Midnight in Duskwood
After her mother passed away a week later, MC returned to her home and left the hectic city life. She discovered an old hand phone inside her mother's desk while cleaning the house, but it was empty. She was suddenly interrupted by a call on that hand phone. Thomas asked her if she knew where Hannah, his girlfriend, was since he had gotten a message from her with a phone number. She has been joined to a group chat with Hannah's friends and family while she is still perplexed. After all the commotion from the group chat, a hacker by the name of Jake got in touch with her. He asks for MC's assistance in finding Hannah, and MC must comply because she has no other option. The more information the MC learned about Hannah and the others while looking for clues, Jake and MC thought one of Hannah's friends was responsible for Hannah's disappearance. Then, MC learned about the man without a face, legendary Duskwood creature; he leaves a raven's mark on the doors of the worst sinners. Each year, on the night of the first new moon, he returns to the houses he has marked, drags anybody inside-guilty or not-out into the forest, never to be seen again. MC initially refused to believe in paranormal phenomena, but as time went on, inexplicable catastrophes began to occur. The faceless individual attacked Jessy, threatened Cleo's mother in a letter, and painted a red raven symbol on Richy's garage. Jake and MC continue their investigation into Hannah's disappearance because it appears that no harm has been done until Richy was attacked by the man without a face in the woods and was bleeding. What will MC do after that? Will she finish her inquiry or halt it before another person dies? ****************************************************************** English is not my first language, I'm sorry for grammar error ⚠️ All rights to Everbyte Credit picture : Google & UnsplashComplete

PART1: It's been three months since Elena McClain found Hannah and Richy after their disappearance. But hasn't she received even a single message from Jake since that day either. He just... Disappeared. For several weeks she tried to find him, but after a while she thought he just gave up on her and left her. After finishing Hannah's case, Elena McClain decided to move to Duskwood. One night, she receives a strange message from the unknown number... But it isn't from Jake. It turned out that Jake has been found and kept by the government and only she can save him. It's the second time when she has to solve the riddle to save someone's life. Jake has been waiting for her for three months but... What if it's too late? _____________________________________________ [MARCH 2023: THE STORY WAS CORRECTED] This fanfic takes place after episode 9 in the mobile game DUSKWOOD. I was waiting for episode 10 so I decided to create my own story. The story contains violent scenes, sexual content, strong language and adult content. This story contains graphics and photos from public resources so I don't have copyright to them. I use them in a creative way - I diversify them and add my personal artistic vision. I have copyright to my personal artwork. The story focuses on the story of Elena and Jake in the DIC which is my created universe, but the story still contains the themes of the game "Duskwood". These threads, of course, belong to Everbyte Studio. English is not my first language. Please, forgive me my mistakes.Complete
Buried Time
This story continued after the end of the popular game Duskwood. (Don't read if you haven't play the game yet) Five years. That's how long has it been since Hannah Donfort case has been solved. Five years. That's what it take for Jake to be finally free. Five years. Was the time that passed after Kate (MC) left without warning. But what was her reason for disappearing after solving the case? None of them knew. Even Jake who found out after five years wanted to know. However it dawned on them that in the first place, they knew nothing about her. What she look like? What she sound like? What's her full name? How old she is? Where she live? So, Who exactly is Kate (MC)? None of them knew. All they know is that she's shrouded in mystery. NOTE: THE MAIN CHARACTERS AND THE PLOT ARE OWNED AND ALL RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY EVERBYTE. I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL CHARACTER AND FANFIC PLOT. This story is purely made out of my love of the game. What an art.

You just don't want to admit it. - Yeah, that's it. I said sarcastically. Even for a million Galleons, I'd never date you.

Suicide Tree || ✓
❝They say it was suicide❞ When Scarlett and her friend discovered three bodies hanging from the age old willow tree, the town deemed it as suicides. A family tragedy. Nothing more. But then she discovers a note written by the killer. And then she receives more notes. Each detailing an event in her past which only she could have any knowledge of. Someone has been stalking her from the moment she stepped foot in this town. Someone close to her. Someone she trusts. She doesn't know what they want. She doesn't know who they are. For Scarlett, things only get stranger. Her boyfriend begins acting up, the murders are messier and more obvious and she has a complicated relationship with her best friend's brother who, as it turns out, is the only person she can truly trust anymore. As the dead bodies pile up, Scarlett is thrust deeper and deeper into the complicated past, and her chances of making it out alive are slowly diminishing. [Rated Mature for strong language, somewhat graphic depictions of violence and: TW for suicide, depression, self-harm and mental illness. The TW are due to a side character and not the main character.]Complete
Duskwood: Love's Beginning
Even in the darkest moments, the beginnings of love can be found. Jayna Chacon is stuck in a rut. Her job is interesting, but she doesn't have any friends or anything else she's particularly passionate about. That is until a group of strangers starts texting her, asking her to help find their missing friend. Shortly after a faceless man reaches out and starts giving her orders. As time goes on, Jayna realizes she's risking her heart, her safety, and maybe even her life. Disclaimer: This original work of fanfiction is based on Everbyte Studio's mobile game, Duskwood. I do not claim ownership of Duskwood or its characters, nor do I claim that this story is part of the original. As this is a fanfic, I also will not earn any money from this work. There is more development of the main character than in the game so that readers who aren't familiar with Duskwood can still follow along. This storyline follows the main character and Jake (Jake X female MC). I've also added in a few characters of my own, just to give the story some more depth. As this is fanfic, there WILL be spoilers, so if you plan on playing the game or haven't finished it, I suggest you do so before reading this book! The chapters go from the MC's and Jake's point of view, so they don't follow the episodes in the game (i.e. there are more than 10 chapters to this book).
