Segregation Stories

Gardienia: a secret or prohibited bond in the old language of flowers

The Storm That Chose Us A storm unlike any in history. A phenomena that should have claimed eight lives. Instead... it chose them. After surviving an impossible disaster, eight ordinary students find themselves bound by a secret that no one else can explain. Strange changes begin to consume their lives, forcing them to question everything they thought they knew about the world. But Earth is only the beginning. Drawn into a mysterious realm where strength determines fate and ancient powers shape the course of history, they soon learn that returning home is no longer an option. Not until they discover why they were chosen. Not until they fulfill the destiny the storm awakened. In a world of cultivation, forgotten legends, dangerous enemies, and impossible choices, the eight must decide whether to fight the fate forced upon them... or become the very legends history has been waiting for.
