In the year 2371, the glittering skyline of a futuristic metropolis is a testament to technological advancements and societal divides. At the heart of this neon-lit city, Donovan Montgomery, heir to the influential Montgomery family, faces the daunting pressures of perfection and family legacy. Amidst grandiose balls and breathtaking holographic displays, Donovan grapples with the shadows of self-doubt and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Meanwhile, in the underbelly of the same city, Kieran Culmina Tuave, a street-smart young man with a penchant for petty crimes and a sharp tongue, struggles to survive. A series of missteps lands him in a precarious situation, forcing him to confront the stark realities of his existence and the possibilities of a future he never imagined.
Their worlds collide when an unexpected heist unfolds, involving the theft of valuable noble gases essential for the city's infrastructure. As Kieran unwittingly becomes entangled in a dangerous plot, Donovan's path crosses with his in an unlikely alliance that could change their lives forever.
In a city where the line between opulence and despair is razor-thin, Donovan and Kieran must navigate through political intrigue, familial expectations, and their own personal demons. Will they rise above the challenges or be consumed by the very forces that define their lives?

For centuries, humanity has battled against the Gates-dimensional rifts that unleash dungeons filled with monsters. Only the Awakened, gifted with supernatural abilities, can enter these dungeons and prevent disaster. Leon Valcrest was supposed to be one of them. Born to a prestigious family of high-ranking Hunters, his destiny seemed set in stone-until he underwent the Awakening and received nothing. Rankless. Powerless. Forgotten. But fate had other plans. One night, Leon stumbles upon a Gate that shouldn't exist, pulsing with a sinister crimson glow. Before he can react, it pulls him in, sending him into a place unlike any known dungeon-an ancient, forgotten realm sealed away from the world. And within it, a power long lost to time awakens inside him. Now marked as the Overlord of the Forgotten Gates, Leon must uncover the truth behind these mysterious rifts, face beings beyond human comprehension, and rise above the Hunters who once discarded him. Because the Forgotten Gates are opening again- And he may be the only one who can stop them.
The Boy Who Wasn't Real
After three epidemics, fifteen wars and plenty of government disagreements, the world stopped numbering their years. The last recorded one was 2104. During that year, all hell broke loose. The continents started merging together, forming one giant landmass like they did when the dinosaurs were roaming around. All the countries disappeared and were replaced by sectors: Arctic, Ocean, Jungle, Desert, City, Cavern, Sky and Forest. In the very centre of the landmass, there is a small portion of land that is not claimed by any sector. That piece of land is home to one thing and one thing only. The Hollow. The Hollow is a small cottage, white-washed and red-roofed. It used to house criminals and now is occupied except for beasts that are caged in the Grotto, which is the name people have given to the basement of The Hollow. Now, since The Hollow is useless unless you need somewhere to store mythical legends, children are sent there on the seventeenth of each month to face tests to check if they are fit for living in this world. No child has ever lasted more than a few days. Until now. Eric Alastor is a thief who has no friends or family by the age of seventeen. Elisaveta Nebula is a girl who carries around knives to protect herself from the criminals crawling around her sector. Together, they will face The Hollow. Daring to walk alongside death every day, they develop a strong connection. Maybe it's just from the circumstances. Or could it have something to do with Eric's troubled past... Will they face their challenges with a smile on their face? Live to tell their story?Concluida
