Academic Horror

The Regime of Ezkabel rules over nearly two-thirds of the known world, directly or through quiet chains. Its magic—precise, ritual-bound, and devastating—has become the norm. Efficient. Widespread. Revered. But in the fading lands of the Eastern Crescent, a different path endures—one older, slower, and nearly forgotten. A lineage of ancient disciplines survives, passed down through whispered chants, elemental mastery, and sheer force of will. And all across the Earth, a quiet corruption spreads—its cause untraceable, its presence undeniable, its ideas irrefutable, and its influence deepening with each passing day. The standard narrative claims it is merely a natural symptom of overpopulation—a necessary mechanism to keep everything in check. This is the story of Larsen, a quiet boy with a broken childhood, and how his inner world collides with the world outside. It’s a story of perseverance and hope… and that in the darkest of times, what matters is to stand up and tell the world that all is not finished. Will Larsen survive the rising corruption, when even his own inner world begins to crumble? {The first seven chapters serve as an introduction to Larsen’s world — his struggles, family, and the forces brewing in the shadows. The real descent begins after.}

Kaito Ran was only eleven years old when he stood by his ailing father's side and watched him suffer until he passed away. During his passing, Ran witnessed a djinn appear to take his father's soul to hell (NARAKU). Ran refuses, unable to accept his father facing eternal perdition, regardless of the djinn telling him that that was the order of things. At the end of the day, his refusal meant nothing. His father was taken to hell, but during the process, Ran caught a glimpse of hell before the spiritual portal disappeared. He saw that it was a realm, a place of material and magic. He saw nine cities and towers, mythical beings and doomed souls. He realized that he could go there, he could go to hell and rescue his father.

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. Each volume is a standalone nightmare—shot, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring. The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You’re not reading a novel. You’re watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- Book 1, My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) When Mara Lockwood marries Daniel Kessler—a sweet, absentminded trauma therapist with a damaged past—she thinks she's finally escaped her own. But when a hidden diary shows up in a locked drawer, detailing gruesome murders that match the media reports to the hour, Daniel's handwriting on every page, she begins to question everything. Daniel claims no memory of the crimes. He's terrified. So is she. But Mara loves him. Needs him. And she's hiding things too. As bodies continue to surface and detectives close in, Mara must decide: Will she uncover the truth and lose him forever—or manipulate reality to keep the man she loves? Because if he's the killer… she might be the reason he became one. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original. Visual references are imagined and used for creative purposes only.

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror. From the skittering sounds of footsteps racing behind me, to the soft yet unnervingly cold whispers curling around my ears... All of it. I hate it. So much so that I start puking whenever I reach a certain threshold. And yet, I am a Horror Game Developer. A crappy one at that. So, given my lack of ability, I decided to quit. And yet... [Congratulations, you've been selected for the Horror Game Developer System!] Nope, I don't want it. Let me quit. ※ Note : Your world might experience some changes. But don't worry! It's part of the game! *** This is a story about a game developer who hates horror, but has no choice but to develop games scary enough to traumatize people. You want to curse me for making you piss your pants? If that's the case, who do I curse? *** An SCP inspired story with its own twist!

All the stories in this book is based on real events. I stories are based on folktale, horror or supernatural experiences of many people and some stories are from myth.

[A global horror game has launched — death means elimination, and only those who clear the levels survive.] I died five years before the game began. But I woke up in its deepest level. They think I'm just an NPC — a forgotten "bug" erased from the system. But only I know… my “death” was never sanctioned by this world.

Jack, a content creator for mystery, horror, and conspiracy stories, died. As he was recording a horror content. And then, he was reborn... as a supernatural entity, as a formless ghost. He acquired the system-panel like ability to get stronger. He could earn new supernatural traits. And even gained new incarnations later. But, the process was still unknown and unexplainable for him. But, that was not just the problem... Another problem... He was not reborn on his original Earth. He was reborn in an alternate Earth. The one still in the Industrial Revolution Era. The one with cursed steam engines, monster-infested sea exploration, mysterious pirates, supernatural powers, mythical creatures, demonic entities, and completely different geography.

When darkness wished to become normal human to escape from the loneliness he must learn the way of human emotion. What to expect : 1. Mc slow rise to original strength (idk how to nerf him tho we will see) 2. Multiple pov from first, second, to third person. 3.Sprinkle lf tragedy 4.Unique fantasy system 5.Deep lore. 6. Forth wall break. I'll be taking reader suggestions in the comment every chapter (if there's is one)

Daniel was just a normal guy—until he woke up inside a horror game no living human would ever dare to enter. To escape and return to his family, he must survive twisted trials and answer a single, deceptively simple question from the game’s creator: “Who am I?” But the deeper he goes, the more the question warps. The rules are surreal, the horrors psychological, and the cost of failure isn’t just death—it’s losing himself piece by piece. What to Expect: Psychological Horror – Subtle dread escalating to brutal mind games. Surreal Rules – A nightmare that bends logic but never breaks its own. Zero Power Fantasy – No stats, no systems—just fear and fading sanity. Finite, Tight Story – No filler; every chapter burns toward the end. No Comfort – This isn’t a story about healing. It’s about survival. What Not to Expect: OP MCs or cheats Progress bars Redemption arcs Safe spaces Note: This isn’t a quick-hit addiction. The early chapters are your calm before the storm—Chapter 15 is where hell opens its jaws. Stick around if you dare. (Cover is a placeholder until I commission art.

Jason a small but active built teen contracted with a royal princess of a forgotten dragonaught nation. Skye, a pure Flame Skylark Heaven dragon princess with a human contractee. How the two will cope with each other as danger approaches their fun and exciting academic life?

When transfer student Haruki Sakamoto accidentally walks into Professor Akizuki's "Psychology of Human Attachment" class, he expects to quietly slip out unnoticed. Instead, he finds himself captivated by both the subject matter and Noa Hoshizaki, a brilliant psychology major whose analytical approach to relationships challenges everything he thought he knew about love. Haruki has spent years analyzing emotions in literature while remaining clueless about his own feelings. Noa excels at academic theory but struggles with the practical application of healthy relationship patterns. Together, they embark on what begins as an intellectual exploration of attachment theory and evolves into something much more profound—learning how to love each other intentionally and well. Under Professor Akizuki's mentorship, they discover that relationships don't have to be mysterious or dramatic to be meaningful. Instead, they learn to apply psychological research to their own connection, developing communication skills, supporting each other's individual growth, and choosing conscious partnership over unconscious patterns inherited from childhood. As their romance deepens, so does their academic collaboration. Haruki's research on attachment pattern development complements Noa's thesis on therapeutic interventions, leading to discoveries that could influence how people understand and develop healthier relationships. Their work attracts attention from graduate programs across the country, forcing them to choose between geographic proximity and pursuing the academic opportunities that align with their individual goals. They decide to trust their relationship enough to support each other's dreams, even when it means separation. Noa accepts an early research position at the University of Chicago while Haruki prepares for graduate school at Northwestern. Their love survives the transition from campus romance to long-distance partnership, proving that relationships built on mutual support and intentional communication can thrive despite challenges. By graduation, they've not only learned how to love each other well, but their collaborative research has begun producing findings that could revolutionize relationship psychology. When their independent studies reveal what appears to be a critical period for attachment pattern development in young adults—a window where conscious relationship work produces dramatically accelerated results—they realize they may have discovered something that could help millions of people develop healthier connections. Volume 1 concludes as their research attracts national attention, with publication opportunities and conference presentations that could launch their academic careers. But Noa hints at another discovery that could change everything they think they know about their findings. This is a story about two people who learn that the best relationships aren't accidents of chemistry, but conscious collaborations between partners committed to each other's growth. It's about love that makes people better, research that matters, and the discovery that understanding attachment theory isn't just academic—it's the foundation for building lasting partnership. A romance for readers who believe love can be both analytical and passionate, practical and profound. More volume will be out soon!
