Illusive Eden - He Pretends He's the Hero

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

Arcana Null : 22 - The Fool Who Imprisoned Fate

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. Then his grandfather dies during a circus performance. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

Prince of Darkness: Heir of the Burning Veil

Marcus is a typical sixteen-year-old, or so he believed. His world is one of school bells and mundane worries, until the "cracks" began to appear. What started as sleep paralysis and fleeting hallucinations soon bled into his waking life—shadows that moved with intent and whispers that spoke in a language older than time. The veil finally shatters on a rainy afternoon when Marcus is hunted by nightmare-spawn from a realm beyond human comprehension. Cornered and facing certain death, he is rescued by a mysterious, masked figure in a leather trench coat—a warrior who wields a blade with supernatural grace and knows more about Marcus than Marcus knows about himself. But the rescue comes with a terrifying price. To save Marcus’s life, the stranger must awaken the "Ancient Core" buried deep within the boy’s soul—a primordial demonic entity of world-ending power, sealed there as an infant by his true father: The King of Hell. Now, Marcus is no longer just a boy; he is a vessel. As he navigates a world of secret societies, demon hunters, and hellish generals like the ruthless Citrus, Marcus must grapple with the monster clawing at his mind from the inside. The entity offers him god-like strength and black flames that can turn armies to ash, but every time Marcus draws from that well, he loses a piece of his humanity. As his body begins to mutate and the "Shadow Veins" take hold, Marcus faces a choice that will decide the fate of both realms: Will he claim his throne as the Prince of the Abyss, or will he find a way to kill the god living inside his heart?

Pneumagram — Echoes of the Dark Rising Soul

Pneumagram – Echoes of the Dark Rising Soul (DarkRisingSoul - DRS) also known as Magical Tales of the Lost Spirit (MTLS) In a futuristic world obsessed with reclaiming divinity through magic, humanity builds the Pneumagram—a system meant to forge heroes from belief itself. Modeled after God’s deities, known as Archaengel, the system grants transcendence once thought impossible. Yet a single question lingers: can humanity bear the consequences of wielding such power, or will their world collapse under the weight of its own ambition? Daniel awakens as Mirielle Fatui Aveline, a young freshman and exceptionally gifted student enrolled in an elite magic academy. Chosen to resonate with the Pneumagram, Mirielle is expected to embody one of the Nine Echoes—elemental forces shaped after divine archetypes, designed to mold humanity’s next generation of unsung heroes. But Mirielle herself was once a skeptic—a myth-disbelieving fool. In her buried past, she believed magic, myths, and heroism were nothing more than specific delusions and irrational ideas: mental structures mistaken for truth, made dangerous only because people chose to believe in them. As she is forced to engage with the Pneumagram, she begins to realize the Echoes are not gifts nor blessings, but symptoms—manifestations born from what was lost, denied, or fractured within the soul. As the system reveals its true nature, Mirielle must confront the cost of divine power: the erosion of her past self. In a world that mistakes automation for creation, ascending into legend may require her to abandon the very identity that once rejected magic, myths, and heroes.

HEXAGON: THE BLACK SCORPIONS

In a world shaped by ancient powers and forgotten wars, humanity survives under the shadow of forces it barely understands. The practice of the Ancient Arts—mysterious abilities known as 'Releases' was once bestowed upon humanity by the heavens themselves as a desperate measure during a primordial war against six godlike beings known as the Six Gods of Calamity. These entities nearly erased civilization, forcing rival nations to unite in a struggle that lasted generations. Though the Calamities eventually vanished without explanation, humanity preserved the memory of that terror within a sacred monument: the Great Tombs of Constelli, a memorial built not in worship, but as a plea that such devastation would never return. Centuries later. The brutal murder of a renowned archaeologist in a forgotten alleyway should have been just another case—until it lands on the desk of Detective Silvers, a legend within the Investigations Department. Known for his flawless record and relentless pursuit of justice, Silvers has never encountered a mystery he couldn’t solve. This time, he steps into something far darker. As the investigation unfolds, Silvers discovers that the perpetrators are no ordinary criminals. They wield supernatural abilities, skills that defy human limits, and knowledge tied to forces long buried in secrecy. By the time he realizes the truth, withdrawal is no longer an option. The case has already claimed blood—and it demands more. What begins as a single murder spirals into a covert war fought in the shadows, drawing in powerful factions with clashing ideologies and hidden agendas: The Order, guardians of forbidden truths; The Mafia, whose influence stretches far beyond crime; the Investigations Department, struggling to uphold justice in a world that no longer obeys its rules; and the enigmatic Cult of the Black Scorpions, whose motives threaten to unravel reality itself. As alliances fracture and secrets surface, Detective Silvers is forced to confront a terrifying truth—this case was never just about justice. It was the opening move in a far greater game, one that will decide the fate of those who live in ignorance… and those who dare to uncover what lies beyond.
