Shattered Throne

Alaire, an ordinary 17-year-old boy who lives with his grandma, gets a mirror and finds himself in a different world where he experiences all sorts of things and finds out information that was kept a secret from him for years alongside his feathered companion Hewie and others.

What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. Blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is? This is the path Aramith must brave. But does he truly know what lies ahead? Do his companions know what they are yet to face? They may never know, but the world they love might just be a small fragment, a piece of a bigger plan.

In the mist laden depths of the The Veil of Whispers, a forgotten prophecy stirs. Long ago, the mad sorceress Selena Nightbane nearly unleashed Nexas, the Abyssal Maw, an ancient horror that would have devoured the world. Only through the sacrifice of six legendary warriors was she sealed within the Obsidian Spire, and Nexas cast into the void. But no prison lasts forever. Now, the signs of awakening are everywhere blood moons stain in the sky, the lost whisper from the shadow, and the cursed forest calls for its champions. At the hearth of this storm stands Ethan Vale, a young man marked by fate. Upon his palm glows a prismatic hexagram, a sigil of untold power that burns with vision of the apocalypse. To prevent the return of Nyx'thar, Ethan must gather the six chosen warriors, each bearing a fragment of the shattered hexagram's light. They must brave deadly trails, unravel Selena Nightbane's twisted past, and face the abyss that seeks to reclaim the world. But the final battle looms, one truth remains uncertain are they destined to save the world, or are they merely the key to unsealing is doom? The whispers are calling. The darkness is awakening. And time is running out.

A short story about the last living heir of an empire shattered by war.

A beautiful woman named Seira, participated in the selection as a royal servant. She was chosen to be a servant of the royal family, especially the Emperor's family. She worked as a servant very well, and followed all the orders of the Emperor and other royal members. But one day, she was sent to serve three of the Emperor's knights who were known to be very cruel and dangerous. Three men who were feared by everyone because they were like dogs ready to take orders from their master, no matter what. "My name is Seira, I was sent from the palace to treat you and serve what you need while in this mansion." Seira was placed to do everything they needed, even including what they wanted. However, Seira's arrival made the leader of the knights curious about her. "You're very different from all the servants sent to serve us. You're not like those who leave scared," said their leader, Harvey Van Desmond. That raised a question, especially considering how Seira never showed the slightest fear of them unlike when everyone was scared even hearing their names. It was all because of a goal she had all along to get back into the palace. However, what was her reason for doing so? "Who are you, Seira?"

Amura Arrancar never believed in fate. As an orphan abandoned in the streets of Brixton, life had taught him one thing—hope was a lie. The world didn’t reward the strong or the smart. It simply crushed those who had nothing. And now, it was his turn to be erased. Cornered in a dead-end alley, blades gleaming under the dim glow of a streetlight, death was certain. If there was a God, He had long since turned His back. But then, time stopped. A message flickered before his eyes: "Player acknowledged. Do you wish to be the ECLIPSE of another world? Decline, and your heart will stop in 0.05 seconds." No explanation. No second chances. Just a choice that wasn’t a choice at all.

From the ruins, a mysterious figure unlocked the power to merge magic and technology, forever altering the course of humanity. Now, traditional weapons are obsolete. Instead, nations wield an army of "mages"-individuals enhanced with brain-implanted chips at the age of 18, capable of wielding devastating power. They are no longer just soldiers or weapons. They are the new nuclear arsenal, a force so potent they have become both humanity's greatest threat and its most precarious safeguard. As the world teeters on the edge of a new kind of destruction. Nations cling to an uneasy cold war, with mages standing as the only deterrent against total annihilation. But how long can this delicate balance hold before the scales tip?

(WSA 2025 ENTRY!) Skyler's story was typical. He was publicly labeled a waste with no future as a Light — awakened individuals capable of wielding elemental powers. He thought that would be the end of it. But no, apparently that was not the case. He was teleported to the 'Battle Royal' to fight, even though he had zero powers and his age and potential were 100% ineligible! To make matters worse, he was not even the protagonist or transmigrator! He was just a freaking side character destined to die young in the story! And his death served only one purpose — to bring his sister closer to the protagonist! What a pitiful ending, right? However, unbeknownst to all, he wasn't meant to die but to become the best in two other realms, and they had altered the fate of that powerful King. Yet, there was a tiny problem — he didn't remember how he became overpowered in his past.
