“Where doors may be opened, there are doors that should not open.” Blodeuwedd awakens as a Slumberer within the Tower of Slumber, in its highest chamber known as the 101st Child’s Asylum. Stripped of all memory save for the recollection of his name and a warning never to open doors, he is recognized as a Child who must seek a Parent, for only then may he survive. Otherwise, he remains a lone Orphan. When the Cosmos known to mortals is destroyed, all souls wander and converge upon the Obelisk, deemed as an intervention. In order to endure, they must discover meaning in their existence by navigating the levels called Sequences within the Towers of Slumber and surviving every trial imposed upon them. Only then may they ascend toward the First Sequence, located at the lowest depth of the Towers, where the path to Singularity awaits. As Blodeuwedd uncovers fragments of truth after an inhabitant known as Chances possesses him, his reason for existence begins to unfold, and the cause of his forgotten memories resurfaces piece by piece. Will he reach the First Sequence, or will he become one of the doors that should not open, those whose souls are turned into vessels for the devourers of the Cosmos, entities known as Neverdoors?

Have you ever wondered what happens during death—or what lingers after it? I have. I saw it. I endured it. And it is a story I wish I could forget. Ann Jones lived an ordinary life, indistinguishable from millions of others, until the cruel hand of fate closed around her and shattered everything she knew. What followed was not a single death, but many—each one different, each one more horrific than the last. There are countless ways to die. Accidents, poison, drowning etc. Now imagine one person forced to experience all of them. Ann is trapped in a living hell no human should ever know. Every death strips away another piece of her sanity. Every rebirth drags her back into suffering she cannot escape. With each return, her hope erodes, replaced by a single desperate wish: for life to finally end. To Ann, she wonders what can end her suffering But when she is forced to relive the torment yet again, she begins to question the purpose behind her suffering. Why her? Why this endless cycle? And what unseen force stands at the door between life, death, and rebirth? “No… I don’t want rebirth,” Ann sobbed, clutching her head as her thoughts unraveled. “I just want it to be over. Once and for all. Why me? Why me?” As her sanity fractures, Ann must confront a terrifying truth: Rebirth is not a gift. It is the cruelest form of torture. Rebirth is good when you're able to change what pain you felt before but when rebirth increases the pain what's the point. And if she cannot change what happens at the door of death, she may never truly escape it. Genre: Thriller / MysteryTone: Dark, haunting, yet threaded with fragile hopeCore Themes: Survival, human experimentation, the meaning of death, the cost of rebirth

In a world where the Demon King’s legions pour through dimensional rifts, humanity's only hope is the Aegis Organization. Rank is everything. Power is fixed at birth. You are born a god, or you are born fodder. Kaelen Thorne was fodder. An F-Rank scout with a "Broken Soul Core," he was used as a decoy by a Gold-Rank party during a Night-Class raid. Left to be devoured in the dark, Kaelen’s death wasn't an end—it was a trigger. “You have died. System initialization... 1%... 50%... 100%. Rebirth Sequence: Success.” Waking up with a "Player System" in a world of fixed potential, Kaelen discovers he can do the impossible: He can Level Up. Now, while the world looks down on the "lowest-ranked" hero, Kaelen is hunting in the shadows, devouring the strength of demons, and climbing a ladder that has no top. They left him for dead. Now, he’s their only nightmare.

Inside the red walls of the Forbidden City, the most dangerous predator isn't the Emperor's political rivals—it is the man who guards his bedroom door, a beast in silk robes waiting for the moon to bleed. The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a celebration of celestial harmony in China. Instead, the Forbidden City was bathed in the copper scent of blood. Three high-ranking officials were found shredded within a locked treasury, their bodies bearing wounds that no human blade could inflict. Lin Xiyao, a physician ignored by her peers, is summoned to analyze the remains. Using her Heavenly Forensic extraction technique, she discovers a single, silver-white hair—a clue that leads directly to the Emperor’s most trusted shadow, Lu Yan, the Commander of the Jinyiwei. Lu Yan is a man of cold steel and lethal silence, but beneath his embroidered uniform beats the heart of a feral beast. He is the victim of a hereditary lunar curse, a secret that would lead to his execution if ever revealed. When he realizes the young physician has found his secret, he doesn't kill her. Instead, he traps her in a deadly pact: she must find a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) cure for his transformation before the Blood Moon arrives, or they will both be devoured by the palace's shadows. As the investigation deepens, Xiyao uncovers a conspiracy involving forbidden alchemy and ancient folklore that threatens to topple the Ming Dynasty. In a world of incense and irony, Xiyao must navigate a path where the man she is falling for is the very monster she is hunting. Can a silver needle restrain the hunger of a wolf?

After enduring starvation, terror, and physical agony (including being flayed alive), he reaches the Cathedral of Cosmos – a realm of terrifying, incomprehensible divinity governed by the Indomitable Magistrate.

A tormented man flees through a cosmic void, haunted by fractured reflections of himself and the crushing weight of existence. After enduring starvation, terror, and physical agony (including being flayed alive), he reaches the Cathedral of Cosmos – a realm of terrifying, incomprehensible divinity governed by the Indomitable Magistrate. The Magistrate, a being of chilling indifference and cruel mockery, confronts the man. He resurrects the man’s greatest pain: the memory of his wife and child, incinerated in war. Forced to relive this trauma, the man is then compelled by the Magistrate to ritually flay his resurrected wife using a "Bayesian Blade," transforming her suffering into a perverse sacrament called the "Liturgy of the Flayed." Her final words affirm eternal hatred born of suffering. When the man attacks the Magistrate in rage, his defiance is effortlessly crushed. The Magistrate concludes with a musical performance underscoring the Cathedral’s core truth: all meaning is inverted. Pain is love, cruelty is compassion, and suffering is the only transcendent sacrament in a universe devoid of gods, hope, or redemption. The man’s journey ends not in salvation, but in the absolute acceptance of torment as his only reality.

This isn't your average Sunday sermon. When the sun sets in this America, the real monsters come out— Chainsaw-wielding hillbillies, wax museums that never existed, cursed cabins in the woods, clown cults, dream demons, haunted dolls, and unclassified anomalies prowl the shadows... And right in the middle of it? Gideon Black, who woke up one day as a priest—armed with a divine leveling system. Now, he blesses suburban homes, exorcises demonic squatters, and offers life coaching to emotionally exhausted ghosts. With skills like: [Soul Insight] – spot a demon’s weak point before it spots you. [Psychological Counseling] – because even monsters need therapy. [Holy Water Blessing] – one drop of holy water, entire haunted house purified. [Gospel Hymn] – a church event so powerful even Hellhounds stay home. But Gideon is cautious—too cautious. He doesn’t fight unless the odds are stacked in his favor. He double-checks the salt lines, proofreads his holy verses, and once quarantined a cursed toaster just in case. When the Apocalypse finally arrives? Satan: "This guy solo'd my dungeon and left a Yelp review." Fallen Angel: "Even I pray to him when I get scared." Cthulhu: "@！？xx(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻" God slams the table: “You guys are weak—go train harder.” Unlock exclusive access to advanced chapters: patreon.com/A_divin5

Would you give up your humanity in exchange for power? To never die, a chance to be a god? Humans had lost all will to try. Their existence had been reduced to a single, self-destructive purpose: to entertain and please the cosmic gods, known as Forces, in hopes of gaining a 'favour'. After 7 years of these continuous deadly games that suddenly appeared, the Earth we know is no more. Now an apocalyptic playground for the Forces to enjoy. To survive in this ruined world, every single player is compelled to participate in these weekly deadly games. All to win prizes, be granted one of the four Paths designed for Awakeners— those who earned ‘their’ affection and favour. Until Fateless, a ‘humble’ wanted thief, stumbled upon a unique Force, one of the creators of the games. It was then he discovered the grim truth behind his name - 'Fateless' - deemed worthless and discarded at birth, exempt from all four Paths. Consumed by despair and hate, he took a risk and accepted a proposal from a shady cosmic god, granting him a fifth Path, giving him the ability to absorb human life essence to grow stronger, all for a small price. [ “I shall grant you the Fifth Path.” ] [ “The Path of Insanity.” ] [ “No mortal seeks forever without unraveling. Madness is the toll, the tariff paid at the gate.”] [ “You will no longer fear death. Nor die of age. Nor plague. Nor wounds that mortal hands deliver.” ] [ “But immortality is fed… not gifted.” ] [ “Just a tiny tithe. 10% of your humanity.” ] ‘What more is there to lose a bit of humanity, anyway? It only drags one down from their full potential. I could do just about anything without being bound to death. Anything… What a thrill it would be to spit on these cosmic slugs' faces.’
