Power was never the problem. Control was. In a fractured, dystopian Nigeria, the elite Uppers rule with iron fists and marble halls, while the Lowers and Rejects survive on scraps-and silence. A government-issued drug called Nullisyn keeps the population obedient, suppressing superhuman abilities before they can awaken. Michael is just another Reject trying to stay invisible. Haunted by a brutal past and bound to a daily dose of lies, he lives for one thing only: keeping his crew alive. But when a single act of defiance exposes the truth behind Nullisyn, everything changes. As dormant powers awaken and the State tightens its grip, Michael and his friends are forced into a rebellion they never planned-against a regime led by Supreme Leader Jide, the architect of the system... and the monster tied to Michael's deepest scars. What begins as survival becomes revolution. From the slums to the shattered gates of Abuja, Rise of the Rejects is a story of power, sacrifice, found family, and the question that could burn a nation to the ground: Can those cast aside by society rise high enough to change it?

Power. Purpose. Pain. What do you choose when the world fears who you are? When gods whisper and demons scheme, it is mortals who bleed. She is the prophecy: a child forged from the blood of a goddess and the Demon King, destined to shatter an ancient curse and unleash the horrors sealed away for centuries. Raised in secrecy by a father more monster than man, Naya is taught to feed on souls and wield destruction without mercy. But guilt is a seed too strong to kill. When her powers erupt and innocent lives are lost, Naya is cast out, alone and hunted. Her only ally is Zikora, a stubborn, sharp-tongued healer who sees past Naya's darkness... maybe even understands it. Together they set out to challenge destiny, power, and the blurry line between good and evil. But some truths burn too deeply. And some friendships are doomed from the start. As old gods stir, demons claw their way back into the mortal realm, and empires rise against one another, Naya must choose: fulfill the dark legacy she was born to, or burn her own path into legend. But some stories don't end in redemption. Fate is cruel, and love, crueler still.
