The town of Sirensport lay on the misty coasts of old Acrumholdt. Here the townsfolk go about their quiet lives, fishing and trading. No one talks about the rundown manor that sits on the southern cliffs, like a withered tyrant. Here silence bares its long fangs at the questions made by the occasional visitor.

No one takes the branching path through the forest on the road out of town that winds up the slope to the manor door. No one recalls the eccentric builder and landlord. Sirensport townsfolk trade their curiosity for good solid advice: stay the hell out of Acrumholdt Manor.
A silent stranger arrives one day, hellbent on entering the desolate old building. He puts the rumors - mere fabrications of those who were denied answers - to the test.

With the help of a mysterious merchant camped outside the hold, he sets out to find the treasure among the ever-shifting residence. Even if it kills him a thousand times.

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246
12 parts Complete
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.

62 parts Complete Mature

Help him!? Help the prince of the kingdom that locked me up? Joining that man is the second last thing I want to do. The very last thing is to go back to the cell they've held me in for years. That's the deal the dark, intimidating prince offers me - use my curse to his benefit, and I'll be granted my freedom. What the prince doesn't know is that I made a vow - a vow to never harm anyone with my curse again. I agree to his bargain, but I must escape his grasp before I'm expected to fulfill my end. But escape isn't easy when the prince refuses to take his eyes off me. He's the first man to see beyond my curse, to see the girl beneath who just wants to belong. With time, I too learn to see past his frightening uniform and prestigious titles. My heart aches over the secrets I'm forced to keep from him, secrets that will bring his whole world crashing down.
