The Shine (professional wrestling slang/jargon) - This is the initial struggle. The Shine is where the performers establish that, in a fair fight, the good guy should win.
Making it in the world of professional wrestling is hard. Real hard. The promoters are crooks, the pay is lousy, the fans hate everything, and everyone is out to stab you in the back.
You'd think that being able to do magic, real actual honest to God bend the laws of physics magic, would help with that. You'd be wrong.
This is the story of Amazing Grace as she tries to make it big in the wrestling biz, and maybe save the world along the way as well.
After all, who did Harry Potter ever beat?

Who is Stone Rienhart? *EXCERPT FROM BOOK* James grinned, "Ah, but you see we're not here for money, we're just here to give you some advice. We came to make sure you stay healthy!" "I'm sorry but I don't understand." Lincoln looked more than a little hesitant to hear this so called 'advice'. "I just wanted to let you know that there are some people in Eden that are very, very dissatisfied with your work. I would recommend leaving the city alone, or you might end up getting hurt, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?! I mean, look what happened to your slaves over there!" James laughed as he watched Lincoln realize what he was saying. Then, without warning he grabbed a metal pen and slammed it into the desk, leaving it embedded halfway in. "So if I were you I would let the people who are in here go free and leave Eden alone. Do we understand each other?" Lincoln gulped and squeaked out a, "Yes." James once again brightened up and patted the side of his face, "Yes what?" "Yes...sir." "Good boy."Complete

Witching Hour
Before moving to Maile, life was simple. Obey the school rules and you don't get expelled. Don't get expelled and your parents don't send you to live with your Uncle. Don't live with your Uncle and you don't discover your entire maternal family, including your mother, are sorcerers... all except you. After moving to Maile, things got a lot more complicated.

There's the lucky few who are a part of that community, that live joyously in the magical realm, surrounded by magic every waking moment. That sounds fantastic, doesn't it? A living fairytale you could say. For most, yes. Then there's Luna. Luna, despite being involved in the magical realm, never belonged. She didn't have powers so was treated as an outcast, rejected by everyone including her own family. They shunned her and soon banished her from not just their home but the whole magical realm. Now she lives in the human world, going about her everyday life like an average person. She's left her previous life behind and that's just how she likes it. Unfortunately for her, you can't escape your past forever. No matter how much she protests, magic will always be a part of her life, hiding in the shadows, undetected but still there. All she wants to do is complete her final year of school without so many 'unusual' complications. As you're most likely aware, life never goes according to plan. Magic has always been a problem in her life and now it's back to haunt her. All that needs to be said is that she's not pleased. Can't the world just accept that she's ordinary? No, it can't. ~*~*~ *contains mature language*Complete

The Reaper of Wrestling
CURRENTLY EDITING: What if pro wrestling wasn't just performance? What if wins weren't handed out by scripts, but earned through grit, spectacle, and raw sacrifice? Who would the audience worship then-the flashiest, or the fiercest? Now dial that up. Imagine a world where human evolution took a left turn. Where individuals possess singularities: subtle, uncanny traits that push physical or cognitive boundaries. Not magic. Not sci-fi. Just reality-tilted. And the only place these powers can be legally unleashed? Entertainment. Enter the WWO - the World-Wide Wrestling Organization. A global stage where singularities meet drama. Athletes with evolutionary edge battle under spotlight and storyline, their powers concealed beneath crowd-pleasing narrative. It's not sport anymore. It's survival in disguise. This is the story of Javi Herrera, a rookie in a league of monsters, icons, and living myths. But Javi's not gifted. He's dormant. No power, no edge. Not yet. Just a burning need to matter-to make the world flinch when they hear his name. To become the next icon of horror in wrestling. What happens when someone ordinary dares to rewrite legacy? Javi's journey will fracture his faith, challenge his limits, and force him to confront a truth hidden behind the WWO's glamour: it was never a scripted show. It's a battleground. And if...or rather, when Javi's singularity finally awakens? It could redraw the blueprint of the entire federation.
