Five ex-cons, one rundown food van, and a dream to go legit. Alright, alright. Gather 'round. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, young and old. Here’s the gist: What does a former soldier, a runaway noble princess, a delinquent highschool student, a recently released prisoner and a former villager all have in common? They all need to eat and money to stay alive, whether directly or indirectly. However, the five of them as you can see have no skills of the culinary arts. So with their rents, jobs, families or whole livelihood on the line to keep their simple shop going, do you think they would handle this like normal lived individuals? Nope. They've already survived a Civil War, so whats a simple shop going to do them? However, just like their shadows, their pasts all haunt and follow them. Will their past traumas? Relationships? Friends? Enemies? Family? Or society decide their course of action? One solved murder doesn’t stop all crime.  One war doesn’t disappear into thin air.  One breakup doesn't mean to remain single. One smile doesn’t mean that all is fine. These five have a job to do. One job. Get the shop running again. Even if it means pretending to be nobility or dancing with nothing but body paint with native tribes. They have a mission to complete. Five pairs of Eyes to see this mission through. Five secrets to be revealed. Which eyes will you follow?

"What the fuck" aren't the best words to start your day with but they were Emily's first words when she woke up under a tree five hundred years back in time.

She's the first born of three girls, so by birth right she is to become Alpha of the Shadow moon pack. Although the pack elders were against having a female alpha they accepted. Everything was going great for her, until she woke up one day only to find her self centuries back. What makes it more complicated is when she discovers that her mate is from a different time line. Will she choose to be with her mate in a different century or will she try to find a way back to the twenty first century and become Alpha?

I'm invisible, blamed, betrayed, and made fun of. Every day I woke up to endure every single same thing as days, weeks, months, and years passed. My life was a living cycle of someone who died while still living. I was brutally bullied, hurt, and accused in the midst of chaos as the rain poured on me, noises of vehicles cut through the sound of rain, and strangers eyes came, looking at me with fear and hatred as male students from my school ran after me with their sinister grins. On that same exact day, after getting home with my body full of wounds and bruises, my phone rang, and it made my life even more of a living hell. The novel that is keeping me alive and compose drop dead. [It is over] [We're sorry but we will no longer continue the story of 'world of mystery'] [Discontinued] ...I want to die. Tired, I closed my eyes, and my body fell. It becomes slowly cold, and the sound of rain slowly fades. I couldn't lift a finger. I realized I have no feeling, no strength. Suddenly a metallic voice with imagery of words come up in the pit of darkness. [You've been chosen to continue my webtoon, I wish you all the Good luck.] [You have died] before I knew it I died. [Removing the memories of world of mystery to your experience and brain] [World of mystery will be restart.]

In a fractured world born from cosmic chaos, a legendary assassin known only as St4 lives by the blade and vanishes with the wind—silent, lethal, and alone. At just 21, he’s carved his place in the underworld, surviving off blood money and precision kills. But everything changes when the universe is torn open by a reality-shattering event known as the Descent of the Unknown—a catastrophe that violently merges countless realms. People are ripped from their homes and hurled into unfamiliar worlds. Time stretches. Laws of existence crumble. And the veil between life and death is destroyed. The dead return, whispering the secrets of their demise, unleashing chaos upon a society not ready to face the truth. As tremors ravage the earth for an entire year, the worlds slowly stabilize—fused into a strange, broken whole teeming with ancient power and forgotten horrors. Now trapped in this new, unstable existence, St4—real name KA, a truth buried deep—must survive in a world where others have trained far longer and wield powers he’s never encountered. Forced to rely on his assassin instincts, KA becomes a reluctant player in a cosmic game, haunted by spirits, hunted by enemies, and pulled toward a destiny that refuses to let him hide.

In the underbelly of Atlanta, assassin-for-hire Luke Hayes lives by a simple code: the highest bidder wins. But when a routine hit turns into a trap, Luke wakes up fused with Vyzrath, a shadow-born demon from a dying world. The pain is excruciating. The voice in his head is worse.

Elias Varn was a forensic investigator haunted by a case he could never close, the Mirrormaker, a serial killer who murdered by reflection and vanished without a trace. When Elias pushed a young witness too far and the boy took his own life, guilt consumed him. His career ended in scandal. His life unraveled in silence. Until the day he woke in a world not his own. A world of ashen skies, twisted ruins, and entities that shouldn’t exist. Here, spirits, monsters, and demons thrive under a terrifying power system ranked from White (weakest) to Gray (strongest), each tier fractured into nine levels. Elias is marked as an Echo-Touched, a rare human able to perceive and interact with the deadliest layers of reality. His only clues to survival are a shattered mirror pendant, whispers of a forgotten ritual, and the echo of a child’s scream carried through the fog. Each horror he faces in this world is not random, but personal. The Mirrormaker is here too. Or something like it. And it remembers him. To survive, Elias must unravel the mystery behind the Gray Eclipse, a world-ending phenomenon whispered by dying seers. To resist it, he must confront not just monsters, but every version of himself the darkness twists and reflects. For every level of power he gains, something inside him is lost: sanity, memory, and humanity. But the deeper he climbs through the color-tiered horrors, the more one question becomes clear: What if the monster that brought him here… was born from him?

Armed with the full memories of his past life, Ashen vows to change fate, seek vengeance against his enemies, and protect those he once failed to save.
