CHOKERS

Los Angeles, 2085. The world’s run by Command—a militarized authority that regulates the powered, the Armed, and promises safety from parasite-taken monsters called Disfigures. When a Breach erupts during a protest, Command blames civilians, triggers mass arrests, and turns “wrong place, wrong time” into life sentences. Seventeen-year-old Jaden Banks wants one thing: stay out the way. He’s a low-grade telekinetic with tired eyes and no interest in being a hero. Command doesn’t care. Swept into the Containment Intake Center, collared, injected, and stripped into white inmate gear, Jaden becomes a Choker—a prisoner deployed on the front lines in Collared Response Squads. Breaches don’t stop. The city doesn’t pause. Inside the system, people break into Certified CRS lapdogs… or become Leashed. Outside, Disfigures grow smarter, waves hit harder, and something behind the outbreaks starts to feel organized. The strongest fighters alive still can’t challenge the Disfigured King alone—because his ability, King’s Turn, adapts to anything that doesn’t erase him in one shot. Jaden learns fast. Too fast. As his power sharpens and his body hardens in custody, his calm stops being restraint and becomes a threat. Between school cadets chasing rank, Command officers enforcing quotas, and inmates fighting to stay human, the story fractures into multiple POVs—each one watching the same machine grind people down. Then Jaden decides the machine deserves to bleed back. And when the Chokers finally revolt, the question isn’t whether Command can stop them. It’s how many districts will burn before anyone can.

Urasaria Academy

Decades of Cold War nuclear testing has led to the evolution of a new species of bacteria, colloquially referred to as Revenants - bacterial colonies only able to grow upon the hearts of 'hosts', granting them supernatural abilities and strength. In the ensuing years of turmoil, the United States creates the institution of Urasaria Academy, composed of young hosts who investigate and kill violent criminal hosts. In 2018, the young lesbian Mia Schultz is knocked unconscious and kidnapped by an unknown assailant. She awakens at Urasaria Academy to discover that she has been given a Revenant named Worldwide - the ability to summon an elemental swarm of fire scarabs. As she begins her new life at Urasaria, she is soon pulled into the mystery of Worldwide's true origins. === Urasaria Academy is a long-running series centered around the lives of the mostly-female, mostly-lesbian superpowered Urasaria students who kill violent criminals. Its primary influences are the serious literary dramas, romances, and horrors that I love, mixed with shonen / seinen influence. To answer other questions you may have: Q) When are chapters posted? A) Monday / Wednesday / Friday. Chapters are generally 2k-3k words each. There will be a 1-month hiatus between arcs to hopefully minimize delays. (NOTE: For now, I am daily-posting to help catch this version of Urasaria up to the versions on SH/RR. Please support on whichever platform you like! Thank you.) Q) When will this be completed? A) The first draft was 600kish words, so finalizing it here involves a timescale of years, not months. I've been writing Urasaria in some form for 8 years, so it will definitely be completed eventually, I just can't pin down when. Q) Are there any content warnings? A) Too many to count, but generally, I don't do things for shock value. Dark topics are covered as normal occurrences in life, not for edginess or to trigger. However, I wouldn't recommend Urasaria if you are upset by fictional gore / body horror. Q) Can I create fanwork based on Urasaria? A) I would be *honored* if somebody made fanwork based on Urasaria. Q) Is there anything else I should know? A) Your visual imagination should be anime-based, not live-action (otherwise cute things will be mistaken as horrifying). Cover by Konorin. No AI used (or ever will be used).

Wednesday and Symbiote Boy Daily Cohabitation Life

Victor Black—a lab rat on the run, a certified lunatic, and the host of a symbiote named Venom who shares his aggressive addiction to chocolate. On his way to Nevermore Academy, he somehow managed to hitch a ride with the Addams family. On his very first day, fueled by sheer, unadulterated audacity, Victor successfully scammed his way into the girls' dormitory. Thus began his chaotic domestic life with the queen of woe, Wednesday, and the sunniest werewolf alive, Enid. Sure, he lost the turf war against the two girls and ended up with a sleeping bag on the floor right outside the bathroom... but Victor isn’t complaining. He’s living in the girls' dorm, for crying out loud. He’d sleep inside the toilet bowl if it meant keeping the address. This is the story of a chaotic boy raised by his vampire sister, who—oops—accidentally raised him using a dusty copy of The Gentleman’s Guide to Becoming an Incubus instead of a normal parenting book. Now, he’s at Nevermore to raise hell, shake up the world, and—cough—maybe find a little romance along the way. Victor insists he’s a model student who never causes trouble. Never mind that he runs a black-market weapons ring on campus, turned the annual Poe Cup canoe race into a full-scale reenactment of the D-Day landings, likes to flip off Gorgons' beanies just to see the snakes, or asks werewolf professors exactly what it feels like to streak in public... Aside from that? Total angel. Featured Universes: Wednesday, Hotel Transylvania

Junji Ito: I Shall Smash Hellstar Remina

Dying and being reincarnated into the body of young Amamiya Rin in Japan felt like the perfect start to a new life. When the four beautiful girls who put me in a coma visited my hospital room to apologize, I even thought I had stumbled into the beginning of a rom-com. I couldn't have been more wrong. This reality follows the twisted worldview of Japanese horror. The patient in the bed next to me just "gave birth" to Tomie. My grand "reincarnation power" is actually the plot of The Long Dream—a curse that forces me to live through eons of brutal stress every time I fall asleep. In three months, tops, I will be reduced to ashes. To make matters worse, when I refused to give a "little discount" on the 30-million-yen accident settlement, the fake politeness of my debtors vanished. They stopped blinking, smiled in macabre synchronization, and revealed needle-filled tentacles lurking in their throats. Outside, a biological apocalypse is about to erupt: fish with legs are lurking about, Hanging Balloons are watching us, and Hellstar Remina is staring down at us, salivating. Compared to the approaching extinction-level disasters, entities like Kayako, Mimiko, and Sadako are nothing but small fry. Bedridden in a hospital while demanding debt from abominations disguised as girls... how do I beat this game without a cheat? Simple. A dream world a thousand or ten thousand times longer than an ordinary person's is still a kind of cheat. Is the flesh weak and ascension mechanical? Or is it mind over matter on the path to transcendental sainthood? Kids make choices; adults take it all! A physical body at its peak, perfect martial arts, and the ultimate light amidst the darkness. Starting by usurping the power of the "Group," I will link the brains of these freaks to create the Tomie Network. I, Amamiya Rin, will grow stronger through infinite nightmares. And, in the end, I will bring down Planet Remina with a single punch! ____ (P) Walnutchan
