martial artists arrive - total strangers, each carrying the weight of their style, philosophy, and pride. Twenty-four fighters. Twenty-four disciplines. One rule: respect above all.
From the flowing kicks of Sikaran to the precise strikes of Arnis, the spinning rhythms of Capoeira to the lethal efficiency of Krav Maga, each warrior embodies not just a fighting technique, but a way of life. Here, skill alone isn't enough. Only those grounded in balance, awareness, and humility will survive the trials ahead.
As rivalries ignite and philosophies clash, the island becomes a crucible for testing the limits of body and mind. Friendships will be forged, alliances shattered, and every warrior will discover that strength without respect is meaningless.
One Ground is the first volume of an epic martial arts saga - a cinematic, realistic, and deeply human story of combat, discipline, and the universal truth that transcends every style: every warrior stands. Only the grounded survive.

The Chosen Nothing
A girl lives a life so ordinary it borders on invisible, the kind no one looks at twice. She was never meant to be seen, and for the longest time, she wasn't. Until something -- or someone -- found her. After years of enduring struggles, the last thing she expects is to become the target of a man who wants her dead for reasons she cannot begin to understand. Magic isn't supposed to exist, and yet the world gives way without warning, answering to a voice that pulls her into something else entirely. Going out and beyond lies a different world. One where magic is not wonder, but law -- bound by rules that force each individual into unchangeable reality. She arrives already entangled in it. Enroled in an elite academy where power defines worth, Emma is pushed into a system that leaves no space for hesitation and mistakes. Alliances form and every decision carries consequence. She doesn't belong here. That much is obvious. What is not obvious is why everything keeps circling back to her. Emma was and is never meant to be found, and whatever has begun will unravel everything she has tried to keep intact. Author's Note: Hi~ if you enjoy slow-paced stories with longer chapters -- think story-rich, narrative-driven RPGs (e.g., Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact), this is crafted for you. Patience is rewarded, and every moment is meant to deepen the journey. :)
