A race of human beings with horrific ancestry, an Empire's conquest of a faraway island, a man's search for divinity. Here lies Gehenna, here lie the damned. ***This novel contains mentions of violence, murder, rape & suicide -- Reader Discretion Advised*** Author's Note: Growing up with shows like Supernatural and Black Butler, reading novels like Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth, and most importantly reading the Bible the full way through, I've gotten extremely fascinated by the esoteric aspects of Christian mythology and Biblical lore. This story is inspired heavily by such Christian motifs and symbolism, specifically the Nephilim and the Book of Enoch. The setting of the story, rather than being the modern world, is instead the Age of Discovery. The reason being that, this era - the early 16th century, was a tumultous period when Christianity was spread via the early colonial Empires, and much of it involved horrific tales of the Inquisition and subjugation of conquered peoples. What better a place, then, for a novel inspired by Christian mythology than such a period? ----------------------------------------------------------- Highest Tag Rankings: 1st in #thought-provoking --- November 22nd, 2022 2nd in #cosmichorror --- September 30th, 2022 3rd in #lovecraftian --- September 8th, 2022 3rd in #biblical --- January 19th, 2023

Yuurii Tanaka is a non-binary 11th grade student living on Tivax in 2109. They have a fascination with the concept of alternate realities, and are often caught out in class for daydreaming... oops! After the sudden disappearance of one of their friends, Yuurii must fight to discover the truth. Emerald Socorro is Yuurii Tanaka's self-proclaimed best friend. I mean, they've known each other from childhood. They literally grew up together! It would only make sense that they are best friends. And best friends tell each other everything... or at least that's the stereotype. Is Yuurii hiding something? Who knows. Nevaeh Mailings is from another dimension, from the planet Avin. She enters a portal that takes her to Tivax, where she meets Yuurii and Emerald. Little does she know that she entered the portal with a price. Xander Ronan is one of Yuurii's closest friends. When Neve enters the portal, he gets pulled into Tivax as the price to keep the balance between worlds. Will he find his way back? Or is he stuck there forever? Makoto Shinya is a very sarcastic person who hides behind their tough exterior. They learnt long ago that feelings are dangerous and hurtful, so Makoto is slightly detached from everyone else, emotionless and expressionless. They're hard to read. Mostly because there's nothing to read. Caio Hélio is an innocent, fun-loving person, but he can't help but be suspicious of others. He doesn't believe that there is 'a good side to everyone'. However, he does think about the impossible. A. Lot. But with an unseen evil lurking, how will our friends save everyone? This is a co-author story. I wrote this with @angelthinker01.

[Ongoing]Bored of vampires or werewolves haunting humans? Let humans be the hunter then and the phytoanthropes shall be their prey. 12 years after they left earth, Alma Will, the only one from "the new generation" who possessed earth memory, sneaked out from the camp with her best friend Kitty, which finally led her to run into the life's first encounter with a Phytoanthrope. Little did she know how since then the destiny of herself, her camp, and even the whole human race shall never be the same... Millions of words could be said about the Phytoanthropes, their humanoid figures, their semi-plant body with practice of photosynthesis, their magnificent empires and wars, yet only one thing mattered the most to the humans- that they are the "Preys". Yes, humans feasted on the phytoanthropes just like you ate a piece of grilled chicken.
