Dark's journey begins with a simple vision: to shape a safer, better world. But as the path unfolds, it twists into a relentless descent into blood-soaked battlefields, impossible transformations, and the haunting echoes of his own unraveling humanity.

Amidst the chaos of a world shaped by forces neither named nor fully understood, Dark faces foes whose power defies reason and allies whose motives remain as shadowed as his own. Each battle draws him deeper into a web of secrets and forgotten truths, as his growing strength threatens to consume him completely.

This is a story of relentless survival, where answers are hidden between fragments of shattered lives and fleeting whispers of a larger design. In a world ruled by combat, resilience, and sacrifice, one question remains: will Dark lose himself to the abyss, or 
emerge as something more?

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." Five friends embark on a quest to thwart an all-out cryptid-human war ... while the human-clothed creature among them resists the urging hunger to ravage his companions. When the Cardinal Empire and Nyrhaea's time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a broken swordsman, a spoiled electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the apocalyptic war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour he'll fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world, the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to free him from the shackles of fate--an antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a world beyond saving where trust, sanity, and long-term camaraderie are put to the test? And where the purpose of life is questioned? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and dark psychological elements.

A Secret Grave: Of Lost Promise by BoloKing7

In a world haunted by the echoes of an ancient catastrophe, Enzio Veylen carries a curse bound to his very soul-an arcane sigil that once fueled the power of a fallen god. Severed from its original master, the Bloodstone Curse now festers within him, growing stronger, hungering for something unknown. Fleeing from both the empire's watchful gaze and the remnants of a cult seeking to reclaim the lost magic, Enzio and his reluctant allies-Tain, a battle-worn deserter seeking redemption, and Isolde, a scholar of forbidden knowledge-journey into the forgotten wilds in search of a cure. But with every step, the sigil tightens its grip, warping reality around him and drawing shadows from beyond the veil. As they uncover lost secrets buried beneath ruined fortresses and haunted catacombs, Enzio realizes his burden is far greater than a mere curse. It is a key-one that could either seal away a forgotten evil forever or unleash an apocalypse greater than any before. And time is running out. With the empire's inquisitors, mercenary hunters, and something far older closing in, Enzio must decide: will he fight to control the curse, or will it consume him first?

Chains are the only thing that the human race was well known for. Initially, the human race was a mess of chaos and madness. These sinners have been disrespecting the way of life, not knowing the fate that will occur to them. Scream, cry, terror, all of these traits of despair and sadness started to spread ever since that fateful day, the day when these "supernatural" creatures decided to attack. Men, women, and even children. No one was safe from this bloodshed, oozing out of the towns, cities, and even countries. There's nowhere in this world where the human race wasn't mistreated, like scum under the earth. People blame those who had sinned over the years, but in reality, this was humanity's fate. It's humanity that brings terror and destruction to this world, or their world. Time passed, and the survivors hiding after the bloodshed got captured. The human race was no more than "pets" or "playthings" to the supernatural. Now, two people, a boy, and a girl, must find a way out of this world called H.E.L.L.

Kuro: A Land in Eternal Night by MichaelLimjoco

Now back on ��! ---- In a land covered in eternal night, a young girl's light is all that stands between Mankind and the Forces of Darkness. When the Sun Goddess vanished under mysterious circumstances a thousand years ago, she left the land of Kuro blanketed in eternal night. Over time, the people learn to harness what remains of the Goddess: the precious and finite resource known as the Goddess Essence. Kurokyuu Orbs, miracles of modern technology, harvest the Goddess Essence and provide light and power to all. But there is a problem: the Goddess Essence is running out. And it couldn't have come at a worse time. Whispers abound of a growing evil in the North; stories of shadows that can only be harmed by the light of the sun. From out of the darkness rises the City of the Sun. Light Spires shine through all twenty-four hours, providing artificial sunlight for all. Everyone that is, but the residents of the Utter Darkness. In this forsaken place, Mina, a young orphan, is forced to beg and steal on the streets to sustain herself in the hardscrabble way of life. In the darkest corners, Marauders lurk, hunting little girls, searching for the one known only as "The Maiden". When Mina falls captive to a roving band of Marauders, she is faced with a life-altering decision: reveal the secret she has been hiding her entire life or stay silent and risk losing her already meager existence? When people die as a result of her inaction, Mina realizes her secret is no longer hers to keep. A secret that lies in a most unusual ability: The power to manifest sunlight...

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.

Losing Game by cha1nz

(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?

Sweet Tooth {Among Shepherds and Sheep Series} by CVBlackCV

Have you ever pursued perfection to the edge of madness? Have you ever craved it so deeply, so desperately, that you would descend into darkness and sacrifice everything just to obtain it for a single fleeting moment? In this world, he is the architect of eternity, the master of what is pure and divine. And what is a God to do but answer the prayers of his followers? *Content Warning* It's best to read this story with no context, to let the twists and shadows unfold without warning. The themes within are extremely dark and contain highly graphic violence, explicit sexual content, and grotesque imagery that are not suitable for all readers. This is not a story for those who need trigger warnings. If you do, there is no shame in that, but this story is not for you. Here, you will find no love. No happily ever-after. No redemption. What awaits you is only despair... and damnation. For those who choose the dark path that lays ahead, I hope this story consumes you. May your teeth rot from the indulgence. Read at your own risk. This story is completed.
