Wishes are subjective, and those who are reborn are nothing but hypocrites unworthy of the first. Words crumble to ashes, and memories of their origins resonate within fractured bodies. Amid a dream that is no mere illusion but a radiant illumination, shadows grow deeper, and the truth reveals itself, a child’s dream begins. I woke up in a world of uncertainty, a realm twisted and cruel, where swords clash, blood stains the ground, and monstrous beasts stalk the living. Flying ships drift above boundless chains that shackle the sky, while wars rage endlessly with weapons both ancient and unknown. It’s a place where beauty and terror coexist, where joy flickers like a fragile flame before being consumed by shadow. I am Celm, a man whose memories feel like shards of glass, fractured, distant, and painful. I don’t know who I truly am or why this world feels both alien and hauntingly familiar. The forsaken lands around me pulse with disasters and despair, as people endure a cycle of torment they cannot escape. And yet, hidden within this chaos lies a haunting beauty, a world that shifts and bends under the weight of forgotten truths. In this labyrinth of suffering and wonder, whispers of the Forsaken World linger, a place where the truth is absolute, where the laws of other realms erode, and where even gods lose their divinity. Every step I take feels like a descent into something deeper, a dream interwoven with reality and riddled with secrets. What is my place in this nightmare? What lies at the heart of a dream so vivid it burns brighter than light itself? I don’t know where the path leads, but I do know one thing: the truth, however unbearable, cannot be avoided forever.

In the year 2087, the asteroid Chimera crashed into Earth, unleashing a mysterious particle that fused human DNA with insect traits, creating a new breed of superhumans known as Hybrids. To control this sudden evolution, the world established Vertex Academy, a prestigious institution where gifted hybrids train to harness their abilities and protect humanity from the monstrous creatures born from the same catastrophe. Enter Kai Ashen, an unremarkable eighteen-year-old dismissed as a “Level Zero” hybrid. His ability? The power to produce smoke—a seemingly useless trait in a world of warriors with exoskeletons, venom, and devastating physical abilities. Ridiculed and overlooked, Kai is assigned to the academy’s lowest-ranked class, where failure means expulsion. But what no one realizes—including Kai himself—is that his ability is far more than it appears. As he trains under the enigmatic Professor Mantis, Kai discovers he can manipulate his smoke’s density, temperature, and chemical composition, leading to explosive reactions, sensory manipulation, and even short bursts of flight. When the academy is attacked by rogue hybrids, Kai’s unique talents prove invaluable, thrusting him into a deadly game of espionage, underground conflicts, and a looming war between Earth and forces beyond the stars. From a weak outcast to a legend, Kai’s journey is one of intelligence over raw strength, strategy over brute force. As he ascends through the Evolution Protocol, unlocking unimaginable power, he must navigate the deadly politics of hybrid society, the shadows of the Vespari Mafia, and an intergalactic conspiracy that threatens to consume the planet. In a world where only the strong survive, one overlooked underdog will rise—shrouded in smoke and destined to ignite a revolution.

“No matter what, never fall for the vampire king.” Kiara Whitman always knew her fate was twisted because she is the first hybrid, but things took a drastic turn when she was offered a contract marriage with the ruthless Valerian King. There was just one clause on the contract: "Falling for Adriel Valerian is equivalent to death.” But how could she follow such a clause? Her heart raced under his gaze, and when he spoke, her thoughts became foggy. It was clear as day that if the clause was meant to keep her alive, she wouldn’t survive. Unfortunately, Adriel, the vampire king, didn’t feel the same for her because he had his own plans for the hybrid princess; she was the key to everything he craved—his ultimate freedom from hell. He had sworn never to let himself fall for her because it would be messy; he had to be smart, vigilant, and stay in control. What will happen when Kiara finds out the real reason behind the contract marriage? Or when she discovers that she was just a tool for survival all along, just a possession to the vampire king and nothing less? Will she decide to leave for good or stay to find out her purpose? Or at least seduce the vampire king, if at all that’s possible.
