London Undercurrent: Psychic Walker

Under the misty and historically sedimented surface of London, there is a hidden current that ordinary people cannot imagine. Eighteen year old Alan Shaw grew up at the "Herbal Hall" Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown, East London, and was raised by a mysterious grandfather. He leads an ordinary to almost boring life: helping his grandfather manage the pharmacy during the day, smelling the fragrance of licorice and angelica; At night, they sweat and move cold goods in the dock warehouse. Fatigue is his norm, and occasionally when his fingertips brush over metal or candlelight, the fleeting strange "flowing sensation" is also attributed to his own overwork or nerve sensitivity. Grandfather's warning - 'Hide yourself, don't reveal anything special' - is the iron rule of his life. However, on a foggy midnight, fate rudely tore open the curtain of his peaceful life. On the shortcut in the abandoned shipyard area, Allen was dragged into the darkness by a sound that was not a human fight: the wild beast like roar tore apart the silence, and the metallic roar carried a piercing chill. Curiosity and an indescribable pull overwhelmed his fear of the unknown, leading him into the depths of the shadows of the steel ruins. There, he witnessed an unimaginable sight: a pale and swift ghostly figure ( Blood Clan ) engaged in a fierce battle with a muscular and partially beastly strong man ( Werewolf ) under the moonlight. Their power transcends the boundaries of physics, as blood light and claws pierce through thick fog. Even more deadly, a wild werewolf out of control sensed his gaze and charged straight towards him! At the critical moment, the suppressed and vaguely perceived "energy" in Allen's body fluctuated uncontrollably, like a stone thrown into a calm pond, instantly disrupting the invisible force field of the entire battlefield. This unexpected energy ripple not only exposed him, but also attracted the intervention of a mysterious woman who claimed to be the Guardian, Lena White. Her appearance saved Allen, but also plunged him completely into the hidden abyss known as' The Veiled World 'beneath the glamorous facade of London. Alan finally realized that the "energy" he perceived was the power of the origin of all things - Anima. Those who are born or awakened, able to perceive, absorb, and use spiritual energy like him, are called Animates. In this world, wizards weave arcades, witches communicate with nature, vampires (a blood race that claims to be the "Crimson Council") thirst for eternal life, werewolves (following the ancient "Silver Moon Oath") roar under the moon, and various forces such as alchemists, Druids, and psychic warriors maintain a fragile balance under ancient rules, hiding together in mortal society. And what broke this balance and caused a bloody storm was a mysterious organization called 'Ouroboros'. They crazily chased after the nine legendary Prime Glyphs left by ancient beings, each representing a subversive and almost world rule-based way of using spiritual energy, such as the "Weaving of Life" that manipulates life, the "Anchor Point of Time and Space" that interferes with time and space, and the "Return of All Things" that devours all things... They are powerful enough to rewrite reality and the ultimate treasure coveted by all ambitious people.

Signo:The Unblessed Engine

[(MUST READ)] Guide to the World of Signo Welcome to Signo, a world powered by its mystical core—the very heart that fuels all life, magic, resources, and invention. The closer one’s essence is to Signo’s Core, the greater their strength and abilities become. The Seven Continents & Their Graces Each continent is overseen by one of the Seven Graces, divine-like beings who govern different aspects of power and existence: Evascera – Domain of the Grace of Life Neuraleth – Domain of the Grace of Senses Elarith – Domain of the Grace of Space Yhrakka – Domain of the Grace of Beasts Ceravayn – Domain of the Grace of Mind Thorneal – Domain of the Grace of Death Chronisca – Domain of the Grace of Time Geography & Culture There are no countries in Signo. The Seven Graces rule all, and instead of nations, the world is divided into cities—each with its own unique culture and societal structure. The Vanderes – The True Threat The Vanderes are otherworldly invaders, often just as strong—if not stronger—than the Graces themselves. They are feared as the natural predators of the Graces, and their presence threatens the balance of the world. Power System: Magic, Warriors, and Craftsmen All power in Signo flows through a concept called Connection—the bond between one's spirit and Signo itself. Mages: Use magic through their Connection to Signo Fuel magic with mental strength (willpower > stamina) Can cast, summon, buff, and reshape elements according to will Stronger mages have unwavering mental discipline Most use magical weapons or mediums forged from resources near Signo's core Warriors: Cannot use magic, but have bodies directly connected to Signo Possess superhuman physical strength and endurance Born with combat-optimized traits that limit magic use Craftsmen: Experts in smithing, engineering, and invention Can detect and utilize rare resources with ease Can use magic, but only to fuse with creations or tools Their Connection aligns with utility, not offense Anomalies: Rare individuals are born with both mage and warrior traits—they are mysterious, powerful anomalies, and their nature is still not fully understood. Elements & Alignment Magic is categorized by elemental attributes. A mage’s Connection can determine their affinity: A tornado-shaped connection = Wind alignment A glowing molten core = Fire Crystalline aura = Ice or Earth And so on… Some individuals are capable of wielding multiple elements. Warriors manifest elements through their combat style and personality Artificers reflect elements in the materials they use and the devices they create The 10 Taboo Beasts There exist ten legendary beasts—creatures so powerful they rival even the Graces. They are rarely seen, nearly impossible to track, and their existence is whispered in fear. Status: UNKNOWN

When Kingdoms Burns

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

The Arsenal In Me (AIM)

WuYan never sought war but he was built for it. A decorated commander and tactician, WuYan led one of the most elite private military forces on Earth. He's calm under pressure, fiercely loyal to his men and ruthless only when the mission demanded it but he was the kind of leader forged by necessity, not ego. Then the unthinkable happened. His fortress-like military base was ambushed by a force unlike anything Earth had ever seen. Drones moved with alien intelligence, orbital strikes tore through defenses, and cloaked machines overwhelmed them in minutes. There was no warning, no negotiation, only devastation. WuYan blacked out amidst the chaos. He awoke not in ruins but aboard a starship, orbiting a twisted version of Earth. The geography was familiar, but the world had changed. Here, dragons flew beside war mechs and magic flowed alongside machine code. This wasn’t his Earth. It was something else. Something rebuilt. He hadn’t been rescued. He had been summoned. Centuries ago, a multiversal machine race known only as the Class V descended upon this world. They didn’t conquer but they erased worlds, gods, demons as nothing withstood them. In desperation, a fragile alliance of divine and infernal beings summoned humanity’s greatest legends—Zhuge Liang, Musashi, Odysseus, Arthur, Beowulf and others, bestowed them with sacred and profane gifts. Together, they fought back and won. But the victory came at a cost. Pantheons were shattered. Heroes were lost. The world they saved was built anew from the bones of divine realms and the ruins of machine tech. The surviving legends, granted immortality, were left to rule in the absence of their creators. And as centuries passed, that immortality turned into ambition. Peace unraveled. Old allies became rivals. Now, the world teeters on the edge of another great war, one fueled not by mortals but by immortal egos. So the goddesses—NuWa, Athena, Isis, Sif, and Amaterasu-Okami—made a final move. They didn’t choose another myth or sorcerer. They summoned a man of discipline. A soldier of balance. Instead of divine magic, they rebuilt WuYan with forbidden technology scavenged from the Machine War. His body was enhanced with regenerative nanites, adaptive reflexes, and neural war-learning systems. He became a supersoldier built to face champions blessed by both gods and demons. To match the threat, he was given a custom battlesuit—an evolving weapon that boosts his abilities and more dangerously, allows him to absorb and adapt powers from those he defeats. And he’s not alone. Two androids accompany him. They are mysterious, intelligent, and far more human than machines should be. Programmed to assist, protect, and infiltrate, they serve loyally... but their true purpose remains unknown, even to themselves. WuYan’s mission is simple on the surface: Stop the next war before it begins. Eliminate corrupted immortals. Stabilize the world. But the deeper he goes, the more twisted the truth becomes. What really happened during the Machine War? Why did so many summoned legends vanish? And what are the goddesses hiding behind their last desperate gamble? As WuYan builds a new force in the shadows, recruiting allies, neutralizing threats and rewriting the rules, he begins to understand: He wasn’t chosen as a hero. He was sent as a correction. A balancing force in a world ruled by gods, demons, and the ghosts of humanity’s greatest legends. A soldier walking the edge between war and peace. And in a realm where myths have turned into tyrants and technology whispers rebellion, WuYan may be the world’s last chance to prevent total collapse... …or the final trigger to end it all.
