Karen Lockwood is a rare human who has undergone Soul Awakening—the ability to perceive Soul Energy, a phenomenon unheard of among ordinary people. Mistaking her sensitivity for a mysterious illness, her bewildered parents reluctantly entrust her to the care of Joshua Ikemba, a Master Soulborne and instructor at the Soul Academy. Under the guise of treatment, Joshua transports Karen to the Academy, a hidden institution located somewhere within Lafrosa, the capital city of Soul Island. Thrown into a secretive and often hostile world filled with powerful beings and ancient hierarchies, Karen struggles to find her place among students born into greatness. Viewed as an anomaly, she must quickly adapt—or be crushed by the weight of expectations and prejudice. Yet her drive to survive and grow stronger burns brighter with each challenge. In a realm where strength is the only law, Karen is determined to carve out her own identity, no matter the odds.

Kento Kamitani never believed in curses—until the day a ritual went wrong. What began as a search for clues about the mysterious disappearance of billionaire Toriyama Akira pulls Kento and five other students into an ancient spiritual realm. There, forgotten memories awaken, and Kento discovers he is Kururugi Suzaku—one of the six chosen mortals bound by fate, prophecy, and blood to the empire’s tragic past. In this war-torn spiritual world, kingdoms are shattered, rulers are cursed, and love is both a blessing and a weapon. Suzaku becomes a reluctant prince of the Abassyal Kingdom, unaware that his body holds the spirit needed to break the deadly curse of the once-pure princess, Akaishimura Saya—a cursed leader manipulated by evil spirits. Saya’s only salvation is soaked in vengeance: she must kill the six mortals chosen by her father, King Indra, to reclaim her freedom. Suzaku, unknowingly one of those six, is now her primary target. And then there’s Akito—a forgotten, cursed soul who once ruled beside Saya but now seeks redemption. When Akito meets Leila (modern identity: Tokisaki Hori), a gentle girl from Kento’s past, he begins to feel emotions long buried. Leila falls for Akito, unaware that she is also a marked chosen mortal. Her love might save him… or lead to her own destruction. Caught in a tangled web of lost identities, political betrayals, ancient bloodlines, and impossible love, Suzaku must choose between peace and power, friendship and duty, past and present. As he uncovers the truth behind his kingdom’s dark legacy, his cursed family, and the lives of his former friends, one truth remains: This is not just a battle between kingdoms— It’s a war for the soul of the empire.

All we do is give, but nothing comes in return. We bleed so they can heal, We hurt so they can feel, We hide so they can fly. We love—fully, fiercely— We give our all, Yet nothing is given back. We are the neglected ones. And these… these are our stories.

Trillions of years into the future, Earth is gone and the fringes of civilization cling to remnants of what once was. Lead only by the mythologies of the past generations, the future looks bleak until the discovery of a timeless obelisk. The Symphony calls another to the frontiers of space-time, but will this be enough to save an already dying civilization in a universe on its last breath?

Twelve-year-old Kael was a slave—an orphan with no name, no freedom, and no future. Forced to work in royal gardens and beaten by nobles for fun, he lived each day with pain and silence. But everything changed when war came. In the middle of chaos, Kael and his best friend Jace ran for their lives. Deep in the forest, they found a hidden cave, ancient treasure, and an old diary left by a long-dead pirate. Inside the pages were stories—not just of adventure, but of power. Strange, dangerous power. And something inside Kael began to wake up. As he learns to survive in the wild, fight for freedom, and understand who he truly is, an old fire rises in him—one the world thought was gone forever. Kings will fight. Kingdoms may fall. But the greatest threat… might be the boy they once called a slave.

The year was 2026, and the world wasn't what it used to be. Ever since the Abyss Gates cracked open three years ago, spilling monsters and dungeons across the planet, life had turned into a chaotic mess.  Cities were half-ruined, half-rebuilt, and people clung to whatever normalcy they could find. Hunters—those brave or crazy enough to fight the monsters—became the new heroes.  Everyone else? Well, they just tried to survive. Fin wasn't a Hunter.  He wasn't a hero either. He was just… Fin. A lanky 19-year-old with messy brown hair, a chipped front tooth from a dumb skateboard accident, and a power that everyone called useless.  Absorption.  Sounds cool, right? Like he could suck up energy or steal someone's strength.  Nope. 

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—who disappeared without a word— is entangling with her always? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she unravel the twist of life brought forward by THAT MAN? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?
