Alice is a middle school student. She is not very friendly with people and she has only one friend. But everything has changed since she was admitted to the drawing club. "A drawing club? Sounds like fun ". But all that was just Alice’s expectations and even vice versa. I'm sorry I'm not very good at English. So sorry if there is a wrong words.

Hope was the girl who lived on the street, with her mother Effie, other homeless people all knew about her, the girl who was dragged onto the streets by her mother, when she was just an infant. But the circumstances behind why they were homeless, was always a mystery , something about her father not caring, or that her family didn't care. There were times were she just didn't know where she was supposed to belong, or who she was supposed to belong to.

A lone dove, white as an angel, flies across the sky. As it glides and soars, it feels a tug beneath its wings. It looks down, and a single tear slips along its fine feathered face. It watches the droplet all the way to the ground, through low-hanging clouds and maneuvering trees, until it lands gracefully on a small green flower, in a small green pot, on a blood-stained windowsill. The dove wavers in the air for just a second before flying far from the house. Though it feels guilt, it doesn't look back.

Excerpt: "Heartbreaking? That's a new one. I've heard people describe my curse as depressing, tragic, unfortunate and even pitiable. But I haven't heard heartbreaking yet. So, your heart breaks for me, then?" "How could it not?!" Effie exclaimed. "I can't even imagine what life must have been like for you! And it makes me angry for you too!" "Oh? Angry?" Effie nodded her head resolutely. "The way everyone talks about you around here, making you sound like a weak and fragile prince. It makes me angry! The only way I can see it is that it would take a very strong person to survive as long as you have while living with so much pain." "I appreciate your kind words," Reign replied sadly, looking down at the floor. "But I don't think they're exactly wrong. I really am weak. I didn't try to survive. I tried to end my own life to escape the suffering." "I don't think that makes you weak," Effie maintained, offering him a gentle smile. "Unless someone has gone through what you have, I don't think they have the right to judge your actions. Although I'm very glad I was there in the forest that day, so I could stop you from ending it all. I, for one, am glad you're still around." Reign's expression relaxed into a warm smile, his eyes now searching Effie's face so deeply that she suddenly became self conscious, and turned her head away to avoid his gaze. "What are you looking at?! Is there something on my face?" "You smiled," Reign replied contentedly. "I think that was the first time I've ever seen you smile. It lights up your face." ------ Euphemia Blackmoore is a witch. And if you didn’t know, that’s a very bad thing to be in the kingdom of Avanthia, where being a witch is completely outlawed and punishable by death. The "Witch Hunt" as it was called, was a royal decree enacted over one-hundred years ago by the royal La Croix family. So then, how did our Euphemia (Effie for short) end up working in the very court of that very same La Croix family who would burn her in the streets without trial if they ever found out her secret? But as it turns out, sitting in the belly of the whale may just possibly be the safest place for Euphemia to be… at last for now, anyway.

Greenfield, a picturesque little town where it rains 85% of the year. Black Pack, home to the indigenous pack in which I reside—unfortunately, also home to werewolves, or rather, wolves as per the legends. When you think about it, you don't imagine a pack of teenagers with hormones raging. Yet, unfortunately, these are our protectors against vampires and corrupted witches. Even Ichabod, who is still a young adult, manages to be reckless, always striking that grumpy macho pose. Idiots who couldn't keep the secret, not even for a 17-year-old teenager, which obviously is me. Nice to meet you, Effie Sagan. - posted on another app with the user of the same name (the orange one with BIG W)

In the world of Vzaltori, a strict caste of Tacts divides society. At the top are the Tact 1 people, royalty blessed with the sinister ability known as Grace Negativity. This power is a manifestation of one's darkest thoughts, transforming them into a soul person—a tangible spirit used in combat. The darker and more selfish one's thoughts, the stronger this soul person becomes. Despite the Tact 1s' outward displays of kindness, all are ultimately driven by greed and ambition, wielding Grace Negativity for personal gain and dominance. Below them are the Tact 2 humans, who possess the power of Infinity Nightmare. Unlike Tact 1, their abilities are fueled by positivity, allowing them to shape the world through elements related to their virtuous thoughts. Still considered elite, Tact 2s are vital to the politics and structure of Vzaltori, and along with Tact 1, they govern the realm with unchecked power. But beyond the elite, the caste structure grows grimmer. From Tact 3 to Tact 7, people are increasingly stripped of rights, dignity, and power. Tact 3 humans create wealth with their Scream Rings, valuable only for supporting the economic structure. Tact 4 wields the Dead Gods ability, a power tied to breath control and combat. Tact 5 splits into two factions: Metal Stoneman, which allows one to manifest drawn objects instantly, and Soul Game, a card game with life-or-death stakes where the victor seizes their opponent's soul. Tact 6 and Tact 7 endure the worst fates, doomed to servitude under those above them. Yet Tact 7, known as Greyborn, wields a terrifying gift—the power to control the time and location of anyone they choose. But the price of using Greyborn's abilities is often death, as it demands unimaginable mental energy. Within this oppressive hierarchy, the school of Chaos Destiny offers a glimmer of hope, providing free education to all who wish to learn additional Tact Bases—different types of Tact powers. However, most parents forbid their children from learning beyond their birth-given Tact Decision, fearing the dangers and burdens it could bring. In the midst of this world, a child named Tone Kayden is born. Raised in a society governed by greed, fear, and oppression, Tone's very existence threatens to upend the established order. In a world where everyone is trapped by their Tact, Tone Kayden is destined to alter the course of Vzaltori forever.
