our worlds collide

soulswastik
Seventeen-year-old Eli Carter is a sarcastic, insomniac loner with a haunted past, a fucked-up home life, and a mental health cocktail that makes every day feel like emotional Russian roulette. He’s fine with keeping people out—until he stumbles across Raven, a quiet, cryptic girl about to jump off a bridge in the middle of an Alaskan winter. He saves her, awkwardly. She survives, reluctantly. And neither of them really knows what to do next. What follows is an accidental friendship made of shared trauma, midnight meme sessions, way too many emotional landmines, and art class group projects that feel more like therapy. As rumors swirl and high school drama crashes into real-life pain, Eli and Raven find themselves navigating the weird in-between of being broken, being seen, and maybe—just maybe—being okay. But healing isn’t linear. Love isn’t simple. And when two broken worlds collide, the fallout can be beautiful... or catastrophic.

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
