--[WSA 2025 Entry]-- Betrayed by his sister. Betrayed by chosen one's humanity. Betrayed by the Gods. That was how the life of Leonard, the Defier of Fate and the world’s greatest heretic, came to an end. When demons invaded human lands, he received a revelation from the Goddess. She commanded him to act as a spy, to infiltrate the enemy ranks and expose their secrets for humanity’s sake. To fulfill this mission, he had to sacrifice a part of his soul. He accepted a demonic contract, surrendered his soul, and became a demonic human. Risking everything, he provided critical information to the humans and helped them turn the tide of battle. But then, he had a shocking discovery. The war was nothing but a gambit between various gods and before he could act, the war was stopped out of nowhere. In an unexpected turn, humans and demons put aside their hatred and signed a peace treaty. Before Leonard could make sense of it, he was betrayed. Both demons and humans joined hands to kill him. "Fuck! If there is a next life, I swear I will tear you gods apart!" With this scream, he thought his suffering was finally over. But… When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the body of Kael Veydrin, the son of the Grand Duke of the Heizen Empire. But this new life was no different from the last. His sister wanted to get rid of him. Born with clogged vessels and no talent, he was nothing but a disappointment. A subject of fun and ridicule among the fellow nobles. Despite rebirth, nothing seems to change. The cursed fate. The distorted history smearing his name. A world that was against him. Leonard, now assuming the identity of Kael, let out a low chuckle. "Don’t worry, Kael. I will have revenge for both of us." "They called me heretic right? I will show them how a true fucking heretic acts.” Follow Kael's journey, as he fights against the fates and injustices to drag the ones ruling above.

Des mutations ont eu lieu partout dans le monde et bientôt, une apocalypse démoniaque s'est abattue. Pour se défendre contre les êtres démoniaques, les humains sont rapidement entrés dans une ère numérique mondialisée. Chacun pourrait choisir entre un métier de combat ou un métier de soutien en s'éveillant une fois l'âge de 18 ans atteint. Ces personnes deviendraient plus fortes en tuant des êtres démoniaques. Lu Yan avait éveillé le métier le plus faible, un nécromancien. Cependant, il avait également reçu un système de soutien de métier et pouvait se rééveiller en un métier caché, Seigneur de la Mort. « Les nécromanciens sont si faibles qu'ils meurent d'un seul coup! » « Mec, ce type n'a vraiment pas de chance. Il a obtenu un métier de combat, mais c'est le plus faible. Que peut-il faire? Invoquer quelques squelettes? » « De plus, il n'y a pas que quelques nécromanciens là-bas? Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'expérience ou de ressources pour qu'ils héritent. Leur avenir semble sombre. » « Oublie les nécromanciens! J'ai eu le métier de Chevalier Saint! Votre roi polyvalent est ici! » Peu de temps après, Lu Yan est apparu en armure complète des Enfers de la Mort tout en brandissant la Faux de l'Âme de la Mort et dirigeant une armée de la mort forte de 100 mille hommes. D'un seul coup de sa faux, il a coupé en deux la bête démoniaque de rang mythique. « Les nécromanciens sont faibles? Qu'est-ce que cela a à voir avec moi, le Seigneur de la Mort? »

Mutationen traten weltweit auf und bald darauf folgte eine dämonische Apokalypse. Um sich gegen dämonische Wesen zu verteidigen, traten die Menschen schnell in ein globalisiertes digitales Zeitalter ein. Jeder konnte sich zwischen einem Kampf- oder Unterstützungsberuf entscheiden, sobald er das Alter von 18 Jahren erreichte. Diese Menschen wurden durch das Töten dämonischer Wesen stärker. Lu Yan erwachte zum schwächsten Beruf, einem Nekromanten. Allerdings erhielt er auch ein Beruf-Unterstützungs-System und konnte in einen verborgenen Beruf, den Herrn des Todes, wiedererwachen. "Nekromanten sind so schwach, dass sie mit einem Schlag sterben!" "Mann, das Glück dieses Typen ist einfach das Schlechteste. Er hat zwar einen Kampfberuf bekommen, aber es ist der schwächste. Was kann er schon tun? Ein paar Skelette beschwören?" "Außerdem gibt es doch nur eine Handvoll Nekromanten da draußen, oder? Es gibt nicht viele Erfahrungen oder Ressourcen, die sie erben können. Ihre Zukunft sieht düster aus." "Vergiss die Nekromanten! Ich habe den Beruf des Heiligen Ritters bekommen! Euer Allround-König ist hier!" Kurz darauf erschien Lu Yan in einer vollständigen Rüstung aus Todesnether, schwang die Todesseelensense und führte eine 100.000 Mann starke Todesarmee an. Mit einem einzigen Schwung seiner Sense spaltete er das mythische Dämonenmonster in zwei Hälften. "Nekromanten sind schwach? Was hat das mit mir zu tun, dem Herrn des Todes?"

In a not-so-distant future, Earth is thrown into chaos by a weird alien ship that crashes and starts leaking spiritual energy all over the place. This energy messes with the planet’s ecosystem, making everything mutate—animals, plants, even people. It’s like nature’s gone wild, with some folks getting crazy supernatural powers while others struggle to survive against mutated creatures and power-hungry groups trying to take control. In the middle of all this craziness, Amira Hailen—a tough-as-nails ex-special forces assassin with a complicated past—gets a second shot at life. Thanks to a mysterious ally’s Mental Transference powers, she’s sent back in time, waking up with the ability to control ice. Determined to keep humanity afloat, she gathers her old crew and turns them into a reliable team amid all the chaos. Meanwhile, Aiden Emberstorm—a fiery elite operative—gets fed up with the government’s weak response to the crisis. With his own fire powers blazing, he ditches the bureaucracy and teams up with his battalion to protect innocent lives. He becomes a symbol of resistance, taking on mutated beasts and rogue factions while trying to restore some order. When Amira and Aiden cross paths, it’s not exactly love at first sight. Their icy and fiery personalities clash, but they can’t deny the need to join forces. They both want the same thing: a sanctuary where survivors can be safe. So, they decide to work together, hatching a plan to take down the alien ship before it can call in reinforcements for a full-scale invasion. Amid epic battles, unexpected alliances, and a budding romance, Amira and Aiden must face both their inner demons and the alien threat. It’s a fight for survival in a world that’s gone wild, with everything at stake—including their own hearts.

On his 20th birthday, Asher's mother confessed something he never expected. After the truth was revealed, she died giving her last blessing to him. That's when Asher found himself all alone, confused about his own identity and worrying about his future. What did she say? -He was someone special? -Someone people would come after? She said he was coming from a very rare but also a very special race called omega where men could get pregnant. Was it real? At first, Asher strictly refused to accept his mother's confession. But in the end, he had to believe it. Because it was the bitter truth. If he was really coming from such a rare race, and had such a special body, did he have to live all his life hiding so he wouldn't get caught and become someone's plaything? Was that the only way to avoid getting the bad ending his father got? Why was he even born as someone like this?! He just wanted a peaceful life. So, it wouldn't be as dangerous as his mother said if he just forgot he was special and lived like a normal person, right? People would not notice. Alas, it's been a long time since people last saw an omega and they must be believing no omega exists now. At least that's what he thought... He thought people might have forgotten about his existence and he would not have to face any problems in the future.  Whether he was special or not, he still became a target. When he was kidnapped and auctioned as a slave, he regretted ignoring his mother's last advice. "Don't trust anyone easily. Your safety is in your hands and protecting yourself is your duty." He could only blame himself and expect for the worst if his special identity was to get revealed and meet the same end as his father did. However, his fate gave him a second chance along with a huge surprise which changed his life for the better. Hopefully, Asher was saved by the so-called 'bloodthirsty monster' duke and brought to his mansion to babysit his spoiled 10-year-old little sister who threw tantrums declaring she wants Asher to pat her head and comfort her. Just to babysit this adorable, little girl.  He was safe. His secret was also secured within himself. Thanks to that chaotic sister and brother, Asher's life slowly took new turns and continued with almost no obstacles...till some point. The surprise? The duke happened to have some kind of a 'strange' illness that had no cure. Not long after when Asher discovered it, he ended up becoming the perfect cure for his illness. But how? -Remember? He was 'special'! Where would his specialty as an omega lead his life to? What kind of mysteries would he have to encounter with this duke wishing comfort from him?  Will the duke's 'strange' illness ever get healed? How would their story flow to that perfect happy ending with the twist of love landing in the middle of their 'just a deal'? ________________ Note:  This story continues in a historical timeline. Similar to omegaverse, but not the same omegaverse universe. Magic, revenge, dukes, royal families, curses, spells, heats, ruts... (The book cover is from Pinterest. Respect to the artist.)
