Dread Existence

Her_Only_Boy_Child
Decades ago, the world was plunged into darkness no one expected. Alien beings emerged under the disguise of allies, but that illusion didn’t last long when, a year later, these beings began to show their true colors—not as the alliance they pretended to be, but deemed themselves as the new gods of humankind and everything that belonged to Earth. Everything that humans knew about their once beautiful planet changed overnight, making it fall under a new dreadful planet where minerals and everything else were harvested by these false, self-proclaimed gods called the Dreadnought. They were an alien race that conquered planets with the aim to reshape the universe. Hope was lost in humanity, but that all changed when a group of people rebelled against the Dreadnought and its order, fighting against them and being able to create weapons that are really harmful to them. A peace treaty was signed, but humans had already learned their lesson from being naive and trusting these aliens. A new government order was established, one that would be known as the Secret Government, a power that aimed to assist humans. A new training camp was created to help train anyone who wants to fight against these alien oppressors. Percival Asgard lived a peaceful life with his family, attended school at one of the safest wards that was never invaded by the Dreadnought, who actually appeared to have humanoid forms but were completely different. One unexpected day, his ward was attacked by the Dreadnought as the first strike of the new war. In that process, he not only lost his home but his family too. In the process of trying to save his best friend, he got caught in the crossfire and died right there. In the midst of darkness, a flaming head appeared before Percival, asking him one of the toughest questions that would require him to forget and leave his old life behind. [Do you wish to die, or do you wish to fight against them and get your revenge?] [You only have 00:01:00 to choose a decision.] [Choose wisely.] He took that deal. After that, his life completely changed as he now chose to join the camp so he could train and get the necessary skills he'd need to fight against the Dreadnought and get his revenge. Not only that, Percival found out that he had changed too and became something totally different, and each time he gets his revenge, he loses a part of his humanity. He's something that only exists in the Dreadnought history books. With this new burden, he decides to try so hard to keep this secret while trying to make his name in the camp, because out of everyone, he's the only one considered weaker than all.

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me *character portraits commissioned
