Summary of the story: "Under the Enemy Moon" In a world where werewolves have existed for centuries, two clans, the Fierce and the Nocturnes, have been engaged in an ancient war. Their conflict dates back to a long-forgotten betrayal, and the hatred between them seems indestructible. The Fierce, known for their discipline and sense of honor, are the protectors of the territory. The Nocturnes, wilder and more untamed, are known for their raw power and refusal to follow any rules. This rivalry has been fueled by centuries of conflict, power struggles, and bloody murders. At the heart of this war is Fiona, a young she-wolf from the Fierce clan, who has always been protected by her elders. But one day, during a reconnaissance mission, she comes face-to-face with Kane, a member of the enemy clan, the Nocturnes. As they clash, a strange chemistry develops between them, an intense attraction neither of them fully understands. Kane, the heir to the Nocturnes' leader, is far from the monster Fiona had imagined. He is charismatic, honorable despite the brutality of his clan, and he feels a mysterious bond with Fiona that he cannot explain. Fiona, on her part, is torn between the instinct of loyalty to her clan and the attraction she feels for this mortal enemy. Their encounter upends everything they thought they knew about their clans and their beliefs. As their relationship develops, they discover that their bond goes beyond mere attraction.

Have you ever wondered as a child? What would we humans find, once we leave the bosoms of Earth and journey past the heavens and into the black void of space. What lifeforms would we encounter and what planets we would colonize. Well humanity had finally left Earth and was in the process of colonizing the various other worlds within the system until they came. What did people think when we finally encountered aliens from beyond our solar system? How did they look? What intentions did they have? Were they huge monstruous beings from our darkest imaginations? Nope they look just like us albeit, more like the elves of fantasy. But what did many theories and movies, produced throughout human history get right, that they would be assholes. Disclaimer artwork cover is not mine just a representation art for reference.

Mythology and Legends were seen as nothing more than imagination by most of the people of Earth after the Age of Enlightenment, an attempt of the past humans to explain phenomenon they could not understand and though faiths existed, most have started to believe them to be nothing more than imagination. That however changed in 2023 when God and higher beings suddenly started to choose people from amongst the populace and gave them power to use, essentially turning them into superhumans and the fully cemented the fact that the Supernatural do indeed exist. The Earth has changed greatly with these chosen people becoming the most important people in the world due to their status and strength as some of them are even leaders of their own nations. The emergence of Gates and it's dangers however allowed the world to realise the reason as to why the higher beings have decided to bless them. The chosen fight them and are admired and the chosen people, called the Blessed, were a career that was sought after by many in the world as it gave fame and fortune. This is a world where myths and modernity collide. A/N: This book is inspired by "Blessed by the Night" by AnathaShesha as I liked the system with which the story was written, so there might be some similarities between the two stories.

Yggdrasil, the world tree. A being of omnipotence that controls and guides the universe with its infinite influence and wisdom, seeking an outcome that no man or creature could comprehend. Many believe the world tree contains the universe and keeps it stable simply, but the truth is hardly ever so simple. Yggdrasil manifests the universe's will and constantly searches for a net positive outcome. However, these outcomes often come at great prices, with many of the Tree's actions resulting in the loss of millions of sentient lives. However, the Tree is Omnipotent and thus sees life at an infinite scale. This infinite view allows the tree to see the long-term effects of the decisions it makes, thus resulting in 100% net positive outcomes. However, in the past 60 years, there has been a disturbance, one from another universe entirely—a universe where pure chaos reigned supreme, and there was no overseer. This chaotic universe has begun to bleed through the universal folds of time and space, allowing interaction between the two. As a result of this bleeding, the planet most important to Yggdrasil's desired universal outcome is being overrun by the Void Seekers. In order to save its universe and destroy the Void, Yggdrasil has made a Drastic decision—a decision involving one man: Magni Gunvaldsen. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Welcome to my story, fellow humans. I have had to rewrite this story 15 times because I was never truly satisfied with it, but here I am with the final product. I have solidified the plot, given my main character a real personality, and corrected my writing style to fit the theme of the book more closely. The amount of time and effort I have put into this book is honestly frightening, but nonetheless, it is worth every second, penny, and sleepless night. I have set this novel up so that I can continue it indefinitely if need be, but I will at least have three volumes written in three years. Each novel will be 50 full-length chapters long and jam-packed with content, but I will not slack on the quality. I will be posting chapters at a minimum of 3k words once a week, and some will even go up to 6k or 7k. The first volume will focus on Magni's unique situation, emotions, and his drive for success. It will touch on many things, such as mental health, expectations, faith, and the will of others. The second volume will Focus on revenge and how the idea is flawed but, in an imperfect world, is a necessary evil. The 3rd volume will focus on the concept of destiny, the emotion of love, the correlation between the two, and the inverse. (this is when Magni's love interest will be revealed). Of course, there will still be plenty of action; this is an action novel series, but there will be solid themes of love in this 3rd volume. If that's not your cup of tea, then I don't care. I'm sure plenty of loyal readers out there will support me despite you. Welcome to a journey of a lifetime, and I hope you enjoy. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] If you want real-time updates on my progress or just want to support me, you can go ahead and follow my Instagram, @Cathulhu01_OFF. I'm mainly doing this as a hobby, but if it takes off(which I doubt it will, but one can only hope and work harder), I will put a link to my Patreon.

Both your life and the lives of those closest to you who genuinely support you on your path will be at stake. "After a while, Song An broke the unusual stillness with a somber and reflective tone, saying, "Uncle Su, I already told you to not call me 'my lord' anymore. Even though I am now a nobody, I still want to attempt my risky path because I can't do anything that will make me regret it. I will now make everyone who had interfered with my joyful life regret ever entering this world". Uncle Su looked out the window with a sigh on his face.
