Penny Dreadful

In the shadowed year of 4416, a world bows beneath The Order’s iron faith, where silence hides dread and ancient horrors stir in the void. Grimm, a former High Bishop roused from an endless sleep, rides into a forsaken land guided by cryptic visions and a blood-scrawled map. What lies in the decaying village ahead—a cult’s dark secret, a force beyond reason, or a betrayal he can’t escape? As the earth itself whispers of doom, Grimm descends into a labyrinth of shadows, where every step unravels a mystery that could shatter reality.

Ethan Cross was just an ordinary college student in his past life—until he died trying to save a banker playing hero. Now, he finds himself reincarnated in "New World", a realm plagued by Dread Beasts, where only those who awaken Aethermarks can become Heroes. But there’s a problem. Ethan has awakened as an E-rank Hero, the weakest tier, cursed with only one ability slot—a death sentence for any aspiring warrior. With no powerful clans willing to recruit him and the world already looking down on him, his future seems bleak. Until he discovers his Innate Talent: Sanctum of Beasts. This mysterious power grants him access to a personal dimension, where he can hunt endless waves of Dread Beasts. Unlike the real world, slaying them in this space drops Ability Fragments, which he can combine to gain abilities without slot restrictions. Even better? Time flows differently—he can train for days, yet only an instant passes in reality. Determined to rise from nothing, Ethan embarks on a secret journey to accumulate power. But as he completes missions and unravels the truth about the Black Pits, he realizes there’s something far more sinister lurking beneath the surface. The Hero Association hides dark secrets. Villains roam freely in the shadows. And Dread Beasts may not be the mindless creatures everyone believes them to be. With powerful enemies watching his every move, Ethan must play a dangerous game—remain unnoticed or become the hunter of both beasts and men. But one thing is certain: In this world, strength is everything. And Ethan Cross will carve his own path to the top—no matter the cost.

Dread Mage Vellichor; feared and old; and someone who has mastered wizardry at its core, is bored of life and the strenuous actions of the bigger picture. He just wants small, but meaningful interactions with life. And he starts with a little dead girl he called Sonder. --- The chapters are what I call bite-sized, (only around 400 to 700 words), and I'll try to upload a chapter every day except for the weekend.

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!

Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape.

Penny hat drei Brüder: Einer ist ein milliardenschwerer CEO, der zweite ist der jüngste Leutnant des Militärs, und der letzte ist ein erfolgreicher Schauspieler. Diese drei erfolgreichen Männer haben nur eines gemeinsam: Sie schikanieren Penny, ihre kleine Schwester. Die Schwester, die sie nie haben wollten, und die behauptete, ihre echte Schwester zu sein, während die Schwester, die sie die ganze Zeit über schätzten, eine Fälschung war. Nachdem sie ein Leben voller Misshandlungen im Haus ihrer Tante verbracht hatte, kamen einige angesehene Leute zu Penny und teilten ihr ihre wahre Herkunft mit. Sie glaubte, endlich aus den Fängen ihrer Tante gerettet zu sein, ohne zu ahnen, dass sie Schlimmeres erwartete. Mit 13 wünschte sich Penny nur eines: dass ihre Brüder sie liebten und sie wie eine Familie behandelten, so wie sie ihre falsche Schwester liebten. Sie arbeitete und lernte zehnmal härter als alle anderen, nur um von ihnen akzeptiert zu werden. In ihrer Verzweiflung tappte sie törichterweise in eine Falle, die ihr ein böswilliger Mensch gestellt hatte, ohne zu wissen, dass ihre Handlungen zum Untergang ihrer Brüder und zu ihrer Verurteilung zum Tode im Gefängnis führen würden. Am Tag ihrer Hinrichtung hatte Penny nur einen Gedanken im Kopf: Wenn sie jemals in die Vergangenheit zurückkehren könnte, könnten ihre Brüder ihre falsche Schwester von ihr aus verwöhnen! Sie wollte nichts mit ihnen zu tun haben! Und zu ihrer großen Überraschung fand sich Penny an dem Tag wieder, an dem alles begann: am Tag ihrer Geburt. Wie versprochen, würde sie dieses Mal nicht töricht versuchen, die Liebe und Zuneigung ihrer Brüder zu verdienen. Vergiss die Familie! Sie würde einfach eine Menge Geld verdienen, im Luxus leben und eine eigene Familie gründen! Aber Moment mal, warum mischten sich ihre Brüder jetzt, wo sie nichts mehr mit ihnen zu tun haben wollte, ständig in ihre Angelegenheiten ein? Hätten sie nicht ihre falsche Schwester verwöhnen sollen? Warum lassen sie sie nicht in Ruhe?! Und wie um alles in der Welt war sie in diesem Leben verheiratet? Zu allem Überfluss meldete sich dieser Ehemann, den sie in ihrem ersten Leben nie hatte, plötzlich freiwillig als Vater ihrer Kinder?!

I'm just an ordinary girl who dances in a club to earn pennies to take care of my sister. However, one day, a man—sturdy, handsome, but pale—came to me and asked me to be his surrogate mother. He dared to pay me handsomely and threatened me if I didn't want to accept his offer. The next day, when I took the offer and did the quest as my new job, I knew that something strange had happened to him. He wasn't a man I thought and knew, but something else I'd never felt alive, and he obsessed and possessed me like his toy.

"What the fuck?! Kill God?! I get it but what's my reward?!" All Umbra ever wanted to do was to live a normal life, as a pseudo beggar and thief, prowling the streets of his new home, alongside his two friends. But clearly, Fate had other cruel plans in store for him. Umbra always knew that he was incredibly special in some way; he was some superlative magnet for bad luck. He'd thought that he could ignore all the quirky happenings by just fleeing from home. Umbra finds himself in a strange kingdom, worshipped and dreaded for bearing strange powers he know nothing about. Discovering yourself as the last descendant of a rare bloodline, famed for bloodshed and no existing shreds of humanity can be a tad unsettling. "Seriously...I beg to differ." But the worse is yet to come. Sure enough, a strange destiny is thrust upon him, an ancient decree passed down and misinterpreted to his previous ancestors. But in his turn, the prophecy is made pretty clear. To follow the path of Revenge and kill the most powerful being of all Time.

The air hung heavy with unspoken anxieties as Iris walked the sterile hospital corridors. A year. It had been a year since she’d received the devastating news: Iñigo, her beloved boyfriend, was dead. The pain still felt raw, a constant ache in her chest. She'd mourned him fiercely, the void his absence left echoing in her heart. Little did she know, the truth was far more complicated, twisted by a mother's disapproval and a desperate attempt to keep them apart. Iñigo’s mother, a woman whose disapproval Iris had always felt like a cold wind, had whisked him away to the States, a calculated move to sever their connection. She’d believed that distance, the vast expanse of the ocean, would be enough to erase Iris from Iñigo's life. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Dr. Millie’s voice, crisp and professional, broke through Iris’s somber thoughts. "Iris, you're assigned to assist the patient in Room 208. He was recently transferred from the U.S.A." The doctor handed her the file. Iris took it mechanically, her mind already racing. The familiar chill that always accompanied thoughts of Iñigo's mother settled over her. This was no coincidence. A strange premonition tightened its grip on her, a knot of dread forming in her stomach. She felt a cold dread creeping up her spine. As she approached Room 208, a wave of nausea washed over her. She hesitated, her hand trembling as she reached for the door handle. A deep breath, a silent prayer, and then—she opened the door. The sight that greeted her stole the breath from her lungs. There he was, pale but undeniably Iñigo, lying in the hospital bed. Time seemed to stop. The world dissolved into a dizzying blur of disbelief and overwhelming emotion. A strangled gasp escaped her lips. He was alive. The carefully constructed wall of grief she’d built around her heart crumbled. A torrent of emotions – shock, relief, disbelief, and a bitter taste of betrayal – flooded her. All the pain, the tears, the emptiness… all for nothing? The file slipped from her numb fingers, landing silently on the floor. He was alive, and his mother had lied.
