In a land covered in eternal night, a young girl's light is all that stands between Mankind and the Forces of Darkness.

When the Sun Goddess vanished under mysterious circumstances a thousand years ago, she left the land of Kuro blanketed in eternal night.

Over time, the people learn to harness what remains of the Goddess: the precious and finite resource known as the Goddess Essence. Kurokyuu Orbs, miracles of modern technology, harvest the Goddess Essence and provide light and power to all.

But there is a problem: the Goddess Essence is running out. And it couldn't have come at a worse time.

Whispers abound of a growing evil in the North; stories of shadows that can only be harmed by the light of the sun.

From out of the darkness rises the City of the Sun. Light Spires shine through all twenty-four hours, providing artificial sunlight for all. Everyone that is, but the residents of the Utter Darkness.

In this forsaken place, Mina, a young orphan, is forced to beg and steal on the streets to sustain herself in the hardscrabble way of life.

In the darkest corners, Marauders lurk, hunting little girls, searching for the one known only as "The Maiden".

When Mina falls captive to a roving band of Marauders, she is faced with a life-altering decision: reveal the secret she has been hiding her entire life or stay silent and risk losing her already meager existence?

When people die as a result of her inaction, Mina realizes her secret is no longer hers to keep. A secret that lies in a most unusual ability:

The power to manifest sunlight...

Though she has many twisted secrets and desires, she can not face them alone, in order to rise from the ashes, she must let go of any inhibitions, give herself completely to the temptations, and accept what fate has bestowed upon her. Especially if fate is wrapped up in such a sinful devastatingly gorgeous package. He is a wealthy surgeon concealing a darkness beneath his unearthly beauty.

IF YOU FIND IT ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE, IT HAS BEEN COPIED/REPUBLISHED WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND YOU ARE LIKELY AT A RISK OF A MALWARE ATTACK. IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * From a life of pleasant luxury and heart racing adventure, Yukihara Izumi is unexpectedly thrown into a world of poisonous malice and turmoil. For a not-so-average teenage girl of the modern world, fighting and shady work aren't all that new or surprising. However, similar situations in the Feudal Era are ruthlessly torturous, battering and definitely something anyone would wish to never experience, not even one as steadfast as Izumi. But she soon settles into the rough life with the Feudal Capital's downtown civilians. Not so surprisingly, things aren't always as simple as they seem to be and don't remain so forever either. It took just one unexpected encounter with an unexpected stranger in dire need of help to turn Izumi's life upside down. Dragged into the dark depths of lies, insidious plots and dangerous people in a place where nothing is what it appears to be, it is purely survival of the fittest. The coldest, cruellest and most merciless Emperor to have ever dictated the Empire is not the only one she has to face but also his vicious and obscure vassals that have an eagle's eye on her every move. It has always been easy for Izumi to keep up her inherent strength and determination no matter how dire the situation and that's what she plans on doing even after being thrown into a world of mayhem. But perhaps things can get a lot more complicated and out of hand when deeper emotions are involved - curiosity, deadly desire and suffocating possessiveness. ~~~~~~~~~~ ORIGINAL STORY, PLOT AND CHARACTERS (C) Midnight_Lilac

In this story Y/N is a new student at Kimetsu Academy public school, what new challenges will she face? ♤♧♡♢ Hello everyone! This is my second fic but the first one is currently unfinished, so this one might not be the best considering that I started this in 8th grade and have not been on Wattpad for a long time. I'm an American upper middle class man so European or rich kid habits might not be totally accurate but I've done some research. A reoccurring thing that happens in most of my books is the overuse of the number four, see I have OCD and four is kind of my lucky number so if there is a quantity it will most likely be because of me not because of a hidden meaning behind the story or anything. I currently have Tiktok but I'm logged out. If anyone wants to be mutuals just message me, I'm always down to make new friends. 🗣️Y/N is upper class european so imagine her with a really snobby accent🗣️ ♤♧♡♢ Characters used: Tanjiro Nezuko Inosukee Zenitsu Kanao Aoi Genya Muichiro Yuichiro Shinobu Uzui Mitsuri Kyojuro Obanai Giyuu Kanae Sanemi Gyomei Yoriichi Murata Sabito Makomo Suma Makio Hinatsuru Hotaru Kanamori Kaigaku Ume (Daki) Gyutaro Nakime Hakuji (Akaza) Douma Michikatsu (Kokoshibo) Muzan Lady Tamayo Yushiro
