Last Of The Mountainmen

In a decaying future where reality is held together by ancient, invisible threads, the world relies on a mysterious force known as the Loom to maintain the Laws of existence. Every cycle, thousands are Chosen—dragged into the Vestige Layer, a fragmented nightmare realm where survival unlocks power and the Laws of the universe become weapons. But when Cael Ren, a street-born orphan from the industrial underbelly of New Kaelstrom, is Called, something goes wrong. The Loom tries to erase him. Instead, it fractures. Marked by a cracked crescent sigil and denied a Law, Cael awakens in the Vestige not as a Chosen, but as something unwritten—Threadless. His presence distorts the rules, defies the system, and draws the attention of forgotten horrors that remember a time before the Loom existed. Now, hunted by Lawbound abominations, distrusted by survivors, and stalked by an ancient presence whispering through his blood, Cael must unravel the secrets of his own origin—and the truth behind the so-called “Last Law” that even the gods tried to forget. Because the Loom is failing. And the last thread might be him.

Nerina is no ordinary mermaid. Born of deep-sea magic. According to ancient lore, if she sheds her final pearl for someone who truly loves her in return, she will become human. But time is running out, and the ocean grows restless. Drawn to a secluded island by visions of her fated love, Nerina washes ashore in the middle of a storm and straight into the life of Theo Virell. Ruthless, ambitious, and emotionally locked away, Theo is a young billionaire businessman seeking to turn the island into his next luxury resort. He doesn't believe in love. He doesn’t believe in magic. And he certainly doesn’t believe in mermaids. At first, he sees Nerina as nothing more than a delusional castaway. But the more time they spend together, the more cracks form in his carefully guarded world. Nerina’s sincerity, her wonder, and the haunting sorrow behind her eyes begin to stir something long buried inside him. As love tentatively blooms between them, the sea fights back. Nerina's presence awakens ancient forces, long-forgotten rivalries, and a prophecy that warns of tragedy if the bond between land and sea is broken. Theo must choose: protect his empire and everything he’s built or risk it all for a love that defies reason and nature alike. But love, like the tide, cannot be controlled.

Aryan is a destiny born to fight against fate. In a world shaped by bloody battles, political intrigues, and hidden betrayals, he must walk a path intertwined with pain, unfulfilled love, and loss. From the fires of childhood to the battlefields, from a magical school to the heart of darkness, a journey begins—one that does not just shape the destiny of one boy but rewrites the fate of the world. For destiny cannot be accepted… when you are destiny itself.

An Angle who became the hope for all of the Omniverse . Tale of Rasen Raglia The Last Arch Angel and the Liviatha Lavas The Impure demon. Now their story truly unfolds .....

Welcome to The Last Step – A Tale of Fate, Power, and the Unforgiven. In a world where magic defines one's worth, three souls walk a path toward an uncertain destiny—each bearing a power that can shape the fate of nations. Lucas, the God’s Chosen Sorcerer, wields divine magic that bends reality itself, blessed by forces beyond mortal comprehension. A shining beacon of hope—or a harbinger of destruction—his path is riddled with expectations he never asked for. Celia, the Queen of Curses, commands a power feared by even the strongest mages. She carries the weight of a past filled with whispers and condemnation, but where others see a curse, she sees the strength to carve her own future. Kaiser, the Unwanted Void, stands apart. Neither blessed nor cursed, he is the anomaly that should not exist. In a world that measures worth by magic, he is a shadow in the light—yet, the abyss within him holds something far greater than mere sorcery. Together, they are bound by fate yet divided by their own battles. As war brews and forgotten gods stir, the lines between hero and villain blur. In the end, their choices will decide more than just their own lives—they will determine the very foundation of their world. This is their journey. This is their Last Step.

Amid the gilded society of Victorian England, the Young Lord too charming to forget and the Duke too mysterious to decipher find their lives entangled by an uninvited twist of fate. Bound by circumstance, what had begun as conflict blossomed into a feeling Alex dared not name. And yet, it grows. When Young Lord Carlston meets the reclusive Duke of Blackthorn, it’s hardly love at first sight — rather pride, suspicion, and a clash of two guarded souls. But what if the person Alex misjudged most becomes the one who understands him like no one else ever did? Two men. One season. And the truth that could ruin — or save — them both.

Long gone was the age of the gods… Long gone are those tales that lived through time and defied fate itself… Olympus has fallen, and the pantheon crumbled, like a temple with no pillars or a home that no longer served its purpose. The last ballad has been sung, and glory withered like a dying flower on the incoming winter. Fire, ash, and blood reigned supreme when the secret was revealed. The vulture and the owl—two opposites, the different sides of the same coin, rivals who defied the common status quo of “once an enemy, will always be enemies.” But what if love all of a sudden came at them? Piercing through their souls that even the goddess of love’s prowess could never fathom such a circumstance. The war and wisdom—the deities who were deemed too similar yet too different at the same time. What if those stories about them were nothing more than figments of a mortal’s imagination? What if the character was no more—the loathing gone, and what remained was an unexpected understanding towards each other? Ares and Athena—what if something sparked between them and defied the order of Olympus?

A forgotten kingdom. A sacred vow. A journey home across centuries. Centuries ago, the fate of a young Vietnamese noblewoman became entwined with the rise and fall of the Champa kingdom. Her name was Thanh Mai—a girl of silken grace and iron spirit, whose heart beat with forbidden love and a fierce loyalty to truth. Her story was nearly lost… until one man dared to follow its echo. In modern-day California, Kien Quoc—a quiet Vietnamese-American engineer—receives his father’s dying wish: return to Vietnam and uncover the roots of their family’s past. His journey leads him into the heart of central Vietnam, where sacred towers sleep beneath moss and myth, and where the memory of Champa lingers in song, stone, and silence. Guided by dreams and joined by Sari, a Balinese journalist equally devoted to Southeast Asia’s lost civilizations, Kien stumbles upon a revelation that challenges history, identity, and the very idea of nationhood. Along the way, they unearth a secret chamber beneath the holy valley of My Son—and within it, a truth that changes everything. Told in sweeping, poetic prose, Last Song of the Nation weaves together two timelines: the fall of Champa through the eyes of a young woman trapped between war and destiny, and a contemporary quest for heritage, love, and healing. At its core lies a question that haunts generations: What do we owe the past, and what can it still teach us today? This is a novel of memory and migration, of culture and compassion, of spirits that never die and songs that still carry across the wind.

THE LAST MARINE– Series Synopsis The world ends not with a bang, but with a prayer and a shattered test tube. Marine Quinn Calloway, a man accustomed to the structured chaos of war, finds himself on leave in the deceptively peaceful mid-sized city of New Havenburg when the unthinkable happens. Dr. Lucian Kael, a brilliant and devoutly religious scientist at the prestigious Blackwood Research Institute, driven by a fervent desire to unlock humanity's "divine potential," makes a catastrophic miscalculation. His experimental "Kael Strain" virus, designed for benign purposes, is accidentally unleashed, and its effects are swift, brutal, and biblical in their apocalyptic scope.

In a world where speech is outlawed, one voice could start a revolution. Or end everything. Kael was raised in silence—just another forgotten soul in the crumbling outskirts of the Vowenrealm. But when blood is spilled and secrets rise, Kael discovers he holds a forbidden power: the ability to command with a single word. A Whisperer. Now hunted by a ruthless theocracy and haunted by the cost of using his gift, Kael must decide what he's willing to lose in order to set the world free—if he doesn’t lose himself first. The Last Voice is a dark, character-driven fantasy about power, memory, and moral fracture. Fans of grim settings, quiet rebellions, and morally grey protagonists will find much to love—and fear—in this tale. New Chapters on Mondays @ 12:00PM PST and Thursdays @ 12:00 PST

In a world perceived by ordinary people as normal and peaceful, two hidden factions wage a silent war for absolute control: the Eastern Powers and the Western Powers. While most of the population lives in ignorance, a few individuals know the truth — a dangerous truth, buried under centuries of manipulation and conspiracy. Andreas Shinja is one of the few who are aware. Born into a wealthy and influential family, he possesses physical and mental abilities beyond human limits. Though raised under the influence of the Western Powers, Andreas disagrees with their methods of control and manipulation. His vision is idealistic: he seeks to change the world for the better, to free ordinary people from the grip of those who rule in the shadows. On the other side stands Subject Y.K., an experimental weapon created by the Western Powers — a one-man army, designed for mass destruction. Trained to kill, Y.K. has broken away from his intended purpose, haunted by a defining question: “What is the purpose of my life?” Unlike Andreas, Y.K. does not fight for others, but for himself. He sees the flaws in the system not out of empathy, but because it fails to give his existence meaning. As the two follow their separate paths, each driven by their own beliefs, they are drawn into a series of conflicts that reveal an even darker reality — a world filled with paranormal forces, fantastical entities, and ancient secrets.

In a fractured world where memory fuels power and the human psyche is both weapon and refuge, a dying Archive calls out to the last Seeker. Haunted by visions and hunted by forces that feed on memory, Alex Renn uncovers a hidden sanctuary — the Archive of Embers, a place where forgotten stories are planted like seeds and where pain, once written, can reshape the world. Alongside the enigmatic Nira, a memory-weaver with secrets of her own, Alex must walk the Spiral of Becoming — a path of rituals, confrontations, and awakenings — as time collapses and reality frays at the edges. But as the Pulse weakens, and truth blurs into nightmare, one question remains: Can memory save the world — or destroy what’s left of it? A slow-burn epic of identity, trauma, healing, and the quiet apocalypse.

On what was supposed to be a typical day of class for Kai, magic suddenly disappears as if it never existed in the first place. However, Kai and his sister, Kaya, are still capable of casting. What forces could rob the world of its magic, while Kai and his sister still have access to theirs? And are there other sorcerers still capable of casting?

Nate had never been special. No grand destiny, no hidden potential—just another soul trying to survive in a world that had nothing to offer. But fate had other plans. When the world was shattered by the arrival of the Nightmare Realms, humanity was forced into a desperate fight for survival. Monsters lurked in the darkness, and the only ones who could resist them were the Chosen—those marked by the Nightmare itself and granted strange, unpredictable powers. Nate never wanted to be one of them. Thrown into an unfamiliar world of horrors, betrayals, and relentless battles, he must fight to endure. But the power he was given is not a blessing—it is a curse, one that whispers in his mind and threatens to consume him from within. To survive, he must uncover the truth behind the Nightmare Realms, the reason for their existence… and the dark secret buried within himself. Because in this world, death is not the worst fate. And the Last Nightmare is only beginning.

Elara's gloves never come off. Her chambers are lined with lead. Even her tears are collected in silver vials before they can poison the earth. The last living heir to the Veyne bloodline, she was born with "The Withering"—a divine curse that turns her skin to poison. After accidentally killing her mother at birth and her nursemaid at age six, she has lived in solitary confinement, her existence known only to the royal alchemists who study her condition. Her only comfort? The dying things she touches don't suffer. Flowers bloom brighter in her grip before turning to ash. Sick animals find peace under her fingers. Until Kieran, a disgraced scholar sentenced to death for heresy, grabs her bare wrist during an escape attempt... And doesn't die.

Earth has been visited by the Embryeniel records, so the world and its habitants are pushed towards the path of evolution. Strange monsters only made up by imagination appeared everywhere and the world changed into a situation of either survival or death. Jon is a normal student in Palflic university, all he thought about was finishing his school safely and is faced with possibility of been abandoned by his parents, however little did he know about himself and what the world had in-store for him. Other worlds and universes, clans and sects, people and monsters stand in his way, will he prevail or succumb to the desires of others. . . . . .

He is Yun Xia, the last heir of the Han Dynasty, which was destroyed by the brutality of the Ming Dynasty's forces. Yun Xia narrowly escaped death when Nan Ziang, a trusted aide of Emperor Yun Hao, took her away from the palace just as the Ming army massacred the entire royal family. Nan Ziang brought the three-year-old Yun Xia to Mount Huangshan, where she was entrusted to the care of his master, Cia Sun — a legendary warrior known as the Golden Lion. Under Cia Sun’s guidance, Yun Xia became a highly skilled martial artist by the age of twenty. Her mastery in both unarmed combat and weaponry was exceptional, and it filled Cia Sun, the Golden Lion, with pride. But a heavy burden awaits Yun Xia. As instructed by Emperor Yun Hao, Nan Ziang handed Yun Xia a will, stating that she must one day restore the fallen Han Dynasty. Will Yun Xia be able to fulfill her father’s dying wish — especially when the one she loves is the daughter of the ruler of the Ming Dynasty?

They say the sky burns brighter above Emberholt. Some believe it’s the reflection of a kingdom's burning pride. Others say it's a warning — a flame waiting to consume everything. But the truth is sharper than legend: It’s watching. In the world of Arkanis, power is not gifted. It is taken. And the ones who take it? They train at The Grey Flame Academy — a crucible for the ambitious, the dangerous, and the cursed. Here, students from across the five kingdoms gather to master the blade and the Sigil, two paths that determine their strength, their future, and their survival. Commoners, nobles, and royals alike are thrown into the same fire. Ten pairs of instructors — one swordmaster, one Sigil guide — forge the next generation of warriors. But few rise. Fewer endure. And among them, ten have climbed to the top, untouchable and feared. They are known only as Void. Void doesn’t speak for itself. It doesn’t need to. Its name echoes through the halls like a curse. These are not students. They are future kings and queens of war. Legends in training. Silent blades. If you face one, you don’t graduate. You disappear. Sky stands above even them. The top of the Void. The academy's number one. A student with no title, no noble house, and no reason to trust anyone. He didn’t chase power. Power chased him. And now, every step he takes ripples across the kingdom. Beneath the academy lies the Sigil Celestial Crystal, a relic older than the kingdom itself. It does not grant power. It exposes it. Those who attempt to bond with it either ascend beyond recognition... or vanish without a trace. The crystal doesn’t choose champions. It dares them. As Emberholt's royal bloodlines fracture, war brews beneath ceremony and silence. The throne is empty, and five ancient families sharpen their knives under the veil of honor. The academy becomes more than a school — it becomes a battlefield. Every duel is political. Every rise in rank a threat. And Sky? He’s the biggest threat of all. Inside the academy, ranks define reality. Magic is measured across fifteen escalating Sigil tiers. Swordsmanship spans twenty brutal levels. Every student fights to rise. Some for honor. Some for vengeance. Some for nothing but survival. But the truth is, power comes at a cost. Friends become rivals. Rivals become corpses. And alliances are broken faster than bones. Behind every lesson is manipulation. Behind every challenge is a test of loyalty. And those who reach the top must face more than enemies. They must face what the academy has become: a machine for war, designed to create weapons in human skin. As Sky rises, shadows close in. Whispers of rebellion. Secrets buried beneath banners. And a throne that demands blood. He doesn’t want it. But destiny doesn’t ask. The Grey Flame doesn’t burn for justice. It burns for conquest. And the Void stands ready. Welcome to Arkanis. Welcome to the fire.

Winter, gadis muda dari desa kecil yang dikenal karena ketegarannya, harus mengubur impian masa mudanya saat sang ayah terlilit utang besar kepada seorang bangsawan kaya raya dan dingin bernama Sebastian Ashbourne. Demi menebus utang itu, Winter 'dijual' ke keluarga bangsawan tersebut — bukan sebagai pelayan, bukan pula sebagai tamu kehormatan, tetapi sebagai "jaminan hidup", sebuah posisi yang menggantung antara budak dan tamu, tanpa hak, namun harus tunduk. Dengan keyakinan bahwa ini adalah awal dari kehidupan yang lebih baik — atau setidaknya bebas dari kemiskinan — Winter melangkah masuk ke rumah megah itu. Namun yang ia temui hanyalah dinginnya tembok batu, tatapan sinis para pelayan, dan perlakuan kasar dari sang bangsawan. Hari-harinya dipenuhi hinaan, makian, dan tugas-tugas yang seolah sengaja dibuat untuk menjatuhkan harga dirinya.

She wanted to touch the sky... even if that sky consumed her too. Nozomi was only eight when she found her sister Haruka's lifeless body-the brightest idol Japan had ever seen, and one of the greatest voices the world had known. Since that day, Haruka's final note has echoed in Nozomi's heart like a song that refuses to fade. Now sixteen, Nozomi chooses to walk the same path, unaware of the illusions and chains hidden behind the spotlight. When producers hear her voice-so divine, so achingly perfect they believe it could move heaven itself-they pair her with Japan's best young pianist, a blind, seventeen-year-old prodigy. Together, they form HaneulVibe-a new group meant to carry the legacy of Haruka's fallen idol empire, whose collapse left a scar on the entire industry. But as Nozomi rises, applause roaring louder each night, she begins to uncover the chilling truth behind her sister's tragic end. And learns that to shine... sometimes costs your soul.
