VALERIA: Last Flame Rising

VALERIA: Last Flame Rising In a world where peace is a privilege paid for in blood, one boy rises from the ashes of powerlessness to defy fate itself. Two hundred years ago, the Varnok descended — primal horrors immune to blade and bullet. Humanity teetered on the edge of extinction until the Origins appeared, beings of unfathomable might who gifted the world Essence Magic and drove the monsters back. Now, the last bastion of mankind survives on a single continent: Valeria. In this new age, adventurers climb the ranks of power known as the Flame Ascension, battling monsters, exploring ancient ruins, and defending peace bought with centuries of sacrifice. Kael Fael never wanted to fight. With a loving family, a heroic older brother, and dreams of a quiet life, war was never meant for him. But when a Varnok horde attacked his village and left his brother broken and near death, Kael tasted the bitterness of helplessness—and it changed him forever. Years later, Kael stands at the bottom of the path his brother once walked. With only average talent but an indomitable will, he throws himself into training, determined to climb through pain, loss, and fear to reach a strength few dare dream of. But as Kael rises, something stirs in the shadows. Forgotten rituals resurface. The Varnok grow bolder. And the truth behind the Origins’ arrival may be far darker than anyone knows. When the last flame rises, will it be salvation… or the world’s end?

Mad Hatter's Guide to Clearing The Game

-- WSA 2025 Entry -- READ THE SYNOPSIS BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE STORY “Five… Four… Three… Two… One…” As the countdown towards the new year went on to the last second, Miles looked up to the sky, just as everybody else did. In the middle of the crowded street, Miles for once felt like he belonged. Being a teenage gamer, living with his parents, and trying to build a life as a streamer, he did not feel like leaving his room every day. But there, in the middle of that crowded street, with everyone around him paying attention to the sky, the countdown on the digital billboard, and mostly anything else but him., Miles felt like a ghost. A welcomed ghost, but a ghost, after all. With a smile on his unseen face, he looked up as the countdown reached one, and everybody sang in unison. ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR!” But Miles’ eyes widened as he watched in utter horror, and curiosity, even, hovering above him, a holographic screen with a few lines of text written in it. All around him, although he did not pay much attention to it, a few other people seemed to experience the same situation. [Updating home-world 39515’s version] [Version 20.25 update brings a lot of fun and games with the new and improved survival mode] [Do you want to convert your previous avatar to home-world 39515’s latest version?] [Yes] [No] “Survival… Mode?” Miles’ lips quivered. Before he could think of anything else, though, the people around him began to scream…

The dragon's harem

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

-Behind Closed Doors-

For all those who've been going down a dark path- it's never too late to turn around. Drugs. Heartbreak. Silence. He was seventeen and already done with life. He didn’t want to die. He just wanted the pain to end. She left him. The only light in his life had left him. And she wasn’t the first. Because everyone abandoned Adam. He was never enough. But Logan, the school’s party guy, seemed to have taken a liking to this loner. He teaches him how to numb the pain. But the drugs never drowned everything out. Adam’s life keeps spiraling further. Pressure keeps building around him. His coping mechanisms only throw him deeper into the darkness. Will Adam escape the spiral he was thrown into, or will his momentum keep up until he’s in grave? This Webnovel explores themes of suicide, depression, the consequences of drug use, the fragility of mental health, the stigma surrounding emotional vulnerability, toxic masculinity, isolation, miscommunication, bullying and it’s consequences, cycles of neglect, the ignoring of minor’s mental issues, the unknown effects of words and actions on others, and the duality of addiction. !Trigger Warning! You might think that just because I- the author of this book- am thirteen years old, this book will be safe, soft, and mostly child friendly. It is not. Be warned before you delve into Adam Carter's seriously messed up mind; this book is not made for the faint of heart.  It deals with themes of depression, suicide, and bullying. There are many scenes where characters are doing a plethora of different illegal drugs. Underage characters drink alcohol. Be prepared for some fighting, descriptions of sometimes brutal injuries, themes of self harm, suicidal ideation, emotional and physical neglect, swearing, and trauma. This book is not written to glorify or encourage any of those things. This book is written to show what we often hide behind our closed doors, to raise awareness, and to show what NOT to do.  You have been warned. Those of you who are left, leave your world and enter a broken mind.
