Bleeding Shadows ( Ashes)

In a world where the dead cling to the living through malevolent spirits called *Shades*, 19-year-old **Jin Soel** harbors a cursed gift: he can resurrect the dead, but each act of defiance against death exacts a gruesome toll. A degenerative curse known as **the Rot** consumes his body, crumbling it piece by piece. Torn between desperation and guilt, Jin uses his power to dig up graves, seeking answers about his mother’s mysterious death years ago—and the monstrous Shade she became when he first unknowingly resurrected her. When Jin revives **Min-ah**, a murdered classmate, her soul erupts as a ferocious Shade, forcing him to destroy her corpse again to survive. Bloodied and crumbling, Jin is confronted by **Yuri**, a cryptic woman with one ghostly eye and a vial of temporary salvation. She drags him into the **Hollow Market**—a macabre underworld where the damned trade secrets, memories, and flesh. There, Jin learns Min-ah’s death was no random tragedy but part of a sinister *harvest* to breed powerful Shades. As Jin navigates this shadowy realm with Yuri—whose motives blur the line between ally and manipulator—he uncovers threads linking Min-ah’s murder to his mother’s past. But every resurrection Jin performs to unravel the truth accelerates the Rot, edging him closer to becoming one of the very monsters he hunts. With Shades growing stronger and his body failing, Jin must decide how much of himself he’s willing to lose to protect the living… and outrun the ghost of the mother he doomed to eternal torment. **Dark, visceral, and morally tangled**, *Bleeding Shadows* weaves a tale of cursed power, haunted legacies, and the price of clinging to those already gone. Perfect for fans of *Chainsaw Man*’s existential grit and *The Girl from the Other Side*’s eerie melancholy.

DAUGHTER OF ASH AND NIGHT

Daughter of Ash and Night In the vampire-ruled kingdom of Varneth, where humans are little more than pawns in a deadly game of power, Aliana Everan has always been nothing—an unwanted daughter, a shadow in her father’s household, a stain upon his noble name. Born to a concubine and despised by her stepmother, she has spent her life enduring cruelty in silence. But when she is falsely accused of treason and sentenced to death, fate takes a dark turn. Instead of dying, she is bound by blood to the most feared man in the kingdom—Kaelith Veyne, the forsaken prince. The firstborn son of the vampire king, Kaelith should have been heir to the throne. But his mother was a witch—an unforgivable sin in Varneth. Branded as an outcast, he was cast aside in favor of his younger, purer brother. Yet, the magic in his veins makes him more powerful than any royal would dare to admit. Now, fate has tied them together—an unwanted human girl and a cursed prince. Thrown into the treacherous world of vampire politics, Aliana must learn to navigate a court that thrives on deception and bloodlust. As whispers of war stir in the shadows, she soon realizes that being Kaelith’s mate does not mean protection—it means becoming a target. And as enemies close in from all sides, she must answer one question: Is Kaelith her salvation… or her doom? Betrayal. Blood. Power. A love that could bring a kingdom to its knees. This is the story of a girl who was meant to die, and the prince who was never meant to rule.

Revenant, The Age of Ash & Rebirth

World Synopsis: The Age of Ash and Rebirth Over a thousand years ago, the world as humanity knew it came to an end. The Cataclysm—an apocalyptic event of unknown origin—fractured the Earth, reshaping continents and awakening forces long thought to be myths. From the depths of the broken world, monstrous creatures, ancient demons, and eldritch beings emerged, threatening to wipe out what remained of civilization. Faced with extinction, humanity was forced to adapt. Some say it was evolution; others believe it was divine intervention or a cosmic curse. Regardless, humans began to manifest extraordinary abilities, wielding fire, lightning, ice, and even stranger forces. These individuals, called Revenants, became the last line of defense against the chaos, using their powers to push back the horrors that had overrun their lands. The Revenants were not born; they were chosen by the very forces that had shattered the world, and their abilities often came at great personal cost. Some gained extraordinary strength or elemental powers, while others were cursed with uncontrollable and dangerous abilities. But all were bound by the same fate: survival in a world that demanded sacrifice. Battles raged for centuries, and through blood, sweat, and sheer will, humanity survived. The Revenants, once revered as saviors, became legends, both feared and admired. Over time, civilization rebuilt itself, no longer the same as before. The shattered lands became sprawling city-continents, massive territories that now serve as hubs of power. Each city is governed not only by political leaders but also by those who wield supernatural abilities, some enforcing order while others pursue their own ambitions. The New Age: Order and Chaos With the monsters and demons driven into the uncharted lands, the world entered an uneasy peace. However, power breeds conflict. Not all who wield abilities fight for justice—some use their strength for personal gain, domination, or revenge. Warring factions, mercenary groups, and crime syndicates emerged, each vying for control in the shadows of civilization. Among these groups, the Revenants are both feared and revered—some see them as protectors, others as agents of chaos. At the heart of this fragile balance, groups like the Beasts of Prey roam the world, operating outside the law, caught between the forces of order and chaos. Some see them as outlaws, others as necessary evils. But in this world, survival depends not just on strength—but on the choices one makes. As the Revenants grow in power, rumors spread of an ancient force stirring beneath the surface. The Cycle of Ash—the world’s endless cycle of destruction and rebirth—may not yet be over. Those who possess the rarest and most dangerous abilities, like Dax, are beginning to experience strange visions, leading them to question whether the Revenants' powers are truly their gift or a curse that binds them to the world's fate.
