You know what’s unfair? For years, I dreamed about adventure—magic, monsters, heroes, all that good stuff. I imagined grand battles, epic quests, and worlds filled with mystery. And then the world actually decided to go full apocalypse. Did it give me a cool prophecy? A legendary weapon? A warning? An OP Skill? Nope. Just dumped me into chaos with nothing but my sharp wit and questionable survival instincts. Fine. I can play this game. Heck, I even got my own survival guide: Rule #1: Find a protagonist. Because let’s be honest, I am not main character material. Main characters are strong, serious, and burdened by fate. I, on the other hand, have spent my entire life dodging effort like it’s a contagious disease. Rule #2: If your protagonist has amnesia, you are screwed. Guess what? Mine does. The regressor, the guy who was supposed to have all the answers, keeps squinting at the apocalypse like it’s an old TV show he barely remembers. “This looks familiar…” Yes, genius, because we’re about to die in it! So now I have to think. Not normal thinking—fool’s logic. The kind of thinking that makes no sense but works anyway. And if that fails? I’ll talk my way out. Monsters? Negotiate. Villains? Trash-talk them until they cry. Death itself? Well, I’ll try to convince it that I’m not worth the effort. And if I die even then? At least I’ll go out proving that fools always find a way. ______ ___ _ [ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

Do you believe in magic? The answer of most will be no. But what if magic DID exsist? To some, it might just be your typical average story. But this has an element of unpredictability mixed in between. Diane Lewis was a normal teenage girl from an aristocratic family. But since she met HIM, her view of the world turned upside down. "How is that even possible?" She asked, mouth agape. He smiled at her, showing a perfect set of snow-white teeth. "With magic, anything is possible." Horn your skills and train your ability. "I will protect you." She said, with a determined gaze. "You can Barely even protect yourself. You are not strong enough." He retorted. "Then, just wait for Me to get stronger." She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" He said, glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. I still have people I treasure here. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth.

-- WSA 2025 Entry -- “Five… Four… Three… Two… One…” As the countdown towards the new year went on to the last second, Miles looked up to the sky, just as everybody else did. In the middle of the crowded street, Miles for once felt like he belonged. Being a teenage gamer, living with his parents, and trying to build a life as a streamer, he did not feel like leaving his room every day. But there, in the middle of that crowded street, with everyone around him paying attention to the sky, the countdown on the digital billboard, and mostly anything else but him., Miles felt like a ghost. A welcomed ghost, but a ghost, after all. With a smile on his unseen face, he looked up as the countdown reached one, and everybody sang in unison. ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR!” But Miles’ eyes widened as he watched in utter horror, and curiosity, even, hovering above him, a holographic screen with a few lines of text written in it. All around him, although he did not pay much attention to it, a few other people seemed to experience the same situation.

This modern world was once ruled by elemental forces and primal creatures, but the balance of power has long since shattered. Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and Humans—each race has carved its own legacy, yet none remain untouched by the tides of war and betrayal. Once, these factions waged battles that scorched the land and stained history with blood. Now, the war has faded into myth, and a fragile peace clings to existence like a dying ember. But peace was never meant to last. A kingdom watches with unease as old wounds fester beneath the surface, as forbidden ties between predator and prey threaten to upend everything. Whispers of rebellion stir in the streets, ancient forces awaken in the shadows, and a forgotten prophecy looms on the horizon. Amidst this brewing storm, a child is born—a being who is the product of two worlds. A hybrid of Vampire and Human, he stands as a symbol of opposing forces intertwined. His existence alone is enough to ignite fury, to challenge the natural order, and to become the spark that could either unite the fractured lands or set them ablaze once more. Secrets buried deep in history will rise. Loyalties will be tested. And in the end, only one truth remains: Power is the only law, and those without it will be devoured. What happens when the past refuses to stay buried? When the sins of old return to claim their debt? This is not a fairy tale. This is the truth they wanted forgotten. Welcome to The Secrets of Chiaroscuro.

Chung Woo, a brilliant but socially detached individual obsessed with fictional worlds, meets an untimely end. Reincarnated by a capricious deity into the brutal Alien vs. Predator universe, he's granted three wishes and a System to aid his survival. Choosing power, knowledge, and a way to satiate his thirst for entertainment, Chung is reborn as a Xenomorph. However, this isn't just any Xenomorph. Chung retains his human intellect, his cold, calculating nature, and his vast knowledge gleaned from countless hours immersed in fiction. This unique perspective allows him to see the Xenomorph hive not as a mindless swarm, but as a potential empire ripe for conquest. He utilizes his System, a powerful interface providing him with status updates, resource management tools, mission objectives, and even a shop to acquire mutations and upgrades, to manipulate and control the hive. He quickly rises through the ranks, his strategic brilliance and ruthless efficiency making him a force to be reckoned with. He discards the Xenomorph's primal instincts, replacing them with cold logic and calculated ambition. As Chung expands his influence, he begins to reshape the hive, evolving it into a highly organized, technologically advanced killing machine. He leverages his knowledge of human technology and tactics, adapting them to the Xenomorph physiology, creating horrifying new breeds of warriors and bio-weapons. He uses the System's map function to locate resources, strategically plan attacks, and expand his territory. He hunts Predators not just for sustenance, but for their technology, incorporating their weapons and armor into his growing army. The story follows Chung's relentless pursuit of dominance, his transformation of the Xenomorphs into a galactic superpower, and his brutal clashes with Predators, humans, and other alien species. It explores the ethical implications of his actions, the blurring lines between man and monster, and the chilling efficiency of a mind honed by fiction now unleashed upon a brutal reality. Will he become the ultimate apex predator, or will the universe find a way to tame the beast within?

Raven just wants to live a peaceful life is world that demands that she die for crime she didn't commit. Her mother was a notorious Assassin but they could never prove it until after she died on a job. Even then, they could only prove that she killed people not that any of her money was illegally obtained so it all went to Raven and her Father hated her for it. He had her mother blood in her veins. So much so that he had her locked away for the rest of her life.... or so he thought. Follow Raven as she embarks on her journey in a world that tries to swallow her whole at every turn and as she learns the truth about her Mother and about herself. There will be child abuse and general mistreatment present so be forwarned. As the story progresses the supernatural will have a part in this novel so if ghouls and ghosts aren't your thing then I recommend you keep schrolling. Also this is a work of FICTION. Any similarities to a person living or dead is completely coincidental.

Completed! =) Healing is not just healing, it is also politics. Edwin had heard it all, had repeated it time and time again. He did not want to accept those words. They were vile, they were poisonous. A necromancer such as himself had no right to become a healer, he still did his best. An altruist like him had no place in the service of the king as Boliarin. He still refused to give up the title, for fear that someone else would take it, and plunge Duria into chaos. All his life, he had played by the rules. Even when he suffered losses, even when he believed he could not look himself in the mirror. Everyone has a breaking point. Edwin did not lie to himself. He was calm, but not sane. The camel's back had long since been broken. And yet, when his ray of moonlight, the vampire Hadrian, offered to travel with him, Edwin agreed. He lets himself pretend he was good, hoping he might lie to himself one of those days. Would Harry be enough to stop him from darkening the world? Or would he end up just another villain, who had once been bright-eyed and hopeful? The story is complete, and has 109 chapters in total, around 1k each. Updates: 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thank you for your time! =)

Distance grew, silence settled, and their story was left unfinished.

"May the dice roll in your favor." **Author's Notes:** - I as the author have employed multiple pen names throughout my journey, including Chaos_Guide, TS Greed, and Slumbering Dragon. - This is a fantasy tale with a morally complex protagonist who does not shy away from embracing the darker aspects of his character. - The story commences in a world devoid of fantasy elements, gradually ascending through the ranks of worlds as the expansive universe unravels. - The narrative truly takes off with the onset of Volume 2, where the first fantasy world unfolds in all its grandeur.
