In the ruins of the Marionette Theater, Ash hangs between memory and motion. Their limbs bend too smoothly. Their thoughts echo like rehearsed lines. They were never born-they were assembled. And now, the strings are starting to tighten.
After inheriting the decaying theater from a mother they barely knew, Ash returns to Gravenhurst expecting dust and silence. Instead, they find a stage that remembers. Whispers drift from behind the velvet curtain. Shadows twitch in the wings. And the marionettes backstage look eerily familiar.
Ash begins to unravel the truth: they are not just haunted by the past-they are part of it. Crafted for a role they never chose, trapped in a performance that never ends, Ash must decide whether to follow the script... or cut the strings.

They found each other in corridors steeped in omen, their eyes meeting as if they had done so for centuries. His sorrow recognized her fury; her tenderness understood his ruin. Their love was not a choice but an inheritance, whispered by the heavens, sealed in the marrow of their bones. The world stood against them.

Their love was no sanctuary. It was a doom both holy and profane, a sacrament carved into the stars with the same hand that wrote death.
Once Upon a Fairytale
Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself. And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.Completa

A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence.

The Demon's Promise
Left on a lonely beach as a child, Seren was found by a kind couple and raised in a quiet coastal village - but the sea never forgot her, and neither did the darkness that brought her there. As Seren grows, strange things follow her: flickers of power, whispers in her dreams, a feeling that something is waiting just beyond the waves. Despite her warmth and quick wit, she's a troubled girl - haunted by visions she can't explain and a voice that sounds too much like her own. When tragedy strikes and Seren falls into a coma, she awakens in a world between life and death... and comes face-to-face with the truth: her mother is no human. She is a demon - ancient, furious, and ready to reclaim what she made. Seren escapes back to her world believing her mother's lies of love and redemption. But as the years pass, the sky begins to fracture, the oceans burn, and the truth surfaces - her mother is the one ending everything. Now, with her powers spiraling out of control and the world collapsing around her, Seren must face the woman who gave her life... and may be forced to take it away.Completa
The Forgotten nameless and the elf princess
Long ago, the Void claimed a soul of humankind, stripping away their name, their history, their face. All memory of them faded from the world, save for the chorus of whispers the Void left behind. Thus they became The Nameless Whispered One - forgotten, yet forever haunted. But though the Void unmade them, it also left them tools. The Nameless moved like a shadow across stone, their steps forgotten as soon as they were made. Doors barred to others opened at their touch, for no lock remembered to resist them. Their daggers struck unseen, their enemies already fallen before their names could be spoken. Where others saw a curse, the Nameless carried silence as a blade. Yet even shadows need an anchor. In the halls of the evergreen court lived a princess, ageless as the trees from which her crown was carved. Her memory was unbroken, her gaze unshaken. Where all others forgot the Nameless moments after meeting them, the princess remembered. Always. She walked beside them when no one else could. She stayed their hand when the whispers urged blood. She gave them a place in her story, when they had none of their own. The people feared her choice. They whispered that she risked her throne and her immortal line by binding herself to a soul touched by the Void. But still she kept the Nameless at her side - the forgotten blade and the eternal princess. Together they became a legend: one lost, one unyielding. The Nameless slipped through shadows, unseen and unremembered, while the princess stood radiant, the only one who could call them back from the abyss. And so the tale is told: when a shadow passes silently through the forest and no one recalls its shape, it is the Nameless at work. And when you see a lone princess walking the moonlit woods, know she is not alone - for her memory is the one chain the Void itself could not break.
Shadows Of The Past
She lost her memories, but fire never forgets. Alina Eliza Lloyd woke up in a hospital with no memories, no identity-just a name that didn't feel like her own. Her fiancé, Lee Akio, claims she belongs to him. That she's "safe" in the Penthouse. That she has no friends, no family, nowhere else to go. But something feels wrong. Fragments of dreams begin to surface - of soaring through the sky, of whispers calling her name. Of a life that doesn't match the one she's told she lived. Yet every time she reaches for the truth, she's met with silence. Secrets. Lies. One smirks at her pain, and the other hesitates to speak. The staff watched her with knowing eyes. And Akio? He holds the key to everything-but refuses to let her in. Alina is trapped in glass and silver, locked away in a life she can't remember. But if her past is lost, why is she haunted by its shaodws
