A surgeon cannot heal without first cutting away the rotten flesh.

Two young men, Zenji and Kurinai, one an outcast and the other an heir, seek to reform their nation within its own ashes of gilded glory and heinous honor to bring about real peace, not a shallow covering over the festering boils of corruption in Tokeyama, Capital city of Control. 

Their rebellion requires unveiling the horror of the underground, vigilante justice revealing the darkness below. But the murk's roots run deep and refuse to budge so easily. A great strength is needed to smash the filth back into the depths. 

However, that same strength sends waves, and cracks that go deeper and deeper which perhaps will save not only their nation but the others on the continent as well. 

Or it may destroy them instead...

Pandemonium by Laughing_Ace_J
13 parts Ongoing Mature
When the heavens burned, the flames of hell nearly extinguished and the earth was swallowed in darkness. Angels and demons forged an uneasy alliance against an ancient and forgotten race-the Eldritcheirs, beings born from the cosmic horrors that predate creation itself. From this fragile union, three children were born-each one a unique combination of angel, demon, and Eldritch power. These children, including Dante, were destined to wield unimaginable abilities, their very existence a potential salvation or destruction for all realms. Though they are united by their purpose, the siblings are bound by more than just their shared origins. Like any family, they feud, argue, and betray each other. As the Eldritcheirs rise once again, unleashing chaos across worlds, Dante and his siblings must face not only the horrors of their origins but the consequences of their fractured bond. Their greatest enemies may not just be the forces of heaven, hell or the cosmos-but each other. With the fate of all realms hanging in the balance, the siblings must decide: will they unite against their common foe, or will their feuds lead to their own downfall?

11 parts Ongoing Mature
FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." 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--where 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 Mature Contents: gore, violence, and subtle depictions of abuse, substance use, and suicide.

Heros Can Be Monsters Too by PresidentThanos
7 parts Ongoing Mature
Izuku Midoriya was born with a great quirk, well that's what his mother always said. Though he knew the truth, he knew why there were always heros around when he went outside, people were afraid of him and his power, and he couldn't blame them. He would be scared too if a child had the amount of power he had. He was awoken one night by the sound of his window opening and someone entering, before he could jolt up or scream a gun barrel was put to his head. Behind it he could see eyes, eyes of a hero, eyes of someone who didn't want to be there. Just before he was sure he was about to be killed, she put her barrel away and collapsed to the ground in tears. Both of them monsters in their own right, both seeking to help others, both helping each other along the way. I own nothing but the story. As usual, One For All will be going to someone different.
