Once a devoted monk, now exiled and nameless, Sanwu walks through the ruins of a world he helped break. Branded The Unbound, haunted by dreams that aren't his own, he alone hears the bells that no longer ring.

When a girl with a cursed spirit crosses his path, and a child who whispers to ghosts begins to follow, Sanwu finds himself at the heart of a growing storm. Relic hunters chase echoes of power. A death cult rises in the ashes. And the War God he once released threatens to rise again.

To stop it, Sanwu must sacrifice more than his past.
He must decide if redemption is worth becoming no one at all.

A quiet, spiritual fantasy about memory, guilt, and the weight of names.
When the bells call again, will he answer? A Korean-inspired dark fantasy.

Silver Hunger by SleepyMoth666
15 parts Ongoing
In the quiet town of Eldermere, life is simple for Lyric, a quirky and fiercely independent painter nearly finished with college, who dreams of opening her own studio where she can teach art to children and share her work with the world. By day, she works among the dusty shelves of a historical bookstore, and on weekends she spends her time with Vira, whose bold, impulsive energy perfectly offsets Lyric's quiet and careful nature. After surviving a harrowing abusive relationship that ended in a murder attempt, she is wary of men, trusts few, and guards her heart closely, having sworn off romance entirely. Then Valentine steps into her life. Elegant, enigmatic, and unsettlingly poise, he carries an old-world charm that feels both intoxicating and wrong. Beneath his polished exterior lies a darkness older than Eldermere itself: a vampire burdened by the ghost of a woman he lost seventy years ago, one who looks exactly like Lyric. As Valentine draws near, Lyric's carefully ordered world shifts between fascination and caution. She allows a wary friendship to develop, intrigued by his presence but unsure what to trust. Haunted by his past, Valentine cannot resist unraveling the mystery of this living reflection of the wife he lost seventy years ago. Lyric cannot deny the magnetic pull he exerts over her. He's unlike any man she has met, elusive and arcane, and part of her senses a dangerous truth lurking beneath his perfection.
A Shattered Peace (An Epic Fantasy Tale) by Eternauta86
58 parts Ongoing
The kingdom is sleeping. The monsters are not. An ancient enemy has returned, and Argren is bleeding. Goblins, ogres, and the undead march under the banner of a shadowy power, and the northern frontier is the first to burn. Sir Ronigren, a cynical knight who'd rather be at the bottom of a tankard, is the only thing standing in their way. He's no chosen one, but he's all they've got. Sabine, a girl of impossible height and a forgotten lineage, holds a power that could shatter mountains. She may be the kingdom's last hope, or the catalyst for its final doom. Thrown together by fate, they must lead a band of outcasts on a desperate quest to awaken a forgotten magic before the world is plunged into eternal silence. But in a war fought with steel and sorcery, the deepest wounds are caused by betrayal, and the enemy is already inside the gates.

Quick Transmigration: After I Got the Vicious Mother-in-Law Script by LingYuexin
187 parts Complete
Title: Quick Transmigration: After I Got the Vicious Mother-in-Law Script Synopsis: [Quick Transmigration • Healing • Counterattack • No Romance] Li Qing never expected to wake up inside one story after another, each time as the same person: the vicious mother-in-law. Her mission? To make amends for the regrets of every fallen matriarch, to rewrite their fates, and to prove that even the most hated roles deserve redemption. ---- World One: In a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" novel, the scumbag male lead toyed with women while his wife suffered in silence. Li Qing straightened her daughter-in-law's spine and taught her to walk away with her head held high. ---- World Two: In a "real and fake heiress" tale, the real daughter was cast aside and left to die unloved. Li Qing shielded her granddaughter, slapped sense into her useless parents, and kicked out the usurping fake heiress. ---- World Three: In an '80s family drama, her unfilial son's cruelty drove his wife to her grave. Li Qing beat him back into decency and raised the daughter-in-law he'd destroyed to prominence. ---- World Four: In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, her own blood abandoned her for survival. Li Qing took her granddaughter's hand, awakened their powers, built a fortress, and nailed a sign at the gate: "Those two dogs are not allowed inside." ---- And so the legend of Li Qing spread across countless worlds. Years later, even the agents of the Time-Space Bureau searched for the secret of her success. When asked what made her unstoppable, Li Qing only smiled and said- "Because I am kind."
