Cultivation Nori - Horror **Warning: This isn’t your typical cultivation story. If you're looking for a formulaic journey of power, turn back. This is for those who want their cultivation with teeth, grief, and gods that scream.** The Red Moon looms, its light bleeding across the ruins of a dead world. No voices remain, no echoes of the past, only the wind whispering through hollowed stone. Yet one figure still moves, tracing unseen steps beneath the crimson glow. The boy does not know how long he has wandered, nor why he alone remains. He remembers hunger, the weight of a knife at his hip, and the distant pull of something just beyond memory, a path he must walk, a dance he must complete. But the steps evade him, like a melody half-forgotten. There are things lurking in the dark, creatures that should not exist, bound to the moon's eerie cycle. Somewhere, beneath the veil of time, the truth is buried. Somewhere, within the forgotten rhythm of his own steps, the answer awaits. And when the dance begins again, it will either set him free or consume him entirely.

In a world once protected by the eternal Guardian God, peace shattered when the deity met an inexplicable and untimely death. With the divine order broken, the land plunged into chaos. From the ashes of tranquility, a trial known as "The Stage" was born—a brutal contest where the most powerful beings of creation vie to shape the future. Constellations, ancient entities from across myth and legend, descend from their celestial realms to offer their blessings, each seeking to crown their chosen vessel as the next Guardian God. A new age teeters on the brink, its fate hanging on the outcome of this grim selection. Amid the strife, a lone figure rises—blessed by an unnamed Constellation, shrouded in mystery. Burdened with the mantle of destiny, this vessel must navigate a world consumed by power struggles, betrayal, and the looming shadow of an ancient secret, all while contending for the right to rule as the new Guardian God.

"How the hell did I even get here?!?" The last thing I remember was the banquet... and now here I am, in the abyss. ...System. So that thing orchestrated this whole mess? Why? What have I done to deserve this? What is this system? Doesn't matter. If it shows even the slightest sign of endangering my family... I'll crush it. Hah. Big talk, small mouth. First, I need to get out of here. I need to grow stronger. Unfortunately or perhaps, fortunately Lucian's journey wouldn't end in the abyss. Fate had other plans much bigger ones. This was just the beginning. Beyond this darkness lay The Last Horizon... and he was determined to reach it. __________ Character illustrations will be available on Discord.

Ava’s marriage was nothing like she had anticipated. Despite being married to the man she loved, she had endured nothing but humiliation and misery from her husband for the past five years. She put up with everything in the hopes of one day carving out a space in his heart. But her husband ultimately drove her to the breaking point when he handed her the divorce papers on their fifth anniversary, claiming that he loved someone else. He had taken all her family assets her father had left for her. The shocking truth that the man she had been in love with for ten years had caused her father’s death was the blow Ava couldn’t take it. Devastated, Ava didn’t want to give birth to his child in her womb. “I loved you with all my heart and gave you everything, but you ruined me and my family, Dylan Brooks. I won’t give you this baby. This baby belongs to me and will go with me to the grave. A cruel man like you don’t deserve to be a father,” Ava said as she slit her wrist. "I regret loving you, Dylan. I wish I’ll never see you again in my next life." These were her last words before she drifted into the lap of death. She thought this was the end of her life. But fate had other plans. She woke up in the past, four years ago, on the day of their first wedding anniversary. Since she was given another chance to rectify her mistakes, she vowed to protect her father and the family business. She resolved to cut all ties with her ruthless husband. But wait! Why did Dylan act so possessive and caring? Why did he declare she was the only one he wanted as his wife? Should she believe him and give him another chance? Or should she take revenge on him for what he did in her past life? “Please, Ava…come back to me,” Dylan pleaded with Ava on his knees. “I’m ready to atone my mistakes. I’ll do everything to make you happy. Just don’t leave me, okay? Tell me, what can I do to get your forgiveness?” Ava stared coldly at the man who had ruined her in her previous life. “Do you want my forgiveness? Then hand over everything to me, Dylan. I want you to feel the same agony I did."

For years, Alaric Eden lived in exile, a forgotten warrior buried beneath the snow and silence of the North. But the past never truly let go. When the time came, and Aldred Everest—the last heir of House Everest—rose to reclaim his birthright, there was only one man who could stand at his side. Reluctant at first, Alaric could not ignore the call of duty. Bound by loyalty to the Everest name, he emerged from his solitude, once more donning his armor, not for glory, but for justice. He became Aldred’s mentor, protector, and warlord, shaping the young heir into a leader worthy of the North. Their journey was not an easy one. The kingdom had long forgotten House Everest, and their enemies—House Walles and the treacherous King Alden—still ruled with an iron grip. Aldred had to earn the loyalty of the fractured northern houses, unite old allies, and awaken the Valtoria Legion, the last remnants of his father’s legacy. Through battlefields drenched in snow and blood, through whispered plots and perilous alliances, Alaric and Aldred carved a path toward vengeance. From the frozen ruins of Valtoria to the golden gates of King’s Haven, they fought, endured, and finally stood before the man who had stolen everything from them. And when the time for reckoning came, it was Alaric Eden—the Legend of Everest—who struck the first blow, ensuring that the North would never be betrayed again.

In the remote, fog-shrouded town of Millhaven, superstition holds sway, and silence is salvation. Embarrassed radio DJ Jack Mercer is back in his hometown in one final attempt at salvaging his career, going live on a Halloween broadcast to reveal the town's darkest tale: the Revenant, a ghost said to take one soul every decade. But Millhaven's inhabitants—tightly lipped and haunted by centuries of guilt—won't talk about the curse, forcing Jack to rummage through decaying archives and deserted buildings for clues. When he discovers a decades-old diary of Evelyn Carter, a woman who disappeared while searching for the Revenant, Jack learns a chilling truth: the villagers' forebears summoned the creature, sacrificing lives for temporary peace. Jack knows the Revenant is no legend as his broadcast plans come apart—equipment breaking down, figures haunting the abandoned town hall. It's alive. And it's hungry. Halloween night, Jack's live broadcast, and the town's suppressed transgressions boil over. The listeners are overwhelmed by shrieked voices through static images of their worst regrets. Cornered in the hall with the Revenant's claws around his throat, Jack is presented with a terrible decision: die to shatter the cycle or escape, dooming Millhaven to perpetual suffering. But the Revenant has an endless hunger, and Jack's broadcast—a twisted, repeating scream—could have released the curse into the world. A terrifying investigation of guilt, complicity, and the price of truth, The Last Broadcast poses the question: What if the things we bury never die? And what if the horror we dread most is the horror we've already become?

The Last Offering By Zanbaq Alma "There is no greater sacrifice than the one made in love. But love alone cannot stop the abyss from hungering." For centuries, the city of Ashkar has upheld a chilling tradition the centennial offering. Every hundred years, one life is chosen to descend into the abyss, a sacrifice meant to appease the ancient darkness lurking below. When seventeen-year-old Seraphine’s beloved younger brother is selected, she refuses to accept his fate. Driven by love and defiance, she takes his place, willingly stepping into the unknown. But the abyss is not what the council claimed it to be. Beneath the city lies a cursed labyrinth where past offerings linger some as whispers in the dark, others as monstrous creatures barely clinging to humanity. At the heart of it all is the Ancient One, a being that was once human, now corrupted by centuries of sacrifice and greed. As Seraphine navigates the abyss’s horrors, she uncovers long-buried secrets: the truth behind the ritual, the city’s bloodstained past, and a prophecy that ties her fate to the darkness itself. With the help of Aric, a scarred survivor of the last offering, and Kael, a rogue cultist seeking redemption, she must challenge the cycle of sacrifice before she, too, is consumed. But the abyss changes those who enter it. And as the darkness seeps into her soul, Seraphine must decide will she destroy the abyss, or become its last and greatest offering? A dark fantasy tale of sacrifice, corruption, and the fine line between monster and savior.

"That's war. War that's gone on for too long now. All the people know is blood." Fred tries to reason with me again, his whisper becoming more heated, "you're the leader of our people, the last of the touched. You have to take us out of here. You have to save the pups." I shake my head and whisper back to him, "The 11th house will follow me to the ends of the earth to extinguish my family's line after what my father did. If I lead you, I just doom you all." My beta, Fred, struggles to control his wolf and grips my arm, "We're even more doomed without you." I only have one way to truly save my people and that's to replace the murdered queen. I'm of the blood, as the last touched I can challenge the rites at any time to claim her throne. This was always my privilege, instilled in me since birth. Though I had no desire to take on her mantle, she'd been a kind enough monarch. I had no choice now. If I became queen my pack would replace the 11th as the royal pack and they'd become untouchable by the other houses. It was a gamble, one that would likely kill me, but it was the only play that I had left. And so, dear reader, this is the story of how I signed up for my own doom. How I became the willing participant in the rite of queens.
