Lukas Rhoan, a man whose life was filled with struggle and monotony, meets an untimely end only to awaken in a strange and ancient world. To his astonishment, he finds himself reborn not as a man but as a pup of the Canis Dominator—a prehistoric apex predator said to rival even the Smilodon Populator in size and power. Set in the Cenozoic Era, Quaternary Period, Pleistocene Epoch, Lukas must adapt quickly to survive in a brutal world where every day is a battle against nature, predators, and the relentless march of time. As a juvenile, he is small and vulnerable but armed with the extraordinary potential of his species: strength, speed, intelligence, and a bite force capable of breaking bone. Driven by human memories and instincts, Lukas navigates this unforgiving landscape, hunting for food, learning the ways of his new body, and grappling with the isolation of being the only creature in the prehistoric wilderness with the mind of a man. Along the way, he encounters other fearsome creatures—mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and ancient humans—testing his instincts and his resolve. But the Canis Dominator is no ordinary predator. With each challenge, Lukas grows stronger, evolving into the pinnacle of survival. His journey is not just about adapting to a new form—it’s about discovering what it means to live fully in a world where survival is earned, not given. As Lukas embraces his destiny as the ultimate predator, he begins to question: Was he reborn by chance, or is there a greater purpose behind his transformation into the king of the Pleistocene?

Collision Course—where four high school friends who could barely keep their eyes open in history class suddenly find themselves racing to the corner store for no reason at all, when—bam—they get hit by a cab. But this isn’t your regular “get hit by a cab and regret life choices” situation. Nope, this is more like getting dragged into a cosmic time-fixing mess with no manual or instructions. Now, these four are stuck as “time janitors,” cleaning up the messes of the universe, but, spoiler alert, none of them are thrilled. The weirdest part? They wake up the next day like nothing happened—except, apparently, they’re now the unofficial time-savers for an invisible entity who just LOVES to throw vague, life-altering ultimatums their way. Classic Thursday, am I right? Ian, the class clown, doesn’t exactly seem ready for interdimensional travel. Claire’s too busy texting to care. Wes thinks this is one big, cosmic prank. And Nora? Well, she’s just excited to see how it all blows up. And the kicker? The world keeps moving on like nothing’s changed, even though everything is about to go completely sideways. Time’s broken, and guess who has to fix it? Yep. These poor, time-traveling teens. What could possibly go wrong?

After a mysterious gas was released into the planet's atmosphere, the population suddenly found themselves with mystical powers. Ranging from superhero abilities known only in comics, to incredibly specific and hardly practical. When your worth is now decided by birth, how does one live? When talent merely becomes a word to explain a fortunate ability, how do you stand out? Heroes, Villains, Vigilantes. Stories and myths of such beings became commonplace. Governments requiring powerful abilities to keep order. The Hero Association attempting to keep its influence through monetization. Villain groups abusing their powers. Vigilantes attempting to fight against such tyranny and unfairness. Corruption rampant as always. Like stated, these stories are commonplace. Mass produced even. So what about a narrower focus? A lawless city ruled by an order of Street Gangs. This isn't the story of a selfless uprising Hero, or a Villain who wreaks destruction, or even a Vigilante who wants a better world. Rather it's a story of the struggle of the strong. People who gather others underneath them, and fight against rivals. All to rise to the top and rule this city. Would you care to join? This isn't a grand story, it might not be to your taste. Can you stand beside those who struggle, without a guarantee for a satisfying end? As they fight to stand at the top, or be consumed? If so, allow me to tell you this story. (WARNING: THIS VOLUME CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND STRONG LANGUAGE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED)

Rajani sighed deeply as her beautiful eyes became glassy like diamonds. "Yeah, but listen. I get why Beauty fell in love with the Beast, but it doesn’t change who Helel is. I wish there was a magical rose or kiss that could turn him into a charming, loving prince but there isn't. All Helel Faye will ever be is a beast. A cold-hearted, ruthless beast that has no empathy or regard for any living thing! All he cares about is himself-" "Rajani," a soft, deep, feminine voice said as a caring hand caressed Rajani's quivering shoulder. "It's okay. If Helel wants to be a ruthless animal, just let him be. He's not important. Everyday is something new about him, and by saying all this shit about him - it makes you look obsessed... and crazy." Rajani stood up from her chair and started yelling at her friend like a mad woman. She was furious at her - after all this time of venting her struggles and frustration to her, she decides to call her crazy and obsessed? Rajani was tired of people calling her crazy, mentally-ill, unhinged, and clinically-insane. She believed that she wasn't crazy at all, it was just that no one understood her.

She dreaded the fact that she gave her boyfriend all sorts of mental disorders and illnesses like depression and anxiety. Now Rajani hated herself even more than her ex did. She was only trying to get the best for everyone she loved but she just ended up doing the polar opposite.
