Castlevania Nocturne Maria

What would happen if you put 150 students together in a school-like system and had them compete in various challenges to earn points to try and become number one? The outcome has been pretty bland for the past few years at Astral Academy, and the results are not what the higher-ups who run it want, until now. New students have enrolled and will change everything. New faces with clashing personalities will compete against each other to get the reward that first place offers. Five different classes with thirty different students in each class. Who will come out on top? Malakai, who came from London to compete in this academy? Maria, the daughter of a famous actress? Alexander, who has got everything he has ever wanted? Ryan, who can get anything he wants? Isabella, who has never had to try for anything she's done. Dillon, who wants everything everyone else has? Adam, who wants to prove a point? Too many names but only one top spot. Will they be entertaining? I post chapters every Wednesday and Saturday.

Mare: The mare does not refer to a female horse but to the mara demon who sits on a person’s chest and terrorizes them in their sleep.

"To ascend unto the pantheon, one must claim the visage of a deity who yet lingers upon this earth." As the doom of Avaricia's continent looms with the inexorable tread of a nocturnal specter, a youth of divine lineage, heretofore lamenting a life of sorrow, rises to the challenge of destiny's call. This lad, a demi-god among mortals, amasses an assembly of his ilk, each burdened with a spark of the celestial within their earthly frames. They embark upon a quest most perilous, a final stand against the encroaching shadows that threaten to engulf the four realms of existence. Guided by an audacious scheme, fraught with the very essence of impossibility, they aim to safeguard not only the present, but to ensure a continuance of days to come. Their intent, as daring as it is profane, is to usurp the thrones of those gods who have forsaken their dominion. Yet, such endeavors are not lightly undertaken. For to wrest the scepter from the grip of an immortal sovereignty is a feat that would daunt the stoutest of hearts. "If the Pantheon has turned a blind eye to the realms," the young hero declares with the fiery conviction of one who has glimpsed the abyss, "then perhaps 'tis time for a new order to assume their mantle." Away with the ancients, and hail the new! The nascent deities of Avaricia shall rise, a pantheon reborn in the crucible of fate. The very fabric of the cosmos trembles at their approach. These... 'New Gods of Avaricia'... shall they be heralded as saviors, or condemned as usurpers? Only the inscrutable dance of destiny shall reveal the truth beneath the veil of night.
