Branded The Unbound, haunted by dreams that aren't his own, he alone hears the bells that no longer ring. When a girl with a cursed spirit crosses his path, and a child who whispers to ghosts begins to follow, Sanwu finds himself at the heart of a growing storm. Relic hunters chase echoes of power. A death cult rises in the ashes. And the War God he once released threatens to rise again. To stop it, Sanwu must sacrifice more than his past. He must decide if redemption is worth becoming no one at all. A quiet, spiritual fantasy about memory, guilt, and the weight of names. When the bells call again, will he answer?

1724, Joseon. A scholar-heir forged by duty and a foreign seer's daughter bound by a blood-debt are forced into a marriage meant to steady a powerful clan-and to bury its darkest secret. When desire burns through duty and a rival's coup turns celebration into slaughter, one forbidden ritual rewrites the laws of life and death. From lightning-lit courtyards to mountain shrines, The Crimson Vow is a historical fantasy of blades and vows, silk and storm: a love that survives betrayal, an oath that outlives the body, and a covenant strong enough to break fate. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R.

Based in the world of Rick Riordon's HOO, PJ, TOA (Trials of Apollo), Kane Chronicles and probably Magnus Chase. All credit for most places and logic is from Rick- She'd seen monsters the day her grandpa died. It was crazy. How could she see things that aren't real? Yet she saw the damage that had happened every time she moved schools. Next thing she knew she was running from hungry cyclopes and a very angry wolf pack. That is, until she arrived at Camp Half-blood. Something is arising. Not Gaia or the titans. Something that would wreck panic. Ahah- Erika is the daughter of the God of Dreams, Morpheus. You'll meet a handful of new POVs ;)

Sold into the imperial palace as a lowly maid, Chorae is no ordinary servant. Raised by her shaman grandmother but never taught the sacred arts, she developed her own obsession-making spirits suffer. Where others fear ghosts, she hunts them. Where others flee cursed grounds, she sets traps and smiles. In a palace filled with restless souls and deadly secrets, Chorae quietly crafts tools imbued with divine magic-binding, breaking, and discarding vengeful spirits like worn-out toys. Then one day, Yi Seungho, a cold and powerful palace official, takes an interest in her. No one understands why. But he begins calling for her... again and again. She isn't interested in power, titles, or love-just money, peace, and maybe a good haunting to play with. But together, they begin to peel back the layers of the palace's darkest secrets-one ghost at a time.

Set after the events of the K-Pop Demon Hunters movie, this is a fan-created continuation imagining what happens next in the world of Huntr/x. Rumi thought Jinu was gone forever - the boy who had once fought beside her, fallen into darkness, and sacrificed everything to save her. But when the derpy blue tiger and the bird in the little hat lead her to a rain-swept train station, she finds the impossible: Jinu, alive... and human. His memories are gone, sealed by the goddess Mago as part of a second chance - a gift born from his selfless act. Now, Jinu walks the path of redemption, learning to save others like him - even the Saja Boys, who stand on the edge of corruption. But the prophecy warns of a moment "when darkness finally meets the light" - a choice that could repair the Weave forever... or unravel it completely. As the Demon King stirs and the realms begin to shift, Rumi and Jinu must face a question neither of them is ready to answer: When his memories return, will it bring them closer together... or tear them apart for good? This is a fanfiction story written with love for the movie, blending research, Korean mythology, and original worldbuilding to honor and expand the universe of K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Many years ago, ten dragons from different mythologies ruled the earth. Each had a fang that contained sacred powers which can be granted to anyone or anything of their choosing. However, they had to flee to different dimensions to escape a strange being named Sir Metallica. He managed to track down and kill all ten dragons, harvesting their fangs that contained the powers. His plans were soon foiled when a mysterious spaceship blasted his, creating a small hole. All of the fangs fell out and were scattered across Earth. Now, it is up to ten teenagers to find the fangs before Sir Metallica gets his hands on them. This is my first story I've ever done so bear with me on this one if there are a few too many mistakes. All the characters, the cover and storyline were made by me and as mentioned in the description the dragons are based off of mythologies from around the world. Hope y'all enjoy and feel free to leave constructive criticism in the comments. I would love to hear what you guys want me to edit and such.

Korean mythology consists of national legends and folk-tales which come from all over the Korean Peninsula. The origin may be a blend of Korean shamanism, Buddhist, Chinese myths, Confucian and Taoist legends and myths. The legends may also vary greatly by region, even within the country. For example, the people of Jejudo have a very different lifestyle from that of the mainland and so can generate different forms of the same myths. In Korean shamanism, animism was dominant as the prime source for religious life for the Korean people. Particular worship of mountains, animals, plants stem from the belief that they had souls and often show up in the folktales as well as talk about tributes and sacrifices, whether literal, or figurative. At the same time, there were gods that occupied certain domains and they would often show up in folktales as distant protectors that called on humans when asked to rather than interfering with every day life. Early in Korean history, the shamanistic religion was dominant and because early Korea was divided often into smaller domains, such as Silla and Goguryeo, Baekje, the folktales and myths tended to differ also by those regions. With the arrival of Buddhism in the 3-4th century, the myths and native religion began to change as did the myths. With the advent of Neo Confucianism, the native religion was suppressed by the government where shamans were often killed for practicing and so many of the legends either changed or were blended into existing legends. - This Book contains: - Creation myth - List of Deities and Famous Figures - Explanation about korean shamanism. - The Flood Myth - Collections of stories, myths and legends - 2018 -Completed-

As a nymph, Fei was never supposed to live for as long as a deity. But she made a deal with Ares, the Greek God of war so that she could be free to live for a very long time and roam the explored and unexplored lands. In exchange she had to ensure that people will continue to pray to Ares which also meant she had to encourage people to go to war. As time passed, people have lost their belief in the ancient gods and Ares slowly faded away, as did most deities. Fei was free to do whatever she wanted but she kept her word and worked as a scholar who would gather information during times of war. Unfortunately, because of certain circumstances she was punished by the eastern gods to live in seclusion in the mountains and never be able to lie to a human ever again. Now, in the 21st century, Fei resides in the city and has an antique library that also works as a gateway towards the Underworld. She is still punished and still has to work for the remaining eastern deities as gate keeper (she literally keeps the account of who enters and leaves the Afterlife.) But faces from the past come back to haunt her, especially one that disappointed her and brought the punishment onto her.

But with a face which half was covered by an unruly birthmark, she always gets herself into trouble, no matter how many times she tries to hide and avoid it. Even though her mother doesn't want it, Jiwon will be forced to enter the Palace, train and become one of the royal giseangs herself. She will compete with other girls, and she will realize that the gisaengs in the Palace are not only there to entertain the Royal Family or the envoys from other kingdoms . . .

His world is shaken when he's found that the only family by blood in his life--his sister--is seized by the imperial monks also known as, Dharmas. Yul Geom doesn't know why his sister is kept by the Dharmas, but he could not waste time thinking about the answer. He has to act soon, or it may be too late for him to rescue his sister alive. As their paths draw inevitably toward the Palace, Jiwon and Yul Geom will discover that survival is not won by hiding or remaining silent, but by confronting the savage spirits that rule both the court-and themselves.
