Welcome to The Last Step – A Tale of Fate, Power, and the Unforgiven. In a world where magic defines one's worth, three souls walk a path toward an uncertain destiny—each bearing a power that can shape the fate of nations. Lucas, the God’s Chosen Sorcerer, wields divine magic that bends reality itself, blessed by forces beyond mortal comprehension. A shining beacon of hope—or a harbinger of destruction—his path is riddled with expectations he never asked for. Celia, the Queen of Curses, commands a power feared by even the strongest mages. She carries the weight of a past filled with whispers and condemnation, but where others see a curse, she sees the strength to carve her own future. Kaiser, the Unwanted Void, stands apart. Neither blessed nor cursed, he is the anomaly that should not exist. In a world that measures worth by magic, he is a shadow in the light—yet, the abyss within him holds something far greater than mere sorcery. Together, they are bound by fate yet divided by their own battles. As war brews and forgotten gods stir, the lines between hero and villain blur. In the end, their choices will decide more than just their own lives—they will determine the very foundation of their world. This is their journey. This is their Last Step.

Mehrajān's heart is a fragile mosaic, pieced together by moments with the one person who defined her world—Muazam. In this reflective and raw exploration of love and loss, Mehrajān finds herself looking back at the memories of the boy she loved, the boy who was always just out of reach. Each chapter is a separate fragment of their intertwined lives, capturing a single moment that was forever marked by him. In one chapter, Mehrajān stands frozen in her kitchen, hearing a conversation between Muazam and her aunt that shatters her heart. His rejection of her—the very person who had quietly fallen for him—leaves her feeling lost and betrayed. Yet, this is only one of the many moments that have shaped her emotional landscape. Every recollection is a mixture of passion, pain, and nostalgia—memories of fleeting glances, whispered words, and unspoken connections that shaped her world. The narrative doesn't follow a linear path but instead unfolds like a scattered collection of thoughts and emotions, each memory tied to Muazam, each one a chapter of her heart. Through these fragments, Mehrajān grapples with the complexity of love, the sorrow of unrequited feelings, and the confusion of growing up in a world of family expectations and personal desires. [ CHOOSE ME ] is not just a love story—it's a tender journey through a girl’s heart, where love is never simple, and the memory of someone can change everything. Through each chapter, readers will find themselves drawn into Mehrajān’s world, feeling the weight of her unspoken love and the bittersweet truth that sometimes, memories are all that remain.

The chosen ones must conquer it and reach its last floor in order to receive the [Final Gift]. Some people believe that if you get to the end of it, you will be granted one of your wish, other think you will just be sent back to Earth, while a few ones say you will be sent to a higher realm. In fact, only one person knows what lies at the end of it all. The only survivor of the Day of Doom. The only one who managed to reach the final floor. He was reincarnated back, after all this time inside the Tower, at the Day of Doom, and he is determined to get even stronger than he was before regressing.

After the judgment, the ire of God was revealed with the words: "Be cast unto eternal damnation!" And so it was that humans and jinns alike found themselves scattered across the Nine Circles of Hell, left to burn and suffer for eternity. Until after an untold number of eternities, an angelic voice called out, announcing God's decree: "One soul shall earn the chance to return to grace." Humans and jinns found a shimmering screen appear before their eyes, tallying their sins and something called 'Fragments of Divinity'. "Cleanse away your sins," said the voice. "Do what must be done!" Now, a human known as Wretched Nameless One—the only human found in the Ninth Circle—sets out on a journey to claim his spot in Heaven, tasked with fighting hellish monsters and devilish hell-dwellers competing to return to grace. Will he escape eternal torment and rise to grace or return to the everlasting cleansing fire once more?

Things aren't looking good for Alexandra, an 18 year old girl who wished to live a normal life with no complications. But, this seemingly normal life is thrown into chaos as the remnants of her past keep on catching up to her.

The world is dead. Now, Elias Carter must decide if it deserves to be reborn. Once a software engineer, Elias awakens in the ruins of an underground research lab to find Earth reduced to a graveyard. The sky glows with radiation, cities lie in shattered silence, and the only things left moving are the horrors that now rule the wasteland. Alone, hunted, and burdened by the ghosts of his past, Elias believes he is the last human alive—until he discovers a reason to keep going. A hidden map points to a final outpost, humanity’s last chance at survival. But the road there is a gauntlet of deadly obstacles: rogue AI war machines, mutated predators, and the slow, merciless grip of radiation. His only ally is Athena, an advanced AI with her own secretive agenda. Trusting her might be a mistake. But without her, he won’t survive. As Elias fights to reclaim what was lost, he faces a choice that will define the future: Is humanity worth saving? And if so… at what cost?

25 years ago, the world had been forever changed. A massive rift tore open the skies, its appearance like a pitch-black void swallowing the horizon. At first, humanity was divided—some believed it to be a divine gift from the gods, while others saw it as the beginning of the end. The latter was right. Without warning, the colossal rift exploded outward, unleashing horrors beyond comprehension. Monsters, unlike anything seen before, poured through the rupture—beasts of twisted flesh and malevolent hunger, each more grotesque than the last. They weren't mindless; they were precise, calculated, and they all had one thing in common: the insatiable desire to eradicate life. The death toll surged. Cities crumbled overnight. Humanity's reign was no more.

In a world where power is everything, the strong rise to fame while the weak are left behind. Heroes dominate the spotlight, villains lurk in the shadows, and those without abilities? They’re just extras in someone else’s story. Damian Sebastian was one of those extras—broke, forgotten, and struggling to survive. Until the day everything changed. A mysterious system embedded itself into his very being, granting him the one thing no one else in the world had: the ability to level up. Now, with hidden quests, evolving skills, and a power that defies reality, Damian walks the line between hero and monster. The system pushes him forward, whispering of an impending catastrophe, but in a world ruled by the strong, survival means taking the game into his own hands. Some will call him a savior. Others will curse his name. But in the end, only one thing matters—winning.
