Shattered Reflection

Two separate worlds. Two souls destined to meet. Astra and Rowan were born on opposite moons, where each other's reflection is only a forbidden myth.

But when the veil between their worlds begins to weaken, they discover their connection is real... and dangerous. Legends warn that crossing the reflection will upset the balance of the universe. The Guardian of Reflections lurks in the shadows, determined to prevent it. But Astra and Rowan are willing to defy fate, even if the price is disappearing forever. Because there are loves that transcend worlds. And there are moons that, though separated, never cease to shine together.

In the sprawling metropolis of Azeron, time is a broken record, a loop of endless resets. Every time Azeron dies, the world rewinds, a cruel cycle he’s endured countless times, remembering every agonizing death, every shattered reality. Yet, this time, something is different. The resets are fracturing, the familiar patterns warping, and Azeron is no longer alone in his torment. He discovers he’s not the first to endure this nightmare. Others have tried to break free, their failures echoing through the fractured timelines. But Azeron is different. His memory, a curse and a key, is unraveling the very fabric of the cycle. He is shifting between seven parallel realities, each a distorted reflection of the world he knows, each a step closer to the terrifying truth. A shadowy entity hunts him across these broken timelines, a predator sensing its prey. Azeron finds allies in the enigmatic Weaver, who weaves the threads of fate, and the Seeker, who deciphers the lost language of the Ancients, the creators of the cycle.

With time collapsing and realities merging, Azeron must make a sacrifice that will echo through eternity.

Every dreamy girl wants a Mafia man, but the question is, does the Mafia man want you? Luna Defalco is a woman born into the Mafia life. Her father was in the Mafia, her cousins were in the Mafia, her mother died in the Mafia and now, even the man she loves is the almighty Mafia boss himself. There's just one minor hiccup, Zeno Silvestri, Luna's love interest, sees her as nothing more than a childish little sister. To make matters worse, he remains in love with his dead wife. When a threat on both their lives forces them to abscond to an island owned by Zeno, Luna must take this God-given chance to prove to Zeno that she is no longer that little child he's known all his life and make him fall for her womanly charms by all means. What happens when Zeno's brotherly feelings for Luna begin to shift? Can he accept this shift in affection or will he hold on to his dead lover? *** Excerpt “Zeno, what do you think love is?” Luna asked. Her sudden question made him turn from the grasses he was lazily plucking out of the moist earth, to stare at her. “Not what the dictionary tells us, but to you, what is love?" She wasn't joking, he could see it. Wiping the dirt off his palms, he sat himself next to her on the dried log of wood which she sat on. In and out he breathed like he was sincerely thinking about her question. Then without looking at her, his lips parted and he said, “A mirror.” "A mirror?" She asked. "Yes. A mirror.” He nodded and sighed. “Love is a mirror that reflects the deepest part of a person's soul. A mirror that reflects pain and suffering, but also joy and ecstasy, it's a mirror that reflects the heart just the way it is, naked and helpless. It's a mirror that reflects life, and that mirror is made of frail glass, hold it too tight, and it'll shatter, don't hold it tight enough, and it'll slip right out of your fingers and still shatter, if you try to pick up the broken pieces, you'll hurt yourself, that's why it's never easy to pick up the broken pieces, and neither can you just leave it there and get another mirror. Someone else might get hurt. Either way, love is hurtful." She had asked for his own take on love and he had given her the answer. Now she wanted to be bold. “Zeno, I no longer want to be that little baby girl that you adore.” His head turned as his eyes sought to look at her as though that would help him hear better. “Let me help you. I think if we pick up the broken pieces of the previous mirror together, it'll hurt less. And after we've cleared out the shattered pieces, then… then I want to be your new mirror.”

WSA 2025 Entry What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. He was never meant to uncover it. But when fragments of forgotten identities surface and unseen forces move in the shadows, Aramith is thrust into a web of deception, blood, and a history long buried. Worse still, within him stirs an attribute unlike any other—the strongest, yet the most chaotic. A power that bends to no master, a force that threatens to consume him whole. To wield it is to risk destruction; to reject it is to remain powerless. And yet, power alone does not reveal the truth, for blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is?

Shattered: Beyond End Written by Xythe. Co-created with Herz & Ciel of Shattercore Studio. "We weren't chosen. We were thrown into the fire." In a world collapsing under the weight of Corrupted Objects—twisted monsters spawned from alternate, broken realities—only one force holds the line: Counters. They aren't born heroes. They're survivors with scars deeper than their powers. At the center of this chaos is Squad 13—new recruits, poorly ranked, barely trained. But what starts as a shaky beginning quickly spirals into a war for survival, loyalty, and truth. Kun fights like he has nothing to lose—because he already lost too much. Suho sees everything but never says enough. Mika heals wounds but hides her own. Smiley is the kind of genius who jokes about dying... and means it.

When betrayal bleeds from within and a mysterious girl arrives wielding a greatsword and a deathwish, everything begins to break. This isn’t your average academy. This is war with no script.
