UNDER HIS SHADOW

NYXBLACK
After a failed career move and a desperate need for a fresh start, Lena Carter moves into Oakwood Apartments—an old, quiet building on the edge of the city. The rent is cheap, the neighbors keep to themselves, and everything seems normal. Until she meets Damien Hale, the enigmatic tenant in the apartment above hers. Damien is strange, intense, and knows far too much about Oakwood’s secrets. Secrets like Apartment 3B, which has been empty for months—despite Lena hearing noises from inside. Secrets like the mysterious disappearance of Ryan Thomas, the last person to live there. Then one night, Damien gives her a key. To Apartment 3B. Inside, Lena finds more than just dust and forgotten walls. She finds footsteps that don’t belong to her. A chair that vanishes when she looks away. And whispers in the dark that seem to know her name. Now, trapped between paranoia and reality, Lena realizes she’s caught in something far more dangerous than she ever imagined. And Damien? He isn’t just a neighbor. He’s the only one who can help her survive. But only if she follows the rules. And rule number three is the one she’s already broken: If you ever find a door open when you know you closed it—don’t go inside. PS: it's parentally suggested cause it is really psychologically dark so read at your own mental risk muaaah :)

World martial art

Legends are not born. They are forged — through pain, defeat, and unbreakable will. Leo, a boy from a small village in Nepal, always believed he was ordinary. But everything changed the day a forgotten evil awakened in the mountains — the Dragon Spirit, once sealed away by Leo’s own father. Kaito Jin, a rogue wielder of beast power, breaks the seal and unleashes chaos. Leo tries to fight, but he is powerless. His father sacrifices himself to protect him. That day, Leo loses everything. But he gains one thing — a reason to rise. Carrying the scar over his left eyebrow, the memory of his father, and two unimaginable spirits inside him — the Lion King (Guardian of the Gods) and the Phoenix (God of Fire), a power connected to his mother’s soul — Leo begins a journey across nations. In China, ancient masters push him beyond his limits. In Korea, he learns discipline, philosophy, and inner balance. In Japan, he encounters powerful rivals and a girl who slowly changes his life. In India, Indonesia, and other countries, he faces challengers, builds friendships, and discovers new forms of martial arts. From international tournaments to mysterious beast realms, Leo must face fear, rivalry, loss, and the uncontrollable powers within him. Because one day, he must confront Kaito again. Not as a weak boy… but as the strongest martial artist the world has ever known. This is World Martial Art — a journey of strength, growth, destiny, and the flame that refuses to fade.
