ASCENSION OF THE UNKNOWN GOD.

In a world where magic and technology intertwine, where gods walk among mortals and celestial forces dictate the fate of civilizations, Elian Drayven stands as an anomaly—an enigma hidden in plain sight. Born with magic powerful enough to rival the gods themselves, his abilities remain locked behind an intricate system, demanding growth and mastery before he can wield his full potential. Raised in the futuristic city of Elyndria, Elian is a student at Astralis Academy, a prestigious institution that molds the strongest warriors and spellcasters. Yet, unbeknownst to his peers, he harbors a secret that could shake the foundations of the world. Only Eve, his ever-present AI companion, knows the truth: Elian is more than just a prodigy—he is a threat to the very balance of power. When a sudden surge of uncontrolled energy draws the attention of the Celestial Sanctum, an elite governing force that monitors magical anomalies, Elian finds himself on the precipice of discovery. As factions within Elyndria mobilize to uncover the source of this mysterious disturbance, powerful figures begin to take notice—some seeking to eliminate him, others eager to use him as a weapon. Haunted by the remnants of a past war that claimed his parents, pursued by forces that seek to either control or destroy him, Elian must navigate a treacherous path filled with ancient secrets, deadly adversaries, and an unfolding prophecy that ties his fate to the forgotten history of the gods. As he levels up and unlocks the dormant powers within him, Elian must decide: will he remain hidden in the shadows, or will he rise and forge his own legend—one that defies both fate and the gods themselves? ---

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

How Did a Commoner Like Me End Up in a Royal Academy?! (Blame My Aunt)

Rein Aster is just a scary-looking commoner who wants a peaceful life. Unfortunately, life has other plans. Thanks to a clerical error (or maybe divine mischief), he’s accidentally enrolled in Astrelia Royal Academy—a prestigious institution meant only for nobles of pure bloodlines. His presence alone is a scandal, and the academy’s elite students demand his immediate expulsion. But there’s just one problem: Rein is an absolute monster in combat. Having been raised and trained by his terrifying aunt, Lilith Aster, a so-called "Demon Lord" (who’s actually a legendary hero), Rein endured years of brutal training disguised as "character-building exercises." Now, thanks to that hellish upbringing, he’s: Unfazed by deadly magic, casually walking off spells that would cripple knights. A natural-born warrior, wielding weapons like an extension of his own body. So desensitized to pain that academy duels feel like a relaxing pastime. At first, the noble factions try to crush him. Instead, he crushes their expectations. Celestia von Ardentia, the prideful high elf princess, sees him as a brute—until she realizes his strength is beyond noble superiority. Eleanor du Rosette, the cold and calculating half-dragon, suspects Rein is no mere commoner and sets out to uncover his secrets. Lilia von Helios, the mischievous fox girl, finds him endlessly amusing and attaches herself to him for entertainment. Seraphina Nachtwald, the feared dark elf villainess, is shocked when Rein doesn’t flinch at her intimidation tactics—and starts shadowing him instead. As Rein unwittingly shakes up the entire academy, dark forces begin to stir. An underground faction sees him as a threat, and assassins are sent to eliminate him. Too bad Rein just assumes they’re part of a particularly intense training exercise. And just when the academy reaches peak chaos, the truth is revealed: Rein Aster isn’t just any commoner. He’s the nephew of the strongest hero in history. His reaction? "Wait… my aunt was a hero?! I thought she was just a crazy old lady!" A ridiculous fantasy romcom harem where the overpowered commoner just wants a quiet life—but accidentally conquers the royal academy instead!

Gangsters:Rise To The Top

Gangsters: Rise to the Top In a world ruled by gangs and corruption, power is everything. The strong dominate, and the weak are nothing more than pawns in a system designed to crush them. Strength isn’t just a choice—it’s survival. And nothing determines a fighter’s potential more than their AURA. Every awakened human possesses an Aura Color, a force that enhances their speed, strength, and endurance. Among the ten known colors, Yellow Aura is the rarest and most powerful, possessed only by legends. Mriganko Doley (Mri) is one of them. Once the undefeated champion of Dibrugarh Academy, Mri lived for the fight, respected and feared by all. But when a tragic incident left his sister in a coma, everything changed. That day, he made a vow—he would never be weak again. He would destroy the gang system that shattered his life. His path leads him to Jengraimukh Tiniali Academy, a massive institution with 30,000 students, where strength determines everything. The academy is a battlefield ruled by powerful student unions, underground fights, and secret alliances. But what Mri doesn’t know is that the gangs are only the beginning. Lurking behind the chaos is the World Government, a hidden force that controls the world’s most powerful factions. Their enforcers are untouchable, their leaders are unseen, and their influence is absolute. Those who defy them are erased from history. To rise to the top, Mri must fight through gang wars, ruthless assassins, and the academy’s strongest warriors. He will forge powerful alliances, suffer heartbreaking betrayals, and uncover the hidden truth behind the Aura System itself. Gang wars. Power struggles. Secret organizations. A battle against the world’s greatest rulers. To rise to the top, one must first survive the fall.

No Tier Hero

In a world where every individual is born with a unique power—a manifestation of their soul known as Aura—strength and status are defined by the type and tier of one’s ability. Aura users are categorized into three types: Natural Types, who control the elements; Transformation Types, who can alter their physical form; and Emitter Types, whose unpredictable abilities defy categorization. These powers are further divided into tiers, ranging from the weak Low Tiers to the godlike National Tiers, with legends like Mariana, the Sword Saint, standing at the pinnacle of power. Yet, above even them lies the myth of Timmy, a man so powerful and feared that his name was erased from history, his legacy a haunting reminder of the chaos Aura can unleash. But in this world of extraordinary abilities, Daniel is an anomaly. Born without an Aura, he is powerless in a society that values strength above all else. Despite his lack of abilities, Daniel dreams of becoming a hero, a dream that has led to countless failures and humiliations. Now 17, he enrolls at Gateway High School, a crumbling institution for Low and Mid Tiers, where he hopes to find a path to his dream. However, Gateway is far from welcoming. Its reputation is poor, its students are ruthless, and Daniel’s lack of power makes him an easy target. The question remains: Can Daniel survive in this world without any powers? In a place where strength is everything, will his determination and resilience be enough to carve out a place for himself, or will the weight of his powerlessness crush him before he can even begin? The odds are stacked against him, but Daniel isn’t ready to give up. Not yet
