The sky, once majestic and brimming with divine radiance, now crumbles into a shadowy gloom, shattered by cataclysms that annihilate all celestial glory. The earth, once fertile and teeming with life, has withered into a desolate wasteland, trampled underfoot by legions of dark creatures—demons, devils, and vengeful spirits that roam in bitter triumph. This world no longer belongs to the holy; it is a new kingdom for the outcast, dancing upon the ruins of God and His Entire Heavenly Host. Yet amid this ruin, the One Accursed—a figure destined to submit to fate—rises instead with thunderous defiance. Rather than accept defeat, he rallies the remnants of the angelic armies, commanding those still loyal to the light to rebel. With blind conviction, they challenge the dark forces that now hold the throne of the cosmos, deluding themselves as bearers of the one true righteousness. But is their resistance merely an illusion? Or is this the dawn of a new curse—an eternal cycle where the damned become rulers, and the rebels mere pawns in a far darker game? The battle rages, no longer between light and dark, but between arrogance and a destiny already etched into the dust of annihilation.

"We will be here for you...financially" In the fictional gray Ridge City in the equally depressing state of Silverton, a group journalists receive permission to report on a small bank branch during the post 9/11 recession. Bumbling manager Phillip Staunton struggles to keep morale afloat as his branch slowly sinks into the murky depths of late stage capitalism. Meanwhile, the bank's parent company: The Silverton Bank Association is hemorrhaging money and thousands are losing their jobs. Dragged into the inner workings of the financial system, Phillip must help his boss, Betty Lowery, introduce a make or break operation for the Silverton Bank Association. A new rebrand to pull the corporation out of the past and into the 21st century. Old money executives attempt to stop the rebrand to keep alive what has worked for decades. With riots on Stock Street, criminals and journalists in the workplace, the less than dynamic duo fight together but only to save themselves. In a system built on exploitation, abuse comes in many forms, and not all of them are financial.

Humanity teetered on the precipice of oblivion, a mere whisper in the winds of a world consumed by an unlikely alliance. Dragons, goblins, demons, angels, jinn, and every manner of creature imaginable had conspired, their diverse hatreds uniting in a singular, terrifying goal: the utter annihilation of humankind. From a once-thriving civilization, only two remained – a brother and his sister, the last embers of a dying flame. Their bodies were weak, their numbers few, yet within their hearts burned an unyielding desire for vengeance, a desperate hope to reclaim what was lost. This is the story of their fight, a tale of two against a world.

(SPOILER ALERT!!!!:) In a realm crushed under the iron fist of the ruthless tyrant Dextin, hope flickers like a dying ember. The story explodes in a moment of shocking defiance when the ancient, sentient Red Katana chooses Dran, a battle-scarred elite soldier, as its wielder. This isn't some destined hero; Dran is a man tormented by personal tragedy, his wife brutally murdered by Dextin himself. His desperate whisper—"Why the hell did you choose me?"—sets the stage for a rebellion born not of prophecy, but of raw, agonizing pain and a thirst for vengeance. The palace becomes a battleground of wills and blades. Dran's initial, impulsive strike against Dextin ignites an inferno, both literally and figuratively, as the palace burns and loyalties shift. Witnessing Dran's unyielding spirit, the oppressed elite soldiers, led by the steadfast Aingo, finally find their courage, abandoning their tyrant. While Dran faces Dextin in a brutal, no-holds-barred duel, Aingo orchestrates a desperate prison break, freeing countless villagers and sending Neon to protect Dran's young son, Rider. The climax is a devastating, fiery dance of death between Dran and Dextin, each fueled by a personal, consuming hatred. Despite suffering grievous wounds, Dran unleashes the Red Katana's full, unbridled power in a final, sacrificial attack. Though he falls, his dying wish to Aingo—to raise Rider as a warrior and the future wielder of the Red Katana—cements a new legacy. The Red Katana, now dormant but bound to the true Sword Master, awaits its next champion. Seventeen years later, the echoes of Dran's sacrifice linger, poised to awaken a new dawn for a land still yearning for true freedom.

Unplanned Farewell By Marina Reine is a woman ruled by fire and fear — a brilliant lawyer with a past full of scars and a body that’s known too much pain. When Adrian storms back into her life, a dangerous, possessive man who claims her with every brutal touch, she’s thrown into a world where lust is a weapon and love is a battlefield. His hunger is merciless, devouring her in the dark corners of luxury, leaving her bruised, broken, and begging for more. But beneath the rough edges lies a man shattered by his own demons — desperate to keep the woman who drives him mad. In the clash of passion and betrayal, where every whispered promise could be a lie, Reine must fight to hold onto her heart — or surrender to a love that will either destroy them both or save what’s left of their souls. This isn’t a gentle farewell. It’s the last, brutal fight for love.

A forest drenched in fog. Three strangers wake beneath unfamiliar stars. Leo, Matthew, and El never meant to cross over. One moment they were neighbors, the next lost in a realm where the sun burns red, beasts lurk in shadow, and the land remembers things better left forgotten. They don’t know how to get back. They only know how they got here. To return home and find answers, they must journey across a broken world through cursed woods, ruined cities, and war-torn kingdoms toward the far continent where whispers speak of primal magic and the fallen ones. But the path is never clear, and the land itself seems to twist beneath their feet. As they venture deeper, Leo's dreams are beginning to bleed into reality. At first, it’s fragments. Places they haven’t seen. Names he shouldn’t know. But the further they go, the more real it becomes. His dreams bleed into waking life echoes of battles, betrayals, and bonds that feel achingly familiar. And somewhere ahead, something waits for them. Something that remembers. Because this world doesn’t forget. And neither does fate.

Seventeen year old Hazel’s life unravels after the sudden loss of her parents. Then comes a letter; unexpected, unexplained, and impossible to ignore. Adrift and numb, Hazel faces a future filled with questions and shadows, unsure of what lies ahead or who she can rely on.

The Second World War ended not in fire, but in compromise. A fragile peace was forged between the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Third Reich after Germany conquered most of Europe. With the formation of a United Nations dominated by four veto powers—USA, USSR, TR, and UK—the world avoided mutual destruction. But beneath this uneasy alliance, a new war brews: not for land or ideology, but for superiority of the human race itself. In the ashes of the old war, the Third Reich unveils Eric, a being born and bred in a laboratory—faster than bullets, stronger than tanks, and presented as the "true potential of the Aryan race." As panic ripples across the globe, the U.S. rushes to respond. Led by brilliant scientist Natalie, the CIA initiates Project Liberty, transforming returning war hero Logan into the American Sentinel—a patriotic symbol of hope in a world sliding toward chaos. In the East, the USSR crafts its answer: Nikolai, a guilt-ridden airman haunted by his past, is reborn through a pain-fueled transformation into the Red Guardian—a reluctant savior torn between duty to his nation and love for his family. As these superpowered icons rise, so do the shadows behind them: Greta, Eric's manipulative handler, schemes to rule the Reich as his empress. Rebecca, Logan’s estranged wife, seeks a life untouched by war’s long reach. Boris, a Soviet general, treats Nikolai as little more than propaganda. And hidden in the Arctic ice lies a secret that predates even Eric—the First Superman. When a global summit descends into fear and threats, and world leaders start falling mysteriously, it becomes clear that peace was only a pause. Eric seizes power in Germany and launches a new wave of conquest—first in the East, then West—threatening to turn the Earth into his empire. Caught in a three-way war between fascism, communism, and democracy, Logan and Nikolai must confront not only each other, but the deeper truth: Are they heroes of their nations, or prisoners of their flags? In the ruins of Moscow, as Eric stands poised to conquer all, the final battle will decide more than the fate of the world—it will determine what it means to be human in an age of gods.

By the stream’s edge, "Ranin" often escaped the pressure of exams and schoolwork—crying silently, blaming herself beneath the shade of the trees... But one day, she wasn’t alone. A young man in Victorian clothing appeared out of nowhere, asking: “Who are you? And how did you enter the forbidden forest?” She thought he was just eccentric—until he tried to touch her... and his hand passed right through her. She thought she was imagining things. She chose to ignore it. But she was wrong. Days later, another young man appeared—floating in midair, staring at her. “The monsters will cross from the forest into your empire. This magical panel will help you.” A floating window appeared before her—just like in a video game! What was happening? Had she lost her mind? The stream’s forest wasn’t just a forest... It was a boundary between her real world and the fictional world of a novel called “The Knight and the White Rose.” A typical romance novel she’d read a year ago—about a princess and a knight defying noble society. She never imagined that what she ignored between the lines... would be what slips into her reality. The danger didn’t come from the empire where the story took place— but from the neighboring empire, one barely mentioned at all. But this isn't a game. She must protect her family. Even if it costs her... her life
