Against Terraldia's Fall

"Who are you when your world is erased, your memory is a ghost, and the only power you have is a reflection of a self you can no longer remember?" When Earth collide with a world of blood and ancient power, survival demands more than strength—it demands transformation. Believed to be summoned itself by the Goddess of Light, billions of humans awaken in Terraldia with no path home and a weapon forged from their very souls. These Outworlders carry cursions—manifestations of their deepest selves—into a realm where noble bloodlines wield magic, where demons crawl from forgotten depths, and where trust is the rarest currency of all. Where their previous world's history, cultures, technologies, love, families, and careers were all gone in an instant, some hide their true power behind false classifications. Others weave strategies in the shadows of royal courts. A few simply try to survive one more day in a world that views them as tools, threats, or worse. But Terraldia's carefully maintained order is fracturing. Ancient forces stir beneath temple stones. Political alliances built on centuries of blood are tested by those who refuse to be controlled. And in the spaces between light and shadow, the question becomes not whether the Outworlders will change this world—but whether they'll survive what it makes of them first. In a land where power is inherited and outsiders are expendable, those who were nothing on Earth must become everything—or be buried beneath the weight of a history not their own. - This story features morally complex characters navigating a world where survival often demands compromise, and where the line between hero and pragmatist blurs with every choice made.

Arcana Null : 22 - The Fool Who Imprisoned Fate

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. Then his grandfather dies during a circus performance. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

weapon of two souls

On the surface, Rana’s life appears ordinary. Yet beneath that fragile normalcy lies something fractured — an unease he cannot explain, emotions that feel misplaced, and fleeting images that flash through his mind like echoes from a reality he cannot remember. Then, without warning, everything begins to shift. The past returns. And Rana discovers that his existence was never as simple as he believed. Forgotten memories rise slowly to the surface — fragments of a distant world, a war long buried, a decision that altered more than just his fate… and a name that remains at the center of it all: Riya. As truth and memory begin to intertwine, Rana realizes that his past was not confined to his own life. The consequences of what once happened have spread like a silent chain reaction — affecting balance, survival, and the very structure of existence itself. And then an alien stands before him. Neither fully an enemy. Nor entirely a friend. Its message is simple — but devastating in its weight. Within Rana lies a dormant power. Within Riya rests a silent key. Between them exists a decision capable of shaping not merely two lives, but multiple realities. But truth is never linear. Intentions remain unclear. Memories feel unreliable. Every answer gives birth to a deeper question. Is Rana’s past truly what he remembers? Or is he being guided toward something he does not yet understand? And the most terrifying possibility of all — Can saving one life demand the destruction of another? As past and present collide, Rana is pushed toward a choice where the boundaries between right and wrong begin to dissolve. Because sometimes, the greatest threat is not war. But sacrifice.

CROSSING THE ELEMENTAL RIVER

“Everyone expected them to be legends—no one asked what it cost.” In a world ruled by elemental houses and unforgiving expectations, power is a cage. When the Heavenly Realm begins to collapse, four young leaders are cast down into the mortal world—a place where magic fades, titles mean nothing, and survival strips them to their core. Ember, a fire prodigy feared for her temper, hides a terrifying secret: the fear that she is only worthy of love when she is perfect. Melissa, an earth mage scarred by years of cruelty, masks her unspoken rage with silence. Between them, a fragile, slow-burn bond grows—one forged in the shadows of a realm that demands they be weapons, not women in love. Kai, the cold, controlled Commander, finds his iron resolve shattered by the one person he can’t command. Felix, whose laughter hides a broken heart, is the only one brave enough to look behind Kai's mask. As the world falls apart, they must decide if loyalty to the realm is worth sacrificing the person standing right next to them. And Leo, the hidden heir to the throne, must find his own strength before the world turns him into a tool of destruction. In a world of shifting loyalties and familiar enemies, they must face the ultimate question: Who are they, when the world stops watching? What to expect: ✨ GL / WLW (Ember x Melissa) ✨ BL / MLM (Kai x Felix) ✨ Found Family ✨ Hurt/Comfort & Slow Burn ✨ Elemental Magic System ✨ Hidden Heir Identity
