Try as he might, he could never hide from the bitter foes who all desire his death for many reasons. Heeding the words of a powerful magician, Hector sought refuge in the Bahljet mountains, where he was taken into the care of twin witches Rosalie and Julia Laforeze. In exchange for his continued sanctuary, Hector must accompany the twins as they uncover a hidden world where magic and horrors intertwine. A fleeting opportunity for redemption awaits Hector, but the road ahead is marked with trials and tribulations the likes of which he had never encountered before... (This is an alternate continuation of the original show, so major spoilers).

What happens when a Napoleon-obsessed prodigy pushes the limits of technology and wakes up in Revolutionary France? Or so he thinks. Li Xuan, a brilliant programmer and self-proclaimed historian nerd, finds himself pulled into a world that mirrors the France he once admired..but something was off. This was not the France he read in the textbooks… This is Valeronne, a realm cloaked in illusions where monarchs and mobs rule on the surface, but darker powers pull the strings from beneath the illusions. Beneath the glided and glamorous lifestyles of the bourgeoisie lies a rigid hierarchy of beings- vampires, specters, cults, and ancient horrors- who maintain order through fear and blood. At the center of this struggle, helping navigate Li Xuan through this eerie world, is Neurax, a powerful neural AI that sent him here. Armed with knowledge from the modern world and driven by his ambitions to return home, Li Xuan seizes the chance to rise from obscurity. Manipulating revolutions, exploiting the supernatural, and ultimately reshaping the history of Valeronne. Yet beneath his conquests lies a deeper mystery: Why was he chosen? What is the true nature of the system that governs this reality? As he builds an empire in a world not his own, he must decide whether he is merely playing Napoleon…or becoming him? The Napoleonic System is a dark fantasy novel that is inspired by the gothic horror of Castlevania, the mysticism of Lord of Mysteries, and the real-life story of Napoleon Bonaparte himself.

When the seventh toll of midnight shuddered through the air, Adam’s knuckles cracked with a sickening pop. He clenched a blood-soaked leather glove between his teeth, watching his irises bleed from amber to feral green in the grimy mirror. This marked his 109th full moon in this alien world—a world where the lycanthropic curse clung to his bones like a parasite, yet still, against all odds, had not devoured the last shreds of his humanity. Three years ago, Adam had been nothing more than a corporate drone in a cubicle, debugging code under fluorescent lights. Everything changed when a subway explosion hurled him through a vortex of flames. He still remembered the surreal moment his hand phased through molten steel, plunging him into a void streaked with violet auroras. When he awoke, he was curled in an iron cage etched with glowing runes, the verdict of his trial echoing in an unfamiliar tongue: “Otherworldly beast—banished to the Evernight Citadel.” The Citadel—a gargantuan fortress suspended above an ocean of clouds—was humanity’s final bulwark against the abyssal horrors below, and a prison for all non-human races. Adam learned to hide the silver wolven markings snaking up his neck beneath scarves, surviving as a black-market peddler in the slums, trading salvaged electronics from his old world. Every full moon, he retreated to a derelict altar in the catacombs’ third layer, chaining himself to a stone sarcophagus. Amid the searing pain of claws rending flesh, visions haunted him: a crown of burning cogs floating at the heart of the cosmos, like a deity’s discarded relic. “That’s the Soul Crown,” rasped One-Eyed Maggie, the fortune-teller, her cigarette smoke curling around Adam’s sketch of the vision. “Legends say it can tear reality itself… but the Grand Inquisitor shattered it into seven fragments three centuries ago. They’re hidden—” Her words died as steam-powered airships roared overhead, searchlights from the Citadel’s enforcers flooding the alley. The first corpse appeared the night Adam infiltrated the Central Library disguised as a janitor. The victim hung from the bronze statue of the God of Knowledge, a dagger of volcanic glass embedded where his heart should have been—a ritual execution reserved for lycanthrope traitors. By dawn, the Evernight Gazette blared headlines: “Wolfkin Terror Attack—Citywide Curfew Enacted.” The true nightmare began on the third full moon. Adam awoke in the catacombs to snapped chains glistening with another’s blood, his fist clutching a shred of fabric stamped with the Inquisition’s sigil. Worse, fractured memories surfaced: a masked man in a rain-lashed clocktower, pressing a shard of light into his chest. “Your veins hum with the Crown’s resonance,” hissed a nocturnal elf assassin materializing from shadows, her cloak embroidered with wisteria patterns that mirrored the auroras of Adam’s transit. “The Inquisition is dissecting every wolfkin alive—and you’re their prime specimen. Unless we claim the other fragments first.”

“Sialan, Ada…” “Brad... oh, sial... lebih dalam... lebih keras!” Suara tajam Ada memohon di antara desahan bernapasnya. Dentuman kepala tempat tidur ke dinding meningkat saat Ann membeku. Tidak... ini tidak mungkin! Ann menarik napas dalam-dalam dan mendorong pintu sedikit lebih lebar. Dadanya terasa seperti akan meledak saat ia menahan napas sementara celah itu melebar. Ketika itu mengungkapkan adiknya berbaring di bawah tunangannya, tangannya terbang ke mulutnya untuk menahan teriakan kengerian saat hatinya hancur seketika. Saat Brad mengaum melepaskan dirinya di dalam adiknya, Ada memalingkan kepalanya ke arah pintu dengan senyum sinis. Dingin yang menusuk turun ke atas Ann seolah-olah ember air es telah dituangkan ke atasnya dan dia berdiri dan menatap, matanya terbelalak dan mulut sedikit terbuka dalam ketidakpercayaan. Ada mengangkat tangannya dan melambai ke arah Ann dengan senyum puas terpatri di wajahnya saat Brad roboh di atasnya, mencium lehernya dengan penuh kasih.

Join discord: https://dsc.gg/indra Vlad, a destitute youngster from the slums, held an unwavering admiration for knights. Following an encounter with a bolt of black lightning, he started hearing a mysterious voice. One fateful day, a knight cloaked in the shimmering glow of the blue moonlight appeared, completely upending Vlad’s existence in the back alleys. This extraordinary event proved that even a faint star concealed among the darkest corners of the nocturnal firmament can still radiate its brilliance, should it yearn to shine. By Indra Scans

The story began when Lucifer grew bored. This led him to decide to create a superior race to his father's, for his own entertainment. This race would surpass humans in every aspect, but there were still limitations to what he could achieve. For instance, he couldn't deceive the sun, a natural force belonging to his father, God. He desired a race that could outwit and behave like humans in order to deceive his father's masterpiece, but he couldn't create it in the same way as his father. Therefore, he opted for a shortcut - creating a disease known as vampirism. The main character becomes the first vampire, obtaining the blessing from Lucifer himself. In the year 646 A.D. in a small village in The Frankish Kingdom, a young albino girl named Carmilla lived in fear for her life. In those dark ages, her unique appearance meant almost certain death. Confined to the basement of her house, she had never seen the world beyond its walls. Her parents kept her in chains, showing her no love or kindness, except for her sister Anna, who was her only source of comfort and care. However, tragedy struck when fate cruelly took Anna away. Alone and desperate, Carmilla prayed for salvation, and in her darkest moment, an unexpected blessing came from the Seraphim Lucifer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my novel, Carmilla will embark on a journey through different time periods, facing great dangers along the way. She may encounter historical figures such as Vlad The Impaler, visit the Lancaster duchess, and possibly even travel to Brazil. The story will be filled with numerous historical events, some of which will be altered while others may not occur at all. The supernatural world will be rich with a variety of folklore from real life, some of which I may create myself. Elements such as werewolves, sorcery, faith bearers, pagan gods, and more will be included. I draw inspiration from real world legends and events, and will also introduce some original creations of my own. Many of the vampire characters in the story will be influenced by existing vampire literature, such as Castlevania, Vampire: The Masquerade, Count Dracula, and others.

In a realm of mortals, a monster stirred into existence. Initially adrift in purpose, the creature resolved to guard its progenitors, the girl who came before, he intended to defend and protect all of them. As times unfolded, the monster adeptly concealed itself behind the visage of a mortal, humanoid in nature, he easily donned the guise, the mask of a human being. Yet, fear not, for the tale did not conclude there. A young man's agonized wail pierced the nocturnal silence, a lament for all he lost, for all he wished to protect, challenging the heavenly realms and defying the very essence of existence. In his rebellion, the world recoiled, deeming him unworthy of breath, a rejection that ushered his drowning into oblivion. Amidst the struggle for survival, an otherworldly entity took notice. "Perhaps…? Let's test the fortitude of his will!" As the youth teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, a voice resonated in his mind. [Notice: Legendary Skill Reincarnation Acquired!] [Reincarnation has been activated!] ... In a cosmos where gods, devils, humans, myths, and dreams converge into reality, the monster finds rebirth. Yet, navigating this new existence proved arduous, for the world demanded a toll for every breath he took and every moment of joy in it. And such a toll… it will be paid with his life once more. Will the human-masked monster triumph… Or will he fall just like a hundred times before? Let me see an end to it, but now… will you join me, Mortal!? ----------------------------------- The main story technically starts with Season 3. The first two seasons are something like a prologue to show what happened and kind of who MC is, so simply, if you want a faster experience, start with season 3; it won't be that much of a difference if you don't. Chapter Length: 1800-2200 words. The Mc is a kind of psychopath who wore a mask throughout his life, but I would not easily condemn him as neither good nor evil. (And before you ask. Yes, the MC is kind of a yandere obsession type as well.) There will be a harem, but it will be much later or until I start liking another girl character. There is some dark stuff, be it burning flesh, dissection, blood, extreme agony, or whatever else. I just want to say that if you don't like it, be prepared that they are not uncommon and are mostly detailed... A question that arose in me... When does someone become a monster? Where is the edge of humanity? I don't know the specifics either just yet, so let's find out together... And that's it. Have a nice read, my fellow humans. ;)

“Love me like you want to watch me bleed.” When Elara Voss trespasses into the Thornes’ forbidden forest to save her dying sister, she expects venomous thorns—not a bloodied tyrant chained to a sacrificial altar. Kael Thorne, ruler of the nocturnal Lycan syndicate, wears his patricidal scars like trophies and craves her blood to quiet the silver shrapnel devouring his heart. He gifts her a steel-boned corset laced with silver spikes, yet burns his fur shielding her from flames. He forces mandrake wine down her throat at feasts, but trembles dressing the wounds he carved into her flesh. He smirks as she finds abortion pills hidden in her breakfast tray, yet carves an ice cradle for the “monster” growing in her womb. “You smell like absolution,” he growls, fangs glinting against her torn dress, molten-gold eyes reflecting the wedding band forged from his own bones. “Too bad I sold my soul long before you.” But when Argent Order’s missiles shatter the cathedral glass, Elara discovers the crescent scar on her collarbone perfectly matches the autopsy report of Kael’s deceased sister—whose funeral portrait hangs in his bloodstained gallery. As flames engulf the altar, she drives a dagger into his crystallizing heart, only to hear their bonded bone rings wail in unison. The truth crashes louder than the crumbling chapel: Their fatal bond began the night he dragged her from a fire two decades ago. Now, under a bleeding moon, Kael slams her blade deeper into his chest, crystalline shards spraying like shattered stars: “Feel it, darling… …how this heart that beats for you is slowly turning into the blade that will slit your throat.” WARNING: Contains morally bankrupt aristocrats, mutually assured destruction masquerading as romance, and enough gothic depravity to make Dracula blush. When the blood pact ignites, will you root for the knife—or the throats it dances between?

A werewolf attack leaves her unscathed. A vampire’s bite fails to mark her skin. Now, both species want her for one reason: her blood holds the power to cure lycanthropy or strip vampires of their immortality. Kidnapped by Selene Dracul, the ruthless vampire queen who rules the nocturnal cities, Lira learns the truth Selene wants to weaponize her blood to erase the werewolf clans. But the werewolf king, Kael Thorn, sees her as a threat that must be eliminated.

"I am but a poor girl trying to make a living in this god forsaken world. But it's really been too long. I think I have been in this world for 2 years already, and at first I was afraid, I was petrified....." and just as Saya was about to break into a full sing and dance performance, she noticed a golden patch hiding behind a bush. "What the hell!" she exclaimed. "What's a grown a*s man doing here sleeping in the middle of nowhere? " "Oh wow! This is the most good looking guy that I have come across in both worlds". She was mesmerized by his facial features that seems to be sculpted by the Gods. "Is this what prince charming looks like?" And that's how it started.

L’horloge de la vieille gare de Saint-Roch indiquait 23h57. L’air était chargé d’humidité, et une fine brume rampait entre les pavés du quai désert. À cette heure, plus personne ne s’attardait ici—sauf lui. Gabriel Delcourt attendait. Son manteau sombre battait légèrement sous la caresse du vent nocturne. Ses yeux, d’un vert profond, scrutaient l’obscurité au-delà des rails, là où les lumières de la ville s’arrêtaient net. Il n’aimait pas cet endroit. Trop de souvenirs. Trop de fantômes. Un murmure s’éleva derrière lui, comme une respiration retenue trop longtemps. Il se retourna brusquement, son cœur martelant sa poitrine. Personne. Pourtant, il le savait : il n’était pas seul. Ce soir marquait le début d’une quête qu’il aurait préféré éviter, un plongeon dans un passé qu’il s’était efforcé d’oublier. Mais on ne fuit pas éternellement les ombres, surtout quand elles portent un nom. Et le sien venait d’être murmuré dans l'obscurité.

Selene Raine was never meant to survive. A resistance fighter with nothing left to lose, she died as she lived; fighting. A single moment of sacrifice should have been the end of her story. Instead, she wakes up to a nightmare. The war isn’t over. The enemy isn’t dead. And neither is she. Turned into a vampire against her will, Selene finds herself shackled to an invasive system that whispers in her mind, warping her thoughts and rewriting the truth. It grants her power, but at a cost; one that she refuses to pay. The city she once bled for is now a hunting ground, ruled by creatures who see humans as nothing more than cattle. And at the heart of it all stands Lucian Valcrest, the vampire lord who turned her. Cold, unreadable, and far too powerful, he claims to be her ally. She isn’t convinced. But time is running out. If Selene doesn’t break free from the system’s control, it won’t just consume her, it will turn her into the very weapon she once swore to destroy. She may have lost her humanity, but the war isn’t over. Not yet.

Summary of the story: "Under the Enemy Moon" In a world where werewolves have existed for centuries, two clans, the Fierce and the Nocturnes, have been engaged in an ancient war. Their conflict dates back to a long-forgotten betrayal, and the hatred between them seems indestructible. The Fierce, known for their discipline and sense of honor, are the protectors of the territory. The Nocturnes, wilder and more untamed, are known for their raw power and refusal to follow any rules. This rivalry has been fueled by centuries of conflict, power struggles, and bloody murders. At the heart of this war is Fiona, a young she-wolf from the Fierce clan, who has always been protected by her elders. But one day, during a reconnaissance mission, she comes face-to-face with Kane, a member of the enemy clan, the Nocturnes. As they clash, a strange chemistry develops between them, an intense attraction neither of them fully understands. Kane, the heir to the Nocturnes' leader, is far from the monster Fiona had imagined. He is charismatic, honorable despite the brutality of his clan, and he feels a mysterious bond with Fiona that he cannot explain. Fiona, on her part, is torn between the instinct of loyalty to her clan and the attraction she feels for this mortal enemy. Their encounter upends everything they thought they knew about their clans and their beliefs. As their relationship develops, they discover that their bond goes beyond mere attraction. Their connection seems fated, as if the moon itself orchestrated their meeting. But this union is risky: every kiss, every moment spent together fuels the tensions between their clans, putting their lives and those of their loved ones in danger. As tensions rise and war erupts once again between the Fierce and the Nocturnes, Fiona and Kane must choose between the love they share and their loyalty to their clans. Could their love break the curse of ancestral hatred? Or will it be their downfall, the final spark in an endless war? "Under the Enemy Moon" is a story of impossible love, sacrifice, and redemption, where two soulmates fight against their destiny to attempt to reconcile worlds devastated by hatred.

It wasn't on purpose. When Maria stole a peculiar book from one of her classmates, she thought nothing of it since her classmate didn't seem too fond of reading; Maria thought she could get away with it, however, she never expected the book to hold such secrets. Working as a barista in the city of Quezon, Maria discovers that not only was the book she had once read predicting the end of the world, but her old pocket watch was the key to figuring out its secrets. Before she knew it, chaos started to unfold, claiming the lives of thousands as deadly games began to appear all over the world, forcing humans to become players to survive. Maria never imagined that an old book series could lead to such catastrophes. Can a book with hundreds of pages stacked together— really be the sole reason for the end of humanity? Left with no other choice, Maria uses her knowledge from the books to navigate through the looming perils before her. With the desire to meet the beings that heralded the world's end and uncover the mysteries shrouding her books, Maria strove to survive and adapt to her new reality, even if it meant being tangled between life and death. In a world brimming with tales, akin to the multitude of stars gleaming in the nocturnal skies or the depths of the vast ocean yet to be explored, the story of searching for one's ending begins... * * * TL;DR: What to expect: -Slow Paced Story -Character Development  -A Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic World -Mysteries! -Diverse Characters  -Family Conflict and Comradeship  -Sub-Plot Romance between Two Women -3.4k-3.8k Word Count per Chapter -Mistakes in grammar or prose since English is not my Native Language What NOT to expect: -Overpowered MC -Reverse Harem -LitRPG * * * Before reading this story, please note that this story will not be a short one.
