She's twenty-two-years-old. This is the most important things about her. In her twenties, she's supposed to be in the prime of her life. Graduated from university. Starting her first corporate job.

She's never been to a job interview. And she's never been in a proper relationship. Never mind meeting the love of her life! No one told her how lonely and confusing her twenties would be. That she'd want things and be told that she's too old to still have her heads in the clouds.

Socially awkward introvert. Insatiable appetite for things she cannot have. Follow along while she dissects the happenings in her day to day. P.S. Don't expect any of this to be coherent or make any sense.

After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

Seven Realms, One Egg, Two Hearts. In ancient times, there lay a story that was condemned to be chained in secrecy—an unthinkable era was brewed by continuous discord among the inhabitants of the seven realms, blinding them to the cruelty of war. From there, the era's aroma lingered, and darkness dominated both the realms of humans and elementals. But a streak of hope appeared in the sky. In times of crisis, a glowing orb emerged from the depths of the Wyrmpirean seas. People from all seven realms were revitalized and rejoiced. Mythical beasts of Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Spirit, and Shadow came to light. Their power grew through the alchemy of elements and light, and this glowing orb turned out to be an ethereal egg. It was the vital force of the great Luxian beast, destined to be the sentinel of Wyrmpire. However, the poison of greed for power once again took hold of one of the human leaders. In an age when the seven realms coexisted in delicate equilibrium, the harmonious symphony of magic and mythical creatures was abruptly silenced by Gat of Luwalhat'ti's insatiable thirst for dominion. He ordered the capture of the elemental beasts and exploited their essence. Relentlessly pursuing the fabled Mythical Egg for his own self-indulgent desires, he caused this primordial artifact—whispered to possess unimaginable power—to shatter the peace and plunge the world into devastating war, reigniting the embers of chaos from the past. The realms became more divided than ever. Sinagthala, the first to succumb to his ruthless conquest, bears the scars of his ambition. Emir Akkainu, in a desperate act of self-sacrifice, secured the egg at a heart-wrenching cost—his own son, Karrim. Now, Karrim, burdened by a curse yet bestowed with enigmatic abilities, embarks on a perilous quest for vengeance against the Gat. His path intertwines with that of Klarra, Gat's daughter, who, disillusioned by her father's tyranny, yearns for peace and justice. Amidst the chaos and despair of a war-torn world, an unexpected love blossoms; a fragile beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. Will they find redemption amidst the ruins of a broken world, or will the insatiable hunger for power and the scars of the past consume them all, as history repeats itself? The convergence of Karrim and Klarra's journey is set to test the very limits of their courage, loyalty, and love.

Born from a secret government experiment, Dante Rayne possesses superhuman speed and endurance. His enhanced abilities could make him a champion in any sport, but he refuses to step into the limelight, fearing that using his powers publicly would expose his dark origins. Living in hiding, Dante works menial jobs by day and runs to keep his mind sharp by night. However, his quiet life shatters when his younger sister, Emily, is kidnapped by the very organization that created him. In a desperate attempt to gather the money and resources to rescue her, Dante enters the world of illegal underground sports competitions—street races, underground marathons, and extreme physical challenges—where athletes compete not just for fame, but for survival. Each race draws him deeper into a dangerous network of shadowy figures who know more about his past than he does. With every victory, he inches closer to finding his sister, but he also risks revealing his true identity. Caught between the need to save his sister and the constant threat of exposure, Dante must push his limits further than ever before. But the deeper he gets into this world, the more he learns about the dark conspiracy behind the experiment that gave him his powers. There’s more at stake than just his sister’s life—the fate of many others hangs in the balance, and Dante must become more than just a runner to stop the shadowy organization from controlling the future of human evolution.

He can push his body beyond normal limits, healing faster than most, but every use of his powers takes a toll on him both physically and mentally. 2.

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.

Wealth is hidden in newspapers The yellow and white ceiling, the railings with mottled paint, the mattress smelling of sweat, the outdated stickers, a simple but vivid world.

The story, or tragedy, of a squad known only in legend. Told by an old soldier, but this story may have some truth to it.

Everyone has been telling Lisbeth for years that she's blessed to be the Archduke's wife. No one believed that the daughter of a Baron could attain such a high position. For Lisbeth, this is no blessing. Her husband is loving and charming, yet he has a secret that he has been hiding. A secret that is slowly destroying them both. This story is one I have been toying with for a bit, and I will be adding chapters as they come to mind. But be warned, it will get dark.
