Awakening of the Forgotten follows Jin, a young boy who wakes up in the forbidden Dark Forest, with no memory of his past or the world beyond its eerie trees. Alone and abandoned, he’s thrust into a harsh and unforgiving wilderness filled with deadly creatures, where survival is the only thing that matters. But Jin is different from the ordinary survivors of this cursed land—he’s beginning to unlock strange and powerful abilities that even he cannot fully comprehend. As Jin battles the creatures of the forest and struggles with his inner demons, he begins to experience bursts of energy that reveal flashes of forgotten memories. These visions hint at a darker past: his family was hunted by the gods’ apostles, and the truth of his lineage could change the fate of the world. With every step he takes, the mysterious power within him grows, but so do the dangers. The gods fear what Jin is becoming, and their influence is felt even within the deep shadows of the forest. Unbeknownst to Jin, his journey is not just about survival. Others—gods, demons, and beings from the outside world—are watching him. Some seek to control his power, while others wish to destroy him before he becomes too powerful. Along the way, Jin will uncover the secrets of his forgotten past, face choices that will challenge his very humanity, and struggle with the growing force that is both a gift and a curse. As his powers intensify, so too does his internal conflict. Can Jin maintain his humanity in the face of overwhelming power? Or will he become a weapon that even he can’t control? The Dark Forest holds more than just beasts and monsters—it is a place where the boundaries between man, god, and demon blur. Jin must navigate this treacherous world, all while uncovering the truth about his family, his destiny, and the dark forces that seek to use or destroy him. Awakening of the Forgotten is a story of survival, power, and self-discovery, set in a world where the line between light and darkness is not always clear, and the greatest battles are fought within.

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—who disappeared without a word— is acting all weird? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she unravel the twist of life brought forward by THAT MAN? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

Legacy of the Forgotten Soul Nathaniel "Nate" Cross was a man of wealth, wit, and unfathomable boredom. His opulent existence in the sprawling metropolis of Luminar City offered everything—everything except challenge. In search of distraction, he'd thrown himself into the virtual world of *Eclipse Ascension*, an action-packed fantasy game that allowed players to embody different protagonists, each with their unique backstory and gameplay. But among them all, one character stood out like a sore thumb: Kael Draylen, the most despised figure in the *Eclipse* fandom. Kael was a simp—an embarrassing mix of pitiful romantic obsession and uninspired mediocrity. Yet, driven by some perverse desire to complete the impossible, Nate had painstakingly grinded his way through the game as Kael. He endured Kael's glaring flaws, his misplaced devotion to his apathetic fiancée, and his tragically stunted mana. And, against all odds, Nate succeeded. The screen glowed triumphantly as *"Game Cleared!"* appeared. But before he could revel in his achievement, his world spun violently. Light and shadow swirled into a vortex, pulling him into the depths of the unknown. And to his horror, he awoke as Kael

WSA 2025 Entry What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. He was never meant to uncover it. But when fragments of forgotten identities surface and unseen forces move in the shadows, Aramith is thrust into a web of deception, blood, and a history long buried. Worse still, within him stirs an attribute unlike any other—the strongest, yet the most chaotic. A power that bends to no master, a force that threatens to consume him whole. To wield it is to risk destruction; to reject it is to remain powerless. And yet, power alone does not reveal the truth, for blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is?
