    15 year old Cage's life was flipped upside down when he discovered that buried within his soul is Kisei Suru Takusan, an ancient, godlike entity whose power shook the world for thousands of years. When Cage begins awakening strange spiritual abilities, he's pulled into an unseen war fought by Practitioners and Cryptids alike. But neither side sees Cage as an ally. To them, he's a threat. Cage has to resist Takusan's pull as he grows stronger and comes to understand more of the violent world he's been forced into. Every battle brings him closer to mastering incredible power, but also a step closer to losing himself entirely. As unlikely allies, ruthless enemies, differing ideologies clash around him, Cage must decide what kind of person he'll become, and how he'll survive an ever-changing world that's at odds with him, just as much as he is with himself.

    In Gotham, there was a rumor. A rumor, saying that the Bat was the coalescence of their sins, come to punish them (they said that, due to the Batman being formed of their sins, it could not kill them, lest it be weakened). The Bat was formed of the night, and the lines between it and the night blurred, to the point that it became all but invisible in the shadows, only able to be seen by the glow of its eyes, or a shadow blotting out the little light of the moon as it flew in the skies, surveying its territory. The Bat was eldritch, a myth, a tale told to children to frighten them into behaving. 'Be good, and the Batman won't snatch you away to join its brood'. By day, a ditzy socialite, CEO of Wayne Industries, by night, a vengeful shadow in the dark, punishing criminals and doling out justice, the Bat was real.

    Since the dawn of creation, humanity has faced annihilation time and again at the hands of demons. Passing through Gates, they corrupt and possess the darkness in human hearts, becoming Apostates who prey on the living. To ensure humanity's survival, Heaven granted mortals the powers of angels-the fire within their souls known as Halo. As newly igknighted Saints, Hubert and June must work together, traveling across the East Coast of the U.S. to exorcise demons, phantoms, and necromancers. When a string of Apostate attacks begins to connect, what first seems random reveals something far older and more deliberate. By the time they understand it, it may already be too late.

    Across America's forests, backroads, and forgotten towns, something ancient is still moving in the dark. This field guide collects real sightings, regional legends, and firsthand accounts of twenty of the most mysterious creatures ever reported - from towering forest watchers to swamp‑born predators and hollow‑eyed silhouettes that appear only when the fog rolls in. Each chapter blends folklore, witness testimony, and atmospheric storytelling to uncover the patterns behind these encounters. Whether it's the Michigan Dogman stalking rural roads, the Dark Watchers standing silent on California ridges, or the Hollow Men emerging from the treeline without a sound, every creature leaves behind a trail of questions that refuses to fade. This book is for anyone who's ever felt watched in the woods, heard footsteps behind them on an empty trail, or wondered what else might be sharing the night. These stories aren't just legends - they're warnings, sightings, and evidence that the unknown is closer than we think. And some of these creatures aren't staying in the shadows anymore.

    They say the brain protects you from things you aren't ready to understand. For those who grew up in the nineties, the brain did a lot of heavy lifting. It turned glowing eyes into red brake lights. It turned guttural screams into distant steam whistles. It turned the impossible into the "imaginary." But memories have a way of surfacing when the air gets humid or the TV static hits a certain frequency. This is a record of the fifty glitches in our childhood reality. These are the things we saw before we learned to look away. Welcome back to the decade you thought you knew.

    "Doth thou cometh to claim thyne pride?" the great beast mocked. So came the day as foretold in the scriptures; his majesty, king of kings, killer of legends, has risen again to spread his tyranny. "Thyne sword shall pierce no armour. Thou intend to besmirch the stalwart scale by a simple blade? Sth! A mere boy came hither to slay thee as spake th' soothsayer. That wizened hag would have done well to forswear your flighty journey. Alas, thine end is nie..." his majesty sneered. His obsidian scales and golden horns reflected the frightened soldier's own face. Taking notice of his own frightful expression, the soldier steeled his face and disciplined his thoughts. Just how had this come to pass?
