Mermaids were the temptresses of death; for some, they were a colony of sea devils luring unguarded sailors to dangerous water, sending them to their death.

Mermaids were beautiful sea fairies, others said; magical creatures whose nature was kind and gentle, thus violence towards them would severely be frowned upon.

But who could testify of the truth, if even the very existence of these beings was nothing more than a fairy tale?

To the east of the Immortal Sea was a prosperous port city, known by the name "Xian Jing", the "Heavenly Capital". A place where trades and cultures flourished the most with visitors from all corners of the world, little did people know that a part of this marvelous town was house to the vilest plague of the sea, plunderers and murderers: the pirates.

It was here that the story began; of a little tramp abandoned by his family, and a mysterious young man of unknown origin who graced him with kindness. By the twist of fate the two met; would it be a curse or a blessing lying in wait at the end of their path?

The Reaper's Claim II Ateez Pirate AU by CarAtiny_21
27 parts Ongoing
Aurora was never meant to be part of their world. She was just a simple map collector, a tiny flower seller with bright green eyes and an innocence that didn't belong in the filth of the seas. She never questioned the treasures she gathered-never thought twice when she purchased an old, tattered map with strange markings, drawn to it only because of its beauty. She didn't know it was the map. The one everyone was willing to kill for. The one that led to Wonderland. When the infamous pirate crew led by Captain Hongjoong arrives on her island, disguised among the locals, she meets Park Seonghwa-the captain's right hand, a man spoken of in hushed whispers, known as the Reaper of the Seas. Cold, ruthless, and deadly, he was nothing like the sweet and charming man who later convinced her to sell the map. And she had no idea that both men were part of the same crew. But before she could process her mistake, before she could even grasp that she had been nothing more than a pawn in a game far beyond her understanding-she was hunted. Marked as the last known owner of the map, Aurora barely escapes an ambush by assassins, fleeing blindly into the night. Desperate, she hides aboard what she thinks is an abandoned ship. But when the ship sets sail, and she is dragged before a crew of cutthroat pirates- pirates who already know her name- Aurora realizes her mistake. She has just boarded the ship of the Pirate Kings themselves. And Seonghwa is looking at her like she is nothing more than an inconvenience- one that will be dealt with, one way or another. - A dark, immersive novel steeped in blood, terror, and the excruciating tension of a man who was never meant to feel... and the woman who should have never survived his world. - #1- Choi Jongho- 28-02-2025 #2- Ateez ff- 28-02-2025

"Come on, Mizuki! Pleeeeaase~?" Rui frowned when Mizuki declined his request using Lingua Aquatilis, the ancient language of the merfolk. Rui had always longed to see what life was like on Terra Firma. He wanted to explore the above-water continent and learn about the culture of the sorcerers and the Lupus people. But, above all, he yearned to find out how the technology and the magic from up above worked! However, Rui was the son of the King of the merfolk; neither he nor his sister, Nene, were permitted to even graze the surface of the water with a single scale. This was because of the Old Debacle, as the merfolk called it. It was a war between the sorcerers and the merpeople. Once the merfolk were on the brink of losing, the young prince of Terra Firma at the time, named Solis, snuck out to the ocean one night and struck a deal with the opponent. If they promised that they would not hurt his people any longer, then he would tell the kingdom that he had eliminated the entirety of them in the darkness of the night with his magic. Sadly, Solis was a victim in a terrible outbreak, and he was killed by the circulating virus. Tsukasa was a descendant of the kind prince. Some called him the reincarnation of Solis himself due to his incredible power, but little did the townsfolk know that he had another thing in common with his deceased, famed ancestor... ...and neither did they know that he would find himself falling in love with a merman.

Not because of the storms, the depths, or the curses whispered by old sailors-but because something watches him from beneath the waves. As a boy, he made a grave mistake. He freed a creature that should have never been unchained. A being with cold, unblinking eyes and a hunger as deep as the ocean itself. He told himself it was over, that the sea would forget. But the sea does not forget. And neither do the things that dwell within it. Now, no matter how far he sails, no matter how many tides pass, he feels it. The pull. The weight of an unseen gaze. The quiet patience of something waiting just below the surface. He should have never looked into those eyes. He should have let it die. But it is too late for regrets. or | 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 a pirate, instead of finding a treasure, finds himself tangled in a mess with a certain merman.

She was supposed to die. She was supposed to meet her decay in the dark depths of the endless ocean but ended up in the arms of a mysterious being of the underwater world.
