The Red Moon has risen. The world is crumbling. And survival has a price. Benson Lovejoy never asked for the chaos that’s turned Earth upside down. When the Red Moon appeared, the world was torn apart by mutations and the arrival of the Wayward system—a mysterious force that grants abilities to those chosen to wield them. As the last remnants of humanity are pushed to their limits, Benson finds himself trapped in a brutal new world where the strong prey on the weak, and only the ruthless survive. Now, forced into a deadly arena with others who share the same cursed fate, Benson must fight not just for his life—but for control over the power that’s taking over his mind. Greed, an insatiable hunger, threatens to consume him with every use of his ability. The more he feeds it, the stronger he becomes—but the more he loses himself. With enemies closing in and allies who are as dangerous as the creatures loitering in the dark, Benson’s only hope may lie in mastering his power before it devours him entirely. But the clock is ticking, and the game has only just begun. Can he survive this world, or will he become its next monster?

But as he digs deeper into the cause of humanity’s downfall, he uncovers a terrifying truth: he wasn’t the only one sent back in time. In a world teetering on the edge of annihilation, where blood powers the strongest and betrayal runs deep, Kieran must fight not just to survive—but to rewrite destiny itself.

In the Glory Continent, the mysterious thread of fate tightly entangles Solomon and the Victoria family. When he was four years old, he was brought to the family by the old servant Benson. At first, he shone like a bright new star, but he fell into a difficult situation of cultivation due to an accident and was ridiculed and ignored. However, Solomon's perseverance enabled him to find the forbidden book in the difficult situation, practice the unique holy law, and establish a sincere friendship with Lianna, embarking on the road of counterattack. The Victoria family is powerful, but it attracts covetousness from all parties. With powerful enemies outside and traitors inside, the family is in danger. Although the Lord of the Sky Domain fought hard, he gradually became powerless. Solomon used his wisdom to see the root of the crisis and resolutely went to the Misty Forest alone. In the forest, he experienced the raid of the Shadow Wolf and the ordeal of the trap, and finally found the "Heart Sutra of the Holy Law" in the mysterious ruins. The road of cultivation is painful, and every time the Yuanli runs, it seems to be hovering on the edge of hell, but he breaks through the limit with his tenacious perseverance, achieves an amazing transformation, and his strength soars like a rocket. After returning to the family, Solomon turned the tide, but aroused the jealousy of the Lord of the Sky Realm, and his love was also obstructed. But he was fearless, won respect with his outstanding performance, and became the core of the family. At this time, the Shadow Cult was like a demonic shadow covering the continent, and wherever it went, it was shrouded in darkness and all living things were destroyed. The Victoria family was the first to bear the brunt and fell into despair. Can Solomon lead the family to break through the darkness with his strong strength? Can his love with Lianna bloom in the midst of many difficulties? Everything is waiting for your exploration in the passionate legend of the Glory Continent.

The Alien Within Grinwall is no ordinary country, and Riverdale Academy is no ordinary school. Both are covert battlegrounds where powerful beings, hidden identities, and secret alliances shape the destiny of those who inhabit them. Among these is Tessa Caldwell, a Kaelrian alien with unmatched speed and a mysterious, water-like fragrance. Adopted by her teacher, Ms. Caldwell, Tessa tries to blend in, but her distinct blue eyes betray her origins to those who know where to look. Her life changes when Adrian, a fellow Kaelrian with a fiery aura and god-like confidence, arrives at Riverdale. Their connection is undeniable, but it attracts dangerous attention. When Adrian’s alien nature is revealed during a dramatic hospital incident, chaos erupts. Government agents are dispatched, and Principal Hammond is forced to defend Riverdale’s reputation, as students react with fear, admiration, and jealousy. Bridget Mills, Tessa’s rival, mocks her defeat by claiming she lost to an "alien," while others, like Oxlade and Karl, recount how Adrian saved them. Yet the growing tension at Riverdale is only a glimpse of greater dangers. The SSG organization, a sinister force with eyes on Tessa and Adrian, is joined by an even darker figure: Ikehara, the shadow of the sun god, and a loyal follower of Rhemon, a devil with a grudge against Solaris the true sun god, whose plans threaten the survival of the Kaelrians loyal to Solaris and Lunara (moon goddess). In the midst of a high-stakes escape from SSG, Tessa and Adrian encounter the mysterious Rhemonic people. The Rhemonics, regarding Tessa as the successor to their moon goddess, worship her, forging a powerful alliance. This new found bond brings new challenges, including a dangerous quest to gather ingredients to awaken the Rhemonic people from their limited lands and blocked memories, a curse wrought by Rhemon—a devilish force once thought to be their salvation. As Rhemon rises, threatening to control both Kaelrians and Rhemonics alike, Tessa and Adrian’s mission becomes a race against time. Along the way, Tessa uncovers her heritage as the daughter of Lunara, the moon goddess, and Solaris, the sun god. Adrian, the son of Solaris and a maid, shares a complex, divine bond with Tessa, yet both are haunted by the legacies they inherit. Amidst this conflict, Ashley Duve, a woman who shares the bed and secrets with Rhemon, fools Tessa into believing she was the moon goddess, and she entered her conscious thought, gradually eroding it away while she appears helpful and wise and seemingly innocent, Ashley’s actions soon reveal her true agenda. She uses her powers to impersonate the moon goddess, taking over Tessa’s body, manipulating events to help Ikehara gather the ingredients needed to awaken Rhemon. As Ashley’s allegiance becomes clear, Tessa and Adrian realize they cannot trust anyone, not even those closest to them. Against overwhelming threats, Tessa and Adrian must fight not only to protect each other but also to save their world. Grappling with questions of identity, loyalty, and love, their journey unfolds across various chapters of betrayal, alliances, and epic confrontations with cosmic powers. Only by unlocking the potential within themselves can Tessa and Adrian hope to survive this battle, protecting the very essence of their people and the world.
