In a world where every tamer awakens a single, fixed talent… Kael was cursed with the weakest of them all, Parasitic Bond, an ability everyone mocked as useless. Until they realized the truth. Kael doesn’t just bond with beasts… He steals their talents, and keeps them forever. Starting with a dying wolf pup, Kael begins a ruthless rise, copying abilities, stacking powers, and triggering terrifying evolutions no one has ever seen. What begins as a fragile companion soon mutates into a chimeric monster, one that carries the traits of dragons, phoenixes, and things far more dangerous. But power comes at a cost. As Kael climbs the ranks of the Beast Tower and crushes so-called geniuses, his forbidden ability draws attention, from elite clans, jealous prodigies, and powerful figures who would rather see him controlled… or erased. Even those who get close to him find themselves bound by a strange, addictive connection they can’t fully resist. Now, hunted and feared, Kael must decide. Will he stop before he becomes a monster… or will he devour every talent in existence and rewrite the laws of this world?

Ares Valen was an ordinary man—until a lightning storm tore reality apart and hurled him into another world. He wakes up inside the dying body of a forgotten prince on a collapsing frontier: a barren desert, starving civilians, half-orc raiders, berserk tribes, and warlords fighting over the last scraps of land. Death closes in from every direction. Then a familiar voice echoes in his mind: “Rome: Total War system initialized.” The world changes. With this strange power, Ares can summon Roman legions, build ancient cities, unlock divine blessings, and command armies that grow stronger after every victory. As the chosen War Priest of Jupiter, he gains divine skills, awakens legendary commanders, and turns a dying settlement into a rising force feared across the frontier. But enemies are everywhere— dark mages, barbarian clans, forgotten gods, and kingdoms long fallen into ruin. In the shadows, something ancient begins to stir again… the same force that once destroyed this land. Aretian has only one path left: Rise. Conquer. Survive. And forge a new Rome in a world that has never known its might. War. Strategy. Divine power. A legend begins at the edge of the desert.

Arcana High is known as the greatest magic academy in the Bluestar World. It is prestigious, disciplined, and supposedly safe. But when a group of ordinary teens accidentally breaks into the academy’s restricted library, they uncover something no student was ever meant to see: A living, ancient map that chooses them as its “Special Players.” From that moment on, their lives changed into a strange, game-like reality where hidden, forbidden regions appeared all around the Bluestar World. Monsters, Mutated Beasts, Zombies, and unknown monstrosities roam the world. Every basic spell evolves like a skill tree. And the map keeps issuing quests with one warning: “Level up… or die.” Forced to team up despite their clashing personalities, the teens must explore the world's hidden regions, unlock ancient magic, and complete trials that push them far beyond their limits. But the deeper they go, the more they realize: The map is just a trial ground for divine beings called the Naphil. Entities powerful enough to rewrite the structure of the Bluestar World. And now, they want to filter out the strong players from the weak. If humans can't level up fast enough, Arcana High won’t be the only thing that falls…The entire realm will.
