“Hey, Null!” a voice called out. He didn’t look up. He knew who it was—Kael, one of the most obnoxious Gifted kids in the school. Kael sauntered over, a smirk on his face. “What’s the point of you even being here? You’re just taking up space.” Andy kept his eyes on his desk. “I’m here to learn, same as you.” Kael laughed. “Learn what? How to be useless?” He flicked his hand, and a small flame appeared in his palm. “See this? This is power. You’ll never have it.” Andy clenched his fists under the desk but said nothing. Arguing would only make it worse. The teacher walked in, and Kael backed off, but not before shoving Andy’s desk hard enough to knock his books to the floor. He sighed and bent down to pick them up. No one helped him. --- The class dragged on. The teacher droned about mana theory, something Andy found fascinating but couldn’t use. He took notes anyway, scribbling down every detail. Maybe, if he understood how mana worked, he could find a way to level the playing field. “Andy,” the teacher called out, snapping him out of his thoughts. “Can you explain the difference between mana infusion and mana manipulation?” He hesitated. He knew the answer, but he also knew what would happen if he got it right. The Gifted kids hated when he showed them up. “Mana infusion is the process of embedding mana into an object,” he said quietly. “Manipulation is controlling mana directly.” The teacher nodded. “Correct. Good job, Andy.” Kael snorted. “Big deal. He can memorize a textbook. Doesn’t mean he can actually *do* anything.” Andy ignored him, focusing on his notes. He didn’t need Kael’s approval. He didn’t need anyone’s. --- Lunch was worse. He sat alone at a corner table, eating the stale sandwich he’d packed that morning. He could hear the laughter from the other tables, where the Gifted kids sat, showing off their abilities. One girl was levitating her lunch tray, making it spin in the air. Another boy was creating tiny ice sculptures on the table. He ignored them, focusing on his food. But Kael wasn’t done with him. “Hey, Null!” He shouted, walking over with his friends. “You know what’s funny? You’re so weak, you can’t even defend yourself. What happens if a monster attacks? You’ll just die, right?” Andy didn’t look up. “I’ll figure something out.”

"World conquest was never part of the plan." Yu Chen was just an ordinary programmer, slaving away at his desk, fixing bugs for a popular kingdom-building game. His life was a cycle of endless work, sleepless nights, and little appreciation. One fateful night, while struggling to fix a game-breaking bug that granted players an absurd amount of upgrade points, his exhausted heart gave out. But death wasn't the end for Yu Chen. He awoke in a world strangly familiar... he had transmigrated into the very game he had been working on, now inhabiting the body of a notorious tyrant emperor, Arkanos Bloodbane, whose empire was on the brink of destruction. Surrounded by enemies, with rebellions simmering within and war on every front, Yu Chen, now Arkanos, quickly realizes the gravity of his situation. But to his shock, he discovers that he still has access to the game's system interface—complete with the million upgrade points from the bug he had tried to fix! With his knowledge of game mechanics, strategic mind, and a wealth of upgrade points, Arkanos sets out to turn the crumbling empire into an unstoppable force. He begins by summoning legendary heroes, deploying advanced technologies never before seen in this world, and revolutionizing his military and infrastructure. As he pushes his empire to greatness, Arkanos must navigate the treacherous politics of the imperial court, fend off treacherous factions, and outmaneuver the rival nations that seek to destroy him. But with each victory, he realizes that this world is not just a game—it's his new reality. The stakes are higher, the dangers more real, and the consequences of failure more dire than ever.

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC

"Let me take a look." Professor Wright’s voice was calm, professional even, but his touch—steady and assured as he lifted me onto the desk—was anything but ordinary. His hands, broad and strong, lingered just a moment too long on my arm as he steadied me, sending an unwelcome but undeniable shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying not to notice the way his tie loosened slightly as he leaned in or the faint scent of cedarwood and worn pages that seemed to follow him everywhere. He was close enough now that I could see the faint worry lines etched into his brow as he carefully slid the strap of my uniform off my shoulder. "Alina," he said softly, his voice low but tinged with exasperation, "why do you always end up hurt?" His fingers ghosted over the darkened skin near my collarbone, examining it with the precision of someone who cared too much but tried not to show it. "You need to stop being reckless," he murmured, his tone shifting, softer now. "If anyone bullies you again, come to my office, and I’ll deal with them." It was a simple offer, but I had to remind myself, loudly and firmly, that this was my professor. The man responsible for my education, not... whatever my mind was trying to turn him into. "Professor Wright," I started, trying to regain control of the situation—and my racing heart. "This really isn’t a big deal. I can handle myself." His jaw tightened ever so slightly, and for a fleeting moment, I thought he might argue. Instead, he stepped back, his hands falling away from me as if realizing they’d overstayed their welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alina Hart, a sharp-tongued high school senior, hides behind sarcasm and wit to mask the pain of fractured family life.

Tasked by Alina’s older brother Ethan to keep an eye on her, Wright finds himself drawn to the complexity beneath her rebellious exterior. In the backdrop of Shakespearean sonnets and Romantic poetry, Alina and Wright navigate an increasingly fraught connection. What begins as reluctant mentorship soon transforms into a tangled web of forbidden emotions, unspoken words, and an undeniable pull that neither can ignore. Set against the bustling corridors of an urban high school and the quiet corners of a library filled with unspoken confessions, Silent Flames, Forbidden Paths explores the fine line between admiration and desire, duty and vulnerability. As Alina and Wright grapple with their feelings, they must confront their moral boundaries and the cost of their choices. Can they maintain the lines they’ve drawn, or will their emotions blur them beyond recognition?

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

One day, Lee Taeyang, a young and handsome detective in the Seoul Police Department, has just been given a tough new assignment. Despite his young age, he is already known as a talented detective with exceptional martial arts skills. He was appointed to handle a very difficult case that no one has ever managed to solve. The case involves a series of mysterious murders that have terrified the citizens of Seoul. Despite numerous reports and investigations, the culprit always manages to disappear without a trace. The killer is very cunning, always tricking investigators and leaving little evidence. On a cold night, Taeyang received a report that there was another murder in an apartment located in a fairly crowded area. Once on the scene, Taeyang sensed that something was different about this case. With a keen sense, he checked the surroundings and immediately knew that this wasn't just another murder. There was a very neat and mysterious pattern, as if the perpetrator was waiting to be caught. With his advanced martial arts skills, Taeyang didn't just rely on his brain to solve this case. He has to deal with challenging situations, meet secretive people, and solve puzzles that have plagued many detectives before him. However, the deeper he delves, the darker and more complicated the case becomes. In fact, he begins to feel threats from unknown parties who are trying to stop his investigation. The night was getting late, and the temperature outside was getting skin-piercing. Lee Taeyang stood in front of the apartment door, feeling the tension coursing through his body. The dim street lights gave the neighborhood a gloomy feel. He looked around, feeling that something was wrong. When the apartment door opened, a strong smell of fishy odor greeted him. After entering the neat-looking but dark apartment unit, Taeyang looked carefully at every corner of the room. The victim's body was lying on the floor, with very precise wounds. There were no screams, no signs of resistance. It was a familiar method, but still, different. He knew the culprit was highly trained. "This is no ordinary murder," Taeyang muttered, his eyes scrutinizing every detail. Soon, he noticed a message hidden behind the glass of the desk. A strange number was written in red ink, as if giving a clue, but also complicating the situation. Carefully, Taeyang grabbed his cell phone and called his colleagues in the police force to secure the place immediately. He knew this would be a very complicated case and could be dangerous for him. While waiting for the arrival of the forensics team, he thought hard. "What does this number have to do with previous cases?" A feeling of unease began to overcome him. There was something bigger than just this murder. A well-planned death, and a pattern that suggested that this might just be the beginning of something much darker. Taeyang took a deep breath. This was his biggest test as a detective. He had to tread carefully, probe deeper, and uncover who was behind all of this, before it was too late.

"Let me take a look." The handsome professor, with his broad shoulders and powerful muscles, lifted me effortlessly and placed me on the desk. His strong hands gently lowered the strap of my uniform to examine the bruise from training. "Helanie! Why do you always end up hurt?"

I'm Xavier Cromwell, a 21-year-old university student and web novel author. My days are pretty routine—attending classes, managing assignments, and squeezing in time to write my novel "RISE FROM THE ASHES". Today seemed no different, the steady clatter of my keyboard filling the room as I crafted another chapter. But then the doorbell rang, interrupting my flow. DING! I sighed, reluctantly pushing away from my desk and heading to the door. Little did I know, my life was about to take a turn I never saw coming. The moment I opened the door, something—or rather someone—came barreling into me. It was like a pink blur, and before I could even react, I was on the floor, knocked flat by what felt like a human missile. Clutching onto me, the pink rocket—no, a girl, her arms wrapped tightly around me—gazed up with sparkling eyes and, in the sweetest, most endearing voice, she whispered: "I've finally found you, my HUSBAND~" *** Note: The story takes place in an alternate universe, with a different geography and countries.

Please guys, this is a new story and I'm signing it up for a contest. I'll be counting on y'all to help me improve and grow as your support will forever be my inspiration. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! . . . . Duncan stared hardly at the bunch of withering losers he had entrusted with a task. These people had no sense of direction at all. Tapping his fingers impatiently on the smooth mahogany desk, Duncan asked the same question again, this time... his voice took a colder tone. "Why, pray tell, haven't you found a suitable candidate to work as my Pearl's Nanny?" The middle aged man gulped hardly as he tried to find an answer to this nerve wracking question. He also found it weird how this man talked like he was from the ancient Greek times. Duncan Lloyd had everything there was to wish for, or did he? Then why was it so hard to find a suitable Nanny for his kids. His kids who were equally as complicated as him. Who then would be able to tame them? And how?

Maya prophesied that December 21, 2012 would be the end of the world. On this day, some people were anxious and afraid of not seeing the sun the next day. More people held a playful attitude and celebrated with their loved ones in the early morning night, waiting for dawn to celebrate their safe passage through the end. The next day, the sun rose as usual, and people only thought that God was joking with everyone, working and living as usual. But they were too happy too early. The end has already quietly arrived, but they have been adapted to the harsh environment, unable to see the green mountains turn into yellow soil, and flowers and birds disappear; Unable to see the clear river turning into a foul smelling canal, fish and shrimp are dying; Unable to see grassland turning into desert, land howling According to the Observatory, there was a once-in-a-millennium meteor shower in the early morning of December 21, 2020. Many places can be seen with the naked eye, with young men and women rushing to tell each other, eagerly anticipating this romantic meteor shower. At midnight, the long-awaited miracle finally appeared. The moon, which had been hard to see for a long time, descended like a silver plate, clear and bright, right in front of me But then people were extremely frightened.

In the year 1018 of the Heavenly Golden Dragon Calendar, the Riverscale Academy hums with life, where young aspirants of the Riverscale Clan seek to master the ancient art of Vein-Weaving—a spiritual connection between the physical body and the life-force known as World Qi. Among these individuals stands Xianlu Koichi, a prodigy with a lineage clouded by hardship and limitations, but fueled by an unyielding resolve to rewrite his destiny. Xianlu’s journey begins within the hallowed halls of Riverscale Academy, where his uncle Yuhen Koichi, a scholar of immense wisdom despite his frail body, imparts ancient tales of the Tea Koi—magical koi infused with the essence of different teas, revered for their power to protect harmony. These stories, filled with battles against the malevolent beasts, inspire Xianlu not just to study, but to transcend his own limitations. For while his veins may falter in conventional cultivation, his mind and understanding of Vein-Weaving offer him a unique path forward—a way to forge a legacy that resonates with the spirit of the legendary Tea Dragons. Through trial and sacrifice, Xianlu discovers his place among the students of Riverscale, earning respect through his keen intellect and compassion. Unlike others born with noble bloodlines, Xianlu relies on the purity of his heart and the unbreakable connection to World Qi. His vision goes beyond power—he seeks to help others who have been told they are unworthy, to carve a space for those deemed ‘less than’ in a society obsessed with lineage and strength. Yet, as Xianlu continues to grow, a deeper destiny stirs within him. It is in the crucible of hardship and failure that he awakens as something more—a master puppeteer of fate itself. Through the mastery of Virtue as his weapon, Xianlu perfects the Riverscale Clan according to his will, reshaping its future with wisdom and compassion. His threads of destiny are not bound by strength alone, but by the subtle manipulation of balance, weaving a new era where the marginalized rise, and harmony is restored through unity.

Year 2102 of the Old Earth Calendar. Humanity left their home planet, earth, to traverse the stars once the space ship technology evolved to a sufficient extent. The era know as the Era of the space travel was born with the conquest of the solar system.Many years passed after the beginning of said era, and all of humanity, which had unified into a single banner, conquered a myriad of star systems and became a massive power that fiercely defied the many dangers of space, an hegemonic power which no other race, either primitive of technologically advance, could defend against. This remained like this for hundreds of years, until president Alberich rose to power in the year 2504. Alberich Geisburg, elected president of the Unified Humanity, was not satisfied with his position. He found the chains of the democratic system irritating, so he seized all the power for himself through violence, which led to the division of humanity into multiple nations. From this conflict three powers were initially created. The Geisburg Empire, with the self proclaimed Emperor Alberich Von Geisburg and his dynasty leading it. The new Republic of Humanity, which followed the democratic system used by the now destroyed Unified Humanity. And the Commerce Territory of Shenbaun, born from the alliance between large corporations and named after their primary star system. This initiated the Era of galactic conflict, which lasted 400 years. The war between these three nations led to the creation of Frame Constructs, simply called Frames by most. Infantry and common armored vehicles were not sufficient, so humanoid weapons were the next step, and this technology revolutionized war and daily life. Frames became an irreplaceable piece of equipment for all three nations. From Worker Frames, which were used for agriculture, mining and construction, to Infantry Frames which waged war in small numbers and destroyed enemy fleets and defenses with ease. The incorporation of Frames increased the war efforts, and also its brutality. After this, many changes occurred. The Frame technology development race between corporations generated internal conflict between the corporations that formed the Commerce Territory of Shenbaun, which eventually caused the dissolution of said faction, giving birth to hundreds of corporate star systems that control a vast amount of stars, constantly in conflict with each other. The brutal and authoritarian nature of the Geisburg Empire caused multiple revolutions within the border systems, which eventually became kingdoms of their own. Among these kingdoms the most prominent, which remain until today, are the Hiers, Padparadscha and Luminose Kingdoms, along many minor kingdoms. The empire lost a lot of its territory because of the revolutions, which at the time, caused everyone to believe that the New Republic of Humanity would win the war against them, but a sudden event prevented this. About a third of the Republic territory was lost when multiple star systems declared independence, the Republic, which knew they couldn't afford to fight at two fronts of war at the same time, had no option but to recognize their independence. These now independent star systems joined and became the Holy Adamant Dukedom, a wholly religious nation that followed the principles of their newborn religion. The dissolution of one of the three major powers, and the loss of territory and power of the remaining two caused the war to come to a halt, and it was in this period that the new generation of Frames was born. The Vanguard Frames, also known as the gods of war.Giant machines with the power to annihilate standard fleets and battalions of Infantry Frames, upon the creation of Vanguard Frames all the nations poured their efforts into the development of this technology, preparing themselves for the inevitable war that was sure to come. Currently is the year 3072, and were now in the middle of the Era of Gods, named after the Vanguard Frames.

He grabbed her hand and turned her to him. She tried struggling but his hold was firm, " you are mine Audrey, whether you like it or not, you are mine" He groaned the words to her. " no I'm not" That only made him chuckle and then carried her to his desk. Acting like a caveman possessed, he moved all things on his desk to the floor violently. " You shall serve your husband as you should, right on this desk" He said and smirked before pecking her on the cheek. Audrey had goosebumps from his touch but she could not summit so willingly like she craved him. " Aiden, stop" her words came out like a whisper but he heard her. " No man on earth can stop me from having you little Audrey " With that, he started ravishing her right on his desk.

The grand doors of Edelweiss Swordschool creaked open, revealing a vast courtyard surrounded by towering spires and the impressive silhouette of the castle. Lein stood at the entrance, his eyes wide with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. He adjusted the cloak around him, feeling the warmth of the earring given to him by his father's old swordmaster. As he stepped forward, a hand clapped down on his shoulder, causing him to turn. A fellow student, a girl of his age with fiery red hair and a mischievous glint in her eyes, grinned at him. "Hey there, new kid! You must be Lein, right?" she said with a playful tone. Lein gave a nod, managing a small smile. "Yes, that's me. Lein von Hrunting." "I'm Elara. Welcome to Edelweiss!" She gestured to the sprawling campus. "Come on, I'll show you around and help you get settled." As they strolled through the courtyard, Elara pointed out the training grounds, the library, and the various towers where students attended classes. Lein couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the school. "So, why did you come here?" Elara asked, glancing at him. Lein hesitated for a moment before replying, "My father believes I might have a talent for being a Spellblade, like him. He arranged for me to study here." "Ah, a Spellblade! That's impressive. You'll be training with the best of the best," she said with a grin. "That being said, you'll be expected to beat them if that is truly your goal." They reached the entrance of the castle, and Elara opened the door for Lein. The interior was just as imposing as the exterior, with polished marble floors and towering pillars. As they walked through the corridors, Lein couldn't shake the feeling that all eyes were on him. Elara led him to a room with a wooden door bearing the emblem of Edelweiss. "This is your room," she announced, pushing the door open. Inside, Lein found a neatly arranged space with a comfortable bed, a small desk, and a window that offered a view of the surrounding mountains. His luggage was already placed by the bed. "Your stuff arrived earlier. We've got a few hours before the welcoming ceremony, so take your time settling in. If you need anything, I'll be around." Elara said, giving him a friendly wave before heading out. Alone in his new room, Lein took a deep breath. This was the beginning of a new chapter in his life. As he unpacked his belongings, he couldn't help but wonder what challenges and adventures awaited him at Edelweiss Swordschool. Little did he know, the journey ahead would test not only his skills but also the mysterious power that lay dormant within him. The cloak of anonymity provided by the earring would prove to be both a blessing and a curse in the days to come.

I looked at death. Death looked at me. “I wasn’t expecting you to come like this…”death finally says. “Right, I wasn’t expecting it either… oh well, so am i going to be vanquished now?”, I calmly asked back. After staring at me for what felt like hours, he quietly mumbled, “ 1500 years ago, you helped me, it’s only right that i return this favour now.” “Hahaha! Are you pitying me, little brat? There’s no need though. I was getting tired of playing a puppet to those annoying bastards since a long time ago.” “You have always been an eccentric one, Chief Terra”, he sighed as he stared intently at me. “Quit staring. Hurry up and get done with the procedures. I really want to get some rest now.” “I can pull some tricks you know. , Death slowly looked away from me as he took out a greyish blue fountain pen and resumed his duties. “Ugh! Just seeing you like this reminds me of the old days as a pushover that only worked her wings off on that holy desk...Can you just start the vanquished already” Hearing my complains, Death’s hands slightly paused before he started scribbling again. “I found a loophole in the rules book sometime ago…it said that “ A mistake can be overlooked if the creator of that world itself takes responsibility by going in it and makes a unique change that changes the genre of the world and gives the readers a satisfactory ending.” “I have to listen to this gibberish rules and regulations even after I resigned! Wow!”, I didn’t flinch and kept looking back at this seven headed horse who looked like it wanted to scam me of my ticket to eternal rest. . . . I shouldn’t have agreed to that damn swindler! I should have noticed something was off when he started talking about loopholes in the Transmigration Bureau Regulations Book! I got transmigrated into the ultimate mistake of my career - “Regressing Until I Become God Again” !!! Thanks to creating the world of that novel i became the first ever God to almost create a god…which obviously went horribly wrong due to unknown reasons. Ever since then, my life as the chief of the World Creating Department of the transmigration bureau took a cosmic decline. I finally couldn’t stand it any longer and decided to resign. I felt eternal rest would be better than working as a chief who was looked down on by the enter bureau due to that incident. I had a few regrets from back then when I banished the male lead of the world into the black hole when he went on a rampage after almost becoming a god. I didn’t wish for that to happen cause i was the one who made him and that world. And now here i am, “Scale of Heavenly Virtues and Sins ” Chief Terra, an ex- transmigration bureau god instead of being rewarded eternal rest after resigning, i was transmigrated as the missing fiancé of the male lead who dies at the beginning of the novel.

At the dawn of the New Era Calendar, humanity broke free from the confines of Earth and established a new order beyond the Milky Way. In this vast expanse of the stars, filled with both the unknown and hope, humanity witnessed rapid technological advancements and unprecedented expansion of its civilization. The annihilation of the insectoid race was celebrated as a historic victory, with the Earth Celestial Force securing its dominance. Meanwhile, corporate giants seized the opportunity to stretch their influence to far-off galaxies, exploiting resources and colonizing new worlds, propelling humanity into an era of unparalleled interstellar prosperity. Yet, beneath the veneer of progress lay hidden perils. Driven by greed and ambition, humanity neglected to respect the unknown. An exploratory fleet, jointly deployed by the Earth Celestial Force and corporate alliances, inadvertently ventured into a mysterious, energy-laden star system. There, they uncovered an ancient ruin, seemingly belonging to a species far older and more powerful than the insectoid race. However, the activation of this relic awakened a dormant threat buried deep in the cosmic void. The remnants of the insectoid race began to resurface, having evolved far beyond any prior records. Worse still, a new horror emerged—massive creatures known as Star Beasts. Star Beasts, colossal entities comparable in size to small planets, possess the power to obliterate fleets and consume worlds. Their behavior defies all known patterns, yet it seems to be driven by a purpose that transcends biological instinct. Their arrival disrupted the fragile balance of the universe and fractured the tenuous alliances within human civilization. Under the pressure of dwindling resources and escalating conflict, corporate factions began pursuing their own interests, while the Earth Celestial Force struggled to rally the scattered powers of humanity to resist the twin threats of the insectoids and the Star Beasts. As the war escalated, more secrets about the Star Beasts came to light. These creatures were likely not products of natural evolution but creations of an intelligence beyond human comprehension. Additionally, the resurgence of the insectoids revealed a shocking truth: they were never humanity’s ultimate enemy but merely pawns in a far greater cosmic game. Faced with the dual crises of internal division and external invasion, humanity must find a way to strike a balance. Will they persist in their path of expansion and conquest, or will they choose to coexist with the unknown? The answer lies in a final, decisive battle that will determine the survival of their civilization.

"At one point in the universe, in the year 1 of the cosmic calendar, everything was empty. After a while, the emptiness collided, creating black and white holes that moved apart for millions of years. Inside these holes, particles combined, forming the Supergalaxy 1. Due to the black hole's destructive nature, everything nearby was destroyed. Trillions of years passed until the black and white holes reunited. As the white hole approached the black hole, it disintegrated and merged with it, triggering the Supergalaxy 1 explosion, creating the galaxy. Within this galaxy lies a planet where our story begins, about nine elemental users with different goals, marking the beginning of our world."

In the year 0146, a century after the cataclysmic event known as The END Apocalypse, humanity has rebuilt a world more advanced than ever before and resets their calendar. Once torn apart by a war between mythical beasts—the mighty dragons and leviathans—the Earth’s landscape has been forever reshaped, and monsters born from the rage and negativity of that war continue to haunt civilization. Peace was briefly restored by a group of elite warriors known as the Pacifiers, who harnessed a new and mysterious form of battle arts beyond human imagination. Their efforts quelled the mythical creatures, but now they face a new, darker challenge: the monstrous creatures that emerged from the apocalypse’s aftermath. To protect humanity, the Pacifiers formed global associations, fighting relentlessly to keep these malevolent forces at bay. Despite advanced technology and progress, the human world is still plagued by the ancient problems of inequality, poverty, and social unrest. Amid this fractured world is Ken, an orphan whose harsh upbringing has left him with little hope for the future. That is, until he encounters Beni, one of the strongest Pacifiers of the current era, and Ken's master. With his guidance, Ken’s life takes an unexpected turn as he is thrust into a world of battle, monsters, and political intrigue, where he must discover his own strength and purpose. The balance between peace and destruction hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the monsters may hold the key to humanity’s future. In a world caught in a deadlock between hope and despair, Ken must rise above his past and find his way to his unknown future.
