Blurb: Adopted into the wealthy Hargrove family, Charlotte believed she had found her place in the world. But the return of Evelyn, the rightful heiress, triggers a series of strange events: shadowy figures in the woods, whispers in the walls, and memories Charlotte can’t recall. Jack, a mysterious figure who claims to be her protector, warns her of a deadly ritual tied to a centuries-old curse. As the lines between truth and deception blur, Charlotte must uncover the family’s darkest secrets before the curse claims her life—or her sanity. Trope: Adopted into danger, unraveling family secrets, an immortal protector with ulterior motives, and a “chosen one” caught in a web of betrayal and destiny. Climax: The cult captures both Charlotte and Evelyn, preparing to enact the ritual in the family chapel. Jack, overcome with guilt, helps Charlotte escape, but Evelyn refuses to leave, convinced her death is inevitable. Charlotte confronts the cult leader, who reveals that breaking the curse requires the destruction of the family artifact—a mirror that binds the ancient force. The artifact can only be destroyed by someone tied to both bloodlines. Charlotte, realizing her connection to the Hargrove legacy, uses the mirror to unleash the trapped force on the cult. In a final twist, Jack sacrifices himself to destroy the mirror and sever his immortality, ensuring the curse is broken. Denouement: • Charlotte and Evelyn: Evelyn survives but leaves the estate, seeking a new life free from the family’s dark history. Charlotte continues to rebuild and redefine her identity without the shadow of the curse. • Hints of Lingering Darkness: Although the curse is broken, remnants of the ancient force linger in the woods, suggesting not all is resolved. • Final Revelation: Charlotte finds a hidden journal from Jack, hinting at deeper truths about her origins and the possibility that she may not have been adopted by chance.

“Aegir..” A single word remains in Cetas’ mind as he succumbs to the everlasting pressure of the depths - a glimmer of light filtering from above. He floats endlessly, the tidal currents rushing his body to who-knows-where yet he remains unconscious as the word echoes in his mind. He no longer remembers any memories that he once had but only mere fragments of what his past once was. A depth-dweller. A long lost race of ancient, forgotten in history as humans usurped the throne of the world, claiming superiority amongst other races of legend. After the war of mystics, only humans endured to live and gather themselves once more - dominating the entire world by force. Yet, depth dwellers remained - hidden and forgotten. And now.. The first would rise up on the surface. For hours upon hours, Cetas let the currents take him away, rendering his consciousness useless everytime he woke up. But now, it seemed that a warm and radiating light pierced his very pressurized skin. It was.. unfamiliar. He opened his eyes only to be greeted by a rocking hull, shaking synchronously with the sound of crashing waves. Yet, somewhere near him, he heard a faint and soft voice speaking a foreign language. He shifted his head to the direction of the voice and saw an unfamiliar face of a golden-haired lady with sea-like blue eyes, staring at him with utmost curiosity. The lady opened her mouth and let out another wave of unfamiliar words. Perplexed, Cetas sat up slowly, moving his body sluggishly. He then gazed at his surroundings, first staring at the massive rocking hull and onto the wooden floor and to the people surrounding him. Some wore bandanas and others wore white-loose blouses paired with leather boots and tricorn hats. However, Cetas wasn’t at all surprised by the unfamiliar scenery. But rather, he gazed above the sky, reaching far beyond the clouds, and saw the burning sphere of light that penetrated his deep-black eyes. Upon staring for 5 seconds he instinctively winced in pain. “Ow!” He looked around once more, pacing his head back and forth towards the unfamiliar people around him, and pondered, “Where am I?”

Althea stood at the doorway of the bridal suite, her heart heavy with a weight she couldn't shake. The dress lay on the bed, pristine and untouched, a cruel reminder of everything she had lost. It wasn't supposed to be her walking down the aisle, pledging herself to a man she barely knew. But here she was, forced to step into her sister's place. Her sister's choice to leave had devastated her. She had rejected a life that demanded sacrifice and duty, choosing freedom over family. And Althea, for all her anger and confusion, was left with no choice but to save the family's reputation. She had to wear the dress, say the vows, and marry a man she didn't love. Her fingers trembled as she adjusted the veil, staring at her reflection. She looked perfect-beautiful, poised-but she didn't feel that way. She felt like a shadow, a replacement for the woman who should've been here. The weight of the gown suffocated her as she prepared to step into a life that wasn't hers to claim. She wasn't ready for this. She wasn't ready to marry him. But with every step she took toward the chapel, the reality set in. There was no turning back. And there, at the altar, stood Elijah. His eyes locked on hers as she approached, his gaze intense, unreadable. A faint smile curved his lips, one she couldn't quite decipher, but there was something in it that made her blood run cold. Satisfaction. He looked at her as if she were an object, something to be claimed. With each step, his smile deepened, pleased with what was walking toward him. He wasn't looking at her as a woman to be loved. He was looking at her as a prize, something that had finally fallen into his grasp. Althea's throat tightened. She couldn't turn back now, not with everyone watching. As she reached the altar, she realized the vows she was about to speak weren't hers to make. They had been written for her sister, and now she would speak them, to a man who had claimed her sister's life and was now claiming hers by default.

After the destruction of the world, the remnants of humanity found refuge in fortified mega-cities, shielded from the omnipresent radiation that blanketed the land. These urban fortresses provided enough resources for their inhabitants to remain self-sufficient, yet the experience of life within varied dramatically based on one crucial factor: wealth. While the affluent lived like gods, the impoverished slum dwellers struggled daily for survival. Basic necessities—food, water, and clothing—became sacred treasures in the squalor of the slums. Kael, having endured the harrowing trials of the slums for 17 years, believes nothing worse could befall him. Unbeknownst to him, however, the universe has far more in store, weaving a fate that will challenge his very existence.

A long time ago, the demon king set the world on fire and blood. It is said that it was more than 50 meters high, that it crushed cities, that it dried up rivers, that wherever it passed, misfortune and desolation reigned.
