Beast Integration

marquise001
BEAST INTEGRATION The world ended when humanity tried to build the perfect soldier. What it created were Abominations—monsters born from hubris and laboratory glass, powerful enough to unmake civilization in a single generation. Cities fell. Governments dissolved. The dead zones spread like rot. When the first generation was finally burned from the earth, an organization called Rainbow rose from the ashes. They built walls. They lit floodlights. They promised the nightmare was over. They lied. Kael Veyron arrives at Rainbow Shelter starving, hollow-eyed, and too exhausted to question the price of a warm bed. For three weeks, the shelter is the closest thing to peace he has known since the Collapse. Then the old man who welcomed him disappears. Not into the wasteland. Not through the gates. Into thin air. Kael starts counting. Empty bunks. Reassigned work details. Meals prepared for residents who never come to collect them. Forty-one missing. Then more. And Rainbow does not seem interested in finding them. What he finds beneath the shelter is worse than death. The project never ended. It simply moved underground—renamed, sanitized, hidden behind reinforced steel and surgical lights. Forced into disposing of the failed experiments, Kael descends into a world of glass tanks and incinerators, of bodies that look almost human and screams that don't sound human at all. Then he finds the flask. Small. Unlabeled. Filled with a black substance that does not flow—it crawls . It presses against the glass with something like hunger. Like recognition. Cornered by Rainbow soldiers, out of options, out of time, Kael makes a desperate choice. He drinks it. His body breaks. His bones are unmade and rebuilt by hands he cannot see. His blood becomes something else—something ancient, something patient, something that has been waiting a very long time to wake up. When he opens his eyes, the soldiers are dead. Kael doesn't remember what happened. He only knows that something inside him has changed. Something is rewriting him from the marrow out. Something that does not want to possess him. It wants to become him. In a world where humanity has locked itself behind walls to keep the monsters out, Kael Veyron is learning the most terrifying truth of all: The apocalypse created the Beasts. Now it has created something that can become one. And the thing wearing his skin is just getting started.

GAME OF THRONES: AEGON THE AVENGER

Lightweight system) (Slow-heating) Aegon travels to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire and becomes Aegon Targaryen, who shares the same name. Good news: He possesses the bloodline of the Valyrian Dragon King and can ride dragons. Bad news: I didn't transmigrate into Aegon the Conqueror who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, nor into any of the Targaryen kings in history, but into "Little Aegon"—yes, the one who got smashed against a wall by the Mountain and had his head split open. To make matters worse, the Targaryen dynasty had already fallen, and a usurper had ascended the throne in King's Landing. He could only drag his broken body and rely on the system to stay alive as he fled to the Narrow Sea. Aegon thought he was getting a tragic and heartbreaking script, but what happened? Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Valyrian Ruins and received 1 chance to win a prize. Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Golden Legendary item and obtained King Ghidorah (juvenile form). Aegon stared in astonishment at the grotesque three-headed beast on the system screen: "Wait... is this art style right?!" When the shadow of a three-headed dragon, obscuring the sky, swept across King's Landing, when the chaotic Seven Kingdoms were reunited under the dragon's wings, and when usurpers and traitors were reduced to ashes in the flames, the maesters who wrote the Targaryen Chronicles bestowed upon him the title "Aegon the Avenger" after Aegon the Conqueror.

Fabled Class: To Iona

PLOT SCOPE The barrier holding back Abaddon — powered by the Twelve Heavenly Crystals — has started to weaken, and Gates to that realm are tearing open all across Zeon, threatening to unleash floods of fiends onto every civilization in their path. In response, the Fabled Class sends Kei and Vincent on a critical scouting mission into the Sunhonghin Imperial Kingdom (Iona). Their goal: infiltrate the Shengyowon vault during the once-every-three-years Fang Heian festival, track down the crystals, and figure out what's draining their power. Once they arrive in Iona, the pair builds a cover story and ends up crossing paths with Princess Choi Yejin, leader of the Blood Rose division. After demonstrating their combat skill through a series of trials and duels at Zheng Fort, they're formally brought into the imperial ranks as her retainers. Their journey deeper into Iona, headed toward Lingwen Fortress, takes a sharp turn when the Southern Alliance Treaty (SAT) launches a full-scale invasion. Forced to fight alongside the Hwa-Samurai along the coastline and take down enemy commanders in the process, Kei and Vincent find themselves stretched thin — juggling their cover as loyal retainers with their real mission, all while something darker moves quietly behind the scenes, working to tear down the barriers protecting their world. SYSTEM Practition is the dominant power system across the world of Zeon, rooted in teachings passed down by Amaterasu when she first came to the realm. Those who wield it go by practitioners, though terms like mage or sorcerer are used just as often. At its core, practition draws on two fundamental forces: Prana and Mantra. Prana is the raw energy of life itself — every living creature carries it, tracing back to the moment the God Tree, Drassil, first gave rise to life. Within practition, prana's main use is healing. When compressed tightly enough within body and soul, it transforms into something else called Anima, which practitioners use to enhance their physical abilities beyond normal human limits. Mantra, meanwhile, is the energy woven into nature itself — present everywhere except the empty dark beyond the realms. Practitioners typically use mantra to bend natural elements like fire, water, earth, ice, and wind, and at the highest levels, even light, space, and time itself. When prana and mantra combine, they produce something called mana — the energy most practitioners rely on day to day. Mana goes a step further than simply bending existing elements; it lets a practitioner generate the element from nothing at all. It can also be channeled into weapons, making them sharper and more durable. The possible uses for mana are so broad that no single practitioner could ever master them all. There's a third fundamental energy, though, that humans were never meant to touch: Nethra. It clashes violently with prana, corrupting both body and soul wherever it takes hold. Yet in rare cases, that corruption doesn't destroy the host — it reshapes them instead, into something far more powerful than they were before.

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.
