Dark Is Rising Series

Gary was just working as a waiter when suddenly, he met upperclassmen and suddenly his life changed. The start of his journey begins here, in Awakening. Hope you enjoy :)

Eighteen-year-old Justin Chua thought his biggest challenge would be surviving freshman year at Westmont University. Instead, he finds himself caught between two worlds—one where his mixed heritage makes him an outcast, and another where ancient forces beyond human comprehension are stirring to life. After countless rejections from part-time jobs and feeling increasingly isolated on campus, Justin's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Lyra, a mysterious girl whose otherworldly beauty seems to defy natural laws. When she offers him a peculiar elixir that promises to change everything about his appearance, Justin must decide whether to trust this enigmatic stranger or continue living in the shadows of society's prejudices. But transformation comes with a price, and Justin soon discovers that his new appearance is merely the beginning of a much larger mystery. As he navigates his altered reality, he uncovers a hidden world of ancient magic, secret societies, and supernatural beings who have been manipulating human affairs for centuries. The elixir hasn't just changed how he looks—it's awakened something dormant within him, something that others will kill to possess or destroy. With each passing day, Justin finds himself drawn deeper into a web of conspiracy and danger. Strange abilities begin to manifest, shadowy figures watch his every move, and he realizes that Lyra's gift may have marked him as either humanity's greatest hope or its ultimate downfall. As dark forces converge on the university town, Marcus must learn to harness his newfound powers while uncovering the truth about his own heritage and the role he's destined to play in an ancient war that's about to spill into the modern world. In a tale that weaves together themes of identity, transformation, and the price of power, "Metamorphic Shadows Rising" follows Justin's journey from an overlooked outcast to a key player in a supernatural conflict that will determine the fate of both the human and magical realms.

In a world where power chooses the worthy and fate burns like a brand, only those who forge their own path can rise above destiny. Jin Kazematsu was born ordinary in a world where strength defines status and cultivation is the only shield against oblivion. In an age where Élantera—the primordial force that shapes life, spirit, and matter—governs the elite, Jin holds no heritage, no powerful clan name, and no visible talent. Yet destiny doesn’t ignore him. Branded by a mysterious sigil resembling a coiling dragon and burdened by dreams of flame and thunder, he steps into Dragon-Phoenix Academy, a sacred crucible where cultivators rise, fall, or vanish into legend. But Jin’s path is no ordinary one. When ancient relics test each cadet to reveal their destined cultivation path, he shatters tradition by resonating with all four—Pattern, Spirit, Body, and Glyph—awakening an emerald spear forged from his very will. As whispers of convergence stir among Elders and powers beyond the academy take interest, Jin finds himself at the heart of a mystery long buried—one that threatens to upend the very order of the cultivation world. As classmates become rivals, friendships blossom into complex bonds, and romance blooms beneath the weight of expectation, Jin must rise not just to survive—but to become the one who rekindles a forgotten legacy. A legacy tied to ancient dragons, buried bloodlines, and a war that never truly ended. In a world of trials, tribulations, and awakening flames... can one boy become the ember that sparks a new era?

And so, he decides to stay and do what he has always loved to do in video games, explore and discover. To embark on an epic adventure. Or maybe he was simply scared in the early stages of the game. This is a deadly game after all, one in which millions are trapped.
