Bari, named after the legendary Korean princess who journeyed to the underworld, was a K-pop trainee on the verge of breaking, not from the industry's ruthless standards, but from an incurable illness that threatened to erase her, her soulmate, and her future.
At her lowest, Victor, a K-pop manager alluding to Frankenstein, offered her a desperate solution: the industry's first CRISPR-built idol, a genetically "perfected" version of Bari that would solve her problem. But was Victor a savior or something far worse?
Bari had hard battles to fight. Accompanied by her friend Ji-soon and guided by a Korean Mudang-a female shaman-she traversed into her own past as a living witness to a hidden lineage she never knew she had. There, she relived the brutal, many-lives battles between good and bad Korean shaman pigs: chaotic, totemic spirits that feed on human ambition and despair. Each vision cost her a piece of her present, but also unlocked a strange inner resilience.
Who was Bari? Could she debut as her true self-not a lab-made idol?

Life without Hiccup (Hiccup run away Fanfiction)
Hiccup ran away with Toothless and Astrid is the only one that knows everyone else thinks Hiccup was taken away by the Night Fury, just like Astrid told them. 2 years later and everyone is still a little sad about Hiccup but most have moved on, not Stoick. He's always keeping to himself, staying quiet, not eating or sleeping as much as he once did. He has fallen into a state of depression. Astrid just got back after a year of 'hunting the dragon that killed Hiccup' (really helping Hiccup build dragons edge and assembling a group of dragon riders) and is struggling keeping the secret about Hiccup still being alive. The only thing that is keeping her quiet is the thought of becoming a traitor to Berk and getting banished and her dragon Stormfly, a deadly nadder, being killed. A couple years after Astrid returns, things become normal again and Stoick starts coming out of his house more often. Everything is fine, that is until Astrid's Dragon Rider past catches up with her and threatens to spill all her secrets. This story is about how Berk deals with Hiccup disappearing and assumed dead, it'll normally be in Astrid's or Stoick's POV. Hiccup will be mentioned a lot and will be in a couple of chapters.

WHISPERS OF SERAVAR
The Island of Lumina is not a sanctuary. It is a prison-sealed by the gods themselves. For generations, its people have survived under the rule of two divine forces: the radiant crew, protectors of life, and the shadow-bound servants of death. Every massacre is blamed on the dark god Varkhul, whose name alone inspires fear. But when a calculated raid reduces a village to ashes, hunter Lyra witnesses something impossible-Varkhul's forces were not there to slaughter, but to search. In the aftermath, her closest friend Kaelen uncovers an ancient obsidian bracelet, a relic that should never have existed. It grants terrifying power, but at a cost: whispers, visions, and a slow unraveling of the mind. As something vast begins to stir beneath the island-the imprisoned god Seravar-Lyra is forced to confront a horrifying truth. The gods she trusted are not what they seem, and the boy she wants to protect may become the key to the world's destruction. The dead are rising. The prison is weakening. And Kaelen must decide whether to resist the whispers-or become something far worse than a god. Author note: This story is written by me and will be cross-posted on RoyalRoad

Lenore is a sphinx shifter. Rye is a monster hunter. The last thing either of them expected was to fall in love. Lenore doesn't like violence. She doesn't eat meat, or pick fights. But she's a sphinx, which is reason enough for anyone who learns her secret to think she's a bloodthirsty killer. So Lenore keeps to herself and her woods, intent to let the world go on without her. That is until he shows up. Rye is a hunter. There's nothing he hates more than the kin, and sphinxes especially, the vile creatures that killed his mother in front of him when he was just a boy. He's dedicated his life to avenging her death. And now he has a wounded sphinx in his sights. Nothing will stop him from making the kill... Enter Tarah and Marton Hastings, the dragon/human couple on a quest to save the world, one story at a time.

The journey they go on will shake them both to the core of who they are, and change their nation forever.
