Wednesday and Symbiote Boy Daily Cohabitation Life

Victor Black—a lab rat on the run, a certified lunatic, and the host of a symbiote named Venom who shares his aggressive addiction to chocolate. On his way to Nevermore Academy, he somehow managed to hitch a ride with the Addams family. On his very first day, fueled by sheer, unadulterated audacity, Victor successfully scammed his way into the girls' dormitory. Thus began his chaotic domestic life with the queen of woe, Wednesday, and the sunniest werewolf alive, Enid. Sure, he lost the turf war against the two girls and ended up with a sleeping bag on the floor right outside the bathroom... but Victor isn’t complaining. He’s living in the girls' dorm, for crying out loud. He’d sleep inside the toilet bowl if it meant keeping the address. This is the story of a chaotic boy raised by his vampire sister, who—oops—accidentally raised him using a dusty copy of The Gentleman’s Guide to Becoming an Incubus instead of a normal parenting book. Now, he’s at Nevermore to raise hell, shake up the world, and—cough—maybe find a little romance along the way. Victor insists he’s a model student who never causes trouble. Never mind that he runs a black-market weapons ring on campus, turned the annual Poe Cup canoe race into a full-scale reenactment of the D-Day landings, likes to flip off Gorgons' beanies just to see the snakes, or asks werewolf professors exactly what it feels like to streak in public... Aside from that? Total angel. Featured Universes: Wednesday, Hotel Transylvania

Illusion Forms The Saga of Hidden Identity

ILLUSION FORMS — THE SAGA OF HIDDEN IDENTITY "Can a single thought become a death sentence? Can a spoken word reshape reality?" Legend speaks of an ancient era where power was so absolute that even a faint thought of betrayal or harm towards the Supreme beings resulted in instant death, regardless of distance. Their every word was an immutable law, and their 'Vows' were unbreakable chains of destiny. It is said that these terrifying powers were eventually bound within primordial Seals, for no mortal vessel could ever contain such a devastating cosmic weight without shattering. But where those powers went remains the world's greatest mystery. In a modern era dominated by vampires and shadows, three strangers find themselves entangled in a fate they cannot comprehend: The Silent Mask: A child who survives behind a fragile veil of innocence. Trusting no one and relying only on himself, he is a master of manipulation, subtly controlling the minds and circumstances of those around him for his own protection. He is the quiet storm that no one sees coming. The Invisible Pull: A youth with defiant eyes and unwavering confidence. He is haunted by an unexplainable magnetic pull toward people he has never met, as if his very soul is searching for its missing fragments. The Stern Shell: A ruthless protector who has turned his heart into stone to shield his own. Wary of outsiders and fiercely loyal, he guards his secrets with a cold, lethal precision. As the ancient Seals begin to crack, a terrifying question arises: Are these three merely victims of fate, or are they the very catastrophe the world tried to lock away? "A true ruler does not need a blade to conquer. He only needs to speak—and the world shall kneel."

Dante’s Nephew in the Horrorverse

Across the lands of North America, urban legends run rampant. Malevolent Alessa torments the living, Freddy harvests souls in dreams, Jason swings his machete by the lakeside, demons wear the skin of nuns, and Annabelle toys with human hearts through curses… Here, survival is the only luxury ordinary people can hope for. But Sephirot, nephew of Dante, the legendary demon hunter, never considered these so-called urban legends to be a threat. “This shot is called Silver Baptism.” Holy silver bullets blew apart the demon nun’s head. “This strike is called Dimensional Slash.” A flash of blade-light passed, and Freddy’s dreamscape was torn apart by force. Sephirot stepped on Jason’s head, arrogantly chambering another round. “That’s it?” … Until that day, when the forbidden seal of the cabin in the woods was opened. An ancient god broke free from its cocoon, and a shadow vast enough to blot out the sky enveloped the entire city. Sephirot’s bullets could only leave a faint white mark. Even the Dimensional Slash, said to sever all things, merely scraped off a layer of the creature’s skin. Faced with such despair, everyone thought Sephirot was doomed. But then they saw him sigh, pull a communicator from his coat, and say: “Uncle, if you don’t show up soon, I’m telling Lady you secretly used her card again.” At that moment, the sky was forcibly torn open by a crimson greatsword. A white-haired man dressed in red stepped through the void, looking visibly annoyed. “Tch. You’re getting less and less cute, threatening your elder over some little demon.” ------------------------- Note 1: This is a crossover fanfiction that includes elements from anime, movies, TV series, and video games. It takes inspiration from many different works, including but not limited to Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, Wrong Turn, Resident Evil, Hostel, Constantine, The Nun, and Orphan, among others. Note 2: I know crossover fanfiction can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it mixes so many different settings and lores together. To make things easier, I’ll be adding a small section at the end of many chapters to explain certain lore details, references, or story elements for readers who may not be familiar with every series involved.

The Perfect Path To Insanity

Would you give up your humanity in exchange for power? To never die, a chance to be a god? Humans had lost all will to try. Their existence had been reduced to a single, self-destructive purpose: to entertain and please the cosmic gods, known as Forces, in hopes of gaining a 'favour'. After 7 years of these continuous deadly games that suddenly appeared, the Earth we know is no more. Now an apocalyptic playground for the Forces to enjoy. To survive in this ruined world, every single player is compelled to participate in these weekly deadly games. All to win prizes, be granted one of the four Paths designed for Awakeners— those who earned ‘their’ affection and favour. Until Fateless, a ‘humble’ wanted thief, stumbled upon a unique Force, one of the creators of the games. It was then he discovered the grim truth behind his name - 'Fateless' - deemed worthless and discarded at birth, exempt from all four Paths. Consumed by despair and hate, he took a risk and accepted a proposal from a shady cosmic god, granting him a fifth Path, giving him the ability to absorb human life essence to grow stronger, all for a small price. [ “I shall grant you the Fifth Path.” ] [ “The Path of Insanity.” ] [ “No mortal seeks forever without unraveling. Madness is the toll, the tariff paid at the gate.”] [ “You will no longer fear death. Nor die of age. Nor plague. Nor wounds that mortal hands deliver.” ] [ “But immortality is fed… not gifted.” ] [ “Just a tiny tithe. 10% of your humanity.” ] ‘What more is there to lose a bit of humanity, anyway? It only drags one down from their full potential. I could do just about anything without being bound to death. Anything… What a thrill it would be to spit on these cosmic slugs' faces.’ .... 300 Power stones: 2 bonus chapters 20 Golden Tickets: 3 bonus chapters 50 Golden Tickets: 5 bonus chapters

Junji Ito: I Shall Smash Hellstar Remina

Dying and being reincarnated into the body of young Amamiya Rin in Japan felt like the perfect start to a new life. When the four beautiful girls who put me in a coma visited my hospital room to apologize, I even thought I had stumbled into the beginning of a rom-com. I couldn't have been more wrong. This reality follows the twisted worldview of Japanese horror. The patient in the bed next to me just "gave birth" to Tomie. My grand "reincarnation power" is actually the plot of The Long Dream—a curse that forces me to live through eons of brutal stress every time I fall asleep. In three months, tops, I will be reduced to ashes. To make matters worse, when I refused to give a "little discount" on the 30-million-yen accident settlement, the fake politeness of my debtors vanished. They stopped blinking, smiled in macabre synchronization, and revealed needle-filled tentacles lurking in their throats. Outside, a biological apocalypse is about to erupt: fish with legs are lurking about, Hanging Balloons are watching us, and Hellstar Remina is staring down at us, salivating. Compared to the approaching extinction-level disasters, entities like Kayako, Mimiko, and Sadako are nothing but small fry. Bedridden in a hospital while demanding debt from abominations disguised as girls... how do I beat this game without a cheat? Simple. A dream world a thousand or ten thousand times longer than an ordinary person's is still a kind of cheat. Is the flesh weak and ascension mechanical? Or is it mind over matter on the path to transcendental sainthood? Kids make choices; adults take it all! A physical body at its peak, perfect martial arts, and the ultimate light amidst the darkness. Starting by usurping the power of the "Group," I will link the brains of these freaks to create the Tomie Network. I, Amamiya Rin, will grow stronger through infinite nightmares. And, in the end, I will bring down Planet Remina with a single punch! ____ (P) Walnutchan

Scholar's Mate

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.
