Face In The Dark

For centuries, they existed alongside humanity—beings with shifting forms, unnatural abilities, and no place to belong. Feared, hunted, and cast into the shadows, they were seen as monsters. Demons. Not because they were, but because it was the only way humans could understand them. When fear turned to control, they were captured. Experimented on. Locked away in labs deep underground, stripped of their names, their identities, their freedom. To the world above, they were nothing more than forgotten myths. But secrets never stay buried forever. Sixteen-year-old Ryu Mikael wasn’t thinking about any of that. He had bigger problems—like the homework he forgot to do. Instead of facing another lecture at school, he decided to ditch, heading into the mountains to get some peace and finally finish his work. Away from the noise. Away from everything. Then he saw him. A stranger. Standing there, still yet tense, his head tilting slightly—watching. There was something unnatural in the way he moved, like a predator studying prey. Then, in an instant, he lunged. And Mikael’s life changed forever.

Born into a kingdom surrounded by enemies, Prince Aradon was destined for war. When he ventured into the Forbidden Forest, he discovered a terrifying secret—the ability to command monstrous creatures from the shadows. With his newfound power, he crushed his enemies and became the most feared ruler in history. Armies fell before him, kingdoms burned, and no one dared challenge his reign. But as his legend grew, so did the darkness within him. When he met Selene Noctara, a mysterious woman with an aura as dark as his own, they ruled together as King and Queen of Shadows. Yet Selene held a secret—one that would bring about the fall of Aradon himself. As centuries passed, his name faded into legend. But whispers remained—that one day, when his bloodline was threatened, the beasts would rise again.

Arashi, a young man marked by a painful past, finds himself at the heart of a world where the laws of reality can be manipulated. Raised in a powerful clan, his life is shattered after a family tragedy. Captured and subjected to unimaginable suffering, Arashi is plunged into a whirlwind of unanswered questions. As his journey unfolds, Arashi begins to uncover powers beyond comprehension, leading him on a quest that will forever change the course of his existence. Enrolled in a silent and mysterious war, he must confront forces far greater than himself, all while trying to understand his own destiny. With unpredictable allies and equally powerful enemies, Arashi will face choices that will force him to reevaluate his humanity and his place in an ever-evolving world

Yang Kai, a disciple at the Jade Mountain Sect, has always been the laughing stock of his sect. Born with weak spiritual roots, he has struggled for years with stagnant cultivation and constant ridicule. An underdog through and through, he’s known for his lack of talent and his hopeless future. But when fate intervenes and a mysterious Face-Slapping System activates within him, everything changes. With the power to earn cultivation points every time he humiliates the arrogant and powerful, Yang Kai’s life is turned upside down. A simple slap leads to an incredible surge of strength, and for the first time in his life, Yang Kai feels the weight of power coursing through him. But the system demands more—more humiliations, more face slaps, more confrontations with the arrogant disciples who have made his life hell. When Yang Kai is framed and expelled after winning a sect tournament, he is forced to go rogue, relying on his new-found abilities and determination to rise from nothing. Along the way, he uncovers an ancient inheritance, an ancient bloodline, and the hidden potential that has always been locked within him. As he enters a high-stakes competition to join an even larger sect, Yang Kai is thrust into a world of power struggles, dark secrets, and betrayals. But with his sarcastic and shameless personality, combined with his growing strength, he’s ready to face anyone—and slap them down. Will Yang Kai’s underdog journey lead him to the top, or will his reckless face-slapping ways get him into more trouble than he can handle?
