Dois séculos após a Grande Guerra, a paz entre humanos e lobisomens finalmente foi alcançada, ou assim todos acreditam. Lobisomens reinam como deuses, e os humanos permanecem blissfully inconscientes de seu verdadeiro lugar na nova ordem mundial. Para manter esse frágil equilíbrio, a cada ano, um punhado de humanos "sortudos" é selecionado de vários distritos para frequentar a Lunaris Academy, uma instituição prestigiosa que promete glória, status e uma chance de se misturar com a elite. Os escolhidos são celebrados como os poucos sortudos, destinados a casar-se com poderosos alfas e ascender como luna. Este ano, Violet Purple está entre os escolhidos, para surpresa de todos. Para uma garota órfã adotada por uma prostituta desonrada, este é um bilhete dourado para uma vida melhor, ou pelo menos é o que dizem a ela. Mas a Lunaris Academy não é o paraíso que aparenta ser. Tudo o que Violet e seus companheiros humanos foram ensinados é uma mentira. Os humanos estão longe de serem iguais; são peões em um jogo muito maior. A academia é nada mais do que uma gaiola dourada, e os alunos são cordeiros levados ao abate, brinquedos para os alfas se divertirem em seus jogos impiedosos. Para piorar as coisas, Violet chama a atenção dos jogadores mais perigosos deste jogo, os Quatro do Terror: o Alfa do Norte, Alfa do Sul, Alfa do Leste e Alfa do Oeste. Cada um é mais perigoso, mais perverso e mais poderoso que o anterior. Mas mesmo entre si, os alfas estão divididos, cada um com suas próprias ambições mortais. Ainda assim, todos têm os olhos sobre ela. Eles esperam que Violet siga o fluxo, caia na linha como os outros que adoram aos seus pés, se quebre sob seus jogos. Mas Violet não é como os outros. Ela se recusa a se curvar. Ela vai desafiá-los a todos.

In a world where the line between the living and the supernatural is thin, Adrian, a solitary and enigmatic figure, is thrust into a web of mystery and danger. His journey begins with a perilous mission to uncover the secrets of a long-abandoned city, one tainted by rumors of curses and ancient powers. The Ashweld Hollow—a place shrouded in death, lost memories, and dark forces—beckons as the first trial. Joined by a group of diverse companions, including the icy and elusive Maria, the battle-hardened Kael, and the witty Jax, Adrian must navigate both human treachery and supernatural horrors. Each step they take brings them closer to uncovering the truth, but not without sacrifice. As they journey deeper into the cursed city, Adrian finds himself questioning everything—his purpose, his companions, and even the shadows that seem to follow him. Every move is fraught with peril, and every answer raises more questions. But the Hollow holds more than just ghosts. Beneath its crumbling streets lies a power capable of reshaping the world itself. Adrian’s resolve is tested, and his past—hidden in the darkest corners of his mind—will come to the surface, threatening to destroy him from within. In a world where trust is scarce, and betrayal is always a breath away, Adrian must face the darkness—both external and internal—if he hopes to survive the Hollow’s embrace.

Tags: Celestials, Demons, Titans, Magic, .... Before Earth’s destruction, Zion was involved in a tragic accident that caused his soul to escape the planet. This event spared him from witnessing the catastrophic disaster that annihilated all life, leaving no living creature behind. However, Earth and every soul connected to it underwent an on imaginable distribution as they got refined by the Celestial being for its mysterious purpose. Both souls and matter were erased from existence. After 1,000 cosmic years, Zion was reborn as a Titan, a member of the legendary Primordial Race. Myths tell of how, after creating the Seven Heavens and the Seven Hells, the Cosmos populated them with two opposing forces: the Celestial Race, who adhered to cosmic laws to refine their divinity, and the Demon Race, who defied those same laws in their pursuit of power. But the Celestials and Demons were not the Cosmos’ final creations. A third race was unintentionally born, the Primordials, beings capable of bending the very laws of reality. Feared for their overwhelming power, their existence threatened the delicate balance of creation. To prevent chaos, the Cosmos sacrificed itself, using its own essence to seal the Primordials at the edge of the Void, far beyond the reach of the heavens and hells. Zion, born as the first true Primordial through natural birth, an act that defied cosmic laws, became a member of the Nihiliths, a noble Void Primordial clan. His unique existence granted him unparalleled abilities to manipulate the fabric of reality itself, marking him as a being of extraordinary potential. But his life was far from easy. The Celestials and Demons, unable to rival the Primordials’ power, discovered loopholes in the ancient seal. Out of envy and greed, they began abducting newborn Primordials, exploiting their essence for twisted experiments, weapons, and forbidden alchemy. Zion uncovers a dark truth: the destruction of Earth was not a natural catastrophe but a calculated act to prevent humanity’s evolution into a race capable of rivaling the heavens. Now, Zion must rise as the leader of the scattered and sealed Primordials. He must unite his people, protect them from the relentless schemes of Celestials and Demons, and uncover the secrets behind the Cosmos’ ultimate sacrifice. To reclaim the Primordials’ rightful place in the universe, Zion must embrace his full potential, even if it means bending the laws of creation itself and challenging the balance of existence. releasing days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Le Néant n’est pas un simple lieu, c’est une autre dimension, une réalité déformée et inaccessible à la plupart des êtres humains. Ce monde absurde et chaotique semble engloutir tout ce qu’il touche, annihilant les frontières entre le vivant et le mort, le possible et l’impossible. Pour y accéder, il existe trois voies principales : la téléportation naturelle provoquée par le Néant lui-même, des machines spécialement conçues pour l’explorer, mais accessibles uniquement par l’armée magique, et enfin, des failles dimensionnelles créées aléatoirement, souvent dangereuses et instables. Le Néant est une zone de mystères, un endroit que l’humanité cherche à comprendre et à exploiter, mais il reste impénétrable et terrifiant. Jusqu’à présent personne n’est revenu du Néant sans aucune séquelles. Au centre de ce chaos, une légende perdure, celle de l’Obu : une orbe magique capable d’exaucer 1 souhait, brisant les codes de l’imagination ainsi pouvant offrir un pouvoir qui pourrait changer le cours du monde. L’armée magique, obsédée par ce mythe, cherche à envoyer des escadrons dans le Néant, des magiciens entraînés pour naviguer dans cet endroit et rapporter des informations, dans l’espoir de découvrir cette orbe légendaire.

You can expect: - Male protagonist focus with occasional Interludes from other perspectives - Genuine romance between the MC and the women in his life - Slow corruption of moral standards, and a kind of gradual, creeping horror, like faces in the corner of the room at night that only grow more distinct as your eyes adjust to the light - Comedy and hijinks!

Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024
