mystery

Looney Meek was born in Boston, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials. After her mom is manipulated and r**** by a man in her town, she and her mother face persecution at the hands of those who were supposed to believe her and her mother. They were tried as witches and burnt at the stake; they punished as liars, mentally ill, and ruining the life of a man due to a time where patriarchy and misogyny led to heinous acts. However, Looney Meek forever lives on, becoming the ruler of The Sheep Keep, where she minds spirits that once lived and never questioned society and just blindly followed what they were told. Because of the sheep in her town, she was burnt alive at seventeen, and her story is still told throughout the centuries. Looney essentially becomes a fairy tale and even makes herself known to people when they sin because of patriarchal, political, social, and religious conforms, because she and her mother were victims of these reforms. She welcomes you, dear reader, to her story, her reborn body, and how she and her birds either drag sheep to her keep, or protect people that are at risk of becoming what she minds. Thank you for listening to her story, and welcome to the keep! (Verb tense changes due to her telling her story in the past and present).

In a world where no one backs an eye on any evil, Follow Eiser on his turbulent journey to find his Foster Father as he uncovers the truth of this twisted world.

This is an original Hunter x Hunter fanfiction — not a translation or repost. When sixteen-year-old Kagetsu Yuzuki dies saving a child from a fire, he wakes up in another world — a world of Hunters, Nen, and unending danger. Except this time… he’s not quite himself. White hair. Azure eyes that shimmer with endless depth. The legendary Six Eyes — a gift that defies the very logic of Nen. But Yuzuki isn’t here to dominate or rewrite the story. He’s kind, idealistic, and maybe a little too soft-hearted for the brutal world he’s fallen into. He believes in people. He forgives enemies who don’t deserve it. He still dreams of peace in a place where strength means survival. As he grows, fights, and learns the truth behind his powers, Yuzuki’s beliefs will be tested — because in Hunter x Hunter, kindness can save lives… or destroy them. This isn’t a power-fantasy or harem story. It’s about growth, morality, and what happens when a good heart tries to survive in a merciless world. Romance may come later, but for now, Yuzuki’s focus is on surviving, learning Nen, and finding his place in a story that isn’t his. That said — I’m open to female lead recommendations! I’d love to hear your thoughts on who might suit him best as the story unfolds. Join Yuzuki as he navigates friendship, danger, and the thin line between compassion and weakness — all while trying to make sure his heart stays intact in a world that breaks even the strongest souls.

In 2018, at the height of the digital age, humanity believed it had conquered the world. Data replaced faith. Science promised answers to everything. Governments believed they controlled the future. Then, that which should never have returned answered. The collapse did not come in silence—it was broadcast, debated, and denied until it could no longer be ignored. Institutions crumbled, leaders fell, and the world, fractured by ambition, was divided. From the chaos, the 24 Empires arose, ruled by beings who came to be known as the Celestial Sovereigns.

Decades later, humanity survives amid fragile alliances, hidden conflicts, and thrones built upon the ruins of the old world. Now, as even the gods begin to move beyond their thrones, the true fate of the world is about to be claimed.

###This is a slow pacing novel! #Read the Prologue!!! [CONTENT WARNING: This work is intended for an adult audience (18+).

He was a quiet young man with calloused hands and an unnatural clarity — someone who seemed to understand the truth behind things without ever needing to be taught. She was his wife, a woman whose love for him was deep, fierce, and dangerously absolute. When the two of them finally awaken to Qi, they do not follow the ancient paths or bow to the heavens like others. Instead, they create their own method — a path of Dual Cultivation that binds their bodies and souls together in a way that defies the natural order. What begins as survival and growth soon becomes something far more dangerous. Because the world outside their small village does not tolerate anomalies. As their power grows, so does the attention of ancient sects, powerful clans, and ambitious cultivators who would rather see them dead than let them rise. But what they fail to understand is that the real threat has never been Zhì Yuǎn alone. It has always been the woman standing beside him — the one willing to burn the world if it means protecting what belongs to her. Zhì Yuǎn was never meant to be a hero. He never received a divine mission or a heavenly mandate. He simply chose to walk forward. And Yù Qíng chose to make sure nothing would stand in his way.
