    Summary

    Dying didn't hurt you, not as much as you expected. You'd killed plenty, and were prepared for it.

    What took you by surprise was, after you opened your eyes, you were in unfamiliar territory. There were so many questions, so many differences. The only things that were the same was the shake in your hands, and the lack of words on your tongue. The crippling anxiety eating away at your sanity.

    After some time, trying to find your bearings you realize if you don't figure out something fast, you're going to starve or succumb to the elements. The circus in town may be your only option. You heard there was an opening to feed the animals?

    Summary

    The world revolves around. Since childhood, you have been inside the city, you've never gotten out because there are no relatives who live outside villages, or even at any time for a break to spend time with your family. It's suffocating. The city always held ‘the perfect images’.

    You decided, fuck it all, your parent, friends only cared for numbers, except for the emotions of a calm and intelligent person. You left the main city and founded a place that’s safer and more comfortable than the main city.

    Amongst the normal city far away, there's the arrival of a circus after the day you settled into your new apartment, with horror. Of course, you liked it, horror always makes you thrilled. But why did you dream of something weird and disturbing?

    But you know deep inside yourself, you liked it, and never ran away from it but embraced it. You loved the pain, it stung pleasurably, you are going insane. After all, slowly you loved the pain. They know you're gonna accept them.

    It's comforting, somehow.

    Summary

    Inspired by and related to AshinaUzumaki's fic "Welcome to the Show... OH FUCK NO"

    After the universe saw fit to kick you into the 1800s to take over the life of the Showman, you've been... managing. Your friends are dangerous, your inner circle thick as thieves, the blood on your hands never seems to dry, and up until VERY recently you found your sense of agency being toyed with. Out of love, of course. Always out of love.

    But now that your monstrous friends have figured out how far is too far, maybe you're finally safe enough to see if their bite is as enticing as their bark makes it sound.

    Summary

    While you were very comfortable with simple spells and household magic, you practiced magic beyond your capabilities.

    It was successful in a way, but unfortunately your grimoire was still sitting on your desk. You’d have to rely on your memory to get home. Thank goodness you found yourself a beautiful pink eyed assistant, even if that was an accident as well. The monsters that joined her was just a bonus.

    Summary

    Your father always told you about monsters when you were small. Terrible and godless creatures that hid in the shadows and fissures beyond human society. Beasts sent from hottest hell to test mankind with their words and their deception.

    They are not of this world, you’d hear him say. They use dark and wicked means to prey on the weaknesses of men, women, children, it didn’t matter. They crudely mimic human faces, hide amongst neighbors. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light, he’d recite.

    OR:

    An AU in which the old circus Ringmaster had a child, one who was kept in the dark about the true nature of the performances ever since they began. But when your curiosity boils over and fuels you to sneak into the hidden room just inside the main show tent that you were forbidden to enter, you begin to question everything you've ever known, everything you've ever been taught.

    What makes a monster? What makes a sinner and what makes a saint? Most importantly, what makes a person?

    Summary

    "It's all fun and games till someone falls in love"

    The circus finally arrived to your town after five years since the last one yet it can't help but bring a sense of dread instead of the usual excitement pooling at the base of your stomach.

    Mainly for four reasons:
    •It appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the night.
    •Children are not allowed inside thanks to its heavy horror themed attractions
    •It last for 30 whole days
    •And five workers seems a bit too excited to welcome you to their performances.

    But you can't back down now, can you? Especially since you have promised your best friend to be there for her as she gets over her fear of clowns.

    You will just have to deal with an clingy pierrot, a cocky harlequin, a cold ticket taker, a curious doctor and a mysterious jester. . .
    .
    .
    .
    Mh?

    Wasn't there also a sweet fool?

    Summary

    For as long as (Name) can remember, ghosts have followed them.

    Not the dramatic kind from horror movies they were just lingering souls, quiet shadows, and forgotten people standing where no one else could see them.

    It made childhood lonely. It made adulthood strange.

    Now working as a barista in a small café on the edge of town, (Name) has settled into a routine of ignoring the dead and focusing on the living.

    Until a traveling circus arrives.

    The Horror Freak Circus.

    Its performers are extremely odd though good looking. Its atmosphere feels wrong. And among the crowds, a silent clown with black vertical slits makeup keeps appearing at the café.

    But what truly catches (Name)'s attention isn't the clown.

    It's the beautiful ghost following him.

    A ghost with stitched wings.

    A ghost who never stops staring.

    I don't particularly plan to make big stories. It will be just small independent stories that will concern one or more characters. I am proud to contribute to the community with this creation WITHOUT AI (the characters do not belong to me but I thank the creator of this game which is an absolute GOAT)
