In a dystopian future, where the world is starkly divided between the high-tech enclaves for the 'Elites' and sprawling, impoverished slums for the marginalized masses; Rico, a mere 'slumdog,' hits the jackpot — getting selected to become a 'stellar traveler,' an opportunity that will give him a chance to escape from the abominable environment and tap into the world of luxury and comfort. But unbeknownst to him, a sinister conspiracy had already been woven for the past two decades, hiding a devastating truth from the public eye — the sun was dying, and finding a new home for humanity became a matter of existential urgency. The plan was simple — "Evacuate the Elites and let the dirty poor 'wretches' perish with the planet itself." Thus, Rico's journey starts; blissfully unaware that his fate is about to take a dramatic turn, one that'll change him completely! It'll test his patience and perseverance, push him beyond his capability, question his knowledge of reality, and turn his life upside down. But, at what cost? ***** Welcome, my fellow readers!

What would you do if you were to wake up one day to hear this voice? 'Form a contract with me, and I shall grant you power beyond your wildest imagination!' 'Form a contract, and you shall become the strongest!' Kieran Stormrider is a person with a curse. On his tenth birthday marking the beginning of his journey as a wizard, he awakens his innate ability that connects him to the underworld, and nearly wipes out his entire village. His power led to him being ostracized by his community. The world has changed, and magic rules humanity empowering major personalities all across the globe. Misuse of magic powers and the war between man and the alien species known as the Shale. Using the power of magic, the war between both races had arrived at a stalemate. It was only meant to be an isolated incident, he was never meant to loose control again, but one day as he was home alone, the power of the voice overcame his senses.

When they tell you that history repeats itself, you should at least expect some details to change. But no, in our case, things went exactly as they did the first time: a crack in the sky, a couple of monsters a bit taller than usual, and a myriad of people who, for some reason, were surprised. Because who, honestly, wouldn't have bet on a good demon invasion every few hundred years? Although, to be fair, this time the causes are much clearer. Man always finds new ways to destroy himself. If the first time the solution came in the form of a shy librarian who unknowingly found the key to stopping the end of the world, this time it came in the form of a weak and hungry boy, who would have preferred to destroy it rather than save it. Let me ask you a question: who said that magic was reserved for muscular and dramatic warriors? No, my friends, true salvation, this time, doesn't come from paper, scrolls, and the patience of a genius, but from hunger, fear, and the will not to give up on your fate.

In this city shrouded in darkness, even the moonlight cannot dispel the secrets hidden in the shadows. Jack was once an ordinary man—until one day, he woke up to find his memories missing and his hands stained with blood. His nightmares grew more vivid, the growls of a beast echoing in his ears, and his body began to change. Meanwhile, a ruthless and mysterious organization of werewolf hunters is closing in, as if they have long been aware of Jack’s existence. And Aisha, the woman entangled with him in a web of secrets, seems to be hiding something unspeakable as well. Is he the hunter or the hunted? A man or a monster? Caught between truth and bloodshed, reason and instinct, Jack must uncover the answers before it’s too late. When moonlight shines upon the abyss, the true horror is only beginning…

In a world where every person is born with a spirit insect granting them unique powers, everyone is bound by the laws of fate and power rankings. From rank D to S, all strive to reach the top. But hidden beyond common knowledge lie the secret rankings—SS and SSS—where those who possess them do not follow the rules; they become the rule itself. Raine Earthon was born in a poor village deep within the forests, an outcast, weak, and without a visible spirit insect. He lived in disgrace, beaten and humiliated—until the day everything changed. In a single moment, the Black Butterfly awakened, an SS-ranked insect with a power beyond imagination—the ability to control fate itself. But this was no gift… it was a curse. When fate knocked on his door once more, it led him to the slaughter… to the massacre… to an eternal damnation. Drenched in blood, surrounded by the torn remains of his village, something new was born within Raine—something devoid of mercy. And when the secret organization stood before him, seeking to control him, his response was simple: rejection of the entire world. From that moment, the era of chaos began. Raine was no longer human, no longer just an insect wielder—he became a living catastrophe. Armies would perish, empires would crumble, and fate itself… would either bow to him or be torn apart. In the end, nothing would remain… except the abyss.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

A promise. A fruit born from the sacrifice of his own lightbringers, was the one and only thing that stood between him and a fate that he knew not.

Witness a new creation, a burning ray of light birthed from "cruelty and darkness". Might have some corrections here and there for more coherence but I do hope you enjoy.

When the earth split open and nightmares crawled out, humanity had only one choice—fight or die. A special task force was created, warriors chosen by lottery to battle the monsters that threatened to consume the world. But fate is cruel, and so is family. Lyria Vance was never meant to be a soldier. The lot had fallen on her twin sister, but their parents, blinded by favoritism, forced Lyria to take her place. They sent her to die in her sister’s stead, casting her into a war she never asked for. Her first mission was an execution disguised as duty—an S-Class hunt for a creature so powerful, it erased her entire team in seconds. The world believed she perished that day. They were wrong. Lyria returned from the abyss, but she was no longer the girl they sacrificed. Shadows clung to her like a second skin. And she was not alone. By her side stood a monster—a being of unspeakable power, one that should have torn her apart. Instead, he kneels. He speaks her name like a vow. He claims her as his bride. The world sees him as a threat. They see her as something worse. But Lyria is done seeking their approval. Because the true danger isn’t the monster at her side—it’s the war she’s about to unleash. Let them call her cursed. Let them call her damned. She has already chosen her side. And the abyss? It belongs to her now.

I was never afraid of death. But I was afraid of dying butt naked. I’ve long accepted that everyone meets the same end, no matter the cause—cancer, a tragic accident, or even something absurd like slipping on a banana peel and cracking their skull open. Some choose to take their own lives, yet I wonder… in their final moments, did they whisper, I want to live? My mother did. Before she tried to take me with her. My father, consumed by guilt, went insane. A month later, he decided to follow her, holding my hand as he drove us off a cliff with a broken brake. In that instant, only one thought filled my mind: I want to live. The heavens heard me. I survived—but lived in hell. After years of struggling, I finally bought a house, determined to start over. I wanted to kiss many women, make myself rich, and retire like a lazy bum. A perfect life. I almost had it. Until the water stopped running in the shower. When I checked the sink, my reflection didn’t follow my movements. It just… stared. Then, its head twisted at an unnatural angle, a devilish grin splitting its face. A chill crawled down my spine. Black, viscous liquid seeped from the walls, flooding the floor. It wasn’t water. It was thick. Heavy. Suffocating. And then, my reflection stepped out of the mirror. Its cold hands closed around my throat, its grip unrelenting. I gasped, clawing at it, but the dark liquid filled my lungs, drowning me. My body convulsed as the thing laughed—a sound that echoed through the abyss consuming me. As darkness swallowed me whole, one final thought crossed my mind: I want to live. A voice answered. "Wake up, Abyss." And when I opened my eyes, I was no longer me. I was Dravino Alderidge, son of the war hero. A character in a novel I had read before my death.
