obscura

Synopsis of Obscura  In the industrial steam-powered city of Arugula, seventeen-year-old Alarich Zauberwal lives between two worlds: the ordinary life of an academy student and the hidden reality of ancient sorcery, forgotten gods, and cosmic pathways. While studying at the prestigious Aethernos Academy alongside his energetic sister Hilda, Alarich becomes drawn toward mysteries tied to the legendary founder Aethernos and the immortal sorcerer Professor Shirogane. During a lecture on advanced magic, Shirogane senses something abnormal within Alarich: a rare force known as the “Fog of Mystery,” a power tied not merely to magic, but to memory, identity, and reality itself. As strange visions begin haunting him—skeletal eyes in mirrors, riddles from forgotten entities, ancient books that write themselves, and whispers from beings beyond time—Alarich discovers that his family bloodline carries the legacy of Uki, the first sorcerer of the ancient world. Marked by a mysterious mandala tattoo and guided by cryptic prophecies about the coming “Age of Marile,” he is forced into a hidden war involving Yokai, Pathway Users, lost realms, and cosmic beings known as Concepts. Through encounters with ancient entities such as Nahara, Auron, Snowly, and The Tower, Alarich learns that magic is not simply energy—it is thought given form. The deeper he walks the Pathways, the more he realizes his fog abilities may connect him to something older than gods themselves: a primordial being called “The Concept,” the source of all imagination, sorrow, and existence. As reality begins to fracture and forgotten realms awaken beneath the world, Alarich must master the dangerous power of soul control, memory shaping, and conceptual magic before the coming catastrophe consumes humanity. But every revelation pushes him closer to a terrifying truth: The fog is not hiding him from the world. It is preparing the world for him.

"Let the flames lick my skin - burn away this outward shell so my soul may finally be free." __ Cordelia VonElilse reached to touch the circular brand on her shoulder. She shuddered. Her feet felt unsteady beneath her on the dock of the ship. Dangerous thoughts swirled around her as she gazed out over the dark ocean water. A thick fog trailed behind the red vessel as it cut through the water, letting the wind take them further from her home. She stood there and watched as the city by the sea was swallowed up in the cloud. The lights glowing from the buildings barely cut through the silver mist. She felt a steady hand rest on her shoulder. She was so engrossed in her thoughts she hadn't felt the tall man walk up behind her. "We will fix this... I promise." There was confidence in Lyonis Tualon's voice, but she couldn't help but sense the apprehension and worry in his movements. Shame filled her gut. Her very presence was putting people she cared for in grave danger. How could she live with herself? She felt a sudden urge to throw herself off the ship - let the inky black saltwater absorb her as if she were made of foam. The clock was ticking - either they would find her, or her mind would consume itself. __ Updates twice a week! Every Tuesday & Friday! Cover art by me! [email protected]

Imagine a future sculpted by centuries, a place where everything whispers of order, a civilization shimmering with unbelievable technology. In this realm, time seems to forget its cruel work – people don't age. Yet, the mystery of passing still lingers. Their days are just a shadow of their nights, for their dreams are where tasks bloom, and these very tasks are the currency of their lives. But the flawless surface of this world cracks when Meldenma unearths its deep-buried secrets, or perhaps more intriguingly, when she begins to unravel the puzzle of herself. What clandestine truths lie hidden beneath the gleaming perfection? And what happens when one soul starts to awaken to the reality behind their dreamlike existence?

In a world where supernaturals roam freely — werewolves, vampires, witches, celestials, and countless beings unknown to humankind — a great evil was born from their own deceit. It ravaged the realms, bringing death and despair to all who opposed it. Even humans, oblivious to the hidden world, felt its shadow creep into their hearts. Its name alone inspired terror across every race and clan — Obscura, a being of unfathomable darkness. But where there is evil, light rises to meet it. United for the first time, the supernaturals set aside their pride and rallied together. Through sacrifice and unity, they defeated Obscura and sealed it within a gate of pure darkness — a prison meant to last for eternity. Yet eternity never lasts. Now, the seal weakens. Whispers of corruption echo once more, and shadows gather at the edges of the world. The age of peace is ending — and when Obscura returns, the world will need a new guardian to stand against the darkness. Light and darkness are bound by the same fate — only one will shape the world to come.

A man who regained his past lives memories have to figure out what to do with them.

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
