Two brothers. One prophecy.
A city on edge. A prophecy whispered in secret.
In a world where holiness wears the face of sin, and sin carries the weight of holiness, who will rise, and who will be broken?
An irony of twins: one to bleed, one to bear. One to fall, one to endure.
Ocran and Blay - bound by destiny, named by contradiction. The Two Holy Sins.
The Lamb Beast - holy, yet slain to take away sin.
The Ox Beast - sin, yet set free to carry holiness.
Yet Ocran remembers nothing of who he truly is. All he knows is this: he has been summoned to Jankofa, promised that if he finds work there, he may see his brother again. But was he led toward destiny-or betrayal? Each step he takes risks not only his own life, but also the fragile lives of those he comes to love.
A young man walking unknowingly into destiny. Now pursued by powers that see him as threat, messiah, or executioner, even the hunt for the Cat Whale becomes only the beginning. For Ocran must confront the question that shadows his every breath:
Is he the Lamb who redeems, or the Ox who bears holiness in a jar of sin?

The Oracle
"With bloodied wings do those who want to make things right carry themselves and yet others instead only see the wrongs they believe them to be." In a world where creatures from nightmares roam, sixteen year old Akari Hana fights in order to keep humans like herself safe. Many years ago, a cataclysm occurred where the seven deadly sins and the seven heavenly virtues were born into human forms. Upon this, creatures of nightmares were also born out of the cataclysm. The seven sins and virtues then fought in order to keep the balance in the world. Over time, the world seemed to reach more of a balance. Now, the sins and virtues practice their crafts in an academy deep in a mystical jungle below the regular realm of the human world. This is where the prodigious Akari Hana has trained her entire life to fight alongside the sins and virtues to keep her world safe from the creatures that keep coming back. However, recently more creatures have been spawning and Akari has been tasked with finding out why. While being tasked with this quest, Akari stumbles upon a rather pressing dilemma. Shall she execute a rather dangerous and peculiar creature she comes across or will she enlist his help in saving the world? After all, humans can be monsters too.Complete
The Blood Of The Beast
Cover by: @wild_and_deadly Character banners by: @Alphagurl24 Incomplete. "Dressed in bronze chainmail armour like a snake's skin, a heavy silver, poison dipped arrow in his hand, a bow on the other, and face blocked off by his helmet, the knight stood his ground on top of the mountain's cliff as the dragon swooped down at him. On and on they went, shooting arrows and fire at each other, until the man was down to his last arrow. The evil, obsidian beast and its radiant blue flames had taken everything from him. And now he would do the same. But as he placed his last arrow on his bow, the dragon came down at him with his sharp, charcoal black talons and slashed at the knight. The beast tore through his armour and body, pushing him back with the powerful beating if his wings. As the young knight tumbled downhill, a strange beauty came running into the clearing at the bottom of the beast's layer. His helmet slipped off his head and revealed a bloody, bruised face. A familiar face. And it was only then, I realized the knight was me, and woke up with gasp." --- Find out what happens in Alex Beck's story, The Blood of the Beast.

Escaping the Monster's Embrace (OLD BEING REWRITTEN )
(Currently being rewritten under a new name The Claimed) Everything changed when they came out of hiding, terror spread across the world as people began to question if our presidents and our global leaders lied to us and weren't from the same race. The Beasts blended in amongst us as if we were the same, except humans didn't have the same predatory instincts and we couldn't change our forms like they could. Soon after we learnt that we weren't the only species people began going missing. Some were unlucky and taken as something that the Beasts called a Mate that one word made fear spread throughout my veins, I would rather sell my soul than have one of them mutts chain me to them. Six months went by before the government, that was un-tainted by this vile race began to take action into their own hands contacting other countries and militaries causing the great war to happen, sending both my parents off to fight for our rights. Only one of them came back, two months was the longest we lasted before we were overpowered by them. Six years of living in this dysfunctional environment and my hatred had never dwindled.

Vile Dominion
Disclaimer: This is my own work, if a character seem to be similar, it may be due to a coincidence or may also be because I was inspired of their work. I tried my best to make a unique content. In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide-navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world's control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)

For the Taking ✅
The girl with no wolf. An extra mouth to feed. A liability. A defenseless miscreation. Seraphina had heard it all. She had felt it all too. The bone aching bruises, the defenseless claw scratches just shy of her neck on the edges of her collarbone, she had seen it all too. It had been so long since it had started that she couldn't recall a time when the degradation was compliments and not insults. Now, it was all she ever expected. If she had known five years ago that not having a wolf would cause this much hate she would have begged her parents to move to another pack. It felt like an eternity since it all happened. Or rather what didn't happen. She still could not shift. She was defective. A mistake in the gene pool. But she didn't know she would end up like this. She couldn't have, just like she couldn't have expected to come face to face with the Alpha Slayer. A man casted in shadow. Not many had ever seen his face, but that didn't make him any less real. Alphas after all were dethroned from the likes of him. Word spreads quickly. So, when Seraphina ends up in his line of sight she has a lot more to figure out than just not having a wolf, because it very well might cost her, her life.

Retrogade of Expectations (BL)
In a world where fate is a bond, and a bond is a chain, one young man is about to discover that his destiny is his greatest nightmare. Hale Schneider has always been an outsider in his own pack. Quiet, artistic, and introspective, he sees the world differently-and for that, he has paid a price. His entire life, he has been the favorite target of Jacob Storm, the Alpha's golden son. Charismatic, powerful, and beloved by all, Jacob's public persona is flawless. But when the crowds are gone, his "lessons" for Hale are brutal, and everyone-from Hale's own family to his closest friends-dismisses it as "boys being boys," convinced Hale is just too sensitive, too dramatic. On his eighteenth birthday, the one day every young werewolf dreams of, Hale's world shatters. In a moment of painful irony, he discovers the truth that will forever bind him to his tormentor: Jacob Storm is his fated mate. In their world, the submissive wolf is the first to sense the bond, tasked with the sacred duty of revealing themselves. But how can Hale approach the man who has made his life a living hell? Consumed by self-loathing and defiance, he makes a choice that is both unthinkable and unforgivable: he hides the truth. As weeks turn into months, Hale retreats further into himself, a ghost haunted by a secret that is slowly eating him alive. Meanwhile, Jacob begins to suffer. The unmated bond, left unclaimed, twists inside him, transforming the pack's golden boy, future alpha, into something weak, sick, and dangerously unstable. He knows his mate is near, hiding from him, and the humiliation fuels a raging fire. The entire pack is on edge, desperate to find the one responsible for their future Alpha's decline. To deny a fated bond is the ultimate cowardice, a betrayal of their most sacred law. The hunt for the mysterious, disgraceful mate begins.

The Claimed
They said the Hunt was sacred. That if I was chosen, it meant fate. But fate didn't feel like a mouth on my skin or claws at my back. It felt like blood. Mine. For years, I stayed hidden. Quiet. Unclaimed. I stole seeds from the state fields, grew food in secret, fed my family from soil and silence. I did everything right - stayed beneath their radar, beneath their noses. I didn't make waves. I didn't ask for more. But monsters never forget a scent. And when the Hunt came, I was scented. Tracked. Taken. I stabbed him. I buried the blade in his shoulder and watched him bleed. It didn't matter. Because he still bit me. And the world saw. Now my face is on every screen. The girl who didn't run. The girl who fought back. Some call me a rebel. Some call me a mate. But they all forget one thing. I wasn't made to be claimed. I was made to survive. And if they want to collar me, cage me, crown me - they'll have to reckon with everything I've kept buried beneath the roots. Because I am not the flower. I'm the fire beneath it.
