    In 1545, in the village of Charnoy, a group of women holds an ancestral secret to live in peace among men. But when their anonymity is threatened, their leader, Theodoar Elbi, decides to build a refuge out of the world, far from human cruelty: the city of Utopia. Yet, twenty years later, the ghosts of the past resurface, and what was meant to be a paradise becomes a hidden fortress at the edge of reality, now called Elysium. To protect this sanctuary and keep the gate closed to invaders, Theodoar will have to make a heartbreaking choice. How far would you go to protect your own, and what price would you be willing to pay for eternal freedom?

    Michael Hart is a man hollowed out by grief. Two years after losing his wife, Sarah, he survives on the rigid armor of routine-same tea, same bus stop, same silence. But during a high-voltage repair at a substation, the routine breaks. 33,000 volts surge through him, and instead of dying, Michael slips. He wakes up in a world that has developed seams. He can see the invisible machinery of death: ultraviolet filaments drifting through hospital corridors, spectral "Custodians" easing the transition of the dying, and a vast, mathematical architecture holding reality together. But Michael's survival was never part of the equation. By simply existing, Michael has become a "Deviation"-a glitch in the cosmic cycle. When he instinctively touches a Custodian to stop a death, he shatters the laws of nature. Now, the system is rebooting to correct the error, and the "Extraction Protocol" has begun. With the help of his estranged daughter, Emma, and a detective who has seen too much to be a skeptic, Michael must navigate a world where death is no longer a certainty, but a malfunctioning machine. As a predatory "Anomaly" begins to hunt him through the cracks in reality, Michael faces an impossible choice: Allow the cycle to collapse, or become the very thing that manages the end of all things.

    Julian Voss has been hunting the frontier's creatures for six years. He knows what they are, where they nest, how they die. He is good at this work in the way men become good at things they have no intention of stopping. Then the pattern changes. Creature attacks along the silver corridor begin sequencing - scout eliminated, telegraph cut, interior asset triggered, strike team in position. Not territory. Not hunger. Something is directing them. The Pale Covenant sends Julian east. The attacks follow. Station by station, the silver supply that keeps the western settlements functional is being dismantled - corridor by corridor, with patience and logistics Julian recognizes from the field manual. Whatever is building out there learned from somewhere. Frontier of Ashes is a standalone dark western set in an alternate late 19th century. The sacred silver that holds back the dark is running low, and the thing that wants it gone has been at work longer than Julian has been alive. He is not the first hunter sent after it.

    One year ago, Sarah's best friend Cassie brutally murdered four classmates in the house next door. Then Cassie disappeared. No one knows why she did it. Or that Sarah could have stopped her. Now, strange things are happening - messages written in blood, familiar voices whispering to Sarah, faces in the mirror that aren't her own. Cassie's favorite slumber party game was always Bloody Mary and her final entries in a journal are filled with stories about a "presence" in the mirror, who listened when no one else did. Cassie poured her fear, anger, and heartbreak into Bloody Mary - confessing the bullying, loneliness, and slow, painful realization that Sarah was starting to make new friends and move on without her. As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Sarah and her friends - including Abby, who might be something more - must follow the clues and go to what's now called the Demon House. There, they will learn what really happened, what Cassie unleashed...and whether she's still alive. Cassie faced her demons and failed. Bloody Mary is done waiting. And Sarah is next. --------- Highest Rankings: 🥇#1 in Urban Legends 🥇 #1 in YA Horror 🥈#2 in Occult Top 5 in Psychological Horror Top 5 in Horror *Updates on Tuesdays and Fridays*

    In a world where superpowers define civilization, humanity believes itself to be the apex of evolution. Heroes uphold order. Villains threaten it. And Quirks explain everything. Until something arrives that cannot be explained at all. After a catastrophic anomaly during a hunt on the Origin Isles, the legendary Elder Dragon known as the Ruiner Nergigante vanishes without a trace. Moments later, it reawakens in an unfamiliar world,reborn in the fragile body of a young girl, bearing only fragments of its former monstrous self. But instinct does not die with flesh. Deep within her remains the hunger of the Extinction Dragon,an apex predator evolved to hunt the strongest beings in existence. And in a society overflowing with powerful Quirks, she quickly learns that "heroes" and "villains" still carry something disturbingly familiar... the same energy as the Elder Dragons she once hunted. People begin to disappear. Hero bodies are recovered with impossible injuries. Entire investigations collapse under contradictions that should not exist. And in the shadows of Musutafu, an urban legend spreads: a horned girl with black wings and crimson eyes who consumes anything strong enough to resist her. Some believe she is a mutation. Some believe she is a new kind of villain. Others begin to fear something worse-that she is not from their world at all. Meanwhile... On the Origin Isles, the surviving hunters and their Handler are left with an impossible aftermath. The Ruiner Nergigante has vanished mid-hunt, leaving behind no trace of its existence. After searching for answers, after countless years of research, they finally find the cause. And they are more than willing to continue their unfinished hunt...

    Meet Dawn 😐🖤 🔗😈🧠 and Faye 😋🎀 🌸💥🧠 The human versions of caffeinated raccoons with poor impulse control. Currently monetizing a haunted apartment. Most people run from haunted apartments. Dawn and Faye moved in on purpose. After getting evicted (for reasons that may or may not involve a séance, a fire alarm, and a oujia board), the twins find the perfect place: Room 404, Marlow Apartments. It has a certain reputation... Tenants don't stay. Lights flicker. Walls bleed. Something whispers at exactly 3:17 a.m. The ghosts expect screaming. Panic. Maybe tears. What they get instead is a camera in their face and: "Wait-can you do that again but slower? The lighting was bad." Within days, the haunting is no longer a tragedy. It's content. And when Dawn and Faye launch Ghost Hunters Inc., a paranormal investigation channel that treats actual spirits like mildly inconvenient coworkers, things spiral out of control faster than anyone-living or dead-can handle. Viewer discretion is advised. Not because of the ghosts. But because of the chaotic twins who are determined to turn everything into content and monetization. Could you handle them?

    The boredom of mortals leads to simple consequences, but what chaos could the boredom of a powerful being unleash? When forces dare to tamper with destiny, disrupt order, and strip all beings of their fundamental rights, will they succeed? Or will the restless curiosity of one particular entity stand in their way? In the endless Void, a tower emerges-a monolithic structure said to grant unimaginable power to those bold enough to climb it. Each floor tests the strength, intellect, and resolve of those who enter, pushing them to their limits and beyond. "Tell me, mortals," speaks the enigmatic voice that echoes through the tower, "what role will you play in this grand festival of ambition?" As they ascend, the challengers must confront the price of their desires. Will they rise to greatness or succumb to the impossible trials ahead? And what of the entity watching from above-are they merely an observer, or the one pulling the strings? The tower calls. The festival begins. Dare to climb?

    For one thousand years, the cavern-city of Mycora's Embrace had breathed in the dark. It was no ordinary hollow beneath the planet, but a vast, cathedral-like grove carved by time and tenderness - an underground damp cavern where mineral-veined ceilings arched like frozen waves, and clear droplets gathered before falling in soft, patient rhythms into moss-lined pools. The air shimmered with spores like drifting lantern dust, and the walls pulsed with living light. Every surface bloomed. Towering violet caps unfurled like silk parasols. Amber shelf-fungi layered the stone in warm, honeyed tiers. Spirals of teal and cerulean glow-moss crept along columns, while crimson mycelial webs stitched the ground together in luminous veins. Pale ghost-mushrooms glimmered like stars scattered among roots that hung like chandeliers from the ceiling. The grove illuminated itself - not in harsh brightness, but in a breathing radiance, hues shifting gently with the pulse of the colony. This was home. This was Mycora's Embrace, founded a millennium ago by twenty-five elders who first dared to shape wild cavern into sanctuary. And now, those same twenty-five still stood - aged, vast, magnificent - to witness its thousandth bloom.
