Descendants of Gibbous

Damien reveals an ugly truth. His sister and only family, Ahara, leaves the house every midnight whilst he's asleep—a time that he soon discovers is when man-eating beasts named Rouges start hunting for prey. Unable to question her directly, he decides to investigate her and quickly figures that Ahara isn't human but rather, a vampire hero who saves them from beings like herself coming from a world she calls Gibbous—a place where entities like vampires, wizards, and beast shifters alike reside. What’s more, he also learns that the real reason behind his parents' death was the leader of the Rogues, who's rumored to have escaped after Damien’s father almost killed him. A series of fateful events lead to Damien’s long-lost power reawakening in him, and he finds himself with no choice but to return to Gibbous, a strange world where power means survival, and weakness leads to death. As such, Damien enrolls in an academy to train his newfound abilities with one thing in mind... Becoming more powerful. However, he soon discovers that the path to power is one filled with troubles and pain, and he isn’t alone in this lust for more at the academy. It’s a bloody competition against time and formidable opponents, and only those willing to sacrifice their comfort are the ones who can attain it. With a deadly foe lurking in the shadows somewhere and a strong desire to protect his sister, Damein has no choice but to fight. The only way is up, and he is going to be standing at the top of them all, ready to counter any enemy. **************** The hero tier list/ ranking system is the good old S-rank to E-rank tiers, but I added a few more ranks up there for originality—X-rank and the Numen position. I hope you guys find my ideas refreshing. Link up with me on Patreon: @Timcarvie

The Nonconformity: I Am an Anomaly

Web novel illustration: https://ko-fi.com/zalario This is the story of a twenty-year-old man named Hastora. He fell from a ten-story building, suffering fatal injuries that left him in critical condition. While confined to his hospital bed, regret and haunting memories consumed him—especially the burning image of failing to save his parents from a massive fire. He became an orphan at the age of fifteen and had no choice but to become a novelist to survive. Over time, he wrote five novels, but only one gained any recognition: Echoes of an Unwritten Fate. It was a story he created as a form of escapism—a world under constant siege by monsters, demons, and otherworldly beings. Interestingly, the novel had no protagonist. Hastora had made that choice deliberately. One night, as he lay in bed, a sharp, unbearable pain pierced his heart. The doctors did everything they could to save him, but it was all in vain. Hastora died. But death was not the end. He awakened inside the world of his own novel—Echoes of an Unwritten Fate. To survive in that merciless world, he had to grow stronger. Much stronger. He had written it himself: in this world, the weak were worthless and easily manipulated. The strong, on the other hand, could protect themselves—and control those beneath them. Strength was everything. But as his journey began, Hastora quickly realized something was wrong. The story… had changed. The world was harsher. The dangers were greater. The rules had shifted. He was no longer the author of this fate, but a pawn within it. Now, he must play smarter, act colder, and fight harder—because in this world, you either manipulate… or be manipulated. What kind of enemies await him? Follow his journey and find out for yourself. Thank you for reading!
