Then You Call My Name

I built my empire from silence. I wore my pain like diamonds. And just when the world clapped for my rise — Someone tried to end it. Now, with danger behind me and my rival beside me… This isn’t just success. It’s survival. "When the Sky Forgot My Name" — A tale of power, betrayal, and the scars no spotlight can hide.

Somewhere beneath the surface, beyond the cold water and the mist, something was calling me. Something I was meant to find. The kind of thing you only discover when you’re willing to lose everything. The rain carried a name I didn’t know yet — but soon, I would learn to say it.

=== WSA 2025 === Way before I was even born, my world was invaded. Actually, not just my world, my entire damn universe was overrun by another, led by a single race that called themselves the Eternals. And they were prepared. Very prepared. Every life we lost in the war against them was used by them. They didn’t just kill people, they captured their souls, forged them into Phantoms, and used the souls to twist beasts into Abominations. Our dead became their army. Three hundred years later, I was born. A guy with way too much energy. Sitting still? Impossible. Taking it slow? Not happening. I was always moving, always ready to burst into action. Then I awakened, and got a talent too. My Talent's Name Was Generator. Because of it I never ran out of energy. Ever. My muscles? Supercharged. My healing? Faster. My stamina? Please, I had no idea what being tired even felt like. So if the universe wanted to throw an endless war at me? Fine. I’d throw everything I had right back. I wasn’t born a hero. Never wanted to be one. But this war? It wasn’t just my universe’s fight anymore. It was mine. The Eternals made sure of that when they took my parents' souls.

**An emperor who refused to rule with blood. A prince who refused to love with restraint.** Elliott Lancaster, the gentle Emperor of a fractured empire, has spent his life avoiding war-and his father's attempts to force him into a political marriage. Instead, he adopted an orphaned noble boy, Aiden, raising him as both heir and unlikely companion. But their bond was never that of father and son. Aiden Lancaster, the perfect prince in court and a storm of violence on the battlefield, has waited years to prove himself. He is devoted to his adopted father- some might even say, too devoted. Still, up till now, he was restrained by Elliott's desire for peace, despite their enemies poking them again and again. But Aiden's patience had its limits- but this underhanded tactic was the straw which broke the camel's back. Now unrestrained, he wages a war so brutal it shocks the empire. When Elliott awakens to find borders redrawn in blood, he must confront the terrifying truth: the boy he raised has become a conqueror, and his devotion has twisted into something far more dangerous. As court factions' scheme and the temple condemns their unnatural bond, Elliott faces an impossible choice: maintain his morals and risk losing Aiden or embrace the ruthless love of the man who would burn the world to protect him.

"I lost my mother because of my devoted boyfriend of 6 years." She has been supporting her boyfriend Sung-joon, who is an aspiring actor and is just hanging around for 6 years. However, as time goes by, he changes from being kind and affectionate. Then, due to Sung-joon's complacency, Hae-young's mother gets into a serious accident. Hae-young goes to Sung-joon, who was flirting with his best friend Min-ji at the time, and confronts him. "Did I know your mother would do that? If you care so much, you should take care of your mother. Why is it my fault?" Instead of feeling sorry, Sung-joon breaks up with her. After the breakup, Sung-joon and Min-ji appear on the dating program as if they had been waiting for it. They become the center of attention on the show by talking about Hae-young, and eventually become very popular. Hae-young, who was frustrated after losing 6 years, her mother, and her love, accidentally goes back to the moment right before her mother got into an accident. "Mom, don't come! Stay still!" She takes this opportunity to save her mother and vows revenge on Sung-joon and Min-ji. Hae-young plans to secretly appear on the same program as them and get all the attention they both enjoyed. The problem is finding a male friend who fits the program's concept of "appearing with a friend." A very handsome and well-made male friend. At that time, the man she had coincidentally encountered on the day she prevented her mother's accident loomed over her. Yoon-hyuk unexpectedly accepted the ridiculous offer she made, thinking, "No way." "Isn't there anyone around you as handsome as me?" "No. Are you having trouble being objective? Looks like your's are rare." "Well, there might be. Maybe a friend you met when you were young, or someone who saved your life. Try to remember." Hae-young didn't realize it at the time. He was hinting that he had known Hae-young for a long time. The man who Hae-young had given all of her savings as a condition for his appearance was actually the fourth generation of a conglomerate. That's how Haeyoung and Yoonhyuk, Sungjun and Minji meet in "Friendship Romance" __________✧⁠⑅⁠˖⁠♡｡ﾟ∘⁠˚⁠˳⁠°↝⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^___________________ My other works: "I became the Beast Duke's wife" on transcendentaltls .com (ongoing) ~ "Cat Kiss" on novelishuniversetransaltions .com (new)

He woke up in a world made of broken stories… with no name, no past, and a pen that rewrites reality. The sky is torn like paper. The ground bleeds ink. And everywhere he turns, rules try to kill him. He’s not a hero. Not a villain. Not even a side character. He doesn’t belong in the story. But the Quill of Contradiction in his hand lets him bend the plot, defy the laws, and erase even Protagonists—at a cost. Every time he rewrites the world... he loses something of himself. Hunted by gods, watched by Readers, and stalked by the Narrator himself, he must uncover the truth: Why was he erased? What did he forget? And who is powerful enough to delete a name from every story ever written? ——— A genre-bending, reality-breaking epic for fans of mystery systems, anti-heroes, and psychological thrillers. Welcome to the story that shouldn’t exist.

He was the feral Alpha King buried beneath the mountain. She was the cursed girl they offered to him as sacrifice to end the famine plaguing their lands. ...but what sleeps beneath the mountain is no myth. Ruvan, the first Alpha. Imprisoned, driven to utter madness, and starved of power. Solenne, the packless she-wolf known as the Harbinger of Misfortune. With the power of cursed speech, she is able to kill and bend the world to her will with only one word. To avoid hurting others, she hasn't spoken a single syllable since she was a child. Feared and rejected by her own people, she is given to the mountain in a forbidden ritual-sacrifice... and her scent stirs the beast that slumbers beneath it. His mate. Ruvan will stop at nothing to claim what's his, even if that means storming the heavens and finding the cure to her curse just to hear her speak his name. ---- She saw stars behind her eyes and felt constellations carved into her skin with every lingering touch and each press of his mouth. He painted the night sky onto her body, not with a brush, but with his lips, hands, and his insatiable hunger—until her lungs were empty and her heart soared so high it must’ve kissed the moon. “Solenne,” Ruvan murmured, voice low and reverent, like a prayer. She shivered; the sound of her name on his lips felt like heaven. Ruvan pressed his palm to her stomach, anchoring her as he leaned in, mouth brushing the hollow of her throat. His hand rose, slow and shaking, tracing the shape of her jaw like it was a sight made only for him. His thumb brushed the corner of her mouth and his eyes burned as he studied her. “You feel like the stars,” he whispered, “Mesmerizing and bright... something that I want to capture and keep to myself." And then he kissed her; it was a deep, aching vow he couldn’t speak aloud. A promise made only in breath, heat, and need. When they parted, he gently pressed his forehead against hers. His voice dipped lower… uncertain, maybe even afraid: “Say my name?” -- R18, werewolves, fated love, weak to strong... I hope you enjoy my second entry for 2025 WSA. :) give it a shot~

The clock on my bedroom wall ticked past midnight, its soft clicks drowned out by the growl of my stomach. I, Haruto Tanaka, high school second-year and self-proclaimed master of procrastination, was facing a crisis of epic proportions: I was starving. Not just “I could eat a snack” starving, but “I might sell my soul for instant ramen” starving. “Ugh, why didn’t I grab something after club?” I groaned, flopping onto my bed. The kendo club had run late, and I’d been too lazy to stop by the convenience store. Now, my fridge was a barren wasteland, and my wallet was crying somewhere under a pile of manga. As I stared at the ceiling, a wild idea struck me. “What if… I summon food?” I sat up, grinning like an idiot. Okay, hear me out. Last week, I’d found this weird old book in the school library’s “do not borrow” section. It was called The Grimoire of Minor Conveniences, and it had spells for stuff like “find lost socks” or “make your tea the perfect temperature.” I’d skimmed it during

In a world filled with memories, friendships, and wounds too deep to measure — can love become the last memory left behind?

Hannah has always tried to be the good daughter, the faithful believer, the quiet girl who keeps her eyes forward and her feelings buried.

The native planet where a multitude of people suffering from the consequences of overpopulation and forceful servitude on Earth migrated to Crystallia via gravitational slipstream between planets. It was believed that such a feat was impossible and that a normal human being would not be able to survive such an ordeal, but then one of the most unpredictable physical phenomena in the universe besides the power of God was gravity. The galaxy collision occurred during the era of the slave trade when the supersized galaxy known as Redromida collided with the Milky Way. Naturally, none of the elements touched as the scientists had suggested, but there were phenomenons that they failed to predict. One such occurrence was the impact of the planet Crystallia disturbing the orbit of the Earth. The result of such a proximity between Crystallia, which happened to be as large as the planet Jupiter and Earth was astronomical. The resulting earthquakes and disasters shattered the very concept of living for man, and then the gravitational pathways between the planets, which lasted for more than 2 and a half years, were established. The migration began after several who had made the journey by accident had returned with glad tidings of fertile land, greener pastures, and a safe heaven from the power of the Aro and other European slave traders. The migration lasted until the gravitational slipstream ended; by then, the slave traders had discovered the path, but by the time they made plans to pursue the merchandise, the gravitational link between Earth and Crystallia had come to an end. The majority of people who made the journey were from parts of West Africa, the central parts of Asia, the Red Indians of North America and a few from the northern parts of South America. They had barely settled into their new home when the planets natural immune system was triggered, the Ẹbọras emerged intending to end the branch of humanity that had the gall to make this planet their home. The struggle for survival began; man was able to harness the crystal mined from the planet to forge an energy source, they were able to till the land to produce food, and they built large walls to shelter themselves from the Ẹbọra. As man thrived, man also adapted to this new planet; exposure to this new crystal energy and air, which was not oxygen but breathable, caused a change in man’s biological constitution. The next generation had Evolved into something else. Thus, the story begins. Adewale was killed on the streets of modern-day Lagos in the country called Nigeria; for some reason, God decided that Adewale didn’t deserve death and reincarnated him in this new world called Crystallia. He is forced to grow up quickly because of the sad state of the society he was born into, a society where the rich prey upon the poor using them as stepping stones in achieving their selfish ambitions. As a child, Adewale was forcefully recruited into the military force of the Lagos Shelter, where he was forced to use his useless ability to pave a path towards success. Through the hardship of this world, he managed to gather trusted allies and embarked on a quest of his own to take control of the Lagos shelter and end corruption. What he didn’t count on was the fact that the heart of the greedy thinks only of staying the hunger of their greed and that greed will lead to war, savagery and destruction. Thus the exciting story of Adewale begins, with his closest companion that named itself Symbiot.
