Sanguis de Tenebris (Blood from Darkness)

SKADU
Lucien Devaria was just another abandoned child, destined to be forgotten by the world. At the age of 14, he was betrayed by the very people who promised him a **new life** — sacrificed in an ancient **Hero Summoning Ritual**, left broken and crippled in a cursed wasteland. The ritual was meant to call forth a hero to save the world, but instead, it malfunctioned, awakening something far darker. Alone and abandoned, Lucien discovers that the ritual granted him **forbidden power** — a power born from suffering, betrayal, and loss. With each painful step he takes, Lucien’s soul is branded by the **Soulbrands**: ancient marks that give him unimaginable abilities, but at the cost of his humanity, his memories, and his very soul. Now, pretending to be weak and powerless, Lucien plans his revenge against those who betrayed him. But as the **Soulbrands** corrupt him further, he begins to question whether he will **save the world** or **destroy it**. Torn between his thirst for vengeance and the lingering traces of his lost humanity, Lucien must navigate a world on the brink of chaos, filled with monsters, corrupt kings, and gods who care little for the lives of mortals. In a world where trust is a **luxury** and the **light of hope** is fading, Lucien will have to decide whether he will rebuild what’s been broken — or become the **darkness** that consumes everything

The Walking Dead:Ashes Of Survival

It started with my brother — the first of us to fall. Without warning, an unknown virus crept into our lives. My elder brother was bitten — none of us even noticed at first. That night, while our family kept vigil at the hospital, over a hundred patients died suddenly. What’s more terrifying was what came after death: they stood up again. Not as the people we loved, but as bloodthirsty, mindless creatures. We were no longer their family. We were their food. Two months have passed since we hid ourselves in the ruined back kitchen of the hospital's canteen. Outside, the world we knew has been overturned, swallowed whole by the dead who rose. The same nightmare is happening across the world — no land is spared. There is no more system. No more police. No more government. Only the endless groans of the dead, and the desperate cries of the living. I am He Mo, just an ordinary junior school girl once, but those days are nothing more than fading dreams. Now, I carry the weight of survival — protecting my fragile younger brother, my sickly mother, and my aging grandmother. I have no superpowers, no miracle cures. Only grit, determination, and a stubborn will to live. More and more survivors joined us — not the strong warriors of old legends, not the powerful shinobi or mighty pirates who once roamed the seas. We are the forgotten, the weak, the unseen. And yet, united by desperation, we fight on, clinging to life in a dead world. Our purpose is simple — achingly simple: To live. Just to live. In this world now, human immunity is a myth. Chakra can't save you. Haki can't protect you. Bloodlines and ancient powers mean nothing when one bite can end everything. The rules are brutal: Never get bitten. Never let your guard down. Never lose hope. You, me, all of us... At this last, crumbling moment of humanity, there are no nations. No borders. No heroes. Only the forsaken, struggling to survive the endless night. GENRES: Adventurers, Apocalypse, Betrayal, Cannibalism, Female Protagonist, Near-Death Experience, Survival, Zombies
