Synopsis In the world of Zerk, kingdoms wage war over riches, peoples live under violent regimes, and unknown creatures emerge from the wilds. As the Kingdom of Ragen declares war on Isoliusm, something far more ancient awakens beneath the frozen seas of the continent of Screr. Huguel is a lonely 17-year-old student living in the Gelepehull slum in the city of Cara. He struggles to survive poverty, discrimination against the Zombians, and the oppressive rule of the dictator Tsolgaver. After being brutally attacked during a mugging and cast into the sea—left to vanish—Huguel discovers a mysterious light-blue fruit attached to his shoulder: the Alshan. The fruit should not exist. Upon surviving, Huguel awakens powers that allow him to hear thoughts, sense emotions, and connect with the creatures of Zerk. Yet, each power reveals a dangerous truth: he was not chosen by chance. The Alshan is linked to the world's first war, the warring kingdoms, and a revelation that could shatter everything people believe about humanity itself.

The life Ariya knew ended the moment she closed her eyes. After twenty-three years of struggling to survive a life where she never felt like she truly belonged, Ariya awakens in a world far different from her own. A world of magic, mythical races, ancient kingdoms, and destinies written long before she ever existed. But there is one problem. She is no longer Ariya as she knew herself. She has awakened in the body of Princess Ariya Avelune, the beloved daughter of a royal family who believes they almost lost her forever. With no memories of the life this girl lived and no understanding of the world around her, Ariya must navigate the expectations of royalty while hiding the truth she doesn’t even fully understand herself. Surrounded by a family who loves her, a kingdom filled with secrets, and a magic system unlike anything she has ever known, Ariya must discover who she truly is. Because sometimes a second chance isn’t about returning to the life you lost. Sometimes it’s about finding the one you were always meant to have.

Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable.

Two houses, separated by a line in the grass and a bitter, decades-old grudge. Growing up as next-door neighbors, Barrett and Minho were given strict instructions to treat each other as enemies. Instead, they built a quiet, rule-breaking alliance in the dark, communicating only through their facing bedroom windows and meeting under the cover of night. To their families, they are strangers. In reality, they are each other's only escape. Leaving for university offers a chance to finally break free from the weight of their families' hostility. To survive off-campus, they orchestrate a massive lie: coordinating a joint lease on a tiny, shared apartment while convincing their parents they are living completely alone. But dropping the performance of being enemies means facing the reality of who they are to each other. Confined to a single living space with no fences, no hedges, and no distance between them, the boundaries they spent years establishing begin to blur, forcing them to confront what happens when the secrets they keep from their families start turning inward.

In Cosima, where Light and Darkness divide even the immortal, we wield power beyond reckoning. And yet… a force approaches that will take everything from us. We cannot die, but perhaps death is our only salvation.

Eleanor de Guzman, heir to a powerful modern business empire, lives a life built on luxury, reputation, and strict control. But when her family’s company begins to collapse under pressure from a dangerous underground syndicate, she is forced into a deal she never agreed to an arranged marriage tied to a decades-old agreement between her father and the Marquez mafia family. Lucian Marquez, the cold and powerful heir to a modern criminal empire disguised as a global business network, has no interest in romance or tradition. He agrees to the marriage only as a strategic move to strengthen his control and secure unstable alliances within his world. Eleanor refuses to accept her fate, determined not to become a pawn in either her family’s business or Lucian’s dangerous empire. But as threats against her grow and hidden betrayals surface within her own circle, escaping the arrangement becomes impossible. Forced into proximity, Eleanor and Lucian begin as enemies, clashing at every turn as two completely different worlds collide. However, beneath the tension, both begin to uncover truths about each other: Lucian’s ruthless exterior hides a life shaped by violence and isolation, while Eleanor proves she is far from the sheltered heiress everyone assumes she is. As their connection deepens, they discover the marriage is not just a business agreement but part of a larger power war involving corruption, hidden family secrets, and a target placed on Eleanor herself. Now bound together in a world where trust is dangerous, Eleanor and Lucian must decide whether to destroy each other...or survive the storm that was planned long before they met.

Eleanor learns that walking into the fire is easy… walking out untouched is another matter entirely.

Life offers us countless crossroads, each capable of shaping our path in ways we rarely foresee. Even the smallest, most insignificant choices can unleash storms in the distance. Rain is longed for on scorching days and cursed on stormy nights — just as our minds claim to know the answers while our hearts insist on leading us elsewhere. For a seventeen-year-old girl, one such choice turns into a nightmare: four boys are dead, and she is the prime suspect. As she recounts her past to the lead detective, a web of love, betrayal, and buried horrors slowly comes to light. Between present-day interrogation and the memories she cannot escape, she fights to uncover the truth: Who were those boys really? Why was it he, of all people, who left the deepest wound? In the end, only one question remains: How much truth can a heart endure once it has already begun to break?

For eighteen years, Vespera has believed that loneliness was her home. In a world that never truly wanted her, she has learned to endure silence and distrust the warmth of others. But when one night shatters everything she knows, two strangers lead her into Elindros — a realm where memory and magic, life and death intertwine. There, she discovers the truth: she is the vessel of an ancient being, the Sonatius Mortaeda, the entity that embodies death itself. Yet the gift of such power is a curse. To the people of Elindros, Vespera is nothing more than an instrument of destiny — a pawn in a game whose rules she cannot see. With every step, she sinks deeper into a web of lies, fate, and betrayal. Torn between the longing to belong and the fear of losing herself, Vespera must decide which path to follow: the light she has never trusted — or the darkness that feels like home.

Achtzehn Jahre lang hat Vespera geglaubt, die Einsamkeit sei ihr Zuhause. In einer Welt, die sie nie wirklich wollte, hat sie gelernt, Stille zu ertragen und Vertrauen zu meiden. Doch als eine einzige Nacht alles zerstört, was sie kennt, wird sie von zwei Fremden in das Reich Elindros geführt — einen Ort, an dem Magie und Erinnerung, Leben und Tod miteinander verwoben sind. Dort erfährt sie, dass sie das Gefäß eines uralten Wesens ist: des Sonatius Mortaeda, der seit Jahrhunderten über die Seelen Elindros’ wacht. Doch das Geschenk der Macht ist ein Fluch. In den Augen der Elindine ist Vespera nicht mehr als ein Werkzeug — eine Figur in einem Spiel, dessen Regeln sie nicht versteht. Jeder Schritt führt sie tiefer in das Netz aus Lügen, Bestimmung und Verrat. Zerrissen zwischen der Sehnsucht nach Zugehörigkeit und der Angst, sich selbst zu verlieren, muss Vespera entscheiden, welchem Pfad sie folgt. Dem Licht, das sie nie vertraut hat — oder der Dunkelheit, die sie heimlich versteht.

Finally the traveler has stopped traveling, the end of Lumines search for her brother sparked the beginning of a new journey. Warning: please excuse the poor grammar, I also do not know much about Genshin (just started playing) but I thought of this fic after Dilucs story quest and needed to write it so it will be chronologically out of order.

"I'll tell you something about myself— I never mince words. Nature is a beast, Henry. We were not created to live in peace within it. Be grateful for those who let you down; pain is the only truth that endures." The sea wind howls a bitter truth across the North Sea coast: betrayal, not love, is the world's only constant. This is not a tale of heroes and villains, but a brutal exploration of the human soul—a mirror reflecting the savage beauty and terrifying depths we all possess. The guilt-ridden, the desperate, and the cunning are all players in a high-stakes legacy that demands a price from every generation. Beneath the veneer of civilized society, a clandestine order pulls the strings, their influence woven into the very fabric of existence. Secrets fester within an ancient bloodline, grasping like tendrils into the present day. Honour clashes with avarice. Integrity squares off against ruthless force. Cunning faces brutality. Who will rise, and who will be consumed by the abyss? Rumors whisper of a slumbering entity, a primal force stirring beneath the surface. Will it awaken and claim its due, or will it remain dormant, a threat forever lurking in the shadows? Prepare to be swept away in an epic saga where the fate of many hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the beast is far more complex than it seems.

It is not merely an epic about survival, but a magnificent ode to the reconstruction of civilization. What makes this work truly striking is its transcendence of the typical narrative limitations found in similar stories, which often stop at “just surviving.” Instead, it casts its gaze on a far grander question—how humanity can reclaim the lost light of civilization amidst the ruins. The protagonist evolves from a mere shelter-dwelling survivor into a builder of a new order in a post-apocalyptic world. This transformation embodies a profound philosophy of survival. He faces not only scarcity of resources and harsh environmental conditions, but also the distortions and steadfastness of human nature under extreme circumstances. While other survivors are still fighting each other over a single morsel of food, the protagonist is already contemplating how to restore production, rebuild ethics, and preserve knowledge. This shift in thinking—from mere “survival” to creative “re-creation”—is the most luminous spiritual core of the work.

Two sworn enemies an alpha and a beta from rival packs are forced into a dangerous intimacy that fractures loyalties, detonates old sins, and proves that love between enemies can become the deadliest weapon of all.

Rhyse Aurelan had three months left. Eryth Vale had forever to hold his silence. In a crumbling outpost at the world's edge, a solitary scientist tends a plant that should not exist. Its roots are sunk in ash. Its leaves drink a poisoned wind. Still, it blooms-year after year. Among the dust, he finds a box of unsent letters. Each one is addressed to a name he's never spoken. Each one ends the same way: Come home. Through winters when frost bit through the glass, through summers when the air turned to steam, he tends the garden as if the world depends on it. Perhaps it does. He reads the letters when the nights are too long. He waits for someone who will never return. Some things grow because you love them. Some things grow because you can't let them go. And some things... wither the moment you learn the truth. Some things are kept alive out of hope. Others, out of grief. And sometimes, it's impossible to tell the difference.

Song Min worked hard for years to become the best, aiming to get a position no woman in her kingdom had held before, but it all withered the day she got drafted to enter the palace, not as a scholar, not as a worker, but as one of the king’s five hundred women.

An immortal has been bound for millennia—not by chains, but by a curse that devours his power and memory alike. His escape hinges on a single key: a boy with a fractured soul, whose forgotten bloodline can drain the stars themselves. To the boy, he offers salvation—ascension forged in grief, betrayal, and celestial fire. But others are coming. Warriors who barter memories for knowledge and bend reality as a weapon are closing in. They believe they’re chasing a fugitive. They don’t know they’ve stepped into the mouth of a forgotten war—one older than light, one the universe itself was built to forget. Some cages were never meant to be opened. And some beasts were never meant to be freed.

Veleno has a secret. One nobody knows about. A girl, hidden away from the world. She believes he's protecting her - from monsters, from danger, from truth. But what happens when his secret doesn't want to be kept anymore? ❀ Araluen has always trusted him. The only constant in a life she's never lived.

Velisara, sovereign of the Crimson Rose, rose from the ashes of a fallen empire — and from the agony of her own transformation into the Vyrmaal. Immortal, merciless, and unyielding, she rules her Nest with a will of iron and a brutal kind of mercy, defying the stagnant traditions of the Crimson Court at every turn. But rebellion brews in the shadows. A rising force of Veydrathi hybrids, led by the defiant Kharion, threatens to unravel the world she reforged. The old guard conspires in silence. To hold what she has built, Velisara must weave treacherous alliances, make impossible claims, and confront desires too fierce to deny. Bound by fate to powerful men — enemies, allies, monsters, and lovers — she walks a knife’s edge between control and surrender. Each desires a place at her side… but none are willing to share her crown — or her heart. In a realm where sunlight burns, power bleeds, and passion is a deadly game, Velisara is both sovereign and siren — the flame they crawl to when all else fails, the law whispered in fear across the dark. But the fire she commands is not so easily tamed. And if she cannot master the beasts of ambition and longing that circle her throne, the inferno she ignited may devour her empire… and everyone she dares to claim. War watches from the shadows. And it has not yet dared to breathe.
