Genya Tooth

“I will drag you into an darkest abyss, as you have done to me for your betrayal. It’ll be like an eye for an eye and tooth for an tooth.” Atlas watches him kneeling on the ground with a dagger in his side, blood trickling from his wound. Atlas stands there, leaning against the wall with a nonchalant expression. Atlas stepped away from leaning against the golden statue, and he walked closer to him with a predatory grace, calm and effortless, and Atlas cradled his face with a possessive and clinging hold, and Atlas smiled gleefully, “Let’s make a deal. Belong to me and do everything I say, and I’ll release your brother.” Sebastian never saw this day coming, and he truly regretted saving him on that snowy day. This person isn’t the same youth from before, for vengeance and hatred only remain in his heart. The only thing he can do is appease the man. But this time, he will never give out his heart again. And he will never reveal the real truth behind his betrayal. What’s the point? Sebastian looked at the man before him and resisted the urge to move away from the hand on his face. His eyes remained stoic. In a hard voice, he said, “Fine. I will do what you want; in exchange, let my brother go.” *** Sebastian lives a normal life with his family, but he lives a hidden life. He has a dark secret that he protects at all costs; otherwise, he will be killed for being a monster. He and the rest of his family are vampires, living off blood, but his family, especially his father and mother, don’t feed on humans, for they cling onto morality, hoping not to descend into depravation. Sebastian cherishes his family, and they are both his strength and his weakness. They are the ones who maintain his humanity and keep him in check. But being a vampire comes with a deadly price; he must blend in with the human world, pretending to be a human is an effortless task: calculating and flirtatious is a mask he carries for centuries, playing with the lives of those around as if they’re just a game. His heart never lets anyone in, keeping distance from anyone except for his family, who live and protect each other. On that fateful night, he never thought he could have another emotional connection. A young, feral boy carrying a hunter's knife is surrounded by blood, snow, and dead wolves in the forest. Why does his youthful body carry a grotesque canvas of scars like they tell a gruesome past? Why do his eyes carry a heavy burden that’s too young for a human? Or is he a human in the first place? Soon, he would learn that Atlas carries heavy, dark secrets, where Sebastian had to look for an answer in Atlas’s past and must decide if he’s worth forgiving and protecting. ***

Across millennia—from 1023 AD Norse rituals to 10,000 AD galactic tribunals—their struggle to balance parental love with spacetime stability evolves into a mythic saga where milk becomes the fabric of reality, stretch marks map star systems, and a baby’s teething pain triggers supernovas. Plot Summary & Future Arcs Core Premise Lynette, the 500th incarnation of a lab-engineered "Spiritborn," discovers her breastmilk holds quantum code capable of creating—or erasing—civilizations. Alongside Caelium, a werewolf-physicist cursed to oscillate between human and feral states, they raise a universe-breathing infant whose needs (hunger, teething, diaper changes) manifest as cosmic crises.

Synopsis: This is the story of a boy becoming a man in a harsh but fantastic world. He will fight tooth and nail to become the apex predator. Warning: This story is bloody, not for the faint of heart, and is created by a newbie. There will be a small harem, not too many girls. Main character is not going to be girl crazy either. Harsh topics such as r***, abuse, drugs, torture, and the like will be in this story Author Note: I will try to have a lot of detail in the story but I will make many mistakes as I am new. Criticism is open. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CHAPTERS FOCUSED ON WORLD BUILDING/DETAIL.

December 31, 2099, Earth. To many, it was the end of the world. Ragnarok, the Rapture, Hell on Earth. Whatever you called it, the Zeno War was brutal as it was swift. In one bloody year, 90% of humanity was wiped out by a race dubbed the "Zenolists". While our weapons were powerful, they couldn't hold a candle to the power these beings held. And to think there was an entire empire of races similar to them out there waiting to conquer... One thing was for certain, Humanity needed to evolve. Funnily enough, some of us already had. On each continent held a house holding immense but secret power. The Mojave of North America, Mictlantecuhtli of South America, Abildgaard of Europe, Zulfikar of Africa, Xia of Aisa, Neivörn of Antarctica, and last but not least, the Cain house of Australia. For centuries, each of these houses hid in the shadows, feigning normality. This choice possibly saved Earth, as the force sent by the Zenolists proved too little to stop their retaliation. Sadly, the population loss wasn't the worst part. The Cains fell, and Australia was completely annihilated. Now, nearly 46 years after the end of the Zeno War, Leonidas Mourningstar must fight his way to the top of humanity, clawing tooth and nail from the dregs of the new world. And if he fails? God help us all...

In a world ruled by gods and the corrupt Supreme Order, one warrior dares to defy the heavens. Born as a half-human, half-lion slave, Lion D. Helios knew only suffering—until he seized his own fate, stealing two legendary Apex Gems that granted him control over the Sun and Moon. Now, with his body reforged by divine power and his will unshaken, he embarks on a brutal journey of conquest, vengeance, and the ultimate goal: to kill God and to over throw the government know as The Supreme Order. But Helios' path is drenched in blood. From battling Blizzard Dragons in frozen wastelands to tearing apart angelic enforcers of the Supreme Order, his power grows—but so do his enemies. Alongside an unbreakable crew of warriors, including the honor-bound Bow, the master swordsman Prometheus, and the enigmatic pirate warlord Flimlight, Helios will challenge the universe itself. But power alone won’t be enough. Helios must learn control, push beyond his limits, and survive encounters with beings who could shatter planets with a thought. And when he faces the monstrous warriors Aloe Alpaca and Aloe Alpaca Jr., he will learn that even gods fear what lies beyond the stars. The war against the heavens begins. And the Lion is hungry.
