Fifty years ago, a meteorite struck Earth, unleashing a wave of radiation that changed humanity forever. Mutations spread across the population, gifting some with extraordinary powers. From this chaos emerged six individuals of unparalleled strength, granted the title of "Gods." These powerful beings were each granted a domain—a unique stronghold where other mutants could challenge them for their title. To succeed in slaying a God was to ascend in their place, if successful you are given a special domain of your own. In half a century, only three challengers have claimed a godly title, leaving three of the original Gods still standing. The world remains a fractured and perilous place, dominated by these divine figures and their fiercely contested realms. Banri, an 18-year-old mutant with a fiery determination, has decided to carve his name into history. Tired of a life in the shadows, he sets his sights on dethroning one of the Gods. With his abilities untested against such overwhelming power, Banri embarks on a dangerous journey to rise above all others. The path to godhood is treacherous, but Banri is willing to risk it all to claim his destiny. Will he become a legend—or just another forgotten challenger crushed beneath the might of the Gods?

[Webnovel Rising Star ll Contest] What would you do if you were the younger brother of the number one genius under the heavens? What will you do if you know whatever you do, it will barely be a breeze before the raging flood of your brother's actions? Will you envy him, will you hate him, or will you support him and become a side character of an ever changing dangerous world? This was the situation Eugene found himself at, a boy filled with envy and jealousy toward his brother but also can't help to love him with all his heart. Unfortunately, the world never gave them time to process their complex emotions as things change everyday that seek to not just kill them but destroy their very homeland. This is a world that is barely functioning by the illusion of hope! The more ignorant you are, the more free you are and power comes with responsibility. Knowledge comes with the dangerous realization that the future is bleak and despair is around the corner. Eugene found himself born in a world that ‘Awakened’ as they called it, humans devolved from Apex Predators centuries ago and are barely cattle for the ever evolving beasts and monsters. Two things saved the humans from extinction, and it wasn't their knowledge or weaponry; they are all useless against intelligent beasts that can do better. What saved them was some benevolent beasts that took them as servants, slaves and some as cattle for rearing. The second thing that saved them was the appearance of Gateway that led to various realms in unknown dimensions which aided them to make a pact with willing beasts. They finally gained strength and power and huddled around Gateways and built. Eugene found himself in a race against time as he dived into an unknown dimension, filled with mystery and danger that might have the answers everyone desire.

“I will not be defined as a ‘wolfless deviant’ I will not be a pawn in the 'games Alphas play' And I refuse to be mated to the stranger who crashed into my life and turned everything upside down… Only that might be my biggest challenge yet.” Those were the words Lyla chanted to herself as she left the annual werewolf gala, drenched in her sweat and her pheromones. Only days ago, she was a happy teenager existing in the human world – trying to get through college and go far away, forget everything she’s been through and start life afresh but now, she’s in the middle of the gala, sprawled on the ground with her desires in everyone’s face and Alpha Ramsey Kincaid – the Lycan leader of the White Moon Throne extending his hands towards her. If she takes it, she would bring dishonour to her family because she is in no state to be mingling with anyone, talk more of the Lycan leader who was out of her league and if she refuses, she risks being sent to the pack prison for not taking better care of herself during her heat - Yes, it was a crime for her to be without a wolf. But when he touches her, something inside her stirs… Desires? Yes! Powers hidden by the moon goddess? Yes! And maybe just maybe, the stirrings of her missing wolf whose voice can calm feral wolves and heal … Can she learn to trust this man whose mouth says a different thing and his hands speak another language or would she become a pawn – a piece of chess in the games ‘Alphas play’? One thing’s for certain- Lyla Woodlands was done being the pack’s little, dirty ‘wolfless deviant’. It’s time this wolfless wonder showed them what she’s made of. #Slow burn #Wispy old prophecies # Love Triangle - ML and FL best friend #Villian in love with FL Join my discord group: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4
