Korean Mythical Creatures Novels & Stories

Each of the eighteen planets had a kind of divine beast. That was to say, there were a total of eighteen kinds of divine beasts. Furthermore, they were all legendary beings. For example, on a planet where mountains could be seen everywhere, there was a kind of divine beast that was as big as an ox, had no horns, was completely black, and only had one leg. It was called Kui. Another kind of divine beast, Zhulong, had a human face and a dragon body with a candle in its mouth. When these beasts opened their eyes, it was brightness. And when they closed their eyes, it was darkness.

Fear flashed across her eyes. Darryl frowned and asked, "What?" She rolled her eyes and glanced at Darryl, as if she was looking at a fool. "You didn’t even know what it is? And you’re the Nine Heaven Sage?" After thinking for a while, she continued, "After Pangu split open the universe, many enchanted beasts have been born in it. The most famous ones are the four enchanted beasts, Green Dragon, White Tiger, Red Sparrow and Black Tortoise. Although Kunmeng is not as famous as the four enchanted beasts, his is no weak beast."

"It's a mighty and dangerous creature that feeds off on other beings. Once it sets eyes on you, it transmits the wavelength of your soul and breaks them down into dissonances. As soon as it sees the resonance of your soul, it will suck it up thereby making it more powerful." Germaine did not understand a word of the nonsense Ennie had just sprouted. Resonances and dissonances. Those were words that made absolutely no meaning to her. She was still reeling from the possibility of there being other creatures in this realm. As the Loa crashed further on, she looked to where Ennie shook like a leaf and asked. "Apart from werewolves and Loas, are there any other creatures in this realm?" Ennie nod

"Saye, what is that you want me to see-" I say as I enter but pause with wide eyes and back hitting against the wall, shocked. "What the hell is that?" One of the boys, the youngest, has some one-eye creature. It's like a dark gooey substance paste, and someone just glued those plastic eyes for arts and crafts. Its round yellow eyes look around frantically. I feel a chill running down my spine, seeing how disgusting it is. "In the Demon Realm, these are called Carcurus; they are low-level creatures that find a victim and stick themself on a host sucking the life force out of them."

A glow of shapes coalesced around the girl in a wide fan. No, not a fan. Tails, as bright and pale as the moon. She looked like a warrior queen, fierce and unforgiving. And as untouchable as the ghostly tails dancing behind her. Memories flooded Jihoon of Halmeoni reading him fables from the yellowed pages of her books. Stories where foxes lived forever. Where they became beautiful women to entice unsuspecting men. Where those men never survived. Now he understood why the dokkaebi had called her yeowu—fox.

"It must have been an extremely painstaking effort to create them, even for just a mere replica." The Russian seemed to be slightly interested. Javier was less intrigued. He stood, arms crossed with a stern demeanour. Dave stopped at the last sculpture and examined it closely. Some were animal statues of lions, foxes, and the three demons, Krahang, a male ghost that flies in the night. Krasue, a woman's head with her viscera hanging down from the neck. Mae Nak is a female ghost who died in childbirth and can extend her arms. Phi Am, is a spirit that sits on a person's chest during the night. He traced the stonework with his finger, still amazed by what the ancients could do.

explained Miss Kitty eloquently. “So, Mr. Virando is indeed a kind of strong, robust and powerful demon, isn’t he?” asked Mrs. Yulia Kammal raising up her eyebrows again. “Not a demon actually... Yakshasare one level above us humans – more or less semi gods... And so are dragons, gandharbas, kinnaras, mahoragas, and garudas... They’re not demons... Demons are one level below us humans... You know, based on the good deeds... Do you get it?” asked Miss Kitty to Mrs. Yulia after her quite long explanation.

Maybe that’s why I felt like I was being pulled into the forest. “It’s an old ghost story made by the humans, but it was never a ghost in this forest but a Gumiho.” Yong-rae face tensed up with the word Gumiho. “What is a Gumiho?” Rylie asked. “It’s a nine-tailed fox god, in this case, a goddess. They are minor gods of the forest. They roam the earth for thousands of years before ascending to the heaven.” Yong-rea crossed his arms in front of him and slumped down the tree a bit.

He tilted his head, the long hair resting on his bare shoulders. It's really hard to imagine that the creature that made such a big noise just now could be such a human-like species. He looks like a human toddler just waking up from sleep. He watched me for a while, and then I felt the moisture fade from my hands, and a black, scaly object appeared before my eyes. It has four branches, like a monitor lizard's claw, but the center is covered with a thin layer of transparent flesh. I think it should be his hand, a kind of reptilian as well as fish characteristics of the 'hand'.

Another thing that catches Annaliese's eye is a very beautiful woman who has the lower body of a dragon and a scorpion tail with snakes around her ankles. "That's a campe", Kieran explains. "And that's a bungisngis, a kishi, cupid, adze, draugr". He continues to explain following her eyes as they take their seats. "Werebear?", she asks Kieran as she spots someone that looks like a bear. "Yep, that's a berserker and those are daimons". "Demons?" "No, Daimons are helpful spirit guides". "Wow, i didn't know there were so many supernatural creatures".
