In the desolate world of Neheinra, a man emerges as a beacon of hope amid overwhelming despair. Unlike the glorified heroes or despicable villains that populate tales of old, he embodies a profound sense of empathy and determination. Haunted by the echoes of a world once vibrant, now reduced to ruins, he witnesses the suffering of those around him—people who, like him, struggle to navigate the harsh realities of a post-apocalyptic existence. Driven by an unyielding sense of justice, he dedicates himself to alleviating the pain of his fellow survivors by being the sole beacon of support. His journey is not marked by superhuman feats or legendary accolades; rather, it is defined by small acts of kindness and courage that ripple through the shattered remnants of society. Each decision he makes is weighted with the knowledge of the consequences, and every life he touches is a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity. In a landscape where hope became a fragile flame, he strives to rekindle the spark of humanity, helping his people rebuild their spirits. This is a story of one man's fight against the tide of despair, a gentle defiance in the face of overwhelming odds, and a poignant reminder of the strength found in caring for others and perhaps himself in the long run.

They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own.

I am the last of my kind. The once-prestigious Ember Clan was erased from the face of the earth without a trace. In the beginning, we were close-like brothers and sisters. There existed a harmony among us, but everything changed one fateful morning. I still remember that day vividly: the morning my entire family was violently slaughtered before my eyes. They came clad in the most advanced fireproof vests, recently introduced to counter our abilities. We were no longer needed; they wanted us gone, discarded like a useless dog about to be put down by its infinitely stronger master. The land of Troxiya has always been ruled by the strongest clan, the Aqualians, who wield the most formidable elemental power-water. In every clan, it is believed that a phantom is born-a being of pure elemental ability, the pinnacle of their lineage, and the strongest among them. In our case, the last phantom born was my grandfather. After his death, my uncle became the strongest among us, but he lacked the strength and mastery to ascend as a monarch. Phantoms hold a unique place in Troxiya, as every monarch-the supreme power of the nation-is a phantom. Monarchs are beings who stand above all others; it is said that a single monarch can decimate an army of thousands. Without a phantom, a clan is powerless to maintain its influence. After my grandfather's death, the Ember Clan failed to produce another phantom born. As a result, we lost our connections and standing. Deemed useless and a threat because we are the children of fire, the supreme leader issued a decree: annihilate the Ember Clan. And so, my family-my entire clan-was wiped out in a calculated, merciless purge. Now, I am the last Ember, carrying the weight of our legacy and the fire of vengeance within me.

Haruto Takahashi was just a normal high school student in modern-day Japan—until he suddenly fell into a coma, never to age, never to awaken. His condition was as inexplicable as it was rare, a mystery shared by only a few others in all of human history. But unlike the others, Haruto eventually opens his eyes, nearly a thousand years later, to a world he no longer recognizes. Humanity stands on the edge of extinction. Alien invaders, towering and intelligent, now rule the planet, and the remnants of humankind survive only in scattered, fortified enclaves, fighting desperately against their monstrous conquerors. The Earth has become a battlefield, its skies darkened, its lands ravaged by alien plagues and relentless war. But Haruto’s awakening is no accident. He soon learns that he is the subject of ruthless experimentation, studied by those who seek to uncover the mystery of his unaging body and the secrets he unknowingly harbors. As he grapples with fragments of memories from a world long gone, Haruto is thrust into a brutal struggle, caught between warring factions and ancient mysteries that blur the line between ally and enemy. With nothing but memories of his old life and a newfound world that views him as both weapon and relic, Haruto must discover why he alone was brought back from an endless sleep—and what that might mean for the survival of those who remain. For some mysteries are better left buried, and some fates cannot be escaped.

It was supposed to be a new beginning—fresh faces, towering mountains, and the promise of untamed horizons. But the world doesn’t always play fair. The snow-covered peaks held secrets, ancient whispers that pulled at the edges of reality. A frosted gaze, a frozen heart. A fleeting warmth that lingered, only to unravel. The air was heavy, the nights restless. I was unlucky. A quiet campus turned labyrinthine. Paths twisted into trails where footsteps vanished, and in the silence, shadows became more than just absence. Questions followed like echoes: What am I? What do I belong to? And why does the sky feel too close and too far all at once? A frostbite that never healed. A cliff's edge that wouldn’t let go. A hand reached out—divine or cruel? Each step forward pulled deeper into the unknown, where gods didn’t walk, but fragments of them did, fractured and wary, watching. The world isn’t broken; it’s just no longer whole. Beyond the mountains, among the clouds, lies a story unwritten, where reality bends and belief becomes the weight that anchors existence. But the question is simple: Can you bear the cold?
