Orchestre No Name

Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

"Snarn from his world without warning, Ken finds himself a slave in a strange kingdom where his survival will depend on his cunning and ambition."

Fighting against all threats of worlds, monsters, demons and otherworldly creatures that have invaded earth. A world that was not meant for humanity to live. At least not anymore. Will the last stand and struggle of the humanity pay off in the end? .... There was 5 main characters or 5 playable characters of the game "Last Stand Of Humanity". "Mary", "James", "Ellen", "Florina" and "Ray". The character you plays will become the one with most potential to grow and the other 4 characters become npcs. It was not a particularly popular game (or so Glenn remembers it that way) but Glenn had played it a few times, then he woke up in this world only to be told it was false memories and he didn't transmigrate. But he had no memories of living in this world. Did Glenn really transmigrate or... Did he lose memories?

In a world ruled by sword and will, Fortis Lactresia was never meant to stand out. Born into royalty but overlooked, he walks a path no one else sees. As monsters rain from the skies and kingdoms crumble under hidden rot, Fortis awakens a power tied not to the blade, but to the mind — a force no sworder understands. Calm, unreadable, and carrying the weight of a nation, Fortis doesn’t seek power for pride... but when he moves, the world follows...

**An emperor who refused to rule with blood. A prince who refused to love with restraint.** Elliott Lancaster, the gentle Emperor of a fractured empire, has spent his life avoiding war-and his father's attempts to force him into a political marriage. Instead, he adopted an orphaned noble boy, Aiden, raising him as both heir and unlikely companion. But their bond was never that of father and son. Aiden Lancaster, the perfect prince in court and a storm of violence on the battlefield, has waited years to prove himself. He is devoted to his adopted father- some might even say, too devoted. Still, up till now, he was restrained by Elliott's desire for peace, despite their enemies poking them again and again. But Aiden's patience had its limits- but this underhanded tactic was the straw which broke the camel's back. Now unrestrained, he wages a war so brutal it shocks the empire. When Elliott awakens to find borders redrawn in blood, he must confront the terrifying truth: the boy he raised has become a conqueror, and his devotion has twisted into something far more dangerous. As court factions' scheme and the temple condemns their unnatural bond, Elliott faces an impossible choice: maintain his morals and risk losing Aiden or embrace the ruthless love of the man who would burn the world to protect him.

He was the feral Alpha King buried beneath the mountain. She was the cursed girl they offered to him as sacrifice to end the famine plaguing their lands. ...but what sleeps beneath the mountain is no myth. Ruvan, the first Alpha. Imprisoned, driven to utter madness, and starved of power. Solenne, the packless she-wolf known as the Harbinger of Misfortune. With the power of cursed speech, she is able to kill and bend the world to her will with only one word. To avoid hurting others, she hasn't spoken a single syllable since she was a child. Feared and rejected by her own people, she is given to the mountain in a forbidden ritual-sacrifice... and her scent stirs the beast that slumbers beneath it. His mate. Ruvan will stop at nothing to claim what's his, even if that means storming the heavens and finding the cure to her curse just to hear her speak his name. ---- She saw stars behind her eyes and felt constellations carved into her skin with every lingering touch and each press of his mouth. He painted the night sky onto her body, not with a brush, but with his lips, hands, and his insatiable hunger—until her lungs were empty and her heart soared so high it must’ve kissed the moon. “Solenne,” Ruvan murmured, voice low and reverent, like a prayer. She shivered; the sound of her name on his lips felt like heaven. Ruvan pressed his palm to her stomach, anchoring her as he leaned in, mouth brushing the hollow of her throat. His hand rose, slow and shaking, tracing the shape of her jaw like it was a sight made only for him. His thumb brushed the corner of her mouth and his eyes burned as he studied her. “You feel like the stars,” he whispered, “Mesmerizing and bright... something that I want to capture and keep to myself." And then he kissed her; it was a deep, aching vow he couldn’t speak aloud. A promise made only in breath, heat, and need. When they parted, he gently pressed his forehead against hers. His voice dipped lower… uncertain, maybe even afraid: “Say my name?” -- R18, werewolves, fated love, weak to strong... I hope you enjoy my second entry for 2025 WSA. :) give it a shot~

Winter, gadis muda dari desa kecil yang dikenal karena ketegarannya, harus mengubur impian masa mudanya saat sang ayah terlilit utang besar kepada seorang bangsawan kaya raya dan dingin bernama Sebastian Ashbourne. Demi menebus utang itu, Winter 'dijual' ke keluarga bangsawan tersebut — bukan sebagai pelayan, bukan pula sebagai tamu kehormatan, tetapi sebagai "jaminan hidup", sebuah posisi yang menggantung antara budak dan tamu, tanpa hak, namun harus tunduk. Dengan keyakinan bahwa ini adalah awal dari kehidupan yang lebih baik — atau setidaknya bebas dari kemiskinan — Winter melangkah masuk ke rumah megah itu. Namun yang ia temui hanyalah dinginnya tembok batu, tatapan sinis para pelayan, dan perlakuan kasar dari sang bangsawan. Hari-harinya dipenuhi hinaan, makian, dan tugas-tugas yang seolah sengaja dibuat untuk menjatuhkan harga dirinya.

Ayla Rahmani never believed in fairy tales—especially not the kind where a broke nurse like her ends up in the bed of Indonesia’s most untouchable billionaire after a single night of escape from reality. But one drunken mistake at a high-society masquerade ball leaves her with two surprises: a positive pregnancy test... and a cold, unwanted proposal from Leonard Darmawan—the very CEO she can’t stand. To Leo, marriage is just another business contract. To Ayla, it's a lifeline for her unborn child. Neither expects the sterile, awkward marriage to become something warmer, deeper—something real. But behind closed doors, love begins to grow in the quietest ways: in late-night meals, shared silences, and a husband's gentle hand on a swelling belly. Until the past catches up—with secrets that threaten everything they’ve built. Will their fragile bond survive the truth? Or will love after marriage prove too delicate to endure?

Each step leads him deeper into a mystery he cannot understand, each battle taking more than it gives. Yet, even as the world tests his limits, he refuses to break. But where is he? Why is he here? And what awaits him beyond the next choice he makes? Some questions have answers. Others only lead to more questions.

There had never been silence like that. It wasn’t the absence of sound — it was presence. Heavy. Alive. A stillness that crushed memory, breath, time. Elías awakens on cracked earth beneath a sky of rotten red and black-blue. The stars above drift like bloated, decaying eyes — floating in stagnant fluid. There is no sun. No moon. Only a damp, unholy light that seeps from nowhere. The air tastes like ash and burns like guilt — and something inside him stirs. He doesn’t remember this world, but it remembers him. He doesn’t know what he lost, but it’s still bleeding. When the silence finally whispers his name, he understands: Elías is not alive. Not dead. He is what remains. And this world — whether the last, or just the next — will bleed before it forgets him again
