Perla had always felt a longing for adventure, stifled by the rules of her strict upbringing and surrounded by her older brothers free to do as they wanted. She longed to carve her own path, to seek out excitement and perhaps even a little romance along the way. One day, while escaping yet another tedious piano class, she stumbled into the hollow of a massive tree. At its base, a mesmerizing green light beckoned her, and before she knew it, she was transported to a bizarre forest teeming with colossal, long-extinct creatures and menacing carnivorous plants. This was the realm of Beastkin, where men could transform into mighty beasts. Here, the constant threat of war had led to a peculiar imbalance, with most females giving birth to male Beastkin, resulting in a dire shortage of women. The land was a battleground, filled with mercenaries and adventurers seeking glory. While the males formed companies to embark on quests, their females stayed behind, living a life of comfort. But not Perla—she was determined to break free from the mold, to grow stronger, and to join her new love interests on exhilarating escapades.

At the Westlake University, Eleanore Salvacion and Santiago Alcaraz have spent years at war-academic titans, intellectual equals, and sworn enemies. They're obsessed with outscoring each other, pushing harder, being better. The rivalry is their everything-until it starts turning into something else. Because if they're supposed to hate each other, then why does Ellie notice the way Sanjo's jaw clenches when she beats him on an exam? Why does Sanjo feel a sick sort of thrill every time she glares at him in a lecture hall? And why does their rivalry feel less like competition and more like foreplay? First, it was grades. Then, it was bodies. Now, it’s something far worse—because rivalry has a way of bleeding into obsession. And no matter how many times they try to walk away, the effect remains: they are each other’s greatest competition… and their greatest downfall. [18+]

Over a thousand years ago, the world was a battlefield. People with different powers fought relentlessly, and war and chaos became a daily routine. It was an age without peace until a mysterious woman—believed by many to be a divine messenger—arrived and changed everything. She proposed a competition to determine the five strongest abilities, and the victors would be crowned as rulers. The competition was fierce and merciless, but in the end, five champions emerged: the Lightning King, the Weapon Nation King, the Fire King, the Ice King, and the Air Queen. As a reward for their triumph, they were gifted special crowns that granted them immortality. The only way they could lose their crowns—and their lives—was by being defeated by their own bloodlines. With their newfound powers, the five rulers created nations, carved out territories, and established family lines. Under their reign, knights, branch leaders, princes, princesses, commanders, generals, and lieutenants formed a new world order. However, as with all things, peace came with its price. There was never good without bad. And now, the paths of the five nations are set to cross again. Which will you choose? The prodigies of the Lightning Nation, the bloodthirsty warriors of the Weapon Nation, the fiery determination of the Fire Nation, the analytical tacticians of the Ice Nation, or the peaceful killers of the Air Nation? All options will be shown in the Five Nations.
