*Kieran Alaric was a survivor in a world of ash and blood—a man who clawed his way to the top through betrayal and sacrifice. But when his death marks the end of Earth’s final battle, he wakes up in the past, trapped in the frail body of a dying man. Armed with memories of an apocalypse yet to come, Kieran must outsmart an indifferent world, build alliances, and prepare for Judgment Day. But as he digs deeper into the cause of humanity’s downfall, he uncovers a terrifying truth: he wasn’t the only one sent back in time. In a world teetering on the edge of annihilation, where blood powers the strongest and betrayal runs deep, Kieran must fight not just to survive—but to rewrite destiny itself.

"Dead men don’t stay dead... unless they’re forgotten." Once, Dominic "Dom" Ricci was the untouchable kingpin of the underworld—a man whose empire stretched across neon-lit streets and shadowy alleys. But betrayal cuts deeper than bullets, and when Dom's trusted right-hand man, Vincent "Vinnie" Costa, orchestrates his downfall, everything he built comes crashing down in a storm of blood and fire. Now, presumed dead by the city he once ruled, Dom emerges from the shadows—not as a victim, but as a predator. With nothing left to lose, he begins to rebuild his empire, one dangerous move at a time. Recruiting allies old and new, navigating shifting loyalties, and unraveling a web of deceit that runs deeper than anyone imagined, Dom wages war against the man who stole his throne—and the corrupt system that let it happen. In this game of power, every step forward could be his last. As alliances fracture, secrets unravel, and enemies close in, Dom must decide what kind of ruler he wants to be: ruthless or redeemed. Because in a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is inevitable, even kings can fall. And sometimes, rising again means burning brighter—or burning everything to ashes. Betrayal sparks the flame. Power fuels the fire. In the Empire of Ashes, survival is the only rule.

~ Rowena "My ancestors stood shoulder to shoulder with the founders of Glenmorvane, centuries ago. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, my family and I have been reduced to nothing more than hunted prey, subjected to unimaginable torture and brutality. My kind has been all but exterminated, and my sister was burned alive at the stake. Consumed by a burning desire for vengeance, I now live for one purpose alone: to unleash my wrath upon the world that wronged me, one devastating spell at a time." ~ Emris "We're the blighters responsible for the utter misery and suffering that's ravaging the globe, old chap. I've got everything one could possibly desire - wealth, power, the whole shebang. And yet, my dear, all I seem to be hankering after is... you. I daresay you must be wondering why on earth I've chosen to spare your life. Why I haven't, shall we say, indulged in your... particular brand of sustenance. Well, my dear, it's quite simple really. There's something dashedly special about you, and soon you’ll find out." ~ Irene "I'm so... done. I should've ended it all when I had the chance. But no, I hesitated. And now... now I'm paying the price. We've always been prey to them, and I'm no exception. I'm just a fragile, foolish, complicated thing... and I'm so tired of fighting. Tired of running. Tired of being hunted. I can’t wait for him to kill me and task my body with the rest… I’m exhausted

—WSA 2025 ENTRY— James awakens on a strange platform, high above a sprawling field, with no memory of how he arrived and no idea what's going on. A voice booms, issuing instructions but James barely hears. Around him, others seem to understand what’s at stake as the fighting begins. But to James, this might as well be a vivid dream. Unaware of the risks, where death is permanent, he dives into a series of deadly challenges and deadlier opponents in an attempt to gain power and piece together the mystery of this twisted game.

In a world where the dead cling to the living through malevolent spirits called *Shades*, 19-year-old **Jin Soel** harbors a cursed gift: he can resurrect the dead, but each act of defiance against death exacts a gruesome toll. A degenerative curse known as **the Rot** consumes his body, crumbling it piece by piece. Torn between desperation and guilt, Jin uses his power to dig up graves, seeking answers about his mother’s mysterious death years ago—and the monstrous Shade she became when he first unknowingly resurrected her. When Jin revives **Min-ah**, a murdered classmate, her soul erupts as a ferocious Shade, forcing him to destroy her corpse again to survive. Bloodied and crumbling, Jin is confronted by **Yuri**, a cryptic woman with one ghostly eye and a vial of temporary salvation. She drags him into the **Hollow Market**—a macabre underworld where the damned trade secrets, memories, and flesh. There, Jin learns Min-ah’s death was no random tragedy but part of a sinister *harvest* to breed powerful Shades. As Jin navigates this shadowy realm with Yuri—whose motives blur the line between ally and manipulator—he uncovers threads linking Min-ah’s murder to his mother’s past. But every resurrection Jin performs to unravel the truth accelerates the Rot, edging him closer to becoming one of the very monsters he hunts. With Shades growing stronger and his body failing, Jin must decide how much of himself he’s willing to lose to protect the living… and outrun the ghost of the mother he doomed to eternal torment. **Dark, visceral, and morally tangled**, *Bleeding Shadows* weaves a tale of cursed power, haunted legacies, and the price of clinging to those already gone. Perfect for fans of *Chainsaw Man*’s existential grit and *The Girl from the Other Side*’s eerie melancholy.

Discord: https://discord.gg/XuCwbVEh Nevalis, a nobleman from the Kingdom of Phillirion, thought of nobles as the ones he read about in books. A noble title did not mean money or power, but rather had deeper, higher values symbolizing responsibility and honor, for those who lived with the saying "with power comes responsibility ".  But when Nevalis went out into the world, he did not find it as he had imagined. Reality hit him in the face. Those bastards aren't nobles! Who do they think they are? They tarnished the noble title! They don't deserve that title anymore!" "I will be a true nobleman, a nobleman of all the nobles who have passed this world!" Nevalis seeks to truly redefine nobility, to fulfill his dream of becoming a true nobleman, more noble than all those who held the title before him. The plot revolves around his personal journey, which brings a combination of suffering, sacrifices, and ascent towards his goal, in the face of a cruel world full of illusions and deviations. The novel combines the profound lessons of honor and responsibility, and the challenges faced by humans in their quest for perfection.

But one man seeks to change everything. Aurelian Valerius, warrior-king and master tactician, refuses to be a pawn in the gods’ eternal game. From his first battle as a young commander to his rise as a ruler, he has crushed enemies through a blend of brutal strategy and unmatched skill in combat.
