First-Person POV

Seventeen-year-old Rune Weaver thought his biggest problem was surviving senior year at New Haven High. Then a shadow creature attacked him in the school parking lot, and a mysterious man saved his life by throwing fire from his bare hands. Now Rune knows the truth: he is descended from an ancient line of sorcerers called Etherwind, and the darkness that destroyed his ancestors five hundred years ago has returned. He is not alone. Four other teenagers across the city have just discovered their own magical heritage, each from a different Etherwind bloodline. Together they are the last hope against Grimfall, an ancient force of living darkness that feeds on fear and despair. But learning magic is not like the movies. Their powers are wild and dangerous, and every spell they cast brings them closer to the madness that consumed their ancestors. As the shadows spread across New Haven, turning ordinary people into mindless thralls, Rune and his unlikely allies must master their abilities before Grimfall completes its return. They have six weeks until the convergence, when the barrier between worlds falls completely. Six weeks to become the sorcerers their bloodlines demand. Six weeks to save everyone they love from being swallowed by eternal night.

The enhancement serum was meant to create superhumans—faster, smarter, stronger. Instead, it wiped out most of civilization and turned the rest into Hollowed: vicious, mutated monsters. Elias Mercer should’ve been dead. Instead, he became something new—immune, stronger than a Hollowed, and guided by a mysterious (possibly digital) voice in his head. He’s the first successful mutation—and now, everyone wants him. Hunted by Viratech, the shady corporation that created the virus, Black Sun, a ruthless cult with dark motives, and other mutated survivors who’ve lost their humanity, Elias is stuck in a crumbling world ruled by chaos. His body keeps changing, the System in his head grants strange abilities with dangerous side effects, and his forgotten past might hold the key to everything. To survive, Elias must uncover the truth behind the virus, his own identity, and whether saving the world means losing what’s left of himself. Monsters. Mutations. Mystery. And a war on the horizon.

Han Sen was the "Invincible Man" of Nova-Tech, a bottom-tier runner, who took the fall for executive failures just to pay his sister’s ICU bills. He was the man who had nothing, until the CEO’s son took even that, leaving him broken and bleeding in a rain-slicked gutter. But Han Sen didn't die. He woke up with the Absolute Equity System. In a city where the elite treat humans like disposable assets, Han Sen is now the ultimate Auditor. Through his eyes, everything has a visible price tag: from a bodyguard's loyalty and a rival’s luck to a tycoon’s remaining years of life. He isn't interested in joining the one percent. He’s here to liquidate them. From the high-rises of the financial district to the hidden fortresses of ancient martial clans, Han Sen is beginning a cold, calculated climb. He’s done taking the blame—now, he’s collecting the debt. And for those who crossed him, the cost is everything.

Kyle had never had it easy. Orphaned young and bullied by everyone around him, he pushed through each day for one reason only—his little sister. She was critically ill, and the only thing that could save her was the legendary, impossibly expensive 'Moonlight Potion'. His one shot? Becoming a Hunter. With real power, he could finally rise above, earn enough credits, and save the only person who mattered. Everything depended on his eighteenth birthday—the day he would awaken his talent. The day everything was supposed to change. And it did... just not the way he’d hoped. While others awakened fire, shadow, and lightning... Kyle got 'Bubble'. A talent that didn't exist in any known class ranking—from mighty SS to pathetic F. Unrecorded. Unrated. Unwanted. Useless. Weak. Pathetic. That’s what they called him. No guild would take him. No party would have him. But Kyle? He just smiled. Because they didn’t understand. Not yet. 'It’s not about the talent you get. It’s about what you do with it.' Let them mock him. Let them call him useless. Armed with an unknown power and an unbreakable will, Kyle walked into the dungeon alone. The world might see him as nobody for now, but he would prove that even an unranked talent could rise—and that the underdog everyone cast aside might just become a legend.

Cai Arrows was the definition of a "dud." Sent away at the age of five for his defiant nature and stubbornness too unreal for a 5-year old, he spent fourteen years on Qilan mountain.

He was the family’s greatest shame, forgotten by everyone but the Master who tolerated him. ​But when the Patriarch of the Arrows Family suddenly summons him back to Lume City, a near-fatal accident on his way to the city changes everything. Instead of dying, Cai awakens. ​Now, the "talentless" exile has returned to a city built on greed and hidden spiritual rot. With a single black bead and a power he doesn't fully understand, Cai has already done the impossible: he brought the Patriarch back from death’s door. But in Lume City, being a billionaire isn't enough when spiritual entities hunt in the shadows and your own family is more dangerous than any demon. ​Armed with a rich legacy and a terrifying new Sight, Cai begins an unstoppable ascent. In a world of fake masters and selfish elites, Cai might be able to show them that the most dangerous person in the room is the one who has already been to hell and back.
