Sonic Ultra Instinct

In *Blood and Arcane*, the world of New Altera thrives on two primal forces: **Blood** and **Arcane**. Blood symbolizes the essence of life, tied to the powerful Monari and their descendants, the Monari-Kai. Through the infusion of Monari blood, humans can enhance their strength and abilities, creating **Blood Hunters**—warriors who possess the raw, primal power of Monari beasts. These Blood Hunters are humanity's protectors, defending them from the dangerous creatures that roam the land. However, the process is fraught with danger, as only a rare few possess the compatibility to withstand Monari blood without losing control to its savage instincts. **Arcane**, on the other hand, embodies the mystical gifts granted by the goddesses, such as elemental control, telekinesis, healing, and gravity manipulation. Those blessed with Arcane powers are marked by the Goddess Althara and must learn to wield their gifts with discipline and precision. Together, Blood and Arcane form the backbone of New Altera, where warriors, known as Blood Hunters, and gifted individuals face the challenges of a world teeming with legendary beasts, deadly magic, and ever-present danger. In this land, survival hinges on mastering the balance between raw physical might and the arcane forces that shape reality.

To oppress the weak. After all, what differentiates a hero from a tyrant? ... Ps: the cover is not mine, if you have any questions, just send me a message.

In a world bustling with superheroes, villains, aliens, and even monsters, where extraordinary powers are the norm, there lies a hidden village untouched by the chaos of the outside world. In this secluded haven, there lives a tight-knit community known as Elysium, a group of people who have come together to find their place in the world. Amidst this extraordinary village, a boy is born with a distinct ability that sets him apart from everyone else—and eyes that hold a never before seen power. Unlike most of his fellow villagers, his abilities are uncharted territory, a world beyond the comprehension of even the most experienced. He's the first of his kind, and he hates it. He is a prodigy, a genius, an anomaly. As a child, he struggles to fit in, surrounded by people who love him, but he doesn't understand that. Instead, he tries desperately to prove himself worthy. Yet, he can't seem to escape the feeling that something is wrong with him. Deep down, he knows something is weird with him, he has this nagging feeling, a gut instinct that he can't explain, telling him that he doesn't belong. He feels like an imposter, a pretender. He's an abomination. A freak. An unnatural being. —— Please note, I am new to writing. This was my best attempt at a synopsis, I've barely planned ahead, just a very vague outline.
