The Exorcist : Origins

Tanay_Mishra_5351
In a world where unseen forces feed on human weakness, survival is decided by one thing—power. Kaito Arashi lives a quiet, invisible life. To others, he’s just another student drifting through routine. But behind that silence lies something fractured—something not entirely human. The night everything breaks, Kaito is forced to confront it. A demon. A choice. And a power that was never meant to belong to him. --- Now marked as a vessel, Kaito walks a dangerous line between human and monster. To fight the creatures that prey on humanity, he must rely on the very thing he fears most—the demon within him. But borrowed power comes with a cost. --- As he steps deeper into the hidden world of Exorcists, Kaito begins to learn the truth: Power isn’t given. It’s shaped. Not all monsters are demons. And not all humans deserve to be saved. --- Between brutal training, deadly encounters, and the fragile bonds he forms along the way, Kaito struggles to find control over his abilities—and himself. But when survival demands impossible choices… --- Kaito is forced to face a terrifying question: If you must become a monster to stop one… what remains of you in the end?

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me *character portraits commissioned
