In 2213, humanity faced an unimaginable nightmare. Monsters—horrifying, relentless, and otherworldly—began to emerge without warning, attacking everything in their path. Humanity’s best weapons proved useless against these creatures, and as cities and territories fell, nations were forced to unite in a desperate fight for survival. Amidst the chaos, some who were exposed to these creatures developed unique powers. They documented their newfound abilities in ancient-like books, which became crucial training tools for the military. When the immediate crisis eased, these ability books were made available to the public, offering a glimmer of hope and a way to fight back. The original ability-users, known as the “Pioneers,” formed their own factions, working alongside—but often apart from—the united government, which had reformed as a global military. These newfound abilities transformed society, sparking extraordinary technological advances and reshaping the world. Now, in 2225, 16-year-old Roland faces the start of his own journey. It’s his turn to attend the military academy, where every young person trains to defend humanity from the monsters. But Roland holds a mysterious book, left by his family, with secrets that may redefine his destiny—and perhaps even rewrite his past.

A new journey begins. *** Hello to all those reading and thank you for taking the time to check out my series. This is my first story that I'm posting online and I am serious about writing Vampire Legacy to be the best it can be. Though I do need to make clear that the first 100-200 chapters will be a mix of comedy and serious arcs. This will be a fantasy action story just as much as a comedy/slice of life story until the true plot kicks in. I plan to go all in with the comedy, then when we get to a certain turning point, the breaks will not stop with 13 long continuous serious arcs that will go until the finale. This novel will definitely be at least 500 chapters. I hope you all stay and see what I have to offer. *The cover is fanart for the anime The Case Study of Vanitas. I’m using it instead of the basic book cover until I draw the key visual myself.*

I stared across the clearing into the piercing golden eyes of the wolf that I had seen a thousand times before. However, despite seeing her over and over again, I had never once seen her face to face. While I was running, I kept repeating a word in my head. The same word over and over again. “Mate! Mate! Mate! Mate!” I thought at first that it was me saying it, but it wasn’t my voice, not exactly. It was close to my voice, but not a perfect match. “Is that you?” I asked myself as I ran deep into the forest. I wasn’t going to be able to hold out for much longer. “Is that really you?” I sobbed in relief.. Rika is nineteen and has a secret that she has been keeping from her family. She is a wolf shifter in the most famous and well-known pack in the world. She is daughter to Trinity and Reece Gray, the King and Queen of all the shifter and magic users in the world, and yet, Rika is losing touch with her wolf more and more each day. Not only that, but she can feel her slipping away from her inch by inch, and fears that she might lose her altogether. On top of feeling as if one day very soon she might never be able to shift again, Rika and her twin brother Reagan have been given a very complicated task. They must help foster the peace between the humans and non-humans of the world now that the veil of secrecy has been removed. The world knows now that the creatures that go bump in the night, vampires, werewolves, witches, Fae, werebears, and more, oh my, are all real. Not all of those people who now know the truth are all that happy about it. Foster a positive relationship with the humans, sure thing. Find the group of people responsible for supposed monster bashings, no problem. Navigate life while also trying to find their own mates. Now that might be a problem. On top of all the other things on their plate, Rika, Reagan, and all the other children of the fabled legacies must learn how to be themselves in a world that will never be the same again. Love and lust, anger and rage, happiness and confusion, emotions will be all over the place as the Chosen Legacy fight for all mankind, human and not. “Rika, you need to tell someone about this. You need to tell them what is going on.” Reagan was glaring at me as I fought that empty feeling inside of me. “I can’t, Reagan. You don’t get it. You don’t know what it’s like to lose that part of you.” “You’re right, I don’t, but it will never get better if you don’t try to do something about it.” His anger made his eyes flash bright blue in the darkness of the night. The way that they were shining, I could tell that it wasn’t just the reflection of the moon, this was his power, this was the essence that was my brother. “Leave me alone.” I snapped as I ran away from him. I was fighting against my tears, holding them back so that he wouldn’t see how much this was hurting me. Not only that, but I couldn’t let him see that it was too late, that my wolf was already gone. Chosen Legacy is a story that has a little bit of everything. It is a coming of age story, where multiple legacies, Rika included, matures emotionally and mentally while learning to navigate the ever-changing world. It is a mystery and suspense as the twins, along with their group of friends, search for the group that has been attacking innocent people around their campus. And it is a hot and steamy romance where each of the legacies will find their one true love to last a lifetime. Who and what does fate have in store for these legacies, and what adventures will they have along the way? This story will change the POV so that it will focus on multiple characters. The character name will be in the chapter title and at the top of the chapter. This is a massive story that will encompass many mating between different characters and a lot of the cast from the book 'Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha'. It is a stand-alone book. However, you do not need to have read the original to follow along.

In a world where five powerful clans Magic, Time, Shape-Shifters, Elementals, and ordinary Humans exist in a delicate balance, one figure stands between order and chaos: the Diviner. For generations, this impartial guardian has maintained peace, ensuring no faction gains dominance. But now, the reign of the elderly Diviner, Elowen, is nearing its end. By ancient tradition, the next Diviner must come from the clan of ordinary Humans—those without supernatural abilities. As Elowen’s health fades, the clans prepare for the transition, knowing that the Diviner's role is crucial to preserving harmony. Yet, one man seeks to disrupt this fragile equilibrium. Lucius, a power-hungry leader from one of the gifted clans, sees the Diviner’s death as his opportunity to seize control. He will stop at nothing to prevent the rise of the next Diviner, believing that without this impartial figure, he can tip the scales in favor of his clan. The chosen successor, an unassuming Human, finds themselves thrust into a deadly struggle for survival. With no powers of their own, they must rely on wit, courage, and unlikely allies to outmaneuver Lucius's schemes. As the forces of greed and ambition converge, the future of the five clans hinges on whether this ordinary individual can rise to their destined role—or if Lucius will plunge the world into a new age of tyranny. In this high-stakes tale of power, betrayal, and destiny, the line between the powerless and the powerful blurs, and the fate of the world rests in the hands of an unlikely hero.
