When a beloved young researcher is found burned alive inside his own office, it triggers a chain of events that shatters the corporate façade of Prosud, the powerful family-run empire he served.

Desperate for answers, his grieving girlfriend discovers a hidden maze of forged finances, chilling conspiracies, and a darkness that isn't just metaphorical. As she pieces together coded messages and half-whispered warnings, unsettling visions of her lost love begin haunting her at every turn-visions that speak of vengeance and a demonic presence lurking behind the company's glossy walls.

Torn between the all-too-real dangers of ruthless executives and the unearthly secrets pursuing her, she forges an uneasy alliance with a jaded detective. But with shadowy figures closing in and an ancient evil hungering for every last shred of hope, can she uncover her beloved's final secret before the demon takes everything-and everyone-she has left?

Prepare for a noir-infused, supernatural thriller of grief, obsession, and a love strong enough to defy the grave. Because in this city, the rain never stops falling... and the dead refuse to rest.

The deep by DecayingGodess
13 parts Ongoing Mature
A young woman, her past shrouded in shadows, teeters on the brink of oblivion, by her own hand. Captivating but challenging, she draws others in with an irresistible pull. Unafraid to unleash her sharp tongue like a deadly blade or use her claws, honed to perfection. She emanates a chilling aura that could freeze one's very soul, her eyes infused with the cunning of a fox. Though she has many twisted secrets and desires, she can not face them alone, in order to rise from the ashes, she must let go of any inhibitions, give herself completely to the temptations, and accept what fate has bestowed upon her. Especially if fate is wrapped up in such a sinful devastatingly gorgeous package. He is a wealthy surgeon concealing a darkness beneath his unearthly beauty. He exudes both rugged strength and gentle kindness, yet what he hides behind that meticulously constructed mask, is the inner demon, a beast that has an insatiable lust for desire and pleasure, and to claim what he perceives to belong to him. He is a downright psychopath underneath his carefully curated facade of caring protector. His protection is obsessive in its truest form, and he must embrace it no matter the cost. It's as if she had been plucked from the depths of hell to test him, unraveling the intricately woven veil he uses to shield himself. And perhaps he is exactly what she needs to bury her tumultuous past, and step in to her own era of psychotic dark goddess energy, even if only for a fleeting moment. Both carry unsettling truths within them and as they are thrust together in unavoidable proximity amidst spicy themes of seduction, their facades will begin to crumble. The outcome hangs precariously between mutual destruction or obliterating anyone who dares come between their enigmatic bond.

Whispers of the Abyss

54 parts Ongoing

The city is plagued by whispers-shadows that slither through alleyways, unseen hands that brush against skin in the dead of night. Seraphina Duskborne has always felt them watching, lurking just beyond her reach. But when one finally steps into the light, she realizes she was never meant to be ordinary. Lucian, a being woven from darkness and desire, was sent to claim her soul. Bound to the Abyss, he is a hunter of wayward fates-a creature with no heart, no mercy. Yet, something about Seraphina unsettles him, tempts him, makes him hunger in ways he shouldn't. She is not just a mortal. And he is not just her executioner. As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power. Lucian is both her captor and her obsession, his touch sinful, his presence inescapable. But there are greater forces at play-forces that want her dead, and Lucian broken. In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?
