"No one in this world can kill us — except each other." Raised together under the same roof yet bound by an ancient curse, Ryu Junseo (류준서), Korea’s youngest chaebol CEO, and Han Areum (한아름), Asia’s top prodigy cardiologist, share a secret no one else knows: they are immortal to the world — but only each other holds the power to end the other's life. On the surface, they pretend to be polite childhood friends to please their loving grandparents, who dream of their marriage. But behind closed doors, they are sworn enemies, scarred by old wounds, unspoken misunderstandings, and the terrifying knowledge that a single moment of weakness could destroy them both. Yet destiny binds them tighter than hate ever could. Both carry divine powers: Junseo can command Areum’s very will with a single word, while Areum alone can shatter Junseo’s immortality. Their hearts beat in secret rhythm — enemies by choice, protectors by fate. When a covert spy mission pulls them into a dangerous conspiracy linked to the curse's ancient origin, buried truths rise to the surface. The only way to break the curse? They must marry willingly and bear a child born of real love — the child who would free them both. But can two hearts poisoned by pride and fear learn to love before it’s too late? And when the moment comes, will they save each other — or destroy everything? --- A story of hatred that hides longing, power that demands sacrifice, and love so fierce it can rewrite destiny. Enemies by heart, partners by fate — until love makes them truly free.

Looking for manga artists DM me on discord (rloxx) This is the first 1 Season of Red Death (Red Death Season 1) RedDeath is a dark fantasy story set in a war-torn world divided into six continents, each ruled by competing kingdoms and fractured by decades of conflict, corruption, and failed alliances. The story follows Ryu, a boy whose life is destroyed when the Solvaris Empire raids his village and kills everyone he knows. Left for dead and thrown into a cursed forest, Ryu survives and begins to change. He doesn’t follow a prophecy. He isn’t chosen. He doesn’t want revenge. He simply moves forward — driven by experience, instinct, and his own way of thinking. Ryu doesn’t play by the roles others expect. He isn’t trying to save the world or destroy it. He’s trying to understand it — and himself. The series explores a wide range of characters with complex motives: exiled warriors,fantasy races, magical beasts, greedy rulers, and clans with ancient bloodlines. Every character is shaped by the world around them, and no one is purely good or evil. The political systems are broken, and every kingdom is fighting for control, survival, or legacy. RedDeath is a story about war, power, trauma, and the choices people make when the world offers them nothing. It doesn’t follow traditional hero arcs. It focuses on cause and effect, psychological pressure, and raw consequence — told through the eyes of someone who refuses to be anything other than himself.

SYSTEM ERROR: Class ‘None’ rejected… Assigning forbidden class: [DEVOURER]. Now, Kaito can absorb the abilities of monsters—and humans. Strength. Speed. Magic. Even memories. But with each skill he devours, something darker stirs inside him. Will he rise as humanity’s savior… or become its worst nightmare?

His life collapsed. His first love left him. His luck vanished. And the world moved on without him. Until one strange night, he encountered a mysterious man and was handed a ring that would quietly alter the course of his fate.

Finn never really got a second chance. Not really. When the gunfire stopped, his life ended in a mess of blood. But then, he wakes up in a world that’s no kinder than the one he left behind, reborn as Ryu Hayato, a half-demon child of a great demonic warlord, caught between ruthless family politics, ancient curses, and a power he barely understands. This new life isn’t a reset. It’s a new beginning drenched in blood. Every step Ryu takes drags him deeper into a war where survival means outsmarting enemies who don’t just want to kill him, but they want to erase him completely. And the system inside him? It’s a strange, unforgiving tool that both saves and condemns him to fates worse than death. Ryu's heroic journey ended a long time ago, now he is forced to become something darker than he had ever imagined, because in this world, mercy is a foreign concept, and only the strongest claim their place and rise to the top.

"Sell your pride. Sign your body. And I’ll make you a star." Kim Jihoon has one goal—to become an actor. He’s got the looks, the talent, and the drive. But in a cutthroat industry run by wolves in silk suits, dreams don’t come true without a price. Especially for someone like him—a hidden Rare omega with powers in a world where second genders are outlawed, controlled, or sold. Desperate to care for his chronically ill little brother, Jihoon agrees to a contract with the cold, magnetic billionaire Kang Ryu—CEO of the country’s most powerful entertainment agency… and a secret Dorminant Alpha with a taste for pretty things he can own. The terms are clear: Jihoon will debut under Ryu’s protection. In return, he’ll live in his penthouse, wear his collar, and warm his bed. No attachments. No freedom. No escape. But Jihoon isn’t the fragile pet Ryu expected—and Ryu isn’t just a predator in a suit. Underneath all the dominance is a man spiraling into obsession, hiding scars even darker than Jihoon’s past. And when heat cycles start to burn, instincts clash, and secrets about their bloodlines awaken, hate turns to hunger, and the rules of the game begin to break. Because Jihoon didn’t just sign away his body—he signed away his fate. His fate which already belong to him;

Ryu Jin was just a regular guy from Earth, until his life suddenly ended. He woke up in the dangerous Murim world, stuck as the bad guy in a martial arts novel he'd read. Even though he was from a powerful family, he was just a stepping stone for the hero. Desperate to change his grim future, Ryu Jin tried to be good. He stopped being arrogant, tried to be friends with the hero, and even formed what he thought were real connections with the story's main girls, including a close friend who seemed to get him. He tried to be the "nice" villain, hoping kindness would save him. He was wrong. The novel's hero, who secretly knew Ryu Jin was meant to be the villain, just pretended to be kind. It was all a trick. In a brutal betrayal that broke Ryu Jin, the hero, with the help of the very girls Ryu Jin tried to protect, brutally killed him. It wasn't about being a hero; it was about power and making sure Ryu Jin could never rise. The pain of their lies, their cruel smiles, and his unfair death burned deep into his soul. But death wasn't the end. Ryu Jin wakes up again, sent back in time to an important moment in his past. This time, there are no false hopes or innocent beliefs. The memory of their cruelty is like a burning mark. And now, a mysterious Villain System appears, promising him power and ways to get back at everyone who hurt him. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Filled with burning anger, knowing what's coming, and powered by his new System, the Murim world's true villain is back. Ryu Jin will carefully ruin the lives of those who celebrated his fall. He'll become incredibly powerful, not by being good, but by being smart, cruel, and strong. The hero, the main girl, and the 'friend' who betrayed him will face a payback far worse than anything a story could imagine. This time, darkness rules, and Ryu Jin isn't being nice anymore.

Decades after the war that sealed the world’s fate against Tyrus, the legendary hero Inavy Stormbreak has become an eternal symbol. Now, a new generation of heroes rises amid the resurgence of an even older threat: Kairon, the Cosmic Emperor — an exiled entity once banished by Yon — returns to impose his vision of absolute balance upon reality, no matter the cost. In this new chapter of the saga, we follow Ryan Valeborn, a seemingly aura-less young man, constantly mocked and rejected, yet harboring a forbidden power within: Reversum, an ability capable of nullifying, reflecting, and reversing cosmic laws. By his side stand Ethan Stormbreak, son of Inavy and heir to the lightning and the legendary bloodline; and Ryu Nox, bearer of the shadowed balance between light and darkness. Together, they face their greatest challenge yet: the Hero Draft, a trial that will unveil the world’s future protectors — and determine who is ready to confront Kairon’s empire. With secrets from the past emerging, betrayals from former allies like Kai Hayashi, and new bonds being forged among the young heroes, Rise of Kairon is a story of legacy, resilience, justice, and the unyielding power of those who refuse to give up.

In a world where power is marked by glowing runes and monsters bleed through the fabric of reality, **Ryu** is nothing—an orphan with no name, no status, and no hope. Beaten down by nobles who wield their divine-given strength like a whip, he survives on scraps and stubborn defiance. But when a black rift—an anomaly unlike any ever recorded—appears in the dead of night, Ryu faces a choice: die a beggar, or risk everything by stepping into the unknown. Inside, he finds a nightmare. Kolasis, a legendary predator, hunts him through a twisted forest. The rules here are simple: kill or be killed. To survive, Ryu must forge himself into something sharper than the claws of monsters and crueler than the nobles who cast him aside. Yet the rift has its own secrets. The same power that could make him a legend might also break him—if the monsters don’t tear him apart first.
