Joaqin, the eldest son of the Ziviel Kingdom’s ruler, was destined for greatness as the next legendary Beast Tamer—or so everyone believed. But reality painted a cruel picture. His strength fell far below the average Beast Tamer, and whispers of disappointment followed him everywhere, even in his own heart. Despised by his siblings, criticized by his father, and burdened by impossible expectations, Joaqin’s life was a constant reminder of his failures. His only solace came when he made a desperate choice: to leave the palace and escape the suffocating weight of his role. But destiny had other plans. As Joaqin walked away, the Ziviel Kingdom fell under a devastating attack by a mysterious group wielding dark powers. When Joaqin returned, his home was in ruins. The once-mighty kingdom lay in ashes, its proud people slaughtered, and his family... gone. Among the wreckage, Joaqin discovered a single spark of hope. His dying mother, hidden in a sacred chamber, entrusted him with a strange egg—massive and radiating an ancient energy. Her final words were clear: protect it at all costs. Now, with the fall of the Ziviel Kingdom and the rise of a dark, unfathomable evil, Joaqin stands at a crossroads. Will he embrace the strength buried deep within, unlock the secrets of the egg, and rise as the hero the world so desperately needs? Or will darkness consume all that remains? The fate of the world rests on Joaqin’s choices—and the sacred power waiting to awaken.

We were a peaceful people living in harmony with nature in the vast lands of Lyréanor, but this peace was short-lived when our people were defeated by the dark elves, an ancient people even older than this world. It is said that they arrived in Lyréanor by boat and since their arrival, chaos has been unleashed. Proud of their obscure power, derived from dark rituals, they have raised gigantic armies of monsters whose name is synonymous with terror: ‘Obscurus’. They went on the rampage, and everywhere they went the grass didn't grow back, life died and disintegrated. Seven, there were seven. The seven dark elves known as the Lords of the Apocalypse. A single gesture from them was enough to strike us all down, a single gesture from one of them was enough to decimate us in blood and terror. And as I, Foster, contemplate the macabre scene before me, the bloodied and deformed bodies of my fellow elfes beings, and as death grips my soul, a strange sign appeared before me. [Ding...

In a realm where humanity’s survival hinges on taming the primordial beasts that rule land, sea, and sky, ten-year-old Kai is branded a failure after bonding with a pitiful Rock Sparrow—a creature synonymous with weakness. But when Kai awakens a forbidden gift, **Beast Insight**, he uncovers the truth: even the lowliest beasts harbor mythic potential. Armed with the ability to see evolution paths invisible to others, Kai embarks on a perilous quest to transform his sparrow into a legendary Skyfeather Roc. Yet the materials he needs lie in the deadliest corners of the world: Stormheart Crystals guarded by tempests, Phoenix Down plucked from ashes of rebirth, and Essence of Gale siphoned from the lungs of hurricanes. Along the way, he forges bonds with misfit beasts discarded by society—a scarred Azure Wolf, a flame-drained Salamander, and a tree spirit cursed with rot—each hiding secrets only Kai can unlock. But power attracts envy. Ruthless Tamers, greedy nobles, and ancient beasts who resent humanity’s arrogance conspire to crush him. As Kai defies the limits of what a Tamer can achieve, he unravels a darker truth: the line between “tamer” and “beast” is thinner than anyone dares admit. And the gods who forged these bonds are watching… ***Tame or be tamed?*** In this epic saga of growth, betrayal, and soaring ambition, Kai will rewrite the laws of evolution—or become another cautionary tale in humanity’s fragile reign. --- **Tagline:** *"Weakness is an illusion. Every beast—and every soul—has a path to godhood."*

Omegaverse meets Werewolf-verse In a world full of werewolves, where the strongest had it all, Valentin is part of the minority that was mostly looked down on: the Omegas. Only the simplest and dirtiest jobs would they get; their beauty frowned upon: their whole existence, neither a man nor a woman, considered something grotesque. His job: janitor of a high school; his one-room apartment: full of cockroaches: his friends: what friends? His lover: non-existent, no woman would ever take an Omega. His trivial life, however, changed when one of the former most popular students followed him home after lingering at the school without friends and girls sourrounding him. Who would have thought? He turned out to be a fellow sufferer, whose life was destroyed by the news he had received and the low existence he turned out to be. Two men wanting nothing more than to remain exactly what they had thought to be: two men. Yet, a grotesque love blossomed between two grotesque existences, turning everything that was taken from them into nothing more than triviality.

Desperation is the failure of triumph, the journey of one marked by defeat, the haunting shadow of time misused and opportunities left to decay. Has the time for desperation slipped away, or is it always near? Was my yearning a flaw, or a truth I couldn’t deny? ••• He thought death had taken him. Yet, he found himself breathing, in a place that wasn’t his. He had barely finished the first volume, but what use was it without the chance to use it? He barely knew himself or his surroundings—how could he survive in a world fated to end? Not every tale is one of victory. But does it truly matter? “.....” “.....” •••

"You see, my bride and I have somewhere to be."
