Deep in the mountains, far from the bustling city, stands Ludus Academy, a prestigious private school shrouded in mystery. With its towering glass structures, biometric security, and cutting-edge technology, it feels less like a school and more like an experiment. Everything runs with eerie precision, from the moment students enroll to the strange test they must take upon arrival. But beneath its modern luxury lies a chilling truth-no one can leave once they enter.
Every midnight, the academy transforms into something else entirely. The halls fall silent, students succumb to sleep, and an invisible game begins. Only a select few remain awake-the hunters and the hunted. By sunrise, someone may be gone, and when the morning bell rings, the classroom becomes a court. A single vote determines life or death. One wrong decision, and the whole class could vanish.
Josh, the quiet yet sharp-minded auditor, knows the game better than most. He watches, he listens, and he plays along. And as secrets begin to unravel, Josh finds himself at the center of a conspiracy far bigger than anyone could have imagined.

Curse of the Astralis
On a cold winter night, beneath a sky heavy with swirling snowflakes, I arrived at the gates of my new school-an ancient fortress of stone and magic. The torches lining the grand staircase flickered in the wind, casting eerie shadows along the castle walls. This was no ordinary academy; it was a place where the most gifted wielders of magic trained, a school of legacy and power. As I stepped inside, the air buzzed with enchantment, the echoes of centuries past whispering through the halls. Here, knowledge was a weapon, secrets were currency, and danger lurked beneath the surface. I had come to make my mark, to claim my place in a world where my family's name carried both prestige and expectation. But I was not alone in my arrival-some had been waiting for me. Some welcomed me, others watched from the shadows. This was the beginning of something far greater than I could have imagined. Malia IronHeartComplete

Blackthorn Academy
At Blackthorn Academy, survival isn't just about grades-it's about power. The elite school for supernatural beings is a battlefield where alliances shift, rivalries simmer, and danger lurks around every corner. Cain Laurent never asked to be special. A werewolf-witch hybrid, he's spent his life suppressing the power in his blood, knowing it makes him a target. But when he's sent to Blackthorn, keeping a low profile isn't an option-especially when his presence unsettles even the strongest creatures on campus. The vampires see him as a threat. The werewolves see him as an anomaly. And Lucian Devereaux, the Vampire Prince, sees him as something far more dangerous. Lucian is everything Cain hates-cold, calculating, impossibly perfect. Their rivalry is instant, electric, and laced with an unspoken tension neither of them dares name. But when a new, deadly faction emerges-one that hunts hybrids like Cain-they're forced into an uneasy alliance. As the bodies pile up and secrets unravel, Cain must confront the truth of his own power... and the feelings he swore he'd never have. Enemies by nature. Partners by necessity. And something else entirely when no one's watching. But trust is a dangerous game at Blackthorn. And betrayal? Inevitable.
The Hunt
Trapped in a mysterious school with no clear way out, students must navigate a web of danger, betrayal, and hidden secrets. Is escape even possible? The rules are simple: break them, and you disappear. But within these walls, students can turn against each other in the battle for survival. Every day is a hunt, a deadly game that begins the moment the bell rings. Classroom C-3041 students share a single desperate goal: escape. But when a brutal Hunt wipes out a significant portion of the school's population, their mission shifts-now, they must find new students to fill the empty seats, or face punishment. The problem? Students are hardly trustworthy. In a school where sanity is a luxury and loyalty is fleeting, who can they count on? Terrance, the reluctant leader of C-3041, must keep his class alive while facing threats from within and outside the classroom. The rumors of a hidden school map, that supposedly reveals the location of the exit, might offer a chance at freedom. But when they risk everything to search for answers in the forbidden library, they uncover a map- that doesn't lead to an exit but to untouched, mysterious corners of the school. It promises a clue, but what if it's not just the school they need to escape from-but their own forgotten past? As they delve deeper into the school's darkest secrets, Terrance and his classmates must confront their shattered memories, surviving not only the dangers lurking in every corner but the ghosts of betrayal that threaten to tear them apart. In this school, it's not just about escaping-it's about staying sane long enough to uncover the truth.
