Adventure

In a world ruled by the Dragon Empire and Phoenix Clan, Hanara is born with a rare, dangerous dual aura—one that can heal… or destroy. After her mother’s murder and her clan’s annihilation, Hanara hides in the mountains with her baby brother and loyal phoenixes. When Dragon knights strike, she unleashes her devastating Fireborne Wrath, forcing a trusted ally to whisk her away. Years later, trained in secret, Hanara disguises herself and infiltrates the Dragon Empire to rescue her brother. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes that staying hidden might be the only way to protect him… especially with the Ice Prince growing suspicious. To keep her brother safe, Hanara must remain hidden. Among dragons. And beside a prince who may be her greatest threat—or her only ally.

In the year 3999, Crystallphaos shines like a beacon of magic and technology — yet beneath its surface, fears and prophecies simmer. A group of young adventurers — the silent Prometheus, the spirited Hitomi, the fearless Brek, the sharp-eyed archer Laima, and the enigmatic Noctua — are drawn into a mission that seems impossible: to cross the Shadow Ravine, a place from which few have ever returned. Their journey becomes a nightmare filled with battles, demons, and haunting visions. Prometheus faces revelations about a destiny he cannot escape, learning to draw strength not only from crystals, but from his companions themselves. The team’s bond is tested, as the line between life and death grows dangerously thin. But the end of the mission is not the end of the story — it’s only the beginning. Because behind the battles and sacrifices lies something greater: a soul that arrived in a world starved for light and hope, to herald the dawn of a new era. And yet, every light casts shadows — and those shadows are waiting for their moment to rise.

Akio was just a kid when the sky tore open and stole everything from him. Now, years later, the world praises the gates for their "miracles", but behind those glowing doors are bloodthirsty monsters, corrupted leaders, and secrets no one dares to speak aloud. When Akio discovers a gate and the truth behind his mother's death, he's forced into a fight far bigger than himself. Alongside a sarcastic clone wielder, a time bending fighter, and a mind hacker Akio sets out to unravel the gates' true purpose. But as past trauma claws its way into the present, and enemies blur the line between friend and monster, Akio will have to face one impossible question: What do you do when saving the world means destroying the peace it was built on?

The kingdom of Orovia bleeds. Every harvest season, the Frost royals send their imperials to strip villages bare. Gold. Crops. Heirlooms. Even lives. Everything claimed in the name of the crown. Alexandra Beaumont has lost enough. When the king opens the army to new recruits, she seizes her chance. Not to serve, but to steal. Beneath the armor of a royal soldier, she hides a secret mission: infiltrate the castle, reclaim what was stolen, and return it to the people who were robbed of everything. But she is not alone. A band of outcasts forms at her side, bound by vengeance and hope. By day, they wear the king’s colors. By night, they become shadows on the sea. Pirates who raid treasuries, kingdoms, and crowns themselves. Rebels carving justice out of theft. Yet betrayal stalks the rebellion as closely as the royals do. And when Alexandra’s heart tangles with Asher Knight—the general’s son, her greatest threat, and her greatest ally—loyalties blur, danger sharpens, and every stolen heartbeat could be her last. In a world where rebellion is treason and love is forbidden, Alexandra must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to take back a kingdom drowning in frost.
