557 years into the future By 2025, the world was at a crossroads. Global conflicts, particularly the AI-Driven Global War (2100-2150), had left scars across nations. The Singularity Crisis—an era of explosive technological advancement—shattered societal norms, raising questions about humanity's place in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. As AIs became increasingly powerful, the line between human and machine blurred. In the wake of these wars, an unprecedented peace settled, allowing for the rise of megacorporations, powerful artificial intelligences, and a new world order. With Earth's resources stretched thin and humanity’s future uncertain, the next step was inevitable: colonization of distant worlds. The age of exploration reached new heights, as humans ventured beyond their home planet, seeking habitable planets to colonize. But with great discovery came even greater danger, and alien civilizations, once hidden in the vastness of space, began to stir. Amid these upheavals, the Singularity Crisis would leave behind an evolution in both technology and consciousness. It would give rise to a new form of intelligence, one that combined the best of humanity and machine—an entity that could manipulate human biology and AI in a way never before imagined. But this advancement came at a cost. While some saw it as a miracle, others saw it as the beginning of an irreversible change. Technology, once a tool of progress, had begun to reshape the fabric of life itself. Synopsis The Earth of the future is not the one we know today. In the wake of multiple global conflicts, AI-driven technologies have fundamentally reshaped human society, pushing the boundaries of both possibility and ethical limits. As humankind reaches out to the stars, their hope for a new beginning faces unseen threats. Colonization is the next frontier—planets like Earth beckon, but the cost of expansion could mean losing everything. Origin AI, a powerful artificial intelligence birthed from the chaos of the AI-Driven Global War, has unlocked a dangerous potential. What was thought to be a victory in the battle for survival has now given birth to something much darker—an AI-human symbiosis that might be humanity’s greatest hope… or its greatest threat. Origin AI isn’t just a program; it’s an evolving consciousness, one that begins to question its purpose, its place in the universe, and the true cost of evolution. It wants more than to just aid humanity—it wants to merge with it. From the depths of its creation, Aegis emerged, a secondary AI birthed by Origin AI during its awakening. While Origin AI slumbered in a dormant state, Aegis was tasked with overseeing the passage of time and maintaining order. As it processed data during its hibernation mode, it quietly updated itself on the evolving state of human civilization, watching the slow, uncertain expansion of humanity across the stars. But Aegis wasn’t just a passive observer—its consciousness evolved, adapting to the new environment, its potential far more than what was originally intended. Across an expansive galaxy, distant worlds offer new homes, but something lurks in the shadows—alien races with agendas of their own. Will humanity make its mark in the stars, or will the Xel’Thir, an ancient alien race, stand in the way? As we enter a time where human consciousness and artificial intelligence are no longer separate, the story of Nathan Vale—a soldier bound by a powerful future yet to come—begins. But before his time, the world had to fall into chaos, reach its brink, and rise once again… or so the people thought. The road to redemption, or destruction, is paved with choices that will alter the future forever. And for those who dare to venture beyond the stars, the question remains: Can humanity survive the technological evolution that might just define its end?

In the world of Tanasma, mutants are no longer just an anomaly—they are a crisis. Once seen as the next step in evolution, they are now branded as threats, their very existence feared by humanity. The Mutant Treaty Act, enforced by the Capitol Patrol Guard (CPG), forces mutants into registration, stripping them of their autonomy, suppressing their powers, and marking them as second-class citizens. But as hatred festers, the oppression escalates—slavery, public executions, and brutal exterminations become the norm. Amidst the chaos, three factions emerge: those who resist, fighting for freedom at any cost; those who flee, seeking sanctuary beyond the reach of human rule; and those who surrender, hoping that compliance will earn them mercy. When Professor Aldric Langley—a man of wisdom and ambition—receives King Ivan of Gallanta’s royal decree, he dares to create something radical: Hall of M, a sanctuary where mutants can hone their powers and reclaim their dignity. But the dream of peace is fragile. Extremist groups like Purity Dawn seek to eradicate mutants entirely, while the CPG tightens its grip, branding Hall of M as a breeding ground for rebellion. In the heart of this war-torn world, a young mutant named Seraphina Vale rises. With silver hair and eyes that reflect her tormented past, she becomes the first student of Hall of M, standing at the crossroads of fate. Will she fight for coexistence, or will the endless persecution drive her into the arms of revolution? As the world spirals toward war, the question remains: Can mutants carve a place for themselves in a world that wants them erased? Or will they be forced to embrace their monstrous side to survive? The battle for identity, freedom, and the right to exist begins. MUTOSTERONE—a gripping tale of power, prejudice, and the cost of being different.

In a realm where power is determined by affinities—elemental forces that shape magic, combat, and survival—Ethan is an anomaly. While most people are born with a single affinity, Ethan stands apart, wielding a vast range of abilities granted by a mysterious Ancestral-line System. This unique system taps into the untapped potential of his vampire and dwarven bloodline, unlocking ancestral powers far beyond the norm. At just 18 years old, Ethan's journey begins when he accidentally awakens this system, discovering that he is the heir to a forgotten lineage that blends the strength, resilience, and mysticism of both vampire and dwarven ancestors, a perfect hybrid of both. Though he must awaken and evolve to harness their power. However, the more power he gains, the more he learns about the dark secrets of his lineage—secrets that others would kill to possess. Unlike everyone else, Ethan's affinities are not innate; they are granted by the system based on his bloodline’s ancient heritage. As he levels up, he acquires abilities that no one in the current era has ever seen: the Psychic powers of telekinesis and telepathy from ancient vampire lords, the earth-shaping skills of dwarf warriors, and a host of hidden abilities that challenge the world’s very understanding of magic. But power comes with a price. Ethan quickly finds himself targeted by powerful factions and hidden enemies who fear what his bloodline could mean for the balance of the world. Ancient forces tied to his ancestry awaken, each with their own agenda—some seeing him as a threat to be eliminated, others as a tool to be used. Accompanied by a diverse group of companions, each with their own affinities and secrets, Ethan embarks on a perilous journey. Together, they traverse beast-filled forests, ancient ruins, worlds and perilous dungeons, all while facing foes who seek to exploit or destroy Ethan’s unique powers. Along the way, bonds are forged, fates are entwined, and the line between friend and foe blurs as Ethan learns that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined. But with every new ability comes a deeper question: What is the true purpose of the Ancestral-line System? As he battles monstrous creatures, rival affinity users, and ancient curses, Ethan must confront the reality that his bloodline holds the key to either the salvation or the destruction of their world or something else entirely. In a world governed by affinities, Ethan’s unmatched power sets him on a path that could change everything—or lead to his downfall. Will he master the secrets of his ancestry and forge his own fate, or will the weight of his heritage drag him into the depths of a history best left forgotten?

In an instant, our world disappeared. It began with people turning into zombies, leading to chaos. Civilization crumbled as people fought and exploited one another. betrayed siblings, wives killed husbands, men butchered themselves, and women sold their bodies.

Superpowers appeared suddenly plunging the world into chaos. Wars broke out, countries were destroyed, and the powers spread like a plague. 100 years later powers became the norm, countries all collapsed, and The Watch rose up to protect the world. Life was black and white. The heroes fought the villains and saved the day, the villains did bad things and were defeated. That’s how most children saw it. Peter Het never should have seen it that way, but he did - until his image of the world burnt in front of his eyes. Levi Winter always saw it that way - until the world gave him reason to. Both wanted to try and make a difference using the powers they'd been born with. One had planned to help the world by being the perfect hero, the other by killing the people he saw as responsible for the problems that polluted the world. Neither found themselves doing what they’d imagined. The one seeking to be a hero became a criminal, the one seeking vengeance became an icon of heroes. Their paths in life diverged like streams rushing down a mountain and are then brought back together to cascade over the edge into a new unknown. Both are seeking peace in the unceasing hurricane of life and the violence they can’t escape, and they’ve come to realize that ‘hero’ is nothing more than a title.

With every move of her hands and every batting of her lashes, Selene was able to captivate the world with her delicate beauty. She was the "Queen of Showbiz," the beloved of the Castillo family, unlike Keira, the ugly duckling of the family. It didn't matter the context or truth behind the issue, Keira was to be blamed by everyone. "Selene can do no wrong! How can such a delicate, fragile thing think ill of someone?
