The question is... who will survive the game?

Marcus Moon was you're typical snot-nosed brat until ten years ago, when monsters he thought were just folklore and legends, killed his father and left him cursed. For the next ten years, while others worried about prom and grades, Marcus suffered from severe pains that came every time he hadn't eaten a supernatural creature, forcing him to become a hunter. Turning misfortune to opportunity, he dedicated his existence to revenge. On the creatures that killed his dad, and on the man who led them. His wish was finally granted when a hunt led him to meet another cursed teenager like him. A girl who can set herself on fire. During their encounter, he awakens to a power hidden within him—soul essence—a power that allows him to manipulate reality. This opens him up to the world of Witchcasters—those who can use soul essence—and he's led down a spiral of blood and tough choices that make him question revenge. When hunger for blood and his humanity oppose one another, this sinking world whispers a simple truth. The path of a hero, is paved in greed.

“Look at him. Completely useless.” Whispers spread like poison as students mocked Asta. He stood alone before the crystal ball,his palms open, waiting for his family’s legendary flame. Nothing came. “No spark. Not even rookie fire. What a joke.” Laughter rang out. “I heard he killed his mother, like, he literally ate his way out from his mothers womb like a monster!” Asta trembled. “It’s not true… I saw the man in the black cloak…” The Empress rose,her eyes cold. “You worm. No flame. No worth. Get out of my sight you disgust me.” Asta walked away through jeers, to the labor pits. An old worker whispered. “They’re blind. I see the Legendary Dragon Flame in you...sleeping deep.” Asta stared at his palm. A dark smile grew. If the old man was right… he wasn’t weak. He was the strongest. When the Dragon Flame wakes, those who laughed will kneel in ashes. Did he awaken it? Did he take revenge? Dive into the fantasy to find out.

Many planets exist in the universe, and each one had strong individuals of various races, some of these strong individuals rose above the masses and became a god. However above all gods was the mysterious Creater, no one knew if he was like the other gods but much stronger, or if he was there for the creation of the universe. Perhaps he created it himself but despite the many theories, nobody knew for sure. However everyone knew of his strength and wisdom And it was because of his strength that the realm was mostly peaceful. Creator: “Everyone, I’m bored. I’m ready to face the next thing in life! But if I leave, chaos will reign due to your petty power struggles, therefore I will create a challenge called the tower.

"Name's Andrew Lapis, bud. Just your run-of-the-mill guy coasting through a mundane existence. My family? As average as they come, all huddled under the drab roof of a cookie-cutter house. University? Yep, I'm there too, pulling down grades that'd make any 'ordinary' student proud. Except for Logic Reasoning. Turns out, I've got a knack for that—extraordinarily good, if you ask me. My nightly routine? Well, it's a real nail-biter. Me and my buddy, we hit up the same old coffee shop, play the same old card games. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm no slouch when it comes to those cards. You could say I've got some pretty extraordinary skills up my sleeve. But here's the kicker—life was as dull as dishwater, or at least it used to be. That was until I stumbled upon certain people that turned my world from yawn-inducing ordinary to a whirlwind of the extraordinary. My reality? It flipped like a pancake on a hot griddle. Gone were the days of ordinary, replaced by a high-stakes world of dirty dealings and opulent casinos. So yeah, you could say my life went from poker nights to playing dirty, but in the swankiest casinos you ever did see."

Three years. That's what I got for playing the hero. For saving her, I was thrown in a cage, disowned by my parents, and betrayed by the woman I loved. Now I'm out, and the beautiful woman I sacrificed everything for looks at me with nothing but scorn. She has no idea who I've become. She sees an ex-convict; I see a woman who's about to learn a terrifying lesson. Making her beg is just the start......

Everyone thought he was a useless son-in-law, a penniless man living off his wife’s family. For years, he endured the insults and the relentless scorn from his in-laws, especially his mother-in-law, who never missed a chance to humiliate him. “You’re nothing but a parasite,” she spat one day. “Leave my daughter at once! She deserves someone better.” And so he did… but not in the way anyone expected. Three days later, a convoy of luxury cars arrived at their doorstep. Security guards opened the door with military precision. Out stepped the same “useless” husband but now in a designer suit, wearing an air of command and confidence that silenced everyone. The truth had finally surfaced: he wasn’t just rich, he was the wealthiest man in the world, a hidden titan who had chosen a quiet life for reasons only he understood. The mother-in-law turned pale. “Please,” she begged, trembling. “Don’t leave my daughter. We didn’t know who you really were…” Too late. The tables have turned, and the man once ridiculed is now the one holding all the power. But he doesn’t seek revenge, only justice and respect.

"This is madness. No. We're not going to do that at all." While saying that, he looked at the few people whose attention seemed to only be on the Tome in front of them. Somehow, he could see the greed on their faces. "Don't tell me you will do as It says? Do you know how many will suffer because of this?" "We will only try on the basis of Knowledge. What if all this, just another lie?" One of the men interrupted with an answer. "Just another lie? We all know and sane enough to realize there is a Hell where we can finally managed to escape. And all of that is the merit of the Paladin Knights. Don't you try to deny it." He replied in a harsh tone and anger almost overflowed. "But think about it? If it was real. As real as it could be. A power that could even prolong one's life." Said by another man in the group who seemed excited by the prospect of a longevity that lasted as far as the planet itself existed. ... ... Then it all ended with a choice that made him decide to leave the group. He paused, then turned to look behind him, gripping his bag tightly. “Soon… You will all regret this. All that's left are sins and guilt that you will have to bear for the rest of your life." ... ...
