The ancient ruins of The Terral Gate are said to be a dormant doorway to the Terral Plane- the home of the gods that created everything we can see. The legends also tell of the ancient mystics who arrogantly opened the gate in an effort to gain control over the shape of our world and were subsequently vanquished by the gods. The Order of the Gate was created to protect the ruins from those like the mystics that would try to open it again in fear of the gods' wrath. Dark and alarming energy has been seen pouring from the Terral Gate lately and some think it should be destroyed once and for all.
An unlikely group of adventurers become afflicted with plaguing dark marks and must fight through chaos and confusion to cure themselves. Then, if there's time, they can save the world.

The Taste of Iron
Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank HerbertComplete
The Marionetteʼs Puppeteer (Volume 1)
I don't know if I died or not, but the moment I regained my consciousness, I was already standing on a field full of grass and surrounded by trees. "W-what is that...?" A screen was floating in front of me. 「 Welcome, new adventurer! 」 "Adventur...rer?" But..... I'm so small! My body is the size of a 9 year old kid! And I don't even know what the hell happened to me. After I read some information on the screen, I was amazed that the world I was in was like a VRMMORPG. Magic exists and so does the level. "Huh?" When I look at my status, I'm not neither a mage that cast magic nor a swordsman that wields a sword, instead.... I'm a puppeteer! Will I survive in this new world despite knowing that I don't have a place to stay or food to eat? Note: This is more likely in Fantasy. Magic goes bruh broom brr. Also, there is some terms in this stories that is hard to understand like skills, ultimate skill, so read the prologue for that one.

A Guide to Save the Heroes
[Congratulations! You are the First Player on Earth!] "What?! Why is it calling me Player?" Archael, once a powerful Guide for the Norns System who led the fated heroes to close the gates, wakes seven years in the past, stripped of his exclusive Guide abilities. Powerless and frustrated, he now faces the world as a mere Player, with a single Main Quest on his system window: "Save the heroes." He begins this mission believing he is simply redoing a job, but he is actually headed for an end where a hero will ask: "Can you promise me one thing?" "What is it?" "Please, don't hate me too much." The hero's words make no sense. If hate is to exist between them, it should be directed at him, not come from him. After all, he was the one who killed what the hero treasured most.

Bound by Sin and Soul
Synopsis: For over a decade, demons have ravaged the world after a mysterious traveller uncovered and shattered an ancient artifact etched with forbidden angelic runes. In doing so, they unknowingly unlocked the Gates of Hell-not as a single event, but as countless hidden fractures across reality itself. These portals, now seep demons into the human world, allowing them to grow stronger with each passing day. Whispers speak of a chilling truth-demons mark humans to drain their life force and replenish their magic, growing more dangerous with every soul. Daichi, a 27-year-old widower plagued by a lifetime of misfortune, finds himself marked by one such demon-a powerful and dangerously alluring creature whose true intentions remain a mystery. Does it seek to consume Daichi's soul... or something far more intimate? As Daichi teeters between survival and surrender, two unlikely allies take up the fight elsewhere: Junichiro "Xavier" Masashi, a high-ranking and battle-scarred General Demon Hunter, and a mysterious Hellhound bound to a mysterious master. Together, they investigate the origins of these evolving demonic threats-seeking out patterns, secrets, and the truth behind the growing invasion before the world collapses completely. Now, with Daichi trapped in a deadly bond and Xavier chasing shadows beside a creature born of flame and fang, both men face impossible choices. Between love and loyalty, salvation and sacrifice-can they change a world already burning? Or will desire undo them all?
