"Welcome to the 54th annual Brighton Ceremony. 
Please find your sector and take a seat. 


In Brighton we have 12 different sectors: Drass, Gwell, Sano, Rouge, Fay, Trill, Niss, Kerr, Massa, Hilt, The Capital, and Argo. 
Each sector is divided into 2 parts, the upperlands and the lowerlands. If you are a government official, wealthy, a uniform, a high ranking army officer or any other position of power, you live in the upperlands. As for the rest of us....

I've lived in the lowerlands of Argo for 17 years. 17 years of living in a house too small for 5 people. 17 years of never once going outside.

The Brighton Ceremony happens once a year, each January. If you pass the tests, you have the opportunity to begin a series of training sessions in whichever category you qualify for. This has the potential to change your destiny. Good luck candidates, you will have 7 hours. 

Your time begins.....

Now. "

What if you had the choice to rise up and fight an obviously wrong system and risk your life, or abandon your family and friends for a cause you don't completely believe in. 

What would you do?

110 parts Ongoing
In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.

58 parts Ongoing

In 2068, the United States was moving toward a second frontier era, a second Manifest Destiny across the solar system. Then, one day, thanks to a strange alien signal, they discovered a hidden facility on Mars. The signal was transmitted through a device considered an ancient decoration but turned out to be a portal to another world. With a series of events, the United States sent one of its most elite teams to this world to investigate, Combat Fire Team-1, also known as Comanche, and discover why the people of Alagore opened a Bridge to their world. Comanche must explore the connections of this new world and the wonders discovered on Mars, confront the darkness known as the Unity in its global conquest, and above all, protect the US and the rest of Earth from this new threat. However, will they be able to discover the secrets of this war or fall victim to all that had come before? This is a original book by PWOFalcon.
