mystery

The city’s underbelly thrummed with untold crimes—hidden in alleys, behind gilded facades, swallowed by indifference. Those in the glare of the headlines found justice; the rest vanished into darkness… until tonight. Under a ghostly moon, nine silent figures gathered in an abandoned warehouse. At their head stood the masked woman—by day a nondescript student, by night the pulse of vengeance. Her mismatched eyes shone through colored contacts, calculating every move. “They ignore what they cannot see,” she whispered, voice cutting through the hush. “We step from the shadows and claim the truth.” With that, the hunt began.

When Mikel opened his new eye, the dead opened their doors. Mikel was just an ordinary, troubled teen until an accident stole his sight. When an experimental surgery gives him a strange new eye, he begins to see more than just the world of the living... and the dead. Haunting visions, ghostly figures, cursed relics, and a mysterious blue interface named Doom — speaking in glowing symbols and shifting data — start to rewrite everything he thought he knew about reality. And as the truth comes into focus, Mikel realized he might be a part of something bigger and far more dangerous than he could’ve imagined. Standing between these worlds, survival isn’t guaranteed. Sanity, even less so. [Welcome to Shaman Protocol. Terms and Conditions (and sanity) not guaranteed.]

My name is Ethan Hu. Born in Queens, New York, I spent my formative years on the bustling streets of Brooklyn, immersed in the strange and captivating conversations with my father. Our family was once the last surviving descendants of Huaxia's "Through the Mountains" lineage. The only remnants of our family heritage are my grandfather's compass, my father's bronze fish talisman, and the tattered "Fragment of the Shaking Dragon Sutra", which have been passed down through generations as our most precious "family heirlooms". During my childhood, my father would often light a stick of sandalwood incense in the dead of night. With a hoarse voice, he would recount the long - forgotten past, spinning tales of wriggling bones hidden within the hanging coffins of Western Hunan, and a mysterious bronze box beneath the ancient Yellow River Road that would emit a woman's mournful whimper on full moon nights... "The real secrets lie buried deep under the loess of Huaxia," my father would say, his eyes filled with a profound melancholy I couldn't fathom at the time. "And someone has to pay the debts our lineage owes." Now that I'm all grown up, I feel a strong urge to document the stories of my father and grandfather. I want my family to experience these various strange and wonderful tales, and pass them down through the generations, so that everyone can appreciate the rich mystery and allure of Huaxia.

Year: 2035. Ten years ago, the skies cracked. Not with thunder, nor warplanes— but with rifts. These weren’t just visual anomalies. They were gateways—interdimensional portals that Earth’s scientists quickly termed “Dungeons.” Dungeons or portals as the world now called them, appeared across the Earth without warning. Each one was a fracture between dimensions—some leading to mythological realms long forgotten, others to alien landscapes so hostile they devoured entire scouting teams. At first, the world panicked, assuming them to be nuclear tests, alien invasions, or natural disasters. But these dungeons didn’t behave like anything known to physics. Satellite footage showed each portal surrounded by a zone of atmospheric distortion. Inside them? Entire landscapes alien to our Earth—some mythological, others monstrous and unknowable. Some dungeons contained creatures straight out of ancient scripture—Nāgas from Vedic texts, harpies from Greco-Roman mythology, or obscure gods who had long since been forgotten by mankind. Other rifts revealed biomes more suited to nightmares: acidic jungles, ice worlds that bent gravity, or structures pulsing with intelligence. In the first month alone, five major cities fell. Beijing, Lagos, São Paulo, Istanbul, and Philadelphia—gone, overrun by creatures we didn’t understand, coming through dungeons we couldn’t close. Then came the second anomaly. A global surge in human neural activity. Scientists identified it as a quantum shift in consciousness. Spiritual leaders called it divine selection. Journalists labeled it “The Great Filter.” But the name that stuck was: Awakening. Roughly 20% of humanity developed access to an invisible “System”—a personal interface only they could see. It gave them abilities, status screens, and skills that turned ordinary people into weapons. The rest of the world? Still human. Still fragile. Still dying. Roughly 20% of the global population began to exhibit System access—an invisible interface only visible to the user. This System showed stats, combat abilities, class upgrades, and most importantly, potential. It wasn’t random. Those who Awakened were typically 18 or older, and many had undergone moments of extreme stress, trauma, or proximity to a dungeon. Some said the System chose warriors. Others claimed it selected reincarnated souls or bloodlines tied to forgotten mythologies. Now, the world lives in a tense balance. Hunters ranked from F to SSS defend the Earth from dungeon incursions. And deep within this chaos… In some cities, Awakened rule like kings. In others, governments remain intact, barely holding together. Technology also evolved: Mana-reactive alloys replaced steel. Smart-glass visors sync with System interfaces. Dungeon-gathered artifacts are now global trade commodities. And deep in the shadows… Some dungeons don’t close and breaks happen. Some awakeners don’t follow the rules. And some individuals… aren’t just chosen. They’re remembered. And in the midst of this fragile new era— a man named Arvan will learn that the voice in his head… is not madness. It is a memory. A throne. A war. And a name: Rāvaṇa. A storm begins to stir.

I'm also bad at English, after all, it's my 3rd language but if you don't mind, it's worth reading)
