The Black Retreat: Dark Omens

Chrissy
The first book of "The Crimson Chronicles" trilogy. — In the heart of the vast Great Forest of Althea, the young fire mage Clei has spent a decade honing his powers. But as his magical strength reaches a critical bottleneck, he is driven to abandon the solitude of his woodland home—not only to uncover the truth behind his adoptive father's sudden disappearance, but to finally explore the vast, untamed world beyond the trees and step into the sprawling cities of the Kingdom of Pyraeth. What he finds is a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Two decades after the catastrophic Umbral Blight, the Human Realm is once again shadowed by doom. The Prophecy of the Black Moon has resurfaced, and a sinister cult is orchestrating a new plague. This malevolent force—the parasitic Umbral Phantoms responsible for turning millions into mindless Hollowed twenty years ago—has returned with a vengeance, threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Facing terrifying monsters and the hatred of people who once rejected him, Clei must fight his way through a world falling into darkness. To survive, he needs to uncover the truth about his father's past, before the very curse that made him an outcast consumes him from the inside out. *** 1-2 chapters/day Author's Note: This is the very first book I wrote when I was younger, and to fully incorporate the lore of all my stories, I decided to pick this up along with two other books in the trilogy: The Empyrean Ascent Echoes in the Abyss My discord: chrissy_8085

Synopsis: [Bunbunmaru News Flash] At night, strange “card game” noises echo through the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. The Scarlet Devil Mansion has been bulk-purchasing fashionable stockings from dungeons. Meanwhile, an eerie green light shoots into the sky above the Hakurei Shrine. The infamous black-and-white thief repeatedly fails her heists, leaving with trembling legs. A self-proclaimed S-Class hero girl collapses from sheer exhaustion. A purple-haired girl capable of creating monsters teams up with a puppet master from the Magic Forest, constructing a Mecha-Godzilla, and launching a full-scale arena battle against three alien sisters! Is all of this part of Kihara’s grand scheme to overthrow the Yakumo family and establish a harem empire across all of Gensokyo… —or is it the Moon Princess secretly pulling the strings from beneath the table? Want to know what happens next? Don’t miss the next issue! Kaguya tossed the newspaper in front of Kihara, narrowing her eyes. “You’re the shrine maiden’s fiancé, aren’t you? Running around flirting with everyone doesn’t look very good, you know.” “How am I flirting?!” Kihara shot back. “Wasn’t all of this because of you and Yukari? I’m doing this to save Gensokyo!” He took a sip of his goji flower tea, answering with full confidence: “I’ve been traveling across worlds, working day and night to save Gensokyo. Even if I don’t get credit, I’ve definitely put in the effort! You can’t just slander me like that out of nowhere!” ........... Hello everyone this is going to be my new translation project.
