Kafka: Angel of Lust – Lady of the Mysteries?

Bakergrim
Kirisima Himitsu was dead. Not from illness. Not by a killer's hand. She was unmade by the Absolute Law — the merciless eye of a mechanical god. Her existence was erased like a name drawn on fogged glass. But her consciousness... did not vanish. It was torn free and cast into an abyss — a place where time held its breath and reality pulsed to an alien will. Her eyes opened in a rotting Victorian chamber, where the walls wept dark ichor and the fire in the hearth writhed like something alive. The air was thick with the scent of dampness, mold, and something sweet — almost suffocating. At the room’s center stood a coffee table, and upon it: a single yellowed page, an ink bottle filled with bloodlike fluid, and a cracked, blackened quill — waiting for her hand. On the table sat a doll — broken, twisted. Its glass eyes were empty, but from that void came a voice: “Write.” Each movement of her hand echoed with whispers in the corners of the room, as though the world itself held its breath to witness her choice. And with that choice, Himitsu ceased to be. In her place was born Kafka — the Angel of Lust. Cursed by a blessing, forged from sin and desire. But her story was far from over. Not here. Not yet. When the crimson moon rises over a world swallowed by secrets, and shadows begin to speak in tongues long forgotten by mortals, she shall become Lady of the Mysteries — she who whispers in the dark, she whose name must never be spoken in vain. “If I lose — I will vanish. If I vanish — so too will this world.” — Kafka to Amanis. (Chapter Unknown) But what price must she pay for such a gift? And who — or what — truly sent her into this terrifying new world?

The Black Cloud Sword: The Rise of Do-Hyun

“Kangho refers to the world of martial artists, akin to the ‘jianghu’ in Chinese wuxia literature.” “The Martial World doesn’t belong to the strong—it belongs to those who endure until the end.” Lee Do-Hyun, an ordinary office worker. Trapped in a monotonous routine, he stumbles upon a mysterious book that changes his life forever. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a new world—the Martial World (Kangho)—reborn as the weakest of the weak. With no power to rely on, Do-Hyun is saved by Chun-Hyang at the Pungwolru, a house of pleasure that’s much more than it seems. There, he learns the ways of survival from women who have mastered the art of turning weakness into strength. Quick footwork, exploiting openings, and the psychology of battle—skills not meant for the strong, but for those determined to survive. Then, fate intervenes. Do-Hyun discovers a legendary blade—the Ego’s Sword—a weapon that chooses its own master. The blade whispers, “I will test your will.” With this cursed gift, Do-Hyun rises from obscurity, becoming a beacon of hope for the oppressed. His name spreads through the Martial World, and the once-mocked women of Pungwolru stand proud alongside him. But the Martial World doesn’t change so easily. • Rising prodigies who believe in the supremacy of raw strength • A corrupt leadership within the so-called “just” Beggar’s Sect • And secret powers scheming to revive the legacy of fallen gods… At the heart of these battles, Do-Hyun makes his stand: “I’ll shatter the rules of Kangho. I’ll show them the true meaning of strength.” Will he become the master of the sword—or will the sword master him? The story of a man who became the hope of the weak begins now. #MartialArts #Isekai #Swordmaster #UnderdogRising #ReformingTheMartialWorld
