Odds Against Tomorrow

After the Kingdom of Runalond united the world 500 years ago, its signature Rune Art became a part of citizens’ everyday lives. No matter one's identity or status, all children at the age of 16 are granted the right to study at a Rune Art Academy in order to secure a place in society. However, one region is an exception. Lostburg, inhabited by outcasts, scoundrels, and rejects, is a large town completely abandoned by any form of law and support from the kingdom. Though poor and uneducated, it remains a relatively comfortable place to live... if you know how. Nathan Modernson, a young boy born and raised in Lostburg, has never met his mother and lives a humble life alongside his rogue father. With his wits of speech and mindfulness of the environment, he believes nobody knew how to live freely and happily in Lostburg more than him. Just when Nathan thinks this is as far as his life goes, one ordinary day, his father suddenly asks him a simple yet peculiar question. Nathan’s seemingly careless response, changed him, and possibly the entire world, forever.

She was never meant to be soft. Born in a world where strength was survival, love was a distraction, and success was the only validation, she sculpted herself into the perfect lawyer—ruthless, logical, and untouchable. He was everything she wasn’t—kind, patient, and completely unshaken by the chaos of the world. A businessman with power, wealth, and influence, yet he never let them define him. When their worlds collide, he sees past her walls, past her sharp words and unshakable control. He sees her. And that is where the story begins.

In a world where humans wield supernatural abilities, power defines everything—status, survival, and even destiny. Jamal, an ordinary teenager, believes he was dealt a weak hand in life. Unlike the prodigies around him, his abilities seem insignificant. But when a near-fatal encounter awakens something deep within him, he realizes his powers hold a potential far beyond his imagination. As dark forces rise and rival factions clash, Jamal must navigate a treacherous path filled with enemies, betrayals, and revelations about his true nature. Among them stands Youden, a mysterious figure whose motives are as enigmatic as his strength. Can Jamal unlock his full power before it’s too late? Or will he be crushed under the weight of a world that only respects the strong? A high-stakes adventure filled with action, mystery, and supernatural battles.

Tapiwa once had a tremendous dream, in a society where males were superior to women, women had few rights or voices, and in a world where magic and skills were superior to all else. Her dream was to marry a gorgeous, faithful, and caring husband and become the only mistress of the house, leaving her natal family, where she lived under pressure and in the shadows of her siblings. Growing up in a world where polygamy was common and siblings turned on one another. Tapiwa just wanted a place to live and to be in a monogamous relationship in a world where magic was present and sibling rivalry was fatal, especially because only a few could become mages. What she thought was the perfect beginning to a lovely dream became a nightmare that tormented her for a decade. Tapiwa divorced her spouse and fled to an unknown location where her relatives and friends could not find her. Tapiwa thought she had no reason to live in this world anymore, but that changed when she saved an old lady, who endowed her with heavenly graces, giving her power and a second chance at life. Tapiwa, armed with this divine blessing, decided to perform the impossible in a world where women were nothing more than child bearers. She was going to do everything she could with what she now had to empower women and establish a better future, not just for herself, but also for the women who didn't have a voice. She was going to fight for all women, mages and not, to make sure their voices were heard, they were seen, and, most importantly, they were treated like the queens they were born to be. She was going to fight for supremacy against all obstacles, and nothing or no one was going to stop her.

"She didn't want his heart to protect it, she wanted it to break it." Amara, a woman who was found mysteriously in the woods, her innocent-looking eyes filled up with tears. She couldn't speak properly but suddenly, she was all over the Alpha, Nicolas. The same guy who gave her shelter in the pack. "Behave, Amara, you won't like the consequences later," he said. "I don't want to behave, I want to be disciplined by you. F*ck me, daddy."

Fate... Gods... Parant... These concepts are elusive and their powers unfathomable. Their existence is cloaked in mystery, beyond the understanding of mere mortals. One should never become their enemy, for it would be an unfair battle. But since when has the world been fair? It has never been fair, and this is especially true for Raiwan. Once a humble kid whose past grievances led him to what he had become as his parents were killed by the treacherous king of his continent. this led him to this pivotal moment, he must contend not only with the might of kings, but also with the whims of fate and the gods. Each of these forces is formidable enough to crush a person under the weight of their mere gaze. The kings are so powerful that in their presence, Raiwan is like a mere fly before a dragon, a creature feared by all beings. No matter how many flies gather, they cannot harm the dragon. One breath of its flames, and Raiwan would be incinerated. Fate? Fate is even worse. To it, Raiwan is just a puppet. It is mysterious, formidable, and cunning. Every action, every thought, every encounter—whether friend or foe—might be Fate playing its tricks. It could easily turn the entire world against him if it so wished. And woe to anyone who dares to oppose the gods. For there is no winning, only losing. How can one fight beings whose weakest powers are omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent? They know all your plans before you make them, hear your thoughts more clearly than you do. There is no hiding from them. After a calamitous battle in the mystical city of Katafshan, Raiwan received a chilling notification from his system that sent shivers down his spine, his body shaking as if struck by lightning. The message was clear and terrifying: [Alert!] [The god of doom has entered this universe solely to get rid of you.] [New quest received: ] [Reward: ]

Below them, countless minor realms of all types existed, none able to match the might of any of the Three Fundamental realms. The Celestials led the Heavenly Realm, The Immortals led the Earthen Realm and Demons led the Infernal Realm while the Rulers controlled all the minor realms.

In 2179, Earth is unrecognizable. After a global outbreak in 2019 killed 10% of humanity and triggered spontaneous supernatural abilities, the Great Expansion (2077) reshaped the planet: landmasses grew tenfold, new moons appeared, and mythical races emerged. The World Peace Accords (2103) forged a fragile truce between gods, demons, sentient races, and empowered humans. Ikaros, a Coffeshop worker in Zurich, receives a letter to the Hephaestus Institute, where he discovers he possesses two rare powers: Energy Manipulation and Runic Philology.

As Ikaros uncovers the truth behind the history that birthed humanity’s powers, he must navigate a war where survival hinges on mastering his gifts… or becoming a pawn in someone else’s game.

Like in the way that they came to be as fiction?  Yet despite their grandeur, all these legends that were once real truths and events witnessed by many people, are now nothing but mere fantasies. Have you ever wondered where these fairy tales and myths originated? or at least why they suddenly became such fantasies and stories with no evidence of them whatsoever? Well, the answer to that is simply because of one person... that person in a journey of regaining his fragmented memories scattered across the world, killed, sealed, purified and placated all manner of creatures. Why do you ask? simply put, he had to. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to get his memories back... completely oblivious that he became the protector of the cosmos in the process. His name? Well, he had many names and aliases. but ultimately goes by the name... Leon
