In the high-stakes world of heroism, Ayana Selwyn never anticipated being soul-bound to Katsuki Bakugo-the most volatile student at U.A. High. Her Quirk manipulates all forms of energy. His creates explosive destruction. Together, they're a force neither the hero world nor their classmates are prepared to understand. Soul prints aren't romantic destiny. They're a raw, electric connection that demands total vulnerability. For Ayana, it means matching Bakugo's fury with her own calculated intensity. For Bakugo, it means learning that true strength isn't just about power-it's about trusting someone enough to reveal your most dangerous edges. Their bond doesn't just challenge the hero academy's expectations. It threatens to rewrite everything known about Quirk compatibility, partnership, and the thin line between rivalry and love. As their connection deepens, Ayana and Bakugo must navigate not just the external threats of a world filled with villains, but the even more complex battlefield of their own evolving relationship. Each sparring match is a conversation. Each challenge, a test of their growing synchronicity. Some soulmate stories are whispered. Theirs will be remembered in explosions.

How many lives must be ruined to create a "hero"? Empress Calypso Berenice lived and died as an unwritten footnote, the forgotten wife of the male lead, executed by a villain to further a plot she didn't even know she was in. But when a near-death experience in a frozen lake shatters her reality, she awakens with the memories of Park Hanbyeol, a modern-day music producer who once read Calypso's life as a tragic novel and hated every word of it. The world has reset, and the main characters have returned with their memories intact, ready to resume their bloody path to glory. But there's a glitch in the narrative: the "extra" has come back, too. Calypso was never meant to be part of the story, let alone remember it. Now, armed with the knowledge of a future that discarded her, she must navigate a court of vengeful protagonists and power-hungry leads. If the story demands her ruin to make the heroes shine, Calypso is ready to tear out the pages and write a masterpiece of her own. *** Featured in: @WattpadDarkFantasy @WattpadTimeTravel @WattpadAlternateUniverse @anime @WattpadAsianFantasy @StoriesUndiscovered @WattpadHistoricalRomance @Fantasy @lowfantasy @HistoricalFiction *** WARNING: This story is mature due to the heavy topic such as mental health, trauma, etc, so please read with caution.
