Shin never believed he deserved a happy ending. Shunned by his village and haunted by spirits only he could see, he spent his life surviving one lonely day at a time. The only light in his darkness was a girl named Tsukiakari, until fate stole her away.

As the shadows grow and the line between human and monster begins to fade, Shin must choose whether to keep running from the past... or become the one person willing to stand against a destiny written in despair.

The Cycle’s Last Fracture

In a world trapped within an endless cycle of repeating timelines, Aqua, Rory, and Rose discover the ruins of an ancient temple connected to two legendary swords and powerful Emeralds capable of altering fate itself. As strange memories begin to surface and hidden forces move behind the scenes, the three friends realize that history is repeating—but not exactly as before. Aqua is haunted by the loss of her sister, Mori, whose death continues to shape every decision she makes. Driven by guilt and a desperate desire to prevent another tragedy, she searches for answers hidden within the cycle. Her path eventually leads her to the forbidden Superior Emerald, an artifact with the power to change destiny at a terrible cost. While Aqua struggles against her grief, Rory begins uncovering secrets buried within ancient legends, and Rose wrestles with her habit of protecting others by hiding the truth. As trust fractures and dangerous enemies emerge from the shadows, the bonds between the three friends are pushed to their limits. Believing she must carry the burden alone, Aqua makes a devastating choice that changes everything. The consequences force Rory and Rose into a desperate struggle to save both Aqua and the future itself. In the final battle, ancient mysteries are revealed, long-hidden truths come to light, and the cost of breaking the cycle becomes painfully clear. By the end of the journey, the cycle has been shattered, lives have been changed forever, and a new threat has begun to awaken. What started as a search for answers becomes the opening chapter of a much larger conflict—one that will determine the fate of every timeline and everyone trapped within them.

Reilfear

He had never believed in fantasy. All tales of heroism and righteousness, destiny, they always felt like lies. Where force rules all, law is but the mirage. After being abused, isolated, and plagued by misfortunes in his youth, he knew only one truth: the powerful always got whatever they wanted. Then one calm New Year's day, reality began to fall apart. Individuals vanish. Cities collapse. The sky shatters like a pane of glass. And an inexplicable, luminescent blue phrase lights up: "This world has been written." The entire world began to be systematically erased, but as for him, he was unaffected, like an overlooked error the world failed to delete. Standing amidst this collapsing reality, he confronts the horrifying question: "What if the world has never truly existed? And, was I not meant to be in it in the first place?"

Esmeria

In a distant realm, a god-king revered by his followers rules with unyielding force, crushing nations that dare oppose him. Yet his ambitions stretch far beyond mortal subjugation—he hunts down other gods, erasing them from existence in his quest to become the sole divine power. As his dominion expands, gods disappear, kingdoms are threatened, and the world continues to change. Across this vast realm, adventurers, warriors, and gods pursue their own ambitions, unaware of how far the god-king's influence will eventually reach. Can even a god, crowned by worship and forged in tyranny, hold on to such power indefinitely? Or will someone rise against him, bringing about a downfall as inevitable as it is unforeseen? In a world where gods can die, only one can remain—but for how long? Cover art by Little-Moon on Scribblehub.
