Vane Granblue

[WSA Entry 2025] Dark Escape By: Ipsitawrites "To escape one hell... she had to step into another." Ariadne was trained to kill — not to feel, trust, or dream. As an elite operative of the feared Black Vane organization, she lived in shadows, stole secrets, and left no witnesses. But when betrayal from within turns her world upside down, Ariadne makes the most dangerous move of all: she runs. Now hidden in plain sight, she assumes a new identity — a silent, obedient secretary at one of the nation’s top fashion empires. But freedom has its own chains. Under constant surveillance, burdened by secrets, and forced into one last mission, she’s ordered to infiltrate the CEO’s inner circle. Spy. Obey. Survive. Yet the deeper she sinks into this new life, the harder it becomes to separate masks from faces. The enigmatic CEO sees through her. Former allies return as threats. And haunting memories crack the walls she's built around herself. Because Ari never truly escaped. She only traded cages. In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is survival, can a former assassin carve out peace — or is her past simply waiting to finish the job?

“I loved the golden boy. The hero everyone worshipped. The one who promised to save the world.” But he didn’t save it. He destroyed it. When the world ended in flames, Elira Vane died knowing one truth: she had chosen the wrong man. Now she’s sixteen again—reborn in a time before everything collapsed.

This time… he’s watching her differently. Aeren Drican was once just the Hero’s friend. The forgotten shadow. The boy Elira never looked at twice. But in this timeline, he remembers. All of it. As fate loops and loyalties shift, Elira must navigate court politics, magic, and a love triangle that could destroy nations. Will she make the same mistake again? Or will she finally see the truth behind the smiles—and the silence? She has one last chance to choose right. But some heroes wear crowns… and others wear scars.

In this magic-suffused land, a girl had been forgotten by the world in a quiet corner. Clad in black, solitary as a weed pushing through stone cracks, she’d endured eighteen harsh winters and summers—lonely, stubborn, unseen. No one knew her true name.

Like lightning cleaving through a chaotic dream, it illuminated her path in an instant. Calm shattered—pursuit by black-clad figures erupted at the station, the gates of a prestigious magic academy swung open unexpectedly, and figures cloaked in secrets stepped into the dim light of her existence. From overlooked dust to the storm's eye… Her magic adventure was quietly beginning. "Take my mother's surname, Vane. So call me... Ellis Vane." The girl reached for the quill, its tip trailing shards of starlight in the twilight.

In the grim, industrial city of Ironhaven, Kael lives a quiet life sorting scrap, his true identity as the Absolute Origin, the architect of the universe, a fragmented memory. He possesses an unnerving calm and occasionally exhibits impossible feats of luck or subtle reality manipulation that draw the attention of a disgraced knight, Elara Vane, a cynical street rogue, Jax, and a cursed scholar, Seraphina Bellweather, who senses his profound, ancient power. As Kael’s divine abilities begin to surface more overtly, often in response to direct threats, he goes from an unknown commoner to a figure of awe, terror, and intense scrutiny. He effortlessly neutralizes Sump assassins like Silas Darkharrow and the even more formidable Wraith Hound, dismantles the machinations of the arrogant Master Alchemist Vorlag Krell, and in a cataclysmic display, annihilates an army of monstrous Skitter-Horrors that threaten the city, revealing a glimpse of his true, godlike power before vanishing into a subterranean Sanctum of Origin. His reappearance, now as a "consultant" in Seraphina's shop of magical curiosities, only deepens the mystery. Kael attempts to maintain a facade of detached normalcy, offering cryptic pronouncements and casually manipulating ancient artifacts while his companions (a burgeoning, unconventional group including Elara, Seraphina, and a reluctant Jax) try to understand his motives and the cosmic implications of his presence. Hunted by terrified city authorities like Commander Stern, observed by the now-cautious Sump, and drawing the attention of entities beyond Ironhaven, Kael's journey is one of rediscovering his own nature, the burden of his power, and the reason for his incarnation. Interwoven with epic displays of divine might, intensely choreographed battles, shocking reactions from onlookers, and moments of unexpected (often deadpan) comedy, the story explores themes of overwhelming power, cosmic mystery, fate, and the surprising emergence of human-like connections in an entity beyond mortal comprehension. Each confrontation pushes Kael further towards reclaiming his godhood, with the fate of Ironhaven, and potentially the multiverse, hanging in the balance. The narrative blends thrilling action and god-tier power displays with character-driven emotional arcs and a developing, unconventional harem dynamic.

In a world where power stems from within, every person awakens an Inner Realm, a mysterious dimension that passively spawns skills, weapons, and resources over time.

In a world choked by perpetual ash and crumbling ruins, Elias Thorne, a pragmatic historian, awakens in the frail body of Kaelen Vane, a reviled, branded necromancer. This isn't the Earth he knew; this is the Ashlands, a dying realm haunted by a forgotten catastrophe. But Kaelen's necromancy is unlike any legend. He doesn't raise mindless husks. Instead, he can sense soul fragments lingering in the dead. By painstakingly reassembling these shattered essences, he can temporarily restore the deceased, unlocking their memories, forgotten skills, and even their lost magic. Each "resurrection" is a living, breathing history lesson. Driven by a historian's insatiable curiosity and a primal need for survival, Kaelen soon discovers a horrifying truth: the Ashlands aren't dying naturally. They were shattered centuries ago by a cataclysmic invasion from beings utterly alien to this world. The common understanding of the past is a lie. Now, with a fragile command over his unique power and the spectral guidance of Ser Ulric, a resurrected ancient knight, Kaelen must delve deeper into the haunted ruins and forgotten battlefields. He is the last hope to piece together the true history of the Ashlands, not just for knowledge, but to find a way to escape its slow, agonizing death. But the past holds more than just answers; it harbors ancient, malevolent forces that do not sleep, and they are keenly aware of the young necromancer who dares to awaken the dead. Can Kaelen uncover the truth before the Ashlands consume him, or will he simply become another lost soul in a forgotten history?
