Nightcall Reverie

-WSA 2025 Entry- Noah died of cancer; the last thing he left to Leo was a game he made. A last will. That's the only thing Leo could remember before he ended up here; he can't seem to recall anything else. He knew of his name but not his family; he knew some minor details but not the full picture. His past is full of holes, and to make things worse, he is in the body of a noble teenager named Elio V. Astrea. *** I know nothing about the story. I know nothing about the character. And I definitely know nothing about the game. Everything about this world is new to me… But at the same time, for some reason, everything felt… familiar? __ Schedule: Everyday at 10PM UTC+8

She told me not to save her. Said we both already knew how it would end. With the two of us dead. Instead, she asked me to live... Enough for the both of us. But I couldn’t. Because if I couldn’t protect the people I loved, then what was I for? In a world that has forgotten its gods, Dio wants only one thing: to protect Anya, the girl who makes his broken world feel whole. When Anya is Marked by the Reverie, a realm of dreams and divine trials, Dio follows without hesitation. What begins as an act of love soon becomes something far stranger: a descent through mirrors, memory, and impossible truths. Because the Reverie doesn’t give power. It reveals it. And guiding the threads from behind the veil is the man with mismatched eyes and a golden ring. He remembers the age before the gods fell. He remembers what it cost. And he believes Dio may be the key to something greater… or the spark that ends it all. To love. To lie. To become divine. The trials are beginning. The age of stagnation is ending. And someone has to choose what comes next.

However, they must do this without letting anyone on Earth catch a glimpse of their mission. Will they succeed, or succumb to defeat? --------

What if your nightmares weren’t just dreams—but doorways? Ethan Valen was an ordinary student—until the night his sister vanished without a trace. No signs. No witnesses. Only one thing left behind: her cryptic sketches of impossible places, spirals, and creatures that defy logic. When Ethan awakens a strange power within himself—threads that twist thought into reality—he discovers the Dreamrift, a hidden world stitched into the seams of our own. A realm of forgotten memories, nightmare entities, and ancient secrets where reality and dreams bleed into one another. Haunted by guilt, hunted by twisted dreamspawn, and marked by a figure known only as Lucien, Ethan is forced to walk a spiraling path into deeper and more dangerous layers of the Rift. Guided by a broken mentor and a reluctant guardian, Ethan must master his evolving powers—constructs born of emotion, memory, and will—to survive the trials ahead. But the deeper he delves, the more he uncovers a devastating truth: his sister may still be alive, her soul bound to the very spiral threatening to devour all of existence. And the Dreamrift is watching.

"My name is Isolde von Adalbrecht... or is it? I can’t quite remember." Once a barefoot country girl named Liesel Maren, she was plucked from obscurity and renamed, her past erased, her voice softened, her will reshaped. Groomed by the mysterious and cruel Archduke Otto von Adalbrecht under the watchful eye of his kind sister Elsa, Isolde is thrust into the shadowy world of noble politics, court masks, and dangerous secrets. But her quiet life as a duchess shatters after the Crimson Veil Massacre, a bloodstained wedding that leaves five noble children orphaned and Isolde as their legal guardian. Her appointment as head of House von Adalbrecht sparks outrage among the aristocracy, whispers from the Church, and veiled threats from the royal court. The children, heirs to a great fortune and legacy, resent her, viewing her as a usurper in silks. Surrounded by spies, manipulated by the Empress, and shadowed by The Order, a faceless elite faction answering only to the Crown. Isolde must survive a court built on secrets, lies, and the ever-present gaze of the obsessive Crown Prince Hadrian. Amidst it all, Baron Étienne Montclair stands by her side, offering subtle loyalty and an unspoken love she cannot return. But Isolde never wanted power. She only ever wanted peace. And yet, to protect the children she never bore but came to love, she must play the part of the perfect noblewoman, until the day she can quietly leave it all behind. As her past begins to claw its way back, and as the eldest child, Friedrich, comes of age, Isolde faces a final choice: reclaim her identity and freedom… or be consumed by the very title that once saved her.

She was made of stitched silence. And once-not for once-a man's hollow voice never left his shadow. Arora Emersyn-believes her nightmares are fiction. But fiction doesn't leave bruises in your soul. Ranyald Alsrio-is no savior. He lives in the cracks of the world; where monsters wear ties and justice isn't legal. And fate, cruel and exact brings her into his world. Fragile, forgotten still stained in ways she can't see. She was his unfinished chapter. He was her buried truth. In a love laced with secrets, sins, and second chances, will their reverie remain a dream-or bloom into something far more dangerous?

Hi, I am the author of Reverie: Soulbound. I write all my content myself, but I use AI-assisted grammar tools to polish my chapters and give them better flow and fluency as my English is not that great for book creation. All creative writing and story development is mine. Just want to clarify that upfront, as I’m passionate about maintaining the authenticity of my work.

Sometimes, God has chosen the right path for you, but you go against it... ~~ Isabel was a commoner living in the village of the kingdom of Valaraeth, a place where dragons roamed the skies, high and mighty. These untouchable heavenly beings could only be ridden by the royal family and nobles. "Is it not unfair?" she would muse, her pretty eyes shining with awe and enthusiasm whenever she saw a dragon flying over her village. She yearned to be with them, to touch them, and to ride across the beautiful world on their backs. Her dream came true when she discovered she was a royal—the youngest daughter of the King of Valaraeth. But every pretty dream came with a price, one she neglected to consider in her hopeful reverie. Taken to the palace, Isabel's life seemed perfect: beautiful dresses, elder royal siblings, and a loving queen mother. But the facade shattered when she learned the truth—their cruel and twisted personalities lay hidden beneath their beautiful masks. Every member of the royal family had a dragon bonded to them by blood in childhood. Her dragon was the youngest of the Emberstorm clan, an ancient lineage of fire dragons. Isabel was the first in a hundred centuries to be chosen by a fire dragon, sparking jealousy and hatred from everyone. ~~~ Excerpt: "I, Scorvius Drá Ashéncrest XII, Sovereign of Valaraeth, hereby sever all ties between the 6th Princess Isabel Drá Ashéncrest of Valaraeth and the esteemed lineage of Ashéncrest. Let it be known across our realm that she stands alone, stripped of her birthright, for she has committed an unforgivable sin—the slaying of her own dragon, the last dragon of the proud Emberstorm lineage." With solemn resolve, the king decreed her fate, yet Isabel remained unmoved. Her thoughts were consumed by the haunting memory of her dragon's final breath. She found herself thrust upon the platform of condemnation, judged in the unforgiving gaze of the assembled court, denied the chance to plead her case or offer explanation.
