Banchou Of The Dead

A year after the tragic disappearance of his wife, Emily, Daniel Carter is still haunted by unanswered questions. The official reports say she’s dead, but no body was ever found. The grief is suffocating, but Daniel has forced himself to move on—until one night, his phone rings. The caller ID reads a name that shouldn't exist anymore. Emily. At first, he thinks it’s a cruel joke. But then he hears her voice, whispering a chilling message: "Daniel… stop digging." From that moment, his world spirals into madness. The next day, he finds a coin—just like the one Emily used to carry—engraved with the same warning. The deeper he looks, the stranger things become. The phone company confirms Emily's number was disconnected a year ago. There are no call records. No one believes him. As Daniel follows the cryptic clues, he starts uncovering things about Emily’s past that he never knew—secrets she buried deep, connections to people who seem just as eager for him to stop his search. And every time he gets too close, another warning appears… or worse, another call from his dead wife. But if Emily is truly gone, then who’s calling him? And if she’s still alive… then why is she so desperate for him to stop? With time running out and danger closing in, Daniel must decide—does he risk everything to uncover the truth, or does he heed Emily’s warning and turn back before it’s too late? Because some secrets aren’t meant to be unearthed. And sometimes, the dead don’t rest because they were never dead to begin with.

A regular guy finds himself inside a novel’s world. Not as the hero. Not as the villain. Just some extra doomed to obscurity. But he won’t accept that. He’ll fight, grow stronger, and carve out his own path. With a system in hand and countless opportunities ahead, he’s ready to flip the script. He would’ve become an unstoppable powerhouse. Except for the fact that he dies before the story even begins. It wasn’t fate. It wasn’t bad luck. Someone made sure he wouldn’t survive. But here’s the thing about stories, once they start, they don’t stop just because the main character is gone. And sometimes… the forgotten refuse to stay that way.

* * * The Synopsis will be in the Glossary* * * * * * This is my first novel and I don’t expect it to be good since I’m just starting out and doing this as a practice test. So please read my story and critique it. I want to know what I did or am doing wrong and how to improve or what to learn from it. I am well aware that my story would never get close to a 9 since I’m new at this, but I’m at the very least aiming for a 7 or a 7.5 rating. I am more than willing to accept criticism, and I understand if I wrote something stupid, but please don’t give me an overly negative attitude about it. * * * – 「Authors Notes」 - I will do what I can to keep chapters around or over 1500 words per chapter. - Since I am new and have a job, I will do my best to hopefully complete at least one chapter within two or three weeks until I improve and can hopefully reduce that time. - As a new writer, I will definitely make a lot of mistakes, so I would definitely appreciate it if you could help point out if and when I make grammatical errors, contradictions, and retcon things. I will try to go back and fix my mistakes on my own, but I would appreciate it if you could spot me on them as well. - I plan on having a semi big cast of characters. I understand that multiple POVs can be annoying and ruin the story or pacing or both so I promise to do my best to focus solely on my big 3. - One thing I really liked about a popular anime I liked was how they included bits of information, such as abilities, unique equipment, enemies, locations, and other details about the world before and after the short commercial break so I plan on trying to have some short notes/information about the world at the bottom of some chapters. Though you can also find them in the bloodborne wiki or YouTube videos. * * * Thank you for choosing to read my novel, I hope it's something you look forward to reading * * *
