"We will be here for you...financially" In the fictional gray Ridge City in the equally depressing state of Silverton, a group journalists receive permission to report on a small bank branch during the post 9/11 recession. Bumbling manager Phillip Staunton struggles to keep morale afloat as his branch slowly sinks into the murky depths of late stage capitalism. Meanwhile, the bank's parent company: The Silverton Bank Association is hemorrhaging money and thousands are losing their jobs. Dragged into the inner workings of the financial system, Phillip must help his boss, Betty Lowery, introduce a make or break operation for the Silverton Bank Association. A new rebrand to pull the corporation out of the past and into the 21st century. Old money executives attempt to stop the rebrand to keep alive what has worked for decades.

In a system built on exploitation, abuse comes in many forms, and not all of them are financial.

In the city of Valoria, where the splendor of opulent palaces dances to the tune of luxury while alleys drown in oblivion, fate weaves its first threads. There, Aaron, a young man forged by life's harshness, discovers what resembles a miracle: a rare "flower," Rosen, a noble girl lost from her family and luminous world. Aaron's humble home and his kind aunt Venice open their doors to her, and Rosen, hidden from her parents' eyes, becomes one of Aaron's family. Rosen, the delicate flower of wealth, blossoms in the harsh confines of poverty, in a world that was never hers. Deep feelings are born within her for Aaron, who saw in her only the innocence he nurtured. Love and sacrifice drive him to a heartbreaking decision, and he departs, leaving behind a heart pulsating with anticipation and a soul clinging to threads of hope. But fate, with its resounding blows, returns Rosen to the shores of her former world, erasing every trace of the past. She returns to her family, who had long searched for her, but she becomes a body without memory, lost between a wealthy present and forgotten memories. Meanwhile, Aaron returns to find a painful void; his aunt has passed away, and his "flower" has vanished without a trace. He embarks on an arduous search journey that extends for years, until fate wills them to meet again in a fleeting encounter that opens the doors to a major shock. Does Aaron hold the key to restoring what was lost? And can his forgotten "flower" awaken from her slumber to rewrite their love story between banks that were never truly part of her? "Flower Between The Banks" is a captivating journey through fate, love, and loss, telling the tale of two hearts searching for a way back in a world that forgets

Now grown, Aira returns to her late parents' hometown, haunted by broken memories and a bloodstained shirt no one can explain. When a golden-eyed wolf appears at her doorstep, injured and strangely familiar, the pieces of her past begin to resurface. What she doesn't know is that the cub she once saved never forgot her. And now, he's returned as a powerful werewolf heir—marked by fate, bound by a vow to protect her at all costs. But danger stirs in the shadows. Rogue wolves are hunting. Secrets claw their way out. And as the bond between them deepens, so does a truth Aira never expected— She was never meant to be just human. She was always meant to be his.

"May the blinded see" The Window to the Soul. Gods system of which all who are born are attached to. Bestowed the destiny they are divined to fulfill. Each person is born with a "Class" that determines their future. Beginning at level 0 at birth until the age of 10 where they become level 1 and are allowed to begin earning experience by fulfilling their class quests and using their skills. The vast majority of people on the Grand Continent are born into simple classes. Tailor, Trader, Cook, Scholar, Farmer. Among others. All of which whose leveling will likely stagnate once they reach level 5. Unable to progress because their Class quests needed to level up become increasingly more unfeasible to fulfill. And by then, most will be in their old age. With the exception of those who rule over the peasant classes. Those who were born with combat classes who level considerably faster with the abundance of monsters that plague the Grand. None more powerful than the Holy Order of Paladins that aids in governing the continent. Liore is a peasant of a distant village, born to Farmer and a Chef. Born with the Farmer class like her mother. She was destined to be in the shadow of her older brother who was born with the "Holy Swordsman" Class. After her brother is sent off to train with the Holy Order, leaving her with his old training sword as a keepsake, Liore attempts to follow her brothers training with futility. Leading her into grave danger that almost takes her life until she stumbles upon an ancient artifact that gifts her abilities beyond her god given class. Emboldening her pursuit for her own destiny and sending her spiraling towards great power. With all of the strife that comes along with it...

“ You must level down to the rock bottom of hell”, a demonic voice said when he was summoned to the other side. Seth Johnson was 16 when he was sacrificed in a cleansing ritual organized by his parent’s cult, to find himself reincarnated and transmigrated to a new world that was already on the brink of extinction.

Omnius — The First Truth Beyond All Before the whisper of gods, before the spark of time, before the very concept of creation, there was Omnius. The First Truth. He is the boundless wellspring of True Boundless Love and absolute power, His pervasive will a low, resonant thrum beneath the very fabric of existence. More felt than seen, He manifests as a nexus of impossible darkness to lesser perceptions, His essence transcending all concepts of shape and beyond everything else, the words "I AM THE FIRST TRUTH" woven into His very being as pure, radiant light. From this primordial force, the Infinite Omniverses—realities beyond imagining—were effortlessly spun into existence. Within these vast realms, powerful beings rise and fall, yet none can truly fathom, much less surpass, the eternal essence of Omnius. future and past storytelling/Episodic

Power does not return with fanfare. It returns quietly - wearing another name. Eliza Caerwyn is the ghost of a noble house no one speaks of. A girl with no status, no fortune, and no place in the empire's war for succession. But when a feared duke bends the knee to her in the middle of a storm, the court begins to whisper. Whispers, after all, are how empires fall. And this time, someone is listening. A story of loyalty bought in blood, revenge buried in memory, and a crown that waits not for the strongest - but the one who remembers how it was stolen.

A CIA operative must transverse new reality as he has been plunged into a new unknown world in the midst of a rebellion.

By the stream’s edge, "Ranin" often escaped the pressure of exams and schoolwork—crying silently, blaming herself beneath the shade of the trees... But one day, she wasn’t alone. A young man in Victorian clothing appeared out of nowhere, asking: “Who are you? And how did you enter the forbidden forest?” She thought he was just eccentric—until he tried to touch her... and his hand passed right through her. She thought she was imagining things. She chose to ignore it. But she was wrong. Days later, another young man appeared—floating in midair, staring at her. “The monsters will cross from the forest into your empire. This magical panel will help you.” A floating window appeared before her—just like in a video game! What was happening? Had she lost her mind? The stream’s forest wasn’t just a forest... It was a boundary between her real world and the fictional world of a novel called “The Knight and the White Rose.” A typical romance novel she’d read a year ago—about a princess and a knight defying noble society. She never imagined that what she ignored between the lines... would be what slips into her reality. The danger didn’t come from the empire where the story took place— but from the neighboring empire, one barely mentioned at all. But this isn't a game. She must protect her family. Even if it costs her... her life
