Inspired by “ The Untamed ” and “ Word of Honor ” *** “ What's your name?” “.......” “ I want a name. You don't expect me to always address you as “ Hey”, right?” “ I...Wen... Ning. I am Wen Ning. What's yours?” “ You don't know?!” Wen Ning shakes his head in denial, and the young man was taken aback. Everyone knows of his name. Those that don't, probably were living under the rock. The young man sighed heavily. “ Wen Kexing. ” *** Inspired by # The Untamed and # Word Of Honor In a vast world where three distinct planes coexist, each housing its own unique countries, creatures, and spiritual powers, ancient grudges fester between the mortal and spiritual realms. For centuries, the three planes have been locked in a fragile balance, where war is inevitable, and conflict always looms. The planes' inhabitants — from fearsome beasts to wise immortals — have long waged secret battles of power, manipulating the fate of all. For generations, the Neutral Plane, a realm known for its wisdom and tranquility, has been the ultimate peacemaker. Whenever the cataclysmic Ancient War reignites, threatening to destroy everything, this plane has intervened to restore order and preserve life. But the price has always been high, with each intervention taking its toll on the realm’s resources and people. Now, the balance is at risk. The ruler of the Neutral Plane, a formidable and ancient leader, refuses to follow the tradition of his ancestors. This time, he will not step in to save the world. He believes that the conflict between the planes is inevitable and that the past interventions have only prolonged suffering and stagnation. The decision to withdraw from this age-old responsibility sets off a chain of events that could unravel the delicate peace that has held the world together for so long. Will anyone step forward to be the catalyst to reshape the world’s fate, or will they be swept up in the chaos of a war that has no end?

Deep within a cruel jungle where the treetops whisper secrets and the shadows have ancestral power, a young boy named Micheal is 'woken' to a destiny he never pursued. Drafted by the jungle, he is thrown into a world of magic, danger, and mystery where the line of friend and foe blurs with each passing step. It is alive-an old, sprawling force full of beauty and danger. The thing is, it is fractured, too. Beneath the surface teeming with life, darkness brews, ready to consume everything in its path. As Micheal explores this living maze, he finds the jungle's magic is not only a means but an organized, muscular force-one that shapes, empowers, and razes. It has chosen him as its vessel. But this gift comes with a price: every victory that Micheal wins drags him deeper into the web of the jungle, testing his courage, his will, and his very humanity. With such shadowy figures as Vaelor, who wish to twist his purpose, and allies whose guidance is laced with danger, Micheal has to decide if he should give in to the magic of the jungle and lose himself or resist it at the risk of everything else. On one final conflict between the forces of old, Micheal's decisions will seal more than his fate. The balance of the jungle, maybe even the world, rests on his shoulders. A tale of discovery, survival, and sacrifice-this is a journey where even the most insignificant decisions have the potential to echo across a world of magic and mystery. Micheal didn't ask for this road, yet he must walk it. The jungle has called him, and its heart waits for no one.
