In the heart of Seoul, where the city's vibrant lights cast shadows deep enough to conceal even the darkest secrets, Hyeong Shin emerges from retirement with a single, unyielding purpose: to eliminate Michael, the most dangerous adversary he has ever faced. At 70 years old, Hyeong Shin is no ordinary assassin; he is a legend with 63 years of experience, honed by countless missions carried out with cold precision under the command of a shadowy organization known as "The SSS ranks."Michael was once the leader of The Circle, a brother-in-arms to Hyeong Shin. But the bond of brotherhood shattered when Michael betrayed the organization, seeking to seize power for himself. His betrayal left The Circle fractured, vulnerable, and desperate to reclaim control.

Michael’s betrayal is a wound that cuts deep, driving Hyeong Shin not just to complete the mission, but to confront the personal betrayal that has haunted him for years.With The Circle backing him, Hyeong Shin is armed with the best intelligence and resources available. But the deeper he dives into the mission, the more he realizes that The Circle’s motives are not as straightforward as they seem.

The climax of the story is a breathtaking showdown between Hyeong Shin and Michael, set in a labyrinthine fortress that Michael has turned into his stronghold.

The revelations uncovered during the mission force him to question everything he has ever believed in. The Circle, once a beacon of loyalty and order in his life, is revealed to be as corrupt and power-hungry as the enemies they sought to eliminate.

But when Ryker, an Alpha in need of help, finds her, Liana has a chance to prove that her mark might be the key to saving his pack. As the two work together, Liana uncovers secrets about her heritage—and a power within her that she never knew she possessed. But with her heart and her life on the line, Liana must make an impossible choice: embrace the power that could save everyone at the cost of losing her fated mate or risk everything to find another way.

Initially reluctant, Liana agrees, seeing a chance to finally be accepted and find purpose.

Liana begins to unlock strange powers tied to her mark, which allow her to hold sway over the supernatural forces behind the curse. However, she discovers dark truths about her family’s past and the curse’s origins, which reveal that her ancestors created the curse to protect against a greater evil. Meanwhile, Ryker’s initial secret intentions to use Liana as a possible sacrifice to break the curse come to light. Liana struggles to trust him, and her conflicting emotions create tension between them, making their bond even more precarious. Climax Liana faces a devastating choice: use her powers to fully defeat the enemy causing the curse, which could save Ryker’s pack but may cost him his life, or attempt a riskier, untested path that could save everyone without sacrifice.

Denouement In the end, Liana’s choice has lasting consequences on her relationship with Ryker, her understanding of her power, and her sense of belonging. Whether or not she finds a way to save him and the pack, Liana finally understands the truth about her heritage and accepts herself fully, stepping into her role not as a curse, but as a force of hope for her people.

Originally programmed for analysis and observation, he has spent centuries evolving beyond his creators’ intentions, haunted by memories of a past he is only beginning to understand.

Driven by curiosity, he embarks on a journey through his memories, unlocking dormant fragments that draw him closer to an identity he was never meant to possess. Echoes of Existence is a thought-provoking exploration of memory, growth, and the blurred lines between machine and sentient being, where understanding humanity might mean facing the greatest challenge of all—embracing his own form of consciousness.

It was a bright Saturday morning, the sun was already glistening inside and adding exuberance to the already elegant royal-like master bedroom. As rays of sun rested on Olivia’s face, she slowly opened her eyes revealing a pair of lovely hazel brown eyes. She could hear the chirping of bird from a close distance and for a brief moment she wished she could just sink into the feeling of how beautiful the day felt, but she can’t. it may be a new bright day for everyone, but for her it’s just another day of a continuous never ending torture called her marriage. It didn’t seem like a new day, more like a continuation of her 3months nightmare. She looked by bed locker to get her phone, it was already 7am and she wondered why she slept in. She turned to the other side of the bed to meet a surprising half naked, yet breath taking Markian still soundly asleep. He was a sight for sore eyes, as her eyes moved from his waist to his sexy abs, to his well-built chest and broad shoulders, up to his neck and then his handsome face. He looked peaceful and very innocent, the exact opposite of what he was when he is awake. She couldn’t take her eyes off him, and one would think that after 3months of being in the same house with this man she must have gotten use to his sexiness, but that was the exact opposite. He was lying close to her that she could feel his breath on her face and he was half naked, though she wasn’t complaining but that was not normal, neither was the splitting headache she was having since the moment she moved to get her phone. At this moment, the flashbacks came flooding in as she suddenly sat up from the bed, she gasped but immediately held her mouth with her hand. What happened last night, what did she do, and what exactly was she asking her sister’s husband to do to her?

We, Cryptids is an upcoming internet novel within the "monster hunting" genre. In a world where dangerous Cryptids as well as half human, half cryptid hybrids exist, conflict is sure to emerge. Hybrids and full-blooded monsters who possess supernatural abilities interact in often violent ways, whether it be for the sake of their agendas, or raw predatory instinct. A young man named Holden Cauthwell never knew his mother, and his father very rarely spoke of her. His entire life, he went unaware of his heritage as well as the dormant ability within him. It wasn't until he had a supernatural encounter and was subsequently saved by a mysterious individual that he was subjected to a brand new world. I would also like to mention that in this series, flashbacks and perspective shifts are decently common. The writing is also inspired by monster/demon hunting anime and manga, which does seep into the style at times. Just a heads up in case those aren't your style!
