Long ago, when hell split open, thousands of demonic beings crawled out. Pope Luthian II was terrified. He did not understand what had happened—but he knew something had to be done. With every ounce of faith, he cried out to the gods. To his absolute astonishment, they responded. Through their divine guidance, he founded the Order of the Severed Sun—an elite brotherhood of holy knights tasked with hunting down the creatures that had escaped from hell. But these knights were no ordinary warriors. They were granted power by the Sun God himself. In return, each knight had to offer something deeply personal as sacrifice—something they could never regain. The Order fought with everything they had. And in the end, they succeeded—sealing the gates of hell once more. Centuries passed, and the Order still stood. The gates remained closed, but the world was far from cleansed. Among the Order’s warriors was Reinhart the One-Armed, a famed knight who had sacrificed his limb for divine strength. During the cleansing of a remote village rumored to harbor a demon, Reinhart found something unexpected: a six-year-old boy. Reinhart made a decision. He would take the boy in. He would raise him. And he would train him... to become his successor.

In the stillness of the evening, a sudden, deafening thud shattered the tranquil silence. Zarah’s father, recognizing the uninvited intruders, attempted to flee, only to be seized and brutally beaten by two brawny men. Her mother and sisters watched in horror as their beloved patriarch choked on his own blood. From the shadows, a sinister figure emerged, brandishing a cigarette and cloaked in a woolen coat. "You've ignored my warnings, and now you expect me to show mercy?" He snarled, standing over Zarah's father as he pleaded for his life. "I gave you plenty of time to pay back what you owed. But you ran away with my money, your family, and my cocke." "Please, please, we can work this out!" Zarah's father begged, spitting blood from his battered mouth. The man shook his head, his cruel smirk widening. Too late, amigo," the man sneered. Without hesitation, two gunshots rang out. Zarah's eyes fluttered open, the world a watery blur. What she saw silenced her forever. Her father's head was bashed and bleeding, her mother's stomach torn open. A scream ripped from Zanah's throat, tugging at Zarah's heart. Tears streamed down her face as the horrific realization set in. They were gone.

"You're the most callous person I've ever met!" I yelled. "It's not like you're a saint either, Siren." "Red," I correct him. Right when I thought he was inhuman, there was twinkle in his eye when I said this. Ever since the disappearance of his now non existing significant 'other. Nothing else mattered to him. So he thought at least. He was the monster in his favorite song, the repulsive one, he was the nostalgic, rare breed, that adored the smell of gasoline. She, oh she was the Siren. The exquisite in all man's eyes. She was known as the ray of danger... but she truly was a ray of sunshine. She, solemnly wanting a better future for herself. He, doing what he did best. He killed with no remorse. He lived for blood and pain And I just hoped I wasn't his next victim. What happens when a tornado and a volcano meet again? Find out

The dark terrified you, it was full of monsters, they shared the same blood as you, so you ran toward the red light, and stood under it Taking back your breath, you felt safe, you felt warm, until you saw your own flesh melting, boiling In dread, you tried to escape, to come back to the dark, but your limbs already turned into a mass of blood and rotting meat, the pain burned, you drowned in your own flesh, now you look like nothing You stretch an arm to reach the sky, but you were begging your killer to save you, you shouted for the devil, you kneeled for the red light

Naph had a couple of years of extremes. One year, he was trying to chase down a few rats in a desert. Another he was hunting bears in a river. There was a year when he just chilled himself on a beach. His volatile heart mayhems his life. This time his hunt had a different breed entirely. Named Bulwark. Quite the bounty on such a name. The only requirement? Bring the head back clean and without damage. Hunting was a sport. At least that’s what he had learned by watching others. Every adult showing off their repertoire of the dead. His volatile nature and teen years hadn’t taught him whom to show off or not. Bulwark was his first human kill. Yet it was his first insight into what a ‘catalyst’ could do. His survival had been on his intellect earlier, but not anymore. The world responded. He ran. Ran into things he hadn’t heard. Will the world make him another number in its long list of the dead? Or will he learn its truths? Will he know of the unspoken words he hadn’t processed? His heart a volatile entity; the world a raging a beast chasing him. And a few words that he didn’t knew- yet one etched itself in: “Cata”. ---------------------------------------------------- This story is also available on RoyalRoad.com with the same title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username 'alex_reads'.

A Broken Bloodline. A Desperate Flight. A Door That Should Never Be Opened. The Mu-Ryong Clan, once revered as the guardians of the Frozen Mountain, lies in ruins. Framed for treason by the Emperor’s court, their patriarch is dragged away in chains, and their ancestral fortress burns. Only three children remain alive—Tae (14), Lian (12), and Yun (10)—fleeing with their mother into the merciless winter wasteland. But they are not warriors. Not yet. Their martial arts are unfinished, their qi weak. Tae’s Frozen Fist lacks power, Lian’s ice illusions barely fool the eye, and Yun’s Rimefire Eyes—glimpses of a terrifying black sun—are more curse than gift. Behind them, the Emperor’s hunters close in: the silent, relentless Black Tide Division and the traitorous Crimson Teeth, who know the children’s weaknesses all too well. With no allies, no sanctuary, and strength fading, the Mu-Ryong heirs stumble upon a crumbling ruin—a nameless, forgotten tomb of ice and dead refugees. Beneath it, they find something worse than death: The Event Horizon. A gateway of black ice, pulsing like a sleeping heart. It whispers to Yun. It shows him things that should not be. And as the hunters descend, the children face an impossible choice—die by the blade, or risk what lies beyond the door. But the Event Horizon is not a treasure. Not a weapon. It is hunger. And it has been waiting for them.

Welcome to a world where dragons soar through skies painted with magic, and devils lurk in the shadows cast by ancient portals. Five thousand years ago, a rift opened in the heavens, connecting our world to another—a realm teeming with gods, dragons, and a myriad of fantastical beings. Overnight, the balance of power shifted, and humanity found itself amidst an age of wonders and perils. In this new world, magic is not merely a legend but an everyday reality. It flows through the air, courses through the earth, and pulses within the very essence of life itself. With the advent of magic, humans evolved into heroes, demon lords, and monsters, carving their place in a society now governed by divine beings, dragons, and demi-humans. Three thousand years into this new era, a cataclysmic battle erupted between two mighty dragons—the Dark Dragon and the White Dragon. Their conflict ravaged continents and threatened to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Fearing mutual annihilation, humans, gods, devils, and demi-humans set aside their differences, forging an unprecedented alliance to slay the warring dragons. With great sacrifice and courage, they succeeded. The souls of the Dark Dragon and the White Dragon, however, did not find peace. Instead, they awaited their chance to reincarnate, their destinies bound to new hosts chosen from among humanity. Now, as the world enters its two-thousandth year of peace, the White Dragon has found its bearer—a young warrior named Ryuji. Ryuji, renowned for his valor and mastery of elemental magic, is hailed as the savior who bears the soul of the White Dragon. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to many, the Void Dragon—the counterpart to the White Dragon—awaits its own host, observing humanity from the shadows. As Kazuki Satoru prepares for his first day at a prestigious high school, unaware of the ancient power stirring within him, he finds himself thrust into a world where legends and reality converge. Little does he know, his destiny will soon intertwine with that of the Void Dragon, setting the stage for an epic tale of magic, courage, and the bonds that unite or divide us.

In a world shattered by its own sins, monsters walk beside men—beasts born not of darkness alone, but of the very rot festering in human hearts. They are the Never-Weres—soulless, heartless abominations that stalk the living and raze all good that dares to stand in their path. Against them rise the Never-Slayers, fierce warriors tasked with shielding the fragile remnants of humanity from annihilation. Behind the fortified walls of the iron-willed city of Kharvald, a young woman lives in quiet solitude. With no family to comfort her and no one to whom she belongs, she bears her pain in silence. She is Ori—radiant, determined, and quietly burning with ambition. Orphaned by fate, left only with a crumbling bakery and an impossible dream, Ori kneads dough and frosts cakes to survive. Her hands, though soft from sugar and flour, carry the calluses of secret training, of quiet resilience. For though she sells sweets to the city’s tired souls, what she truly craves is something far more dangerous: To become a Never-Slayer. She hides her training, shelters her hope—but deep down, she knows. She is far from the warriors who stand against the dark. Her dream is a flicker in a storm. Until it appears. The Sun-Wielder System—a mysterious force, ancient and godlike, a gift from a being—chooses her. It whispers of strength. Of glory. Of power beyond what any Never-Slayer has ever known. And Ori, starved for purpose and clinging to the dream her parents never saw, accepts. She accepts with every corner of her heart, every shard of her broken past. If this greed—this hunger for meaning—can become her salvation, she will chase it into fire and shadow. But such gifts never come free. And the price? May burn brighter than the sun itself.
