Nameless of the End

Whimo
[ "Tell me, do you believe in ghosts?" ] That one question. That one phrase. It was both the beginning and the end for many, yet for Kenji Hakurou, it signalled a shift. The world he lived in mirrored our own — skyscrapers reaching the clouds, a world connected by the web, where progress and science have left the world of myth and belief behind. But within this shining beacon of a new age lie shadows that refuse to die of creatures that lurk in the night, unseen and hidden. Anomalies, horrors, and mythical beasts only ever seen in fiction — or beyond the scope of imagination. Mysteries remain, stories of ghosts and urban legends permeate through hushed voices. Follow this loveless batter as he fights his way through this deep, dark, and, aided by a mysterious benefactor, before long, under the control of the clandestine Choir — an organization hellbent on keeping the world secure and the supernatural hidden. Through any means necessary. ——————————————————— Current Case: 0 | Prologue Cross-posted on Royal Road Release Schedule: 1 Chapter at 7:00 AM PST | Daily

REBIRTH OF THE MALICIOUS EMPRESS OF MILITARY LINEAGE

The morning drums were thundered across the Iron Phoenix of the Military Manor, shaking with the frost from the stone of the courtyards. Soldiers were all moving in perfect rhythm, blades flashing so much under the pale of the sun. Among them were once stood Shi Lian, raised not to be as a fragile lady and modestly surrounded by beauty but as a weapon forged in discipline. Yet their memories now felt distantly like a life stolen from her. Beyond this, were the manor’s harsh strength laid in the Radiant Palace, a place where many of the jade halls and silk curtains where all beauty hid in so much corruption. Every smile was concealed in ambition, every bow being religiously done, is carried out with a calculated. It was a palace where so much in loyalty died quietly. Deep within it sprawled off the Vermillion Harem Court, where the consorts fought wars without their swords. Sweet voices were poured poisoned tea, and rumors traveled faster than the arrows. Here, their reputations were all slaughtered before bodies were. Far away from their whispers, the Imperial Study of their remains cold and silent. Maps of the conquered lands were all covered with the walls, and the Emperor worked all alone beneath the dim lantern light. Once, Shi Lian had believed that the man would stand beside her forever for her. But the battlefield of the memories still burned down, mud, fire, screaming of horses, and betrayals were all in the shape of the lyrics to the rhythm.

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
