And My Name Is

=== WSA 2025 === Way before I was even born, my world was invaded. Actually, not just my world, my entire damn universe was overrun by another, led by a single race that called themselves the Eternals. And they were prepared. Very prepared. Every life we lost in the war against them was used by them. They didn’t just kill people, they captured their souls, forged them into Phantoms, and used the souls to twist beasts into Abominations. Our dead became their army. Three hundred years later, I was born. A guy with way too much energy. Sitting still? Impossible. Taking it slow? Not happening. I was always moving, always ready to burst into action. Then I awakened, and got a talent too. My Talent's Name Was Generator. Because of it I never ran out of energy. Ever. My muscles? Supercharged. My healing? Faster. My stamina? Please, I had no idea what being tired even felt like. So if the universe wanted to throw an endless war at me? Fine. I’d throw everything I had right back. I wasn’t born a hero. Never wanted to be one. But this war? It wasn’t just my universe’s fight anymore. It was mine. The Eternals made sure of that when they took my parents' souls.

In a quiet European town, Arthur runs a small, peaceful bookstore. To the world, he is a mild-mannered man with weak eyes and a gentle smile. But twelve years ago, a war began — one that killed thousands and ended without a known cause. Now, the names are forgotten. The files are gone. But under fading chalk marks, and behind half-burned histories, the truth still watches. And Arthur… …was never his first name. Why read? A calm story hiding sharp secrets. Every page is a whisper from a buried life.

Choosing death after a fruitless final struggle, ignorant of even his own name, the child survived by the grace of his only friend who lives deep within him. Soon his eyes are opened to a world of magic, crime, and information as he refuses to play the hand he was dealt. And without a name of his own, he decides to have one of his choosing. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

He was the feral Alpha King buried beneath the mountain. She was the cursed girl they offered to him as sacrifice to end the famine plaguing their lands. ...but what sleeps beneath the mountain is no myth. Ruvan, the first Alpha. Imprisoned, driven to utter madness, and starved of power. Solenne, the packless she-wolf known as the Harbinger of Misfortune. With the power of cursed speech, she is able to kill and bend the world to her will with only one word. To avoid hurting others, she hasn't spoken a single syllable since she was a child. Feared and rejected by her own people, she is given to the mountain in a forbidden ritual-sacrifice... and her scent stirs the beast that slumbers beneath it. His mate. Ruvan will stop at nothing to claim what's his, even if that means storming the heavens and finding the cure to her curse just to hear her speak his name. ---- She saw stars behind her eyes and felt constellations carved into her skin with every lingering touch and each press of his mouth. He painted the night sky onto her body, not with a brush, but with his lips, hands, and his insatiable hunger—until her lungs were empty and her heart soared so high it must’ve kissed the moon. “Solenne,” Ruvan murmured, voice low and reverent, like a prayer. She shivered; the sound of her name on his lips felt like heaven. Ruvan pressed his palm to her stomach, anchoring her as he leaned in, mouth brushing the hollow of her throat. His hand rose, slow and shaking, tracing the shape of her jaw like it was a sight made only for him. His thumb brushed the corner of her mouth and his eyes burned as he studied her. “You feel like the stars,” he whispered, “Mesmerizing and bright... something that I want to capture and keep to myself." And then he kissed her; it was a deep, aching vow he couldn’t speak aloud. A promise made only in breath, heat, and need. When they parted, he gently pressed his forehead against hers. His voice dipped lower… uncertain, maybe even afraid: “Say my name?” -- R18, werewolves, fated love, weak to strong... I hope you enjoy my second entry for 2025 WSA. :) give it a shot~

# ROYALTY # DECISIVE KILLING # 1V1 #LITTLE WOLF # PRETENDTOBEAFOOL #BIGSHOT In her previous life, Lu Qingqiao was a legend in the business world. But she was deceived, slandered, and died tragically, while hundreds of millions worth of her assets were taken from her. When she was reborn, she got together with a sickly boyfriend, drew a line with her scumbag fiance, and kicked out her cousins and their family who had ruthless ambitions. Everyone thought she had lost her mind because of her boyfriend, and they waited for her to wake up and toss him aside. However, they didn’t get to see that even after waiting so long. Instead, they were treated to various displays of affection. Up until one day, when someone told her boyfriend that he wasn’t worthy to stand beside Lu Qingqiao because he had nothing but a pretty face. He sneered and decided to stop pretending to be a good boy!***Among the wealthy families in the capital, everyone knew the richest family was the Qin family. They heard that the current Qin family’s head was sickly, frail, had a perverse and tyrannical character, and had a formidable appearance. Now, the mysterious Qin family head, who was recovering from his illness, had finally returned to the capital. Everyone looked forward to the banquet, and they saw a familiar handsome man with a cold gaze.“Hello, everyone. We meet again.”Everyone was shocked and fearful! They trembled and muttered to themselves, “One really can't trust rumors!”***The male lead, Qin Xun: Everyone thinks Qin Xun is after Lu Qingqiao’s wealth. Only he knows that it started with candy, a rose, a round of fireworks… as his heart was slowly moved. When he met Lu Qingqiao, he sank willingly into these feelings. The female lead, Lu Qingqiao: When she first met Mr. Qin, she thought he was a young, clingy boy. But it turned out that he was a little puppy during the day, and a big bad wolf at night!

Who says you can't love someone while also feeling hate? Who says a person’s name must be tied to their family? Who says love has to come easily? Who says you should always rely on your family? Who says who is bad and who is good in this world? Who says your voice can't bring pleasure to others? Who says friends are just friends? Who says a broken promise can't be fixed over time? Who says your closest friend always puts you first? Who says a dream can't turn into a nightmare? Who says the best strategy can’t backfire? Who says a ring is just an accessory? Who says you can't love someone so deeply that you'd sacrifice everything for them, even yourself…? Who says legal mafias don't exist anymore? No one can tell you what’s right or wrong...

The native planet where a multitude of people suffering from the consequences of overpopulation and forceful servitude on Earth migrated to Crystallia via gravitational slipstream between planets. It was believed that such a feat was impossible and that a normal human being would not be able to survive such an ordeal, but then one of the most unpredictable physical phenomena in the universe besides the power of God was gravity. The galaxy collision occurred during the era of the slave trade when the supersized galaxy known as Redromida collided with the Milky Way. Naturally, none of the elements touched as the scientists had suggested, but there were phenomenons that they failed to predict. One such occurrence was the impact of the planet Crystallia disturbing the orbit of the Earth. The result of such a proximity between Crystallia, which happened to be as large as the planet Jupiter and Earth was astronomical. The resulting earthquakes and disasters shattered the very concept of living for man, and then the gravitational pathways between the planets, which lasted for more than 2 and a half years, were established. The migration began after several who had made the journey by accident had returned with glad tidings of fertile land, greener pastures, and a safe heaven from the power of the Aro and other European slave traders. The migration lasted until the gravitational slipstream ended; by then, the slave traders had discovered the path, but by the time they made plans to pursue the merchandise, the gravitational link between Earth and Crystallia had come to an end. The majority of people who made the journey were from parts of West Africa, the central parts of Asia, the Red Indians of North America and a few from the northern parts of South America. They had barely settled into their new home when the planets natural immune system was triggered, the Ẹbọras emerged intending to end the branch of humanity that had the gall to make this planet their home. The struggle for survival began; man was able to harness the crystal mined from the planet to forge an energy source, they were able to till the land to produce food, and they built large walls to shelter themselves from the Ẹbọra. As man thrived, man also adapted to this new planet; exposure to this new crystal energy and air, which was not oxygen but breathable, caused a change in man’s biological constitution. The next generation had Evolved into something else. Thus, the story begins. Adewale was killed on the streets of modern-day Lagos in the country called Nigeria; for some reason, God decided that Adewale didn’t deserve death and reincarnated him in this new world called Crystallia. He is forced to grow up quickly because of the sad state of the society he was born into, a society where the rich prey upon the poor using them as stepping stones in achieving their selfish ambitions. As a child, Adewale was forcefully recruited into the military force of the Lagos Shelter, where he was forced to use his useless ability to pave a path towards success. Through the hardship of this world, he managed to gather trusted allies and embarked on a quest of his own to take control of the Lagos shelter and end corruption. What he didn’t count on was the fact that the heart of the greedy thinks only of staying the hunger of their greed and that greed will lead to war, savagery and destruction. Thus the exciting story of Adewale begins, with his closest companion that named itself Symbiot.

When he meets Siegfried, a warrior bound by fate and trapped within the sword, Tobias unknowingly awakens a legend lost to time. Siegfried reveals that he was once part of the Ten Nameless Oaths, an elite guild forged during the Great Age of Ash, when monstrous Fiends first emerged from the Rift at the heart of the Casderia Waters.

Was this his punishment for failing to protect his king? And if the world has forgotten The Ten Nameless Oaths… what else has been lost to history?
