> "When silence speaks louder than truth, and shadows hold more power than kings, the line between justice and manipulation begins to blur." In a world where political lies are packaged as news and surveillance hides behind smiles, Reiji Shinomiya, a former intelligence prodigy, is dragged back into the game he once tried to escape. Haunted by a past mission that erased his identity and a country that thrives on secrets, Reiji now walks the thin line between redemption and destruction. Assigned to dismantle a covert organization that has embedded itself deep within the highest levels of government, Reiji must choose: to follow the rules, or to become a shadow among shadows. But the deeper he dives, the more he realizes — truth is not what it seems, and in this war of influence, the greatest weapon… is silence.

One rule: Survive. Everything else is optional. Reika Kagetsu doesn’t want to be a hero. She just wants to feel—pain, fear, adrenaline—anything to remind her she’s still alive. Tenshiko Academy promised her that. What she got instead? Brutal training. No rest. No second chances. And monsters—inside and out. Now she’s fighting the Shikiban: creatures born from blood, madness, and buried secrets. But the deeper she goes, the more she begins to wonder... What if she’s one of them? Power always comes with a price. And Reika is about to pay it in full.

No vasto mundo de Solaris, o poder e a magia caminham lado a lado com a mais completa falta de juízo. O QG dos Corvos Arcanos abriga um grupo de magos e guerreiros formidáveis, mas dentro dessas paredes, a maior ameaça não são os vilões externos, e sim a convivência explosiva entre seus membros. ​Acompanhe a jornada de Naryu, um jovem de espírito indomável (e teimosia maior ainda) que vive em pé de guerra com o mundo — seja sendo jogado pelas janelas pela implacável Maeve, disputando o último biscoito com o gato Myke, ou tentando entender o que sente pela doce e paciente Myzuki. Ao seu lado, Aiden busca seu lugar como herói enquanto tenta conquistar o respeito de seus companheiros e o coração de Seris, em meio a missões de reconhecimento e castigos de pescaria que duram semanas. ​Sob o olhar vigilante de Maeve, que mantém a ordem na base à base de socos e autoridade, e com o suporte de figuras como a analítica Nessa, a provocadora Luneth e o experiente Eldric, o grupo enfrenta o cotidiano com a mesma intensidade de uma batalha mortal. Entre os treinamentos de Kael, as trapalhadas de Kairo, Zaro e Ryen, e as tensões familiares que perseguem o passado de cada um, Corvos Arcanos é mais do que um esquadrão: é uma família disfuncional onde a lealdade é testada a cada refeição roubada.

**Some legends are born in the light. Others awaken when the shadows begin to remember.** In a world shaped by ancient gods, supernatural powers, and forgotten legends, darkness is more than the absence of light. It is a force with a history of its own—one the world may have buried, but never truly escaped. For Jack, survival has always come before destiny. A mysterious boy carrying a past he rarely speaks of, Jack finds himself in a secluded Kitsune village, where ancient traditions, formidable warriors, and the mystical power of Foxfire shape everyday life. Amid unfamiliar customs, relentless training, and the occasional chaos caused by those around him, he begins to discover something he never expected: a place where he might finally belong. Between Yukito's ridiculous antics, Kaito's boisterous personality, and the bonds forged through laughter, rivalry, and hardship, life in the village offers Jack rare moments of warmth in a world he has learned never to trust completely. Yet beneath his quiet demeanor lies a mystery that even those closest to him cannot fully comprehend. And the shadows are beginning to stir. When Jack steps into the trials for the prestigious **Grand Kyobi Eishōran Festival**, he expects to face formidable warriors, test the limits of his abilities, and prove that he belongs among the finest of the Kitsune world. But beneath the glory of an ancient tradition, something far more sinister is awakening. **Creatures born of nightmares—abominations that have no place in the natural order of this world—are emerging from an unfathomable darkness.** Their presence carries whispers of a forgotten age, when divine powers clashed, legendary bloodlines shaped the fate of nations, and ancient forces were sealed away for reasons lost to time. As the shadows grow restless and the boundaries between myth and reality begin to fracture, the proud heritage of the Kitsune faces a threat unlike anything its warriors have ever known. Behind the world's ancient legends lies a truth long forgotten, and beyond the veil of existence, something is watching. Something that remembers an age the world no longer dares to speak of. As Jack is drawn deeper into a mystery far greater than himself, strength alone may not be enough to survive. Trust becomes a dangerous gamble, the past refuses to remain buried, and the secrets he carries threaten to reshape everything he believes about himself. With friendships to protect, enemies to overcome, and darkness gathering around a world built upon forgotten truths, Jack's journey will test more than his power. It will challenge his identity, his resolve, and the bonds that give him a reason to keep moving forward. Because some shadows do not merely follow their prey. **They recognize something the world has forgotten.** And when the forgotten past begins to awaken, even the oldest legends may not be ready for what comes next. **Something that should never have awakened.**

After being saved from a demon by a shadow wielder, young Kimikage vows to protect his village from darkness. To fulfill his promise, he must master the very shadows that threaten his home

Kairo Arden expected peace when he arrived at Aurelia Villa. A beautiful village. Warm meals. Old courtyards. Golden fields. A family that welcomed him like he had always belonged. But Velmora is not as quiet as it looks. Behind the ponds, orchards, sports grounds, festivals, and laughing cousins, the village carries old secrets that refuse to stay buried. The Solen family and the Veylan family share more history than anyone admits, and somewhere beyond the northern forest, an abandoned mansion waits with answers no one wants to face. At the center of it all is Elara Solen — graceful, gentle, impossible to read, and far more dangerous to Kairo’s calm heart than any village rumor. While Kairo tries to understand his new life, Niko turns every peaceful moment into chaos, Mira watches everyone with deadpan judgment, and Velmora slowly reveals that love, laughter, family, and secrets can all grow from the same soil. Koi Kage is a village drama about warmth, comedy, slow-burn emotion, hidden history, and the quiet shadows love leaves behind.

It all started like a regular day. The sun was shining, The flowers were blooming, Kids were playing, Adults were gambling. Nothing new. It was the same day as always…..Until that happened. The weather didn’t just change — it shut off. Like someone flicked the lights of the world. And then the sky cracked open……Beams of pure gold came crashing down as if the gods themselves were firing at us. One by one, each beam found a target. Not random. Not accidental. It was like they were chosen by the attack. People screamed, ran, grabbed their kids, covered their loved ones. Police, firefighters, even government forces mobilized, but none of them could stop it. Not even the “heroes” of the normal world could change fate. And yet… the people struck by the beams did not die. Some felt nothing. Some felt better. Some of them even felt great. The day went on like nothing happened. But everything was already turning. Because those same people — they became hungry. But not hungry for food…the where hungry for power. Their desires rotted, then took over. Productivity shot up. Job rates soared. People were “locked in,” working harder, moving faster, striving for something they couldn’t name. But even that wasn’t enough. These people…They wanted more……They craved more….And then… they gained abilities. As if they were chosen heroes straight out of a comic book — only they weren’t heroes at all. They used their powers to rob, to steal, to manipulate. They rampaged, doing anything and everything to satisfy the hunger inside them. But once again, not even that was enough…Until the sky spoke. A voice rang from above — ancient, powerful, cruel: “People of this reality… You have been chosen as my toys.” “You hunger for more than reality can give you. I can give you what you want. But you must earn it.” “Fight each other. To the end. Become stronger than the myths of your own fantasies. When only one remains, that survivor will control reality itself.” And that was all it took. Chaos ruled. Battles raged for weeks. Lives were tossed aside like trash. Innocent blood soaked the streets. And those who survived… They became known as Reality Sorcerers. The rampage eventually slowed, but never stopped. They were still out there — fighting, destroying, devouring anything that got in their way. People prayed to every god they knew. Will this end? Will peace ever return? Is there anyone… anyone at all… coming to save us? Well… Maybe there is
