The Fall Of The House Of Usher Southern Gothic

For months, the world was ravaged by extreme weather—until everything suddenly stopped. But the silence didn’t last long. In every capital city, a colossal gate materialized. They called it "The Abyss Call." Those who dared to enter either lost their sanity or emerged with mysterious runic abilities. With no one to stop them, Slayers—wielders of these newly acquired powers—fought for control as chaos broke out, changing the planet. Void, a simple store clerk with a forgotten background, was caught in a nightmare he never anticipated in the midst of it all. "Why is my novel becoming reality!?" Void now has to deal with the perverse circumstances of his own tale, which are dangerous in ways he never could have predicted.

"They called me trash... but they forgot what trash becomes when it burns." Karlous Delimare Kaiser Phoenix — the disgrace of the Phoenix noble bloodline. Mocked by siblings, ignored by his magical prodigy mother, and labeled unworthy by the very blood that runs through his veins. In a world where strength is everything, he was destined to be forgotten… until the universe made a mistake. Waking up in a body that is not quite his own, Karlous finds himself in a realm of luxury, pain, and mystery. His memories shattered, his soul cursed, and his future uncertain — yet something ancient stirs within him. A pendant glowing with divine energy. Shadows that fear his chants. Tattoos that pulse with void lightning and purple flames. But this world is not kind to the different. As Karlous begins to awaken powers long lost to legend — the Void Arts, Divine Flame, and Mastery — he must battle not only monsters and traitors, but his own family, teachers, and fate itself. Thrown into magical duels, political schemes, and a rising storm of chaos, Karlous will rise not as a chosen one... But as the one they never saw coming. The Outcast. The Void. The Phoenix.

Some houses were never meant to be lived in… Deep in the countryside, hidden beneath overgrown ivy and timeworn decay, stands Blackwood Manor—a house long abandoned, yet never truly empty. When Elias Grayson, a skeptical historian, arrives to document its history, he dismisses the chilling whispers and strange shadows as mere tricks of the mind. But as the days pass, the house begins to unravel its secrets—secrets soaked in blood, betrayal, and something far worse. Every step he takes leads him deeper into the heart of an unspeakable nightmare. The mirrors do not reflect what stands before them. The walls breathe with the memories of the forgotten. And something watches from the darkness, waiting… As Elias digs into the past, he realizes some histories are not meant to be uncovered. The deeper he searches, the tighter the house’s grip becomes—until escape is no longer an option. Because The Hollow House does not let go of what it claims. Will Elias survive, or will he become just another whisper in the walls? A chilling supernatural horror novel filled with psychological dread, eerie suspense, and a house that refuses to be forgotten. Are you ready to step inside?

The apocalypse descended, reshaping the world overnight. Civilization crumbled, but in its wake came opportunities—a chance to evolve, to become something greater. Feng Tian was just an ordinary third-year university art student when it all began. By sheer luck—or perhaps fate—he survived the first wave of catastrophic changes. But survival was only the beginning. After experiencing the unnatural surge of strength that came with the new world, his perspective shifted. No longer was he once a man with no greater ambition than avoiding hard work in his later years. He now had a new goal. To climb higher, to become stronger, to seize everything this new world had to offer. But power never comes without a price. How much was he willing to sacrifice to claim it?

[VT] She sits there, bare feet crossed, a cigarette loosely held between her slender fingers. Wisps of silver smoke curl lazily around her, dancing to an unseen rhythm. Amber eyes glimmer with amusement as she smirks, gaze piercing through the very pages you are reading. "Do you think this is just a story? You're wrong. This is a game. And me? I'm just a spectator, watching how interesting it becomes." Another voice cuts through her musings. Author: "Aren’t you going to give them a warning?" The Fox tilts her head, lips curling into an amused smile. "The only warning I have for them? They'll lose money. Because this story is just that good." Blurb: A lost soul awakens within a misty void, reborn in a world where gods are not just myths—they are the very laws that shape reality. Here, dreams, memories, and fate itself are bound by forces beyond comprehension. Bestowed with an extraordinary ability, he is given the chance to step beyond the fragile boundary between life and death. But each return comes at a cost—fragments of his memory, pieces of his emotions, or perhaps... parts of himself. Shattered glimpses of reality intertwine, where death is not the end but a door leading to secrets long buried. In this world, everything follows a law—except for one thing. Death never truly ends.

In a world where gates open to monsters and magic, one-third of humanity has awakened to fight back. Reapers—warriors, mages, healers, and tanks—keep the balance, and among them, legends are born. Kyle is not one of them. Eighteen years old and the son of two of the most respected Reapers in the world, Kyle lives in the shadow of greatness. But instead of glory, he drowns in a mundane job, quiet addictions, and the consequences of lies he tells to survive. Depressed, ashamed, and alone, he’s convinced he’s beyond saving—until a near-death experience changes everything. When a D-rank gate breaches and threatens his only friend, Maya, something ancient speaks to him. Not with promises of power, but with a question: Do you want to die like this? Awakened by a system that doesn’t just measure strength—but character—Kyle receives more than a second chance. He receives a path. One shaped by Resolve, by the weight of his choices, and by the temptation to fall again. But redemption is not granted. It’s earned. And every flame starts as a spark. Against the Fall is a dark, emotional power fantasy about failure, growth, and the fight to change who you are—before the world, or your past, decides for you.

In a world where magic thrives and mythical beasts lurk in the shadows, Tohgi Akura is born into the unforgiving southern district of Vandekar—a lawless land ruled by bandits and plagued by poverty. Despite his humble beginnings, Tohgi harbours an audacious dream: to achieve recognition not for himself but for the overlooked and downtrodden people of his homeland. To realize this dream, he must become a Knight, a title synonymous with honour, power, and nobility. Tohgi’s raw talent rivals the elite, but his lack of noble heritage leaves him scorned by the privileged. Yet, his unwavering determination and resilience catch the attention of influential figures who see potential in the unrefined boy. With their guidance, Tohgi rises through the ranks, challenging a society built to keep people like him in the dirt. However, ambition has its price. As Tohgi carves his path toward greatness, his defiance of the status quo ignites conflicts that spiral into devastating wars. In his quest to protect those he loves and uphold his ideals, Tohgi must grapple with the weight of his choices and the sacrifices demanded by his legacy. The Journey of Tohgi Akura: 1. The Knight’s Path. 2. A Knight’s Dilemma. 3. Terrorist’s Mirror. 4. The Dark Truth. 5. National War. 6. Rise of the South. 7. The World Engulfed. Tohgi’s brilliance and strength make him a natural leader, but his journey is defined by contradiction. His moral ambiguity, reliance on intellect, and tendency to isolate himself complicate his path. Beneath his unyielding exterior lies a man burdened by the pain of his people and the weight of his choices. As he battles societal rejection and his inner demons, Tohgi’s story asks: Will he be remembered as a hero… a tyrant… or… just another man? Tohgi’s Odyssey is a tale of ambition, loyalty, and the unrelenting cost of dreams—a story of a boy’s rise from the shadows of poverty to the heights of power, and the tumultuous legacy he leaves behind.

In a world brimming with life and progress, yet shrouded in mystery and hidden truths, continents intertwine, kingdoms clash, and the Nine Ancient Sects wage an unending struggle. Amidst this turmoil lies the outskirts of Athenos, a city known as the ‘City of Happiness,’ where people from all over the world gather—seeking prosperity… or fleeing from their pasts. But beneath its radiant glow, darkness and oppression creep in, suffocating the souls longing for freedom. A young boy stood still, gazing at the horizon with eyes burdened by sorrow, before whispering: "I want to leave this world..." Beside him, a man of imposing presence turned to him, his voice calm yet piercing: "And why is that?" The boy hesitated for a moment before letting out a bitter laugh, averting his gaze. "Can't you see? Do I look like someone who belongs in this world? Do I seem like someone who wants to live?" The old man smirked—not out of pity, but something else… something the boy couldn’t quite grasp. Then, in a tone filled with certainty, he said: "Don’t say something so dull… Instead, come with me. I’ll show you what this world truly is." The boy eyed him warily, hesitating for a moment before asking: "Who are you?" The old man turned slightly, as if the answer held little importance, then replied with a teasing tone: "Me? Just an old man… My name is Rikudo, but they call me the Ruler of Paths." He paused, then looked back at the boy, his eyes gleaming with intrigue. "And what is your name, boy?" The boy clenched his fist as if confronting himself for the first time, before answering in a quiet yet profound voice: "My name… is Ashura." The old man raised an eyebrow, as if he had just heard something interesting. The boy then spoke again, this time with unwavering resolve: "Ashura Tekah." ---

A gust of wind stirs the fog, and for a split second, I see them—figures in the mist. Watching. Listening. Remembering. I clutch the slip of paper in my hand, the only clue I have. Find the House That Remembers. I don’t remember writing it. But I know the house is already waiting for me. And it does not forget.
