Supernatural powers that gave us a fighting chance. With these new abilities, we fought back, and for a while, it seemed like we were winning. Life slowly started to return to something that resembled normal. That is, until the Curses began. No one knows where they came from or why they started, but one thing was clear: they weren’t Gifts.

The small town of HeathCroft was well-known for its family of mysterious billionaires, the Zuris. Lauriel and James Zuri, the parents, were well-liked philanthropists who would visit an orphanage every few years and adopt a child to welcome into their family. All the children previously adopted by the Zuri's had something special about them-some talent or potential that made them deserving of a new home. The people of HeathCroft believed that the Zuris were doing a noble act by giving these children a chance to exercise their potential and let them be. However, when the newest arrival, Adrianne Zuri, joined the family, it raised a couple eyebrows. Adrianne Zuri went against all the invisible requirements the townspeople believed you needed to complete to become a Zuri. She was illiterate, didn't seem to have any creativity in her blood, and was overall as ordinary as one could be in a family of extraordinary individuals. What the HeathCroftian townspeople didn't know was that Adrianne was by far the most peculiar member of the entire Zuri family. ---- credits to @NoelleAnn397 for the cover

A false prophecy, a conspicuous birth, a sinister ritual and a wholehearted sacrifice. These were the elements that set the Cosmic Gears in motion of this world. It all relied on the variables, Lucien Alaric and Mikaela Howell. Having had a warm childhood was something they were always proud of, at least until they unveiled the illusion of this false happiness. Their moment of joy was apparently measured and limited. “The truth will be revealed to you when you awaken... Believe nothing but what you have witnessed and judged yourselves as the truth... Your enemies are closer than you think... Trust no one!” This were the words the children were left with. Their parents' dying words. Not words for children to live with, right? Clip sneak peek~! "What do you feel?" she asked. "Nothing..?" Mikaela responded, holding his sword tight at hand. In truth, to him, it was no different than cutting down a training puppets head. A tedious endeavor. "Good, you should spare no feeling to enemies, my child," a clear serene voice sounded, like the sweet whisper of the devil. In the air was the fishy rustic iron smell, the scent of human blood. Not just a splash of it but a mass graveyard pool of it. The heavy smell of death. Mikaela stood in the middle of this with calm eyes. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to have become deeper and richer. Lucien is born a mage while Mikaela is born a martial artist. They have distinctly opposing personalities and would rather stay away from each other, but destiny has other plans. They have to unite in the face of the upcoming trials of fate. One loss, spells death to both of them! No compromise! The sacrifice made to protect them drives them to face each day while vengeance motivates them to grow stronger. What kind of future shall they pave in the veil of uncertainty and hidden truth? While Lucien and Mikaela walk different paths, they ultimately have the same destination. The Apex!
