In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

Oh, where do I even begin with this epic tale of the world of the four realms? Let me paint you a picture of a world beyond your wildest imagination, a world created by not just one, but Six almighty Gods, over a billion years ago! The Six Almighty Gods created Arcana, the realm of the Gods. Olympia, the realm of the Celestials, who were children of the Gods. Lyra, an empty realm. And the Abyss, the realm of the dead. Now, let's talk about Lyra, the third realm. Picture this, a vast and empty realm, devoid of any life. But then, the Six Gods didn't just leave it empty, they created not one, not two, but eight different races of lower beings to inhabit it! Can you even fathom the sheer scale of creativity and imagination it must have taken to create such diverse and fascinating creatures? We have Monsters, Demons, Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves, Fairies, and Beasts, all living together in Lyra. Our story focuses on Jordan, the lazy genius second prince of the mighty Wolf clan. After leaving the Underground Tower - his home for 21 years, he arrives at the Wolf clan city to take over as leader, but instead, he unites all the fifteen monster clans under him. And with that he created the most powerful empire on the continent, The Northern Empire. When other races discovered the new nation of monsters, one human kingdom decided to wage war against them, thinking they were a new and weak kingdom. This war sets off a chain reaction that triggers the Great Change - a series of events that transform the world in ways both destructive and evolutionary. But the new Empire was in no way weak. Jordan and his empire went to war on the human kingdom and three of the six demon lords. Jordan used this war to solidify the standing of his Empire in the continent and gain authority among the Kings and Queens of the Mavis continent. But all this was just a means to an end for Jordan's ultimate goal. When he left the Underground Tower, he discovered that The Veil used to trap the Demon race was about to break. And with that, the release of the Demon Legion, the largest and most powerful army on the continent. Now Jordan must rally not just the monsters, but all other five races: Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves and Fairies, together and face against the powerful demon army. War, death, and destruction ensue, and amidst the chaos, Jordan finds himself at the center of it all.

Uche had spent most of his life in hiding, constantly on the run, all because of a trait that made him different from everyone else. He possessed a strange power that allowed his body to heal from almost any injury, instantly. While this might seem like an incredible, life-saving ability in a world full of mere mortals, it only brought Uche misery and trouble, turning him into an outcast. People called him a Monster, shunned him, and wished him nothing but death. But while most wanted him gone, there were others who saw him differently. Instead of calling him a Monster, they referred to him as "Connect." Instead of driving him away, they sought to capture him, to use his power for their own gain. As a result, Uche had lived his life in fear, hiding from both those who despised him and those who wanted to exploit him—until the day he was kidnapped by an organ trafficking ring, and lost one of his eyes during a forced surgery, and that was when everything changed for him.

......... "Please Mr. Cruz, spare us. We made a terrible mistake, we are sorry............"Mrs Fisher said while on her knees " Spare you?!, Is this some kind of joke?"The tall man replied "We made a mistake!. Please we have no where to go" Mr. Fisher joined in the plea "Well, I'm sorry but not sorry, this District has been set aside for government construction. You won't want to get sued for obstruction of Government work right?!" He replied with a smirk "Take anything else, but please spare our house, please Commissioner Cruz" Mr. Fisher begged "You are a bunch of nuisance, what can you possibly offer huh!, Obstruction of Government Work and Trespassing!, You might have to pay a fine of 12million dollars!. Do you have that huge amount of money?" He said and Mr. Fisher's shoulder dropped in defeat I stared at my family for a while and felt useless. Even if I'll sacrifice alot just to see them in this situation, I couldn't neglect the fact that our house was about to be demolished because of my parents foolish mistake. I just came back from work and was in an hurry because the mere thought of the punishment for coming back late was nerve wrecking. Well, I felt a little bit of a relieve, atleast now, no one will notice I got home late. I was still contemplating on what to do, I had to save our house either way because I know I'll always be the one to suffer for the loss. No home means I have to earn extra cash and work extra hour. I stood up with wobbling legs and finally mustered the courage to talk "Excuse me sir, I don't think that's enough reasons to demolish our house......... I mean vot-voting is a choice we make and-and I think my family....... my family and the people of this district made that choice be-bec-because they............. " I stopped for a while when I realised the commissioner was moving closer to me and staring at me "Go on........" He said and kept on moving closer "I mean absolutely no disrespect sir but-but I think you should consider pardoning us" I said with pain written all over my face. I kept on praying he'll pardon us and........... but then it felt like a wasted wish "What the heck do you think you're doing you witch?!......." My mom said and pulled me down and I ended up hurting my knee "So now you go against me then take turns in lecturing me on what you think is right and what is wrong............... " He said with a smirk "No that's not......... " I couldn't complete my sentence because he suddenly smiled coldly and I felt my heart jump out, We were already in for it, I just complicated the whole issue and there was no way he would forgive us............ "That's intruiging and quite bold........ " He turned to my parents and finally said........... ............. "I'll take her, in exchange for this District and your title as my inlaw................. "

A young boy is taken from his family and is forced to fight to the death within a stone prison, after 10 years of torture he had vowed to never kill a person and now plans to escape his captors.

Jamie Wentworth is brilliant, isolated, and tired of living as the forgotten son in a powerful family that sees him only as a tool. He’s a genius who’s saved his father’s empire more times than anyone will admit, yet his intelligence has become his curse, chaining him to a loveless home and a relentless life. When he learns of a phenomenon known as The Simulation—a place where people disappear into an alternate reality of powers, danger, and epic quests—he’s drawn to it like a moth to flame. But the Simulation isn’t what Jamie expected. He enters as “Ghost,” a critically injured figure with no memories, no allies, and a fractured past. Equipped with a mysterious “Deck of Cards” skill, he’s able to toggle between roles—Extra, Villain, and the greyed out Protagonist. Each card grants him a persona with unique powers and risks, but swapping between them exacts a heavy toll on his body and mind. Forced to start as the weakest player in a ruthless prison world, Jamie must use his wits and courage to survive against those who’d see him fail. In this new world, he’ll uncover secrets, make dangerous allies, and unlock powers that will take him far beyond anything he’s known. To survive, Jamie will need to outplay scheming npcs, merciless factions, and his own dark legacy as he unravels the mystery of “Ghost”—and the truth of his own soul. But in the Simulation, there’s one rule above all: If you die here, you die in real life. The deeper he dives, the more he realizes this is his only chance at freedom… and his greatest gamble yet.

In a vast desert, King Maymum embarks on a desperate journey to find a caravan that holds his kidnapped son, Cacin. Along the way, he encounters Ihtizaz, a lost man from the caravan, who offers his help. Ihtizaz reveals that Cacin is being held by a tribe of black magic practitioners, who are preparing him for a dark sacrifice. As Cacin becomes increasingly aware of his grim fate, he struggles to make sense of his captivity and the tribe's mystical practices. Tensions rise as the king and Ihtizaz race against time to rescue Cacin. When a great flood wipes out the tribe, the survivors—King Maymum and his son—must come to terms with their traumatic past and their uncertain future, while the tribe's demand for ransom still looms over them.

Eighteen-year-old Nabil suddenly finds himself transported to a dangerous, game-like world along with 50 other players. Scattered across a vast realm of 10 continents, the players quickly realize that while this world bears striking similarities to a popular game they once knew, it is no virtual landscape. Instead, it is a reality created by a higher-dimensional god, who has sent them here for his own twisted form of gambling entertainment. This god watches from his dimension as the players struggle for survival, their fates dangling by the thread of his whims. The rules are brutal. Each player has one year—365 days—to find a way out. However, only five can escape, leaving the others trapped in this deadly world, or worse, condemned to an unknown fate. The stakes are high: killing another player grants points, and accumulating enough points may be the only way to secure one of the five spots for freedom. Alliances will form, and betrayals are inevitable, as desperation pushes players to act in ways they never imagined. Nabil, initially feeling hopeless, is seemingly dealt the weakest ability among all the players: the power to control pets. Compared to others who possess flashy and devastating skills, his ability appears laughable at first. Worse, he has no additional skills to rely on—only his wits, his ability to command creatures, and his will to survive. Yet, as Nabil explores this dangerous world, he soon learns that his power may hold more potential than he ever imagined. In a realm filled with monstrous beasts, rival players, and deadly environments, his pet control ability could be his key to survival. Through taming and commanding various creatures, Nabil begins to develop a unique strategy that allows him to take on both powerful enemies and cunning rivals. But Nabil knows the harsh reality: every player is a threat. As alliances shift and tensions rise, he must carefully navigate who to trust and who to eliminate. With limited time and a finite number of players allowed to return home, the competition grows deadlier by the day. Nabil’s journey is not just about brute strength; it’s a test of cunning, survival instincts, and the ability to uncover the true potential of his seemingly weak power. As he uncovers more about this mysterious world, Nabil begins to question the motives of the higher-dimensional god who put them here. Is there more to this cruel game than just survival? What hidden secrets does this god’s world hold, and is there a way to outsmart the rules entirely? Nabil must not only survive but find a way to escape this nightmare—before it consumes him and the others entirely.
