falta que me acompañen. Mientras la familia Ying celebraba jubilosamente y otros esperaban ver a la verdadera heredera hacer el ridículo, figuras influyentes de varios campos tomaron cartas en el asunto. —Señorita Ying, házmelo saber si necesitas algo —dijo el ídolo mejor clasificado con los fans más influyentes. —¿Familia Ying? ¿Qué es eso? Jefe, ¿deberíamos simplemente acabar con ellos? —dijo el heredero de un monopolio económico global. —¿Quién se atreve a molestar a mi maestro? —preguntó el mejor artista marcial del país. —Esa es mi hermana —dijo el genio adolescente con un CI de 228. —Claro, entonces llámame cuñado —dijo un hombre con una apariencia increíblemente seductora sonriendo con pereza y de manera casual. Las figuras influyentes estaban confundidas. Cuando la verdadera identidad de la heredera fue restaurada, causó sensación en Internet. La familia Ying se volvió loca y se arrodilló, llorando y suplicándole que volviera. —Permítanme presentarla. Esta es nuestra verdadera heredera —dijo la familia poderosa internacional. Renacido como rey, haciendo un fuerte regreso y lanzando un contraataque.

"She was supposed to be silent. She chose chaos instead." At thirteen, Lorraine vowed to a boy, “I’ll be your poison. I’ll be your blade in the shadows. I’ll live for you.” The catch? She was supposed to be mute and deaf. The bigger catch? He was a hostage prince with no power. Raised in a household where her father adored her perfect half-sister Elyse, Lorraine was thrown into a political marriage with Prince Leroy. Unfortunately, he liked Elyse too. Of course he did. Lorraine played the role of the forgotten wife, but still gave it all. Loyalty, time, and space. The Silent Crown, they called her. Fitting, really. No one expected anything from her. Especially not betrayal. He came back from the war with a mistress, who was a living shadow of his first love. That was Lorraine’s breaking point. Divorce? Not allowed. Staying? Not an option. So, she gave herself one month. One month before she vanished from Vaeloria, from the life that had chewed her up and smiled while doing it. But before she left? She wanted revenge. On the father who put her through hell. On the sister who took her place. On everyone who hurt her and laughed at her. And continuing with… an affair… with Leroy. Yes, you read that right. Lorraine started a secret affair with her own husband. In the shadows. As someone else. Masked. Daring. Desired. And for the first time in her life, she was powerful. He doesn’t know it’s her. And she doesn’t care to correct him. She’ll ruin him with pleasure. Then leave him with regret. That was the plan. The kingdom has no idea what’s coming. The Silent Crown has stopped waiting to be loved. Now, she wants war. And she’ll watch it all burn from the shadows.

"Can you do it, baby girl?" Drystan purrs in her ear, tattooed fingers digging into her hip, leaving bruises for her to admire later. She nods, incapable of speaking with Alexander's long fingers so deep in her throat. "So pretty," she hears Alexander praise, hazel eyes rising up to meet his forest greens in the kind of reverence that is only reserved for gods. "Will you be a good girl and let us fill you up?" His fingers leave her mouth with a pop, her teary eyes looking back at Drystan pleadingly. "Yes, please," she shakes, fingers clutching Alexander's shirt as Drystan stretches her. "Please, daddy," *

A mysterious young girl, always wearing a white mask, appeared whenever the police were stuck. She solved cases no one could. She never stayed long. She never spoke much.

One by one, the bodies fell. The mask opened and fed on them all, while a nauseating heat spread through his guts. A cascade of notifications appeared: [30 blood points acquired.] [Demonic wolf abilities obtained.] [Mission completed. Progress: 10/4.] [Skill acquired: Night Vision Level 1.] [Skill acquired: Regeneration Level 1.] [Skill acquired: Super Hearing Level 1.] Josuke breathed hard, hands shaking. —Good…— he gasped —At least… I got something… The system updated with a metallic chime: [Mission complete. Congratulations, host. Please review your statistics.] A red floating panel opened, displaying a skill tree full of gray icons and a few pulsing in red. —This is… like a damn videogame— he whispered bitterly. He glanced down to the stats section: Strength: Level 40 Speed: Level 40 Endurance: Level 40 Attack: Level 50 —My attack… ten points higher…— he murmured in a thin voice. The system spoke in a neutral tone: [BLOOD SYSTEM]: You may use the 190 blood points acquired to increase attributes.

Justice died in the war. He came back to dig it up. Presumed dead in World War II, Sergeant Elias Krieg was a ghost—until the world’s corruption dragged him back. Revived by an experimental serum, twisted by violence, and cursed with an undying hunger, he walks the streets of modern New York as a pale wraith in a torn cloak and featureless mask. They call him HeartEater—a brutal, silent vigilante who doesn’t bring criminals to justice. He devours it. Targeting the worst of humanity—murderers, traffickers, predators—he rips out their still-beating hearts and disappears into the night. But beneath the monster is a soldier who once stood for something. He protects children with a quiet tenderness. He offers mercy to the misguided. And he never forgets a promise. As powerful enemies begin to emerge—greedy syndicates, slothful manipulators, and sins made flesh—HeartEater must face the truth: justice alone isn’t enough. The world demands vengeance. And he’s ready to deliver it. Blood will flow. The hearts of monsters will beat no more.
