They were just six students-
until the world decided they weren't.
When quiet, sharp-eyed Achilleo stumbles into a hidden realm of dying gods and forgotten dynasties, everything he thought he knew fractures. Amid the drifting ruins of eternity, he meets Kalypso-a fallen goddess, blindfolded and bound by ancient curses, fading like the light of a dying star.
What begins as survival becomes something far greater: a war to restore a shattered realm, rewrite the threads of fate, and stop a forgotten god whose silent rage has poisoned the world from the shadows.
As the divine and mortal worlds collide, Achilleo and Kalypso's bond deepens into something neither can name. Between moonlit secret gardens and echoes of forgotten songs, they become each other's tether-his mortal heart anchoring her fading divinity, her immortal fire awakening the power buried in his blood.
But they are not alone.
Maurits, whose poetry hides storms.
Ezekiel, quiet as snowfall, drawing a world he's never belonged to.
Ruzana, the sun's enemy, longing for warmth.
Lamai, glass-sharp, masking grief behind reason.
Otis, laughter-quick and fearless, even when he's afraid.
They're just kids on the edge of adulthood, yet they carry the weight of dying realms. Together, they awaken ancient defenses, call back lost soldiers from dust, and rebuild Kalypso's crumbling dynasty-while still clinging to fragments of their old lives: music, art, late-night coffee, the fragile magic of being human.
But victory has its price. The forgotten god is not gone-only waiting. And when the final choice comes, Achilleo must decide: remain mortal and return to the world they've rebuilt... or claim his blood's truth, become a demigod, and stand beside Kalypso-forever.
Romantic, lyrical, and haunting, this is a story about love born in ruins, and finding home-in each other.

Ivory Lies and Obsidian Truth
In a city ruled by gods and gilded lies, obedience is sacred. The trials are cruel. The king is worse. And angels are not meant to question-they're meant to kneel. But she doesn't. When a spring-born initiate dares to defy the sanctity of silence, she catches the attention of the one being no angel should ever cross: the god of death himself. He should have punished her. Instead... he watched. He intervened. He let her live. And in doing so, he may have doomed them both. Because the Ivory City is rotting from within. And she-bright, reckless, and unafraid-was never meant to survive it. Betrayal was always inevitable. But he never expected to want her enough to let it happen. ~She was forbidden to speak his name. He couldn't stop thinking hers.~

Synopsis: The Unveiling of Shadows The world of Seona Earth teeters on the brink of ruin. Humanity, once its masters, are now but a whisper, remnants of a fallen civilization consumed by abyssal creatures from a foreign dimension. A sinister fusion of dark magic and ancient technology has forged a cruel empire, ruled by ruthless vampire generals, formidable werewolves, and enigmatic alien beings from the shattered celestial planes. Amidst this desolation, a warrior of mysterious lineage emerges - Zoelda, a young man who carries the unknown legacy of a dormant power. By his side stands a small yet formidable cohort: * Zaenda - his younger brother, a youth whose veins course with the potent blood of dragons. * Zedwan - a former disciple of dark monks, now a relentless hunter of justice wielding supernatural might. * Lysa - an S-tier vampire, a product of the dark scientists' twisted experiments. * Liu Kei - an urban wushu kungfu master, striding the perilous path between light and shadow. * Blizzard - a former dark-hunter, now a cyborg terminator seeking the remnants of his lost soul. * Troy Hideyama - a dark ninja, from the same secretive martial arts school as Zedwan. * Arven Flameborn- the legendary offspring of a fire-wielding warrior and the fiery lineage of a phoenix. They do not merely seek survival. They aim to unravel the secrets of the encroaching darkness, to forge the true path forward, and to shatter the legacy of the dark conquerors who have long gripped the world. But in a world long subjugated by evil... Who truly is the ultimate enemy? And can a glimmer of light truly vanquish the ancient, deep-rooted powers of darkness... powers that predate even the age of the gods?Complete
The catalyst Within : Architect of Chaos
Liah John thought she was just a freshman with migraines and a morally confusing lab crush. Turns out, she's the vessel of a forgotten god- and her existence might end time itself. Her mother? The goddess of night and memory. Her father? A realm-architect who broke prophecy for love. Her professor? Not just dangerous-he may be the key to awakening Kronos, the god of destruction. Long before Earth, seven divine siblings ruled the realms around Vega. They kept creation in balance... until Liah was born. Now, memory has become a weapon. Love is a forbidden algorithm. And science is beginning to imitate magic. Liah wasn't created-she was designed: to protect, to burn, to choose between saving the galaxy or restarting it. But in a universe built on rewritten truths, one question haunts every god and mortal alike- is any of this even real?
ECHOES OF THE VANISHED
Once, this world was painted in hues of green and blue,alive, breathing, and free. Now it lies cloaked in dust and sorrow, so pale that even the sky weeps in pity. Where wings once danced across endless skies, not a single feather dares to fall. The colours of life were stolen and those who took them, know their guilt too well. But isn't that the rhythm of life itself? To fall, to bleed, to rise again? Life was meant to be free wild as the wind, untamed as hope. Yet now, that life flickers...its final light trembling beneath the weight of despair. Until they came, the "saviours," wrapped in golden lies. They promised colour, promised salvation, but in the dark, they only snuffed out more stars. And just when the world's last song was about to fade life defied its own ending. It gave birth to something forbidden. Unnatural. Unwanted. Unbreakable. They were the echoes of rebellion souls forged in silence and fire. The world would tremble again, its nights filled with screams of the dark for the light these Unnaturals would ignite. For they were no longer just outcasts. They were "Revolutionaries" rising against the shadowed throne of a corrupted order, against the lies that chained the truth, and against the hands that silenced every voice that dared to speak. And through their defiance, the world would remember, that even in the deepest dark, light is born from those who refuse to bow.
Light (old version)
~old version, look at the other one~ Jasper is the typical prince you don't want to piss off; cold, unforgiving, and mysterious. He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless. He doesn't want to do anything about his boring life, for he believes himself far too lazy to achieve anything substantial. Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'? I SHLD BE ADDING TRIGGER WARNINGS here it goes (takes a deep breath) Graphic violence & torture Psychological abuse & manipulation Captivity & imprisonment Forced servitude Self-destructive behavior Blood, injuries, chronic illness / disability PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, dissociation, body dysmorphia (Listing some of Jas's mental illnesses out like a cake recipe) Death of family members / execution Power imbalance & morally grey protagonist Subtle themes of toxic dynamics REALLY dubious consent Hopelessness and despair Moral corruption Implied sexual trauma Public humiliation & degredation Grooming undertones and control (i'm looking at u elios) Love as manipulation Self loathing&blame Panic attacks Execution scenes Confinement and starvation
