Shades Of Wicked A Night Rebel

In a realm of mortals, a monster stirred into existence. At the beginning, adrift in purpose, the creature resolved to guard its progenitors and the girl who came before, he intended to defend and protect all of them... his only purpose... 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!? ----------------------------------- This novel is an extremely slow-burn one... The main story technically starts with Season 3. The first two seasons are something like a prologue to show what happened and who the 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 and gore 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. ;)

In a city that never sleeps — and never dreams — a series of mysterious murders begins to unfold. No witnesses. No fingerprints. No clues. Only one sign left behind: the number 17. Detective Soren Blackwell, known for his cold logic and piercing eyes, is assigned to the case. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes… the truth is watching him, too.

No one volunteered. You were torn away from where you lived — from the life you knew. You don't know why your name began to shine. You don't know why, while staring at that dark sky, you suddenly woke up in the middle of another world. This was neither a game, nor a dream. This was reality — broken and twisted. And with each passing day, the way back... became even more impossible. Riven Altarai was just the beginning of the rupture. Like him, many were summoned by forces unknown. Each came from different pasts, carrying different wounds — but now, in this new world, they all fought to survive the same nightmare. But what was this world? A judgment? A punishment? Or perhaps the second awakening humanity truly deserved? Those who gained power — would they become gods? Or would they awaken the monsters within? The answer lies within the Seal of the Night. And when the seal breaks... nothing will ever be the same again.

Once, I was Edric Sebastian Thornleigh. A pianist shackled by false grandeur, entangled in cold harmonies, and betrayed by every promise I ever believed. My heart was shattered by the lies and charades they called love, and my ambition reduced to a tool to solidify another's name. I was a prisoner in a gilded cage, thirsting for a true freedom I never found. But from the ruins of that betrayal, a voice called me from the abyss. A pact. Power. I accepted. Edric is dead. Now, I am Julian Lucien Malrick, the Maestro of Darkness. No more limits. No more shackles. Only absolute power, boundless freedom, and the ambition to shape the world to my will. I will spread the true symphony of darkness across the globe. Every note I play will permeate souls, unleash the darkest desires, and shatter every illusion of "goodness" that binds humanity. This is not merely vengeance; this is a mission. A masterpiece that will etch my name—and the name of the Lord of Darkness—into eternity. The world shall dance to my rhythm. "Revel, and taste the pleasure of the music of darkness."

Rhys needs Clementine's firm to complete a prestigious, city-defining project that will solidify his dominance.

"I don’t remember who I was before stepping onto that pirate ship... And maybe I never want to remember." Raised among torn sails and the salty scent of the sea, I found in a pirate crew the only family I ever knew. Years passed, and my hardened heart believed that adventures and battles were all I needed... until he appeared. A mysterious nobleman, with eyes that seemed to hold all the secrets I had forgotten. His scent was different — it didn’t smell of rum and sweat, but of memories I insisted on burying. “Where have you been all this time?” he asked, as if he knew me better than I knew myself. Torn between the instinctive call of my omega body and the need to keep my secrets buried, I have to decide: face a past I’ve always run from... or keep sailing without looking back.

Eighteen-year-old Minjun has never fit into the mold his parents dreamed for him. While his friends chase university acceptances and stable futures, Minjun stands alone on a rain-soaked Seoul rooftop, whispering his hopes to the night sky and scribbling lyrics into a battered notebook. He’s not just another boy who wants to be a K-pop idol — he wants to write his own songs, sing his own truth, and stand under the stage lights as his own kind of star. When a small but influential entertainment company unexpectedly invites him for an audition, Minjun thinks this might finally be his chance. But inside the dazzling world of K-pop, dreams cost more than just time and talent — they demand sacrifice, secrecy, and the strength to stand up every time the industry knocks him down.

Along the way, he forges fragile friendships, clashes with idols who see him as a threat, and discovers how far he’s willing to go to keep his songs his own — in an industry where even dreams can be manufactured. Idol of the Night is a raw, heartfelt journey through the shadows behind the spotlight — a story about finding your voice when everyone wants to rewrite your song, and the courage it takes to stand alone under the brightest lights.

No one knows exactly when it began. Maybe it was the moment the sky split in two. Or when the black rain started to fall, thick, oily, alive. What is certain is that on that night, the world changed forever. The sun vanished without warning. In its place, a heavy darkness blanketed the Earth, swallowing cities, forests, and oceans beneath a veil no human light could penetrate. It was as if the planet had stopped spinning. As if the universe had simply forgotten us. Then came the rain. It wasn’t water. What poured from the sky that night looked like clotted blood, or oil mixed with something far worse. It was something no one had ever seen before. Wherever it touched, life changed. Animals went mad. Plants grew into grotesque forms. And people... not all of them remained people. That night, humanity lost its place. We were no longer the apex predator. The planet no longer belonged to us. Now, it’s no longer about survival. It’s about reclamation. The cities are lost. Borders are meaningless. And every shadow might be your last. This is no longer humanity’s Earth. But it can be again.
