For a thousand years, the monstrous Alzarel has remained imprisoned, defeated by three legendary sorcerers and locked away in a cage reinforced by twelve mystical seals. Over centuries, these seals scattered across the world, hidden in ancient ruins, forgotten tombs, and even human vessels. Now, a fanatical group known as the Vortex Order has made it their mission to destroy the seals and release Alzarel, believing his return will bring them ultimate power. The Crimson Vanguard, a renowned order of warriors, has trained tirelessly to oppose them, waging a secret war to protect humanity from the shadows. But the balance shifts when eleven of the seals are destroyed, and the twelfth is revealed to reside within a seemingly ordinary 16-year-old boy. Hunted by the Oblivion Cult and barely protected by the Crimson Vanguard, he must navigate a world of hidden dangers, unraveling secrets about his destiny and the dark power he harbors. As the seals' destruction nears completion, the boy faces a harrowing choice: will he sacrifice himself to keep Alzarel imprisoned, or risk unleashing an ancient evil that could end the world?

[WSA 2025 Entry] The apocalypse is here, and it’s so overdone. Monsters? Check. Burning sky? Check. Random system that gives you powers but also wants your firstborn? Double check. In the middle of this mess are two guys who couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried: The Fool: A guy who’s spent his life perfecting the art of doing nothing. His resume includes “professional procrastinator”, “class clown”, “expert nap taker”, etc... Now he’s got to survive an apocalypse that didn’t even give him a heads-up. How rude. The Regressor: A guy who’s lived through the end of the world more times than he can count. Literally. Because he forgot. Now he’s just a brooding mess with a leather jacket and zero useful advice. When the fool realizes his classmate is a regressor, he’s like, “Great. I’m stuck with the guy who’s seen it all but remembers none of it. This’ll go well.” Yet, they will still group up and face trials that test their sanity more than their skills. But as the so-called End demands more blood and the regressor’s memories start to resurface, they realize the real apocalypse might be their inability to agree on where to hide. Can a lazy dreamer and a forgetful hero save the world? Probably not. But hey, at least they’ll have a good story to tell—if they survive. ________ __ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

Seventeen-year-old Chase Martinez lives life on the edge: skipping classes, pulling reckless pranks, and burning bridges. But when a car accident takes his life, he's offered an extraordinary deal: go back three months and fix his mistakes, or face the same tragic end for good. But there's a twist: he wakes up in the body of Chloe Martinez, a female version of himself, with everyone believing she's always existed. As he navigates her life, he begins to uncover strange clues that suggest there’s more to his return than just a second chance. Trapped in Chloe’s body, Chase must repair relationships and unravel the mystery of why he was brought back—before time runs out.

Magic corrupts over time and the Starborn, creatures created by the magic of the Lord of the Stars, are the only ones that can cleanse it. A terrible tragedy ensured that Ash is the last Starborn left breathing and it now stops the gods from interfering in the world that they govern. A new god, an upstart that is only part of their pantheon in a singular world, offers a deal that none of them can refuse. He will create a connection between the world they can no longer touch and another. In exchange, he will join them in full, part of their number in all worlds they govern. The gods have no other choice. Some of them seek a way to save the world that will die without the Starborn. Some of them seek the loving connections they lost when they were forced away from the world. One of them seeks more power, the chance to build something new. Perhaps the world the Starborn kept from ruin will be saved or perhaps it will fall. Either way, there's entertainment to be had.
