Deon didn't mean to destroy anything. He just wanted to see what was on the other side. Now he's falling through a multiverse of fractured dimensions. Each one more beautiful and more broken than the last. Collapsing worlds held together by memory and light. Five scattered relics that shouldn't exist. A pyramid at the origin of everything, holding more than he bargained for. Every world Deon crosses is a physics problem wearing the face of a catastrophe. A gamma burst fired through charged atmospheric particles. A magnetic shield deployed inside a living river to walk through what should have been an impassable crossing. A plasma saber forged on the fly from superheated ionized gas when every other option runs out. Deon doesn't improvise. He calculates. But the hardest problem he faces has no electromagnetic solution. Five relics to return. A spectral echo of his own worst possibilities feeding on everything he does. He needs to find his way home. He needs to return what he took. He needs to understand what he caused. He keeps walking east.

In the northern forest, there are stories about what stirs beneath the roots. They are told softly, passed between generations, half warning and half prayer. When a colony vanishes in a single night, fire is the easiest answer. Fire explains the smoke. Fire explains the ruin. Fire does not explain why the bodies were wrong or the continuous humming through the trees. This has happened before.

Magic exists and there is no such thing as destiny. These are facts that Michael Fitzpatrick must come to accept. As a gifted academic, Fitz struggles to balance his time, relationships, and arrogance. This only becomes more difficult as he enrolls at Hartscorn University, a school for magically inclined practitioners. Attending school with his childhood friend seemed like a chance to try again; a new place, more rigorous studies, and fresh faces to befriend were all he wanted. Soon, myths and urban legends become self-fulfilling prophecies, and Fitz must learn to control the arcane abilities he manifests. The world atop ours, one of magic and possibilities, is still plagued with evil, torture, and death. As an order of magic users arises and begin hunting Fitz, he becomes entangled in the complex game of cat and mouse that forces him to evaluate his very core beliefs. When faced with the new Queen of Shadows, Fitz must decide if there is a difference between evil and desperation.

Utsuro Kurose believes pain is something meant to be shared. Why wouldn't he? Raised as a tool in a cult based on false salvation, Utsuro learned early that other people's misery could be swallowed down, shaped into power, and used again and again, no matter how it hollowed him out. Then he escaped. And for the first time, someone offered him warmth without asking him to consume anything in return. Now at U.A. High, Utsuro trains to become a hero. Not to take pain from others, but to create a world where no one ever needs to give it to him again. ~~~ [Based upon Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia; Partially inspired by Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen]

You just graduated high school, and you're a volunteer at a local (and failing) animation studio. But it's never too boring. There's always animations running behind, shelves to dust, and ink spills to mop. Above all, you have the unfortunate job of babysitting the menace himself, Bendy, to keep him from demolishing the studio and driving the staff insane. But when he gets the wonderful idea to bulldoze into your life and stay there, you uncover a sinister core to the animation studio. You also aren't as alone anymore.

Phoenix, a quiet candle maker and devoted follower of Hecate, never imagined his craft and rituals would tie him to the fate of multiple realms. But when a vision from Hecate declares him the chosen gatekeeper, his life takes a dramatic turn. Entrusted with maintaining balance between light and darkness, Phoenix is thrust into a battle against the Brotherhood of Adar, a cult bent on unleashing an ancient, apocalyptic entity. Accepted by the Watchers-ethereal beings of immense power who safeguard the realms-Phoenix is tasked with wielding a talisman that could lock or open the gates of reality. His journey takes him through shadowed realms, where his destiny intertwines with an unlikely group of allies: Astrid, an angel who becomes burdened by her own darkness; Lilith, a demoness who is bond by loyalty; and a band of elemental beings whose ties to the mortal world run deeper than they appear. As Phoenix navigates the delicate balance between opposing forces, he forges bonds that challenge his preconceptions of good and evil. These relationships grow from mere alliances into something more profound, as trust, loyalty, and sacrifice deepen the connections among them. But these bonds come at a cost-temptation, betrayal, and the looming shadow of his own humanity threatens to unravel everything. Phoenix's trials with the Watchers reveal unsettling truths: the ancient entity the Brotherhood serves seeks not just destruction, but to merge with him as a vessel, giving it direct access to the realms he is meant to protect. To survive, Phoenix must embrace both light and darkness, not as opposites, but as necessary forces within himself.

Talia was held in a prison since the day she could even remember. Her cell was large but never lit, darkness was her eternal shroud. She knew nothing of herself other than the fact that she could fire a bow. Not just any bow, this one was special.
