In the small town of Willow Creek, there was a young girl named Lily who had always been curious about the world around her. She spent hours exploring the woods near her house, collecting rocks and leaves, trying to understand the mysteries of nature. Her parents joked that she had the spirit of a scientist, always asking questions and seeking answers. One day, Lily received a letter in the mail that changed her life forever. It was an acceptance letter to a mysterious school called Blackthorn Academy, a prestigious institution known for its dark secrets and mysterious past. Lily's parents were shocked and unsure about sending her to such a place, but Lily was determined to investigate and uncover the truth behind the rumors. As she arrived at Blackthorn Academy, Lily could sense that there was something strange about the school. The buildings were shrouded in shadows, and the students whispered in hushed tones as she passed by. But Lily was not afraid; she was intrigued. She knew that she had to uncover the secrets of this mysterious place. Lily quickly learned that Blackthorn Academy was not like any other school she had ever attended. The classes were filled with ancient texts and strange symbols, the teachers spoke in riddles, and the students seemed to have their own hidden agendas. Despite the eerie atmosphere, Lily was drawn to the challenge of unraveling the mysteries that surrounded her. As she delved deeper into the secrets of Blackthorn Academy, Lily discovered that there was a dark force at work within the school. Shadows lurked in the corners, whispers echoed through the halls, and strange occurrences plagued the students and staff. Lily knew that she was in danger, but she was determined to uncover the truth no matter the cost. With each passing day, Lily's curiosity grew stronger, driving her to investigate every corner of Blackthorn Academy. She uncovered hidden passages, deciphered cryptic messages, and pieced together the puzzle of the school's dark history. Along the way, she made unlikely allies and faced terrifying challenges that tested her strength and courage. Despite the dangers that lurked around every corner, Lily remained determined to uncover the truth behind Blackthorn Academy. As she delved deeper into the mysteries that surrounded her, she discovered a shocking revelation that would change her life forever. The school was not just a place of learning; it was a gateway to another world, a realm of darkness and forgotten magic. In a final confrontation with the dark force that had been manipulating the school, Lily showed her true strength and courage. With the help of her newfound friends and allies, she confronted the shadowy figure that had been pulling the strings behind the scenes. In a dazzling display of magic and bravery, Lily banished the darkness from Blackthorn Academy and restored peace to the school. As she stood in the aftermath of the final battle, Lily knew that her time at Blackthorn Academy had changed her forever. She had faced her fears, challenged her limits, and uncovered the truth behind the mysteries that had haunted her. With a sense of pride and accomplishment, she left the school behind, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And so, the young girl who had been just curious about everything had become a strong and independent woman, unafraid to confront the darkness and mystery that dwelled in the world around her. Lily's journey at Blackthorn Academy had taught her that sometimes, to find the truth, one must be willing to face the shadows and embrace the unknown.

From the Fourth Dimension, nightmares emerged—possessing the weak, devouring the strong. Only six remain of the legendary group known as The Blackthorn Oath. Among them is Keal Draven, the immortal cursed to fight forever. When even children can become monsters… how long can humanity survive?

In a world where demons rule and humanity lingers in the shadows, society is strictly divided. Demons are categorized into three castes: Big Horns, extremely rare and overwhelmingly powerful; Medium Horns, the ambitious middle class; and Small Horns, the common people or demons if you will. Meanwhile, humans live in segregated communities, their very existence dictated by an invisible force known as Life Essence—the intoxicating energy they emit, the substance demons crave. For the safety of both species, humans and demons lead entirely separate lives. Expect for Cassidy "Cass" Veyne, because bro wanted to be different. Born to a powerful Big Horn father and a human mother, Cass is not a demon. He has no horns, no demonic energy, and—most baffling of all—no Life Essence to feed on. Or at least that's what he has been told his whole life. He’s an anomaly in a world that lives on strict order. But his father, a high-ranking noble in demon society, refuses to let him live among humans. Instead, Cass is forced into Blackthorn Academy (fire name I know), an elite private school meant for the most powerful demons in the country or the ones with the most money. From the moment he steps inside, Cass doesn’t belong. No horns. No power. No fear radiating from him like the others. The students whisper behind his back. Teachers look at him like a puzzle. Some demons want to test him. Others want to break him. At the top of Blackthorn’s social hierarchy is Nathaniel "Nate" Azrael, the student body president, the most feared Big Horn in the school, and the heir to a long lineage of royalty. His dark curling horns, piercing silver eyes, and suffocating aura make even strong demons tremble. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Nate thrives on domination and fear—it’s his nature. Cass is the only one who doesn’t flinch under his gaze. He isn’t afraid of him. And for the first time, Nate doesn’t know whether he wants to destroy Cass… or claim him. A forbidden love between two people who should never have met. A boy trapped between two worlds, struggling to prove he belongs. And a dangerous, undeniable pull between a fearless outcast and the demon who feeds on fear itself. This is Blackthorn under hellfire by yours truly.

This mystery leans into slow-burn tension, layering clues (the watch’s duality, Eleanor’s locket) and moral complexity. The open ending invites readers to question whether freedom is won—or merely deferred.

I wrote a book once. It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones. It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners. Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill. Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff. I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth. And then something moved behind me. Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail. My tail? Yellow and black stripes and very, very real. I touched it. Completely real. My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail. What was going on? At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became. This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either. And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp. I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya. Sounds fun, right? Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore. This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality. Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author. But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive. I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, because I smell... Pleasant. What's that all about?
