Mark Sloan

How long can one ignore the voices in their head? Nine years. To Mark, that was the limit. For the majority of his life, Mark White has been fighting a constant battle for his sanity. The voices in his head pushed him toward madness one whisper at a time, and the music he used to ward against them was gradually losing its effects. As his mental state slowly deteriorated, Mark spent more of his time working on a game he had been developing and lamenting his lack of romantic experience. One night, the voices dealt him a powerful blow, bringing their battle to an end. To his surprise, Mark won the battle, but that came at a great cost. The voices might have disappeared, but a visual hallucination arrived to replace them, taking the form of a character from his game: Maids VS Apocalypse. Little did he know that the real apocalypse was already coming for him.

To him, however, she is merely a business transaction, a partner chosen to enhance his status. To his friends, she is just a fool in love, a pathetic figure begging for affection.

Thirteen-year-old Elara Ashfall has always felt out of place in the prestigious Arclight Academy, where young espers are trained to unlock extraordinary abilities through magical tattoos granted at the Marking Ceremony. But when Elara receives her tattoo, the mark is unlike any the academy has seen in over a thousand years: an ancient, swirling Veilmark with an eye-like symbol at its center. Her mark grants her the power to sense and alter hidden energies, a skill that both fascinates and unsettles those around her. As Elara begins to explore her mysterious abilities, she is haunted by visions of an otherworldly guide who hints that her Veilmark ties her to a lost legacy and a hidden realm known only to those with the rarest of marks. Alongside her friends, each with unique powers, Elara must unravel the secrets of her mark before dark forces—long dormant—awaken to seize its power for themselves. Caught between the dangers of her unknown legacy and the challenges of growing into her abilities, Elara’s journey will test her courage, loyalty, and sense of self. And as she uncovers more about her mark and the ancient secrets it guards, Elara must decide whether she can trust the power that comes with being the last Veilmarked esper—and whether she’s ready to face the unknown destiny awaiting her.

The rule had always been this way: the strong over the weak, the rich over the poor. Mark knew this, he'd even experienced it. After his boss fired him for discovering the affair with his girlfriend (who also worked at their small gaming company), Mark vowed never to be humiliated like that again. He wanted to rise above everyone, to become the world's top player, the one who made the rules and decided everyone's fate. But that was wishful thinking. He was just a heavyset, nerdy guy with some programming skills and a large appetite. What else did he have going for him? Hit hard by this reality, jobless and dumped, Mark withdrew into gaming, which also became his source of income. One day, after leaving a bad review for a game he played and streamed, he received a strange reply from the game's creator. Suddenly, Mark found himself transported to Aetherium, the world of that same game, as Magnus Lancaster, the young lord of a crumbling territory. Now, with this new beginning, he vowed never to be weak again, never to leave his fate in someone else's hands. Discord: https://discord.com/invite/vvQRGGha9M

"3, 2, 1… FIGHT!" the referee shouted. Both of the fighters threw punches at each other, and the crowd cheered. Benjo got hit, Chad got punched, and they just kept striking each other. In the video's of their previous fights they made me watch, they just wrestled and pinned each other, and it was boring. Chad got knocked to the ground and got up once more, then Benjo did the same. Mark and I watched in silence. A few minutes later, both of the fighters ran out of breath and just stood meters away from each other, each taking a moment to catch their breath. The crowd grew silent, and I looked at Mark "Damn, that was badass!" "Yeah, I agre-" "WHAT IS THAT!" someone shouted while Mark was talking. I look at the fighters and see a yellow aura and particles floating around both of them. The crowd is in amazement, and I take a closer look. I saw 2 lions beside each of the fighters. Wait, a lion? When did it get there? There weren't supposed to be lions around here.
