Velvet & Smoke

On what seems like the darkest day of his life, a man meets an unexpected end. But rather than the oblivion he expects, he finds himself face-to-face with Death itself. With a smirk, Death offers him a second chance—not just to live but to shape a world on the brink of upheaval. Reborn in a foreign realm split into four distinct nations, he quickly realizes that he’s been granted an extraordinary gift: mastery over the raw, opposing powers of fire and ice bending. As he journeys through these lands, he learns to wield his abilities with terrifying precision, becoming both a beacon of hope and a harbinger of fear to those who witness his power. Along his path, he crosses fates with remarkable figures: a fierce, blind girl whose senses can perceive the world in ways he never imagined, and a nimble circus performer whose talents in acrobatics and flexibility hide layers of cunning and strength. Together, they traverse lands gripped by conflict, forging bonds as deep as the powers they wield. With each step, he leaves an indelible mark on the nations, setting off a chain of events that will shake the very foundations of this world. His journey, his allies, and his newfound powers will forever change the course of history.

The emperor has embarked on his journey, and he will undoubtedly quell any opposition, vanquish his foes, and seize all that they possess, riding their finest steeds and claiming their most beautiful wives and concubines as his own.

In a world where strength is dictated by divine relics… one boy is born with nothing—and yet, may become the end of everything. In the shattered continent of Auraterra, every child bears the Eclipse Mark—a sigil tied to the ancient forces known as the Relics of Ecliptica. These marks grant unimaginable power, shaping the future of empires, clans, and kings. But Kaen is different. He was born Shadowless—a cursed child without a mark, without power, without a future. Mocked. Beaten. Forgotten. Left to rot in the ruins of a war that ended long ago. Until the day he touches a relic that was never meant to be found. Until he hears a voice that should have stayed buried. Until the Archeflare awakens. Now, Kaen holds a forbidden power that no one understands—a force that rewrites reality itself, forged not from talent, but from sacrifice. Every use burns away a piece of him. Every battle demands something greater. And the world is watching. From noble heirs to ancient monsters, from hidden sects to celestial realms—Kaen is no longer invisible. He is a flame in the dark. A threat to fate itself. And the boy with no shadow? He may become the one who burns the entire system to ash.

A giant tree popped up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean covering the world in a strange new radiation and because of it, people began to change. First, there are the Chosen. These super humans have only slight physical changes and yet can manifest amazing elemental powers. Next, you have the Infected. These humans have experienced large scale body changes which range from animal adaptations to simply grotesque body decomposition. Most are still normal and sane humans who attempt to adapt to life while being shunned by others. There are some however that have grown deranged and think themselves the rulers of the world. Our MC lives a somewhat lonely life while sometimes being accompanied by his rather senile yet kind grandfather. He has no idea where his parents went after they dropped him off a few years ago, so he has no choice but to stay here. He lives by the idea that he should just be air and not be noticed in the slightest. All of this goes ok until things start changing and Laz starts getting dragged around in many different directions. Welcome to a story of Gods, evolution, love, adult situations and basically bringing a bit of eastern fantasy to western civilization. Hope you enjoy the ride.

"In a world where every child awakens a class, he awakened two. Then shattered them both." In a galaxy governed by awakening ranks—from F to XXR, with X being the peak ever recorded—Arel was destined to fall short. Born to a humble blacksmith and a housewife in a backwater planet forgotten by the stars, his future was set in stone: poverty, ridicule, and silence. At age twelve, when every child awakens their Class, Arel receives a Saint—an honorable, divine-based class—only to watch it crumble and be replaced by something cursed: Necromancer. In a world where the dead are feared and mental strain from summoning consumes even veterans, Necromancers are discarded, unwanted, dangerous. Especially when they’re human. But Arel is different. He doesn’t just raise bones—he revives souls. Each minion he summons remembers their past, grows, evolves. And behind this forbidden class lies a System, whispering to him secrets buried in time, rewards within dungeons, and a path toward something ancient—something forgotten. As chaos brews, dungeons erupt, and unknown races from far galaxies stir, Arel embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind his father’s silence, his missing mother, and his sister’s mysterious Elf-Psychic hybrid class. In a universe where even S-rank warriors tremble before Demon Lords of the Abyss, where Dragonkin guard their island realms and empires crumble overnight, Arel doesn’t just plan to survive. He plans to break the system, forge a new path—and ascend beyond the ranks known to any galaxy. Even if it means becoming a being the world no longer remembers. Even if it means becoming... Chaosborn.

The city lights blurred as Evelyn Carter ran—away from the past, away from the voice that had kept her caged for years. Westbridge University was supposed to be her escape, a place where she could disappear, blend into the background, and finally breathe. But then he showed up. Adrian West wasn’t supposed to notice her. Loud, confident, and radiating a warmth she wasn’t used to, he crashed into her quiet world like a storm she never saw coming. And for the first time, silence wasn’t her only option. But the past doesn’t let go so easily. Secrets don’t stay buried forever. And running… running was never the same as being free. She thought she was invisible. He saw her anyway. Are you ready to uncover the truth? It is a slow-burn, heartwarming story about love, healing, and finding the light even in the darkest places.
