Four years after the death of his fiancée, Kalin is still stuck in the past, unable to move on. When he hears a rumor about a gemstone with the power to bring people back to life, he believes he found a solution to all of his problems. He decides to hire a Hunter to help him find the gemstone, but there is one problem-the Hunter in question turns out to be the very man who killed his fiancée. Lance never shied away from a job, no matter how shady or illegal it was. Killing people, making dangerous poisons, working as a Hunter to spy and get dirt on people-he's done it all. So when the leader of the Hunters' Guild asks him to find some magical gemstone, he has no reason to refuse. Until his client tries to kill him, at least. Driven by his desire for revenge, Kalin wants nothing more than to see Lance dead-except to bring Lydia back to life, something he cannot do without Lance's help. But when he teams up with the arrogant Hunter, he realizes there's more to him than meets the eye-and he might get a lot more than what he bargained for. ◇◇◇ STARTED: 6/4/2024 FINISHED: TBA Cover and banners created by the wonderful @-DeeIsDead- ♡

Aerlene Ray awakens at the threshold between life and death, her senses sharpened beyond human limits, her soul marked by invisible wounds. Behind the mirrors, unfamiliar voices keep calling along with a dangerous figure who shadows her every step. As the heavens fall silent and the darkness begins to collect souls still in debt, Aerlene must traverse five forgotten realms, guided by a cursed immortal and a spirit-summoner seeking redemption from the shadows of a haunted past. Their goal: to uncover ancient relics, seen only by those who have died and returned. Fragments of a power capable of shaking the foundations of fate... or erasing it entirely. In a world where no destiny comes without a price... What does free will mean if every road leads to the same end? And who truly holds rule over life and death: God, the Devil... or your own heart?
