The hollow gift

Lixx
Kael Virein was born fortunate — prodigious, composed, and revered within the towering city of Varethiel. Son of a powerful stateswoman and heir to a legacy gilded by intellect and expectation, Kael has everything anyone could want. Everything… except a reason to want it. Drifting through days lined with perfection, Kael lives like a ghost in his own life — watching, not quite participating. Until one quiet morning, a seemingly trivial event stirs something long buried. A missing charm. A forgotten phrase. A shadow in the archives. And with it, the first unraveling thread. In a world balanced on peace and rot, where forbidden ruins whisper of old sins and legacy is a chain mistaken for honor, Kael must choose: cling to the life gifted to him, or sacrifice everything to reclaim something real — even if he no longer knows what that is. Because some gifts give. And some only take.

Echoes of Infinite

In a world where the veil between reality and nightmare has shattered, monsters now prowl the streets of Tokyo after sundown. Humanity’s last line of defense lies with the Nightguard Corps—an elite force trained to fight back the horrors that emerge in the darkness. Divided into five powerful divisions, each unit faces death nightly to preserve the fragile peace of the waking world. Lucien, a mysterious teenager who first was a homeless orphan from the age of 3 now is gifted with divine powers by the Creator of Gods. He is told that he is the vessel for the God of Vengeance. He finds himself dragged into this war after barely surviving a monster attack. Taken in by the Nightguard Corps, he endures brutal training, deadly trials, and soul-shattering tests of character. But even after surviving the legendary Death Trial—a fight to the death against a monstrous abomination no one has ever lived through—Lucien is denied his rightful place. Only through the loyalty of newfound friends and a second chance at fate does Lucien rise again. Now a full-fledged member of Division Five—a small but growing squad consisting of Rylen, Jason, Emiluna, and himself—Lucien begins his new life among comrades who treat him like family. With each passing mission, his power evolves—telekinesis, superhuman strength, mental perception, and the mysterious divine force known as Purgeflame—a holy fire that burns through corruption itself. But peace is short-lived. Haunted by the power inside him and hunted by the beings beyond comprehension, Lucien must face not only the monsters outside—but the ones buried deep within himself. Because the truth is clear: Lucien wasn’t just chosen by a god. He may have been created to kill them.
