He has been summoned into Atreaum as its new court mortician, by the Half-Dead Queen Marguerite. Lucian expects to be knee-deep in embalming fluid and corpses--not a world where death has been removed entirely. But when Lucian rings a forbidden bell in Staesis and breaks the illusion, he awakens something more dangerous than ghosts: memory. Now hunted by the very Queen who gave him his title, shadowed by a stitched girl born from someone else's grief, and pursued by a Spymaster who trades in secrets and souls, Lucian finds himself unraveling both the world’s systems — and himself. As he uncovers the truth behind the Mortician’s legacy, an orchard that grows from sorrow, and a forgotten Daughter who was never meant to choose love, Lucian must decide what kind of death is worth writing… …and which ones deserve to live.

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

Genre: Dark Fantasy / Supernatural Thriller Tone: Gothic, Introspective, Violent, Mysterious Setting: A fractured world where the mystical and mortal coexist in a fragile truce, post-cataclysm. Centuries ago, a celestial event known as “The Rift” opened a gateway between the mortal realm and the Veil—a dimension of raw magic and forgotten horrors. In its wake, humans mutated, evolved, and interbred with supernatural creatures. In a crumbling world where ancient pacts once kept order between vampires, werewolves, witches, revenants, and other mystical beings, those fragile lines are shattering. The Age of Balance is gone. Now, a deeper darkness stirs beneath the surface—a forgotten power long buried is clawing its way back into reality. The story follows Aeron Vale, a revenant with fragmented memories; Elara Nyxis, the last scion of a powerful witch bloodline with ties to a realm of dream and prophecy; and Riven, a half-werewolf, half-something-else hybrid whose true nature is barely restrained. Together, they become entangled in a rising war between factions: The Crimson Conclave (they are a collection of ancient vampire lineages that once formed the ruling elite during the last age of balance). The Pale Synod’s Ember Paladins (holy warriors hunting down the corrupted). The Eclipsed Moon Order (a cult-like faction dedicated to lunar mysticism). The Hollowed, whose godlike patron seeks rebirth. The Faeblood Courts, eerie, ancient, and politically manipulative. Themes & Twists: Memory vs. Identity: Can you trust who you are if your memories are lies? Cycle of Betrayal: History repeats—unless someone chooses to break the loop. Moral Ambiguity: No faction is purely good or evil; survival has twisted all of them. Reality vs. Illusion: Faeblood magic distorts time and memory—what the reader believes is real may not be.

Masaru Ryunosuke is an outcast—a scholarship student in a school of elites, struggling to keep his head down in a world that looks down on him. But when a chance encounter with a vampire attack leaves him at death’s door, he wakes up to a new reality—he's no longer human. Now a ghoul, the lowest rank of undead, Masaru finds himself thrown into a world of ancient bloodlines, deadly supernatural creatures, and secret organizations hunting beings like him. His only guide? Akane Mikazuki, the cold and ruthless noble vampire who saved him, but only for her own mysterious reasons. Armed with the Cape of Dracula, an artifact of legendary power, and an unnatural potential that defies vampire logic, Masaru refuses to accept his fate as a weakling.

As battles erupt between vampires, werewolves, assassins, and monstrous beings, Masaru must claw his way up the supernatural hierarchy before he’s devoured by forces beyond his comprehension. Because in this world, the weak exist only to be devoured. But what happens… when an undead refuses to stay at the bottom?

In the celestial realm, he was feared by all. The God of Death, the eternal judge, the one who ferried souls through the River of Oblivion. Yet even gods are not safe from betrayal. Branded as a villain and stripped of his divine power, he was cast into oblivion by the very one who created him — the God of Creation. But death does not end the Reaper.

With no system, no prophecy, and no mercy, he rises not as a hero… But as the final villain of the gods' story. “They called me evil. Now I will show them what evil truly is.”

❗[Current Writing Contest-WebNovel Spirity Awards 2025 Fantas]❗ Flain grew up in a futuristic world. When he was born his parents didn't want him because he didn't live up to their expectations and so he ended up very badly. Flain was employed as a slave. He was forced to mine radioactive iron deep in the mines. It was drilled into his head that he existed only to obey orders. Young Flain was obedient. He doubted some of it but knew nothing else. For years, he never saw a single ray of light; light was only spoken of among the others as a legend. The routine was the same: in the morning, he would take a nutrient tablet and water. Then he would mine all day, sleep eight hours, and repeat. Flain worked like this from childhood until he was ten years old. He even found a friend, but that friend died of radiation poisoning right in front of Flain. Flain couldn't stop mining. He kept mining with tears streaming down his face. Before bed, Flain cried. "I will become the strongest. I will kill you all, and you will become my slaves." Flain stopped crying, stared blankly at the rocky ceiling, then looked ahead. A manic grin appeared on his face, one that would often adorn it from that moment on. At the age of ten, Flain was assigned to a military camp due to his endurance in the mines and his survival against radiation. In the camp, Flain was trained. The regime was much looser; he even had an hour of free time each day. However, Flain didn't make any more friends. Even during his free time, he trained with a smile. He would achieve his goal at any cost, even if it meant training himself to death. Experiments were conducted on Flain. He lost his hair, two long gray arms grew on his back, and a third red eye appeared. Flain became a mutant. Flain was then sent to war. He fought with sharp katabas. He performed quite well in the war, earning himself command of ten soldiers and becoming a small commander. But one day, everything changed. Flain then dies, is swallowed by darkness, and Flain refuses to die, thus appearing as a skeleton in a fantasy world.

When Electrolux became the old man trapped inside a ring. When Gu Feng transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, becoming the grandson of the Bone Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and awakening the Bone Dragon Martial Soul.
