Audrey_Peaches
At the tender age of five, a girl who calls herself August witnesses a harrowing betrayal. Her beloved uncle, once a trusted family member, turns against her parents in a treacherous act that shatters her world. In the aftermath, he abandons her at a cold, unfeeling orphanage. August, a child of extraordinary intelligence, retreats into silence, her mind a labyrinth of thoughts and plans. Her brilliance, however, is shadowed by a mental disorder that drives her to harm those around her. This dark side of her nature isolates her further, making her a figure of fear and mystery among the other children. By the age of thirteen, August's actions lead to her arrest and confinement in a notorious prison known for its brutality. Yet, her sharp mind and unyielding spirit refuse to be caged. She orchestrates a daring escape, vanishing into the shadows. Every year, on the 11th day of August, whispers of her return spread like wildfire. August embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance, targeting those who wronged her and her family. Her name becomes synonymous with fear, a ghostly avenger who strikes with precision and disappears without a trace. In a world that underestimated her, August rises as a formidable force, her story a chilling reminder of the lengths one can go to seek justice and retribution.

Boundless: Tower of Evolution

The world didn’t end in fire or chaos, it changed quietly. Zane Mensah, an observant and withdrawn university student, is among the few who notice the subtle signs that something is wrong. The sky stands unnaturally still, animals begin to behave in disturbing ways, and an invisible pressure seems to settle over the world. While others dismiss it, Zane’s instincts tell him a pattern is forming, one he doesn’t yet understand. Then everything breaks. As animals across the world begin to mutate and humanity collapses into chaos, cities fall and survival becomes the only rule. Nations shrink into isolated safe zones, resources grow scarce, and fear replaces order. With no knowledge of cultivation or power, humanity struggles against a rapidly evolving threat. Just when hope begins to fade, mysterious alien beings known as the Astreans appear. They construct towering structures, gateways to a brutal trial system known as the Tower of Evolution. Promising strength and survival, they offer humanity a chance to fight back… but at a cost. Only those under the age of twenty can enter. Inside the tower, participants are tested, broken, and forced to evolve. Power comes through absorbing essence left behind by the dead, elemental forces and bloodline remnants that can either elevate or erase one’s existence. Survival is no longer just about strength, but adaptation, instinct, and the will to surpass others. Zane enters the tower not as a hero, but as a survivor. Driven first by the need to live, and later by the desire to control his own fate, he begins a journey through a world where only the strongest rise, and where even allies can become enemies. Because in the end, only one truth remains: To evolve… or be left behind.

Pureblood's riftbound bride

For generations, the Southern Sun-Realm has lived in the golden warmth of the Starwind lineage. But as the sun begins to dim and the ancient "Void" stir in the corners of the world, a terrifying prophecy emerges: Only a Spirit born of Sun and tempered by Frost can hold back the Great Dark. Elissa Starwind, the youngest Princess of the South, is seen by her court as a failure. Unlike her siblings, whose light is a roaring furnace, Elissa’s "White Flame" is a mere flicker—pale, cold, and seemingly useless. When the prophecy demands a union between the Sun and the North, her father sees an opportunity to discard his "weakest" child. Elissa is sold as a Tithe to the Witch-Kingdom of Aethelgard, wed by blood-contract to the most feared predator in the frost-lands: Alistair D’Valtheron. Alistair is a Pure-blooded Vampire Prince, a being of refined hunger with crystalline, incandescent blue eyes that prove his mastery over his own monstrous nature. As time passes Alistair discovers that Elissa’s "weakness" is actually a different kind of power: a purity that doesn't just burn shadows, but heals the very fabric of reality. As the Moon moves to smother the Sun, the "Weakest Princess" must become the North’s greatest weapon. To save her brother, her husband, and her kingdom, Elissa Starwind must decide if she will remain a flickering candle or become the bonfire that consumes the darkness—even if it means losing her humanity in the process.
