After losing his family one night, Ren disappeared from everyone—including his best friend, Kai. Months later, he returns as if nothing happened… but the past he ran from is still there. Hina isn’t convinced. Along with her friends, she starts noticing the cracks he’s trying to hide. The closer they get, the more they uncover—not just about his past, but about the choices he made. Friendships begin to fall apart. Trust slowly breaks. And the truth threatens to destroy what little remains. Because sometimes… running away isn’t the worst thing you can do. Sometimes, it’s what you did before you ran that matters.

People shunned me, labeling me a defective Alpha long before I understood what that meant. The only person who ever stayed by my side was Alex. We learned how to survive on the streets together—until he couldn’t take it anymore and started selling drugs. Luck had never touched my life. I was the one who got caught. The woman who stopped me was powerful enough to destroy me in her own twisted way. "A spoon," she said. I didn’t understand how it was possible, but she meant to reduce me to a mere spoon. Then she let me go, warning me never to appear in front of her again. But... I was a really, really unlucky person and met her again. And again. Until it became impossible to walk away from her. Being spared by her felt dangerously close to being chosen for something. Despite knowing it would destroy me, I found myself yearning for more of her. I had no one who truly cared about me. Except Alex. So her mercy slowly began to feel like belonging. ***** It's Omegaverse, where Female Alpha's has a dick.

Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Athena then kicked Medusa out, far from her temple and home. Medusa met Perseus, but he did not kill her. Instead, he was given an artifact by Medusa that would help him on his journey, and Medusa chose to disappear from the earth. She lived in seclusion, far from the human world, wrapping her snakes in a turban if she needed to venture into the human realm, and lived alone for centuries.

Decades of Cold War nuclear testing has led to the evolution of a new species of bacteria, colloquially referred to as Revenants - bacterial colonies only able to grow upon the hearts of 'hosts', granting them supernatural abilities and strength. In the ensuing years of turmoil, the United States creates the institution of Urasaria Academy, composed of young hosts who investigate and kill violent criminal hosts. In 2018, the young lesbian Mia Schultz is knocked unconscious and kidnapped by an unknown assailant. She awakens at Urasaria Academy to discover that she has been given a Revenant named Worldwide - the ability to summon an elemental swarm of fire scarabs. As she begins her new life at Urasaria, she is soon pulled into the mystery of Worldwide's true origins. === Urasaria Academy is a long-running series centered around the lives of the mostly-female, mostly-lesbian superpowered Urasaria students who kill violent criminals. Its primary influences are the serious literary dramas, romances, and horrors that I love, mixed with shonen / seinen influence. To answer other questions you may have: Q) When are chapters posted? A) Monday / Wednesday / Friday. Chapters are generally 2k-3k words each. There will be a 1-month hiatus between arcs to hopefully minimize delays. (NOTE: For now, I am daily-posting to help catch this version of Urasaria up to the versions on SH/RR. Please support on whichever platform you like! Thank you.) Q) When will this be completed? A) The first draft was 600kish words, so finalizing it here involves a timescale of years, not months. I've been writing Urasaria in some form for 8 years, so it will definitely be completed eventually, I just can't pin down when. Q) Are there any content warnings? A) Too many to count, but generally, I don't do things for shock value. Dark topics are covered as normal occurrences in life, not for edginess or to trigger. However, I wouldn't recommend Urasaria if you are upset by fictional gore / body horror. Q) Can I create fanwork based on Urasaria? A) I would be *honored* if somebody made fanwork based on Urasaria. Q) Is there anything else I should know? A) Your visual imagination should be anime-based, not live-action (otherwise cute things will be mistaken as horrifying). Cover by Konorin. No AI used (or ever will be used).
