They were told to forget. They chose to remember. Now the world will burn. In the fractured realm of Oruin, where power is measured in bloodlines and secrets, the ancient Guardians once bound reality with sacred laws. But those laws were broken—and the truth was buried. Enter Grim, a reluctant prodigy with a storm raging beneath his skin. After surviving a mysterious experiment and a deadly clash with royalty, Grim discovers he carries more than scars—he holds a piece of something forbidden. Something that should have stayed locked behind time and flame. When his awakening draws the attention of the Blank Court—a secret order seeking to shatter the boundary between worlds—Grim and his four powerful siblings are forced into the heart of a war long erased from history. Each is chosen by a lost Guardian, each tested by realms of myth and madness. But even their newfound strength may not be enough. Allies become enemies. And if Grim cannot master his fire, his storm, and the shadows hunting him—then the very fabric of existence may fall to ash.

He was once a kind boy — loyal to family, faithful to love, and full of hope. But kindness means nothing in a world that spits on your loyalty. Roman died betrayed. His stepbrother beat him. His girlfriend cheated. His family used him like a slave — and when the world ended, they threw him to the undead. But death wasn’t the end. Roman was reborn — weeks before the apocalypse that would erase humanity. And this time? No more mercy. No more weakness. This time, Roman builds his empire in the shadows, manipulates nations, steals resources before the collapse, and creates a stronghold while the world sleeps peacefully — blind to the hell that’s coming. > What?! A supermarket in New York is completely wiped out overnight! Japan’s largest food storage warehouse was found empty — zero inventory, massive losses. Similar cases in South Korea and Australia? No trace, no witnesses. Just... gone. One man is preparing. One man is rising. Roman. But just when he thinks he's the only one pulling the strings in the dark... Others begin to move. Reincarnated. Ruthless. Just like him. The game is no longer survival. It's domination. In this new world, only one king can rule from the shadows. And Roman will burn the world before he kneels.

Ren has never known kindness. He grew up alone in the slums, learning to survive by staying out of sight and trusting no one. One night, he stumbles into a strange tunnel and finds a hidden shrine forgotten by time. There, he sees a black cat with golden eyes and hears a voice inside his head. The shrine is more than it seems. So is the cat. As Ren is pulled into something ancient and mysterious, he must decide if he's willing to take a different step in life or keep running from the world that hurt him. Because the city doesn't care if he lives or dies, but something in the dark might.

Malo Jorin was once a quiet boy—until the world shattered him. Now trapped in flesh that feels alien, he teeters between man and monster.

For a thousand years, the Empire of Verdun has ruled in peace and prosperity, rising from the ashes of the Great War to become the strongest force the world has ever known. But history has a way of circling back—and now, something ancient, something long buried, is beginning to stir. Forgotten secrets are resurfacing. Strange forces are gathering in the shadows. And the empire’s golden age may soon come crashing down. In the midst of this looming storm, a boy awakens in a desolate forest—alone, wounded, and with no memory of who he is. He has no name, no past to cling to—only questions that lead to more mysteries. Taken in by strangers, he begins to piece together a world on the brink of change: rulers tightening their grip, unrest brewing in the outer provinces, and whispers of powers that defy even the empire’s might. But the boy is different. Something in him doesn’t belong to this era. Something ancient moves beneath his skin—something the world has forgotten, but will soon remember. As rebellion simmers and old powers reawaken, the nameless boy stands at the heart of it all. His fate, and the fate of Verdun, are bound together. He must uncover the truth of who he is... before the empire’s final hour strikes. One thing is certain—the world of Verdun will never be the same again. And neither will he. {Disclaimer - I've used third party for translation purposes as english is my third language, thank you for understanding.}

But beneath the academy lies a darker war—a secret vampire order rising, a kingdom of ancient blood reawakening, and Kael standing in the middle of it all.

Time is your lifeline. Lose it, and you die. Steal it, and you survive—maybe. After dying under mysterious circumstances, William Chandler, a master thief with a dark past, awakens in Purgatory, a twisted afterlife where survival is decided by a deadly System Guide. Here, time is the only currency. Every second you lose brings you closer to permanent erasure. And the rules? They're always changing. The only constant? Trust no one. Except William’s Guide is glitched. His abilities don’t make sense. His time doesn’t drain properly. And sometimes… it fights back. Even kills for him. But a glitch in the system doesn’t make him safe. It makes him a target. Thrown into deadly games like “Snakes and Ladders”, chased by man-eating plants, and hunted by people desperate to live another hour, William must navigate a world of lies, loopholes, and looming extinction — with only a broken system to rely on. And if he ever wants to uncover why he was really sent here, he’ll have to outwit the Game Master, the other players, and the system itself. --- Warning: This story contains psychological tension, survival horror elements, morally grey characters, and emotional moments that may ruin your night’s sleep.
