Sword Fighting

Two centuries after the Echo Collapse tore reality apart, fractured versions of people Echoes walk the earth, each a distorted reflection of who they once were. Memories can be stolen, rewritten, or weaponized. In the city of Korr Vale, survival depends on knowing which version of someone you’re dealing with… and whether it’s even really them. Dren Auren is one of the rare few born with the ability to resist full Echo corruption though it comes at a cost. Haunted by unstable flashes of lives he never lived, he works as a rogue operative, hunting dangerous Echoes for the highest bidder. But when a failed mission draws the attention of Echo Prime, a godlike Echo claiming to be Dren’s own future self, his life fractures beyond repair. Echo Prime’s plan is simple: fuse every version of Dren across the timelines into a single, “perfect” being. The process will annihilate all other selves including the Dren who stands in his way. Dren’s only hope is Veyna, a resourceful fighter with secrets of her own secrets that tie her fate to his in ways neither of them understand. Together, they must navigate a city riddled with political betrayals, memory storms, and Echo-controlled territories, racing toward the Breach the tear in reality where the war began. But the closer they get, the more Dren begins to question who the real enemy is. Is Echo Prime just another fractured soul fighting for survival… or is he the only version of Dren willing to do what’s necessary to save them all? In a world where identity can be stolen and love may not belong to the person you think, The Echo War asks one question: If you could destroy every version of yourself except one… would you?

"STAND UP YOU MORON!". yelled the space trooper. Rogers groaned with pain. He stood up and with all his weight dived on the space trooper, he didn't know what he was even thinking but somehow the trooper had already lost balance and his gun fallen from his hands. Rogers kicked him in the groins and then with a penknife stabbed him in the temples. The trooper was silent. Rogers thought for a moment maybe he was dead. He wanted to check for his breathing but common with space troopers they always had their helmet on. Rogers proceeded to dislodge the helmet, he was familiar with the technicalities. The battle was still ongoing, he was hearing gunfires afar off, he had checked his attacker pulse, the man was as good as dead. Rogers retrieve his penknife and put it back into his pockets. He was tired and weak to the bones, pains that ran through his stomach made him nauseated. He wanted to vomit. He stared at the sky that has turned with haze and ash, he thought when will all this wars be over, it has been a decade and the galaxies had been at war. He was from Megma, but the people from Metoris and Xival had been their enemies. Aquaris was their ally, and Infact the aquaria have been their supporters from time immemorial.

News had it that the main villain Lord Firemetal and his counterpart Aruma each of them from Metoris and Xival had always wanted to dominate the planet Resmore, then comes the DROIDs from Entexx a place found in Aquaris, who always help them in fighting each battle they went. Their opponents have space droids too.

For a thousand years, the cultivation world has been under the dominance of women, a consequence of a heavenly curse that stripped all men of their ability to cultivate. Men live as second-class citizens, while female sects, matriarchal kingdoms, and Saintesses hold full control over the world's destiny. Amidst this deep-rooted order, an ordinary man named Li Feng unexpectedly awakens the Ancient Yang Core, long lost to history. The awakening of this primordial core not only restores his ability to cultivate but also makes him the only man in the entire realm capable of doing so—an anomaly that shakes the very foundations of the world. Li Feng's unique existence soon draws unavoidable attention when it is discovered that female cultivators who train with him experience a drastic surge in energy and unprecedented cultivation speed. This phenomenon transforms Li Feng from a social outcast into an object of intense desire as well as a major threat. Saintesses from holy sects see him as a tool to achieve their sacred goals; the Demon Queen desires him for personal power and her ambition to challenge the dominance of the holy sects; while the Dragon Princess views him as a cultivation partner with the potential for a deep bond or even greater personal ambitions. Li Feng, who was originally just an ordinary man thrown into a vortex of power, must learn to navigate political intrigue, dangers lurking around every corner, and the temptation of the power within him. He will be forced to choose a path among the factions fighting over him, each with its own agenda and morality. As he grows in strength and understanding, Li Feng begins to uncover the secrets behind the ancient heavenly curse and the true connection between his Ancient Yang Core and the greater destiny of the world.

Q-grade Specials, A-grade Specials, B-grade Specials, C-grade Specials, D-grade Specials and E-grade Specials. That's the order in which every Special in the academy had been ranked until Kastian shows up at a critical time of the school. After losing his parents in a ghastly car accident, Kastian had to move in with his Aunty who did nothing more than maltreat him and make him feel like he should have died in the accident too.

# HELLSPAWN HUNTER ## Synopsis **When the gates of Hell crack open over his hometown, seventeen-year-old Kael Draven should have died with everyone else. Instead, he made a deal with a dying demon—and became something the supernatural world has never seen before.** Kael's father was a legendary Hunter who died keeping secrets. His demonic bond makes him an abomination in the eyes of his father's former allies. And Vex'thul, the ancient demon sharing his headspace, won't shut up long enough to let him figure out which side he's supposed to be on. **Vex'thul the Unbound has survived three millennia by being paranoid, ruthless, and absolutely insufferable. Now he's stuck in the body of an idealistic teenager who thinks "heroism" is a viable career path.** Together, they're humanity's most dysfunctional defense against the supernatural apocalypse. Kael wants to save everyone. Vex wants to survive everything. Neither is getting what they want. The Hunter Academy doesn't train half-demons. Vampire covens don't trust monsters with consciences. Exorcist orders shoot first and ask questions later. And somewhere in the shadows, the conspiracy that killed Kael's father is pulling strings that could unravel reality itself. **Armed with unstable demonic powers, a demon who treats life-or-death situations like a running commentary track, and a stubborn refusal to accept that some people can't be saved, Kael is about to learn that the hardest part of hunting monsters isn't the fighting—it's deciding which monsters deserve to live.** In a world where humanity's protectors might be the real villains, Kael Draven will discover that sometimes the only way to save the world is to embrace the darkness within. *Because when Hell comes calling, sometimes you need a monster to answer.*

Seventeen year old Kelvin Katz has never known what it feels like to belong. After the death of his biological father, his mother remarries, hoping to give her family a fresh start. Instead, Kelvin grows up under the constant emotional abuse of his stepfather, who treats him like an unwanted burden while showering love on his two younger half-siblings. Determined to protect his mother from more conflict, Kelvin endures the pain in silence, never realizing that he has been hiding something far more dangerous than his broken heart.

Secret government agents arrive within hours and take him to Antherion Tower, a mysterious fortress where teenagers with extraordinary abilities are confined.

"Take the lifeboat," his wife said coldly. "You're strong enough to survive." Those were the last words Dante Moretti heard before the woman he loved sailed away... with another man. Dante spent every penny he had to rent a luxury yacht, hoping to give his CEO wife the romantic proposal she had always dreamed of. Instead, she brought her handsome assistant, mocked Dante's love, and treated him like an inconvenience on his own surprise trip. Then a monstrous storm struck. Bleeding from a head wound and desperately fighting to keep the yacht from sinking, Dante begged his wife for help. "Ginevra... please. I can't hold the wheel alone." She never even looked at him. Instead, she chose her assistant. She gave him the only working lifeboat, stole the engagement ring Dante had bought for her, and left her own husband behind to drown in the freezing sea. As darkness swallowed him, Dante accepted that he had been abandoned by the woman he loved. But the ocean refused to let him die. Deep beneath the waves lay an ancient sanctuary where forgotten gods had slept for thousands of years. There, Dante was chosen by the God of War, inherited the supreme legacy of the Sea God Dragon, and awakened as the new Sea God Commander. The weak husband everyone mocked died beneath the ocean. The man who returned was a ruler of the seas, a dragon whose command could shake heaven and earth. Now, his CEO wife believes his divorce is nothing more than an empty threat, while the assistant who stole her heart eagerly waits to take Dante's place. They think he will beg. They think he still loves them. They are about to learn the terrifying truth. The man they abandoned no longer wants revenge. He won't forgive anyone.
