Becoming More Than Us

Big_Boss_0581
Nora Hale thought silence was safer. Safer than risking everything. Safer than saying the wrong thing. Safer than choosing… and being chosen. Until the moment she needed to speak the most — and didn’t. Eli Carter was ready to stay. Ready to choose her. But when she couldn’t say the words, he chose to leave instead. Now distance separates them, and life refuses to stand still. While Eli builds a new life away from home, Nora is left with the weight of everything she didn’t say — and the realization that silence doesn’t protect you… it holds you back. So she does something unexpected. She steps forward. She finds her voice. And for the first time, she chooses herself. But when two people grow apart… what happens when they finally meet again?

THE MORTHEAL

Samael Ashbourne has spent his life in isolation, deep in the mountains alongside his grandfather—a former warrior who turned his back on the world after a tragedy no one dares to speak of. Even far from civilization, Samael's raw talent could not be hidden. Born with an immense reserve of spiritual energy and an extraordinary gift for magic, he was, by any measure, a prodigy. But talent means nothing when the world decides to break you. Everything changed the day a powerful enemy emerged from the shadows. Samael survived—barely—thanks to his grandfather's intervention. But the cost was absolute. His spiritual energy core was destroyed, severed forever from the source of all magic. In a world where power defines a person's worth, losing spiritual energy is not just a defeat. It is an annihilation. Overnight, Samael went from being a boy destined for greatness to a ghost—useless, powerless, forgotten. But his story did not end there. Forced to rebuild himself from nothing, Samael turned to the only thing still within his reach: his own body. Through relentless training, through pain and silence, he carved a new kind of strength—one born not of magic, but of will. Yet strength alone is never enough. Hunted by those who wish to erase every trace of his existence—and every hope of his happiness—Samael embarks on a dangerous journey across the world alongside his grandfather. Together, they walk through lands of both breathtaking beauty and unspeakable cruelty, facing beasts, memories, and the ghosts of the past. Because when the ashes fall, not everyone dies. Some are reborn.
