189 years after the Fall, Earth is no longer the world it once was. Meteors brought with them destruction—and something worse; Corruption, an energy that slowly rots away the body and mind. In its wake, Aether awakened—its polar opposite, offering power through structure, balance, and sacrifice. Now, the world is divided between Safe Havens, protected by the World Authority and fueled by Aether, and the Wastelands, ruled by the Corruption. In the shadows of society, humans chase strength by walking the Path of Ruin, risking their souls to survive the ever-growing Deadzones. Alexander, a 15-year-old scavenger from the fringe town of Greyreach, carries with him secret that could get him killed: he can wield both Aether and Corruption. As the World Authority tightens its grip, and rumors of an uprising circulate about, of civilizations beyond the stars, Alexander is forced to navigate the dangers of the world, and the ever growing Deadzones that threaten to destroy the world.

In a world where celestial bodies dictate the fate of empires, a dark omen casts its shadow across the land—the rise of the Black Sun. As this unnatural eclipse lingers in the sky, magic begins to twist, kingdoms tremble, and the balance of power shifts dangerously toward chaos. Elias Varkas, a disgraced knight branded a traitor, wanders the wastelands, seeking redemption for a crime he did not commit. Lirien Caelthar, a rogue mage, discovers that her magic is changing, warping into something terrifying yet powerful. Prince Kaelen Veynor, heir to a crumbling empire, is thrust into a deadly political game as factions vie for control, claiming the Black Sun as a divine sign of their right to rule. As dark cults rise, old gods stir, and forgotten prophecies unravel, these three are drawn together by fate—or perhaps something far more sinister. Their journey will take them to the heart of the ancient world, where the truth behind the Black Sun awaits. But uncovering its secrets may cost them everything, for the Black Sun does not merely herald destruction—it offers a choice. Will they resist its pull and fight for the world as it was? Or will they embrace the darkness and forge something new from the ashes? The Black Sun Rises is a dark fantasy epic of power, destiny, and the price of reshaping fate itself.

When monsters sprouted from suddenly appearing towers all over the world, the world leaders created an organization of skilled warriors to tackle this problem. The warriors compromised of awakened humans; people who had gotten skills similar to those in a video game. Unfortunately, not everyone was willing to join this attack force, so the world leaders implemented a lottery-system to fill out the ranks. A few years later, Evelyn’s twin sister was chosen via lottery to become a discoverer, but their biased parents forced Evelyn to go in her sister's stead, putting her in the line of danger. The only salvation was that her finance was also sent on the same mission. The mission was to conquer a new Boss floor, and they were to fight against a monster of unpresented might. What she hadn’t expected was that her fiancé would betray her, because of a plot he concocted together with her sister. The monster annihilated their whole team before they were finally able to defeat it, but her fiancé had no thoughts of letting her leave the tower. Stabbing her in the back, he leered over her as he explained their plan while she slowly bled to death. With the last of her life force, dead set on getting her revenge on the man she had promised her life with, she heals the boss monster in hopes that it will kill him. As she slowly closes her eyes, the world going dark around her, a notification from the system pops up. “ New class: Black healer Congratulations! You have completed the hidden legendary quest, healing an S-ranked monster on its last breath by sacrificing yourself. Your immensely caring heart should be an inspiration to all healers, both human and monsters! Not caring for the wounded’s different race and even sacrificing the last of your own life, you have been given a new chance at life. ” Waking up, she is now back three years before the battle took place. Her new life starts now!

Space is vast, unfathomable—an ocean of shadows where humanity has advanced without understanding what lurks in its depths. Twenty-two years ago, a planet appeared out of nowhere. It was on no star map. It had no orbit, no light, no signs of life. Yet, it pulsed. Now, the ship Astraea-7 is on its way to meet it. The mission is clear. The crew knows why they are there. All except one. Haruto never asked to be part of this exploration. But his presence is no coincidence. He is the key—though he does not know it yet. As the ship crosses the planet’s threshold, signals distort, communication breaks, and the silence is filled with something else. Then, it happens. For the first time in human history, the abyss answers. And in the depths of the shadow, a voice whispers: “Welcome home.” Thus begins Haruto’s journey of self-discovery, where he will uncover the echoes of a forgotten past and the shadow of a future he has yet to understand.

Left for dead and armed only with an ancient System-bound amulet, Arlan embarks on a desperate mission to rescue the last of his family from a demonic conspiracy that threatens the entire kingdom. Guided by newfound allies—like the resourceful mage Sera and veteran guild captain Vars—Arlan rises from obscurity to become a recognized champion. As each triumph grants him new levels and mystical abilities, he uncovers the cult’s terrifying plan: to unseal the Demon King Azrath, a being once banished from the mortal realm.
