ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." Five friends embark on a quest to prevent an approaching cryptid-human war. Meanwhile, the human-clothed creature among them resists the hunger to ravage his companions. In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--and death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and eldritch elements.

Wolf and Keeper by TheSquareCheese

Sen is an orphan whose only family is Hashioni, a great yokai who has long defended their village from raiders and thieves. When Hashi falls prey to an illness known as The Rot, Sen embarks on a journey to find him a cure before the Rot consumes him entirely. Joined by two Buddhists, a ronin, and a wayward onna-bugeisha, his journey opens his eyes to a world he's never known and reveals that a much more sinister plot may be behind the illness that threatens to kill his friend.

A contract for a demon who killed the son of a wealthy samurai sets him on a journey that makes him begin to question everything he's ever been taught. When the contract begins to be more than it appears, Maru must decide whether his loyalty lies with the people to whom he owes his life or to himself. When the two finally meet, their lives change in a way neither of them anticipate in an age where endless war has tipped the balance of the world and calls out for the Disciples of Hachiman, the ancient Kami-sent warriors destined to keep the balance between yokai and humanity.

The One Who Dances on Shadowed Feet by YYuxi0

"Before they were the legends, oral tradition passed down from generation to generation, before they were heroes of the War of Seven Forces, and before all the stories made them but little less than the very gods they drew power from in the eyes of the common folk... they were human." * * * Ever since gods began lending their strength to humankind, the Clans have existed. They have flourished, traded, warred, and made peace-- but now trouble is stirring again. Enter: Ichtaka, a boy with a "cursed" appearance and mysterious origins. The closed-off Mountain Clan reluctantly accepts him after discovering his half-dead form. Some suspect he is a runaway from the Cave Clan, notorious for their acts of cruelty, and others believe him to be an ill omen from the gods. As tensions soar among the clans, Ichtaka's past begins to reveal itself-- as do those in the shadows. *Apologies if parts break strangely. I felt as if each chapter was too drawn out, so I split them into smaller chunks for a (hopefully) better reading experience*
