She Who Fears Death

She woke up after six years in a coma—to a world that had buried her, a husband who tried to erase her, and a billionaire who would burn it all down just to keep her

A Lazy man awakens in a vast, unfamiliar hall, surrounded by strangers who, like him, have no recollection of how they arrived. Panic spreads as the group struggles to make sense of their predicament. Among them, a charismatic leader named Arthur Francis emerges, urging order and cooperation. But Bernard remains distant, skeptical of both the people around him and the situation itself. As tensions rise, a cloaked figure wielding a scythe descends, delivering a chilling proclamation: Welcome to the Death Realm. The group soon learns that they are trapped in a world between life and death, forced to confront trials that will determine their fate. Some will prove their worth, others will succumb to despair, and secrets about their pasts—and the true nature of the Death Realm—will slowly unravel. With danger lurking at every turn, Bernard must decide whether to embrace Arthur’s leadership or forge his own path. But in a realm where trust is fleeting and survival is not guaranteed, one question haunts them all: Why were they chosen?

"Alex it hurts, stop!" "you can't run away from me Amy,no matter how hard you try.....I have restrained my self from filling my body with your blood but yet you're fu*king running away from me...tell me Amy" he yanked her hand closer to him inhaling her scent which puts him at ease

This is the tale of a man who committed a crime in his lands. He touched Ars and awakened. The leader, in his fury, sent him for his death, but before Charles could process what happened to him or what his power means, a Corrupted Eruption occurred, and the entity Ars chose him as a Challenger. He was given the chance to keep his life, but perhaps death would serve him better than to participate in the worst of the games, manipulated by the hands of his majesty, the one behind the curtains. There, on an island, he would face the darkest of humans and wicked creatures, and to win the game as the sole participant, he would need more than his will and newfound powers. --- What to expect? - You can check the bestiary, characters and map here: https://fear.travelerspentales.com/ - The world is the same as in my other novel, Traveler’s Will. Named Ars. So if you want to understand Awakening, Ars and Eruption better, please check out the main novel. - The MC is an adult. Smart and know how to read people. - First Person Point Of View (my first try). My other novel is Third Person Point of View. - Dark Grim Settings: If you enjoy Dark Souls, Berserk, and Cosmic Horror, then you may enjoy it. - Philosophy and Psychology: I’m a huge fan of Dostoiévski and Robert Musil. While this isn’t the focus, you can expect some snippets about existential turmoil and psychological introspection. - Unique System, known as ‘Ars System.'. Light LitRPG elements included, such as window. - Fast plot with lots of battles against creatures and other people. - No harem. - Not a “huge” story. I aim for about 90 chapters. But if it got readers and I enjoy it, I can continue expanding the story. - Chapter length around 1.5~2.5k words. - Release rate: 2–3 a week. I must be done with it until near the end of the year. - My main focus is still my other novel, Traveler’s Will, so if you want to read more of the Ars World, please give it a chance. It’s a slow-burn fantasy with the first arc already completed.

Hello everyone. I'm the creator of the horror short story collection *We Are the Fear*. For me, creating this work is like embarking on an exciting journey to explore the dark corners deep within the human soul. It's also a fantastical adventure of translating the thrilling inspirations surging in my heart into words. For a long time, the horror genre has had an irresistible appeal to me. The unknown and dangers lurking beneath the surface of daily life always stir up my boundless imagination. Many moments in life, whether it's the eerie shadow cast by an ancient building or the sudden strange sounds in the dead of night, can become the sparks for my creation, lighting the fuse of one terrifying story after another. I'm enthusiastic about excavating the most hidden and fragile parts of human nature. In my opinion, the complexity of human nature is an inexhaustible wellspring for horror stories. Everyone has seeds of fear within. It could be the fear of loneliness, the worry about loss, or the awe of unknown forces. I attempt to amplify these emotions in my works, placing them in extreme situations to showcase the diverse reactions of human nature in the face of fear. Each story in *We Are the Fear* is a painstakingly crafted crystallization of horror. I'm dedicated to creating an atmosphere that can make readers' hearts pound and send chills down their spines. Starting with environmental descriptions, I use delicate strokes to sketch out gloomy scenes, enabling readers to feel as if they're on the scene and experience the chilling sensation that rushes towards them. Then, I delve into the characters' inner worlds, depicting their psychological changes when confronted with horror, so that readers can truly empathize with the characters' fear and despair. When it comes to the narrative rhythm, I strive to achieve a proper balance. I artfully set suspense, keeping readers in a state of high tension and curiosity throughout the reading process, eager to uncover the mystery. And at appropriate times, I slow down the pace, giving readers a brief moment of respite while inadvertently planting new foreshadows to prepare for the next onslaught of fear. I hope this book can bring readers an ultimate horror experience. While reading, they can feel the excitement of an adrenaline rush, and after closing the book, they can sink into profound contemplation about human nature and the unknown. *We Are the Fear* is not merely a collection of stories; it's a testament to my love and pursuit of horror literature. I hope it can touch the unique perception of horror deep within each reader's heart.

“what? She killed her own son?” Whispers like those filled the air, everywhere she walked. “Gosh, what a monster!” All sound suddenly stopped the moment she went into the church, getting on her knees, and closing both hands that shook out of fear, starvation and a bit of something else together. “father… please forgive me.” Her eyes closed, and she pressed her head onto the ground. The wonderful statue that stood Almighty above her shined always. “I beg for your forgiveness dear father.” She said again but this time in a Shaky voice, tears nearly now rolling out her eyes. The door opened and a tall handsome man walked in. That man was her husband, and he looked at her with disgust. “Dakota…” she turned while still being on her knees, her hand reaching for his legs, but then, he moved back. Avoiding her completely. “now you come here for forgiveness?” he nearly scoffed Her eyes widened. Her husband too? She chuckled, tears pricking the side of her eyes. Her beautiful blond hair had became messy, and her complexion turned pale, her finger nails looked like they needed serious manicure. “it… it wasn’t my fault… it wasn’t.” She sobbed, but instead of him comforting her, he only turned his back. She looked up and the door slammed hard, silence staying still with her. “Dakota?” in a weak pleading voice, she called, and after no response, clenched her fists. Why did she have to get punished for what wasn’t even her fault? She sobbed once again, this time, uncontrollably. Her eyes now swelling with tears, and her hands trying to brush them away. It kept on coming. “what have I done for everyone to point hatred to me? Huh?!…”veronica looked down at the knife they usually used for slicing the bread, it seemed they had forgotten it this time. she took the knife, hesitant at first, but after getting deeper into realization that no one was coming to stop her, pressed it against her neck. “everyone has turned their backs on me when I needed them… so,” a smile tainted her lips. “I atone for all, my sins.” Splash!

She is crazy and he is just as crazy as she was.. Beatrix and Helion.. just read and have fun.

He made the decision to alter his course, give up on romance, and concentrate on writing which had always been his passion. He decided on penning a book on criminals. Which led him to delve into dark waters and this is where his passion for the weird began. He began staring into the night while he conducted research for his book, progressively revealing perilous secrets. His world had been invaded by a sinister and mysterious entity, keeping him captive in his flat as the entity now controlled everything that touched him.
