Abandoning All Hope
Everyone has skeletons in their closet. The next-door neighbor’s son catches and kills frogs, the village drunk once kicked a dog, for which he was heavily fined, Mrs. Borroh, cheated on her husband with a merchant once while her husband was toiling at the lumbermill, and the Woodbrooks boys like to throw rocks at the neighbor's cat. Anna Truemare’s father, on the other hand, has a much darker secret, one that she never could have seen coming. Mr. Truemare knows how to kill night creatures. When the mayor's daughter goes missing after venturing off to meet the mysterious beast hold up in its castle to the north, Anna’s father, trained by one of the last surviving members of House Belmont, resolves to venture out to retrieve the poor girl. However in her graying fathers hollowing eyes, Anna knows that this is a journey he will not return from. In a bid to save her father from his gruesome fate, 19-year-old Anna strikes out to save her father’s life by offering up her own in return. Never having left the village and armed with nothing but a knife, a map, and her determination, will Anna survive the grueling week-long journey through the untamed countryside to rescue the mayor’s young daughter? Or will she perish like so many others before her at the hands the mysterious and bloody monster in it’s indomitable castle in this mature fan-rewrite on the season 3 ending of Netflix’s Castlevania?
8 85The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.
8 54Tann Angle's Formula
She was the creator of 'the world', she had the ability to bend the principles of sciences, she had the ability to change everything. However, this ability was taken away. She was left in a world of danger, haunted by the Hetzers. She had to face reality, to blend into the society created by her own hands, and to make relationships that she used to consider as 'unreal'.
