But that formula failed him during the final stretch of his senior year when a local gang targeted him, putting everything he had and was building towards at risk. Trapped and desperate, Ace felt his life spiraling out of control—until Ria Hart, a fellow classmate, discovering Ace's innate aptitude to become a Curse Master, a being capable of wielding curse energy and abilities but haunted by Curselings, took pity and introduced him to the secret world hidden beneath the mundane surface of their world, the World of Curses.

The war ended with a sword through his heart. His new life begins with a dagger in his soul. Orion Myrelis died a hero… or so he thought. When he awakens in a silent void, stripped of everything but memory and regret, a message from the system delivers a cruel truth: [Congratulations. You have completed the tutorial.] Thrown into a world bound by the laws of a living Tower — a construct older than time and ruled by gods who were once men — Orion finds himself reborn not into glory, but into the cursed body of a failed climber. The boy named Ajax Zareth lingers inside, his soul trapped beneath Orion’s, amused and strangely grateful for the company. Together, they must navigate floor zero and prepare because the countdown to the First Trial was already ticking. Marked as a Drifter, Orion is an anomaly. The Tower bends around him. Beasts are drawn to him. And unlike the others… he has two traits. Prior to being reborn an ancient being took pity on his soul and granted him a unique power. One that could lead him to surpass even the gods if used right. But power always comes with a price — and Orion will soon learn that the Tower was never built to save him. It was built to test him. Break him. And if he refuses to climb… it will bury him.

"You... changed your mind?" Liam’s voice was barely above a whisper. A slow, deliberate smirk curled on the devil’s lips. "Yes. And now, I want you to earn your life. Go down on your knees and do exactly as I say." …... Liam always believed he was just another werewolf—until a dangerously alluring vampire enters his life, unraveling a truth far more complicated than he ever imagined.

With a vengeful predator closing in and his pack questioning his loyalty, Liam faces a terrifying reality: someone wants him dead. But in a game where everyone has something to hide, the real danger might not be the enemy lurking in the shadows—but the truth buried in his own past.

He wasn’t the strongest. He wasn’t the fastest. And no—he wasn’t born chosen. His name was Kamanuzzaman, and if history remembers him, it will not be because of fate. It will be because he broke it. He grew up watching the same loop: the powerful rising, the powerless repeating. Justice postponed. Mistakes recycled. Hope dangled like bait in front of those too tired to question. Some called it society. Others called it balance. He called it a curse with a pretty name. The world doesn’t need heroes. It needs a malfunction. If history is a wheel, then he will be the stone in its spokes. He was quiet at first. Observant. The kind of boy who never spoke in class, but always knew the answer. They thought he was harmless. Until the patterns started to make sense to him. And when patterns make sense, so do their weaknesses. He didn’t want to save the world. He wanted to change the rules it played by. Not to become a god. Just to stop being a pawn. They fear being wrong. HE fear being right—because it means this system works as intended.” There’s a legend passed down in his world, from a philosopher named Sir Faiyaz Hasan, a man who once whispered: All truths rot into rules. And all rules become prisons. Kamanuzzaman listened. He listened too deeply. Until silence itself began to echo. They called him mad, but he was just more awake than they could bear. This is not a story of light versus dark. There are no heroes here. No villains. Only recursion… and the boy who defied it. This is the story of The Hollow Resonance— The moment when an ordinary boy refused to live inside a repeating answer, and chose to become the error in the equation. He don’t want to live forever. he want to live once—and make it impossible to forget.

The dead should stay dead. Kael Arvid repeated the words like a prayer as he adjusted the raven mask over his scarred face. The carved beak pressed cold against the bridge of his nose, the eyeholes narrowing his vision to slits of flickering torchlight. Beneath him, the ballroom of House Dain shimmered—a grotesque painting of gold and rot. Nobles laughed behind ivory masks, their gloved hands clutching goblets of wine dark as clotting blood. The air reeked of clove and something fouler beneath, like meat left too long in the sun. He hadn't come for wine. The dagger at his belt was hungry. It had waited seven years for this night. Seven years since House Dain's soldiers kicked in the door of his family's cottage. Seven years since he'd watched from the treeline as the flames turned his sister's screams to smoke. Seven years of imagining this moment—the moment he'd slide steel between Lord Dain's ribs and whisper his family's names as the light
