    (This is made on April 27th, 2026, and it is Ongoing) The Digital World does not forget. It does not sleep. It watches. Days have passed and still on the year 2030 since the fall of Myotismon, since the sky split open and a new generation of Tamers proved to the world that destiny does not choose the worthy. It makes them... With the school term behind them, Tomi and her team step through the gate for the first time. Their destination, File City. The beating heart of a world that has survived things human history has no words for. But the Digital World has not rolled out a welcome mat. Something is already waiting for them. It calls itself the Battle Star Tournament... a grand spectacle, a collision of power, a stage built for Digimon and Digimon alone and yet... an invitation has been extended. Specifically... Deliberately... To Tomi and her team... to the New Generation.... The one who extends it calls himself the Gamemaster. His face is unknown. His reasons are unknown. His power... enough to seal the telecommunication network between worlds and smile about it. There is no going home. Not until the final battle is won. Somewhere in the city, a small Digimon whimpers in her sleep... Meicoomon is dreaming again and whatever she sees in those dreams... It has already begun... (Book: 2/6)

    Disclaimer in case of initial confusion: This story is separated into for parts, for each character. The structure is presented like so: Sear: 2 Chapters Midnight: 2 Chapters Subceral: 2 Chapters Strider: 2 Chapters Almost the entirety of the story follows this formula, so hopefully, that is not too off-putting. But now for the actual description: Sparkheart is the story of four different beings, all told in parallel. Sear chases after answers regarding inexplicable mysteries he constantly experiences. Strange visions and memories, bizarre occurrences... Nothing made sense. Things look promising for his search when the strangeness escalates, but as it turns out... answers will always be out of reach. Midnight's friends have slowly singled her out, avoiding her and all around making her feel miserable, and whether it is intentional or not, she could never tell. She fully intends to give up on friendship altogether... until meeting someone who might change her mind. Subceral is a terrible person, and she knows. But she doesn't mind, even if things were not always that way. She always attributed the change to adolescence... but discovers that there may be something else behind it. Something... unnatural. Strider, an entity seeking to restore what once was, does what he can to uphold his duty and combat the dark forces. But his true mission is to restore a sacred connection... the connection of the four. Finished story is on Scribblehub, and Chapters to be posted on Royalroad(to be determined).

    ⚠️Warnings⚠️ : 1) English it's not my first language. 2) I drew the ocs so don't steal my art 3) 14+ contains: Blo0d, g0re, unhealthy obsession, teen pregnancy, self h@rm, su!cide, forced marriage, s€xual @buse, c@nnibalism, young d€ath. 4) Streets, Avanues, Schools and most of the places in this book arent's real. A doomed group of friends, that lives in a unknown country and city, probably in Europe, with a lot of problems in life, they all look for the same thing but the end of the day they are all damned. Three children meet in the bright hum of a kindergarten classroom: Claire, all sunlight and big plans; Zack, quiet and serious beyond his years; and Tobias, whose worn raccoon plush and watchful eyes never stray far from the other two. Their friendship begins with crayons and crooked towers, but even in those first innocent moments, Tobias clings to them with an intensity that doesn't quite fit the room's soft colors. Claire's laugh rings too bright, Zack's careful hands seem too fragile-and Tobias holds their small world together as if he already senses how easily things, and people, can be lost. I'll make a comic on WEBTOON if the first chapter will be popular enough. Enjoy

    Changbin isn't looking for anything permanent. Not after everything. Then he meets Jinyan. It starts small - shared jokes, lingering glances, the kind of quiet understanding that feels dangerous because it feels real. Jinyan is warm where Changbin is guarded, steady where he is restless. With him, the future doesn't feel like something to survive. It feels possible. And that's the problem. Because some loves burn bright enough to change you forever... even if they don't last forever.

    True strength isn't measured by who you can defeat. It's defined by who you choose not to destroy. From the ashes of three beloved tales comes a single, cohesive chronicle-a rebooted odyssey of destiny, consequence, and rebellion. The Definitive Edition weaves together the legacies of those who came before, those who endured, and those who dared to change everything. A reimagined epic. A fate rewritten. A world reborn. This is not just a continuation. This is a rebirth. // DO NOT BE FRIGHTENED BY THE READ TIME!

If you have not seen it or plan to see it, this AU will contain spoilers. If you do not plan to see it, then read at your own risk.

    In which the Ultimate Linguist finds herself trapped in the Killing Game, and has to reckon with the idea that others might not be as predictable as she once thought. OR: If Akira Sakamoto understands anything, it's human communication. She knows how people's voices change when they're afraid, how they'll use certain tactics to drive conversations in a specific direction, and how their word choices can mean the difference between guilt and innocence, no matter how trivial they might seem. When Hope's Peak Academy doesn't turn out to be quite what she expected when she was invited to attend as their Ultimate Linguist, she should be perfectly equipped to survive and work with her classmates to uncover the truths of the mysteries surrounding their situation. Unfortunately, life in the killing game would never be that simple, and Akira finds herself faced with a group of people who rarely fit the patterns that she's become so familiar with. As she investigates murders committed by teenagers, participates in court cases mediated by a psychotic teddy bear, and interacts with her classmates (some of whom seem determined to remain unreadable), Akira is forced to reevaluate her worldview in order to survive and fight the mastermind.
