Warp

In a world overshadowed by eternal darkness, monstrous creatures born from meteorite fragments have ravaged humanity, forcing survivors underground into a colony devoid of light. Among them is Zami Agatoru, a young man burdened by tragedy and destined for greatness. Once a promising warrior of his clan, Zami was the sole survivor of a monster attack that claimed his family and clan. Now, he dwells in the vast, oppressive underworld, facing unimaginable horrors while seeking redemption and purpose. Zami’s strength stems not from supernatural powers but from years of relentless training and a cursed ability: revival. Upon death, Zami revives moments before his defeat, retaining memories and honing his skills over countless lifetimes. This ability has allowed him to surpass human limits, evolving both mind and body into the perfect warrior. Armed with a black katana forged from an otherworldly stone and a toxic dagger he crafted from monster bones, Zami ventures deeper into the colony. He faces terrifying Vessels, avatars of powerful entities tied to the meteorites. Each Vessel wields devastating abilities, challenging Zami’s resolve and pushing him beyond his physical and mental limits. As Zami progresses, he unravels the colony's dark secrets: the origin of the meteorites, the true nature of the Vessels, and the essence of the creatures that worship these fragments. Along the way, he uncovers the deeper truth about himself and the entity that dwells within him—Karesh, a being tied to the meteorite’s power. Driven by the need to protect humanity and confront the Vessels, Zami faces impossible odds. From the Abyssal Cradle, home of the fearsome Wailing Dread, to the Forsaken Hollow, where the Silent Agony’s true body lies, and the Withering Spire, where Shattered Dominion warps reality itself, Zami battles creatures that defy logic. Amid this chaos, Zami grapples with his humanity. His stoic, emotionless demeanor hides a young man carrying the weight of loss and duty. Moments of quiet—crafting weapons, preparing food, or reflecting on his clan’s philosophy—highlight his depth and resilience. Through countless revivals, bloody battles, and grueling challenges, Zami inches closer to his ultimate goal: destroying the meteorite fragments and ending the monsters’ reign. But with each battle, the cost of his journey grows heavier, forcing him to confront the essence of sacrifice, mortality, and the question of what it truly means to be human.

In a world where magic isn’t just a tool but the very fabric of existence, young Poll Nightvale is about to flip the script—and maybe the universe—on its head. Don’t let his unassuming name fool you. Poll is no background character. Behind that innocent, wide-eyed look lies a sneaky bastard with manipulation skills sharp enough to sell ice to a frost giant. Combine that with badass scientific know-how, and you’ve got someone who can outwit a council of wizards and build a mana-powered doomsday device before breakfast. When Poll awakens to his dormant mana powers, he quickly learns that magic isn’t all sparkles and fun. It’s unruly, chaotic, and dangerously addictive—kind of like him. But instead of sticking to the traditional methods, Poll decides to chart his own course, blending arcane arts with cutting-edge science to create something entirely new. Of course, this path is littered with explosive experiments, accidental genius, and more than a few plans that sound insane… until they work. Things take a dark turn when Poll stumbles upon mana corruption, a sinister force that twists and warps everything it touches. This isn’t just a challenge—it’s a world-ending catastrophe in the making. But does Poll panic? Nope. He smirks, rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work. Armed with his sharp mind, dubious charm, and a team of loyal (and occasionally exasperated) companions, he sets out to tackle the impossible. At his side are his fiercely protective mother, Seraphina; his stoic, sword-wielding father, Eryndor; and his chaotic crew of allies—Lira, the fire-obsessed wizard who believes “more flames” is always the answer; Kaida, the silent assassin who lets her blade do the talking; and Elowen, the gentle shield mage with untapped power and unshakable resolve. Together, they face a world where allies can’t always be trusted, enemies lurk in the shadows, and Poll’s questionable plans are often their best hope. As Poll grapples with the forces of mana and his own chaotic ambitions, he learns that being a hero isn’t about playing by the rules. It’s about bending them, breaking them, and occasionally rewriting them entirely. Because when the stakes are this high, and the odds this slim, you need someone who can think outside the box—and maybe set it on fire for good measure. Join Poll Nightvale on a journey of explosive discovery, cunning schemes, and chaotic brilliance as he forges his destiny, one sneaky move at a time. In a world teetering on the edge of destruction, he’s not just a beacon of hope—he’s the unpredictable spark that sets everything into motion.

Three times the universe has begun with a bang, and twice it ended with the stars being devoured by something that does not exist. The third time, however, something that *should not have existed* hijacked the process. 729 eternal proto-stars now orbit the Cornerstone of all Creation, in which sleeps Arius, the Arbiter of the fifteen dimensions Creation exists in, and Nobody; as Guardian of the Non-Euclidean Infinite Archive, existing outside of reality... isolated . Across those fifteen dimensions which the two watch over; preside "Bearers of Sparks," or "Exceptions," empowered by the myriad stars, and metaphysical influence, spread across the multiverse. Beings across all fifteen dimensions are bound by a plethora of things, but first and foremost aside from causality is something called "The First Anomaly," which exists in all dimensions simultaneously. The dimension it is observed in will shift reality in accordance with a number of precepts, which are determined by the second most prominent binding aspect of the Third Cycle: "The Rule of Three." The Rule of Three is the physical formation of a paranormal law of nature, which acts as a causal filtration device. It also has a secondary function, which allows for Exceptions to offset and utilize any amount of energy in flux by bypassing the typical side-effects of thermodynamic energy transfer as we understand it. This is not to be confused for magic, because magic has a cost. This isn't reality bending/warping in the conventional sense either, as it's not bending the whole of reality but a singular aspect in a nigh-infinite multitude of potential ways, with 100% energy efficiency in cost/effectiveness/application which those who are not Exceptions cannot replicate without multiple sponsorships. This story follows an abnormality above anomalies; an Exception among Exceptions, a Transmigrator from the other side of an otherwise impassable wall, by the name of Lee Kühren.

In the small town of Ravenswood, an ancient well has long been the center of local legends, whispered to be cursed and tied to strange disappearances. For Evie Hart, the well is more than a story—it’s the last place her father, a historian obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the town’s myths, was seen before vanishing without a trace. All that remains of him is a journal filled with cryptic sketches and notes about a labyrinth said to lie beneath the earth. Years later, five estranged childhood friends—Evie, Sophie, Mark, Liam, and Claire—receive a mysterious letter calling them back to the well at midnight. The letter promises answers to the unresolved guilt, secrets, and tragedies that fractured their friendship years ago. Though reluctant, each feels compelled to reunite, drawn by their own personal struggles and the letter’s haunting allure. Beneath the well, they discover the labyrinth: a vast, sentient structure that feeds on guilt, betrayal, and fear. Its ever-shifting halls present not only physical challenges but psychological trials that force the group to confront their darkest secrets. As they navigate its twisted passages, the friends begin to uncover the labyrinth’s horrifying truth: it was created by a man obsessed with rewriting reality, and it thrives on the very emotions that threaten to tear them apart. With every step, the labyrinth grows more dangerous, dredging up memories of a traumatic event from their childhood—the disappearance of Sophie’s younger sister, Amy. As guilt and blame resurface, the group’s fragile trust begins to fracture. Secrets are revealed, alliances shift, and the labyrinth manipulates them, whispering offers of salvation at a terrible cost. Amid the chaos, Evie discovers her father’s connection to the labyrinth and realizes that his disappearance was no accident. The labyrinth remembers those who enter—and it never forgets. Liam, plagued by fragmented memories, comes to a devastating conclusion: he has been in the labyrinth before and may have unwittingly triggered the events that destroyed their friendship. The ultimate challenge awaits at the heart of the labyrinth. To escape, the group must make an impossible choice: sacrifice one of their own or risk being trapped forever. As tensions reach a breaking point, Liam steps forward to atone for his past mistakes, offering himself to the labyrinth. His sacrifice allows the others to escape—but not without consequences. When the group emerges, they find the world subtly altered. Familiar landmarks are gone, and even loved ones’ memories of them seem warped. As they grapple with the eerie changes, Evie receives another letter: “The labyrinth remembers. You’ve only solved one piece.” It becomes clear that the labyrinth’s power extends far beyond its walls—and it’s not done with them yet. Key Themes: Guilt and Redemption: The labyrinth forces the characters to confront the consequences of their past mistakes, testing their ability to forgive themselves and each other. Friendship and Trust: The group’s fractured bond is central to the story, with the labyrinth amplifying their mistrust and fears. The Cost of Secrets: Each character harbors a secret that the labyrinth manipulates, demonstrating the dangers of buried truths.

In 2056, humanity reached unparalleled technological heights, transforming every aspect of life: energy, medicine, agriculture, and waste management. Flying cars filled the skies, vertical farms fed the population, and de-atomizers eliminated pollution by recycling waste at the molecular level. Environmental restoration flourished, with forests thriving and oceans crystal clear. Medicine eradicated once-incurable diseases, while cities became futuristic hubs of innovation. Humanity’s crowning achievement was a warp device capable of instantaneous space travel. Its first test, transporting a crew to Mars, brought worldwide celebration. For a year, the utopia thrived. However, in June 2057, a catastrophic energy surge at Vitus, the world’s largest research laboratory, unleashed chaos. An explosion tore open a rift in the sky, revealing an unknown dimension. From it emerged grotesque creatures, detectable only by energy signatures. Initially dormant, the first creature adjusted to Earth’s atmosphere, emitting a wail that shattered glass and sent signals back through the rift. More creatures followed, adapting rapidly. The military deployed advanced weaponry, successfully destroying many invaders, but the creatures’ ability to regenerate and evolve rendered these efforts futile. As rifts multiplied, the infestation spread globally, consuming resources and overwhelming defenses. The world’s leaders, desperate to stop the invasion, resorted to nuclear strikes on Vitus. The resulting explosions eradicated everything in the area but failed to close the rifts. Instead, the creatures emerged stronger, impervious to radiation and physical damage. The population dwindled as humans retreated underground, facing starvation, sickness, and despair. Months passed, and humanity teetered on extinction. Underground conditions worsened, driving some to insanity and others to suicide. Above, the creatures evolved further, developing flight and intelligence rivaling humans. Attempts to escape into space were thwarted as the creatures pursued and destroyed fleeing ships. The Earth became a desolate wasteland, with 60% of humanity wiped out. One fateful day, the creatures abruptly abandoned their rampage, flying back into the rift. Survivors, weak and malnourished, were astonished as their health miraculously improved. The barren land began to regenerate, sprouting unusual plants that emitted warmth and vitality. Rivers flowed again, forests grew, and nature reclaimed its dominion over the planet. A radiant light descended from the sky, bringing peace and signaling the restoration of Earth. This mysterious force, named Aldis, was hailed as humanity’s savior. In this transformed world, humanity adapted to a simpler way of life. Unified by a common language, they learned to coexist with nature and fend off new apex predators. Resources were abundant, and sickness and famine were eradicated. Over time, humans embraced this balance, renaming their reborn planet Aldeloria, a testament to the resilience of life and the miracles of nature.

Organica-Mechanus: Devil in a shell. Ōganika = mekanasu: Kara o kabutta akuma. オーガニカ＝メカナス：殻を被った悪魔。 In the year 2086, the dwindling remnants of humanity, elves, dwarves, and beastkin find themselves locked in a tumultuous conflict against an unknown race codenamed the 'Discarnum,' that has completely ravaged the continents of Arema, Elionios, Dwui and Besettia, leaving only the untouched peninsula of Uretia as the final bastion of hope. Humanity, elves, dwarves, and beastkin find themselves locked in a tumultuous conflict against an unknown force codenamed the 'Discarnum,' that has completely ravaged the continents of Arema, Elionios, Dwui and Besettia, leaving only the untouched peninsula of Uretia as the final bastion of hope behind its thick walls, shields, and advanced defence systems. The Discarnum, devouring everything and anyone they come in contact with, including the land itself, left a desolation in their wake; cities and capitals of melted stone, warped steel, and charred bones now inherit the forbidden lands, where only a thick miasma of death and all that remains are monsters beyond the veil, leaving no room for life to grow. Aware of the impending doom, the greatest minds of all four nations formed the 'Coalition' in 2086, where the four became one and spearheaded the development of a new weapon system. With man's ingenuity, elven knowledge, dwarven craftsmanship, and the beastkin's spirit, they forged suits of living mechanised armour. Born from the labour of near extinction and desperation, the 'Organica-Mechanus' was created, and with it a dark, terrifying secret that had been buried. Governed and wielded only by the strongest and most iron-willed of the four races, weapons of immense power forged ahead, cutting into the darkness, giving the coalition a much-needed foothold in a one-sided war to push back against the Discarnum and gain ground for the first time in ten years.  Three years have passed; there was hope for light to thrive in 2089, but within that hope, shadows of the past would emerge. Beyond the reclaimed zone, a new horror would awaken; in that silence of death and despair, three words would shake the very core of the coalition: "WE ARE COMING..." In the fear of the end, something would be awoken, a sin beyond sins, a monster of monsters, a devil of devils...  "I have become the creator of demons, the destroyer of angels. I pray that one day they can forgive me, for I cannot forgive myself... for I am the one that has cracked the Devil in a Shell and set it free." Yaiku Ui -:Creator of the Organicus Interface.

The Soulwheels govern the essence of every existence, with each wheel representing a step toward unlocking one's true potential. As the number of wheels grows, so does a person's power—each step closer to greatness, each step harder than the last. Those who master the Wheels of their existence and comprehend the runes that program the universe are said to control not just their fate, but the very fabric of existence itself, ascending to divinity as a Runeweaver. ..... Kael, having never realized the absurdity of his cheat-like ability, watched his classmates struggle to comprehend even the most basic Rune. Meanwhile, he glanced at the intricate patterns of the Rune Circle he had created effortlessly. Their teacher, a Grandmaster Runeweaver, stared at him in utter disbelief. “Holy—! You’re done comprehending the Rune Structure?!” the man exclaimed, his voice filled with shock. “But it’s barely been an hour!” The others froze, their eyes darting between Kael and the glowing Rune Circle in front of him. Their expressions ranged from astonishment to sheer terror. 'Monster', everyone thought in their hearts. Looking at the faces of disbelief in front of him, Kael thought helplessly, 'It didn’t even take a second.'

The emergence of the rifts happened nearly two decades ago. The phenomenon began suddenly and without warning, when strange, iridescent cracks appeared in the skies, tearing open the fabric of reality itself. From these rifts came a tide of monsters—creatures from alternate dimensions, hostile and terrifying, that wreaked havoc across the globe. Many countries were overwhelmed by the initial wave, with entire armies decimated within days. The rifts were not just a source of danger—they were also a source of power. Beyond the creatures that spilled out into the world, the rifts carried with them a strange energy. This energy, known as Mana, was a vital force that could enhance the natural world in strange and dangerous ways. As Mana seeped into the Earth, the very laws of nature began to warp, leading to the rise of Awakened humans. Awakened individuals—those who could tap into the Mana from the rifts—became the new power in the world. These individuals could summon, tame, and control monsters from the rifts, and they gained unique abilities through their bond with these creatures. In essence, the rifts reshaped humanity, making beast tamers, mages, and other talented individuals the new elite. But the rifts didn’t only give power—they also brought chaos. Wild rifts—unstable portals—began opening in random locations, pouring out monsters of various sizes and ranks. The world had to adapt quickly, and the rise of Beast Taming Academies was a direct response to this new threat. The Academies became the cornerstone of humanity’s survival, training young tamers to capture and control the creatures from the rifts, creating an intricate society where strength, control, and evolution were all crucial to survival. Kaito knew that his journey was about more than just taming beasts—it was about understanding the rifts themselves. What caused them? Why had they suddenly appeared? And what was their true connection to the monsters that now roamed the world?

Kiyoshi, once known as the feared Demon of Calamity, vanished during the war after unleashing untold destruction. Presumed dead, Kiyoshi awakens centuries later, a shadow of his former self.

With his past slowly catching up to him, Kiyoshi must face the darkness within himself and decide whether he will be the world’s saviour or its doom.

When Eri, a Gothic Lolita demon born from the Core’s influence, emerges from the shadows to protect her, Marisol embarks on a harrowing journey of survival. Hunted by cultists who worship the Core, pursued by a determined scientist seeking to harness her powers for salvation, and haunted by her growing connection to a cosmic battle between light and dark, Marisol must uncover the truth of her existence. Guided by Aiden, a detective whose unwavering belief in her challenges her darkest instincts, Marisol resists the whispers of the Core. But every step closer to freedom pulls her deeper into the eternal conflict between Sylva, the guardian of the Tree of Life, and the Core’s remnants. As the lines between hero and villain blur, Marisol faces an impossible choice: to surrender to the Core’s influence or carve her own path at a devastating cost.

Kaine Velar was a young, unremarkable Gatekeeper assigned to a remote outpost, guarding a Nexus Gate on the fringes of the multiverse. But when a mysterious force causes the gate to collapse, Kaine is thrust into a fractured, unstable world. The Nexus, a network of interconnected realms that has maintained the balance of countless universes for eons, is now falling apart. Struggling to survive in a multiverse teetering on the brink of destruction, Kaine discovers that he is no mere bystander.

As Kaine journeys across warped realms, facing dangerous creatures, ancient enemies, and unexpected allies, he begins to unlock the secrets of the Nexus’ collapse. But the more he learns, the more he realizes that the chaos may be the result of something far darker—and far more personal—than he ever imagined. To restore balance, Kaine must confront his own hidden past and decide whether he can truly shape the future, or if he is merely another pawn in a cosmic game of fate.
