An adult gets sent back to the past to become a substitute teacher for like, what, four (and more) of the worst kids he's ever met? It was initially a favor, but Arel finds himself in deeper mud than he'd thought. His boss was far too different from the future, and this weird girl keeps acting like he's not even supposed to be here. Of course he isn't! But why? Everything collides and he's not even the one to stop it? Why is he even here, then?!

At the age of sixteen, each member of every shard—scattered across each specie—gets a core awakening that determines where they would belong. Karl doesn’t get an awakening, but he stays on the shifter shards, pretending to be a shifter for years until he turns twenty. At twenty, he gets a core awakening, but… there is an abnormality: he shows signs of more than six species, breaking the balance of the world he is in. People like him are rare and dangerous, and soon, he is discovered, turning him into a fugitive in all worlds. None of the shards can claim him, seeing that he had the ability of everyone. These unstable abilities leave him drained, and now he must fight magic and tech to survive while navigating each world, meeting people, sating his desires… and killing.

In a world shaped by gods, destiny, and prophecy, everything follows a predetermined cycle. The Five Goddesses rule the heavens, having sealed away their sole brother, Kaelis, the God of Unity, long ago—twisting his name into the God of Chaos to erase his true purpose. With his fall, the Hero’s Party defeated the Demon Lord, and non-human races perished one by one, leaving only humans to rule the world. Before Kaelis was sealed, however, eight monoliths descended, warning that once every odd century, a Destined One would be born—either a harbinger of chaos or tranquility. This prophecy became an unshakable truth, with the world rising and falling in accordance with these chosen individuals. Yet, centuries later, long after the last Destined One passed, the world faced a new calamity. The ley lines of mana, the lifeblood of magic, began to wither. The Church of the Five declared it divine will, while scholars and mages sought a solution. One woman—a brilliant but infamous sorceress—discovered the cause and took it upon herself to restore the mana flow. She succeeded—but her actions tore open a rift between dimensions, unleashing monsters not born of this world. Though the breach was eventually sealed, the damage was irreversible. The world changed forever, and she vanished into legend—reviled by some, revered by others. Now, in the present era, the world exists in tenuous balance. Monsters roam the land, kings rule their fractured domains, and the Church maintains its iron grip. No new Destined One has emerged. The world expects another cycle to begin. Then, he is born. A child without prophecy, without divine origin, without fate. A soul not from this world. Unlike the Destined Ones of legend, his birth was never foreseen by the gods—an impossibility that throws the celestial order into chaos and confusion. For the first time, something has entered this world without the hand of the divine guiding it. He is not a hero. He is not the chosen one. He is an anomaly. And in a world where destiny dictates all, a man with no fate may be the most dangerous force of all.

She was once the cherished daughter of a respected professor, but now, she is nothing more than a shadow in the city-poor, struggling, and alone. Whispers follow her wherever she goes. Beauty like hers, they say, is a curse for a girl without power. They assume she'll do anything for money. But she is fire, untamed and unbroken. The university, once her father's legacy, is now under the control of a powerful man-a man who watches her with a cruel smile, waiting for the moment she will break. He holds the strings to her fate, dragging her into a silent war where wealth and control always win. Then, he returns. The boy who once played by her side, the boy who vanished the night of the tragedy, is back-no longer a friend, no longer the boy she knew. Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown? As secrets unravel and desires ignite, she must decide-fight against the power that seeks to destroy her, or surrender to the darkness lurking within the man she once called her own.

A young boy awakens in the ashes of a destroyed village, marked by a mysterious glowing rune on his abdomen. He has no memory of how he survived a ritual sacrifice gone wrong, only haunting flashes of hooded figures and searing pain. Forced to flee through fields of ash and ruin, he soon realizes his body is now younger, weaker, and marred by unearthly power.

Getting married and falling in love was never Grace's plan. She wanted to live a life with freedom but was forced to get married to Alex for their families to gain inheritances.

For millennia, he has walked unseen, a shadow in history’s wake. Cain. The First Murderer. The Forsaken. Cursed with immortality, burdened by the Mark that even gods fear, he has watched empires rise and fall, his bloodline shaping the creatures that lurk in the dark—vampires, witches, werewolves, and more. But now, he is just Karan Malhotra—a devoted husband, a loving father, a man who has built a quiet life in India, far from the horrors of his past. His family knows nothing of the monster that legend whispers about. And he intends to keep it that way. Until the call comes. An unearthed secret. A disturbance in the supernatural world. A power tied to his cursed blood. Every faction—vampires, hunters, demons, and even divine beings—wants it. And they all want him back. Forced to return to Los Angeles, Cain is thrust into a war of his own making, where his long-lost descendants, old enemies, and ancient forces are converging. Some worship him. Some want him dead. And some seek to unlock the final secret of his curse. Now, as the past collides with the present, Cain must fight to protect the only thing that has ever mattered—his family. But to do so, he may have to become the very legend he fears… Because in a world ruled by his blood, the First Monster is still the strongest.

Ellen liked to imagine himself being cool and undertaking secret missions, but he knew that he was just another ordinary teenager like everyone else. Until one day when a bomb went off in his house, and shattered the entire block, with him at the very center of the impact, and he came out from amidst the debris and the scorched corps of people he knew, dizzy, sad, miserable, in rags, but unscathed. And then he saw them, the knights in white armor, unlike anything he'd ever seen, the strange figures darting in the shadows, and strange people with fantastic powers wearing a phoenix emblem on their chest. And he could hear a voice talking to him in his head. "There's a war going on in the shadows, of greater consequence than any other internal strife, and every one of the enlightened must align and fight an eternal war." "Who are you?" he asked, but there came no reply.

Hermia blinked, caught off guard. “So it has to be marriage?” she asked, her tone laced with disbelief. “Yes,” he deadpanned, not a hint of hesitation in his voice. Her frustration bubbled over. “But we don’t even know each other!” she whined, throwing her hands up in exasperation. Niklaus leaned forward, his dark eyes gleaming. “I don’t need to know you, Mia,” he said, his voice dipping into a deep, dangerous tone. “When I can feel you… that’s enough for me.” She inhaled sharply, her heart hammering in her chest. “That’s not enough for me,” she countered, her voice firm but trembling slightly. His expression softened, and his next words wrapped around her like a promise. “I would forever cherish you, adore you, and treat you like the rarest gem. I would never let you shed a single tear of pain.” Her resolve wavered, but she shook her head and pushed back. “We’re not getting married, Shark. Just go.” But instead of leaving, he smirked, leaning back with a confidence that rattled her. “I’ll be waiting.” Hermia groaned, exasperated. “Nik, you’re hardly doing any waiting. You’re all over me! We live together, work together, eat together—you’re always here!” Niklaus’s voice dropped to a whisper, raw and pleading. “Then just keep me forever, Mia.” She froze, his honest, vulnerable eyes piercing through every defense she had built.

Cigarette smoke curls in the stagnant air, the dim glow of a dying bulb casting twisted shadows against the walls littered with half-torn articles and red-thread connections. Somewhere between the ink-stained papers and the scattered pills, a man sits—silent, unmoving, staring blankly at a stuffed monkey in a clown suit. A detective, they call him. A man of justice, a solver of mysteries. But behind the applause and empty praises, behind the sharp smiles and hollow congratulations, he is nothing but a walking contradiction—one hand holding a case file, the other exchanging cash for little plastic sachets. His mind is a labyrinth of voices, whispers that coil around his thoughts like suffocating vines. His brother grins at him from the corners of his vision, eyes glinting with the truth he refuses to face. His father’s voice is gentle, forgiving—too forgiving. Too much for a man who doesn’t deserve it. Each pill swallowed is another step into the illusion, another moment of stolen happiness before the weight of reality drags him under. He walks the city streets, drowning in faces that admire him, loathe him, see him as something he is not. He is both a hero and a villain, a detective and a criminal, a man trying to outrun the past while shackled to its corpse. And at the end of the night, when the echoes of the world fall away, all that remains is the darkness, the whispers, and the suffocating truth—he can never escape them.
