Xernic awakens in the Netherrealm with no memories of who he was or the life he once lived. Armed only with strange instincts and abilities he cannot fully understand, he is forced into a world where death is merely another beginning, and every resurrection comes at a cost. The Netherrealm is not a place of redemption. It is a place of judgment. Monsters roam an endless violet wasteland, forgotten souls cling to fragments of their past, and survival demands far more than strength. Every choice tests the body, the mind, and the soul. Every victory reveals another truth better left buried. Alongside the mysterious veteran Hestia, Xernic struggles to survive while piecing together the shattered remains of his identity. Yet the more he learns, the more unsettling his own existence becomes. His instincts grow sharper, his path deepens, and memories he cannot understand begin to surface-memories of chains, slavery, and a freedom that may never have existed. In the Netherrealm, the greatest enemy is not always the beast before you. Sometimes... it is the person you used to be.

Post-abstraction Jax story. Jax has now fully abstracted, with no grasp on his life in the Circus anymore. Or... that's what he thought. He opens his eyes and a blinding light stabs him. Where is he? He feels soft grass underneath his feet. A gentle breeze rustles his fur. He looks around. There's... other people there too. The sky is a soft blue. The sun is hidden behind the clouds. The trees in the grassland shade areas of it. Other people are sitting at a picnic blanket, eating and talking. They look peaceful and happy. Jax feels peaceful and happy. Nothing like he felt in the Circus. For once, his mind feels...empty. Like thoughts aren't at war in his mind. Jax takes a deep breath and looks around. Under another tree on a hill sit two figures. They're too far away to make out, but their silhouettes are laughing and talking. Jax, curious as he is, makes his way up the hill and approaches the figures. The figures come in to view. Jax's heart stops. They're both recognizable now. One is a tall green and white frog with a red bowtie. She looks at him, then stops. Her eyes immediately shimmer with tears. The other is a tall clown. He glances over after the frog does, and a hand goes to his mouth. The frog speaks first. "Jax!" she cries, her voice breaking. She thrusts herself forward and collapses into his chest, wrapping her arms around him in a hug. "Please tell me it's really you." Jax just blinks, tears starting to form in his eyes as well. "I -" he tries to say, before his voice cracks and he hugs the frog back. The frog releases Jax after a moment, wiping a tear from his face. "I missed you, moron." she explains with a watery laugh. "I missed you, too," Jax sniffles. The clown steps forward, ruffling the fur on top of Jax's head. "We missed you a lot, man," he admits, glancing away before holding steady eye contact again. "I'm sorry," Jax replies. "There's nothing to be sorry for." the frog reassures him. "We're just glad you're finally home."

My debut Ln, in which the protagonist Satoshi Katsurou goes through a seemingly ordinary death. Expecting to be reincarnated in heaven, he ends up in an afterlife that is just as harsh as the real world. Waking up in the afterlife Katsurou finds himself in a world where Death actively performs compassion, a son racing to godhood, and a daughter who can perceive what seems to be infinite possibilities. The divine family carries the weight of the world they destroy and nurture simultaneously, a world that they could destroy should they be off by a mere milliseconds. This story isn't your typical power fantasy nor is it entirely polished, the first couple of chapters are a deterrent but the later chapters (90+) are what makes this story worth investing in!

While searching for her grave, they are being haunted by mysterious entities and voices, that leaded to Tanzen's death.

Now she's neither alive nor dead, Unresolved, hunted by something ancient that's been waiting centuries to slip through the door her stolen soul just opened. And the truth behind why she keeps finding her way back to him, life after life, is bigger and older than either of them ever imagined. He broke the one rule that was never his to break. Now they have four days to uncover a four-thousand-year-old secret before her four hundredth death becomes her last.

Nirael🌿 Life has always had rules. The dead stay dead. Memories belong to those who lived them. And nightmares disappear when morning comes. But what happens when one of those rules is broken? Nirael's life begins with quiet mornings, family, and ordinary days. Then small things start going wrong. A child draws a place that doesn't exist. A clock moves in the wrong direction. A door appears where there should be a wall. And somewhere nearby, someone remembers a person who was never born. At first, they are only strange little incidents. Until the world begins to notice. Some boundaries exist for a reason. And when humanity crosses one of them... something on the other side notices.

What happens when you die at sixteen... and thirty years later, you're still wingless? Meet Ji-sun - a blue-haired, overly curious, slightly chaotic soul who's been stuck in the Middle Plane for three decades. Her dream? Earn her wings and join the angel army. The problem? Apparently, wings aren't exactly something you can order from heaven. The seven Archangels can't give her wings even if they want to. So instead, they give her seven golden feathers and send her to Earth on her first real assignment. Her mission? Guard one mortal. Han Seo-jun. A successful, handsome, painfully boring man who has a stable job, a nice apartment, absolutely no social life, and apparently considers running on a treadmill for an hour fun.

After you die... you don't go to Heaven. You don't go to Hell. You go to Avakol. When sixteen-year-old Tom is hit by a car trying to save his best friend, he expects darkness. Nothingness. The end. Instead, he wakes up somewhere impossible. A place where the dead are trained. A place ruled by three rival factions. A place where power comes from something inside you... and not everyone survives learning how to control it. As Tom and Darla are forced to choose between order, balance, and chaos, it quickly becomes clear that Avakol isn't just an afterlife. It's a battleground. And when a rare power awakens inside Tom-one tied to the origins of Avakol itself-he becomes something far more dangerous than just another recruit. Now, with secrets buried deep in the system and enemies watching from the shadows, Tom must decide: Follow the rules... Break them... Or discover what happens to those who don't belong anywhere. Because in Avakol, death is only the beginning. Updates every Monday, Wednesday & Friday!

A woman's final winter becomes a quiet journey home guided by the love waiting for her.

A group of people finds themselves somewhere else... a place that shouldn't exist. An endless labyrinth of darkness, its walls shifting and vanishing whenever the light fades. Their only source of illumination is a fragile candle, barely bright enough to fully reveal the darkness in front of them. They don't know how they got here. They don't remember ever meeting. But something is watching them from the shadows, lurking just beyond the edges of their light. The longer they stay in this place, the more they forget who they are, where they came from, and why they were brought here in the first place. Somewhere in the darkness, an exit exists. But reaching it means surviving the nightmare long enough to find it. And in a world where even memories can be swallowed whole, escaping may not be as simple as waking up.
