Alex Burns

The sky shimmered with twin suns, casting warm hues over rolling hills and ancient forests. The air itself buzzed with an unseen energy, and the very ground beneath his feet hummed faintly, as if alive with secrets waiting to be unraveled. He blinked against the unfamiliar light, confusion etched across his face. But confusion quickly gave way to awe. A bird soared overhead, trailing glimmers of blue light in its wake. Nearby, a child pointed a finger at a fallen branch, whispering a single word—and the wood floated into the air, spinning gently before settling neatly into a bundle. Magic. It was real. Tangible. Everywhere. In that moment, a hunger was born in him. Not a hunger for food, nor for wealth or fame, but something far deeper—a yearning. A need. An obsession. The magic of this world, this radiant, endless force that danced in the air and bled through every leaf and stone, had sparked something inside him. And each passing day only fanned that flame higher. His only goal became understanding Magic and growing in Magic. It consumed his thoughts. He chased rumors of ancient scrolls, watched from shadows as mages cast their spells, and spent sleepless nights sketching symbols he didn’t yet understand. He would kneel before old statues and listen to forgotten songs, desperate to catch even a whisper of arcane truth. Because he knew—knowledge was the key. The key to understanding this world. The key to understanding Magic. And knowledge… was the key to understanding the Universe.

This Is a short story concerning Kazuma and the rest of his allies. They are kids born in a harsh society as assassins and soliders where they go on missions and become as strong as they can to live the life they want to live.

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

She loved him like the moon—distant, untouchable, and dangerously beautiful. He loved her like a secret—hidden, forbidden, and doomed from the start. Rain was born in dirt and raised in silence—an omega in a world that worships strength. Her only joy? The quiet, stolen moments with Batista, the Alpha prince who once defended her when no one else would. She loved him from the shadows, never expecting to be seen. Then he saw her… and destroyed her. He ordered her mother’s execution. He sentenced Rain to death. And she died—almost. But the girl they threw into the pit came back. Not as a servant. Not as a traitor. As something more. Now Rain walks with rage in her heart and fire in her blood. And Batista—the Alpha who once held her hand and shattered her world—wants her back. But this time? She’s not the one who’ll kneel. In a world on the brink of war, where lies wear crowns and love demands blood, Rain must decide if she’ll burn the past to the ground… or become the weapon fate always meant her to be.

Adaleine, Crown Princess of Solmira, died in fire and fury. She woke up in silk sheets—inside the body of her enemy, Lyara Kaereth. Haunted by the screams of the girl whose skin she now wears, Adaleine must navigate a court that would kill her if they knew the truth. Worse, Prince Ronan—the man who might’ve once loved her—now looks at her with a mix of longing, hatred, and suspicion. But the Mirror Curse is unraveling. Old gods stir. Forgotten magic awakens. And the body Adaleine stole… may not stay hers forever. As secrets bleed, as souls tangle, and as love dares to grow between enemies, Adaleine must choose: Burn again—or destroy the only man who ever saw her.

He was once the Crown Heir to the Great Dominion of Valrion — respected, admired, loved… until they turned on him. His own family. His closest friend. His beloved. Falsely accused of treason, stripped of his powers, and burned at the stake, Aedric Valtoris died cursing the gods. But the heavens heard him. And now — reborn 10 years in the past — with memories of betrayal carved deep into his soul, Aedric will tear through the realm with only one goal: Revenge. But in a world filled with gods, demons, blood contracts, and forbidden magic, he must fight not just for vengeance… …but for the right to rewrite destiny itself.

The Bride They Burned He married me for a bet. Then made me bleed to entertain his friends. I was the perfect wife. Obedient. Loving. Devoted. Until my husband turned my life into a game. > “Walk on glass to save your son.” “Smile while you bleed.” “Beg like a good girl.” And when I finally broke, they ended me—with a knife to my heart and laughter in their eyes. But I didn't stay dead. I returned in a new body. More beautiful. More dangerous. And this time—I won’t cry. I won’t beg. I’ll make them fall for me. And then I’ll destroy them. One by one. ---

Dois grupos. Duas luzes opostas. Uma rivalidade que queima há anos.

Brasileiro de alma quente e sangue coreano, Kai esconde o caos por trás do sorriso de idol perfeito. Desde a morte da mãe, tudo parece à beira de desmoronar — mas ele prefere engolir a dor a demonstrar fraqueza. Até porque ele não pode se dar ao luxo de errar. Não quando os olhos do mundo estão sempre nele. Do outro lado, após dois anos afastado cumprindo o serviço militar obrigatório, Dae, o líder enigmático do ECLYSE, está de volta.

E agora, obrigados a dividir o mesmo estúdio. Enquanto os fãs travam batalhas online e a mídia especula cada olhar trocado, os dois ídolos embarcam numa guerra silenciosa de provocações, ressentimentos mal resolvidos e tensão crescente.
