Dr. Zayne Li has a secret. Three years ago, the renowned cardiologist stumbled upon an impossible ice cave in the forest outside Linkon City. What he found inside changed everything—a portal to a nightmare realm where monsters hunt humans, where the laws of reality bend and break, and where survival means becoming something you never thought you could be. He barely escaped. And he's spent every day since sealing that cave, ensuring no one else suffers the same fate. Until Hunter Nana Wang follows him one night.Curious, reckless, and too brave for her own good, Nana is Linkon City's strongest hunter—trained to fight Wanderers, not the impossible creatures that exist beyond dimensions. When a surprise attack shatters Zayne's carefully maintained seal, both of them are pulled through the portal into Avalon: a broken city suspended between life and death, where demons, vampires, and hybrids hunt the few remaining humans. Separated by the portal's cruel logic, Nana wakes in an abandoned classroom with no weapons, no backup, and no idea how to survive. Within minutes, she's being hunted. Within hours, she's convinced she's going to die. Then she meets Mina—a survivor who's been trapped in Avalon for a month, who teaches Nana that the only way to escape this nightmare is to become a nightmare yourself.As Nana learns to fight creatures that shouldn't exist, as she loses people she comes to love, as she grows harder and stronger and more desperate, one thought keeps her going: Find Zayne. Escape together. Survive. But Zayne is fighting his own battle, alone in a realm where he's already spent three years learning to be a killer. And when they finally reunite, they discover that Avalon has one rule that changes everything: The only way out appears once a year, during the blood moon cycle, when thousands of vampires wake and hunt. And anyone bitten transforms instantly. One portal. One chance. Two people who love each other enough to sacrifice everything. In Avalon, love isn't just about living together. Sometimes it's about choosing who gets to live at all.

Wulfstan finds himself in the middle of the woods, with no memory, and two strangers fretting over him. Memories that had danced in his mind faintly before he’d opened his eyes fled and left him no answers. He feels nothing but a strange tugging in his chest, an unspeakable longing. A longing he’d carry with him for the next 1100 years. A tragedy, a comedy, an adventure, a romance, spanning from 1000 c.e until 2100 c.e in England.

The Ordeal always takes more than it gives, and it never acts the way one expects. A tyrannical system rules this world, forcing humans and demons alike into brutal trials— trials that break them, stripping away far more than they ever grant. Succeed, and you gain extraordinary power. Fail… and you die. That is the equation. A world where humans and demons coexist, a world invaded by other realms, where factions, politics, and madness reign. Here, names hold no value, nor do intentions… power alone determines a person’s worth. Sami finds himself within the weakest Clan in this world, possessing nothing but his mind. And the hellish circumstances he is about to endure will force him to evolve, to grow stronger, to rise above everyone else, and obtain the answers he seeks..

Williams Michael—known by everyone as Max—is the weakest hunter in the guild. He can’t fight, can’t hunt, and can’t even kill a chicken on his own. Mocked and laughed at, he survives by doing petty jobs: gathering herbs, escorting villagers, and running errands. The only reason he endures the humiliation is to care for his sick mother—and the quiet love he still holds for Victoria, his childhood friend who has become a revered holy saint living within the church. When Max desperately asks for a higher-paying job to save his dying mother, the guild gives him what seems like a miracle: a safe, well-paid mission as a manastone harvester. Unaware of the truth, Max walks willingly into a lie. He is used as bait in a failed attempt to hunt a high-level vampire. The mission ends in massacre. The hunters die. Max is left unconscious among corpses—and reborn through a forbidden, incomplete soul exchange that turns him into something no longer human. Declared dead by the world, Max awakens one week later to loss beyond measure: his mother gone, his name erased, and his body cursed with vampiric instincts he struggles to control. Though sunlight no longer kills him, it rejects him. Hunger stalks him. Fear follows him. And the church begins to sense a dark presence growing closer each day. Yet when Max reunites with Victoria, love still remains—fragile, forbidden, and dangerous. She feels something is wrong… but chooses to believe in the boy she loved. As fate, faith, and blood collide, Max must hide what he has become while deciding whether he will live as a monster, defy the church that binds the woman he loves, or sacrifice everything to protect her. Because sometimes, the cruelest curse is not becoming a monster— but loving someone you can never stand beside.
