Kiss X Reaper

Hello Reader! If you love old lore, a dense magic system, action-first storytelling, sweeping cosmology, a multinational stage, bold color imagery, and fights that reward imagination and attention to detail - you might like this! Before you dive in, read the story synopsis. Sankyuu! Note: Deviants in this story are dark-energy illuminators, predators that feed on the opposing Natural Energy which sustains life and balance in the world. Ancient Eyes are primordial deities, beings who have lived for hundreds to thousands of years, created to uphold balance and wield immense power. Or at least, that was their purpose. They are folklore entities, widely known and feared, each ruling over vast domains across the world. If these concepts intrigue you, then don’t miss the story! Yukie Saku, the ancient Eye of Snow and coldness throughout the world, has been stripped of much of her power and comes to the Grand Opera House seeking answers. There she meets Makoto Shirogane, the polite, inscrutable director from a once-great samurai house who, to the casual eye, seems merely formal and composed. What Yukie does not know at first is far darker: Makoto is not just a Hunter of Deviants, who's two centuries old, and a man with secrets that span generations, his grand depth is more than everyone thinks. When Yukie warns Makoto of an approaching doom, a force that feeds on Natural Energy and threatens whole lands, he agrees to help, but only on one condition: she must aid him in hunting Deviants. Stripped of much of her sight and power, the goddess must find ways to be useful, relying on wit, ritual, and fragile alliances to keep the bargain alive. An uneasy accord forms: an ancient deity asking for a mortal she cannot fully fathom, and a man of formalism binding himself to a divine contract. Their uneasy partnership will pull them through political intrigues, corporate scaffolding that holds civilization together, and escalating supernatural threats where every awakening is a test and every bargain carries a cost. This is Kiss X Reaper - a story of old gods, long lives, and the price of power.

The Fury Of Yagurah

In the ancient world of Nophilis, where kingdoms rise on steel and fall in fire, strength is the only law that holds meaning. Clans rule the continents like living empires—each with their own martial traditions, sacred blades, and brutal codes of honor. Among them, none were feared or respected more than the Yagurah, the shadow-forged swordsmen whose discipline shaped centuries of warfare. But in one night of treachery and bloodshed, the Yagurah are wiped from existence. At just seven years old, Aldrich Yagurah watches the rival clans Varkonn and Saelari slaughter his entire family—his father, mother, and older sister—leaving him alive only to break him. Instead, their cruelty forges something far more dangerous. In the ashes of his home, clinging to the legendary sword his father created, Aldrich swears an oath of vengeance so fierce it shakes the night itself. Saved only by Eldran “Iron Spine” Yagurah, the clan’s last surviving elder—an aging warrior who lost his right arm protecting the gate—Aldrich is taken deep into Hollowdene Forest, a lawless, monstrous territory where dragons, ogres, griffins, crocotta packs, and other medieval beasts roam freely. There, in the heart of danger, a new legacy begins. Eldran builds a home in the center of the wilds and begins to forge Aldrich the same way Yagurah blades were forged for generations: through pressure, pain, and relentless discipline. With no magic and no divine gifts—only swordsmanship, martial arts, raw will, and human strength—Aldrich endures brutal training, hunts beasts that could crush kingdoms, and grows stronger with each scar. But vengeance is not simply killing his clan’s enemies. To uphold his oath, Aldrich must rise above them— outthink the Saelari, outlast the Varkonn, and surpass even the ancient warriors whose blood he carries. From the ashes of the fallen Yagurah, a new storm is coming. A storm that kneels before no king. A storm born from grief, raised by fire, and sharpened by monsters. His name is Aldrich Yagurah— and the world of Nophilis will soon know the fury he carries.
