    Aimlessly, Donna was plodding sluggishly. The clock had hit the 4 am. She was in the search of peace and was wandering on countryside to find serenity. She wanted her mind to stay tranquil rather than filled by chaos. It was still dark. Moon was glinting. Everyone was in deep slumber but she was restless and plodding. It was the end of spring in Italy. She was at the EUR district. She looked at the beauty of that place. The trees of cherry blossoms bloomed already. But some splendid beauty of those blossoms still alive. She stirred and moved forward. A single blossom bloomed and landed on her cheek. She thumped it and looked. It was like blossoms wanted to say, "stay happy and enjoy the beauty of this world. Don't let anyone to invade your tranquil life. Let the thing dropped on their own." Again, a blossom landed on her nose. The blossoming started. She curved her lips into a smile. "Daughter, always remember that these cherry blossoms are the flower of birth, so delicate and fragile like a human existence. It cherishes and blooms the world and then disappears leaving behind their rare splendour beauty." She was reminding her mother's word when she was five, which made a gush of blood flow into her veins. --------------------------------------------------------- Date- 6 July, 2020, from today, I am going to edit my this book again as it is not upto mark for me and I want to do justice with my book!! Caution- i write the story when I was 16, so it may become cringe sometimes.

    Rin Fujiwara has always seen the things that hide in the dark. Shadows that breathe. Spirits that linger. A whisper of power curling beneath her skin. When a supernatural attack kills her mother, Rin is taken to the Fujiwara estate - an old, haunted place ruled by a Great-Grandmother whose spiritual strength is matched only by her cruelty. Here, yokai walk the halls. Secrets rot beneath the floorboards. And Rin's own awakening power becomes both weapon and curse. To survive, Rin must learn the rules of this dangerous world - or be broken by it. But mastering her spiritual energy may come at a cost she never imagined. A dark, emotional coming-of-age tale steeped in Japanese folklore, family bonds, trauma, and forbidden power.

When the popular Kobayashi Rui of Doshisha private academy takes her own life by jumping in front of a metro train, a first year; Minase is unable to shake the feeling that Rui was killed instead.

Every time she steps onto the platform, she hears snippets of Rui's voice as well as conversations playing from the hung up telephone, but no one else seems to be able to hear it. Over time, the snippets of conversation turn to pleas for help, distorted screams and recordings of Rui's last moments, revealing ugly truths one after another. The whole city is changing; crows perch everywhere in Kyoto, along with supernatural happenings that shouldn't be there. Minase sets off to find out Rui's killer before it's too late, except now, her fate is too far down the twisted path to easily steer away.

    Six years after having been sentenced to life imprisonment for the massacre of her entire village, Shun Shutsuki is recruited by the master of Gushiken Paranormal Organization and taken out of prison. Shun is the possessor of the Godai Shakujō, a hereditary ability of the Shutsuki Clan, which appears only once in several generations and manifests itself in the form of a powerful anti-monster weapon. According to Kagami Gushiken, the master of the Organization, Shun wasn't herself during the massacre; she was possessed by a demon. However, this does not appear to be the entire truth; only Doctor Tsunan Hitachiin and the Master seem to know exactly what happened that fateful night. Evidently, the other members of the Organization are not at ease- to say the least- with the idea of having a "mass murderer" amongst them, with Tsunan's fan-club being particularly averse to Shun's presence within the organization. Even if monsters are absolutely real, none of them believe in the existence of demons and much less in demonic possession. Everything becomes complicated when Naoto Higaonna, an ex-member of the organization- who is now working as a high-school teacher- kills a group of students out of the blue before committing suicide. Things become even more complicated when the members of the Organization discover that Shun is constantly being hounded and persecuted by a certain Tadashi Honjō, with whom Shun seems to share a long-time bond. Who is Tadashi Honjō? Or rather, what is he? But, above it all, who is Subaru? What is Shun hiding so desperately? Will she be able to survive within the Organization? Will she return safely from the missions assigned to her? Author's Note: This story is dedicated to all the fans of manga and anime.

    Yasu Masashige had just wanted to live a normal life, but when his friends disappear, he must venture into his school's depths to find them. There, he discovers a realm forgotten by the world itself. Countless horrors lurk behind every corner as he attempts to discover the truth behind the mystery. One thing is for sure though: all of this isn't real. Everything is but a MIMIC of his own reality. Authors Notes: Yo! I'm Ruwsh, just a humble teenage writer trying to make a novella of The Mimic! The game is pretty dear to me, one of the best and most memorable Roblox horror games I've ever played. So here's what y'all can expect: -Chapters written from the canon (with slight differences for plot purposes) -No romance. -TW: Blood and Gore -Properly written chapters. -Original art made by my brother! Probably one image per chapter. -Updates aren't a guarantee. (They just happen whenever I feel like it honestly) Cover is made by my brother! SHOUTOUT TO HIM! Also check out the original game on Roblox! It's pretty cool tbh. Updates: Chapters 1-3 are being reworked with the introduction of more proper grammar. This is to ensure my current quality is equally spread out. Chapter 4 is currently a work in progress.
