Seattle Contest

*This is my entry for the WSA 2025 Contest!* This story revolves around Ashton Grace, a delinquent with a brash personality and a rough past. Ashton lives day to day in an endless, boring cycle of school, beating rival gangs, and skipping on stupid, mundane homework until his 18th birthday arrives, and his life changes forever. On his 18th birthday, a cursed demon sealed within Ashton awakens, changing the course of his life and even Ashton's unknown future unexpectedly. To find answers of his existence and to rid of the demonic curse, Ashton must work with Co, an underground exorcist organization that purifies demons lurking in the human realm to rid of powerful devils within the city of Tsurugi. Now to purify the world of demons and devils, Ashton must also work with Jin Itsuki, one of the top exorcist of Co nick-named Mad Dog, and seemingly the only person who can tame the demon inside of Ashton. Unexpectedly, of course, that comes with many problems--one with being falling in love with the one man who hates demons the most. Turning 18 is the worse, ain't it? —————————————————— ADDITIONAL TAGS: #ACTION #HORROR #SUPERNATURAL #THRILLER #ENEMIESTOLOVERS #FIRSTLOVE #TRADGEY #DEMONS #ANGELS —————————————————— Chose Your Agent:

Long ago, in the sacred realm of Atlantis, a great sorrow befell the land. The Queen Mother, Sophia Alyroniel, protector of the Crystal Heart and the soul of Atlantis, sacrificed herself to shield the kingdom from a looming darkness. In her selfless act, the skies grew dim, the oceans wept, and the hearts of the people fell into mourning. Grief consumed Atlantis, and its people believed that without Alyroniel, they could never heal. The elders, in their desperation, turned to an ancient prophecy long whispered among the stars. "When the Aquarian Star rises from the depths of despair, she shall rekindle the flame of Atlantis. Through her light, the tides shall turn, and the broken land shall thrive once more." Summoning women born under the sign of Aquarius from realms unknown, the elders organized a grand contest, known as The Trials of the Tides. The challenges were not only of strength but also of heart, courage, and wisdom. From these trials emerged a single soul, one who bore the resilience of the stars themselves. Through every challenge, she proved her worth, and upon completing the trials, she was crowned the Aquarian Star, the chosen one foretold to restore balance to Atlantis. With her ascension, the Crystal Heartbeat once more, and the waters of Atlantis began to flow with life. The kingdom, once shrouded in grief, blossomed again. The tale of Alyroniel, the queen who sacrificed all to save her people, continues to echo through time, a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and the light that rises from even the deepest shadows. ---

MONSTORY is a dark, character-driven dystopian fantasy set in a fractured future Seattle, where Alucards, winged beings bred in captivity, have never known freedom. Engineered for labor, silenced by law, and bound by control collars, they serve without rights, their wings bound and identities erased. Igor, once a slave in a coal mine and now a servant in the estate of a powerful human family, survives by suppressing who he truly is. But as fragments of memory return and his conditioning begins to fail, the cracks in his obedience widen. Haunted by a name he wasn’t allowed to keep, and a violence he was trained to deliver, Igor teeters between the roles of monster and man. As old power structures begin to fracture, MONSTORY explores the cost of survival in a world built on inherited cruelty. With themes of captivity, trauma, rebellion, and the aching need to be seen as human, this is a story about one enslaved Alucard's quiet war for autonomy, and the fire that might burn everything down to get it. What to Expect: - A brainwashed vampire-like weapon who might kill you... Or just spiral into an identity crisis first. - Mind games, manipulation, and memory wipes, because therapy is illegal and cults are trendy. - Slow-burn character drama where trauma is the main currency and no one gets out clean. - Rebellion run by morally bankrupt idealists. You’ll root for them. You’ll regret it. - Found family, lost family, broken family, pick your flavor of pain. - Beautiful prose with teeth. Think poetry, but it bites back. - A dark, tangled web of secrets that punishes you for trusting anyone, including the narrator. - Emotional devastation with the occasional flash of tenderness, like a knife glinting in moonlight. What Not to Expect: - OP wish-fulfillment MCs who level up by chapter 3. This isn’t that kind of grind. - A harem. Unless you count trauma bonding with your enemies. - Quirky comic relief characters. We have one guy who tells jokes. He’s not okay. - Morality that’s easy to swallow. It’s more like choking on holy water. - Fluffy romance. It’s complicated, possibly cursed, and not approved by HR. - Adults who fix things. The adults are the problem.

[2022 Best Newcomer Award Nomination] [No. 1 Bestseller in the 10th Sci-Fi Starlight Awards] [First Prize in the 2022 Sci-Fi Writing Contest] Saviors are ranked in different classes. An unranked savior is inefficient, taking years or even decades to save the world, leaving countless people to suffer in the meantime, and in the end, they might not even succeed. A third-rate savior is manipulated by conspirators throughout their life, ignorant and controlled like a puppet in someone else’s hands. A second-rate savior sacrifices greatly to save the world, enduring the death of a spouse, disability, the loss of close friends, and other hardships, only to gain an empty reputation or a gravestone epitaph. “Those saviors all have it too hard. I don’t want to be like them. I want to be a first-class savior!” “You ask me, what is a first-class savior?” “Saving the world at light speed!” “No casualties!” “Profiting wildly!” “Using the sword of the present to slay the future before it arrives, snuffing out the apocalypse in its cradle, acting entirely on my own will, and reaping the rewards I deserve!” “That’s what it means to be a first-class savior!” Stellar voyages, space-time travel, mechanical technology—the goal is the vast and unknown sea of stars!

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges. "Not again... With this chance I will end you all" Neraxis vowed to himself, embarking on his path of revenge, while also trying to give his life new meaning. ***** Disclaimer: MC is not instantly going to be a villain, as his background is that of a hero. The switch will be gradual in accordance with the events that happen along the way. Some snippets of such events have already been teased :) *****

As alliances form and break, and the game’s true architect lurks just out of reach, players must confront their deepest fears—and uncover the truth behind the labyrinth’s creation before it consumes them all. In this unforgiving world, there are no easy answers, and the path to victory is a descent into madness.
