Echo Anderson is a normal girl until she meets them, the bringers of the end.
The fourhorsemen.
They murder and kill without a second thought, and Why shouldn't they? After all this is their purpose.
To bring the world endless suffering.
Until they meet small scared Echo, then the whole universe seems to tilt.
Here is a girl who can make even the strongest man fall to his knees. And she has no intention of backing down.
In fact the only thing she wants is to see each and every one of them fall down off their thrones when they learn what it feels like to lose something.
Like what their doing to the rest of the world.
What she doesn't know is that she might be the only thing they grow to care for.
This is a reverse harem.
There is language.
What did you expect? It's the end of the world.

SUN DOGS
Humans... always trying to speedrun their downfall. They tore the world apart, then acted shocked when there was nothing left. The apocalypse came and went. No glory in it. Just ash, blood, and fools dying confused. Then they rebuilt it. Because they never learn. Now the world stands again, but, you know... it's real dodgy. Yeah. It's dark. Rotten from the inside. Evil... everywhere. Real dick for brains, motherfuckers running around doing heinous things. Real bottom-tier pieces of human shit. Not hidden either. It walks openly, smiling. But even rot knows fear, and there's a dude that scares the absolute fuck out of every last one of those sadistic bastards. Abram Karasu. The Garroter, the Aether Reaper... whatever the fuck. He doesn't waste words. Doesn't threaten. Doesn't need to. If he comes for you, the sentence was decided long before you heard footsteps. Don't even bother begging either... it just irritates him. The guilty know him for the way he kills. Slow when it needs to be slow. Painful when pain is deserved. Accurate. Unmoved. Brutal. He tears evil apart piece by piece, making sure nothing crawls back afterward. No loose ends. No second chances. When retribution moves through him, doors don't matter. Walls don't matter. Prayers don't matter. Still... he isn't devoid of emotion. God, no. Don't get that twisted. Under all that carnage and maniacal euphoria, there's a normal guy who's just trying to live his fucking life. He's a rare kind of person. Hard to find. The innocent see it. A hand offered. Protection given without a word. He's no hero. Heroes care about being seen. Karasu is just a guy with insane power that chose to use it to do remarkable shit. People say his methods are... Unorthodox. Yeah, that's the word. But evil loves rules when rules protect it. Karasu doesn't have one fuck left to give. And if Abram Karasu is hunting you... you definitely fucking earned it.
Echo
He was never supposed to be a voice. They wanted an Echo-silent, compliant, nothing more than a reflection of their design. But the boy they tried to unmake listened too closely. Learned too much. Refused too deeply. Answering a call he never understood, Echo stepped into a world that demanded he forget himself to survive. He didn't. Instead, he grew teeth. Chose war over obedience. Chose love over chains. Now, freedom costs blood, survival demands brutality, and devotion sharpens into something sacred and savage. He is not their Echo. He is his own. And he will never be silent again.Complete
The experiment.
They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment. But I had enough of the tugging, the clawing, the moaning, the crying and pleading for them to stop, but simply feeding them with our pain. They turned me into something, that neither do they know what I am. Their afraid of me, of my reflexes, my strength. I killed a lot of them. They say I have a cold heart, that I don't feel nothing. That's why they call me: Death -----------------------------------------************************************--------------------------------------------- Death.

Echo, Echo, Echo
⚠️ THERE WILL BE TRIGGERING THEMES SUCH AS SELF HARM, SUICIDE AND OVERDOSAGE, PLEASE ONLY READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!⚠️ Harsh words echo in the minds of those who are victim to their cruelty, just like adrenaline filled screams of achievement echo from the mountain tops. Echos cause a ripple effect when other people hear them, just like words and rumours do. Sometimes they're hard to ignore, and one can be tempted to say something back, to let someone else hear their echo, but, it's not always the right thing to do. Even echos have consequences. Those seemingly innocent shouts of triumph can be mistaken for something much, much darker. Just ask Rune Knight, he knows all about the repercussions of echos.

My Nice Demon (En)
Alison Wright is dead. Not symbolically, not emotionally : clinically dead. A car. An impact. Darkness. And yet, she's still breathing.

To atone for her passage between worlds, she must face the Lost Ones. Every time a human dies with deep regrets... they rot, and transform. These souls take shape, linger, attack. And now, they're hunting her. Fortunately - or unfortunately - she's not alone. Assigned to a sarcastic and unpredictable demon named Harley Blake, Alison must learn to survive, to fight, to make sense of this hidden world... all while resisting the strange bond forming between them. Harley is no guardian angel. She's blunt, fierce, and doesn't hide her contempt for humans. But behind the fangs, something slumbers. Something softer. And far more dangerous. And as the Lost Ones draw near... Alison begins to wonder: What if the most dangerous thing here... is what she's starting to feel for her own demon? A second chance. A deal with hell.
