She was a bride on her wedding day. By morning, she was a slave in chains. Aurelia’s world ends the moment it should’ve begun. Her wedding dress still clings to her skin when demons slaughter her husband and drag her from everything she’s ever loved. Sold at auction like cattle, her worth is measured in gold—not screams. And her buyer? He is Tenebrarum Mortifer—the demon whose name turns kings to ash. Cold. Cruel. Untouchable. He didn’t buy her for love. He bought her to break her. But Aurelia does not shatter. Her grief becomes fire. Her hatred, a blade. And the more she resists, the more the monster who owns her begins to unravel. What began as torment twists into something far more dangerous. She was meant to be his plaything. Now, she’s the one breaking him. --- In a kingdom ruled by demons, where broken girls burn brighter than magic—can a soul forged in grief ignite a love even hell can’t destroy?

Evan Smith never imagined war. As a blacksmith’s son, he was a quiet boy from a quiet village, content to live his days without venturing beyond home. But when the empire’s banners turned inward and enemy boots crossed the border, his village became nothing more than a battleground between two merciless forces. Families disappeared. Silence replaced food. Soldiers, both foreign and familiar, came not as protectors but as plunderers. There were no heroes or rebels, only commands to obey… or graves to fill. With nothing left to bury and no place left to flee, Evan embarks on a journey he never wanted — through war camps, ravaged towns, and dark forests, searching for something even he doesn’t fully understand: a reason to keep going. What he discovers is a truth no child should ever face — The world’s cruelty doesn’t come from monsters, but from men. In a land where hope is forbidden and justice forgotten, Darkness Beyond follows one overlooked life through the slow, suffocating death of peace, questioning whether an ordinary boy can still decide what kind of man he will become… when all the light has vanished.

Alaric, a feared and ruthless vampire, has long been a nightmare to both his own kind and humans alike. One cold evening, he is ambushed by six vampire hunters and left for dead. But before death can claim him, a human boy stumbles upon him and offers aid. This small act of kindness stirs something deep within Alaric’s ancient heart—an obsession. Now, Enzo is his, whether he realizes it or not.

When guarded bookseller Lena discovers her grandmother’s hidden diary, she uncovers a dangerous truth—one tied to architect Ryan’s father’s mysterious death. Trapped together during a hurricane, they unravel a conspiracy buried in blueprints and betrayal, while fighting an attraction as volatile as the storm outside. But the powerful Calloway family will kill to keep these secrets buried. Some legacies aren’t inherited—they’re stolen. (The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets Verity in this romantic suspense full of shocking twists, slow-burn tension, and a love story written in secrets.)

In a world once ruled by a god, betrayal shattered heaven itself. The most powerful angels, demons, and dragons turned on their creator — and in the chaos, the god was slain. But one angel stayed loyal. Broken and powerless, he made a pact with an ancient being — Nytheris, the darkness itself. Now, a thousand years later, darkness awakens again… in the form of a human boy named Kaen, reborn to shake the realms.

In a world where survival is dictated by The Veil, an ancient force that selects unwilling souls for its brutal trials, death is often a mercy. Those who fail are erased. Those who endure return changed—feared, hunted, and burdened with power. Hope was never meant to be among them. A scavenger scraping by in the lawless outskirts, he lived by one rule: stay unnoticed, stay alive. He had no grand ambitions, no thirst for strength—only the will to see another day. But when The Veil marks him, he is cast into The Ashlands, a realm where nightmares take form, and survival means facing horrors beyond comprehension. Armed with nothing but his cunning, Hope fights to stay alive. He has no allies, no faith in heroics—only desperation. But when he survives his first trial, he is granted something far more dangerous than mere strength—the power of the God of Darkness. A force that does not only obey him, but watches, whispers, and waits.

Born into shame and shadow, Rael Nightbane was the son of a slave girl—forced and discarded by the arrogant young master of the prestigious Nightbane Clan. Marked from birth as a stain on the clan’s honor, Rael endured a life of scorn and cruelty. On the sacred day of Talent Awakening, his humiliation was complete: the revered 12-ring column failed to shine even the faintest light for him. Power is everything in Rael’s world, and to be talentless is to be nothing. Branded as worthless, his existence became unbearable. But when his twisted stepbrothers conspired to end his life—casting him into a deadly river to be devoured by water beasts—fate intervened. At the river’s dark bottom, a mysterious black hole beckoned. As it tried to consume him, something ancient stirred within Rael’s bloodline. Instead of death, he found rebirth. The void awakened a power long buried in his veins. Dark matter surged into him, merging with his soul. From that abyss, Rael rose—no longer a powerless outcast, but a harbinger of vengeance, shrouded in shadows. His true inheritance had awakened, and it was darker—and more powerful—than anyone could have imagined. Now, as the Duke of Darkness, he returns not just to survive, but to dominate. Those who mocked him will beg for mercy. Those who hurt his mother will wish they’d never been born. And the Nightbane Clan? They will remember his name—for they are first in line to suffer his wrath.

The shadows lurked, its whispers a fearful caress to the heart. A word of it begot omen and doom is the person who sees it. The world was evolving, creatures emerging and some going instinct, but one rule remained among the humans, "BEWARE OF THE NIGHT CREATURES." Ophelia, tossed and turned by the cruel wind and unfortunate side of the world found herself embracing the very shadow that was feared by many. The shadow which always haunted her. Not only was she haunted, but she was also the reason the shadow lurked. Its darkness deftly intertwined with the course of her life, bringing to light secrets locked away in the abyss. Secrets which led her to the arms of the one whose statements remained of evil. Rumors of her prevailed, each one more abhorrent than the other. While most of the rumors were false, there were specks of truth in them. However, in the dance of darkness, its drums beaten by the shadows, everything and every danger she faced culminated on the day she was bitten by the very creature humans termed evil and vile. She was his pawn, his amusement to be poked, his first bite. Her blood the first to ink his fangs, had unbeknownst to him formed a forbidden and sacred bond that could not be severed unless she died. Gone from his play toy to the number one on his kill list, Ophelia found herself confronting dangers that she, no matter how hard she tried, could never win against. When the game of chase and death slowly evolves into an unspoken spark-like trail of shadows weaving in the hearts of the predator and the prey, Ophelia is conflicted about the path to follow. The path to toss the dangers aside and embrace the whispers of her heart— or, the path to heed the warnings of her heart and run further from her predator. Unfortunately, in the dance of the cruel hand of fate, whichever way she took, he was always there like a shadow ready to entrap her. SHE WAS HIS FIRST BITE AND HE WAS HER SHADOW.

Time’s broken. Like actually broken. Not just “oops, we messed something up.” I mean timelines are crashing into each other, and reality is glitching like it’s stuck on a scratched CD from 2003. If that even makes sense anymore. Monster if we can even call it that, are pouring out disrupting the peace of the realm. Six guardians. Not chosen. Not ready. Just... stuck. Thrown together with no warning, no real plan, and barely enough patience to not strangle each other. They have to fight this monsters that are indestructible altogether keeping time from crumbling. It all started with the crack in the Hearthstone. One little fracture and then boom everything unraveled. The past? It’s not staying where it’s supposed to. The present? Confused. The future? Probably dead. They’re supposed to fix it. Fix time. Yeah, no pressure. And it’s not just “run around and close the rift.” Because the deeper they get, the messier it all becomes. There are secrets none of them want to say out loud. Betrayals that haven’t even happened yet but still somehow already hurt. Love that might not survive this. Hate that probably will. And the worst part? The balance between realms? The thing everyone thought was keeping the world in check? Fake. It was never real. Just a story to keep people calm. Now everything’s falling apart. Fast. And time? Time doesn’t care if they’re tired or scared or unprepared, It’s not waiting. So yeah, buckle in. Or don’t. This is a wild, reckless, probably doomed ride through timelines, trials, and way too many truths. Every second counts. Even the ones they wish they could take back.

Muzan loved Kimtaru dearly, but mistakenly believed she had died with her mother. As a result, he had no idea that his daughter had survived.
