Sojourne

Z_Zee
Growing up without a father, Seijuro, enters a forbidden tomb with his younger brother, Ren, hoping to find valuables to support their struggling family. Instead, Seijuro unknowingly breaks open an ancient seal, releasing powerful entities, the Nyxion, formed from being corrupted by dark matter or Tenebris. The consequences are immediate and devastating: Ren is taken and transformed, leaving Seijuro powerless to save him. Seijuro is captured by the Fear Foundation, an organization of mages who protect humanity from supernatural entities known as fears, manifestations born from extreme trauma. Rather than killing Ren outright, the Foundation condenses his soul into a weapon, preventing him from remaining as a mindless monster. Though Ren still exists, his body is gone, binding him permanently to Seijuro’s guilt. Judged responsible for unleashing a greater threat, Seijuro is given a choice: submit to the Fear Foundation’s brutal training or be executed. Clinging to the hope that he can one day restore his brother, Seijuro accepts. As he begins his training under the Captains, he learns that not all of them share the same ideals, some believe humanity itself must be erased to prevent fears from ever forming. With a world full of different ideologies, only time will tell which path Seijuro will take.

Surviving A Novel I Don't Remember: A Tutor's Guide To Staying Alive

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child barely spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son slowly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm conversations, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Empire started falling apart. A masked criminal began tearing through the capital, and Julian started waking up with missing memories and an unsettling sense of déjà vu. No wounds. No explanations. Just the feeling that something had happened—and that he was better off not remembering it. He had thought he was the one being hunted. But the higher the Duke's affection climbed, the more frequent the blackouts became, and the more a terrifying possibility took shape. He came here to survive the story. Now, he was starting to suspect the Duke wasn't protecting him from the plot at all… He was protecting the plot from him.
