In a world where five cities are shaped by fire, water, shadow, ash, and thought, five young outcasts awaken impossible powers and an even more impossible destiny. Drawn together by a force they cannot name, they form The Incredulous, a roaming, enchanted circus that moves between worlds. But each city hides a villain born from its deepest fear, and each hero carries a wound that could destroy them from within. To survive, they must learn to trust one another, master the magic of their sentient caravan, and perform the greatest act of all becoming a family before their enemies tear them apart.

There are two worlds, dreams and nightmares. For Stephan Icegoe there is only one. Nightmares. Follow the stories of three of my most troubled nightmare plagued characters in this story of horror, pain, guilt, regret, and find out the truth behind them, and some of their darkest secrets.

In the land of Osareya, power is measured in Sekhem-the energy that courses through life. The Dawn Heralds, an elite force led by Pharaoh Khemra Amun Ra'Kesh himself, stand as the kingdom's shield against threats that lurk in the shadows.. Among them, a boy named Anubis walks the line between prodigy and peril, carrying a power so dangerous it terrifies even those who love him. By his side are Amara and Sefu, allies bound by loyalty, courage, and the secrets of their own pasts. Together, they will face enemies who defy the laws of Sekhem, confront horrors from the Tenebris Veil, and uncover truths that could unravel everything they know. As old powers awaken and new threats emerge, the fate of Osareya-and the fragile balance between life and death-rests in the hands of those who dare to stand against the darkness.

Yukihiro Edwin is a 14-year-old Middle School student who loves playing a popular card game, known as Yu-Gi-Oh. His passion for this game began from the day his parents, a pair of former professional duelists, bought him a legendary Cyber Dragon deck. It is a deck known for its firepower and One-Turn-Kill (OTK) potential. One day, Edwin's parents leave home to undergo an expedition due to an incident occurring in the outer space, but not before asking Edwin to take care of the home alongside his neighbor and childhood best friend, Alice Takayama. At first, Edwin and Alice live a pretty normal life both as a school student and as a duelist. However, things have changed when Edwin had a prophetic dream involving a mysterious force that is suspected to be related to the reason his parents were sent on an expedition in the first place. How will Edwin and Alice eventually uncover the mystery beneath Edwin's dream and save the world? Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
