In a distant future world, where advanced technology overlaps with ancient magic, humans live in cities fortified under the grip of a dictatorial regime known as "integration". This system was formed after the collapse of ancient civilizations, as humans were forced to submit to technology and absolute control in their daily lives. With the progress of time, some dark forces began to appear, including magic creatures and people trying to restore the forces that humans have lost in the past. At the heart of this chaos, the hero of the story appears: "Arian", a poor young man who lives on the outskirts of the city. He grew up in a harsh environment full of injustice and poverty, which is missing memory and does not know his past. One day, he discovered a mysterious stone that gives it uncomplicated super powers, to start a dangers fraught in an attempt to discover his true identity. While Arian begins to discover his capabilities, he also discovers a complex network of betrayals and conspiracies, as a group of individuals and organizations compete to control the power of stone, which may be the key to the return of missing magic or destroy the world itself.

Is it just a tool in the hands of the major powers, or does it have a greater role in determining the fate of humanity? Events continue and conflicts escalate between good and evil, while a decisive moment is approaching, the world may change forever.

"Martial Arts World..." Death murmured, shocked by the turn of the events. How could he, primordial being of the afterlife, get tricked by a mere human?

"Kiernan Hunter..." ... Remake of the Martial Arts System, and while the concept stays the same, the story is completely different. A few names, etc, stays the same, but mostly whole new story. I've wanted to do this for a while, and now I had finally motivation to do it.

A Few Warnings for the Reader: This short novel is written for people who appreciate Japanese anime – a worldwide community numbering in the hundreds of millions. It's important to understand from the start that anime is not just "children's cartoons," as animation is often perceived in places like Europe and the USA. Anime represents a distinct form of animation and a significant cultural force, almost like "super-cinema." It can be incredibly dynamic and explore serious themes. Now, let's be honest, a large portion of anime is… not great. Maybe around 90% could be considered simply "okay" or even, let's say, "trashy." It can be blatant, silly, and not particularly engaging. Many viewers watch one of these less impressive shows and then assume all anime is similar. But that's a mistake! Understand this: by doing that, you're missing out on potentially the most captivating entertainment of your life. That's not an exaggeration – it's a genuine perspective. But the remaining 10%? That's where the true "super-cinema" lies. Good anime is unmatched in its ability to tell emotionally resonant stories and deliver dynamic action. Anime creators are free to push boundaries. Their imaginations delve into the complexities of the human heart, challenging the common "European view" that restricts animation to children. This story(it's not a Fanfiction!) is a tribute to a classic anime called "Fate." Fate is not my personal absolute favorite – there are masterpieces which incredibly hard to surpass. But still, it's a powerful example of the story started as a simple eroge and converted to a deeply emotional cult film.

In the shadows of the ancient Vast Forest, where whispers of power and temptation weave through the trees, two souls—Veer and Zara—find themselves on a journey that will test the limits of desire, control, and the very fabric of their reality. Nestled in the heart of Uttarakhand, Rudrapur is a bustling city where the allure of the affluent Upper Districts, the ambition of the working-class Middle Districts, and the untamed mystique of the Lower Districts collide. At the city's edge, the Vast Forest looms—a place of mystery, legend, and dark enchantment. As tales of strange creatures and supernatural forces swirl in the air, Veer, a young man born into a family of wealth and influence, feels a powerful pull toward the forest's depths. Beneath the surface of his perfect life, something stirs—something that calls him into the darkness. In this world, where power is not only measured in wealth but in manipulation, Veer is about to confront his greatest challenge yet: Zara. Beautiful, enigmatic, and impossibly alluring, Zara is no ordinary human. Her mesmerizing presence hides a deadly secret—she possesses the ability to manipulate emotions and desires with a mere glance or touch. Her seduction is more than physical; it's a dangerous game of control, where every action she takes serves a deeper, more calculated purpose. But Zara is not alone. Her mentor, the mysterious and powerful Seraphina—a humanoid creature with her own agenda—has taught her the art of seduction and manipulation, making Zara a force to be reckoned with. As Veer delves deeper into the secrets of his family, the forest, and his own heart, he becomes entwined in a web of love, lust, and power. Zara, both a guide and a manipulator, leads him through the tangled emotions of their relationship, pushing him to question his own desires and motivations. In a world where every action has consequences, Veer must decide whether to embrace or resist the seductive power Zara holds over him, while navigating the treacherous world of his family’s business, secrets, and betrayals. Amidst the raw beauty of the forest, the intrigue of Rudrapur's elite, and the looming threat of the supernatural, Veer will be forced to make choices that will shape his destiny. Will he succumb to the temptation of power, or will he rise above the manipulative forces pulling at his heart? In this game of seduction and control, every decision matters. And in the battle for power, only the strongest will survive.

Shades of the Unseen is a story about the ones left behind. In every grand tale, some figures exist only in passing-side characters in someone else's narrative, their lives reduced to brief mentions and fleeting appearances. But what happens when the curtain shifts and the spotlight turns to them? This is a novel about those who were once overlooked. The ones who stood on the edges, whose voices were drowned out by larger stories, whose struggles, victories, and quiet moments never had the chance to be seen. Through intertwining lives, fractured pasts, and uncertain futures, Shades of the Unseen brings their stories to light. Some seek closure, others redemption, and some simply wish to be acknowledged. But in a world that moves forward too fast, do the forgotten still have a place? A novel about remembrance, about voices long unheard, and the weight of being unseen.

Brielle is one of the few female hunters at the association. Dealing with useless trainees every six months, she has a low tolerance for bullshit. She no longer believes in love, and nothing will change her mind after what happened to her. She believes that the only thing she can love and trust is her job, where she helps protect the defenceless by killing those who use their abilities to get everything they want. Hunting is a thrill that she enjoys more than life itself. Having a minimalist life, the only thing at home she cherishes is her painting. A vampire that refuses to choose a partner for his sister. Ketan will do anything to protect his loved ones, even kill those that threaten his livelihood. Usually, he is calm, gentle, and collected. He stays hidden away from everyone when he does not want anything to do with individuals until the day he is captured and locked away in a dungeon. After that moment, his life changed for good. Cursing the blood that he drinks, Ketan fights against the pull of drinking more blood from the person that donated the blood. An Excerpt from the book: Brielle throws her arms around Ketan’s neck. “I was so worried about you. I did not know what you were going to do or if you would survive.” Ketan smiled and accepted her hug. “I am sorry for worrying you. I had to do what needed to be done. Besides, I knew that this was going to happen and be as painful as it was.” Brielle starts sobbing in his embrace. “I think that you should take what you need from me, Ketan. You will not be able to stand the bloodlust soon… will you?” Pushing her away before losing control. Ketan moves away from her weakly. “Stay back. I am not in control of myself right now. You should not even be here right now. Leave me alone!” Ketan holds his hand out to stop her from coming closer to him. “I can hear your pulse racing; it’s deafening.” “You were fine a moment ago; now you are you pushing me away, Ketan? I can help you.” Brielle leans down towards him and gently pulls him into her arms. “No, stop. I can’t control myself, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. I am not a sedated beast; I lust for every drop of your sweet blood that I hear pumping through your veins, but I must resist. Otherwise, I will harm you in the worst way possible.” Ketan pushes her back and teleports deeper into the cave. “Stay back before I begin to acquire a taste for your blood. It is a deadly thing to tempt fate once again.” Brielle continues to walk into the deep dark cave towards him. “Ketan, I trust you more than I have trusted others. I know that you will not kill me. Just look at how fearful you are right now.” She finally reaches him again. Crying, Ketan grabs her from behind, sits her in his lap. One arm wrapped around her waist, the other in her hair, pulling off the right exposing her neck. Slowly he lowers his lips to her neck, licking the surface testing the flesh. His fangs rest at the hollow of her neck before carefully breaking the skin. He starts to drink her blood deeply, but as he drank, he slowly stopped and lifted his face up, crying while holding Brielle against his body crying. Blood leaking from the bite marks while some drips down his chin. Her body was being held up by Ketan, and her eyes were now closed. Her body seemed lifeless in his arms. She started to slide forward as a deadweight. Ketan catches her and holds her princess style in his lap, rocking back and forth. Crying fresh tears.
