Imagine a world where humanity lives in the sky, there's no land. Instead a vast endless ocean. Ingrit Clodines dreams of exploring the ocean depths as a Mage diver, but his weak magic and impoverished upbringing make it an impossible goal. Without the resources to grow stronger, his aspirations seem doomed to remain a fantasy. Everything changes during a fateful underwater mission. Betrayed by a teammate who removes his oxygen mask, Ingrit is exposed to the poisonous sea and left for dead. As he succumbs to the darkness, a voice echoes in his mind: [O you Chosen one. You are not allowed to die yet] Revived by an ancient force, Ingrit becomes one of the "Chosen" and discovers a power far beyond anything he could have imagined. But with this new strength comes a dangerous destiny—one that ties him to the mysteries of the ocean and a betrayal that could shatter the world above.

.............WSA 25 entry............. Stealing from mortals? Too easy. But stealing from the gods? Now that’s an art. Alister never believed in fate—only fools waited for miracles while he took what he pleased. Raised an orphan, with nothing but his wits and quick hands to survive, he became known as Ace, the faceless thief, a legend among criminals. No vault could hold him. No ward could stop him. But mortals soon proved unchallenging, and so he set his sights higher—on the divine. His last heist nearly cost him his life, but in return, he gained an ability that would change everything. With this newfound power, Alister assembled a crew of misfits, each with their own talents, their own reasons for defying the heavens. Together, they formed the Divine Heist Club—a name the world would soon come to know, and the gods would soon come to fear.

A gang leader holds a thief captive, soon finding she's the daughter of a rival.

The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past-self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

In the fractured kingdoms of Eldyra, where deserts bleed molten ore and fungal forests whisper forgotten names, three outcasts are bound by a lie older than the stars. Kael, a guilt-ridden blacksmith, wields a hammer that burns with the soul of a traitorous knight. Lira, an outcast herbalist, dreams of a goddess’s death—and wakes with bloody hands. Tyrus, a thief with no past, carries daggers that devour his memories to feed a love he can’t recall. When Voidspawn—shapeshifting demons born from a murdered goddess’s rage—swarm their homes, the trio is branded as heretics and forced to flee. Their only hope lies in the Celestial Anchors, ancient relics said to halt the apocalyptic Dusk Eclipse. But as they uncover the truth, they realize the anchors are not tools of salvation… but locks. A thousand years ago, the goddess Nyrisia sacrificed herself to trap a cosmic parasite that feeds on mortal suffering. The “curse” she left behind was a shield, not a punishment. Now, her reincarnation (Lira) is unraveling, Tyrus’s lost love is the parasite’s avatar, and Kael’s hammer demands he kill the only friend he’s ever had. As kingdoms burn and allies betray them, the three must choose: reignite Nyrisia’s war and doom the world to eternal hunger, or shatter the anchors and unleash the parasite’s full wrath. But the greatest threat lies within—Lira’s goddess is waking, Tyrus’s dagger is a key, and Kael’s hammer remembers how to kill a god.
