In a not-so-distant future, Earth is thrown into chaos by a weird alien ship that crashes and starts leaking spiritual energy all over the place. This energy messes with the planet’s ecosystem, making everything mutate—animals, plants, even people. It’s like nature’s gone wild, with some folks getting crazy supernatural powers while others struggle to survive against mutated creatures and power-hungry groups trying to take control. In the middle of all this craziness, Amira Hailen—a tough-as-nails ex-special forces assassin with a complicated past—gets a second shot at life. Thanks to a mysterious ally’s Mental Transference powers, she’s sent back in time, waking up with the ability to control ice. Determined to keep humanity afloat, she gathers her old crew and turns them into a reliable team amid all the chaos. Meanwhile, Aiden Emberstorm—a fiery elite operative—gets fed up with the government’s weak response to the crisis. With his own fire powers blazing, he ditches the bureaucracy and teams up with his battalion to protect innocent lives. He becomes a symbol of resistance, taking on mutated beasts and rogue factions while trying to restore some order. When Amira and Aiden cross paths, it’s not exactly love at first sight. Their icy and fiery personalities clash, but they can’t deny the need to join forces. They both want the same thing: a sanctuary where survivors can be safe. So, they decide to work together, hatching a plan to take down the alien ship before it can call in reinforcements for a full-scale invasion. Amid epic battles, unexpected alliances, and a budding romance, Amira and Aiden must face both their inner demons and the alien threat. It’s a fight for survival in a world that’s gone wild, with everything at stake—including their own hearts.

A mage on death's door, drowning in a sea of regret - that was Darian, a man who chased power only to find it a cruel mistress. He traded his health for fleeting strength, a bargain that led him to a lonely end in a dingy apartment. But as the darkness claimed him, something shifted. He awakens to a scent that shouldn't exist - his mother's baking - and a sight even more impossible: her, alive and young. Is this a twisted afterlife, mocking him with what he lost? Or could this be a second chance, a rewind on a life gone wrong? But why him? And if it is real... what will he change, and at what cost?

Once a Villager is a captivating tale of transformation, resilience, and self-discovery. It follows the journey of a young boy, born and raised in a remote, vibrant village, where traditions and community define life. With dreams larger than the horizon, he ventures into the city to seek education and opportunities. As he navigates the challenges of urban life—discrimination, loneliness, and the struggle to adapt—he finds himself caught between two worlds: the simplicity of his roots and the complexity of his newfound reality. Along the way, he discovers the true meaning of identity, success, and belonging. This story is a celebration of culture, a critique of societal divides, and an inspiring reminder that where we come from shapes, but does not limit, who we can become.

Gallagar has always been a thief, a liar, and a man who takes what he wants—until the night he steals something that changes his destiny. In a botched heist gone deadly, Gallagar unwittingly kills a nobleman, only to discover the stolen jewel marks the bearer as the Electus: the Chosen One destined to save all the kingdoms in the realm. Seizing the opportunity for wealth and fame, Gallagar assumes the role of hero, fooling the king and even most of the Avangardians, the realm’s elite soldiers, into believing he is the saviour they’ve waited for. But when dark forces rise from the hellscapes and a rift threatens to consume all life, Gallagar is sent on a perilous journey to seal the rift—a task only the true Electus could accomplish. As abominations close in and his companions place their faith in him, Gallagar must rely on his cunning as a thief and his skills as a mercenary to conceal his secret. Can he survive the deception long enough to save himself, or will the weight of a destiny he never wanted be the world's doing? In a land where light and shadow collide, the fate of all rests in the hands of a fraud.
