"Beware the mark-bearers."

Those are the words drifting in the air of Denline City.  What started out as rumors has become a real threat to its citizens; strange circumstances brought about by stranger people, some desperate to blend in with society -- and others who reject it outright.  Whispers in the wind suggest that a ghost from the past is behind it all, from mass disappearances to an ever-rising body count.  

Yet the truth remains lost in darkness.  And in order to find it -- answers, evidence, and a missing friend -- one of the cursed mark-bearers ventures forth.  All he knows for sure is that the numbers infesting Denline City, invisible to all but those branded like him, are the key to it all.  But before long, his quest leads him to a threat beyond his imagining -- and a rebellion against reality itself.

The end is coming.  And the clock just won't stop ticking.

Guardians Of The Last Dragon by McDorey
23 parts Complete Mature
"In the realm of Tenria, where the skies are painted with the hues of dawn and dusk, and the land is scarred by the whispers of ancient magic, the fabric of fate is woven. Five tribes, each a thread in the tapestry of destiny, have been chosen to embark on a perilous quest. The Aerthys, masters of the winds, with wingsuits that shimmer like the sun; the Pyrope, weavers of fire, with hearts ablaze and souls afire; the Nyxoria, guardians of the shadows, with secrets hidden behind masks of mystery; the Terraka, keepers of the earth, with roots that dig deep into the ancient lore; and the Aquaria, rulers of the oceans, with tides that ebb and flow with the rhythm of the cosmos. In a world where magic is a whispered promise, and ancient prophecies slumber, waiting to be unearthed, the chosen ones must navigate treacherous landscapes, forge unlikely alliances, and confront the shadows within. For in the heart of Tenria lies the ancient pearl, a relic of the last dragon, waiting to be claimed by those brave enough to face the trials of the past. Join us, dear traveler, as we embark on a journey through the realms of Tenria, where the very fabric of reality is about to be rewritten, and the fate of a world hangs in the balance."

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.
